Luke l. Says

Some preachers would be a heap
more popular IL their IN were
only as broad Is they are long.
Another reason why we believe that
tobacco should be free from a war
tax and that the war tax on automo-
biles should be doubled Is because we
use tobacco and we have no auto.
We know a man who brags about
his common sense SO much that he
gives other folks the impression that
he hasn't any.
Most men descend from their an
cestors. But now and then you will
run into a hustler who rises above
them.
The trouble with the average girl of
eighteen is hat she knows more than
she ought TO and not as much as she
should.
What has become of the old-fash-
Toned silver key-winding watch. the
covers OF which would make nice
roomy lunch trays?
A practical joker Is usually a dam
phool who has sense enough not 20
play practical jokes on men who are
bigger than he Is.
A woman driving her first auto acts
almost as uppety and naughty as a
young father who Is steering his own
baby buggy for the first time.
ana the reason why a DaDy Is SO
much like its mother Is because when
IL gets what 1t wants II wants some
thing else.
Any time a girl eoyly admits that
she is "over twenty" you can bet that
she isn't far from thirty.
Even when a woman marrtes a mar
to reform him she acts like she didn't
know that he drank and gambied and
smoked until after she had married
him.
Another Damli: There lots OF
~1s-year-old girls in this country who
can't control their mothers.
knowledge of Right and Wrong
won't get you anywhere unless you
also have ems enough 20 choose the
Right.
Every time we hear n Socialist an

OFFICE FOR LOCAL PEOPLE

During the past week loads of gro
Gerry catalogs from Sears, Roekac&
& Co., have arrived at our local post
office for the people of Williston and
Williams county.
We have in our possession one of
these wonderful books with its in
ticeing colored pictures on the cover
of chocolate cake and other good
things to eat, that are printed there
on to provoke ones appetite.
With interest we have scanned the
pages in search of would-be bargains
which the preface tells are to be
found therein, but nary one which
is worth the time and the price of a
postage stamp is revealed in our
search.
Having family to feed, to buy
groceries for and being in close
touch with the prices of groceries Of
fered for sale by the Williston mer-.
chants, through the weekly writing
and preparing of their ads, we find
by comparison that we can procure
far more for our dollars by spending
them here at home. ......
On some articles listed throughout
this catalogue we find that they are
listed in large quantities few cents
cheaper than in Williston, but figur-
ing the freight the local merchant
has them beat.
To make our point more clear and
to prove to you that we know what
we are talking 'about we will quote
the following prices giving the num-
ber of the article and page as taken

MARKET RUNS
AHEAD OF RAILS
New High Records Made
Despite Price of Call
Money.
BY BRoADAN Wall.

New. York, July 1i.-Another ses-
sion of new high records was seen
in Wall Street today and with call
money IL per cent for industriaIs.
Rails responded to the coddling in
huence of lower rates. but were
unable to keep up with the process
sion. The traders scorned all at
tempts to regulate speculation and
the bankers were ridiculed for pre-
|tending to have the power to re-
strain the market There is an
open breach between the bankers
and the traders that may result in
an interesting situation. There is
no doubt of the power of the banks
to check the advance IL they really
are determined to do so. The JUS
tice Of applying the restraining in
fiuence is beside the question. There
is no doubt the power exists. With
such sky-rocketing as was seen to-
day in a few stocks II would be
no surprise to see the brakes ap-
piled.
All the news OF the day was con-
structive. The steel companies all
reported great growth of business
and manufacturing concerns told OF
orders coming to hand far in ex-
cess of their ability to execute
them. The financial district was
disappointed at the delay in re-
opening trade relations with Ger
many. Not that anybody was
anxious to trade there. but it was
felt this country ought to have
an equal opportunity with England
and France provided anybody cared
to take advantage of it.
The ancient hope OF a special dis
bursement on crucible was revived
when the stock shot to a new high
record.
Baldwin was strong also on hopes
for which there is no official basis
except assets in the treasury.
The tobacco shares made new high
records today, Lorillard being most
popular. The advance of the Cen
popular The advance OF the Gen.
eral Cigar dividend to s per cent WAS
a surprise.
The prices were strong under
leadership of keystone. This was
reflected on the Curb market where
every tire security. both new and
secondhand. felt the influence.
Copper is keeping pace with steel
in the revival of business.
The new high record price made
by Pan American was due to e&-
pectation that announcement would
be made soon of the new distribut-
ing company that has been organ
.Eed to\ handle world business for
the Pan Anne rican.
