THE ever-increasing interest in
Chinese rugs is most certainly
warranted by their exquisite
colorings and is no doubt stimulated
as well by the growing appreciation
of furniture of the Chippendale,
Adam and Sheraton styles, for the
Chinese rug is the most appropri-
ate floor covering with furniture of
these periods. Fritz & La Rue, Inc,
1924 Chestnut street, have just re-
ceived a shipment of these lovely
rugs in wonderful shades of blue,
mulberry and Imperial Chinese yell
low, colors of which the eye never
grows weary. They range in size
from 7 feet by 10 feet to IL feet by
18 feet. You should make your Sc
lection now if you intend bestowing
one of these beautiful rugs as gift
at Christmas time.

THERE is a suggestion for a
Christmas gift in each one of
- the little finger rings which
saw the other day at the stores of
I. Press G. Sons, Chestnut and Eighth
streets, 1917 Market street and 909
Market street. There are many in
teresting ones of platinum. One of
these had three filigree squares, one
above the other, and in the center of
each was a diamond. Another, aleo
of platinum, had two larger squares
with a diamond in the center of each
one. A green gold ring had three
square-cut sapphires set close to-
gether. Besides the platinum and
green gold rings there were rings of
PLAIN gold set with diamonds and
other stones. You will find at the
Press stores quite a number from
which to choose the ones for your
Christmas list.

TINE real value of the lamp as
decorative accessory is it's abil-
ity to add to the attractiveness
of a room. 1t is the most noticeable
and very often the most important
accessory in the decorative scheme.
H. D. Dougherty & Co., 1882 Chest
nut street, seems to have realized
this principle most successfully, for
nowhere have l seen more exquisite
lamps and shades. The shades, very
often, have been designed especially
to match the bases of the lamps
which they are to grace. On the
base of one lamp a fiery dragon
rears its head, and it reappears
in bright colors on the shade. Such
a combination is most effective,
as you can we'll imagine, and such
a lamp as this has distinct deco
rative value.

calls were to the farm of Frank john
sen, a neighbor living across the road
they held informal banquets in Mr.
Jchnson's barley field.
The aristocrats owned by Mrs.
Morris would mount the barley shocks
in the Johnson parlor and gobble up
very greedily two quarts of barley
from each shock. To make good his
barley loss, Mr.. Johnson detained his
company of a~ristocrats'' in his barn
yard.
This resulted in a suit being
brought before a local justice of the
peace court in which Mrs. Morris
sued to recover her three dozen ar
is,ocratic ducks or $50. johnson aid
vanced a counterclaim of $25. Judge
Monsoon decided in view of the loss
sustained by Mr.. johnson he should
be reimbursed by being allowed tc
keep the. ducks and paying Mrs. Nor
rts SIS. he also to stand the costs u
the action.
Believing that Mrs. Morris should
stand the costs, 1t it. understood that
johnson will take an appeal to the

GRAIN COMPANY
FACESCRlMlNAL
PROSECUTIONS
occident People May Be
Barred From State Fol
lowing Action at Minot.

Minot, n. D., Sept. 24.-Assistant
Attorney General, Albert r. Sheets,
il. today commenced criminal pro-
ceedings against the Occident Elevat-
or company in Ward county at Minot,
for violating the unfair discrimination
act. 1t ls alleged that the Occident
Elevators at Foxholm and Kenmare
paid higher prices for grain on the
18th of September, than was paid by
the company on the same day at their
elevato- at Funston, in McHenry
county. ,
Purpose of Law is Clear.
This is one of a series of actions
commenced by the Attorney General
over the entire state. against the Oc-
cident company, the first arrests be-
ing made in Emmons county. 1t pro-
ceeds on the theory hat an elevator
company is not permitted to pay more
at n station, the difference in
freight being excluded, than it pays
for the same grade of grain at anoth-
er point. The purpose of the law being
to prevent q corporation owning sew
eral elevators from raising the price
OF grain at one station to force a local
grain buyer out Of business and lower
ing it at another to make up for the
loss sustained at the point where the
competitor is being dealt with.
y. 3. Herigstad, States Attorney of
Ward county, said today: Judging
from the steady rise shown by the
market quotation in the price of
wheat the proceedings seem to have
pondence of the company taken under
search warrant, since the commence
ment of these actions shows this to be
correct" T
IA Cents Difference.
From the same statement of facts
under which the corporation has been
proceeded against criminally, the
also been arrested. The complaints
against them charge that there was a
difference of fourteen cents in the
price which they paid for No. 1 Dark
Northern on the 18th Of September,
between their elevators and the price
that was paid by the agent at the Oc-
cident Elevator at Funston, and that
there was only a difference of one
cent in the freight. Both Of the
agents appeared before Justice A. B.
Dill. this afternoon, and waived. pre-
liminary examination and were bound
over to the district court on $1,000
bond.
May Revoke Charter.
Over the telephone today Attorney
General LANCER stated: THE main
purpose of the action commenced
against the old line elevators in this
state is not only to impose the fine,
but also to cancel the charter of those
found guilty of violating the unfair
discrimination act, and prevent them
from further doing business in North
Dakota. 1t is not the intention Of the
law to prevent them from, paying one
farmer more than another, but ia
compel thsnstfqs pay allsassthe farms
ers alfke.ssahdsto protect honest COM
petition."s fSe
The law under which these actions
arc commenced provides a penalty of
not less than $500, or not smore than
$4,000. and not more than one year
in iail.

HIGH PRICES FOR HIGH TIMES.
How shall we define a normal
price" today? Are these times nor
NAL? And prices, moreover, have no
fixed relation to prosperity. What we
call the cost of living has actually no
real relation to prices. For while the
present price level is high, the hui
man effort that must be put forth to
live, which is the actual "cost Of liv-
ing" is as low as it ever has been
far lower for us than yer in any one
country in the history of the world
simply because in most cases q. days
work will buy Is much and some
times more than before the war and
because a given amount of labor will
