ested in large posters which appeared
about town advertising the coming Of
q man who cUuld play billiards with
his nose. In fact; it was claimed that
he was the only individual in .captiv-
lity who was abletto make expert use
Of his olfactory organ in this manner.
It was enough to interest anybody.
We know many people who have out-
standing characteristics Of one kind
and another, but this is the first time
we ever knew Of anybody who was
able to make his nose provide him a
living. Many uses are made Of noses.
Some blow it, others become obnox-
ious to their friends and neighbors by
constantly inserting it into other peo-
ple's business; still others use it, in
conjunction with their mouth and
throat, to make night hideous with
their unearthly snores; but here was
a man who advertised that he had a
nose for really practical purpose.
He had an excuse for owning a nose.
We were anxious to see the man and
observe him in action, consequently
we made one Of the throng which
packed the Point billiard parlor at the
appointed hour.
And we were not disappointed. At
the first glance we unhesitatingly
awarded him the worlds champion
ship in the nose contest, size only to
be considered. At first we were not
certain whether this appendage was
fastened onto the front Of his face,
or the face attached to the back Of
his nose. At the time we first looked
in his direction fly was perched upon
his nasal appendage. Kenny Bush was
standing in front Of him, and we'll
swear that he was closer to the fly
than the man upon whose nose it was
resting. In order to remove the OBJ
jectionable insect Kenny had to push
it off with his cue-the expert couldn't
reach it. If that man ever gets hay
fever he will have to have his nose
equipped with an cave spout.
But to get back to the billiard game.
We saw him make three cushion
shots, after several attempts, but he
had to place his hands on the table in
order to keep from becoming over-bal-
-anced. The poor, little, inoffensive
ivory balls were as toys in his hands
nose, we mean; and we decided then
and there that if we were z billiard
ball and had to be chased across the
table by nasal protuberance Of such
dimensions we would quit our job and
get over onto pool table. &.
However, this man is to be congrat-
ulated upon having found q use for
an over supply Of nose. Many q man,
when he found himself encountered
with such monstrosity, would give
up the ghost in disgust.
The only thing we cannot under
stand is how he keeps it in place with
out drawing the rest Of his face all ont
Of shape.

HOG CHOLERA AND BLACK LEG
Precautionary Measures Should Be
Taken to Prevent Spread

Some cases Of black leg have been
reported in the western part Of the
county.
Certain farmers living in the east
ern section have lost several hogs due
to cholera. One man reports that he
lost twelve animals Sunday night.
All farmers having this disease
among their hogs should have their
premises quarantined and neighbour
should refrain from visiting the hog
lots. The safest thing after al is
prevention. It should be remembered
that the double treatment may now
be given in this state by a qualified
veterinarian, on places where there
10 actual cholera and on places within
five miles Of any cholera outbreak.
The law says that all dead animals
should be properly disposed Of and
cholera infected animals properly con-
fined. II you have sick animals the
earlier you call a qualified veterinar.
ian the better of you will be.
The disease is incurable. The only
safeguard is vaccination or prevention
Of infection.
Proper precautionary measures ia.
ken at the right time will in time re-
suit in the eradication Of the disease.
Farmers cannot afford to sit idly by
and see their hogs die of by the score
when little care and forethought
will stamp out the infection.
North Dakota farmers have plenty
Of unavoidable troubles to contend
with and they would be foolish to add
more to their burden than is absolute.
ly necessary. An ounce Of prevention
is worth pound Of cure, and this
axiom holds good in cholera and black
leg as we'll as in anything else.

FACTS ABOUT CURRENT ISSUE
Times Carries More Advertising than
Any Paper IN District

While this weeks issue Of the Times
may not bs anything very wonderful
from many angles, still we cannot re-
sist the temptation to point out q few
Of the reasons why we are glad to be
at the helm Of, this Newspaper.
This week we are carrying more
advertising than any other paper in
this section, and we verify believe
more than any other so-called coun-
try publication in North Dakota. A
careful measurement reveals the as
tonishing fact that there are $40
inches of display, which does not in
clude business cards, pay locals or
miscellaneous advertisinG.
This IL not due to any excess Of
ability on our part, but we choose to
believe Il 10 made possible because To-
cal farmers and business men believe
in the selling force Of the Times COL
umns.
Advertising pays the merchant and
farmer just in proportion that the
subscribers read the paper. Some peo-
pie choose to believe that the portion
Of newspaper devoted to advertise
ments ID, 80 much waste space. In this
they are mistaken. Advertising is
news just AZ well as the articles re-
counting the activities Of our people.
Farmers and townspeople, women az
well as men, will find it decidedly to
their advantage to scan the ads as
well % the strictly local matter. Peo-
