McAdOo Strength Grows.
1t looks now as if the McAdoo
strength on the first ballots will be
larger than was anticipate Having

and cannot offer substitute.
The talk of dark horses also came
soon enough to help McAdoo. for the
merits and dement's of every demo

over by the delegates. Vice President

most popular with the convention
personnel, but the delegates to this
gathering are aware that they must
have a candidate who is popular with
the masses, too, if they don't want the

Three Cars in Collision

peculiar automobile accident Tuesday
evening. Mr.. Denning was travelling

of course, but just then Mr.. Fehring-

WE ADD FRANKLIN PRICE LIST
Times Office Finds New Book Abso-
lutely Indispensable

The Times was recently approached
by salesman who insisted that he
was offering a panacea for all the ills
which afflict printing office. OF
course we were trifle skeptical, but
nevertheless we showed one ear little
closer in order to pass nothing up.
To make long story short, he made
the sale.
The article in question was Frank
lin price list, and we are fast coming
to realize that the salesman's claims
were not SO very badly exaggerated,
after all. Any business man will
agree that it gives one comfortable
feeling to "know where he is at" The
man who really knows what he is do
ing is in an unassailable position at
all times-but, alas, too often one is
at sea about important points.
In the past making a price on any
job of printing has been largely a mat
ter of guesswork, no matter whether
figured in small office or in one of
the largest. 1t has been very hard to
determine just what the overhead ex-
t>SAAoS s$AAO0hSo W. anu SIllS OIIC
alone made it difficult to figure le-
gitimate profit and know how much
to charge in order to get it.
Hereafter it will be different, in the
Times Office, at least. Whenever a
customer asks for a price on a certain
piece of work we will turn to the pro-
per place in the price list and find the
answer-and we will know it is cor
rect, because it has been figured out
by expert minds. The list will be
kept right up to date at all times and
customers may now feel assured that
prices are given from foundation of
fact, and not guesswork.
Every other business has a price
on every article offered for sale-and
the customer pays it. Now that we
have a Franklin price list we're going
to live up to it, knowing that no figure
quoted will be too high-nor too low
and that the office and the customer
will both get a square deal.

Dust, the Industrial Criminal

It would be difficult to imagine any
thing more innocent in appearance
than this waste product which, in one
year, killed eighty persons and de-
stroyed $7,O00000 worth of food and
property in the United States, yet
such is the bill found by the United
States Department of Agriculture
against dust, just ordinary, common
place dust that flies from wheels and
cylinders and fans and settles all over
the factory.
Grain dust, starch dust, sugar dust,
leather dust and aluminium dust are
all explosives, and the Department Of
Agriculture suspects great many
other kinds. '
Grain dust is the worst enemy ap.
parently; the damage it causes every
year runs into millions. II that were
the only evil result it would not be 80
bad, but more sinister item is that
dust manages 10 kill many Americans
every year.

RED CROSS WORKER LECTURES
Miss Barrows Has Charge of Organ
iatiOn Work

Miss Alice Barrows, representing
the social service work of the Red
Cross, northern division, with head
quarters in Minneapolis, finished
speaking campaign in the county on
Sunday evening with an address at
the Methodist church in this city. She
was accompanied about the county by
Chairman Graham of the Dickey coun-
ty chapter and Mrs. A. C. Strand, who
has not lost her interest on behalf of
the young people of the county.
Rev. o. L. Anthony had charge of
the devotional services and introduced
Judge Graham, who told something Of
the work Of the Red Cross, what it
had done in war work, and what it
was now doing in times of peace. He
introduced the speaker of the even
ing, who is going about the district
On behalf Of the young folks, urging
b more healthy environment for them.
The northern division has permis-
s;ion from the national organization to
spend apart of the funds on hand for
purposes of furnishing county re-
" 81 ;s.;ve department to be in charge
Of a trained instructor. Miss Bar
rows has charge of the work of or
ganization in the northern division,
comprising the states of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana. She has met with excellent
success in Minnesota, so much so that
she has been called to parts of this
state to explain the work. She has
assurances that LaMoure county will
take hold of the work, and her cam
paign in this county has met with ex-
cellent results.
The department is intended to su-
pervise the young people in their re-
creation and sports and create a
healthful and invigorating atmosphere
for them. There is too muck laxity
now in handling the young people; the
problem is getting worse instead of
better. The plan is not to abandon
the things the young folks want and
like, but to make them wholesome.
The plan is to have this new de-
partment started with Red Cross
funds now lying in the treasury, and
to bring the matter before the county
authorities both for the new depart
ment and the re-appointment of a
county nurse by the county board.
For the purpose of getting the SEN
timent in this community meeting
of Oakes Chapter, American Red
Cross, is called to meet at the city
hall next Sunday afternoon at 300
o'clock, where the matter will be fur
ther discussed and an expression tax
en-. Everybody interested in the work
is asked to attend.
There is fund of $4,000 in the
county now that could be used for
the purpose.

NONE FOR SALE IN THE COUNTY
DR.. Worst Will Speak at Glendale or
Farm Bureau Day, Oct. 8
Inquiries like the following come
to the Office of the county

Inquiries like the following come
frequently to the office of the county
agent: IS
II wrote the commission house at
South st. Paul as to buying there, and
shipping to my farm, two carloads of
hogs to "hog off" my corn. They re-
piled that the hogs will have to be
dipped and also given double treat
ment for cholera. Do run any risk
of cholera by doing this and does said
treatment reduce the vitality Of the
hogs so treated? Do you know of
any hogs in Dickey county that can
be bought from men short on feed to
fatten them? ~
Mr.. Kuenning replied as follows:
Replying to your communication
I wish to say that I do not know of
any feeder hogs for sale in Dickey
county at this time. Feed corn Il
generally abundant this year and 9TH
er farmers are asking concerning the
purchase of hogs to be turned in the
corn fields. Last year there were a
lot of light hogs on the market, but
this year I think there are not SO
many, due to the greater abundance
of feed. Therefore, probably the best
place to get them would be from St.
Paul or the Equity Packing plant at
Fargo. If you get them from the
Equity packing plant it will not be
necessary to subject them to the dip
ping process nor the cholera treat
ment. However, you, should be care.
full in making such purchases because
some unscrupulous seller may be dis
posing of his hogs due to cholera in
fection. Therefore, even if you bought
from the Equity plant it might be
well to give them the single treat
ment at least, because there is always
a chance of their having been exposed
to cholera. You would have to bea,
the expense Of this treatment, which
probably would be 75c per hundred
pounds Of live weight. What the
charges are for Dipping ! do not know
