Chapt. 14-The Modern Mazeppa

Sharpe is tied to a pile driver by
the gangsters after they capture him
once more. Operated by a donkey en-
CINE a half mile away and due to a
hill between, the engineer is unable to
see Sharpe. The gangsters get away
and one of them, from a distance be-
fore he fees gives the signal to the
engineer to drop the ton weight driv-
er. It starts to descend and Sharpe,
fearing what will be a horrible death,
struggles hard but in vain, to get free.
Just as the piledriver is descending
and coming carer and nearer to him,
Sharpe spies a girl, with her hair
straming and mounted on a bicycle,
speeding toward him. He manages to
shout, but she has already seen him.
Seeing that she will not reach him in
time to cut him loose, Anne, for that
is who it was, waves a signal to the
engineer and he stops the .plunging
weight just in time. ~
Sharpe is rescued and when he ices
who has been his rescuer, he is deep
ly puzzled. He lets Anne go however.

SAVED HIS SONS
LIFE, HE SUAIES
JOSEPH LITCH PRAISES TANLAC
FOR BRINGING HEALTH TO
HIS BOY BOBBY"

According to the testimony of the
multiplied thousands who have used
it, there is nothing more ~invigorating
than Tanlac to persons suffering from
the after effects of influenza, lagrippe
typhoid, pneumonia, operations, bron-
chial troubles, or who are in a run
down condition from any cause.
Another striking instance in n
ton with this fact is evidenced by
the statement Of Joseph Litch, 4O43
Emerson Street, M~inneaolis, Mimi, re-
garding the results of Tanlac in the
case Of his young son Robert, who
seemed unable to recover his strength,
following a severe attack of pneumo-
mia, until he began taking the Master
| Medicine.
"On November fourth" said Mr..
Litch, Bobby was taken with meas
les, later pneumonia set in, a special
nurse vas in constant attendance and
I was told that my son had only a
fighting chance of getting well. The
whole family had given up hopes Of
his recovery, as his vitality seemed
almost entirely gone and nothing did
him any good. ..
"After lingering for sometime with
no sign Of returning strength, my
wife, who had been keeping up with
the testimonials being published for
Tanlac, suggested that we try that
medicine. This idea was strongly op-
posed, but, we began anyway giving
Bobby Tanlac. At the time he started
on it he could take no food and could
drink nothing except water. The &C.
ond day after the use of Tanlac was
begun he asked for some beef broth.
His appetite gradually increased and
on Christmas day he was able to get
out for a little walk. Well, after the
holiday vacation he started to school
again and is filling out and is build
ing up right along. I am glad to rec
ommend Tanlac because I honestly be-
lieve that it saved my sons life, and
neither my wife, no myself will ever
stop praising it."
Tanlac is sold in Bottineau by S.
%sigurdson and by leading druggists
everywhere.

MOTHERS DAY MAY 9th 1920.

A Mothers Day program was held
at the Bottineua Lutheran Church on
Sunday May 8, under the auspices of
the Lutheran Ladies Aid of Bottineau.
The program consisted of several good
speeches, prayers, songs and piano
solos. A large audience was present
which shows that a great number of
people observe this day which has
been set aside to show our lone and
respect to our mothers. A carnation
was presented to each individual as
he entered the church.

credit for the way in which she con

The high school orchestra and Glee

training and hard work IN the part
of students and conductors vas very
apparent. Everyone who heard the
girls concert is confident that the
Glee Club will bring back honors.
Friday, Arbor Day, vas cleanup
for the High School students. The
grounds surrounding the building are
free from paper and thistles as a
result of the students industry.
Mr.. Aamodt, who has charge of
the boys and girls clubs in Bottineau
County talked to the high school stu
dents on the value of these clubs.
Thirty-three students joined the clubs
and will raise corn, potatoes or poul-
try.

sci, director and Mr.. Book, accompan-
list, left this morning for Grand Forks.

Of all the disgusting tactics of the
enemies of the farmer administration
of. North Dakota lone is more revolt
ing than the attempt to exploit the
murder of the Turtle Lake farmer and
his family. Governor Frazier obtained
the services of one of the best detec-
tives in the Northwest and has spared
no effort to track the murderers. He
did not proclaim to the world all that
he was doing sc his political oppon-
ents by nasty insinuations and open
charges gave the uniformed to under
stand that the state was n~eglecting
the case. After the governor had an
nounced reward Of $1,000 for the
capture of the murderers of the Wolf
family the Fargo organ of big bust
ness. printed. a letter purporting to
come from "a citizen" who was too
cowardly to sign his name. Here is an
extract: "About 10 days have passd
since the Wolf family were murdered
and so far our TAKE-IT-FROM-
TOWNLEY Governor has not seen fit
to offer a reward so as the guilty one
might be apprehended. This is surely
a fine example for a governor Of this
great state of North Dakota to show
that he is a friend of the farmer when
he will not offer a reward for the ar
rest Of the murderers of this farmers
family. Can it be possible that he will

trava8ant speculation following the

vaiiee In cotton prices in 1918. which
carried the product to . point 900 per
cent higher than the normal, says a
statement regarding the crisis in the
cotton industry issued by the Egyptian
government. The present worldwide
check in expenditures, it says, has
arrested speculation and compelled
the owners of cotton to enter the
market.
'aThe United States" 1t continues,
which last year bought one-third Of
the Egyptian crop, is now taking only
a very Insignificant quantity. This
is exercising a very depressing effect
upon prices. Emphasis should be
laid on the fact that the causes of
the fall in quotations are economic
and worldwide, and therefore outside
the spirit Of influence Of the pro-
ducing country. Present prices still
leave a substantial profit for the Gull

FEW EXCEPTIONS

Factors to Encourage Bears.
BY STU ART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, November 2S.-As
business began on the stock exchange
this morning sentiment was very
much confused. There was, on the
other hand, considerable comfort to be
derived from the weekly bank state
ments, which showed that, despite the
strain of government operations and
other corporations to meet interest and
dividend requirements in the closing
month of the year. the position was
improved very decidedly In the New
York district. and no less surely. al
though not as much as the country
on the whole.
But over Sunday also came a fresh
batch of failure reports, with particu-
lar emphasis upon the closing down
of small banks in North Dakota as
the direct result of the tremendous
fall in wheat.
1t was altogether fair but a
pretty hard test of the extent to
which the security market at it's pres
ent price level has hardened itself to
unpleasant news from the Industrial
centers and from the farming regions.
In the stock list there was no ques-
ton at any time Of the better tone
Ia most quarters.
There were some further points of
weakness, as was to be expected, but
these were not as numerous or as
conspicuO as they have been in the
recent past and they were more than
matched by points of strength.
Some fresh short selling came into
the coppers on the announcement that
the Greene Cananea in. Mexico were
going to close down completely while
the Anaconda was laying off men.
There were one or two half-hearted
attempts to drive down some Of the
shipping stocks and Virginia Chemi-
cal broke again on the news that u
new issue of debenture bonds to the
extent Of $12,500,00O was shortly to
be put out.
General List Held Well.
> But with these exceptions, none Of
them Important. the market showed
no recurrence of the selling pressure
which had struck it down the week
before last and kept 1t unsettled ell
through last week. The outstanding
short interest was still heavy and
when stocks did not come out COM
menced to manifest uneasiness.
1t may have been said that the sharp
rally which later set in in the motor
stocks, in Mexican petroleum.. pan
American and other oils. in Atlantic
Gulf and in some of the Steel shares
was due entirely to short covering.
But the essential thing was the
change in the market situation which
had rendered operations for the decline
no longer profitable. and was inducing
many traders on the short side to take
in their contracts. This change had
come about without any Improvement
in the outside business situation, but,
on the contrary. reports of fail
ures, of the shutting down of plants
and mills, Of the increase in unem-
ployment were more numerous than
ever.
