PRUNE r BUSHES

Prune the currant bushes. While
%currants are hardy everywhere many
people fail to get a crop. A. F. Yea
ger, Horticultural at the N. D. Agri-
cultural College states that two
things may cause this. If no fertiliza-
ton and no cultivation is given the
fruit ought not to be expected. Too
much old wood in the bush will re-
suit in its being too thick with a con-
sequent lack of fruit even tho bloom
may be plentiful. No currant bush
ought to have more than nine or ZEN
canes, of these three should be one
year old, three two years old and
three 3 years old. Each year the
Oldest are removed and three new
sprouts allowed to take their place.
II this is done fruit can be expected,

BASE BALL WINS
BY 1000 MAJORITY

Complete unofficial returns from
all except six counties of the state
gave the measures Initiated to lift :he
restrictions IN admission charges for
Sunday base ball games a majority of
2,O73 out of 1886. The vote on the
other three initiated measures were:
Licensed sale of cigarettes
1879 yes. 2O,304 no.
Sunday theatres-17,617 yes,
2o.4s2 no
Boxing commission-17,066 yes,
20,361 no.
The highest vote cast was 32,381,
which was registered on the cigaret
measure. In comparison with the
total vote Of 110, 1000 cast at the ref
erendum election last June it be-
comes apparent that little more than
one-third of the electors of the state
exercised their franchise on March
16.

TWO SPOTS

The rural constituent who gets
free seeds from his congressman, US.
ually feels that the latter is spending
more time on electioneerng than on
the work for which he was chosen.
Farmers Clubs don't usually elect
any woman officers, but those cho.
sen ask their wives what they would
better do.
Among those who complain of the
great loss suffered when their boys
went of to the cities, are the people
who couldn't afford a single musical
instrument or other facilities for
making home pleasant. .

RIGHT YOU ARE

Those Copenhagen police

flags. -Courier-News.
Rigth you are, dearie! How did
you guess t? They were real, Amer
leans, l. v. A. trained horses. They
were used to seeing the Red, White
and Blue of the Great Republic and
could not for the life of them under
stand the display of red rags common
at bull fights and Russian massacres.
They wer intelligent American
horses that showed other brutes, who
used to be human and used to feel
proud of the Flag Of Freedom, 1.-THE
Starry Flower of Liberty" These
horses are to be congratulated. They
are on the up grade while some other
creatures, that have the bad taste to
exalt the red rag and what it stands
for, are e%voluting back to the brutes.
All honor both the I. V. A. trained
American horse and the 1. V. A.
trained American citizen, that shy al
the red rag of misery and murder
and double shame to the un-Ameri.
can carpetbaggers and parasites that
directly and indirectly jeer at the
great flag that protects even their
worthless lives, while they sit around
in Uncle Sans yard and make faces

AND
COMMON SENSE

The following editorial was taken
from the Fargo Forum of Monday,
April goth, and as will be noted, con-
Germs the nationwide fad of all pro-
fessonal and business men, rs we'll as
all the rest wearing overalls
for work days and v 9 other occa-
sions. Many people have asked us:
"What's the matter with Hope; why
don't they take to wearing overalls
like the rest of the towns and waken
up?" After such questions we have
made it a point to e many of the
different business men, and what
they have to say is very much the
same as the contents of the clipping,
which follows:
1.-THE Overalls Clubs
1T isn't necessary to organize an
"overall club in order to economic
on clothes.
I'm fact the formation of an ''ov-
erall club" may defeat the very pur-
pose which it was organized to pro-
mote. II overall clubs are to become
numerous, there will be created an
unusual demand for overalls that
probably will send the price soaring,
much to the hardship of those who
are compelled to wear them because
of the nature of their daily work.
Then the men who organize the ov-
erall clubs will probably tire Of the
novelty after a few days, or weeks at
the outside. and return to their regu-
lar clothes, long before the ~overalls
are worn out.e
ut is a rather typical american"
method Of practicing thrift. 1t has
to be a spectacular to appeal. Why
not the old clothes a few weeks
longer than usual, instead of joining
an overall club to bring down the
cost of living?
"Or if you do take to ~overalls,
stay with them until they are worn
out or you will be helping to raise
prices instead of lower them"

Have you shot rabbit? No, but
] would like to.
The world looked cold and dark to
the Seville folks who were depending
on gas for heat and lights last Friday
afternoon and evening. AS the cold
increased the gas seemed to decrease,
but the gas company got busy on Sat,
urday morning and put on big gang
of men and finished laying the three
inch pipe which had been contracted
for when the company raised the
price Of gas. Now there is plenty
and nothing to kick about but the
price. That's plenty. N Il
Allen McCabe and daughter and
family moved to the country last
Thursday, onto the farm they re-
Gently purchased.
At social gathering last Friday
evening the guests were complaining
about the gas-how they had to
light their lanterns and tallow dips
h,see to eat their supper. The host
'ees, who had just had her house wired
for electric lights, and which was
brilliantly lighted, said: "You shoulG
have electric lights and you would moi
have any trouble" The gang hai
just started with their work when tx
the utter astonishment of the hostess
the lights went out. Who laughs

vised Of the opinion of Judge Conner
IN the Dolin Mandamous Case, A. A.

sued these illegal warrants, which
were presented Immediately to Rex
Movius, County Treasurer, and he at
once paid them. =, .*.-:.,
County Clerk Major had, since the
middle of last week.: whei, Messrs,
iimiaons and Matkins allowed these
'airns illcr''lv over the head of the

jected to all sorts of intimidations and
plecsure by Mr.. Lockwood, and sever
al others who are probably in on q
cut in the classification graft and
needed the money. Mr.: Major had
been constantly in secret conference,
behind closed doors, with the board Of
county commissioners, and with Mr..

ed and cajolled him, threatened him
with all s0.t of legal torture if he
did not issue the illegal warrants, and
yesterday, Thursday noon, he sue
cumb to the threats or Establishments
of Mr.. Lockwood, and signed the war
rants which were Immediately cashed
by County Treasurer Movius, who
from all appearance was in on the
deal to illegally pay these warrants.
Major, who for some time has been

trary to law, according to the decision
recently handed down by Judge Com

Dolin sought to compel Clerk & Re-

county auditor had disapproved, the
county commissioners, or Messrs.
Matkins and Timmons, absolutely ig-

that there was no question but that
the congress marks the turning point
