like the ordinary place where one

Crawford, I reflected whimsically,
there could not be found such an
other collection Of prim, faded gen

less wheezy old gentlemen, trying
hard TO be gallant under the handi-
cap Of incipient asthma.
Nor could the question Of vulgar
payment for the tea and cakes have
been more ingeniously concealed by
the CranfOrdites than il was by the
patrons Of Betty Kane Evidently
each understood the price of the
food offered, for none asked, and l
think each peOrson has brought the
exact change concealed in a glove or
handkerchief. At any rate, 1 saw
no money transaction whatsoever.
But as each man or woman finished
tea, he or she approached Betty
Kane as one would take farewell Of
a gracious hostess at an afternoon
function and shook her hand.
was morally certain that with
each handshake there was left in her
palm the payment due for the tea
and cakes, and yet as far as my vi
sion was concerned, I could see no
such transfer& But after each hand

hand go unObtrUsively into a brightly
colored cretonne knitting bag which
hung upon her wheelchair and was
sure that it was in that receptacle

hibited, would make her little room

place Of a pretty home afternoon"
When the last guest saw that
she considered each customer that
had gone, she turned TO me with a
wistful smile curving the lips, that
must in her young girlhOOd have
been rarely beautiful.
Please don't think that I expect
strangers TO do that" she said, rec
ognizing with her intuitive courtesy
my unspoken query. But it pleases
my old friends TO pretend that / am
simply entertaining them the way
I would love to do if I could afford

me also"

earnestly. and was surprised and
touched to see the quick tears spring
to her dark eyes.
You're real and you're rare" she
said simply, but with an intonation
that made me feel as If I had receiv-

The next moment she had wiped
her eyes briskly. wheeled her chair

THREE BUlLDING NGSBGRN
in PlNGREE BLAZE
EARLY Y.TUESDAY

Three buildings were badly dam
aged by fire at Pingree early Tuesday
morning. They were the "Flat
House., which is an addition to the
Pingree elevator the Salzer Lumber
Company shed and the barn belong
ing to A. L.. Koltze adjoining. The
fire was discovered shortly after
midnight and had gained much head
way before the. e.firesdepartment could
start the fight to extinguish the
flames. The three buildings are To-
Gated along the Jamestown and Nor
thern track, on the east edge of Pin
gree, and as they are large structur-
es and as there was slight breeze
blowing from the east, stalking the
flames toward the rest of the town,
a call for help was sent in to James,
town.
Both Chief VIM. Zulhke of the
Jamestown Fire Department, and the

REDUCED GRAIN RATE
AFFECTS MILLIONS
OF BUSHELS IN N. D.

Fargo. Oct. 25.-According to pre-
dictiOns made by traffic experts in
this state North Dakota farmers will
save more than $l,00O,00O on re-
naming 1921 grain shipments, by
the reduction on freight rates of
wheat, hay and coarse grains announ-
ced by the interstate commerce COM
mission Saturday
The cut will mean reduction of
from three to six cents per hum
dred pounds from North Dakota
points to Minneapolis and Duluth
and an even greater saving to Chi
cago. The commissions order calls
for a cut on wheat rates Of one-half
of the raise allowed in August, 1920,
which amounted to: approximately
35 percent according to N. E. Will
liams, traffic expert of the Fargo
Commercial club. Rates on coarse
grains, oats, corn, barley rye and
millet are to be set 10 percent be-
low the wheat rates making cut of
nearly 27 percent. The order be-
comes effective as soon as practical
BILE and not later than Nov. 20.
While approximately go percent
of the North Dakota wheat crop has
been sold, there remains about 49,
100000 bushels which will be at
fected blythe reduction in the opin-
ion of Usher L. Burdick OF the North
Dakot branch of the U. S. Grain
Growers, Inc. II farmers can hold
their wheat until the order goes in
to effect this will mean saving
of nearly a million dollars on wheat
alone, it is said. 81.
Sixty million bushels of wheat
were raised, in North Dakota this
year. Mr.. sBurdick estimated. and of
this amount he estimates so percent
has been sold.
OF the approximately 24,00O,0OO
bushels still in the state, Mr.. Bur-
dick estimated that 11,OOO,00O bu-
shells will be used for seed, leaving a.
bout 100000 bushels to be af-
fected by the rate cut.
5S Save $1,OOO,OOO Z:
Bismarck, Oct. 25.-The saving to.
North Dakota shippers in decreased
freight rates on grain under the or
der OF the Interstate Commerce Com,
mission promulgated Saturday will
be $1,O0O,OOO in normal year, and
would amount to about 100000
this year, V. E. Smart, traffic expert
of the railroad commission, who re-
turned to the city today, said. ].
Mr.. Smart attended the meeting of
railroad commissioners in Atlanta,
Ca, and stopped in Washington to
confer with the Interstate Commerce
officials on rate matters and there
obtained an official copy Of the Or
der. 4t s
The order provides, he said, that
on or before November 20 the car
ries must file new tariffs upon grain,
hay and grain products reducing
them by one-half of the increase of
35 per cent made on August 26, 19-
20, except that the reduction is 10
percent less on wheat. Mr.. Smart
said that would be tantamount to
an actual reduction on the present
rate OF about 10 per cent on wheat
and about II per cent on other
grain.
The total saving in normal year
in North Dakota would be about ST.
100000, he said.
The case which resulted in the
rate was instituted by the
railroad commissions of the west. 1t
is estimated that the decrease In
rates in the entire western territory,
west Of the Mississippi river and in,
Illinois and Wisconsin a.
to $40,000.00O annually.

|preme court refused today to review
the conviction under Minnesota laws
Of A.. G. Townley, president Of the
National Nonpartisan League, and
Jos. Gilbert, manager OF its organ
ization department.
The refusal of the court to consid-
Ter the case was announced by JUS
tice Taft, who gave no explanation.
It was one Of numerous cases In
which the court today refused to
permit an appeal.
The indictment on, which Townley
and Gilbert were convicted charged
ment, urged that the government be

ing the bonds were not safe invest
ment because ''the United States
soon would be bankrupt"
Story of The Case

Townley, president of the National
Nonpartisan League and Joseph Gill
bert, former state organizer of the
league, must serve a sentence of
80 days in the Jackson county, Min
nesota, Jail stheir last avenue of
escape was closed by refusal of the
federal supreme court to review their
cases. e
Townley and Gilbert were convict-
ed in July 1919 Of conspiracy to 0A-
courage disloyalty during the war n
violation Of state law. The charge
against them was based on speeches
they made in behalf of the Nonparti-
san League in jackson and other
Minnesota Counties Their trial last

E. C. Dean, who heard the case. The
defendants then appealed to the su-,5
preme court, which denied their al-s
peal, and the case then was carried
to the highest court In the land.

Barron county, Wisconsin,, about
six miles northeast of st. Paul, is a

bouyancy Of youth, wonderful charm,
and great gift Of acting.
In "The Greater Claim" adapted
from the Izola Forester Mann Page
story, she has the part of Mary Smith,
the Follies beauty, who marries a
wealthy youth, only to find that his
father soon kidnaps him SO as to sep
arate them She furiously annuls
the marriage and proceeds to disgrace
the family name. Shady schemers
use her and her child to get hush
money. The climax comes with a big
vital situation, where mother love

NEW EXPERIMENT
STATION CIRCULARS

| Circular II, entitled Sugar Beef
Top Silage," deals with difficulties
that have been found by some farm
ers in safely feeding beet top silage
to live stock. The danger of incor-

ed out and suggestions are offered
looking toward an improved quality
of silage.
The winter steer feeding for 1920
1921 is reported in Circular 1S. The

ing stop laying in June when they
should be laying continuously to late
fall. Why? Many farm flocks arr
half-starved-not from lack of feed
but from lack of proper feeding
Poorly ventilated, close, dark houses
mites, lice, and disease all have their
part in producing the Gull. Too often
the cause of the Improbable hen is
overlooked.
A Gull is an Improbable hen. She
usually stops laying in June or early
July and only in rare cases starts
laying again until the next spring.
She is not missed at all as far as egg
production is concerned as it contin-
ues at the same amuont or increases
after her removal. When a hen stops
laying, she molts. The feathers drop
from the neck first and then the
back, breast and the primary wings.
The bird with the fine, bright, oily
plumage is very often the poorest
producer in the flock. The later the
hen molts, the higher producer she
is, as general rule. Do not sell the
dirty, ragged-looking late fall molter.
She is a good layer.
If the bird is of one of the breeds
having yellow skin and shanks, un-
less she has been good producer,
she will continue to be yellow around
these parts. The yellow pigment is
removed when the hen lays q large
number Of eggs; first, from the vent
then from the back, and finally from
the shanks. The best producers will
be pale in these parts. The yellow
pigment returns rapidly when the
hens stop laying, especially If they
are getting a great deal of yellow
corn or green feed. The sO-called
augmentation changes" do not apply
to the breeds such as the Orpingtons
or Langshans, which have no yellow
color in their shanks.
There are also other indications OF
poor production. Thick crooked pei I
vic bones and the lay bones in the,
abdomen, and coarse tight skin in |
he abdomen, especially when under
aid with hard fat, are some of them.
The culling Of a flock is compare
i've study. Pick up few hens from
he flock. You will find marked
Inference in them as to the above
POINTS. Select out those that appear
o be}culls and shut them up. If they
10 not give you any eggs, ship them
o market and save three to six
aonths feed and care.
