TINES ARE PRETTY GOOD

Where do we get all this noise about
times being bad? Times are not bad;
they are pretty good when you think
of it in a normal way. Business is
bad only when measured by the alb
normal standard which existed during
the war time boom. but not according
to any standard which existed prior
/ to 1915. Business has seemed worse
than it actually has been because of
the contrast. the comparison with war
time reckless extravaganza. The trou-
BILE with most of US is that we are not
built for retrcnchment. There are
said to be five millions out of employ
ment, and doubtless there are, but
nevertheless we don't hear of bread
lines and soup houses and poor farm
doing any special business, nor of any
want, hunger or privation. On Labor
Day the railroads could hardly handle
the traffic and millions of autos were
skipping gaily along. All pleasure
resorts were crowded, restaurants,
hotels and movie picture houses
swamped.
The National Cash Register Com
pany reports record sales of it's out
put. Well how comes it? Why are
more cash registers being made than
ever before? People want them to
put money in don't they? And if the
money was not coming in over the
counters they wouldn't have it to put
into the cash registers. And if the
people were not spending it it would
not be pouring over the counters.
They must have it to spend or they
couldn't be spending it. The fact is
the horney-handed sardine saved up
more kale during the high wage boom
than anybody gave him credit for,
and while he has not been toiling as
much as usual lately, he must have
had some cached out in tin can, old
sock Or savings bank. Also there are
fewer idle now than there was a
month ago. The Ford and Studebaker
factories are turning tory. and the
Franklin company has forged ahead
over Is per cent above 1914. They
must be selling the autos or they
wouldn't be turning them out at the
rate of one minute. And if they are
selling them the people are buying,
and if the people are buying autos by
The thousands they must have money,
and therefore are not hard up. The
fact is, times are fairly good.-Dex- |
,er Messenger.

NO ACORN

In Ohio they tell story of a man
who brought for entrance into a COL

whom he wished shorter course than
the regular one.
My boy can never take all that it."
ne said. HE wants to get through
quicker. Can you arrange it?"
"oh, yes" said the president. "He
can take short course; it all depends
on what you want to make of him.

takes hundred years. but He takes
only two months to make a SQUASH"

Lloyd Masteller, 1S-year-old son of
Frank Masteller, a Dogden furniture
dealer, was instantly killed at 2:15
o'clock Sunday morning mile and
a half east Of Velva on the Velva,
Voltaire road, when the big Case tour
ing car which he was driving without
lights, struck a two foot ditch at
sharp turn in the road. Masteller
was driving 80 or 40 miles an hour
and his companions warned him to
drive more slowly as he was without
lights, but he paid no attention to
their warning. The car was over
turned and che young man was caught
under it, the back of the rear seat
striking the back of his head, crush
ing out his brains.
The other young men, Arthur Bel
den, Gaylor Mcdowell, Hugh Swed-
lund, Neil Tillapaugh and Louis john
son were thrown clear of the car and
scarcely hurt at all. One of the boys
ran to Velva and summoned doctor.
Cook Robinson drove out to the scene
Of the accident and the body was
taken to Velva.
Young Masteller, who was teaching
school in McHenry county, took q
company Of girl friends to a dance
at Voltaire and there met some Of

REV. l.. G.. SEEMANN
NOW ENDORSES IT
Well known Minister Feels 1t Duty
TO Tell Others How Tanlac Re.
stored His Health.

1t is seldom indeed that men of
prominence, especially ministers OF
the Gospel, willingly express their IN
debtedness openly to proprietary
medicine. However, when medl-
cine obtains of that uniform purity
and efficiency that is shown by the
well known preparation Tanac, state
ments from our best citizens are to
be considered thoroughly commensur-
ate with the good that is actually be-
ing accomplished.
Rev. l.. c. Seemann, of the Evan
gelical Lutheran church, whose adj
dress is Fessenden, r. F. d. l, Wells
County, North Dakota, prominent not
only as a minister of the Gospel but
who is popular as a man and citizen
who has been true to his friends and
to every trust imposed in him, said
in speaking of his experience with
Tanlac:
81 had a bad form of stomach trou-
bic for three years and was much dis
couraged, as the treatments tried did
not help me. My appetite was poor
and the little ! ate gave me great
discomfort. My back hurt a good
deal, too, | was nervous and losing
vitality right along.
81 didn't get much help from Tan
lac at first, but, fortunately, I per-
sisted and the good results have been
far beyond my expectations. I eat
what please now and am neve,
troubled with Indigestion; l sleep bet
ter than l have in years and, in fact
feel quite like a different man than ]
did before taking this remarkable
| medicine. ! believe It is ny duty to
tell this experience Of mine, as know
there are many who are in need Of
just such a medicine as Tanac proved
itself to be in my case.' adv

as to it's condition at this time. In
Mort hDakota and Montana very lit
tie seeding has been done. Our re-
ports indicate that there will be a
normal acreage sown to wheat and
Durum in South Dakota, North Da-
kota reports there will be consider
able more Durum sown than in for
mer seasons. No scarcity of seed
wheat is reported with the exception
of one small district in North Da-
kota where, they had crop failure
last year.
Winter wheat in Montana is report
ed to be in excellent condition, but
the acreage is small compared with
previous years.
Although it is rather early to give
an opinion on fall rye, our reports
indicate the crop came thru the Win
ter in good condition. We have no
reports of winter killed rye up to
this time.
Very little interest is manifested in
flax and it is hard to determine what
the acreage will be. This will de.
pend great deal on what the con-
ditions are later in the spring. II
farmers do not get behind with thei,
work, no doubt, some new ground will
be broken for flax seeding.
Labor conditions are satisfactory
Plenty of farm help is available al
wages ranging from $35 to $45 pei
month and board. The demand
however, is not as great as in former
years, as farmers are cooperating
and exchanging work with theil
nefghbors. While this lessons tn
demand for extra help, it does mo-
materially cut down the acreage plant
ed to crops.
The season is from one week to ter
days earlier than usual and farmers
seem in no hurry to seed oats ant
barley. With good weather, the crops
have fi3e Start. .,:~.
Yours very truly,

CONDITIONS FAVORABLE IN
NORTH DAKOTA AND MONTANA

Seeding has been deloyed the past
week due to weather conditions.
Shows are reported in North Dakota
and Montana; snow and rain in South
Dakota and Minnesota. While the
top soil contains sufficient moisture
to start crop, this nsow and rain
will tend to make up for the lack Of
moisture during the fall and winter
months. This is especially true of
sections in North Dakota and Mon
tana where there was IN open winter
and very little snow or rain.
Wheat seeding is practically finish
ed in South Dakota and southern Min
nesota and some coarse grain have
been sown. Wheat sown during
February in sections Of South Da-
kota is coming thru the ground, but
not enough to warrant a statement

Six Cars Stolen in Minot in Two
Wooke

Six automobiles have been stolen
in Minot during the past two weeks,
the work most likely being done by
"high jackers".
A Cole Eight owned by two Mime
apolis men, was stolen from the re-
pair department at the Minot Auto
Co. Friday night. In order to get
the car out, the thieves had to move
several other cars. The Cole Eight
had yellow wheels and green body.
A Buick car owned by Lee H.
Piper, was stolen from in front of
the high school auditorium Friday
night, while Mrs. Piper was enjoying
the Albert Spalding concert. Mr..
Piper had gone to the Twin Cities on
business and Mrs. Piper took COM
pany of friends to the concert. An
attempt was made to steal the same
car from in front Of the Piper resi-
dence the Sunday night before, but
Mr.. Piper heard the men trying to
start the car and frightened them
away.
Francis j. Murphy whose Buick
was stolen from in front of the H. S.
Auditorium the night he was deliver
ing an address at the Nestos meeting,
has secured no trace Of the car. "While
I was trying to save the state, some
body stole my car" Mr.. Murphy re-
marked.
A Cadillac Eight and Studebaker
Six were recently stolen from the
Citizens garage.
Owners of Minot cars are ordering
new tangled locks which cost about
SIS each and which will make auto
stealing more difficult. The locks
are made a part of the transmission
and the car is placed in gear before
being locked. It is said that good
mechanic requires about four hours
to remove the lock.
A Chevrolet car owned by Harry
Holzer, barber, was stolen from the
rear Of the Troy Laundry building
Sunday night. This car was found
two days later.
