Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. ~ stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
Jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co, Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

SANB0RN WAGON
SCALES CORRECT

Sanborn, Barnes county. was the
only place, on the main line of the
Northern Pacific railroad through
North Dakota in which every city
wagon scale was found to weigh cor
rectly by the regulatory division, Ag-
ricultural College, according to Melvin
B. McGuigan, inspector OF the Welghts
and measures division.
While Sanborn has but one city
scales, in all other places on the line
which had but one scales, this set was
not properly adjusted. In the cities
where there were two. one OF these
did not weigh properly. Every city
scales in the state will be adjusted
before winter sets in.
In Fargo, where there are two
scales, one of these varied II pounds
on the thousand from the correct
weight, the variation being in favor
of the seller, or short. weight. The
other was correct. Jamestown, with
two scales, also had but one that gave
correct weight.
Casselton, Valley City, Bismarck
and Mandan, all on the transcontlnen-
tai line of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, have one city scales each. In
all these four cities the scales were
found to be incorrect by the inspector:
and local authorities had to have them
adjusted. Of all the wagon scales
covered by the departments report
both city and private, % per cent were
incorrect. About nine out OF ten OF
these incorrect ones were giving short
weight until tested and ordered cor
rected by the department.

FREAK CALF ON
LOUIS RlSAFARM

Many cars have been stopping at
the Louis Risa farm about seven miles
northwest Of the city the past few
days, the main attraction being a
freak calf. u.
OF all the freaks born around this
part of the country this calf wins the
prize. It is the first calf of young
heifer owned by Mr.. Risa and is the
kind most of US pay quarter at the
show grounds to gaze upon. It has
a double head. three eyes, ~one on each
side of the head and one in the center:
two tongues and a double throat. Mr..
Risa is contemplating on getting in
touch with some circus and making a
fortune with the freak.
p When asked what he would take for
the calf, Mr.. Risa answered.:
81 told my wife it was thousand
dollar calf and I haven't talked any
different yet" ...,55
Thi calf is the first one of it's kind
to be born around here and seems to
attract a great deal of attention on
the Risa farm, many of. the farmers
coming from mile around to see it.
We suggest that Mr.. Risa start SELL
ing tickets at his barn door and he
will soon accumulate a nice piece Of
money. .-.

COACH CE0TzL0E
BACK AGAIN

R. P. Geotzloe arrived in the city
recently to take up his duties at the
local high school for the coming year.
Mr.. Geotzloe taught physical educa-
tion in Wisconsin last year and has
been attending school at Madison:
Wis, this summer to gain a further
knowledge in the line Of athletics: Mr..
Geotzloe needs no introduction to the
people of Valley City, as he was the
man that brought the high school foot
ball team into the finals for state
champions, and did make state cham
pions out of the basket ball team. He
is the, kind of man that gets along
wherever he is and will be welcomed
back to our city. All that we ask of
you, Geotzloe, is that you win that
state championship from Fargo again
this winter, and as for the foot ball
team we know you will give us a
championship team.
The boys who are interested in ath-
letics at the high school are more
than pleased to have their old coach
back with them and will go into their
work with all the hope of holding up
their record of the past.

SEED CORN WEEK
IN NORTH DAKOTA

September 9Th to 10th will be seed
corn week in North Dakota. This is
probably the best corn year in the
history of North Dakota. At the pres
ent time large number of the Dent
varieties are fully matured. Cultivat-
ed crops in North Dakota rotations
will mean better wheat yields, conser-
walton of moisture, eradication Of
weeds, increased numbers Of livestock
and in general will be factor toward
greater prosperity in the state.
For a number Of years it has been
proven that home grown seed gives
best results. The reason why such
corn has not been more generally used
is the fact that it has not matured.
The selection Of acclimated seed will
mean early maturity. This year when
our corn crop is the best that it ever
has been it would be good plan to
select enough seed for at least two or
three years. This should be selected
rot later than September 10th as that
is the date of our first killing frost.
Matured ears of good size that have
good position on the stalk should be
selected. After going through the
field with gunny sack or wheel bar
row and selecting a supply Of ears it
should be put in well ventilated place
where air is allowed to circulate and
where the corn will properly cure.
You have an excellent opportunitv
at the present time to start in this
direction by selecting good n1atured
seed for next year.
The county agent will be glad to
give whatever assistance is necessary

ION that monthly market day can be

$tiate. Saturday afternoon two auc-
tioneers will be provided and what
