SIX months period January June re
ceived only IL cents per bushel more
than the farmers who sold shortly after
harvest. This IL cents would not come
anywhere near paying interest on
money, shrinkage in storage and insur-
ence.
In the past twenty years the North
Dakota farmer who marketed his wheat
in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS made more
money than the one who held his wheat
until spring"
The sale of futures against wheat
generally anticipates all storage, inter
est and carrying charges and those who
tell the farmer that the speoula tors
buy wheat when it is cheap in the fall
and hold it for rise and sell it when
it is expensive are very much mistaken.
Speculation anticipates all of these
things so that the price instead of al
ways being higher is often much lower.
az in the present instance.
Grain traders are divided into two
almost equal bodies who watch each
other like hawks. When the farmers
organizations learn to use this great
distributing machinery many of their
troubles will prove but imaginary.

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
GetDr. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is tire joyful cry of thousands
since Dr.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for II years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but healing, soothing
vegetable Laxative.
No gripping is the keynote of these
little ugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and hver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
Ifyou have dark brown mouth
bad breath-a dull. tired feeling
headache-torpid iver-constipstion,
you'll find quick, sure and pleasant re-
suits from one or two of Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.

FINDER certain circumstances it
would seem wise that farmers
store their grain for a better
price, but when it is considered that if
they take it to the elevator they win
have to pay storage, it is always a
question whether or not it will pay.
George Fl. Johnston, a banker of
Wales, n. D., investigated this matter
OF November and December wheat stor-
age by taking the average monthly
price Of cash wheat in Chicago for
ten-ye0@ period-le0l to 1910.
He found that the average price in
the six months July December was 92.4
and for the next six months, January
June, 93.5.
He also showed that the American
farmers market rs per cent of their
wheat in the six months period July
December, and % per cent in the re-
naming six months. North Dakota
growers market IS per cent in the pc
nod July-December and 25 per cent in
the remaining months.

GIRL DoNS WEDDING RING
 TO GET CHANCE AT GAMES

DEAUVILLE, France, Sept. 27- A young American girl about to enter the roulette room at the Casino was stopped recently by the uniformed Cerberus at the door and politely but firmly refused admit tance. ''Too young" ruled the brass buttoned official.
 Disappointed, she stood by for a few moments and noted a young French woman about her own age being bowed into the gambling room by the same lackey who had refused her admittance. A plain little gold band which the young French woman wore on the third finger of her left hand when shown to the doerkeeper had proved the open sesame.
 The young American girl called on a jeweler the next morning and, accompanied by her usual dancing partner, again appeared at the door of the Casino that evening and to the doorkeeper, again objecting, said: I'm married" displaying the wedding ring purchased that morn ing, She was admitted. "..
 We cant ask every woman to produce her marriage contract" the lackey explained h.
 The jewellers are wondering what is causing the unprecedented de- mand for wedding rings totally out of proportion with the notices of coming marriages posted at the Town Hall.
