Rosicrucians Secret
Order of I4Hh Century

The Rosicrucians were a secret fra
ternity alleged to have been founded
during the latter part of the Four
teenth century by Christian Rosen-
kreuza, German mystic, who dwelt for
a time in India and Egypt, where he
acquired profound knowledge of the
occult arts.
The Rosicrucians, like the alchem-
lists, pretended to transmute metals, to
prolong life and to possess knowledge
Of what was occurring in distant
places. They first became known to
the world early in the Seventeenth
century, through the publication of
certain documents said TO have been
Issued by them; but according to many
authorities, their existence was ex-
tremely doubtful
The Rosicrucians were also called
the Brothers of the Rosy Cross, from
the notion that the name is derived
from "crux" (cross), and "rosa' (rose),
Brewer, however, says that the word
Rosicrucian comes from "ros" dew
and rosa" (rose). 'Dew was con-
sidered by the ancient chemists as the
most powerful solvent Of gold, and

What Are Pan Fish?

The term pan fish is many times
misinterpreted. Some seem to think
that this includes only an inferior sort
of species, and others that it is mere
ly term applicable to most any fish
which happens to be taken and which
is edible. The true pan fish is COM
posed of small but game jewellers Of
the singing waters of brooks, creeks
and rivers, and the shore lines of the
lakes. Bream (bluegill or sunfish),
rock bass, yellow perch, ringed perch
and the horny club, or dace, are all
part and parcel Of the parrish tribe.

Fastest Double-Star
Found by Astronomer

The densest md fastest double-star

Jordan, famous American astronomer.
The new star is composed Of two
stars. In rotating, the light from one
is stopped by the other every six
hours; that is. in six hours the stars
OF this doublet revolve around each
other so as to eclipse.
This pair of stars, or this star com
posed Of a pair, is three times denser
than our sun and each is about the
same size as the sun. The double-star
is so far distant from the earth that

URGE MEASURE
TO GAIN FULL
WHEAT VALUE
Committee of Advertising
Clubs Propose Measures to
Establish Mill Value


Establishment Of milling value
for wheat, for the purpose of get.
ting full value for North Dakota s
superior wheat, is proposed by the
committee on advertising helps" OF
the Bismarck Advertising Club, in a
report to the club, made public to-
day as follows:
The Advertising Club of Bismarck.
Bismarck, N. D.
Gcntlcmen:
We. your committee on "Adver-
Using Helps, beg leave to make
the following report:
I'VE are cognizant of the fact that
the principle source of money sup
ply that we have comes from Agri-
culture. The more money which
comes from that source the more
will be spent with US. Why not
let US do everything that we can to
help realize the most money that
can be obtained from the products
of our soil?
Statistics will show that in ONE
year, considering the price paid our
farmers for wheat and the price that
we paid for flour, that the mills
made from q per cent on the top
grade of wheat to 100 per cent on
the lower grades. The authority
making the tests added that he did
not mean to say that Fl per cent
was enough profit for the miller,
but if it was there was too much
profit on the lower grades.
In the past thirty-six years in
North Dakota, the average crop has
been about SO000,0OO bushels of
wheat and 80 per cent of that mar
keted was under No. | leaving some
100000 bushels a year which has
been sold irrespective of milling
value.
Should we make an effort to have
milling value established and get
results? 1t seems that when No.
wheat is worth Sl.00 per bushel and
No. is worth ! per cent less in
milling value, that we should have
800 for our No. 2 wheat and SO on
down the line with other grades. If
this would get us only &c per bushel
more for our lower grades it would
mean $3,000,000 to the state yearly.
THIS IS OUR MONEY. First, for
the one who produces it and next
for the one who has merchandise
attractive enough for. the producer
to buy. 1t would also, mean the
producer would have $3,000,000 less
of money to borrow. gt~x
We hear of talks that might -,,in-
fluence people to believe that they
can get fixed price on wheat. How
can we do that? There are only
six wheat growing states in.--the
Union and forty-two others. They

BANDITS ROB

Bold Holdup Is Staged by
Youthful Bandits There

tccnth st. S, at . p. IN. Monday, OBJ
tanning between sos and $40 in cash
the days receipts and made
their getaway.
Taking every prccaution against
capture, before entering the store,
tho bandits cut the telephone wires
outside. They entered by rear
door, just as helper in the store
was counting the cash. f. j.
Thompson, proprietor, was attending
last nights Lutheran convention
session. That was not the first
time the days receipts had not been
removed before the hour of the
holdup.
Every light in the building, except
one by the cash register, had been
turned off. The bandits stealthily
approached the front of the store
the man in the lead levelling a gun
at the helper, commanding him to
put emup,' and to turn out the
one remaining light.
The bandits commands were at
once obeyed, and the pair then
worked in the dark, cleaning the
cash drawer.
Only meagre descriptions of the
men were given Fargo police, who
early yesterday morning, had made
no arrests. An estimate of the ban
dts ages was not made by the
holdup victim, except that they ap,
pcared to be youths.
