It is fed and operated the same as a Hard cval Base Burner and has an extra deep fiie-pot, together with a large open mouth magazine, so that it will hold three heds of Ugrite coal at one filling The fire travels downward and around the base of the stove, insuring v\arm floors which means warm rooms Perfect combustion of fuel is obtfired by the admission of airin and around the top of the fire Low],mixing with the gas that is being extracted from the coal and causing it to burn, making a steady heat instead of allowing the gas to be smoked out of the chimney thereby waisting 4 per nt of the fuel. Just think of saving 40 per cent of every ton of Lignite coal which would other wise be wasted in ordinary Oak and st'aipht direct draft fctoves. We have one of these stoves in opera tion in our store and would like to have you inspect it, whether you are in need of a stove or not. It is beautifully trimmed and orna mented, making it suitable for the finest home and giving you the same satisfac tion as a 6~ 00 or 70 00 hard coal Base Burner. The cost of operating this stove is on ly two-thirds of what it would cost to operate a Hard "oal Burner. If vou intend buying be sure and see this wonderful Stove before you make your selection. We will guarantee thai it will heat more cubic feet of space hotter and quicker and with less fuel than any Stove on the Market, STRINGTOWN. L. Eora and lady called on Gua An derson's Sunday.

John flelset, a north prairie fanner, paid us a visit Tuesday. Mr. Helset is of the opinion that the average farmer in this section of the state, is just learning how to make the farm pay. He has cut out a good deal of wheat raising and is now growing corn arul fall rye. He has 30 acres of the latter that looks first class. He says that had he raised more forn find sown more fall rye a year ago, he would not have minded the crop shortage much. As it is he is getting along well. He has several good milch cows, and will get more, raises two or three coHs each year, so does not feel like complaining. He has paid his compliments to North Dakota in times past, but is just awakening to the fact that he himself haa been t" blame. We are going to watch John's smoke NINE MILES OF SIDE TRACK.
