Some time ago he was arrested on a bonds were forfeited by the court, It is understood that he has reim- tiary on a charge of crimi-j? :v taken the woman back to his home A judgment, of about $1,800 has been virtually agreed upon against former County Auditor Irving, now in California. Prior to his departure he paid about. $500 to the county. Since then shortages on his fees have been discovered which made the additional amount mentioned. The commissioners are seeking to collect the fees allowed for the sale of hunting licenses in addition to other fees. This has never been attempted before, as the county au ditors are regarded as acting as agents of the game and fish board of control, and are paid 10 cents each for the sale of resident hunt ing licenses. Jean Ilreyer, who brought an action against his wife's parents charging alienation, lost his case. Early in the trial the action a gainst K. N. Myhre was dismissed by the court. The evidence against Mrs. Myhre was stronger, and the case went to the jury, which de cided in favor of the defendant.

Tie gave 11s an excellent address and brought out the strength of Lincoln in some phases heretofore little em phasized. Lincoln's acquaintance with both sides of the country, his clear vision of what would cause a permanent split and what that would mean to the nation and the American people kept him to tin logical course in handling the ex treme elements of both sides. Lin coln's logic and his addresses in prose poeins were considered as strong characteristics. The presen tation of Lincoln helped everyone who heard the address to a higher appreciation of Lincoln's life ami the meaning of his work. The or chestra was present and gave three selections and Carl Ulsaker read the Gettysburg address. JOHN BURKE THERE Big Democratic Banquet at IHinot A Gig Success.

IIow to get a "square deal" at the terminals how to receive more for what is grown on the farm, this, without increasing the price to the consumer, will be the theme of discussion and from this discus sion a. lesson of value to every grain grower should result. Farmers have been taught, and in fact, have learned how to in crease the yield of the farm. How ever. in learning the lesson they have also learned that a large ei-np grown very often brings a les cash return than from an average crop, (fumbling in options, graft methods in weighing and grading at the terminals, has more control over the price of grain than ''sup ply and demand."

A GRAND SUCCESS The opening of the Zenith the atre Monday night was a huge suc cess, both as to attendance and the character of the show.

The attendance Tuesday night Butter, dairy was good also. WELL SETTLES DOWN The artesian well on the U. E. Bergstrom farm near Cayuga has settled down after being on the rampage for five years. At times it was practically clogged up by sand. Later it would become un usually active, and could scarcely be controlled. At. other times it would throw out quantities of sand and be so muddy that it was unfit lor use. Recently, after an unus ually violent eruption, the water cleared up and the well is now giving the best service since it was sunk. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Hazel Van Amain plays this neck.

The plot failed. Lowell's Coinemoration Ode and especially part VI of that poem, has made quite a hit with the Am erican literature class, but Miss Fennel, the teacher of that subject, was completely captivated. Yea, to such an extent that she has re quested, nay, more demanded, that certain members of the class should rcite it to her after school. Sin does not. seem to tire of it in tin least.

SECRET ALL SHOULD KNOW You Must Interest People Mentally In Your Goods- Before They Will Buy Them. The Times wants just a plain little heart to heart and mouth to ear talk with Wahpeton's ad vertisers and all others who ought to advertise. It will cost .you all nothing to read this and it may do some of you good. \ou all, or nearly all, say you expect to advertise wiu-n spring comes, but the chances are that nost of you will keep 011 proera hutting until it is too late lo get the full benefit of your advertis ing, and some of you never will advertise. You are timid and faint heart never won anything worth while. Vou ought to advertise, and the best time to advertise is now. Did you ever stop to think that you must arouse interest, in your goods in the minds of the people before you can reach their pocket-books? Thought, precedes action, and be fore anybody comes to you to spend his money he has thought it over where he is going to buy. What inducements nave you to offer to him. or her, and how are you con vincing him that you have any in ducements to offer him? Practically every shopper knows just where she is going to do her shopping long before she leaves home. She studied that all out and fully made up her mind days, and perhaps weeks before hand, just as you had done before you went east for your last stock. You had been studying for weeks, perhaps for months, before your departure just, about what you were going to buy and where you were going to buy it. For that purpose you had been study ing the different wholesalers' stock and price quotations before-hand, just as those wiio think of buying at retail have a right and incline to do. and what are you dop.ig to help them decide before hand as I you did? No, you don't buy haphazard just, anything or anywie."v you happen to stumble and iieilher do your customers. Remember that practically even-body buys men tally before he buys actually, aud is apt to go where he is best posted —not on what they had am! their prices last year, but: this spring. You owe it to your customers if you wish to retain them or secure new ones to give them as much ad vance information as to what you have to offer them and your pri ces this spring as you can. There is no better way and ns? other as good and infective a way to do this «s through the local news paper, ft is high time to begin your selling story now. Make it just, as truthful and effective as you know how. Don't make it too short. List all the details, which all careful buyers want to know, ja.nd have a right, to know, and tell |a. part of it to them everv week. Tell, the whole story and hammer it home. Then bring your storv •*as you have written it to The Times, and hundred* of families 'will read it there and study it a round the fire side at home, and buy of you mentally weeks before they may be ready to come to town and buy of you actually. Above all, don't, wait till more than half the people have done a large part of their spring buying before you begin to advertise, and then lose a large share of the bene fit. Advrtise from a sense of duty, as well as for your own good, and advertise now—next week.
