that fact is of no special benefit to or

sr There are said to be indications
that- the United States geological sur
vey will reinvestigate North Dakota
lands with a view of ascertaining their
adapability to extensive irrigation. It
is to be hoped that the. survey will take
this important step. Surveys taken
several years ago should be no criter
ion as to lands fit for irrigation pur
poses now. Many of those who have
investigated are of the opinion that
there are many thousands of acres of
land in western North Dakota that
might be made worth several times
their present value for agricultural
purposes by irrigation and it is con
fidently believed that it is practicable
to irrigate these lands furthermore
that it can be done much cheaper thaft
projects contemplated in other states

There was an anbriymmft contri

such a thought. He surely, has the true

V'CI,^charges of fraud!
Jamestown Capital: Several resi
dents in the western part of the county
are looking for an erstwhile land dealer
who is said to have gotten $900 cash
on a half section of land and to date
he has failed to show up either with a
deed or contract for the land. To an
other man he sold a quarter section for
$1,450 and agreed to take $1,150 worth
of cattle and the balance in a year's time.
He gave a contract for the land but the
purchaser investigated, thought the deal
looked crooked and when the stock was
called declined to give them up and the
contract, too. It is said a loaded shot
gun was very handy if the alleged
tract which he was very .desirous of
"looking at"'and wanted to take with
him.
POOR P. O. SERVICE.
Grand Forks Herald: It is believed
that Grand Forks is the largest and
most important city in the northwest
having a postoffice at which mail is not
distributed during the night hours.
Fargo, Jamestown and even smaller
cities have night clerks and mail may
be obtained at any time during the
night, the lobby being open at
hours'.
Unfortunately Grand Forks has a ft
important train arriving from St. Paul
at 8 o'clock in the evening. In order
to make mail connections from Chica-^Qtltr|iCt not ent
go at St. Paul this train is often late
and on such occasions, which have
almost daily of late, no mail is distribP
tttd fjrom that train until the following
moriiiijg.

..STREET STORIES..
A good story is told on a Fargo
minister who enjoys a joke even when
it is against himself.
When he occupied a pulpit in the
east he once addressed a large assem
bly of Sunday school children. -Anx
ious to get in touch with thd_ young
congregation he said:
"Now, is there any little boy or girl
who would like to ask me a question?"
When this offer had been repeated
more than once a little, shrill voice
from the centePof the room cried out:
"Please, sir, why did the angel's
walk up and down Jacob's ladder when
they had wings?"
The pastor's presence of mind did
not fail hint as he asked again in his
most diplomatic way:
"Now, is there any little boy or^irl
who would like to answer this little
girl's question?"
A young lady, very dentufti,' $rho
possesses that rare quality so many
lack, of thinking of the other fellow
first, recently told the following on
herself, much to the amusement of her
friends.
She went' into a big department store
one day to purchase a cloak. Several
were shown her and at last shet found
one that suited her fancy.
"How much is this one," she asked.
"Fifty dollars," said the young man
c)crk, quietly.
"Fifty dollars!" she echoed. "Why,
I wouldn't think of asking papa to
pay thot bill! I'm not worth it!"
"I think so," said the impertinent
clerk. "If you.will let me, I'll pay it."
There was a large family of little
children and the tired mother who
had been busy for days preparing for
Christmas sank into her chair for a
moment's rest. The little ones were
at play and she thought she would be
relieved of the thoughts of Santa for
at least a few minutes. But she was
doomed to disappointment. Presently
the chamber door opened and in rush
ed the little girl.
"Oh, mamma, we haven't as yet got
Neddie anything for Christmas and I
know he'll ,be expecting something
from us, as we play over to his house
every day."
"Oh, child, dear, let me rest. I am
thoroughly sick of Christmas and I
wish it was over."
This conversation took place in a
Northside Christian home, where the
children had been taught well their
bible lessons and the little one knew
her's and the significance of Christmas.
"Mamma," she said with a dejccted
look, "I guess you have forgotten
whose birthday it is that we celebrate
on Christmas Day."
And mamma looked up in surprise
at the remark, renewed her interest in
the festival and a* present for1* little
Neddie was decided on then and there.
"Speaking of clocks reminds me of
Christmas," said the shoe clerk.
"Or weddings," interjected his
friend.
"Well, yes," cautiously admitted the
Ittst speaker. ''But why?"
"My experience was this," began the
friend. "I married and friends were
kind enough to remember me with
seven clocks. I felt that I should
never want for time again, but I soon
found that I was as much pushed for it
with all those clocks as before. Then
I made the second mistake and sup
posed that after I got used to being
married that 1 would have no trouble
in reaching the store promptly, since I
had seven clocks to admonish and in
struct me.
t,
"But here again I was mistaken, for
my wife refused to allow them all to
run at once. She cut the number of
clocks in active service to three, and
these'three were always at variance, so
that 1 found a clock to suit each mood
of mine. If I thought I was early, one
of the clocks would be slow enough to
convince me that I was right, and so
for all feeling there was a clock. What
might have been the-case had all seven
clocks remained in action I cannot con
ceive. Nothing being gained by these
several clocks. I finally suggested to my
wife that she stop all but one of them.
This was done, and I have fallen again
into the habit of being fifteen minutes
late and blaming it jn that one clock,
just as I did before I was married. Put
not thy t^ust in clocks."

"The Waldorf Pharmacy'haf4fewi'tn

that there are very few remedies that
can be sold on a guarantee to refund
the money if they do not give satisfac
tion."
"They have sold so much Mi-o-na and
Seen such remarkable results following
its use that they welcome the chance
to convince any dbubter' of its merit, by
offering to give with each package of
Mi-o-na a written guarantee to refund
the money if it does not give an in
crease in weight, regulate the digestion
and restore health.
"If you cannot call at our store, send
us the price of Mi-o-na, 50c, by mail,
and we will forward you a regular size
box, postage paid, with the same agree
rnent to refund the money if it does
not give perfect satisfaction.".
Anyone who has been losing flesh,
or who has been too thin, should ti£e
Mi-o-na. Thinness and scrawniness
are signs that the food is not properly
assimilated and that you do not get
the nourishment from it that you
should. i
Mi-o-na mingles with the food you
e at, aids its assimilation, tones up and
strengthens the digestive organs and
.puts the whole system a proper
physical condition.
Remember that you risk nothing in
buying Mi-o-na. If it fails to give you
the desired effect, the cost is trifling.
If it fails, we will pay for the- remedy,
