I What influence the Commercial Club
of Omaha and its friends have with' the
six members offiie"'Housealhd Wo sen
ators from Nebraska w»4 {thrown
against any reduction in the present tar
iff oft wool, wJien the organization
voted-wmftiimoualy this wcck-to-oppose
in every way |toasible.ai^-indve to tam
Iper with, the schedujes tiap.Rlying.ibn
wool.
As the club has a membership of
1,000 representatives of the largest busi^
ness interests of Nebraska, the action harness at $30
means that the Nebraska representatives
in congress will be among the first to
take a firm stand for the wool growers.
'Arguments^ presentedby the 'Ne
braska organization are that tlte woo)
grbwitjg industry has been fostered
the'iv^st, where it should be'develqped
andr encouraged,'because of a Just 'arid*
adequate taififf that as a result the
percentage*' of shearing sheep west of
the Missfssippi river has been increased
from 26 per cent, in 1870 to 72 per cent,
in 1907, and the fisrufes lor 1908 show
that 67" per cent, of the shearing: sheep
of the United States are now iv^st of
the Missouri Ti*«r.
It is the duty of every western con
gressman, according to the Omaha
view of, the situationK to stand firmly
for the maintenance of the present
schedules on wool and when the subject
comes up, as it is anticipated it will,
before the special session in congress
promised by the new Republican admin^
instratBlf'Honbfless many'Sffier^organ-c

Although fruit may be grown success
fully, and cheaper than it can be
bought with only the moisture resulting
from rains and snows, anywhere you
may put your foot in North Dakota,
providing the ground is properly pre
pared. Keeping the garden perfectly
free from all other vegetation and se~
yerely pruning -in July} The necessary
moisture may be absorbed and retained
by very deep cultivation. How to grow
fruit successfully everywhere in North
Dakota will be explained in some-future

Everybody knows that* in our clear
atmosphere and bright sunshine, under
irrigation and cultivation, almost any
thing can be grown everywhere in
North,Pakota.
Most of pur farmers, have windjnsHls,
with which they could: irrigate a small
fruit garden" .They would be surprised

out the most natural location for a fruif
garden. Not more than one per cent,
of the area of North Dakota would pro
duce fruit with the .or^naryj^e^and
cultivation given successful fruit gar
dens in the rainy districts of the east
and south. ..Most of the farmers in the
northwest fear Winter killing. With suf4

and thorough cultivation, we would not

But though, strictly and historically,
quarto, octavo, etc., have reference
solely to the manner of folding the
sheet, they are, as a matter of com
mon practice, used to specify the slses
of books.
If the sheets on which books are
printed were of uniform size a quarto
page would be as unvarying an area
as a square foot or an acre, and be
fore the invention of machines for
making paper there was such, uni
formity to be found in the sizes pf
sheets.
But when paper making machines
were introduced and the use of molds
was abandoned sheets came to be
made of all dimensions. As a result
quartos and'octavos bad all sorts of
dimensions, and the terms, when used
strictly to indicate how the sheet was
folded, became worthless as designa
tions of size. The use of the old
terms was nevertheless not abandon
ed, but instead tbey were first used
to-indicate a rather wide range^ of
sizes and finally were! attacned'to cert
tiain more definite sizes, withojit refer?
eflce to the method of folding/
"The practice of the publisher^lo*^
adays is first to determine what sise
..of page he wants. The sheet be uses*
96.96TWU1 be larg~ or small, according.to tiw?
capacity of the press at his disposal
On that sheet he may print, say, eight
octavo pages, or he may. print thirty
two, but he will call the book an oc
tavo, though by its -folding it should
be called either a quarto or a 16mo.
In other^wprds, the publisher calls
his book by* the name of that one of
the old sizes to which it happens to
come nearest.
The confusion resulting from the
changes noticed here has not passed
away yet, but efforts have been made
to give definiteness to the old words.—

Whistling on Sabbath In Scotland.
Concerning the Scottish reprobation
of whistling on the Sabbath Dean

That English Complexion.
The complexions of the English have
often been exploited for our benefit.
The damp climate and the exercise
out of doors produce the red, they say.
But on examination it proves to be
not the red of the rose, but the red of
raw beef, and often streaky and fibrous
at that. The features are large and
the face high colored, but it is not a
delicate pink. It is a coarse red. At a
distance the effect is charming, bright,
refreshing, but close to often rather
unpleasant. Here the features of the
women, even the features of the beau
tiful women, are'. molded, while the
features of our beautiful American
women are chiseled.—Scrlbner's.

"What makes, your hair snap so?'

the child after a few moments of

might make an electric motor, mightn't

almost, If not quite, lost their original
meaning. At first they bad reference
©ply to Jb.e number of leaves intq
which the sheets used in making the
book were folded. Thus if these
sheets were folded once the book was
tailed a folio if the sheets were fold
ed iBtlce, so .as to iornT four leavjw,
the book was called a quarto^ If they
were folded four times, so as to form
eight leaves, the book was called an
octavo, and.w on.
The duodecimo, or 12mo, is an ir
regular size. To make it the sheet
must be folded so as to form twelve
leaves. Fold one-third pf the width
of a sheet lengthwise on itself. Next
fold the paper across its breadth in
the center. Next fold the sheet across

fAT YOUR FAVORITE FOOD WITH,
ouTfsyiiMiM^. $ if
If your meals don't tempryou and
you feel bloated after afting and
you believe it Is the food which fills
ir
what you eat lies like a lump
of lead in your stomach if there is
difficulty in breathing after "eating
or eructions of sour food and heart
burn, brash or belching of gas, you
can make up your mind that you
need something for a sour stomach
and indigestion.
To make every drop of food you
eat aid in the nourishment and the
strength of your body, you must
rid your stomach of poisonous, ex
cessive acid and stomach gas which
fours your entire meal—interferes
pretty much everything they asked
sufferers of indigestion, headache,
nauseous breath and stomach trou
bles of all kinds, petrifying the in
testines and digestive canal, causing
puch misery as bllliousness, constipa
tion, griping, etc. Your case Is no
different—you are a stomach suffer
er, though you may call it by some
other name your real and only
trouble is that, which you eat does
not digest but quickly ferments and
sours, producing almost any un
healthy condition.
A case of Pape's Diapepsin will
cost you fifty cents at any pharma
cy here, and will convince any stom
ach sufferer five minutes after
taking a Triangule that fermentation
and sour stomach is causing the
miseries of indigestion,
No matter if you call your trou
ble catarrh of the stomach, nervous
nees or gastritis, or by any other
name, always remember that a cer
tain cure is waiting for you at your
pharmacist any time you decide to
begin its use.
Pape's Diapepsin will purify the
sourest and most acid stomach with

ly, without any fuss or discomfort,
all of any kind of food you could
eat.

Sinaloa River Colony, 75,000 Acres
Fronting the (julf of California
California astonished the world with its gold of 49 and has attained anagricultural develop
Tnent in recent years surpassing the dreams of all past ages.
SINALOA, THE NEW CALIFORNIA, IN THE REPUBLIC OF MEXICO
with its immensely superior advantages, has come under the dominion of the same militant genius
that made Los Angeles the metropolis of the happiest and most prosperous people on earth, and
will be transformed into one of the garden spots of the earth in a few years.
W E HAV E TWO TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILWAY SYSTEMS—SOUTHERN
PACIFIC KANSAS CITY, MEXICO & ORIENT—and another coming.
Twelve Pacific Ocean ports which open all the world's markets on low rates.
Twelve big rivers to distribute over five million acres of land.
We have enough good level land to support a city bigger than Los Angeles.
WHO OUGHT TO COME
Following our universal practice in colonizing new tracts, we advise no one to locate thereon
unless they have from $1,000 to $t.500 in American money. With this amount, a living can be
obtained until products from the soil reach maturity. We advise colonization by sugar-cane
planters, corn growers, orchardists and general farmers, also carpenters, masons, woodworkers,
and all classes of skilled labor. To those whom the rigorous northern climate renders suscepti
ble to dangerous illness, we advise Sinaloa as equal to the most renowned health resorts on the
Mediterranean. To those who sjart with the amount of money named, success is assured, and
no one need feel doubtful of the result. Improved land under irrigation is now setting near this
tract at $75 to $100 gold per acre, and will reach double this price within a year. The Interna
tional Colonizing Company is offering its land to the first 100 settlers in 40 to 80 acre tracts at
$10 gold per acre. This price will be advanced as each successive Hock is sold, until the ultimate
•price will not be less than $50 per acre. Remember, this land is absolutely level, first class form
land, of deep black loam, 30 to 40 feet deep, with abundance of water, and such land is now worth
in Southern California from $100 to $400 per acre. COMMISSIONS TO AGENTS, 25 per cent.
