At 1 o'clock todav fjyver A. Inge-bretsen, an aged jeweler and watch­maker, located at 214 North Broadway, was knocked down by a street car when crossing the street to his place, , of business at the lunch hour. For needless to say that they are proud several moments he lay helpless on

Today a draft for (59.30, the amount collected by the Sunday school chil­dren of Bethesda Swedish Lutheran church, was forwarded to the treasur­er of the Vasa Lutheran Ophans' Home, Vasa, Minn. The amount of the collection is the result of the indi­vidual efforts of the children and it

the tracks in front of the car before he was removed to the rear of the Kadery pool room. The Young ambu­lance removed him to his home, at 102 Eighth avenue south, Moorhead. What Injuries may have been sustained by the hccident are thought to be slight.

The car that struck the jeweler was No. 2 on the A. C. line and run by Motorman Jim Nelson, No. 44. From the account of Motorman Nelson, Mr. Ingebretson was seen standing talking to a teamster who had drawn up* near the middle of the street. Their con­versation apparently was ending Just as the car approached. Mr. Ingebret-sen is said to have turned around to cross the street to go to his shop and was struck by the car, although the motorman said that he sounded the gong from the moment he first saw him, which was some distance away. He is said to have rung the bell sev­eral times and quite loudly though the jeweler seemingly did not hear and paid no attention to the warning sig­nals.

When brought into the pool room the aged man was asked if he were badly hurt. He shook his head nega­tively in reply and stated that he was too weak to tell much about it. He seemed able to move about on the couch and protested against being taken away in the ambulance. Finally he agreed and was taken to his resi­dence in Moorhead.

Aid. Geo. J. Tibert, who happened to be near the scene of the accident at the time, assisted in carrying the jew­eler Into the pool room from where he had been laying In the snowy street. It was thought by those who could give the case any examination that the old man was not seriously hurt and that his feebleness resulted mainly from the shock he had received.

Mr. Ingebretson has conducted a small jewelry and watch mending es­tablishment at 214 Broadway, in one side of the Kadery pool room, for some time. He is well known among the business men of that district as a quiet and unassuming old gentleman who has always been strictly attentive to his business.

of the liberal offerings they have been able to send to the home named to aid in the continuance of good work which is being done there.

Ran Away From Home Two well dressed youths were picked

up by Chief of Police Maivey this morning, and in response to close questioning by the officer at police headquarters, the boys confessed that they had run away from their homes at Jamestown, N. D. Theyt gave their names, Dean Stewart, 17 years of age, and Bert Smith, 15 years of age, and they emphasized the fact that they were as hungry as the dickens. The sheriff of Stutsman county will arrive in Moorhead this evening to take charge of the boys and escort them home.

Leaves Normal SchdOl Board. Fergus Falls Journal: It is to be

regretted that Carl Mathie of St. Cloud if to retire from the normal school board. He seems to have some real ideas in regard to education and to think that a normal school should be run as an educational institution and not as a business or political adjunct. In a letter just before his retirement from the board, which is necessitated by his removal from the state, he says that no effort should be made to have the size of the St. Cloud normal school increased, notwithstanding the busi-nes interests of St. Cloud favor it. He seems to be of the opinion that the efficiency of an institution counts for more than the number of pupils en­rolled. He thinks that the St. Cloud

1 normal should never have more than ; 500 enrolled. Mr. Mathie is entirely i correct. The tendency both at the uni­

versity and at the normals and espec­ially at St. Cloud, has been to boost the attendance to the detriment of the quality and preparedness of the stud­ents.

A new state organization for the prevention of Are will be organized In Fargo Friday evening, Dee. 30. The society will be known as the North Dakota Fire Prevention Association and 'will be far-reaching in its work and scope of membership.

The object of the organization is to be the furtherance of better building laws and regulations, the betterment of physical conditions relating to flre hazards, and the endeavor to interest the insuring public in methods of re­ducing the flre loss, and a consequent reduction in the flre insurance rates.

At a preliminary meeting a tem­porary organization was effected and a committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws and to decide on a line of practical action for the association to pursue.

Business men, architects, builders and contractors will bo included in the membership of the organization and every effort will be made to make the influence of the association felt throughout the state. Similar associ­ations have been organized in other states and have been a tremenduous success, and there is no reason why the North Dakota organization should not be a most successful body.

The members of the committee that have been named to report at the next meeting are: George H. Hrash, chair­man: E. C. Cooper, A. B. Davis, W. J. Tippery and J. P. Read.

first time in many months the Adams county jail is occupied by an alleged blind pigger. For several months past it has been rumored that a "pig" was flourishing at Reeder and Sheriff Krause and State's Attorney Norton dropped into the humble abode of one Henry Hammer of the above named village and Instigated a search for wet goods. The search disclosed one bar­rel of what both officials declare to be genuine, undiluted-thirst-quenching amber fluid made by one Theo. Hamm of St. Paul, Minn. Three "empties" were also discovered among the furn­ishings of the shack. Hammer was forthwith arrested and on Tuesday morning waived examination before Judge Thomas. His honor fixed de­fendant's bonds at 12,000 and the case will come up at the April term of the district court. Hammer will probably be a"ble to furnish the required bonds, otherwise) he will enjoy the association for the next few months of C. F.

KEEPING A DIARY.

Bostonj Transcript: Entering upon the last month of the old year, it is a good resolution to make for the new one to keep a diary. Probably in pro­portion to population this practice is not as widely observed as it was in former days. There is so much busi­ness to absorb the man of affairs that after he has finished his day's work, eaten his dinner and read his paper, it is time to retire to rest and pre­pare for the next day's round. There "are so many distractions for the young that they hardly have time to enjoy tliem all, let alone recording them. Between youth and age the pace is such that we leave the things of yes­terday behind and forget them, while our hopes, ambitions and preparations concern only the things of tomorrow.

It has been said that every man has In him at least one good book. This Is doubtless no exaggeration provided every man would be the author of that book. It would not necessarily be for publication, but it would be available for the confirmation or correction of many things that are published. It is never too early to begin. The Real Diary of a Real Boy suggests that the earlier the habit is formed the more amusing the product will be. The fon i mother jots down the sayings and do­ings of her prattling darlings. En­courage them to take up the record as she has left it, even as soon as they can only clumsily form the characters of our written language, and under her direction put down the happenings of their little lives from day to day until they are old and skilled enough to continue the work unaided.

Such a habit thus early formed will become one of the best educational forces with which the child can be en­dowed. It causes him to be more ob­servant and more reflective. He soon learns that life is not a series of frag­mentary Incidents, but a continuous story, and that, so far as he is in touch with it, he is Its historian. It tends to give clearness and coherence In the statement of experiences and the expression of ideas. It gives him at stated periods of life his finger posts of progress which from time to time he may consult for guidance In the futura So it will be wise Christmas policy for parents to supply their chil­dren with facilities for writing so much of their autobiographies as pertains to the coming year and develop so far as possible their interest and enthusiasm in the project.

But many, probably most people, have neglected this early training, and though they have lost much thereby, it Is never too late to begin. None Is so poor and not many are so illiterate that they cannot leave to their chil­dren the stories of their lives, with such omissions and expurgations as are likely to make them more accept­able. It would help to keep memories green and would show that even the humblest unit in the social cosmos had a part to act.

Every little while somebody wins the world's championship at typewrit­ing, but for some reason champion typewriters nevpr get splendid offers to go on the stage.

ies sustained in an accident more than a year ago, was commenced this morn­ing In the district court. The morn­ing session waa mostly occupied with drawing a jury. After the panel had been selected to sit in the ca*e, the examination of the complainant was begun.

Damages are asked for by the plain­tiff in the sum of $10,000. Permanent bodily injuries are claimed to have been sustained in the accident and also injuries to a horse that was being driven at the time. The collision of the street car with Mr. Lathrop's ve­hicle took place just at the corner of Broadway and Front street, where the street car track makes a wid« curve. The accident took place in September, 1909.

Farms have already been established in Maryland, Ohio, Illinois, Mississippi, Oklahoma and other states and the investigation in North Dakota is now being made, pre­paratory of locating a farm in North Dakota.

"This is a bad season of the year to examine the land," said Mr. Taylor this morning, "but I will spend some time in the state investigating the conditions of the soil. Tomorrow I will go to Hendrum, Minn., and later I ex­pect to look at some land near Cas-selton."

"Our experiment farm propositloh ir a new thing and has not developed yet. We are locating these farms just as rapidly as we can get around to the matter and after having put in several such agricultural stations in other states I have gotten around to North Dakota.

As to the details of such a farm lo­cating in this state, Mr. Taylor was not able to say and until he has made his investigations of the soils and farms in the vicinity of Cass county will he be able to give out anything definite regarding the situation.

WIMBLEDON MOURNS Death of Russell More Caused shook

to Community—Spent Many Y**r* Thar*.

Wimbledon, N. D., Deri. 17.—To The Forum: Perhaps never in the history of this town has there been such widespread and universal mourning as over the sudden and tragic death of Russell More in Fargo on Wednesday evening. When the news of the col­lapse of the building came, and that Russell was missiyg, John and A. Y. More made a frantic rush for the train which was just due. Soon after their departure the second message announcing his death was received. Thursday morning Mrs. John and Mrs. A. Y. More with Robert Evans motored over to Jamestown, going from there by train, accompanied by relatives from there, to attend the funeral ser­vices. Thursday evening his body was shipped to Portage, Wis., where after further services all that was mortal of our friend will be laid to rest. Many-years of his life were spent here with his brothers. After his graduation from the Minnesota university he was admitted to the bar in this state. No one can estimate the loss to the More brothers—not only do they mourn the IOPS of a much beloved brother, but a business manager and legal adviser whose place it will be impossible to fill. He leaves a wife and two children, an aged mother, two brothers and four sisters, besides other relatives and hosts of friends to mourn his untimely end. x Cor. W.

IT PAYS TB PAY

FOR DIMITY EXPERIMENT OF NORTH DAKOTA

CREAMERY PROVED VERY SATISFACTORY.

McKenzle, N. D., Dec. 19.—The Mc-Kenzie Creamery Co. of McKenzie, Burleigh county, North Dakota, was organized in 1908 and commenced operations in April, 1909, and since then there has been manufactured 175,970 pounds of butter and the pa­trons have been paid $36,701.89. On the first of May it was decided to grade all the cream received at the factory and pay according to the qual­ity and this scheme has proved a great success.

The farmers are beginning to real­ize the benefit of bringing in sweet cream and getting from three to four cents a pound more than they would get for sour cream. There is consid­erable difference to the farmer dairy­man at the end of the year when he brings in sweet cream instead of sour and this inducement has made a hit with the farmers around McKenzie judging by the great increase in the amount Of sweet cream being receiv­ed.

Won th* Contest. Paying for quality is a good thing

for both the buyer and the seller. Since the cream grading plan has been adopted at McKenzie the creamery has been under the management of Hans Larson, who is also the butter maker, and he was wlner of the first prize in the four months' educational butter contest in the state of North Dakota. There were forty-five cream­eries represented in • the contest and 150 packages of creamery butter were exhibited.

This was the first contest of its kind ever held in the state and both the patrons of the creamery and Mr. Lar­son are naturally elated over the suc­cess of the creamery and the high scores obtained in the contests. On the strength of winning first place Mr. Larson was awarded a trip to Chicago where he attended the meeting of the National Dairymen's association and probably picked up a lot of pointer* on the conduct of creameries.

The McKenzie project is just a sarn* pie of what can be done by co-opera­tion in the dairying business, as there are a number of farmers who lost most of their crops last season and to whom the money being obtained from the creameries if a great help this winter. r.w

After the surgeons take a man and make him over they regard him as worth talking about.
