Poor Women Got Only 99 Jars Of Free Jam
It was 2 p.m., Friday, Aug. 8. There was some excitement among Rolla housewives over the opening of a new store, Johnson's Food store. As an added incentive to have customers come in, L. R. Johnson, manager, was offering cigars for the men and a one-pound jar of jam to the first 100 ladies entering the store after 2 p.m.
A strange woman stepped in to get his jar of jam. Yes, his, for upon closer examination underneath the wide brimmed hat and clothed in feminine garb was the familiar face of Edson F. Taylor. Ed seems to prefer jam to cigars so he dressed up in a woman's costume, walked down the street and into the store and demanded his jam. He got it too—the only free jar of jam given to a male.

USE ESPERANTO.
Colony in Stutsman County are Using Universal Language.
Jamestown—A colony of people in the vicinity of Gem, in northern Stutsman county, have actively taken up Esperanto and employ the new language in their own homes and in communication with their neighbors who are interested in the new language.
The movement was initiated by Franz Frankgeld who recently moved into the country from Nebraska. His children speak it as readily as they do English. A 3-year-old child is learning the language and her parents state grasps the new language rapidly.
It is planned to conduct school in which all interested neighbors may participate and where their children may be instructed. Several families have taken up the study and find it fascinating and interesting. Norwegian, German, and Russian students at social gatherings and in business dealings with each other employ Esperanto instead of English and understand one another with ease.
