May 5th is Arbor day, and ac-
cording to custom will be ob-
served as ~ holiday in North Da-
kota. Arbor day does not mean
a holiday as the term goes, but it
means that on that day every
body who has the beautifying of
the state at heart will plant at
least one tree on that day. Let
us hope that all our citizens will
on that day plant not only one tree
but lot of them. Those who
have planted trees in the past
have been well repaid for the
labor and small expense attached
to it. Cooperstown to day is one
of the most beautiful little cities
in the state, and this result has
been brought about because our
citizens have taken pains to plant
trees year after year.

The Pennsylvania legislature
adjourned without electing a
senator, being the fourth state
doing this same act. This is an
other strong argument in favor
of electing United States senat-

feated by the legislature but was
saved by Gov. Stone who ap-
pointed him to fill the vacancy.
By the-way the sensational case
against Quay ended in the ac-
quittal of the senator from the

Warning to Farmers.

Fargo Forum: The other day The
Forum published an item in regard
to the Realty Revenue Co., Of Min
neapolls, stating that the insurance
department of this state has started a
suit to have the matter determined
whether it was an insurance com.
pany, and if it was declared to be
then il mnst come in under the laws
governing such organizations. Now
comes warning from the Farm,
Stock and Home, of Minneapolis, for
the farmers to beware of this COM
pany. They have advertised S. E.
Olson, the great merchant prince OF
that city as one Of those interested in
this company, and he comes out with
card denying any connection with
the concern. The Minneapolis pa
per states that the president of this
new venture occupied the same
position with the Montevideo COM
pany some years ago, and this should
be enough to condemn the organiz-
alton. Farmers should investigate
this carefully before having anything
to do with the company.

respected residents, in the death
at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Condy, Friday evening,
April 21st. of Mrs. Helena Hal
vorson Hammer, aged 20 years,
6 months and 4 days. Mrs.
Hammer was born in Norway,
Oct. 18th, 1923. She became the

Mrs. George Condy, Of Coopers-
town. Mr.. and Mrs. Hammer
came to Cooperstown nine years
ago from Minnesota. where they
had lived eleven years since COM
ing from Norway. Mrs. Ham
mer has been an invalid for eight
for eight years the result of a
fall-a great sufferer yet she
bore it all patiently, submissive
ly, not a murmur of complaint.
A faithful wife and a loving
mother, she endeared herself to
all her children, most of whom
were able to be with her during
her last hours until she peaceful
ly fell asleep in the arms of
Jesus whom she was proud to
claim as her best friend. To her
children and her spiritual ad-
wiser she expressed herself as
prepared to go. The funeral
services were held in the Luther
an church, the service being
conducted by Rev. O. K. Guam
me assisted by Rev. E. S. Shaw
and the remains inferred in

her husband. The relatives and
friends have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends many of
whom attended the service.

WILL FAT THEIR OWN CATTLE.

The Tucson Star says. 'John Brown
returned from Denver last week, where
he went to look into the business Of
making arrangem ents for feeding and
fattening his range cattle for the mar
kets. The buyers of feeders have, in a
measure, ignored Arizona cattle men
with view of forcing down prices. Our
stockmen came to the conclusion hat
they could get along without these mid
die men, and that they could take their
feeders to the Montana, Colorado, Kan
sas an, other northern pastures as well
as these speculators, and reap the
benefit themselves. TO this end Mr..
Brown has made arrangements to feed
and fatten range cattle at the rata of
twenty cents per head month, or 81
per month for the season of five or six
months. Hay will not cost more than
81 30 per ton to feed the stock.
This moving of the feeders nearer the
market and then fattening them fer
consumption will prove of much benefit
to them. Messrs. John Blown, N. A
Bernard and George Pusch have already
arranged to ship four train loa Of
feeders to these ranges, which will be
sent forward early next month. Mr..
Pusch has lefs lor Kansas City to make
arrangements for the sale of these fat
tened feeders. There will be number
of other stockmen who will join in the
business ofsending their feeders to the
northern grass ranges and make the
profits themselves, now made by middle
men; so that it will not be necessary for
Montana and Dakota cattle buyers to
come down to Arlzopa to inform our
stockmen of the value of their cattle.
