THREE GREAT STATES
FARMERS OF MINNESOTA AND DA-
KOTAs TO MEET AT FARGO.

l am getting along very nicely with
the programme for7&the tri-state grain
and stock growers convention, to be held
in Fargo, Jan. to 10. says President
Worst. Quite number of prominent
farmers, stockmen and dairymen have
agreed to prepare papers or talk upon
subjects of general interest to those en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits in Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota Some
express themselves quite encoura gingly.
Here is one from c.. S. Barnes, Fargo:
Il am very much pleased that we are to
have another grain and stock growers
convention. Some make the remark that
this is another boom for Fargo. do not
look upon it in this light. think, on
the contrary, it is great boom for the
farmers and those who can attend the
convention. In more ways than one it Is
certainly the best educator that the
farmers of this country can have We
will have the benefits of instruction from
your college in experiments and other
information. which we must concede is
as good as any that can be obtained at
the present time from any agricultural
college.
1.-The people attending this convention
come from a larger scope of territory
than those attending any other farmers
conventions held here or in other parts
of the state; therefore. we get more in
formation from different farmers who
have been making the farm pay by di-
versifed farming, which is the important
thing that interests the farmers of the
present time.
amy farmer having message to de-
liver to the convention will please write
me Immediately, thai I may place him
on the programme. He should also state
his subject Papers should not be great
er il length than twenty minutes. Farm
ers' wives are just as Welcome as any to
prepare papers or addresses for this con-
yention"

POTATOES ARE ALUXURY
ARE WORTH AS MUCH as APPLIES
AT PRESENT.

The erstwhile Iowly vegetable various
ly known to mankind as the potato, or
tspud," is now an article of ArguS-eyed
dignity. All through the summer and
fall the potato bore the astronomical
onslaIghts of the nation with equanim-
ity, for the value of the "spud'' was
low, indeed, and none were so poor as
to consider it in their expense accounts
All this has changed, however, and
only those who are able to eat apples
three times day can dine upon the
high priced tuber. OF apples there is an
abundance for those who have a SIS bill
which they are inclined to loosen their
clutches on and allow to wander into
the hands of the groeeryman.
On the other hand, each potato is now
looked upon as being the possessor of
considerable intrinsic value. 1t takes 90
cents to make the grocefyman relinqulsh
his title to a bushel of them, and there
are none to spare even at that. In fact
they are so scarce in some parts of the
United States that they are being inn
ported, and the resident of Lonesome
hurst, who decided TO put his lawn in
potatoes instead of La France roses, IS
a striking example Of the advantage Of
utilitariansm over mere art
While the bucolic husbandman may
make strange and weird purchases while
in the city, he is nevertheless keenly
alive to the possibilities of the potato.
He has many bushels of this article
stored in the roothouse and beneath his
kitchen, and as he is letting go of them
one at a time only, the price is away
up near the timber line. This is the
reason given by commission men both
for the scarcity and the high price of
that edible. They do not expect that
there will be stringency in the potato
market much longer, as experience has
shown that after the first of the year
potatoes begin to become more nurner-
Gus and more tractable to the average
householder. In the meantime the
thrifty housewife will be guarded in the
manner in which she separates the po-
tato and its epidermia, and no potato,
no matter how diminutive, need have
any fears as to it's ability to fulfill is
mission by appearing on the table fit
for consumption.

He GETS q YEARS
REUBEN C. PICKETT MUST PAY
THE PENALTY OF HIS
CRIME
A NEW TRIAL Is DENIED
DEFENDANTS Attorney Pleads for
CIcmency-Case May Not BE
Appealed to the SUI
prene Court.
A NEW TRIAL IS DENIED

"The crime for which you have been
found guilty is a serious one. 1t IS az
judged and ordered that you be sentenced
to the states prison at saltwater Tor the
period of twelve years at hard labor.
With the above words the last chapter
in the case of the state against Reuben
C. Pickett for manslaughter in the flrst
degree is closed.
A motion for a new trial was argued
before Judge Elliott yesterday morning
and was denied.
At precisely IL O'Clock Pickett, accom-
panied by deputy sheriff, appeared IN
the court room to receive the court
sentence. He wore maroon sweater and
appeared entirely composed. No trace OF
nervousness or anxiety could be discern
ed in his bearing.
When placed before the bar ana asked
by the court if there was any reason
why sentence should not be passed at
that time, his attorney Mr.. Chamber
lam, appeared in his behalf, and said:
ut seems as though the defendant is
paying the penalty of crime which IS
the result OF weakness rather than OF
commission. There is a grave question
in regard to the innocence or guilt of the
crime with which ne is charged, and we
inplore the court to be as lenient i'll pass
ing sentence as the case warrants. TIE
court should take into consideration the
young wife, left to suffer by his I'M
prtsonmenu and the TWO little children
deprived OF father.
We request that the court may pass
sentence as lenient as possible, this is all
we ask, and no further plea will be
made"
The matter is disposed of for the pres
ent. Mr.. Chamberlain has not yet deter
mined whether he will carry the case up
to the supreme court, as he has a whole
year in which to do this. The only rea-
son why the case Is not taken up at
once is the question of sufficient funds
on the part OF the defendant to stand
the expense of such trial. If later on
the necessary money can be secured, the
case undoubtedly will be taken up, but il
not, it will be dropped, and Pickett will
be compelled to serve out the sentence
imposed.
The defendant will be taken over to
Saltwater as soon as it is convenient for
the proper o1scials.
