SETTLERS WANT THE LAND

Lands in Burlelgn. hlddeI, McLedn,
Emmons and the adjoining counties
east of the Missouri river are being
bought, to a large extent by actual
settlers. Inquiries for these lands
come for the most part from persons
who intend to settle On the lands,
raise grain and stock. and conduct in
telligent, diversified farming opera
tions. There is little land in the
above mentioned counties being
bought by spectators. The settlers
themselves know the character Of the
land. 1t has been tested by actual
farming and stock raising operations,
and these have proven that it is suit
able for farming and stock growing,
and that the settler can obtain cheap
lands ON which he may farm success
fully. Corn reaches successful ma
turity all through these counties.
Fields of growing corn, which has
ripened and made an excellent, mar
ketable article, have proven in the
past that this land, intelligently
farmed, will return many fold the seed
planted. Herds Of fat cattle grazing
on the rich grasses Of the hills and
valleys prove the excellent opportun-
tiles that exist for raising and fatten-
ing cattle. one of the best properties
than can he held. The increase in
the price of beef through the country,
and the well known fact that the sup
ply of beef cattle does not keep pace
with the ever increasing demand,
demonstrates the possibilities that
wait on the man who obtains a ranch
and begins the raising of cattle.
In addition to these facts, there is
the important consideration of trans
%portation. For many years the count
less acres of good land east of the
Missouri river lay fallow. and to a
large extent uninhabited, for the rea-
son that they were a long distance
from railroads., and a market. AS
soon as the building of railroads be-
gan the settlement of the country be-
gan in earnest. With the lines now
builded, and those to be completed
this year, every settler east of the
Missouri river will have access to mar
ket by railroad, at a convenient dis
lance. North. south and east of Bis
marck, railroads are being builded, or
are already in operation, that insure
convenient markets. This is an i'm
portant consideration for the farmer,
who cannot proftably market his
produce when he is twenty or twenty
five miles from a railroad.
These facts are appreciated by the
experienced farmers, who have con-
sidered the relative advantages of the
lands being offered for sale through
the west, and who are making inquir-
les for lands on the Missouri slope in
Burleigh. Kidder, Mclean, Emmons
and the adjoining counties. Proven
fertility Of the soil, opportunities fo1
diversified farming and stock raising
convenience to market. good water
school opportunities-all of these
things are obtained by the settler who
is looking for a farm along the east
side of the Missouri.

The desirability and, indeed, the ne
eessity for tree planting has become
more and o apparent in recent
years. Forestration is not the work
OF a day but a practical science. The
application of the principles of for
estry and demonstration will have a
tremendous influence on the climatic
and physical conditions of the coun-
try in future years. The work for
which Arbor Day is proposed is, of
course, not SO broad in scope nor so
Tar reaching in effect. as that for
which schools of forestry and a ma
tiona1 bureau of forestry have been
established, but Arbor Day has an i'm
po1tant significance nevertheless. 1t
should encourage tree planting along
the residence streets and OF
cities and villages; in public squares
n parks and upon private grounds.
1t should stimulate the work for
which thirty years ago Village i'm
provement' societies were formed
such as the removal of unsightIy
fences, the encouragement of land
scape gardening. the parking" Oh
streets. and other improvements which
appeal to the aesthetic sense.

money all my days save on your learning,

Beyond a doubt the Panama is king
From every section an enormous demand

the demand for worthy Panamas has come
a demand for trashy goods. for the sort
put together with a lick and a promise 9"
Inc market is full of Panama pretenders
that are being foisted alike upon the re-
taller and the consumer. Indeed, several
factories have been established for the
sole purpose of turning out spurious Pana-
mas. The lowest grades of material are
obtained, nodded into a semblance of shape
treated with chemicals and unblushingly
offered to the trade as genuine South
American Panamas' Then. again the
vogue of the Panama In the United States
has induced some willy South American
dealers to collect all their worthless and
rejected stock much of it unfit for any
purpose except burning, and send it here.
Hence the only protection of retailer is to
buy of manufacturers upon whom he can
rely and whose reputation is too precious
to them to be trifled with. The very cheap
so-called Panamas arr dangerous to handle
for 1t is obvious that they will not give
satisfaction and that the retailer who
sells them will be. roundly berated by his
misled customer.
Those well qualified to Judge say that

excessive popularization and the difficulty
of distinguishing the genuine from the
spurious, has soured fashion toward the
Panama and that consequently its vogue is
doomed.
Retailers complain that the sales of soft
hats this season have been very small in
comparison with what they had A right to
expect. This condition is attributable sole
ly to the too early displays of Panamas in
shop windows. So eager were many TO
take advantage Of the Panama Juror that
they sighted soft hats altogether. and as
result soft hat sales have dwindled to
insignificant proportions.
Rough and ready straws with double
and triple brims are in brisk request for
the popular trade. The bands on some of
the hats are fastened with buckles giving
them a novel effect.
The Panama will unqueStionably be the
most popular of summer hats, and from
fashion standpoint the best These hats
have been initiated in very cheap goods,

at the news.
Why should you go away from me, Fair

he would visit upon my head the sins of
my father and brother Else would he
have sent you to me with this message of

There was something in what he urged.
Indeed, l had been thinking of it with a
certain gladness all the past night and all

Rupert? That, at least was unanswerable.

How long this torrent of scarcely muffied
asperities would have continued to flow l
cannot tell, but the course of events was
changed by the initiative of Little Johnny
Colstoun. Quite unseen by me and proba-
bly, by my doughty antagonist he had de-
tached himself from my hand and made off
In the direction of the herds house. After
that, he disappeared entirely for some min
utes and his movements from that point
can only be made out by inference from
circumstantial evidence.

presently several things from the herd s

by giving tongue in front of me, her elbows
akimbo and her head continually tossed In
the ascendant, the gray-headed old man
dropped his avenging rod, abandoned the
chase of LII Johnny, and dived back into
the house with a iudicrous suggestion of a
rabbit going into ITS hole.
He was out again in a moment however
and descended the little rough road with a
