Good Farming Pays.

The following regarding I'M
Illinois farm goes to show that
good farming always pays,
whether in Illinois or North Da-
kota:
w. Fl. Howe owns an eighty
acre farm near Jacksonville. This
is not a very big farm as Illinois
farms go, but Mr.. Rowe keeps
$50 hogs on it and makes mon.
ev. But he farms right. His
place is divided into four fields
about equal in sizp-one forsmall
grain, two for corn and one for
clover pasture. Soy beans and
COW peas are raised on a portion
st the land The average Weld
OF corn is eighty-one and a half
bushels during the past three
Years. This crop is cultivated
lh1p in July and later a man with
n hoe kills all the big weeds left
>tanding-t!ipre are not many.
Mr.. Rowe never feeds corn alone
TO pigs, breeding stock orfatten-
ing hogs This little farm makes
more clean money for it's owner
than many Illinois farms four
times us hig, because it is we'll
farmed while the big ones that
are failures are not.

main at various m%ortuaries three un-

Aside from the search for the bod

will not express an opinion before the
inquiry as to the cause of the acct

$4,000 FINE FOR STANDARD OIL
Must Also Pay Costs Of Prosecution
for Operating in Restraint Of Trade.

Findlay, o., Oct. 30.-In probate
court here Judge Banker overruled
the motion filed by the attorneys OF
the Standard Oil company for a new
trial and imposed a fine Of $4,000 and
costs of the prosecution in the recent
suit against the Standard Oil company
here. On motion Of the defense the
court ordered that the defendant com
pany be allowed forty days in which
to prepare and file its bill OF excep'
tions in the case, and on another mo-
tion by the Standard Oil attorneys,
Joseph o. Troup and S. p. Tolles, the
sentence imposed was ordered sus'
pended for a period of sixty days for
the purpose of filing a petition on err
ror in the case. II was also ordered
that the criminal informations pend
ing against John ID. Rockefeller, the
Buckeye Pipe Line company and the
Manhattan Oil company be continued
until the next term Of court.
The fine imposed by Judge Banker
was the limit for n ~offense, though
the law stipulated that each day that
the illegal combination business is
carried on constitutes a separate Of
Tense. Taking this view OF h stat
utes, 1t was possible for the court to
impose an aggregate of fines amount
ing to over $4,000, 900.

FORAKER IS AFTER
 GAMBLERS OF ARIZONA.

Washington, March 5.-Senator For aker today gave notice of an anti gambling amendment to part of the
 Statehood bill, providing for the ad- mission of New Mexico and Arizona as
 one State. He said he would not ask the Senate to vote on the proposition, but desired to speak on it. In his ad- dress to the Senate in support of the joint Statehood bill, Nelson gave many statistical facts in an effort to show that conditions justify the creation of two States, as provided for by the bill. An especial plea for the union of Ari- zona and New Mexico was made by the Senator, who contended that the American element in Arizona would do much to improve the conditions favorable to Statehood in New Mexico.
