Clue to Murderer

The county officials of Ward
county have at last found a clue
to the reported murder near
White Earthlast August, About
the l14th of August woman's
clothing was found on the bank
of a small creek near White
Earth. A few days previous a
horse and buggy was left at the
farm of a man by the name Of
Alex Will, by a young man. He
said he would return in day
but never came back. An inves-
tigation Of the buggy resulted in
the finding of a blood stained
laprobe.
Last week E. u. Allen of Bois-
seyain, Can, with 2. Jones a
we'll known detective, arrived in
White Earth and identified the
horse as having been hired from
Allen by young man named
Andrew Wolsonl.
Wolsom was a resident of
Boissevain and his father is a
prominent merchant.
The trinkets and the clothes
were identified as belonging to a
haltbreed squaw in the Turtle.
mountain regions, who myster-
iously disappeared about that
time.
ZONES will take the case and
run the murderer down.

Land Decision
Received Here
Officials Of Land Office are Instructed
to Collect $l.50 on Reserva-
ton Land.

At noon Saturday Receiver
Vic Chaffee and Register George
Wilson. Of the local land office
received message from the
Commissioners of the General
land office, at Washington in
structing them to charge all
those making committed proofs
wilhin the boundry of the old
Fort Berthold Indian Reserva-
ton, the sum Of $50 per acre.
Readers of the Graphic will re-
call an article published a short
time ago which stated that num-
erous contests had been started
upon lands within the confines
of the old Fort BerthoId Indian
Reservation, In this article we
quoted from the land laws an
article which stated that this
land should be open only for
actual homestead proofs and
that where a commuttedS proof
was made the charge should be
$l.5O. It would seem from the
word received here that the De-
partment at Washington. had re-
ceived a number of these con-
tests and that an investigation
had been made made,
The boundaries OF the old
Fort Berthold Reservation, are
given below:

.DEvELOPES
A new FLAX
A New Flax Developed by Experiment
Stations that Means Millions to
the Farmers

The Minnesota Experiment Station
has. after working several wears, deveI.
oped variety of fax that not only
yields more to the acre than the com :
mon flax, but also resists the disease
known 80 wilt. The average last year
was l1.3 bushels per acre. Two years
ago the station distributed Minnesota
No. Is of '.Primmost fax" to farmers
tbruout the state and this flax was grown
by them giving it a thorough test. The
average comparative yield on forty
eight farms where No. rs was grown
alongside of the common varieties OF
flax and under exactly the same condi-
tions showed an average gain of 81
bushels per acre for No. 25 over the
common varities, the common varieties
averaging II 8 bushels per acre and the
No. 25 averaging Is bushels per acre,
making over gain q 26 per cent on the
other varieties.
There were last year 637 1865 acres Of
flax in Minnesota with yield il the
state of an average farm value of S6
cents bushel, or total farm va lue
for the entire crop Of minnesota of
So, ,363. .459. North Dakota raised over
Is, O7S,1 1876 bnchels, the farm value be-
ing $l2 ,947 ALB and South Dakota raised
4. 454,647 bushels.
A gain OF 26 per cent in the yield per
acre would have meant to the farmers
of Minnesota an additional income Of
sl.134.499.45 over that received from
the fax crop Of last year.
While the increased yield OF the new
variety of fax indicated that it would
be the best variety for the farmers of
the state to grow, this years test of it at
bothlthe Minnesota and North Dakota
stations show it to be wilt resistent as
we'll as more productive flax. just
WI at this will mean to the farmers of
the northwest cannot be estimated III
dollars and cents. as the yearly loss
from wilt although known to be enor-
nous, can only be guessed at. Wilt is
fungus disease that attaches both root
and stem just above the ground.
Prof. G. P. Bull of Minnesota expert.
ment station says that flax is q renum-
eratiye crop; that it does not take any
more nutriment from the soil than do
the average grain crops and does well
when following grass or cultivated
crop in seven or ten year rotation.
Flax has also the advantage of requiring
. shorter time to mature than the other
grain crops, thus making it possible to
sow later in the spring.
Prof, Bull urges that all farmers raise
some flax and that they start to raise
No. 25 as soon as possible. He thinks
farmers should pay more attention to
the experiment stations work. The
Minnesota experiment station has found
that Minnesota No. 25 is wilt resistent
that it gives larger yields. These re-
suits we're obtained both at the station
1t st. Anthony's Park and the North,
western experiment station at Crooks

TRUTH ABOUT ADVERTISING
Newspaper Must Be Made Interest
ing to Subscribers.

Newspaper advertising is valuable
in the proportion that it represents
au interesting and true story. told at
the right time through popular pa
pers. Like farming. it depends on
know how, proper seed, proper plant
ing and fertility of the soil. Simply
paying for space and filling it with a
lot of unattractive. time-worn gener-
alities is not profitable advertising
not good business farming. In the
country, at least, we do not believe
that a vast am cunt of professional
skill is required to write a good ad.,
but simply the full knowledge of your
business and surroundings, together
with ability to place before the peo-
pie a simply story OF what you have
and why they should be interested in
knowing about it.

BUILD up THE RURAL ROUTES
PATRONS SHOULD PREPARE FOR
THE COUNT rO BE MADE.
Routes Must Handle 1900 Pieces OF
Mail Matter Each Month TO
secure Daily Service.

The probability of several of the ru.
raj routes in the county being placed
on the twice. a. week service list by
the postal authorities is causing a
great deal of comment and speculation
among the patrons of several of the
smaller routes, and as the authorities
require that at least 200 pieces of
mail matter must be received on each
route in order TO keep 1t on the daily
service list, there is considerable ap-
prehension that certain of the routes
will fall short.
There are now ii rural routes in
Berkeley county-six being served
from the Martins5urg postoffice. three
from Hedgesvllle, two from Inwood.
two from Bunker Hill aud one from
Falling Waters. 1t is not expected
that any of these will be disoontin-
ued. but it is almost positive that the
number OF pieces of mail now being
handled must be materially increased
in order to keep others from going on
the twice-a. week list. As there is no
means of learning just when the cat
riers will be gwen orders to count
the mail, it would be the part of wis
dom for the patrons of the rural routes
to begin at once to build up their
routes.
This can be done at cost of one cent
per day in subscriptions to The
World. TWENTY-FIVE patrons on any
one route can increase the number OF
pieces of mail inst $50 by securing
The World during the time the count
ia being made, and this may be the
means of holding the daily service.
1t would be we'll to begin this at once,
so write for a sample copy today.
