GOLFERS CURIOUS DRIVE.
Playing From a Treetcp-sall That
Bounded Back to Starting Point.

Playing From a Treetcp-sall That
Bounded Back to Starting Point.
An odd incident occurred on Satur.
day during a match at the Golf Club
de Paris, neal Versailles, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. Two players in the open
amateur championship were at the
fourteenth tee, when one sent his
drive up a tree. The ball remained
fixed between two branches; a caddie,
climbing up, discovered it's presence
there. .
A great consultation arose as to
what should be done. The committee
was hastily summoned and stood be-
meath the spreading s.auches of the
tree, much in the fashion in which st.
Louis dispensed justice In a primitive
France. Evidently the ball was not
out of bounds. Finally the judges de-
creed that either a new ball should be
dropped on the tee, counting two, or
the ball should be played from the
spot. To save the point, the golfer
bravely Skinned up the tree and play.
ed his ball from the embracing fork,
making, indeed, quite a good stroke.
Later, in the afternoon from the
same tee l witnessed another curious
incident. The player had driven, and
his ball, striking the sand box of the
ladies' tee, fifty yards ahead, bounded
back to It's starting place. The player
then drove into the bunker with his
second shot, which is also something
of a performance.

BABY TORTURED nv ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet--WouId
Cry Until Tired out-speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. / had heard OF 30 many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
I thought l would give them a trial.
The Improvement was noticeable In a
few hours, and before ! had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
we're well and have W troubled her
since. I also used 1t to remove what
is known as cradle cap from her
head, and it worked like a charm, as 1t
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier.

timothy, which was raised on the
ranch Of c. l.. Eakin on the old Fort
Sully reservation. Last winter Eakin
secured timothy seed and sowed 1t on
the sod where wheat grass grew, and
1t made a good growth, the crop being
about half of each Of the grasses. He
now has forty acres of this hay in the
stack which will excel any other hay
raised anywhere. Besides this there
Will be a large display of alfalfa and
red clover, both of which are doing
well in this part of the state.

do you know why? It's because I
used to drink coffee but | finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then l have drank coffee and
both times l passed a ~sleepless night,
and so / am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-

MY brother was In the habit OF
drinking coffee three times a day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and l
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without a dose of soda for re-
lief.
Finally he tried a cup of Postum
and liked it so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom-
ach."
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for a time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved it.

SCORES THE TAX BOARD.
United States Express Files Written
Protest at Pierre.

The United States and American
Express companies made strong pro-
tests before the state board of review
against the increase of 100 per cent in
their assessed valuation in the state.
The United States company, in a
written protest, charges the board with
arbitrarily, enormously, without evil
dence and in violation of the constitu.
ton raising the assessed valuation Of
that eompany's property more than
100 per cent. The company demands
that it's statement of wholly interstate
business be taken as a basis of assess
ment, without considering its inter.
state business.
The American Express representa-
tive made a strong statement against
the action of the board, but no written
protest was filed. While the represent
alive of the United States company
would not say whether the assessment
would be attacked in the courts, the
complaint would indicate such action.

MANY FARMERS GO TO INSTITUTE
State MANAGEMENT Increases the Popularity Of the Meetings
More Than 10000 Is Attendance for Last Year.

Since the state has taken to man.
age the farmers institutes 1t Is a no.
ticeable fact that they are better at
tended and a greater interest is being
developed among the farmers to obtain
the knowledge which the professional
lecturers have to give. The state has
employed the best men IL can secur
under the limited means at the hands
of the board, but it has had a decidedly
good effect in quickening and maintain
ing the interest of the farming popu-
lation.
A. Z. Chamberlain of Brookings Is
the superintendent of the institute
board and the report that he has just
filed with the board d~iscloses some in
teresting information with regard to
the Institutes that have been held in
the last year, ending with June 80.
There were held 131 days of regular
institute work, with $50 regular SEES
sions, and a total attendance of more
than 10000. The attendance the last
year has been a little more than two
and a half times as large as the previ-
Gus year. In addition to the regular
institute work three large corn meet
ings have been held in the state by
Prof. r. G. Holden of Iowa, and these
have been of ~incalculable benefit to the
communities that were favored. A
state corr show was held in Mitchell
during the middle of the winter, and
this had the effect of stimulating the
corn industry to quite an extent in
many parts of the state. 1t is the in
tention to have another corn show in
this city during the coming winter.

BUILD MORE BRIDGES.

The county commissioners of Da.
vison county are called upon to ex-
pend a goodly sum of money for the
building Of bridges in order to open
up new roads in various townships.
They have awarded contracts for six
new bridges at a cost OF s 5000 when
completed, but there will be more
outlets through the country, the neces-
sity for which has become apparent
with the increased settlement in many
parts of the county. Several counties
surrounding also are letting contracts
for the construction of new bridges.

BREWERY MASH BARRED.
Sioux City Dairymen Must Chang
Their Cow Feed.

D. .
Sioux City Jan. 7-Unless local
dairymen desist from feeding brewery
mash to their cows, Milk Inspector
J. e. Huffmann will institute prosecu-
tions under provisions Of the Iowa law,
which makes 1t penal offense. Mr..
Huffman has written Herbert r.
Wright, the state food and dairy COM
missioner at Des Moines, explaining
conditions here and asking for in
structions as to how to proceed with
his prosecutions, and as soon as he
hears from him he will begin action.
Il will not say how many of the To-
cal dairymen are feeding brewery mash
to their cows, said Mr.. Huffman to
The Tribune. "but there are several.
The brewery mash is said to make ex-
cellent feed and for my own part fail
to see how the milk could be injured,
but the law is against it and l do not
propose to see the law violated if can
help it.
1.-THE law was passed under the sup
position that enough alcohol was left
in the mash to affect the milk IL fed to
the cows
Inspector HUFFMAN fails to find that
the milk Is affected by the feeding of
brewery mash and that the milk tests
about the same now as before mash
was fed. The penalty is heavy fine
or Jail sentence.

American Apples For Europe.


Europe may denounce our meats and
canned goods, but there Is at least one
food product we export that she is glad
to get, says the Elmira Advertiser.
That is the American apple. The
steadily increasing demand for that
fruit is but one more form In which
Americas influence is showing itself.
Only few years ago the idea Of ship
ping apples across the Atlantic would
have been scoffed at. But things have
changed. Now no less than 256,655
barrels Of apples leave our Atlantic
ports every week for the old world.
Since the season began there have
been shipped from New York 367, 1893
barrels, from Boston. 100000 barrels
and from Portland, Me-, 1921 barrels.
The extent Of this trade has been con-
stantly increasing and will continue to
do SO, for never before has America
turned out as fine a quality Of apples
as this year.

Northwest Towns Still Appeal
ing For Coal to Prevent
Freezing Of People
SIXTY FARMERS DIVIDE ON CAR
Temporary Relief Secured by Town of
MohaII-crookston, MINI, Out of
Fuel and State Railway Commission
Is Appealed To-caIvin, N. D., in
Distress.

Minneapolis Jan. 7.-One carload OF
coal reached the distressed town OF
Nphall, N. D., Saturday afternoon, be-
ing hauled in by passenger train.
It was none too soon, for there were
sixty farmers in the town, who had
been driven, in from the country by an
utter lack OF fuel with which to fight
the bitter cold of the first really cold
wave Of the winter.
Farmers to the southwest of Mohall
Saturday chopped up a mile of tele-
phone poles for fuel, but a telegram
from the Commercial Club late Satur-
day said that despite the arrival Of one
car of coal, the situation was growing
worse.
While Mohall faces gloomy outlook,
however, every possible agency is being
employed to hasten fuel into the town.
The use of passenger equipment to
carry In the first supply was under the
direct orders of James ]. Hill. He had
O0SA 1SAuOSlSN W ShARAOJ AAoSAAs ~
lief measures by Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Lane, at Washington,
who in turn has been apprised by the
Mohall people Of their predicament.
Tho the railroads are doing their ut
most to relieve the territory now facing
serious suffering as result of fuel
famine, appeals are still coming from
town In especial need. Calvin, N. D.,
telegraphed that 1t was entirely out Of
fuel and that suffering was imminent.
Numbers Of nineteen cars loaded out
of Duluth for Calvin, but lost some-
where in the shuttle, were given, and
an appeal made that something be done
to hurry them along.
Even so large place as Crookston is
beginning to feel the pinch Of the fuel
shortage. Being in Minnesota, the case
OF Crookston does not come within the
jurisdiction Of the interstate commerce
commission, so an appeal has been
made to the state railroad and ware
house commission. The following tel
egram was received by the state COM
mission Saturday.
"Crookston, Jan. 5.-Absolutely not
a ton Of hard or soft coal in this city
of 5000 population with none in sight.
Dealers have placed orders for fifty
