FARMER DO YOU
WANT TO KNOW
All About the Best Methods for Farming and STOCK
Raising--If so Attend the Farmers Institute
Herewith be Best Ever Heldin State

is now up to the farmers to
make the meetings successful and
of practical benefit to them.
Come and learn the best meth
ods of farming. Do not stick in
the old ruts and make the same
mistakes that your neighbor is
making and that your ancestors
have made for generations.
There has been more progress
along agricultural lines than in
almost any other department
in our country. Farmers in
North Dakota, if they take ad-
vantage of the experiences of
these experts, can give North
Dakota a reputation that will
be favorably known far and
wide. Just think of it; a chance
to get any information that you
may desire, about your branch
of business, entirely free of
charge and from authorities that
are the best. Can you afford to
miss it? ., ..a
There will be three meetings
each day on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, Feb. 4th, 5th
and 9th. Come prepared to
stay and attend all meetings.
Arrangements have been made
with the Williston Cancert Band
to furnish music at the evening
session and this alone should be
a sufficient drawing card. The
u illiston Band, under the lead
ership of Prof. Onstad, has i'm
proved almost incredibly during
the last few months and now
renders music better than any
other band in the state. We are
not able to give a detailed pro-
gram of the institute meetings,
at this time, but have no hesita-
ton in assuring the residents of
this county who are interested
in this line of work that the
meetings will be brim full of in
terest to every one OF you ana
if the suggestions are followed
the result will be beneficial not
only to each one Of the farmers,
but to the county and state as
well. Come and do your part
toward making this institute a
success. We want to make it be-
yond all question the best insti-
tute held in the state this year
and it needs only your atten-
dance and cooperation. If this
meeting is successful we can ex-
pect to have institute meetings
each year for the benefit of the
farmers. "
Specialists on irrigation and
on dry farming will be here from
Montana and now is the time to
get information as to prepare
your land to make it valuable

Almighty God, the Supreme Ru1-
er of the Universe, in his love and
wisdom, has deemed it best to take
from us to his home beyond the
skies, our beloved brother Oscar
Healy.
In view of the loss sustained by
his departure by the Corvallis Camp
6o2e, of the M. w. of A.; by his
nearest friends, and still heavier the
severe loss sustained by his sorrow
ing wife and children, to whom he
was the nearest and dearest and
most precious, be it
RESOLVED, That we tender1y
condo1e and extend to his bereaved
wife aud children in this dark hour
of trial and affection, Our war1nest
sympathy; that we commend them
to the. loving father for. comfort,
strength, and help to sustain them
in this the hour of need, who al
ways % oks with a plying eye upon
the widow and the father1ess, and
does all things for thebest,
RESOLVED, That it is only a
just and fitting tribute to the men,
ory of Our esteemed neighbor, to
say, in regretting his removal from
among us, we mourn for one who
J was ever faithful to the, task i'm
posed upon him; who was ever a
faithful, true, devoted and loyal
member of our great Order, fidelity
to duty being his motto; who was
an honest, upright, honored citi-
zen-a good man, a kind, thought
full husband, a loving, attentive
father, .--
RESOLVED, That while we deep
ly mourn with them who knew
him best, and loved him most, we
share with them the bright hope
that heaven gives to the faithful
soldier; that the good Shepherd
holds in store for those who do his
bidding, his will-the hope of that
reunion in that better world where
sorrows are unknown, where heart
aches are forgotten, where there
are no more partings, and bliss in
efable forbids all tears.
RESOLVED, That this heartfelt
testimonial of our sympathy, our
sorrow, our love, Our esteem, be

La FoMtte.

AS no other man has done it,
he tears the mask from that which
is hypocritical and false in the
country. The exposure is COM
p1ete, his arraignment merci1ess.
He knows his subject as few other
men know it, and dares to tell it
all. Alltthe power of Mammon
cannot deter him from telling the
story, all the threats and snubs of
predatory interests connot swerve
him from his duty. He may be
called a demagogue, but he is not.
He is patriot of the school that
gave thecountry birth, and that if III:
views could prevail would be of TN
told benefit to its people.
He says that the country is in in
dustria1 servitude, and it is true.
The iron barons control the price
of iron and steel. There are no in
dependent operators because the
steel trust won't let them live, Just
as Rockefeller won't let independ-
ent oil operators live. Those who
buy steel Or. iron, and everybody
living has to, pays not what it is
worth, but what iron masters choose
oask. Everybody who buys su.
gar, pays not what it is worth,
but what Have1neyer sees fit to ask.
Everybody who buys coal, pays
not what it is worth, but
what the trust chooses to ask. In
a country rolling in wealth, pro-
ducing bound1ess1y, lirnitlessly,
yielding as it never yielded before a
few men get the profit, and all the
rest are toiling for them 1t is the
unrnixed truth, and magnificent is
the man who dares, as La Toilette
dares, to tell it anywhere and eve
rywhere.

MAY NOT RECOVER.
Flames Caught the Inmates Of a Buru-
ling Dwelling and one is badly
Burned.

The total destruction by fire of
the J. B. Maurer home In the Big
Elk country, and the serious burns
sustained by the owner and his
nephew during the. fire occurred
Sunday night. Mr.. Maurer was
postmaster and the Office was kept
in the house. Between II and ~
Sunday night the family was arous-
ed by the roar of flames which then
enveloped the house. The nephew.
Ed Maurer, was asleep kupstairs,
and the uncle went up to rescue
him. The lad, who is aged I6 was
found under the bed,- having been
overcome by the heat and smoke.
: The bed on which he had been
asleep was ablaze with flames. TIE
youth was dragged out and assisttd d
from the building. Both were
burned severely, neither for some
time afterward being able to see. A
telephone message from the scene
this morning relates that the elder
Mourer is. better, but it is doubt
full if the boy will recover. DR.
Cathey went over yesterday after
noon, and at 10 o'clock this fore
noon was still at the bedside. The
house and contents were totally
destroyed, involving a loss Of about
81, 900. It was a two-story struct
ure, and one of the best in the
neighborhood.
