FRED FALLEY, ex-secretary of state
and for more than twenty years editor
of the Wahpeton Globe, died quite
suddenly Friday of last week IN Mime
apolis, where IN company with his wife
he had gone to spend the holidays with
relatives and a number of old friends.
Falley was a self-made man and since
the early days of statehood had become
recognized as a political leader of the
republican party in his section of the
state. Death is reported as having been
due to heart failure.

The year just close has heen a fairly
prosperous one fortao people Of Langdon
and the surrounding neiqhborhood.
Crops, though not Of an average yield
have commanded better prices than
usual and prices for farm products
generally are far above the average.
This, perhaps, is an opportune time to
pave the way for future progress. Many
things might be done to hasten the full
development of this section. Langdon
needs an organization whose purtose is
to lead in public enterprises-a Com
mercial Club-and the DEMOCRAT trusts
n will begin an active, vigorous cam
paign early in 1908.

WITH the adyentof the holiday season
tidings reached his many North Dakotan
friends of the death of Hon. r. A. Shad-
rick, famlliarly known as "Silver Dick" a
former Fargo resident who died in a
hospital at Chicago on December 10Th.
where he had undergone a double
operation on Dec. 18th. Tie
ment Of his death came as a big sur
prise, as it was not known that the
popular salesman was ever ailing.
Richard Fl. Shadrick was probably one
of the best known travellers in North
Dakota, leaving the state last October to
take the general agency of the Nc
Laughlin Coffee company at Chicago.
On account of the active part he took in
the 1896 Bryan campaign, he became
known as "Silver Dick" and the name
has stayed with him ever since. He was
on the state democratic ticket in the
last general election. Mr.. Shadrick
leaves a wife and one son, both of whom
we're present when death came. The
deceased vas born in Baltimore, Md, in
1850, first coming west and making
Fargo his home about twenty-five years
ago. Later he moved to Grand Forks,
residing there a few years when he
again went to Fargo. He was a member
of the Fargo council U. G. T., the Key
stone lodge and the Knights Templar.
The funeral was held in Chicago under
the auspices of the Knights Templar
commandry.

The immense quantity Of potatoes
wasted yearly in every county in this
and other states upon a conservative
estimate amount to millions of bushels.
Recently attempts have been made IN
Germany to overcome this waste of a
valuable farm product, by artificially
drying potatoes the same as apples and
similar fruits are dried and it is stated
that the experiments have proven salts
factory. By this means the national
capital is greatly preserved and hence
to no small extent increased. So far
this industry is yet in its infancy. But
no doubt when once fully developed and
made practical it will mean an immense
increase to the farmers wealth. Accord
ing to chemical analysis artifcially dried
potatoes contain as much nurishing
quality as corn, hence they will furnish
excellent fodder for the ~fattening of
cattle and hogs. We hope that this in
dustry will soon rapidly develop and
find It's way into such sections of this
and other states where the maturing of
field corn is not a practical success.

ALCOHOL AS FUEL.
It's Uses Demonstrated to National
Grange Delegates

Alcohol as fuel and for lighting pur-
poses is being demonstrated at the Ma
tional Hotel under the auspices of the
farmers national committee on industrial
alcohol. These demonstrations which are
of a practical nature, are being given for
the benefit of farmers and others attend
ing the national grange, which meets in
this city tomorrow. and the general pub
lie.
George ?. Hampton, secretary of the
farmers national committee on industrial
alcohol. is in charge of the demonstra-
tons and exhibits. He is assisted by
Charles Barnard Two large rooms on
for these purposes, one of which is filled
with alcohol appliances. such as stoves.
irons. heaters. lamps and chatting dishes.
The other room is being used for the
demonstrations. Both rooms are heated
and lighted by alcohol appliances.
In speaking of denatured alcohol, Mr..
Hampton said the time has arrived when
this commodity can be considered as a
successful competitor of coal oil and kero-
sene for fuel and lighting purposes. He
added:
The highest price the farmers of the
east will ever have TO pay for denatured
alcohol is % cents per gallon, the maxi
mum retail price now guaranteed by the
large distilers. As production increases
and distribution is perfected, the price is
certain to decline much lower than this
Therefore. if alcohol is a desirable do
mestic fuel at 10 cents a gallon, and can
compete successfully with kerosene and
other illuminants. and with gasoline and
coal for cooking at that price, ii is bound
to have tremendous future as it grows
cheaper

WERE REALLY BOYS IN BLUE
GREATER PART OF UNION
ARMY WE'RE UNDER 81.
Assertion Proved by the Enlistment
Figures Of the War De-
partment Records.

Mere boys formed the major portion
Of the rank and file of the Union army
in the civil war, according to statement
made by Judge Ivory G. kimball. past
department commander of the G. A. r., IN
q recent address before the members OF
Burnside Post. He said his assertion
Is proved to be correct by the enlist
ment figures in the records OF the civil
war at the War Department.
The records show, he added, that out
of the entire number Of enlistmants dur
ing the war on the federal side 3.3ll,o 2o
were between the ages OF eighteen and
twenty-one years.
Continuing, Judge Kimball said: There
have been frequent claims made by men
in different sections of the country,
each that he is the youngest soldier serV-
ing on the Union side in the war OF the
rebellion. and in view of these many ana
varied assertions. 1t may be OF interest
to know what the record OF ages OF en-
listments was during the war
Here is a list of figures which is ex-
tremely interesting. and what Is more,
they are facts obtained here at the
War Department. 1t gives all the ages of
the different men in classes who enlisted
from 1851 to 1860.
"The number of enlistments at ten
wears and under was %. eleven years and
under "a. twelve years and under 225
thirteen wears and under 300, fourteen
years and under 1,525. fifteen years ana
under 1O4,9s7. sixteen years and under
2s1,O51, seventeen years and under ST.
s91. eighteen years and under l,15l. 4Ss,
twenty-one years and under LOS, I9s'
twenty-five years and older 1891. TWEEN
tv-fiye years and older 46e26. and forty
four years and over 1901.
IF you examine the enlistments under
the ages of eighteen to twenty-one. you
will find the backbone of the army lay
there. OF course, in the younger ages up
