Regan OF Devils Lake
Shot byTenant on Farm

Devils Lake, N. D., Nov, 25.-It has
been several weeks since B. B, Regan
appeared In the llfneIight, but he got
there yesterday all right-with both
feet.
Early last spring Regain rented his
farm for a term of years to Mr.. Stan
ley. 1t was freely predicted at the
time that Stanley was inviting all
kinds of trouble and annoyance when
he commenced to deal with Regan, but
he seemed to be willing to take his
chances. Soon after the lease was
signed up and he took possession the
trouble commenced. When Regan was
released from Jail after serving a SEN
itence for beating up his wife he want
ed to gain possession of his farm.
Stanley knew his rights and stood
upon them, at the same time warning
Regan not to tramp down the grass.
But Regan who hadn't had any trouble
for reveral weeks, kept hunting, and
this morning he found it. He had
warned Stanley that he would get
him" but Stanley kept saving wood

STAMPS GAN BE
USED ONLY IN U. S.

1t has been discovered that an error
was made in the new issue of postage
stamps lately sent from Washington
to the postoffices for sale.
Under the international postofTice
rules the denomination Of the stamps
is required to be given in Ramon nu-
merals, as these are understood In ali
countries. On some Of the new stamps
the value OF the stamp has been given
in English letters, as Tive Cents and
because of this error an order has been
issued to the effect that these stamps
must not be used on foreign mail and
they will be used up for domestic spur-
poses only.
None OF the stamps in which the
error was made have been received al
the Fargo Office.
The wrongly printed stamps will be
in great demand by collectors OF odd
stamps, as they will be very, rare on
account of SO few ever being in actual
use.

WORST PREDICTS
FOOD SHORTAGE

Washington. Nov. 24.-'Tn less than
fifty years the United States will be
hard pressed to supply food for its
citizens, and it is, therefore, none too
early at this time for The president to
be trying to focus public sentiment
on the problem Of improving the con-
ditions OF agricultural life. Years
probably will pass before the country
as whole~will be awake to the great
importance OF the question and 1t is
wise statesmanship to begin the agi-
tation and the work Of popular edu-
cation now"
So. says Pres. John H. Worst OF
Fargo, president of the North Dakota
Agricultural college.
Farmers Must Help Selves.
He added:
In the last analysis. howeveT, the
farmer must be h; own helper. It Is
him what is necessary for the i'm
1t can be brought about; but, in my
judgment, having done this, the work
OF the. government should end The
farmer himself should take hold OF
the case and himself rppfy the peme-
dies
President Worst made the foregoing
remarks concerning the work OF the
country-life commission, named by
President Roosevelt to study condi-
tions on the FARMS with view to re-
porting some plan for their improve
ment.
Unless something can be done to in
terest country boys in agricultural
work and stop their steady movement
to the cities, President Worst believes
that the time Will come when IN this
country the lamentable conditions will
prevail which prevail all over Europe.
where the great bulk OF the farm lands
are owned by the capitalists and the
farmers are mere tenants, OF the peas
ant type, poor and underfed and in
sufficiently clothed.
Favors Smaller Farms.
II indorse the view taken by the
country life commission in favor OF
small farms continued President
Worst. "That 10 OF the highest inn
portances With small farms the rule,
the coming OF the absentee landlord
will be made increasingly difficult.
We need, too, to begin to pay some
attention to the work OF renewing the

through Europe, visited farms in tt
