The complaints were sworn out by

ing so bushels Of the same grade. The
law upon which the complaints are
based is section 2251 of the 1875 stat

companies storing grain must ON de-
mand return to the person storing the
same grain of an equal amount and
grade or pay the market value thereof
Messrs. Steiner and Freeman stated
that they had some trouble with Cor
nelius over his 1906 crop. but that
had been settled. He still had in store
with them from last years crop the
amount of wheat named in the COM
plant. but had never demanded the
same or pay therefor. They were will
ing at any time to give him either
one as he desired. They waived ex-
animation before Judge Kline, and
were bound over under $500 bonds,
which were furnished. Attorney
Weber appeared for the state and d.
j. O'Connell for the accused.

ANOTHER FERRY At BISMARCK.
Business Men Of Bismarck Are After
Trade.

Through the efforts of the Bismarck
Commercial club all that territory
south and west of the. river will be
brought into close touch and made
tributary to Bismarck.
This has been brought about by the
establishment of a ferry across the
Missouri river at a point about eight
miles south of the city.
For number of months the Com
mercial club has been working on this
project, and it is now an established
fact. and the people of Bismarck will
fully appreciate this good work on the
part of this business mems associa-
ton.
The announcement of the successful.
issue of this matter was made at the
Commercial club meeting held last
week. An arrangement has been
made with Capt. Grant Marsh to run
the ferry, which will be a traction
ferry, augmented by his gasoline
launch on windy days. The CONNER.
cial club has built house boat for
living quarters for the captain, and
the ferry will be placed in operation
as soon as the ice goes out
The ferry will be at the old cross
ing until such time as the farmers OH
the other side of the river can grade
an approach to the new crossing. To-
day President Conklin and Secretary
Young will make a trip into the south
ern part of Morton county and advise
the farmers of the new ferry and
otherwise push the matter.
A committee of three members OF
the club was appointed to wait upon
the capitol commission and urge the
parking of the capitol grounds along
lines taken up with the last admins
tration. but which have been lying
dormant since then.
The matter of resuming the mark.
ct days was taken up and fully dis
cussed, with the result that commit
tee will be appointed to take hold Of
the proposition and arrange for a
series of market days during the war
months. A number of conveniences
for farmers and their wives who will
bring in produce for sale will be pro.
vided and cash prizes offered for the
best in all lines of agricultural and
dairy products so that not only will
the good wife Of the farmer be able
to sell her farm wares at good price.
but will have chance to compete for
substantial piece of money with
others and the farmers will compete
in the same way for the genuine long
green. The club is very much in
earnest in this matter. and the mer-
chants present expressed determina-
ton to enter into the scheme and
help with special bargains on those
days 10 the end that eventually the
market days will be bright spots in
each month to the farmer and the
trad asman.

warning against increase of the mill

est were adopted, one providing for 75-
cent gas for all district establishments

When removed from the scorching

DuRUM WHEAT.
Grows Where Other Kinds Won't
Makes Lots Of Muscle.

Makes Lots Of Muscle.
There is steadily increasing pro.
duction Of durum wheat in Northern
Minnesota and North Dakota and in
the arid or semi-arid sections of other
states.
The big Touring mills have not as
yet adapted their machinery to it's
proper grinding, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. They find it too rich in
gluten and too hard for their present
installment of rollers. The elevator
men don't handle it freely because it
necessitates special bins. But the
exporters take it. eagerly.
1t is sometimes called macaroni
wheat because its main use up to this
time has been for the manufacture
of macaroni. The French, however,
who are accounted the best cooks in
the world, have employed it quite ex-
tensively in bread making, and it is
asserted that the bread made from it
is most nutritious as we'll as light and
appetizing.
There is no reason why it should
not be. Gluten is muscle former.
In 100 ounces of lean beefsteak there
are eighteen parts of muscle form
ers. In 100 ounces of ordinary bread
there are seven to eight ounces of
muscle formers, in 100 ounces of po-
tatoes two ounces. in 100 ounces of
milk four, but in 100 ounces of maca-
roni or bread made from durum wheat
there are said to be from eighteen to
twenty ounces of muscle forming ma
terial.
Admitting the food value of this va.
riety, the temptation to the farmer
whose land is adapted to it to plant
it is almost irresistible. 1t is a plant
that stands drought much better than
other wheat plants. 1t is so hardy
and thrifty that it is usually exempt
from rust and smut and bugs.
The average yield is high-often
from SO to 100 per cent greater than
that of the old varieties of wheat
grown in the same district 1t seems
| certain that durum is destined to
prove a blessing to the farmers in
| sections where the rainfall is de-
| ficient or unreliable. It makes a
most nutritious feed for domestic ami
mails, upon which they will thrive and
attain a degree of health that will
! make them command high prices
eiter from butchers or stock fanciers.
