NEW HOTEL OPENS
Commercial Hotel on Second East
Opens to Public This
Week.

The Commercial Hotel on Second
street east opened its doors to the
public Tuesday of this week, and
Landlord r. s. Cook is receiving
many compliments on his splen-
did establishment. This new struc-
ture is Roundup's first concrete
block building and it surely is a
credit to the city. The building is
2SxSO feet in size, 1000 blocks be-
ing used in it's construction. 1t was
designed by Architect Schoeller of
New York City, and the work was
in charge of V. f. Berthlet of Mil
waukee.
The eighteen sleeping rooms are
elegantly furnished and electric
lighted and provisions made for a
steam heating plant as soon as oc-
casion demands. The main floor,
which has been divided into two
store rooms, is already rented for a
restaurant aud bar.
Tie new hotel represents an III
vestment OF approximately S12 800,
and is a most substantial addition
to Roundup. Landlord Cook is
worthy OF a full measure OF success
in his venture.

his threshing crew and paid So
to get them out in an auto.
After a nice supper, good bed
and warm breakfast, they de-
cided they were too strong to
work, and hoofed it back to
town. Sam heard of what they
done and happened to meet the
two ON the sidewalk just as
they struck town, and let us
arise to remark that they re-
ceived just what they needed,
and it didn't take long for 'em
to get it.

Cut Out the SIush.

There's lot of truth in the
following sensible item from
the La Rue (Ohio) News:
News is news, and any time
a newspaper man transforms
news into puffs and taffy,
boosts or soft soap, he pros
titutes his profession and
ceases to be a newspaper man
except in name. No sensible
newspaper man will puff an
individual, merely to curry
patronage. 1t is his business
to tell the truth in the news
and publish the news as news
and nothing else. Just be-
cause he wishes to work little
patronage out of somebody is
no reason why he should in
flict lot of slush upon his
readers instead of Legitimate
news. But the putting habit
has such a hold on some news
paper editors that many of
their patrons expect a lot of
soft soap and slush about them
selves or they will throw their
patronage to the other fellow.
They are always fishing for
compliments and are sore if
they don't get them. But if
they do get them the other
readers of the paper are dis
gusted. 1t is better to disgruntle
select selfish and egotistical
few than to nauseate a whole
community of readeit,. The
sensible newspaper man will
give every item of news all the
space it deserves and cut out
the slush, it matters not even
if it concerns the best people,
of his community. The so-called
best people" are no better
than any body else when it
comes to the serving of plain,
Legitimate news. The same
rule applies to churches, lodges,
clubs and societies, and the
newspaper man who would
succeed in the end will adhere
strictly to the news and elm
mate the soft soap, the puffs
and the slush.'

age Attack on bud" McNett.

Charles Harvey, a transient
thresher from Illinois who has
been working with the Stewart
machine, executed a bit of carv-
ing about noon Monday on the
neck of James ("Bud") McNett.
A number of threshing hands
were gathered near the alley
back of the Wik restaurant and
some liquor was passed. Har-
vey was in the party and was
pretty we'll under the influence
of liquor evidently the scrap
ping kind. He drew knife on
Richard Kraft and the latter
only escaped injury by the in
terfence of d friend. Harvey
then left the party, saying he
would soon return. McNett
and friend arrived on the
scene in the meantime and
when Harvey again appeared
Bud asked him to join the
party and have a drink.
NO sooner had the invitation
gone forth than Harvey whip
ped out a knife and took
slash at McNett's throat. The
weapon cut a cash about three
inches long and half an inch
deep on the left side of McNett's $
neck and missed his juglar vein
by a scratch. He was at once
taken to a physician and the
wound dressed. The injury is
not serious, although it is al
most a miracle that the cut
was not fatal.
Harvey, who has been here
only short time and is known
among his companions as
Blackie,' was Immediately
placed under arrest. He will
have hearing before Magis-
trate John Smithson tomorrow.
Harvey has the appearance OF
being a tough character. He
could have had no grievance
against McNett and his act was
probably due to an overdose of
prohibition whiskey.

pound, just as quickly as a
half bushel of wheat. 1t costs
something to haul them to mar
ket; the railroads get paid for
their transportation to Mime
apolis or Duluth. 1t pays not
to raise weeds.
Weed seed are distributed in
the fall in several ways. One of
these is through the very CON-
mon practice of letting cattle
and other stock run at large,
and their droppings carry hard
coated seeds intact from one
field and barn to another. An
other common carrier of weed
seed is the threshing outfit,
particularly the racks of the
bundle teams. All racks
should be thoroughly cleaned
before coming onto farm, and
the machine itself swept off.
Where it is is known that weed
seed like mustard is in the
straw, the latter should be
burned. The same may be said
of heavy stubble ground, al
though to burn stubble is not
considered a good thing for the
land, as it removes a growth
the soil needs in order to keep
it in good tilth. Where it is
necessary to use seedy straw
for bedding, the manure should
be composted before hauling
to the fields. Again you loose
something OF value, but to de-
stroy the weeds is of still great
er importance. The feeding of
oats without cleaning should
be discontinued. They carry
in them a large amount of dust,
and about all the weeds the
farm is heir to hide in them
over winter.
Sow only clean grain in the
spring. Rotate your crops.
Have the land into grass for a
year or two in every five or six.
Grow crop of corn or potatoes.
If you summer fallow keep
the weeds down. Destroy the
weeds along the road and edges
of the field. Feed clean grain.

Late Sum mer Control Of Weeds.

1t would be practically i'm
possible, says H. !. Hughes of
the agric ultural college in a
recent issue of the jamestown
Capital, to estimate the cost to
the farmer of the growing,
threshing, and distributing of
foul weed seed.
An instance may be men ton
ed where farmer bought
what he thought to be bronze
grass seed. With it he sowed
80 acres of his farm, which
came up over one-half quack
grass. In this case there was
clearly a mechanical mixture of
the seeds. The fraud wa de-
liberate. He will find it a very
expensive business to rid his
farm of the pest introduced in
the seed sown.
Weeds cost the farmer more
from the time they show their
heads until they are threshed
and safely housed for another
sowing than any other one
thing / know of, in view of
their absolute lack of value to
him. They take fertility out of
the soil. That must be account
ed for some day. They drink up
the moisture that should 90 to
the crop: that lessons the yield
and quality, and in dry year
may cause failure. The ill effects
follow up during the succeed
ing season. The reserve of
moisture that should be in the
ground is lowered, and the
crop OF, the next year suffers
from drought unless there is an
abundance of rain. Weeds shade
the growing plant, and often
overshade it to it's destruction.
They increace the twine bill.
They mean added draft and
wear of the machinery. It takes
a little longer to shock than to
shock the same amount of grain
without them. The threshing
goes little slower. just a bit
more help is needed, and they
trip the weigher, pound for

Systematic Marketing Key to Success

The development of the large
industrial corporations, and
their financial success, is due
in large measure, to system
attic marketing. BY that is
meant, the adjusting the sup
ply of articles, to the actual
demand thereby securing a fair
profit on the investment of
capital and labor.
That the marketing of pro-
ducts, whether from the farm,
or the mandatory, by adjust
ing the supply to the demand
is the sure way to obtain a fair
price for the products admits
of no doubt. On this subject
John d. Rockefeller is quoted
as saying Il attribute my sue
cess in the business world to
the fact, that / have always in
sisted on receiving a fair price
for my services and a just
profit on the capital l had in
vested and have been able to
do this by attending to my own
business, supplying my Gus
toners direct, as their needs
required, and doing entirely
away with middlemen, the
farmers of the country must
learn to manage their own
business, they do not need the
aid of 1niddlemen.' >
The society of equity has
instructed the farmers to mar
ket their crops without the
aid of middlemen, to sell their
products according to the plans
formulated by the society; these
plans have been worked out by
the ablest men in the field, and

SANITARIuM At DuNsEITn
State tuberculosis Hospital Will be
Located Northeast Of that Village.

Grand Forks special: DR.. J..
F. Ruediger and DIR. J.Grassick
have returned from trip to
the Turtle mountains with G..
J. Lord of Cando, where as
members of the committee
named by governor to select a
site for the state tuberculosis
sanitarium, they made final
selection of a site for the in
stitution near Dunseith. 1t had
been generally agreed by the
committee after investigatirn
the matter that a site should -
selected somewhere in the
Turtle mountains, on account
of the high altitude and pure
air of that section. Some months
ago several other points in the
Turtle mountains were visited
and inspected by the commit
tee, and the trip this week was
made to settle the matter of a
site finally. The committee
includes Governor Burke, who
was elected chairman of the
committee, DIR. Ruediger, who
was made secretary, DR.. Grass
ick, state superintendent of
health, DIR. Fannie Dunn Qu-
ain of Bismarck and C.. J.
Lord of Cando.
Neither Governor Burke nor
DIR. Quain were able to make
the trip at this time, but fully
concurred in the choice of the
remainder of the committee
after their second visit to the
site. The site selected is two
and one-half miles northeast of
the village of Dunseith and on
the south slope of the Turtle
mountains. The committee
decided to purchase 100 acres
of section 80, township 1852 of
range 72 and the location there
is contingent on the people of
Dunseith donating an addition
al eighty acres, giving the
sanitarium 24O acres of land.
This section has an altitude of
about 1900 feet and the air is
as pure as can be found any,
where. The committee con-
slider this the best site in the
state. The land has a south
frontage and is protected on
the north, northwest and north
east, and there is a superb view
out over the valley below ex-
tending for many miles to the
east. On the east or lower
side is beautiful Lake Shuttle,
with lake frontage of a quar-
ter of a mile on the sanitarium
land. There is a fine building
site, in a lively grove of oak
trees. Nothing will be done
by the present committee to-
wards the sanitarium building,
no funds or authority being
provided for that purpose, but
a general scheme of beautitying
the land will be arranged and
decorative trees and a shrub
berry set out under the direction
of the committee.
