liss and Wallin. Speeches followed and
It was agreed that Judge Coriiss should
take the short term, and thereby be-
come the first chief Justice Of the new
state. II is apparent that those who
desired to spend the tax payers money
have overlooked an opportunity as
this was a historical scene and an
event OF much interest to al successive
ages and one Of the walls of the capi-
told should be adorned with a noble
painting portraying the principals on
this interesting occasion.
The supreme court judges decided to
hold the first term at Fargo and set
the second Tuesday OF January as the

bacon cannot be produced by feeding
great deal Of corn, because 1t would
produce a carcass with too much fat
in proportion to lean and even the
fat would be apt to be lacking in firm
ness to produce good grade of bacon.
Pigs grown on clover, peas, and bar
ley and skim milk, shorts and feeds
Of similar nature, will be the best
adapted for bacon purposes, and these
are the feeds that can be grown most
extensively or obtained in this state.
And for that reason it does seem as
though 1t would be to the interest of
our farmers to raise a breed and type
of swine that is adapted to converting
these feeds into profit The weight of
the bacon type hog must be OBJ
tanned largely in the form of growth
and by using some of these feeds in
the way of forage, the pigs can be
grown very economically; without the
necessity Of feeding great deal of
expensive grain. To be sure 1t is nee
essary before they are sent to mar
ket to feed enough grain so that they
will carry reasonably good covering
Of flesh. But 1t is not necessary to
have them carry a thick covering of
flesh, such as the lard type should
possess, when they are sent to mar
ket
Granting that bacon breeds will
make as economical gains as the lard
breeds and that they will bring as
good price on the market and pos
sibly a little better there Is another
fOf yo& In -
The lack o. prolificacy is a thing that
is working against the profitable pro-
duction of the lard type at the present
time. The bacon breeds are much
more prolific than the lard breeds,
which should enable the farmer to
make them profitable to raise They
produce large vigorous filters, while
the lard breeds in many cases are dis
appointing in this respect. This is a
point which should bear much consid-
Grafton.
In view of the facts stated it is evil
dent that there are many points In
favor of raising the bacon type of
swine in North Dakota, and It is the
opinion Of the writer that they will
be grown more gen rally in the next
feew years. This will depend to a large
extent on how much encouragement
the packers are willing to give the
raiser by the price they will pay for
them. The farmers must depend on
the packers for the market for this
class of hogs because the local meat
markets do not care to handle the
bacon hogs because the lard type of
hog Of medium weight will satisfy
their trade better. The reason for
this is evident because their carcasses
are adapted to be utilized for making
bacon inpreference to, be retailed out
In the form Of chops, ham, etc.

SECOND ENTERTAINMENT
Of the Mems Club.

Were you at the first entertain ment of the Mems Club? Too bad that belated thunderstorm came up just in time to keep away a good many who would otherwise have gone. However in spite of the shower we had a fair sized crowd and those who did attend felt amply repaid as it was one of the best entertainments we've had in the town for a long time. The second entertainment of the series is to take place on Friday evening of next week, November 26, and it promises to be a "corker" that will be enjoyed by the children as well as their eld- CTS. It is to be an evening of magic, prestidigitation and justification and you all know what fun such a per formance means, so be sure to re- member the date. and arrange your plans so as to be there. Get your seats early. And speaking of seats, there are a few of the course tickets left for the remaining three enter tainments which the committee will sell for the small sum of soc for the three, by which you will save 15c over the price of the tickets bought singly. Remember. Friday, Noyem- Der 26, and bring the children.

GOOD ROADS.
Ten Thousand Dollars Appropriated
 by Town Meeting, last Friday.

The special town meeting on Fri day last was called to order by As sistant Town Clerk Oscar Pltzsehlei and Daniel c. Beers was chosen chairman. A. T. Nettleton intro dueed q form of resolution that Road Commissioner Macdonald reeom- mends to towns applying for state aid for roads, the resolution appro- priating sl0,000, and advocates its adoption. Questions by members oi the meeting brought a statement from Attorney w. J. Beecher as to the amount the town would be re- quired to pay. In case the full amount of the s10,000 be allotted, 1t would mean that the cost to the town, inclusive of the previous sl0,O00 appropriated, would be $5OOO, But as Newtown would in all probability not have the full amount allotted, the cost would be cne-Quarter of whatever be allowed under the new allotment and $2.5O0. MT Beecher also read MT MacDonald's circular letter to the selectmen of the state. George w. Stuart I ade a few remarks, stating that we ought to go slowly, and put some of the road money on the out side roads. The road work is largely an experiment. The meeting then passed the following resolution:
 Town of Newtown, Fairfield County,
 November 19, 1909.
 Whereas, Chapter 264 of the public Acts of 1907 covers an act entitled "An Act concerning the Improve ment of Public Roads" and whereas the legislature of 1909 has passed, under Chapter 1855 and 231, acts amending this act, therefore be it
 Resolved, that the Town of New town hereby declares it's intention to expend the sum of $10,000 for the construction or improvement of a section or sections of highway in as cordance with and under the provi- sions of these acts, and in conformity with the provisions of these acts, we hereby appropriate the sum of S10,000 or so much thereof as will represent the prorata amount of our proportion of the appropriation al- lotted to the town by the highway commissioner, and the treasurer of the town is hereby authorized and directed to pay over to the State of Connecticut after the work has been completed and accepted by the State Highway Commissioner, said amount on demand.
 Resolved, that the selectmen be notified and directed to make ap- plication as indicated in Chapter 264 Public Acts of 1907, as amended by Chapters 135 and 231 Public Acts of 1909.

Rev Alexander Steele was in Cam bridge, Mass, Saturday, and wit messed the Yale-Harvard football game. Harvard put up one of the greatest fights for victory a liar yard football eleven ever did against Yale, but was beaten on the stadium, 8 to 0. That score is accounted for by two drop kicks and a safety. Yale had half a dozen chances to try field goals, but this does not mean that it had the crimson backing up; on the contrary, Harvard showed as much power and several times more than its time-honored rivals, though the fact is the blue-jerseyed men happened to work the ball down into Harvard territory all the time and to keep the play almost all the time on that side of the field.

The Town hall was well filled Fri day night, at the presentation O. Evelyn Gray Writings three ac comedy, Mrs Briggs of the Poultry Yard" by local society people, wht were complimented on all sides fol the marked success of the entertain ment. The cast of characters was a: | follows:
 Mrs Briggs, a woman of business,
 Miss Fannie V. Daniels Ralph, John c. Beers Jimmy, Hermann Tiemann, Jr Alvira, Miss Minor Melissa, Miss Marguerite Beechel Silas Green, near relative,
 Charles G. Peck MT Lee, wealthy neighbor,
 H. N. Tiemanr Virginia Lee, his daughter,
 Miss Ethel Peck Daisy Thornton, her friend,
 Mrs Wallace Mitchell Mrs O'Connor, with no liking for
 goats, Miss Carrie George Mandy Bates, Whose tongue will
 Stumble, Mrs H. N. Tiemann
 The comedy is full of amusing sit nations and was made the more in teresting by the local hits interjected into the lines. The play opens in the home of Mrs Briggs, widow, and a woman of business. This part, on which rests the success of the whole performance, was splendidly taken by Miss Fannie V. Daniels, who cer- tainly scored a great success in her first appearance on the local stage. She carried her part with a vigor that gave confidence to the other per formers. The play opens with Mrs Briggs" at the wash tub, and her re- cital of her troubles, and the anus ing situations created by her children "Alvira" and "Melissa, took with the audience. These two parts were capitally taken by Miss Minor and Miss Marguerite Beecher. Charles G. Peck as "Silas Green" near rela- tive, was a distinct success. He brought down the house as he read to Mrs Briggs" some rather original news items from the last issue of the Bee.
 The parts of Virginia Lee and Daisy Thornton, her friend, were ad- mirably taken by Miss Ethel Peck and Mrs Wallace N. Mitchell. Miss Caroline George as, Mrs O'Connor" and Mrs H. N. Tiemann as Mandy bates," whose tongue did stumble, won much praise for their clever work. John c. Beers in the part of Ralph" Herman Tiemann, Jr., as Jimmy" ana H. N. Tiemann as "Mr Lee," wealthy neighbor, did ex- cellent work and completed the strong cast of the evening. Bedding people present were so pleased with the presentation of the play, Mrs Briggs" that they invited the con- pany to give the comedy in Bedding, December 8, under the auspices of Christ church of that town. Hav- ing achieved so marked success it is to be hoped these people will be induced to present other dramas be- fore the winter season is over.

The Christmas Century will be notable for the first instalment of Mime Modjeska's Memoirs, which are to run though the year. These memories of one of the greatest geniuses of the modern stage, and one of the most admired and beloved women of our time, were completed not long before Mme Modjeska' S death in April last. They tell the story of career probably not exceed ed in romance and importance by that of any other Continental actress who has visited America and Eng land and abound in "reminiscences of interesting persons in many walks of life, and in wise and useful ob- servations on the art of acting in general, as well as on the charac- teristics of contemporary dramatic artists in both Europe and America.

ALABAMA PROHIBITION.
Injunction Against Its Enforcement is
Denied.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 13.-
Judge Thomas G. Jones of the
United States district court for the
middle district of Alabama today
denied the injunction asked for
against the Carmichael prohibition
law. Contrary to the expectations
of the petitioners, Judge Jones did
not pass upon the constitutionality
of the act, holding that this was a
proper question for the courts of
the State.
Judge Jones decided that the
brewing company complaining had
not complied with the requirements
of the Alabama laws to do business
in Alabama, and therefore had only
an indirect interest in the effect of
Statewide prohibition in this
State.
The decision declared that to
grant temporary injunction on
the assumption that the prohibition
law was unconstitutional and then
shortly thereafter for the State
courts to uphold the law would be
doing the complainant an injury
rather than giving relief.

DOINGS OF STATE FARMERS UNION.
A Number Of important Matters We're
Acted On.

Jackson, Jan. 12.-Financial re-
lations between the Union and the
State banks seem to be very har-
monious, and no radical action of
any kind on this subject is expect
ed. The address of President Os-
car Newton, Jr., of the Mississippi
Bankers Association, delivered at
last nights session, was we'll re-
ceived, and gave evidence of the
fact that the financial institutions
are willing. to give every possible
encouragement to the cotton.hold-
ing plans of the Farmers Union,
by making liberal advances on cot
ton in storage, and accepting ware
house receipts as negotiable instru-
ments.
A resolution will be adopted be-
fore adjournment fixing date of the
observance of "Diversification
Day." at which time all local un-
ions will hold sessions and discuss
ways and means of raising more
food and feeding crops at home.
This custom was established last
year, the date observed being
March 21st, and it proved quite
successful, the States corn acreage
being largely increased as result.
The Farmers Union has seventy
cotton warehouses in operation, and
in his report President Hightower
urges that this field of activity be
given its full share of attention
during the present year. He hopes
to see the number of warehouses
doubled before the next cotton
crop is in readiness for marketing.
A resolution will be adopted de-
nouncing the efforts of persons who
have no connection whatever with
the organization to organize negro
branches of the Farmers Union,
and it is expected that aggressive
hostility towards this movement
will be manifested during the
coming year.
The session this afternoon is be-
ing devoted chiefly to a discussion
of financial matters, and more sys-
tematic methods for carrying on
the work of organization and men,
bership enrolment.
President Hightower's plan for
the establishment of Farmers
Union Produce Exchange, with
headquarters in Jackson and branch
Offices in Vicksburg and Meridian,
to which farmers can ship their
butter: eggs, chickens, and other
farm products, for sale on commits
sion basis, has met with much IA
vor, and will doubtless be endorsed.
Incidentally, the endorsement of
the produce exchange idea may
save the State business agency from
being abolished. President High
tower is very friendly to the busi-
ness agency, and is among the fore
most advocates of the movement to
continue its existence.
