bushels or wheat IN Williams County, |
with the price at $1.00 per bushel, half
a million dollars would be put in cir
culation amongst our farmers and |
, business men this is only fair price
/ which should in one estimation be
paid this year at Williams County
points.
Half million bushels at SO 1-2
, cents the present price paid means
! SAT- 800 or direct loss of $4,000 to
, the farmers and incidentally the bust
ness men Of the county.
No wonder the A. S. of e are being
endorsed by business men as we'll as
farmers.-Ray Pioneer.
While the railroad officials are con-
fident that they can handle the north
western grain crop in excellent shape
this year, they are considerably work
ed up over the situation. Efforts have
been made to have the farmers Of
western Minnesota and North Da-
kota lay in their winters coal supply
as early as possible: The warnings,
howeyor have fallen on idle ears, and
railroad officials expect the annual
eleventh hour scramble,
Gas long as they have the sun Shin
ling on their necks, the farmers d9
not think about the cold weather."
said a railroad official. "They have
} already forgotten the frozen toes they
eNberiehced couple of winters ago."
Railroad officials say that probably
not more than $4,000 tons of coal are
now stored in North Dakota, which is
less than 20 per cent Of the normal
consumption. The dealers have their
bins stocked and they cannot rep1en-
ish them until the farmers have haul
ed away some of the supply.-Ex.

being demonstrated IN this locality
this season. In the vicinity of Sher-
wood there are several excellent small
pieces Of corn that will yield an abun-
dance of feed both forage and grain.
P. J. Dalton has thirty acres which he
is cutting with a corn binder he took
out on Monday, and he states that he
expects to put in seventy acres next
wear. Ten acres of wheat grown by
Mr.. Dalton on corn land on the Perry

Ieround and promises to yield five to
ten bushels more per acre.-Sherwood
Tribune.
+ A most deplorable condition and
Imenace to the public health has ex-
listed for some time IN the northeast
quarter of town and should be looked
latter by the proper authorities. There
sia spot only short distance from
the resident district which has been
used as a dump ground for garbage
and offal. and even dead animals have
been deposited on this pile Of rubbish.
About a week ago this pile was set on
fire and burned for several days, Gre
ating a terrible smudge and emitting
most unhealthy, ana certainly not a
very pleasant odor. The fumes that
Ipermea.e ed the homes in that section
of the city were at times unbearable.

| Warden Hellstrom of the North Da-
kota Penitentiary came out strongly
lin favor OF the enactment and enforce
ment of the prohibition laws as a pre-
ventative of crime in an address de-
livered at the, recent American Prison
Association congress. Warden He'll
strom said: when I took charge OF
the North Dakota penitentiary l was
not a prohibitionist. I believed rath-
er in the application of sumptuary
laws. But want to say to you dele
gates to this congress that after be-
ing in office two years in state
where prohibition is in force, if l had
nv say 1 would not only prohibit the
manufacture of Intoxicating liquor,
but I would absolutely prohibit It's
importation into this country. l am
convinced that 80 per cent OF the
crime Of this country is due either di-
lrectly or indirectly to intoxicating
liquor"
| i am entirely opposed to woman suf-
faree. not because hate the women,
but I love them and want them to full
lfill the mission God intended. II you
play in the arena of politics you will
be covered with its dust. Nowhere are
women so honored as in the United
4 Estates. This is due largely TO the
chivalry and courtesy Of the men, and
Il you are protected BY the male sex
