LAND BREAKING OUTFITS .
RUN DAY AND NIGHT


Three new gasoline breaking outfits
were unloaded at Belfield during the past
week by Messrs. Foster, Stevenson and
McCutchan and these machines will be
put to work just as soon as the land il
in condition. There are thousands of
acres of land tributary to Belfeld that
will be broken up this spring for The
first time.
There is such a demand for custom
4plowinG that some of Z the outfits will
not be allowed to cool off until the sea-
son is too late for fax uops. Tive of the
new breaking outfits will be fitted with
powerful headlights. similar to those
used on locomotives, and will be run
night and day, week days and Sundays,
through all kinds Of weather until it is
too late for seeding. The land will be
broken after seeding time and all the
machines will be kept busy all summer
if the ground does not become too dry
for practical work.

MEMORIAL Plate
Pipe Organ In St. Johns Episco'
pal Church, a Memorial To Rev
c. E. Dobson, Will be Mark
ed With Handsome Plate.

For some time the organ at St. John s
Episcopal church. which is memorial
to the late Rev: C. E.. Dobsnn, formerly
rector of the parish. has been inscribed
with small marker of celluloid on
which is printed appropriate wording.
This inscription is located in small
panel in the front of the organ.
The new rector, Rev. J. S. Bray6eld,
has been instrumental in having the
celluloid marker changed to something
more substantial and this week brass
plate was ordered. 1t will be about is
inches long and about S inches wide
and will be of heavy brass. The plate
will bear the same inscription but the
letters will be cut in an unusual man
ner. The words will be sunk into the
metal and then enameled in red and
black, bringing out striking contrast
and showing up the inscription strongly
This plate is expected to arrive about
Easter time and will be placed in the
same panel in front of the organ. 1t will
be great improvement over the other
memorial and will last long time.

BAIRD PROMOTED
Popular Corporal, Roy Baird,
Elected Second Lieutenant of
Company K to Succeed the
Late Frank Baker.

An election was held by members of
Co. X, North Dakota National Guard,
after drill Monday evening for the pur-
pose of electin9 a second lieutenant to
fill the place made vacant by the recent
death of Frank M. Baker. The voting
was harmonious and Corporal Roy Baird
received almost the unanimous vote of
the company. There were scattering
votes for Sergeants Roy Dodd and Donald
Mars and for Corporal Harry DeFoe.
The promotion of Corporal Baird to the
position of Second Lieutenant is en-
inently satisfactory not only to the men,
bers of the company but to all citizens
who are interested in the welfare of
Co. K. He is one of the most popular
members of the company and is fitted
in every way for capably filling the
place.
In target practice he is especially
good and his appointment as range
officer will soon be announced.
This will give new stimulus to tar
get practice as Lieut.. Baird was one of
those representing this state at the
national competition last summer and
he qualified as an expert rifleman. He
is greatly interested in military work
and has been actively connected with
it for quite number of years. In
business life he is a member of the law
firm of Heffron & Baird.

. SCHOOL! LAND SALE A!
Stark County School Lands Viii
be Appraised This Summer and
Placed on Market For First
Time Next Fall.

One.eighteenth of the land in every
county is school land or two sections In
every township, usually sections is and
s.. This is true in Stark county but up
to the present time none Of the school
lands have ever been offered for sale az
there has been no demand. Recently
Superintendent, Lloyd RAIDER has received
several communications asking when
the Stark county school lands will be
placed on the market.
He has taken up the matter with the
state land commissioner and finds that
it will be impossible to ananee for q
sale of school lands in this county before
next fall. 1t is necessary for all this
property to be carefully appraised by q
board, consisting Of the chairman of the
county commissioners. the county
auditor and the county superintendent.
They have to visit every section of land
set apart for the schools and it will take
quite lot of time to 20 over the whole
county.
The board expects to receive word any
time now to start in with the appraisal
and by next fall this valuable land will
probably be available. The land cannot
be sold for less than $40 an acre but in
almost all parts of the county it is worth
great deal more than that. .ts
