Better Stay at Home

After galloping all over the
Saskatchewan country, where they
went last spring in search of
a land that had more milk and
honey to the square inch than the
Golden Valley offered. Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. McAfee are back in
the states as far as Beach, and
William declares he doesn't care
for some more British territory in
his-he's had any. Canada is a
fine country-to 60 from, pro.
vided one sets his face in the d.
rection Of Gods country. This
is what William did. and he
now back to remain under the
good old stars and stripes. He's not
the only one who has gone forth
from the Golden Valley in search
Of greener. fields-allowed an ig.
nus fatuus to lure him away from
the one genuine spot where man. s
efforts are rewarded in the most
bountiful manner. Nearly all Of
them return (if they're able),
satisfied that this valley offers all
that any country can, and consid'
erably more than most of them
which are cracked up higher.

came in from Beach last Saturday
evening. and is spending a few
days with his numerous old
friends in the city and county.
He would have been here FIVE
hours earlier. but while he was
shaking hands with his friends at
Mcmillan the train pulled out and
left him, so that he finished his
journey on the way-freight. He
is looking and feeling the best,
and is glad to get back to a dry
climate after having lived so long
in the rainy country out west.
We have not had an opportunity as
yet to get from him a reliable
statement as to the claims Of the
land agents that all they have to
do to get rain for their crops in
the Golden Valley is to appoint a
committee of three to go to
church. ring the bell and hold a
special prayer meeting and the
water comes down in a beautiful
shower, but we shall try to get
what are the real facts before he
goes back. We don't believe all
these land agents tell US, even if
Beach is in the wet belt, and we
believe Mr.. Arnold will give us
the truth. jackson County wis.,

FLAX YIELDS

Joe Szurdera Finds It a Profitable
crop-:--$47.5o per Acre Is Not
So Bad for an Off Year

There is a slight margin of
profit in raising fax at the pres

strated beyond the shadow of a
doubt that this is so.
Take the case Of Joe Szurdera,
for instance. He lives three or
four miles southeast Of this city
and raised some flax this season.
He is a careful, painstaking
farmer. and prepared his soil and
put in his seed in q farmer-like
manner. rhe field was planted
early and did we'll, the crop pre-
senting the appearance in the field
Of being as good as anything Of

He threshed it the other day

result was somewhat astonishing.
He found that at the present mar.

And still some people wonder
what it is that boosts the price Of

Beach Business Of Northern Pacific
Shows Increase Of One Hundred
Per Cent.--And Then Some

Wow. They raised it for the
size of the pile and then some.
This isn't the story Of a poker
game-it is the story of the busi-
ness handled at the Beach depot
for the month Of August. COM
pared with the business Of Aug
ust, 1909. The old year suffers
very much by the comparison, as
will be noted.
! In August. last year. the amount
of business footed up the tidy
sum Of $23, ,476. This year the
months business is twice that
much, and 81, ,852.95 more.
The ticket sales exceeded those
Of last year by $2,l80.23.
rhe freight received greater by
81, ,778.16.
The freight forwarded greater
by S13.741.73. Owing to the
early harvest this year, there
we're 81 carloads Of grain shipped
in August this year, as compared
will. two for the same month last
year,
rhe express business shows a
gain Of 81. 1921.
Extra baggage collections
amounted to $4,000, as against
S91. 90 last August.
The commercial messages
amounted to 238.5l more than
they did in the same month last
year.
OF the commodities received
there were 19 carloads more Of
machinery. 2 of wagons, 4 Of
horses. 13 of engines, l of lime. 2
of stoves, 16 of coal, of salt, 2
of gasoline, 1 of CATTLE. II Of
brick, IL Of gravel, 8 Of sand. l
Of furniture. l of ice and 43 Of
lumber.
This heavy increase in business
was handled by depot force Of
nine men, an increase Of three
over last year. The wages Of
these nine men amounted to
$634.92.
And still we have no depot
building worthy Of the name.
Perhaps the business will keep on
increasing until it assumes such
proportions that it cannot possi-
bly, be handled with the present
equipment-then maybe we'll get
aa new depot.
The two rural routes operating
from the Beach postoffice are be-
ing very poorly patronized and
there is danger Of them being
discontinued if the people slong
the routes do not put up boxes
and encourage the service. To
make route permanent at least
Is families must provide boxes
and receive their mail over the
route. As there are a great many
more than Is on the different
routes it is hoped that they will
see the advantage of a daily mail
service and each do his part to
see that the routes will be made
a permanent thing.
