Supreme Optimism.

jamestown, N. D., July 25.-The SUI
preme optimist has been found in
Stutsman county. A farmer living in
the southern portion of the county,
whose crops look about as enthusiastic
as a steel engraving of a mortified
lung, and who is domiciled in a dis
trict where rain is forgotten word
in the farmers vocabulary, made the
Following statement to a local banker
today: This dry weather may seem
like calamity, but as a matter of fact
it is just the thing to put all the farm
ers on their feet"
The banker expressed surprise and
asked for an explanation. The opti-
mist answered that the drought. would
put the farmer on his feet because
this was the first season for years that
he couldn't afford to buy an auto.
This man is in a class with the
farmer who extracted consolation from
the crop failure by remarking that it
wouldn't be necessary to blow in good
money on binder Irvine, at any rate.

morning as the switching crew was
at work in the yards in the city, Amos
Williams fell between two box cars
and was run over, being terribly
mangled and bruised. The right arm
was dislocated, the right hand badly

The injured man was Immediately
taken to DR.. Labbitts hospital where
the doctor dressed the wounds, and
realizing that several amputations
were necessary he called DR.. T. c.
Patterson of Lisbon to assist him.

tween the ankle and the knee. The
man had severe bruises all over his
body, the most severe being in the

BIG CHICKEN YEAR.
Boom of Prairie Fowl ForeteIIs Fine
Shooting Season This Fall.

Devils Lake, N. D., July 25.-Hun-
tiers of this city assert that this will
be a great year for prairie chickens.
The extended drouth has not by any
means hurt the chicken crop, and ev-
erything indicates that hunting will be
the best in years.
The drouth did not come until after
the chickens were Matched, and there
has been no rain or hail to kill them
off since Matching. AS the grasshop-
pers have been almost a pest in this
section it will mean we'll grown and
plump chickens. The ducks, however,
are very scarce, as the dry weather
has dried up their usual haunts, and
as a consequence they have practically
left the country.
