MUST RE.PLANT CORN. :

Farmers in all parts Of the state

many thousand acres in the entire

loss Is not considered so great COM

OLAF HAAGENSEN
The Farmer Candidate

Olaf Haagensen, of Palermo town
ship, Mountrail county, is candidate
for the Republican nomination for
sheriff OF that county, to be settled by
the voters on June 20. The Independ-
ent does not usually take the pains
to give candidates of ether counties
attention before the primaries, but
knowing Mr.. Haagensen as We have
for the past dx or eight years,
we feel that word in his behalf, may
be Of interest to the Independent 3
large list Of subscribers throughout
that county. In the first place, Mr..
Haagensen is q farmer, and will no
doubt, receive the solid support from
the farming element, which will be
right. The farmers deserve to have
something to say as to who shall rep
resent them in county affairs. Mr..
Haagensen has been prominent in
township affairs, since he has resid-
ed in that part Of the county, during
the past eight years. He served as
constable fro m1903 to 1907, and az
a member of the school board from
1903 to 1906. He was township trea-
surer for two years and Justice OF
the Peace two years. He is a fine
FELLOW, good square citizen, and his
candidacy is meeting with favor every
where. There are five candidates for
this nomination, and Mr.. Hagensen
ought to be an cas- ywinner. The In.
dependent would be pleased to see
him win, and we believe he will.

Weather and CI0ps.

While the fruit crop of the
county has been injured BY the
severe frosts, it is believed there
will still be an abundance Of all
kinds, except peaches.
Vegetable gardens have been
hard hit. The drug stores have
found it necessary to order and
recorder garden seed. Potatoes
are not badly injured. The rains
have come at the right time and
a bumper crop of all farm pro-
ducts may be looked for.
It is said that more land is
being cultivated in the county
this year than ever before. More
machinery is being used and
better farming methods in many
instances are being adopted.
Looks like there's going to be
plenty of hog and hominy in

RE MODELLING THE
TELEPHONE EXCHANGE

For the past two weeks five
equipment men have been over
hauling the switchboard equip
ment of the local telephone ex-
change. The switchboard has
been recalled entirely, a new
section for the exclusive use of
long distance connections has
been added and a vast deal of
work done on that wonderful and
complicated apparatus. s.
The capacity of the switch
board has been increased to 440
phones, and many new devices
added which will insure greatly
improved service.
A visit to the telephone ex-
change is well worth while.
There's a net work of wires run
ming into the switchboard which
gives you brain-storm merely
to look at. The young lady op-
orators, with the new breast
transmitters fastened over their
heads, with wonderfully deft
fingers are doings strange stunts
which makes it possible for you
to talk to your next door neighbor
or to man in New York, and
but a wee fraction of time has
passed before the connection is
made.
Miss Loveda Ore is the effici-
ent chief operator who also has
the long distance wire, and her
assistants are Miss Fay Reese,
Miss Lille Anders and Miss
Bessie Carmichael.
