TAKE CARE OF THE MACHINERY

Farm machinery is often sadly
neglected when not in use. 1t is not
uncommon to see binders, cultiva-
tors, grain drills, plows, etc., left out
all winter in the field where they
were last used, or in the barn-yard
Here they are exposed to the sun,
rain and snow at all times of the
year, and the actual depreciation
from such exposure is more than the
wear caused by use. To leave ma
chinery exposed to all kinds of wealth
er has the same effect as it would
have on house furniture, livestock,
or anything that nature has not pro-
vided with protection against the
elements
One of the best investments on the
farm is a good machine shed in which
all machinery can be put when not
in USE Statistics show that such an
investment will mean a return of 80
per cent on the money invested 1t
increases the life of the machinery
SO to 100 per cent. Even at the
present price of lumber, machine
shed, 16 by 80 feet, we'll built, on a
concrete foundation, will cost only
about 1928. Such a building will
house all the farm implements used
on the average farm. To figure the
life of such a building at Is years,
with small outlay for an occasional
coat of paint, will make the annual
cost of sheltering all the machines
on the farm less than $40 a year.
Such small annual cost will pay
many fold in it's saving on the de-
probation of the machinery.
A little time used in overhauling
and cleaning up each piece of ma
chinery, when one is through with it,
is we'll spent. Tighten up all the
bolts, saturate the bearings and COW
er all wearing surfaces with a good
grade of machine oil. This will stay
on from one year to another, and
keep the parts from rusting. Plow
lays and all polished parts should be
cleaned and covered with oil Or grease
of some kind, to keep them in good
condition. There is no part of the
farm operation at which little time
can be spent to better advantage
than looking after the farm machin-

THE COW IN THE SOUTH.

1t is sly trick of the o1eo men
to get the Congressman from the
South persuaded that it will be to the
best interest of their constituents to
let the cleo makers color their grease
when the amount of cotton seed oil
used in making it whole year
amounted to one and half cents an
acre on the cotton area and the dairy
interests in the Cotton States were
107 times greater. Congressman
need to be informed about the grow
ing interest in the COW in the South.

DO 1T YOURSELF.

To "plowing match" out in Il
linois, a month or SO ago, 5000
came; and the farmers-men who
own big prairie farms-buckled
down to the task of blowing half
acre of land just as we'll as they
could. Such contests would be we'll
worth while here in the South. One
of our greatest needs is more knowl-
edge of how to do the fundamental
work of farming and a truer appre-
citation of what it is worth to do it
we'll. We are altogether too toler-
ant of slipshOd work; and until the
farmer himself learns how to do
farm work, and do it we'll, it is sheer
folly for him to expect good work of
the ''trifling negroes" he employs

old COUNTY SEAT
Fight REOPENED
CAVALIER WILL AGAIN TRY CON.
ILLUSIONS WITH PEMBINA
FOR COUNTY SEAT.

Pembina, N. D., July 16.-With the
granting by the board Of commission
ers of Pembina county of the petition
presented by the people of Cavalier for
a vote on the question of removing the
county seat from Pembina to Cavalier,
one of the hottest local fights of the
year begun. From now until Nov. 8
the county seat removal topic will be a
live one in this county.
Pembina county is one Of the Oldest
in North Dakota. The first settlement
is believed to have been made near
the present site Of the city of Pembina
in 1886, and since that time there
has been preserved a fairly authentic
record Of civilized settlements.
The county organization was formed
nearly forty years ago, and Pembina
city has always been the seat of gov
eminent. Pembina is in the northeast
corner while Cavalier, which now seeks
the county seat, is in the central dis
tricts. Fourteen years ago there was
a contest for the county seat, Cavalier
failing TO land the required two-thirds
vote, although 1t had a majority.

hit BY STRAY BULLET
Peculiar Accident at Maddoek--RifIe

Is Hit,

Maddox Standard: A rather serious
and what might have proved a fatal
accident occurred in our village last
Tuesday afternoon when Marjorie
wager was hit by a stray bullet dis
charged from a rifle in the hands Of
Frank league. Marjorie had gone
after him into back room where he
went to get the rifle and she remained
in there until after he had returned
into the space back of the counter In
the meat market. when he turned and
not seeing the girl he pointed the rife
towards the floor In the corner near
the door to the back room and fired.
The bullet struck the floor somewhat
in line with the middle of the door,
and after boring along in the flooring
upwards an inch and a half and prob
abaly quarter of an inch deep. it
seems 1t must have struck nail from
which it glanced through the door into
the back room, striking the girl in the
leg between the thigh and the knee,
just as she was coming towards the
door. Fortunately the bullet had by
this time spent most Of its force,

final CHAPTER OF
TRAGEDY WRITTEN

Lansford, N. D., July 16.-The final
chapter in the tragedy that startled
this city last week has been enacted.
The lifeless clay of William A. John
son lies in the little country burying
ground at old Renville.
There is not much to say this week
in addition to what has already been
said. Mr.. Johnson was murdered at
Portland, Ore. a week ago Monday
for his money, and his body placed
in a trunk and taken to the depot
where it was billed out to a little
town. The baggageman thought there
was something suspicious about the
trunk and notified the police, who ar
rested man named Jesse Webb and
a woman who was his accomplice in
the crime. Webb confessed. The
money, amounting to $1,000, was re-
covered. Speedy justice will not doubt
be melted out to the murderers, but
this will not heal the wound in the
aged parents hearts.

BLAIR WOOL Clip IS
SOLD FOR 20 Cents

Dickinson Press: The big Bair clip
of Billings was sold last week to Jeri-
miah Williams Co. of Boston at about
20 cents per lb. This clip is estimated
at 100000 pounds and is the largest
in the United States. At last years
price this clip would have brought rs
cents, and as the London and Aus
trailian prices are firm, our wool
growers cannot see why their woods
should not sell at 81 cents to % cents.
The only argument the buyers have to
offer to substantiate their contention
for lower prices is the fact that Presi-
dent Taft has intimated that the wool
schedule is too high. The wooden mills
of the east or running on short time,
and the buyers say it is because of fear
of change in the tariff; others claim,
however, that it is for the purpose
of lowering prices to producers. 1t is
reported at Richardton that clips have
been bought at 16 cents. In Billings,
Mont, reports last week were to the
effect that good clips were going at
Is cents to % cents. 1t is intimated
that consignment firms are willing
to advance around Is cents.

nerves, some subluxation of the spine.
Women in partially paralyged con-
dition. with useless limbs and dragging
feet, have been made as we'll as ever
in their lives by Chiropractic adjust
ments, and Geo. A. Newsalt, Chiro-
practor, has many testimonials to the
saving power of his spine adjustments
in cases like these.
A case in point is that of lady
from a small town some miles from
Fargo. When she came to DR.. New
salts Office accompanied by her hus-
band and daughter, they were obliged
to support her as her paralyzed limbs
refused to carry her weight. Doubtful
and suffering she came, after a num-
Der of adjustments to go away with as
perfect use of her limbs as ever in
her life.
II Is not necessary to enlarge upon
cases like this. The facts are so pow
erful as advocates of Chiropractic as a
means of removing disease that ii is
only necessary to quote facts. Chiro.
practic is in advance of any other
means of making people well; it Is
positively beneficial, a reasonable dem
onstration of an established fact.
Geo. A. Newsalt, ID. c., may be con-
suited daily at his offices in the SAY
ings & Loan" DIR. Newsalt urges upon
all sick ones to come to Fargo and take
advantage of his Chiropractic Adjust
ments to remove the cause of disease
from the body.

BANKERS REPORT
ON The CROP Loss
CASHIERS FROM DIFFERENT
PARTS OF THE STATE RE-
PORT INCREASED ACRE
AGES WILL RETURN
DIMINISHED YIELDS.

Darlington, N. D., July 16.-Reports
received today and yesterday by Allen
s. Miller of the Ross-Davidson bank
ing syndicate, from cashiers of the
firms banks throughout the state in
dictate the the average yield of wheat
this year will be about five or eight
bushels, varying from one to two
bushels in the northern part of Ben
son county around Balfour. The
average normal yield for these dis
tricts is a little over fifteen bushels.
Flax seems to remain, according to
these reports, the most hopeful crop
and the cashiers estimate that it will
yield from to IL bushels excepting
Benson county.
Oats are estimated at twelve to flf-
teen bushels on the average, varying
from twenty down to three and four
bushels. Barley will average from
eight to ten bushels, which will be
of good grade.
At a number of points the early
sown grain was plowed under and the
land replanted to millet in sufficient
time to be benefited by the recent
general rains. Thus in many sections
the farmers will largely recuperate
their losses from the millet crop.
Hay will be very scarce, all points
reporting a big shortage on this
staple excepting around Balfour.
All points reporting were visited
by good rains on the night of Mon
day, July 10.
It is gratifying in the reports to
note the increased acreage in corn
land, although the crop Is planted
now mainly for fodder.
The reports from which the above
estimates are CLEANED represents
twelve points in Benson, Ward, Nc
Henry, Mclean, Wells and Stutsman
counties.

ATTEMPT TO THROW
OUT Fl. YATES VOTE
FIRST TIME INDIANS WERE AL
LOWED TO VoTE-MAY MEAN
CHANGE IN STATE RE-
SUITS,

Mandan, N. D., July 16.-Interested
parties in the recent primary election
have appealed to the judiciary to throw
out the vote of Fort Yates precinct and
the court has signed an order re-
curing the county canvassing board to
show cause on July 10, why they
should not recanvass the Morton coun-
ty vote and leave out the Fort Yates
vote. The reasons that have made
possible the demands are that Fort
Yates and the Standing Rock res
ervation are not in Morton county
and that the Indians have no right
to vote. Judge Crawford signed the
order last Friday and the matter will
come up before the adjourned term
of court on its opening day, next
Tuesday.
This was the first time that 1t
had ever been attempted to vote the
Standing Rock Indians and 1t is
natural that it has met opposition
for the results apparently show that
an unnatural influence has dictated
the politics of the Reds" The pre-
cinct cast about ninety votes and al
most solidly supported the admins
tration which is responsible for the
positions of the officials that have
charge of the reservation.
| Another important question,
whether the Standing Rock reservation
| is a part of Morton county. also en-
| tiers into the conditions. Though the
reservation has been thrown open 1t
| is conceded that it is not yet an or
| ganized part of the county and for
that reason has no right to vote with
Morton county.
| Just what opposition the movement
will meet is not known but is expect
ed that those who have been ia
vored with the vote from the Fort
Yates precinct will attempt to hold
up the validity Of the votes. On ac-
count of several close contests. in both
state and county candidates the vote
of this precinct may be decisive, and
even though Judge Crawford decides
in the affirmative 1t may be appealed
to the supreme court.

SPREADING VIPER
KILLED AT SHELDON,

Sheldon Progress: While cross
ing the tracks near the depot
Tuesday afternoon Doctor Hunt
ley discovered a snake in the
grass along the sidewalk. He
picked it up with his cane and
threw it into the street. He noticed
that 1t was different than the
ordinary garter snake and at first
took it for a RATHER. The crowd
of men who were standing around,
at once armed themselves with
bricks and stones and soon sent
the intruder to the happy hunt
ing grounds" Upon closer ex-
animation it proved to be a
spreading viper. They are much
more poisonous than the rattle
snake, but not so dangerous in
that they do not strike only when
cornered. They spread out the
sides of their mouth and bodies
and blow the poison. There are
few of these snakes In the sand
hills, but they are very seldom
seen in the immediate vicinity.

Calvin, N. D., July 16.-What might
have terminated in very serious ac-
cident was narrowly averted in a
runaway. Mrs. Chas. Kramar, Mrs
f. Hoffman and Mrs. Thos. Hunt were
driving to Sarles and after getting
well started on their way it was
found that the team was pretty hard
to manage and to make matters worse
II was discovered that there were no
martingales on the horses and when
the ladies pulled the horses up the
rig would bump against the animals
heels. The horses started on the run
and coming to corner made a quick
turn, upsetting the rig and throwing
the three ladies out. While they were
not seriously injured Mrs. Hoffman
received bruised shoulder and Mrs.
Hunt was confined to her room for a
few days. Mrs. Kramer escaped in
jury beyond the slight shaking up
from the fall.
