FROM BANKRUPTCY
TO BANK BALANCES
THIS rs RECORD OF FARMERS
WHO HAVE GONE INTO Dali
RYINe AT LlTcHvlLLE.

jamestown, N. D., Aug. Pas
long as you have good water and can
raise plenty Of grass there is no rea-
SON why this should not make q very
rich dairy country" said J. N. Learn
Of LitchvilIe. MINI, who is here WIS
iting his sister, Mrs. A. B. Allen, ZV1
South Seventh avenue.
Mr.. Learn was a MEMBER OF the
committee which raised the money Tor
the first cooperative creamery IN
Litchville, in 1894. They worked nara
and secured $1,000 from the farmers
and the business men put in an equai
amount. Now there are twenty-Iouf
cooperative creameries in the county
and the stock is owned by the farmers
who want all the profits from the
business and have sufficient means OF
their own for the business without
calling upon any of the merchants to
assist them. In fact, the three banks
of Iitchville have deposits OF
II SOC. 600 and two-thirds of 1T is the
credit balances Of the farmers.
Mr.. Learn says up to FIVE or six
wears ago sufficient dividends were
declared from the first cooperative
creamery not only TO pay off the first
indebtedness but to erect fine stone
building costing $4,000, exclusive OF
she machinery. 1t is used as a model
for that region and many other
creameries are being patterned after
it as new buildings replace the OLD
plants which have been outgrown.
And this creamery at Litchville draws
from a territory with a radius OF not
10 exceed a few miles for in each d.
recfion at not to exceed nine miles Is
another creamery.
In the short time of seventeen years,
since the farmers of that region went
broke trying to raise nothing but
grain. the price of land has doubled,
the indebtedness Of the farmers has
been turned into bank balances ana
the extensive line Of credit when
used TO be such burden to the bust
ness men has been greatly reduced If
not wiped out. The farmers patronize
the home merchants, pay very largely
cash. or settle their accounts with
their cream checks and what at one
time was a bankrupt region has been
turned into a profitable agricultural
territory where the farmers like to
milk cows because Of the high profits
In it. They have stuck TO bossy''
and they fully realize what friend
she is.
Mrs. learn and daughter accompan-
led Mr. Learn and are enjoying their
FIRST visit to Jamestown. Mr.. Learn
is not unacquainted with North Da-
kota. having made his headquarters
In the state for some time when on
the road for a big machinery house.

so that the front tires were grazed by
the engine. The escape was SO narrow

HEROIC MOTHER
MAY LOSE CLAIM
THE CONGRESSIONAL ACT ONLY
STANDS BETWEEN MRS. sIMu.
TEN AND LOSS OF HOME.

Minot, m. d., Aug. 24,-After living
fve years on a claim and supporting
two children. Mrs Varaoa Simunten.
whose husband dropped out Of sight
five years ago, may lose her homestead.
according to decision handed down
by Judge Witten, superintendent of
the Berthold Indian reservation open
ing today. Judge Witten ruled that
she cannot prove up on the flve-year
plan without establishing her hus
bands death, Seven years absence
from the state is required in order to
establish death by presumption.
Mrs. Simunten filed on a homestead
nine years ago when she was unmar-
rted, proved up by communication and
later married Nicoli Simunten. One
winter night Nicoli went out to do the
chores and that was the last seen Of
him. The police conducted a search
for several years, but without avail.
1t is thought he met with foul play.
Twins were BORN to Mrs. Simunten
few weeks after her husbands dis
appearance. and she has worked hard
to support the family, hoping that she
could prove UP the claim at the end of
five years. Her husband never took
out his first papers and that makes
matters worse. A special act Of con-
gress would be required to give Mrs.
Simunten title to the land unless she
can raise $3.50 to prove up by commuta-
ton as the agent of her husband. This
she cannot do.
Crops are ExceItent.
That crops in North Dakota are ex-
cellent is the statement of w. C..
Wampler Of Dayton, o., and p. M.
POUCH, of Camden, o., who came to
Minot to register in an automobile,
travelling 1900 miles. "Our first inn
pressions Of North Dakota are FIRST
class" said Mr.. POUCH today I'VE were
particularly impressed with the wheat
crop in the Red river valley. we are
going to Regina, Canada, to look over
the country there and then will return
to Ohio"
Many foreigners are declaring their
intention to become citizens OF the
United States at the once OF the dep

Canada and others from Norway, Ger

Miss Anna 0lsness, who registered at
Ryder d few days ago without having
declared her intention OF becoming q
citizen, was informed by Judge Witten
today that shA can register a second
time at Minot by taking out her flrst
citizenship papers. The first application
win be destroyed.

Cooperation Needed In Road Work.
There is no sort of public work in
which folks are interested generally
where the principle of cooperation
could be followed to better advantage
than in the care Of the public high
ways. In some sections this fact seems
to be recognized, in some others not.
Especially. is there need of this CO.
operation in those sections where earth
roads are the rule and where the char
acter of the soil is such that there Is
need of working 1t at critical time
following heavy rains or wet seasons.
Particularly is this true of stiff clay or
adobe soils. which can be advanta-
geously worked and leveled only when
they possess the proper amount OF
moisture and the right consistency.

'STRAWASFACTOR
IN ROAD BUILDING
Found to Give Best Results
| When Mixed With SOIL
Can SUPPORT HEAVIER LOADS.

Though This New Method Costs More,
Il Makes a Road That Will OutIast
Gravel and Cinders-Straw to Play
an Important Part In the Good
Roads Movement.
Wheat straw will play an Important
part in many miles of new good roads
which will soon be built in this coun-
try. Straw has been used for years on
roads in Washington. 1t has been
found to give the best results when put
on wet and mixed with the soil. When
scattered loosely on the road it ignites
and the work of weeks is lost.
The newer plans are better yet Tor
the application Of straw. In the first
place, the roads will be plOwed and
graded and brought to crown. When
the roadbed has been narrowed and
made level the straw is put on to a
depth of six inches. A disk cutter Is
used to cut the straw up and mix 1t
into the earth. If all the straw works
on until a cushion is formed. A steam
roller packs the earth and straw into
q hard mat as durable as asphalt and
road which will turn off water If the
grade is right.
The new method Of mixing the straw
with the soil costs more than that of
throwing straw into the ruts and
makes a road that will outlast gravel
and cinders Gravel is expensive, and
the cost Of hauling is heavy. In all the
straw will be used with the clay soil.
For $25 mile year the state high
way commission of Minnesota can
take the most sandy road in the state
and turn it into highway which can
be worked with road grader. by the
use of straw, sawdust or clover, which
ever is the most convenient. 1t has
been doing this in various parts of the
state for the last few years. paying
for the improved roads from the ex-
will ask the legislature for more mon
ey to extend this work to other parts
of the state and will extend it just as
far as the legislature sees fit to permit
it by the limit on the appropriation.
Near Cambridge, Mimi. an expert
mental road was made with sawdust
several years ago, but the supply at
the local sawmill gave out. and straw
was used during the past season and
with better results. The straw works
into the sand, forming a vegetable
loan which can be handled by the
road grader and will also support
heavier loads than are possible with
the sand in it's natural condition.
G. W. Cooley, state engineer, also
has shown the people what can be ac-
complished by constant watch Of the
roads, as is done in foreign countries,
by maintaining man on a stretch Of
road all the time. Last season road
six miles south of saltwater. Mimi.
was under experiment. The year be-
fore a road leading from St. Paul into
Dakota county was watched. For $25
a mile for the season these or other
roads can be kept in such condition
that they may be used every day dur
ing the experiment.
