CRAWFORD
IS WANTED
For The Supreme Bench. Our
People are Proud of Judge
w. c. Crawford's
Record,

The Search-Light, weekly publica-
tion at Fargo. thinks that Judge F. E.
Morgan will not be candidate for the
Supreme Bench in 1912 on account of
poor health and that Judge W. c.
Crawford Of Dickinson is the logical
man for the position.
That Judge Crawford is emiently
fitted for supreme court judge, is
generally conceded, but the people OF
his district would like very much to
have him continued in his present
position. However. if Judge Morgan
does not consent to become candidate
again. it is quite possible that Dick
inson will furnish the next supreme
judge for North Dakota, in which event
a new district judge will be selected.
and speculation is already rife as to
who the attorney will be.
The Fargo paper says:
Judge Crawford of Dickinson is an
able man, fearless and impartial, and
would make very strong member of
the supreme bench. He has an excel
lent legal mind end has demonstrated
that he not only can be fair. but wants
to be fair and square, and yet is fear
less in his administration of the law.
He has upheld and will uphold the
moral end Of the law. as it should be
upheld, with the legal end, and looks
upon all statutes with an impartial eye
and with view of applying them
through the judiciary for the intent and
purpose with which they were enacted.
Crawford is judge upon whom all
could unite. who would do credit to
the supreme bench and to the state. and
man who If he is in the field, and
The Search-Lieht is of the opinion that
he may be. there could be no issue
raised against him which would make
anything in the way of an unpleasant
or unclean campaign. 1t would put the
judiciary in the right light and would
make clean cut and statesmanlike
campaign, and would relieve at least
that end Of the political situation from
annoying complications. The Search
Light believes that he is an eminently
fit judge to become member of our
highest court, and it believes that the
consensus of public opinion will be for
him when the matter is brought to the
attention of the voters of the state.
While it is early 10 suggest candidates.
it has seemed appropriate in this case
to The Search-Lisht to suggest man.
who il appears is so we'll fitted, clean
personally and entirely competent both
from legal and moral standpoint. and
one to whose candidacy there could be
no objection of any valid force. The
Search-Light hopes that his name will
. be given careful consideration before
, the time comes that candidates are put
in the field.

FOR DRY FARMING CONGRESS

The mex, International Dry Farming
Congress will be held at Colorado
Springs, Colo. from the 10th to the goth
of next October. For the purpose of
making an exhibit to show what North
Dakota can do under dry farming con-
ditions. and the progress that has been
made, it is very desirable that exhibits
be displayed during this Dry Farming
congress.
For the purpose of securing the best
exhibit west of the Missouri river in
North Dakota it is desirable that the
best grain should be selected and pre-
served. We would like to ask the CO.
operation of all the farmers toward this
end. Grain for exhibition purposes
should be sent to any of the following:
L. r. Waldr0n. Dickinson.
j. 3. Stoddard. vice president. Senti-
mel Butte.

A. A. Liederbach. vice president,
OdhUdJc.
B. H. Crawford. vice president, Stark
County Dry Farming Association. Dick
inson.
Fred N1aser, sec. treas, Stark County
Dry Farming Association, Dickinson.
These gentlemen will act as collecting
agents for such grain as is sent for ex-
hibition. Il is the intention that all
Drain should be finally assembled at
Dickinson. where it will he prepared
for exhibition purposes. All GRAIN COL
lected should be properly tagged with the
growers name. location of farm and
what other information as would tend
to show the advantage of cultivation
and dry farming methods generally.

ling Of the soil.
AT the conclusion of the afternoon
talks. company of the people went
into the fields again and so interested
were they that they remained out until
good shower caught them.
One of the pleasing features of the
picnic attendance was the number Of
farmers who came from distance,
several being in from Dunn county,
some coming 80 10 40 miles for the
meeting.
Directors Peter Elliot, Frank Sanford,
Nugent and Secretary Yoder Of the state
agricultural college were out from Fargo
and Valley City and seemed much in
terested in the, Work carried on at the
station. They left in the evening via
auto for the Hettinger station.
Many of the people in Dickinson were
very kind in giving visitors free auto
rides to and from the station.
Regarding the first picnic at the Dick
inson experiment station President
Worst of the North Dakota Agricultural
College wrote Supt. L. r. Waldron on
July II as follows:
Yours of July 14th, together with
newspaper clipping, announcing the
Farmers Picnic, duly received. think
the plan Of entertaining the farmers,
as outlined, an excellent one and only
regret my inability to be your guest
on that occasion. expect to sail from
Duluth on Saturday. the 22nd, for a
tour of the lakes, by way of rest and
recreation. Otherwise should be glad
to accept your invitation. hope,
however, you will have an interesting
time and that you will be able to con.
vince the farmers of the west and
southwest that the darkest cloud has the
silver lining.
| have studied the situation with
some degree of care and whatever other
may think, have more faith in North
Dakota today than ever before. We
will have to change our system of farm
management to suit natural con-
ditions, shat g all. Old Dame Nature
7 Is pretty kind and sometimes indulgent
but, in the long run, she demands
obedience. To defy her and her regu-
lations is sheerest folly. believe
that within ten years large and pros
porous population in western and south
western North Dakota will be boastinG
to the world that one OF the chief ad-
vantaees is just enough moisture every
year. neither too much nor too little.
Very tt6ly yours,

Or. NoLTE AND BROTHER
CAME FOR ELMER's BODY

Dr.. w. C. Nolte Of Dazey, N. D.. and
Fred Nolte of Dexter. Iowa. came to
Dickinson on Sunday morning to take
charge of the body of the unfortunate
suicide, Elmer Nolte, who put an end
to his life on the South Side July 13.
In conversation with member of
the PRESS force D.. Nolte said that he
could in no way account for his brother
taking his life. There were no entane-
ling associations here OF elsewhere, no
financial embarrassments and nothing
in family life that would in any way
lead to such an act
Young Nolte had the care of older
brothers after the death of his father and
mother and when the time came for
getting his education, the brothers. Dr..
and Fred Nclte. came to his help and
in due time he graduated from the
Island Park College of Illinois.
After taking his pharmaceutical
course Elmer Nolte was with his
brother in Dazey, later working in
different drug stores before coming 10
Dickinson.
Inquiry from the brothers eliminates
from the case anything like sensational
ism, and the only possible clue to the
act was lonesomeness. The different
surroundings from his past seemed to
have depressing effect, and while not
showing in his business relationship it
was by his letters noticeable. Tired
Of life,'' seems to besthe only solution
for the rash act. Iss &. ..,. s=.,t s.s
on questioning Dr. Nolte relative to
Elmer's finances, he said No. ttees

EBERnARp WILL lRRleA1E
CROOKED CREEK FARM

j. A. Eberhard of Emerson came in
from his Dunn county farm, the old
Will Crist place. last Friday to be on
hand for the farmers, institute and
picnic at the experiment station Satur-
day. Mr.. Eberhard is an old soldier,
but is still young looking and is a
hustline farmer. He likes to keep up
to date in his business and is always
ready to learn more about the scientific
methods.
Mr.. Eberhard recently returned from
his old home in Houston county. Minn..
where he had been spending month.
While in Minnesota he disposed Of his
Houston county property and he says the
proceeds of the sale will be invested in
Dunn county dirt. This year he has
200 acres in crop. half of the land
being in fax which gives prom Use of a
pretty fair crop.
Last year Mr.. Eberhard set out good
sized grove and now has ash, cotton
woods, apple trees, currant bushes and
shrubbesy growing in good shape. All
the cottonwoods were grown from cut
tings and he intends to continue setting
out cuttings each year. The ash were
started from seed and have made a re-
markable growth.
Right now this energetic farmer is
contemplating an irrigating system.
His farm is 20 situated on Crooked creek
that nearly every acres can be watered
at small expense. Mr.. Eberhard will
purchase a rotary pump and FIVE h. p.
gasoline engine. The creek. which
runs the full length of the farm, has
many deep holes, and the irrigatine
plant can be moved from one place to
another until the entire farm has been
flooded. The pump has capacity Of
nine barrels per minute and it should
not take long to water the land. Mr.:
Eberhard's operations will be watched
with much interest.
