A transient by the name of Martin
Miley, was taken in by the police
Sunday and fined IS and costs in Po-
lice Magistrate Murphy's court for
intoxication. Miley claimed to have
given a party, known by the name
of Slim, $3.50 and said that Slim
went to Moorhead and returned with
two bottles of booze, which were the
cause of the trouble. It was labeled
Clarke's Whiskey, the same kind that
has appeared in police court on sew
eral similar occasions, a small quail
tity of which seems calculated to put
man out of business and render
him insensible to all worldly or ce-
lestial surroundings at short notice.
Miley hadn't the cash to liquida.e his
fine and $3.50 costs, but put up a
note for 500 given him by Red
river valley farmer as security. On
thush squaring himself with the law.
the defendant requested return OF
one of the pint bottles, which still
had some of Clarke's special brand
left in the bottle. This was refused
by the police on grounds of pre-
cautionary nature.

CORN FlOURlSHlNG
THROUGH our STATE
Crop in the Northwest County Looks
Well-Ideal Flowing Conditions
by w. G. Palmer

Divide is one of the new countries
of North Dakota. 1t is the north
west county in the state. Bordering
Canada on the north and Montana
on the west. The Great Northern
and the 500 railroads cross the east
half of the county. The writer pass
ed over these railroads on the 23rd
and 25th of September and is writing
of what he saw along the right of
way.
This section is quite thickly settled
as compared to some sections in the
state. There being an owner for
nearly every quarter and few own
more than quarter. The buildings
as yet are not large, though on some
of the farms there are as good build
ings as can be found anywhere and
especially barns. A number Of the
farmers have planted trees and these
have as rule been planted where
they will do the most good. Being
in the form of windbreak and at
a sufficient distance from the build
ings so that the snow will be kept
out Of the way.
AS one rides along fields line both
sides of the road. Wheat and fax
are the principal crops.
What was the most pleasing was
to see fields of corn. Some had been
touched by frost little but only the
tips of the leaves had been touched.
perhaps or 6 inches. the rest Of
the plant being green. Between
Ambrose and Crosby the corn had not
been touched by frost at all but stood
as green and 'luxuriant as rich soil
could make it.
There are patches of clover and al
falfa, these are making luxuriant
growth, indicating that these crops
and especially the alfalfa will do
we'll.
The soil is in an ideal condition for
plowing and many of the farmers are
taking advantage of it, this will go
a long way toward insuring a good
crop for next year.
The. business men of the county
are active in encouraging the farming
interests. Ambrose. held a harvest
festival on Sept. 23rd. A large tent
had been provided for housing the
farm exhibits. Liberal prizes were
offered. The farmers responded by
bringing in samples Of their farm
products. The vegetable exhibit
was one that it would be difficult to
duplicate. They had also provided
a program that included addresses
on civic and farm topics. Crosby
held it's market day on September
26. They offered liberal prizes for
farm products. With such co-opera-
tion between the farmers and the
business men and with the natural
advantages the county promises to
become one of the most prosperous
in the state.

coming to hear me. The problem is
a simple one, raise the crop that the
soil is best adapted to. Cultivate the
land thoroughly. Be honest with
yourself. No matter what anybody
tells you, you can't get something
for nothing in this world and IL you
do good work you will get good re-
turns.
I wish you one and all good luck.
