COMMERCIAL CLUB or NEW
ROCKFORD AND OTHER
BODIES FILE CON-
PLANTS.

New Rockford. N. ID, Now 22.--
There Is marked shortage OF cars in
this section and the New Rockford
Commercial club has taken steps look
ing to relief in laying complaint be-
for the state railroad commission.
Similar complaints have been placed
before the commission at other places
and railway officials are being corr
responded with.
The car situation in New Rockford Is
shown by figures secured by the COM
mercial cl4D. Already 16s cars Of
grain have been shipped. The local
elevators contain $4,000 bushels of
grain, while the farmers have about
900 bushels OF grain stored in their
own warehouses or III the fields, some
of 1t being unthreshed.
At some points in the state there has
been trouble securing cars for the
shipment Of potatoes and similar pro-
duce, and there has, as result, been
complaint from shippers OF those pro-
ducts
With reference to the condition along
the New Rockford to Leeds branch
Of the Northern Pacific, the local
commercial club is seeking concerted
action having addressed communfca-
tions to the various cities that are In
terested, urging all of them to take
hold by supplying information rela-
tive the number of cars already fur
nished, the amount of grain remaining
to be shipped out. and whether or not
there has been any delay in handling
shipments.

ed. while the other ~.arty may be pro-
shibfted from contracting a second

THE REASONABLE WAY.

Strong vigorous men, women and
children hardly ever catch cold--it's
only when your system is run down
and vitality low that colds and coughs
can get foothold.
Now isn't 1t reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough Is to build
up your strength AGAIN.
Mr.. Patrick Wren of ~. Birming-
ham, Ala, knows about this. He
says. Il caught q bad cold a year ago
and had a bad cough for a long time,
but vinol relieved II completely and
built up my health. yiuol Is the best
medicine ever used or heard OF for
coughs and colds"
This splendid cod liver and iron
remedy does not smell or taste like
cod liver oil, but Is 50 delicious that
children love to take 1t. Yet 1t has
the strengthening value OF cod liver
oil, with tonic, blood building iron.
Chronic bronchitis Yields to vinol
because it builds up the system In ell
weakened and rundown conditions
You can get your money back any
time il vinol does not do all we say.

the first fruit of Mr.. Horizons labor.
II the plan that President Horton is
working on bears fruit, the lake region
will next season be dotted with sign
boards at cross roads. But the old
index finger with the inscription eff
teen miles to Devils Lake will be a
thing OF the past. In its place will be
a modern display board with an arrow
pointing towards Devils Lake and an
inscription something like this: Eff
teen minutes to Devils Lake" The
automobile has taken such a strona
hold on this section that country travel
isGkronfined to this method almost en-
tirely
To get movement like this started,
one Of the first steps to be taken will
be the calling OF general meeting Of
ali automobile owners in Devils Lake
about the first Of the year. At this
meeting q network Of roads will be
adopted as official gasoline highways
and efforts win be centered in keepins

INTERESTING CASE
At ABERDEEN

-. Aberdeen, 8. d.. Nov 22.--The most
important case to occupy the present
term of the federal court so far Is that
of the government against Albert
SnaIIey. charged with unlawful use OF
thu mails. which is now on trial. The
government completed the introduction
of direct evidence at $3.50 yesterday
afternoon, and the defense commenced.
srnaIley was the first witness for the
defense and was on the stand over
two hours. His testimony was still
-tffcompleted when the court adjourned.
s1srhe indictment charges Smalley
with having written an article to a
Lennon paper, charging r. w. Ash
ton. president Of the Security National
bank at Pipestone, Mimi. with var
ious ofEenses, and then with having
written Mr.. Ashton, enclosing copy
of the article, and demanding the sum
OF $4,000 to prevent its further cir
cufation. The letter was written in
reply to an article signed by Ashton
and others and sent to Lennon
paper, attacking Smalley and making
serious accusations against him, which
were calculated to injure his business
at Lennon.
Two Of the witnesses against Small
lev were Mrs, Elizabeth Simmons and
her daughter, Sarah, who held claims
near Smalley's claim In Perkins coun-
~. and who were also interested in a
store Smalley conducted at Lennon.
1T was brought out I'm the testimony
that SrnaIley had been engaged TO
Miss Simmons following his divorce
from his wife but the engagement had
been broken of.
Judge A. W. Campbell, attorney for
Smalley in his opening address stated

some SPECIMEN
N. D. YIELDS

Valley City, N. D., Nov. 21.--Just TO
convince a few pessimists and knock
ers that they are living in one of the
best states in the union we made a
few inquiries into thu 1911 yield with
tn SfoIIowing result:
Otto Hemp, living three miles
northeast of Wimbledon had leo
acres of flax that made a yield of Is
bushels per acre. which at the market
price when il was threshed brought
$3.50 per acre. Not so bad, was 1T?
Hugo Bruesixe. living six miles
northeast of Wimbledon, had a field
Of fax that yielded 22 bushels per
acre which brought at the highest
market price for fax this fall. sss.2s
per acre
Steve Russell had a patch of millet
that he cut for seed that went 80
bushels per acre.
Joel Baum is one Of the farmers
that believes in sowing a little fall
lusl falls sowing harvested 100 acres
Of winter rye that Yielded So bushels
and So pounds per acre.
Some people are inclined to think
that raising potatoes in North Dakota
does not pay, but Lewis Altringer
has different story to tell. He plant
ed a patch Of potatoes last spring
and this fall when he came to dig
them was surprised to find that he had
500 bushels per acre Of the finest kind
of potatoes. which sold for 40 cents per
bushel and brought him the neat sum
of 5000 per acre and then to think
that this same land sells fer about $50
per acre.
Fred Grain had field Of fax this
year that averaged % bushels per acre
and sole for 1924 per bushel which
when figured up brought Mr.. Grain
$55 per acre-the price Of land.
