The Belfeld Times has found out a
few things about The Farmers General
Service Co. and in its last issue said !:
In regard to the article we published
in last weeks paper signed by c., D.
Wright of Belield. in answer to the
article in the Dickinson Press of the
week before. we would say. that we do
not want anyone to get the idea that we
are holding up any such swindline
schemes whatever. In the first place. we
do not approve of such companies oper-
ating in community in opposition to
home trade. as, we are boosting our
home merchants. and the Times stands
for home industry. If we knew what we
do now, the article would never have
been published. If The Farmers General
Service Co. are what great many
people think they are, they should be
put where they belong : s..

BLAcHLEY CASE on TRIAL
THE HUSBAND WAS INSANE

A case was tried before Judge W. c.
Crawford in chambers on Tuesday and
Wednesday which brings to mind some
of the incidents of the early cattle days
in this country.
Away back in 1894-5 H. L. Blachley
of Cedar Rapids. Iowa. came to this
locality and started cattle ranch on
Crooked Creek in Dunn county. He
bought the old D. C. Row place of r.
L. Spade. located on section 34-143-96.
He was very successful as stock
grower and in 1899 filed homestead on
the place, making proof thereon, as a
single man, in 1901. About this time
he sold his Improvements and land to
Geo. Frye and A. N. Jefferies. for a
consideration of about So, 400, the
land being figured at about 81 per acre,
the going price at that time. Later the
property was tranfered to the Dakota
Land & Cattle Co., composed of Geo.
Frye, W. L. Richards and A. N. Jeffer-
les.
H. L. BIachley returned to Cedar
Rapids and during May, 1902, he was
sent to the Iowa asylum where he died
in March, 1910.
1t developed some time about the
time Mr.. Blachley left here that he had
a wife in Iowa. The records show that
he started divorce proceedings at Bis
marck during the year 1902 but the
issued never came to trial.
| Mrs. Blachley was the plaintiff in
court here this week, making the claim
that her husband was insane when --he
was on the homestead out in Dunn
county. and that she had the lega
right to recover the homestead on the
ground that she never was a party tc
the conveyance.
The records in the case show that
Mrs. Blachley never resided on the
claim and that for part--of the time
her husband was out here she was
collecting the rent on property back in
Iowa.
As stated by Mrs. Blachley, her hus.
band left her in q hotel in Bowdle, S.
D.. some time in 1894. She traced him
to New Orleans and points in Mexico
and not very long afterwards she found
that he had come to Western NORTH
Dakota. She came out here once. but
never went to the ranch. By process
of law she secured rent of the BlacLle,
property in Cedar Rapids, amounting
to ST, 900 per year and also had home
there in house that had belonged tt
her husband.
Judge Crawford gave the litigants q
days in which to file additional docu
mentary evidence.

While Florida has many remarkable

the regular fare is but 2Kc per mile.
All of the towns in Billings county,
as we'll as in Stark and tributary places
and Morton county points. expect to
send good delegations to Bismarck on
the 10th. This will make it pleasant
and at the same time it will show the
fair visitors from. the eastern part Of
the state that there" arc some people
living in the western part of the state.
Everybody wants to attend the State
Industrial Fair for at least day. and
try and make that date October 10.
Definite action was taken at the Dick
inson Commercial Club Wednesday
night and as many people as possible
from this city will make it a point to
visit Bismarck next Tuesday. The
Northern Pacific has been notified and
will make ample provision for all the
coaches that are needed.
N. G. Abbott, of the University at
Grand Forks, was present for q short

D. Heaton, Secretary. M. M. Burnett and

The club has ordered 200 copies of
Campbell's Soil Culture magazine for
distribution among Stark county farm
ers. F. L. RoQuette, Frank Lish and G.
H. Dickinson are a committee to furnish
the list of names.
In the future the rental of the Com

pay light and heat expenses. For class
rehearsals, etc., from q. m. to 6 D.

The armory building janitor has been
engaged at SIS per month to look after

FARMERS GET GO. SEED

House Voted Upon March Primary.

board had heavy grind at their meet
ing. some 800 bills having been audited.
the list including court certificates etc.
A matter of special interest for Stark
county farmers at this time is the
question of seed grain for 1912, and the
board has wisely taken steps this early
to meet the demand. Applications will
be out within two or three weeks and
placed at the various banks of the
county so that any homesteader act
ualIy in need of seed for the coming
year can properly place the matter be-
fore the board. 1t is the intention of
the board to safeguard in every possible
way and no person except a free holder
or possibly farmer who has actually
resided on his land for years and is
really worthy, can procure seed from the
county. The board will pass an appli-
cations this fall and as the amount
available for seed grain purposes is pos
sib]y limited, needy. worthy farmers
will do we'll to get their applications filed
early. The board will issue warrants
for seed grain. The grain loaned to the
farmers becomes first mortgage on
farms and when handled as our board
propose to do. there should be no loss
to the county.
Another matter of considerable inter-
est to Stark county people. is the pro-
posed bond issue for the needed new
court house. The board will submit the
matter to a vote of the people at the
March primary election next spring.

THE PRESIDENTS WARNING
His Address Before Illinois

siastically Received. His
Participation in Lincoln

Springfield, Feb. 11.-President Taft
today took a most advanced position
in regard to reciprocity In his ad-
dress before the legislature he warm
ed the leaders of the party that if
they should defeat the concessions OBJ
tanned by the reciprocal agreement
now pending and should persist in
retaining in these times of high prices
and gradually exhausting the food
supply. tariff not based solely on
the difference between the cost of a
product at home and abroad. with a
reasonable profit to the American
producer, opposition would be aroused
that would know no opposition.
This announcement came on the
heels of the news from Washington
that the reciprocity agreement had
met a favorable report in the house
committee on ways and means. The
president feels keenly the opposition
of members of the republican party
but he is sanguine in the hope that
they will "see the light before it is
too late.
He was gratified at the manner in
which his reciprocity speeches were
received today, especially by his leg
islative audience at the state capitol
He was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause and when he concluded the
plaudits were deafening. This was
despite the fact that Speaker Cannon
sent a message from Washington
strongly opposing any sort of reci-
procity
The president came to Springfield
today for a dual purpose. The first
of these was to place a wreath on

butte to the memory of the Great
