Very Good Speaker

Rev. Geo. B. Newcomb, state
secretary for the Society of the
Friendless delivered a very pleas
ing and instructive address at the
Congregational church last Sunday
evening. AZ speaker Rev.
Newcomb is hard to beat,
pleasant in address, easy in
manner and logical in conclusions.
His continual acquaintance for
several years at the penitentiary
together with faithful study of
his subject has fitted him for
this special work and enabled him
to interest every member Of his
audience in bis line of work.
Surely the penitent criminal will
find more true brotherhood in
North Dakota for the work this
energetic secretary 10 doing.

about the worst farming experience
this editor has ever heard of.
John Beck has decided to drop
all political interests and devote
himself to farming. He leaves
Mclean county for his old home
near McClusky where he owns a
farm bordering the city limits
and another a little farther out.
Beck is we'll pleased with the way
the people of Mclean county have
treated him and do not relish leav-
ing but having considerable proper
ty at McClusky will make that his
town. The Wave and most others
consider him as the most able
county sheriff North Dakota has
ever voted into office. |r

CoWanCa Closes
Arguments Today
Judge George A. Bangs for the Pro-
seeution IS Given a Long Time
and Make Ttrong Plea

The following is quoted as some
of the things George A. Bangs
said in his closing argument in
the Cowan impeachment case:
Sympathy has no place in this
case. 1t is not for the court to
consider friendship, but to con
slider that one question; is or is
not Judge Cowan a fit man for
Judge of the Second Judicial dist.
riot? 1t is for this court to cleanse
the judiciary, not by acquittal or
not by conviction, but by a verdic
that cannot but be above reproach
or suspicion.
Sentiment against the method
of administering justice in the
Second judicial district, he said,
was not made in a single day, nor
in a single week, nor in single
month, but has come in years of
action. This sentiment crystalized
in the resolution adopted by the
house of representatives, and in
that resolution, which he read, it
was declared that public rumor
and report concerning the method
of dealing justice in the Second
district was such as to destroy con-
6dence in the courts, and such
confidence cannot be restored ex-
cept by a thorough cleansing Of
the charge. And if guilty, then
the judiciary should be cleansed
by the removal of the offending
Judge, and if not guilty, then it
should be cleansed of suspicion by
q verdict that cannot be sus.
picioned.
He pointed to the court of the
Second district as being reser.
voir of rottenness rather than 6
court to expedite justice, ovel
which presided q man who had &C
far forgotten himself as to allow
himself to become the victim OF
his own beastly passions even
while on the bench. The verdict
of this court must be above sus
picion, or there will be day o1
reckoning coming.

Broke Arm In Three Places

reached Benedict on their return

last week after a gasoline outfit.
G. A. Mahnke secured the assist
ance of Mr.. Erickson to move a

farm into town
After having crossed the rail-
road with the building the gas
engine which was not working just
right was taken off and an attempt
was made to move the house few
feet farther in order to get the
steam engine on the level before
eating dinner. Two men on each
side of the building were throw
ing rollers in under the skids. MIR.
Erickson was helping on one side
when his glove caught under the
skids. In the twinkling of an eye
his arm was down under, and
broken in three places below the
elbow. The engine was stopped
as soon as the throttle could be
shut off and willing hands went to
work to release the man pinioned
by one arm under the skids
which took about three minutes

Claim Contested

Yhe case of the United States
vs.. Walter w. Smith and William
P. Bold was up for hearing before
q Special Examiner of United
States Circuit Judge Amidon last
week at Bismarck. This is an
action by the government to can
eel patent issued to Walter W.
Smith for NW4 sW4 Sec. 5 and
NET Sci aud 81 Mel Of Sec. 6
Township 147, Range 83, FIVE
miles northwest of 'Coleharbor.
Smith entered this land May Z,
1908, and two years later made
commuted proof on the same,
selling the land shortly after MAX
ing proof to William P. Bold. The
government contends that the
entrymen, Walter w. Smith, was
guilty Of fraud in securing his
patent from the government, al
leging that he had not established
proper residence upon the land,
had not complied with the re.
quirements concerning improve.
ments, and had not lived on the
land long enough to obtain patent.
The government further alleged
that he had fraudulently acquired
title to the land in order that he
might convey it to somebody else
namely, Mr.. Bold. The testimony
Of the complaining witness was
impeached by the defense, who
claimed that it was unworthy Of
belief. II further developed that
the complaining witness had at
one time been sued BY Mr.. Bold
and the defense alleges personal
malice in the charges brought. A
date will be fixed later when the
case viii come mp for argument by
counsel before Judge Amidon at
Fargo.

Seed Grain For Farmers

The Burleigh County farmers of
this vicinity who hold contracts
for seed grain from the county
commissioners are receiving their
grain this week. The seed was
shipped from Minneapolis, the
Northwestern Elvator of that city
having been given the contract by
the commissioners to furnish the
seed grain. Reports are to the ef-
feet that considerable dissatisfaction
has been manifested by those pro-
curing the grain, on the ground
that the seed is not up to the
standard.
It is we'll to note that the Nc
Lean county commissioners have
escaped any such trouble, due to
the fact that each farmer who held
a contract for seed grain was al
lowed money sufficient for the
amount Of grain needed, and he
could purchase his grain where he
desired thus relieving the COM
missioners of any responsibility in
case any mistakes were made

is all together to blaim. l can on
ly add to this that the COWS we
have in our territory are only the
common COWS. We have, as yet,
no special dairy breed, but the
fact remains that with proper care
and better feed, we can almost
double our production from the
COWS we have and also that by
erecting a silo and providing ensil-
age enough, any farmer will at
least double his net income. We
have about two hundred patrons at
our creamery and it is only those
who have silos who have been able
to produce the butterfat at cost
below Is cents per pound. The
average cost for all our patrons l
am sure is over 20 cents per pound.
II should not advise a farmer to
build silo unless he could get one
or two of his neighbors to go in
company and buy the machinery
for filing one. Here Is where the
help of the buttermaker comes in.
He should be interested in getting
those silo companies organized and
I will say to the brother buttermak-
ers who are present here, that you
can and must do that work. While
farmers Institutes and dairy meet
ings might do some good, it is for
the man in the weigh room to fol-
low these up. You must get hold
of your friends coat collar and
don't let him get away from you
until you have him started on the
way to order his silo and then /
feel more on the safe side to go
along with him, to make sure that
he really does order the. material
If you can get two or three silos
IN your territory the first year, you
should be satisfied, but be sure
there is no failure the first year
We had three silos the first year
last year we got nine and next
year we will have over twenty.
| Several of our farmers will builc
the second one next year, so they
can have enough to carry them ov
er the time when pasture is shor1
in summer. There is only ont
thing that is better than a silo or
every farm, and that is two silos
and I hope the time is coming
very soon when we will have sufic
lent ensilage on every form to feee
the whole year around. Let us al
unite in working for cheaper feee
and better COWS, and that will NEAR
more cream and better cream, ane
more and better creameries. Their
there will be no need of any large
centralized creamerles, as our farm
ers will all be making money or
; their COWS and will be satisfied
with the returns from their loca
creamery. Is it not peculiar con
dition that a farmer will try t
ship his cream away in order tt
gain a half cent a pound on hi
butterfat, when he could gain ter
cents q pound by having the pro
