WARWICK WANTS
$4,000 CHURCH

Bro Kirsch, editor of the Warwick
Sentinel, thinks Warwick should have \
a church, he feels the need of the
Christianising influence of such an edi-
fee in the city himself and has penned
the following: "We would be pleased
to see some one who has the price, do-8 {
nate just $4,000 for a fine brick
church right here in Warwick. =. We
need a church and we've got to have
one if we want to consider ourselves a.
Christian people. Schools and church
es are important factors of a town.
How nice it would be to hear the
beautiful harmony of the steeple's}
chimes floating away with the breeze.
calling together the good people OF
Warwick and our loving neighbors
from out of town; and, as we would
meander off to church, sit In our peWsS
with peaceful expressions upon our
countenances, the Warwick choir
would render anthems clear, SO sweet
as to bring all Heaven before our eyes
and we all would be wrapped with ec-
stacy and our hearts would be filled
with thoughts of doing good and our
whole being would be imbued with a.
noble christian spirit. Oh! How
beautiful that would be. Bring on the
church \

WANT D. |. LAND
DISTRICT IN ALSO

A message from Congressman L. B.
Hanna states that there was an error
in the dispatch from Washington, pub
lished in The Forum, Aug. Z. He states
that the Dickinson, Bismarck, Willis
ton and Minot land districts are all
included in the Warren bill granting
leave of absence to settlers in those
districts until April Is, 1912, and which
is now before the house for considera-
ton. The amendment which Mr.. Han
ma proposes to offer when the bill
comes uup is to include the Devils
Lake land district.

I A pleasant visitor in town one day
this week was Miss Winnie Bucklin.
former librarian at the Carnegie IL.
brary In Devils Lake. She stopped
one day enroute from Minot to Redfeld
s. D., where she is located at present.
A visit to the library under the charge
of Miss Anna Sprung revealed things
in very satisfactory shape there and
Miss Buckling paid some very high
compliments to Miss Springs efficient
work. Miss Bucklin win return to
Minot in October to organize the new

AID
GIVEN FARMERS
A. K. Rissler, a Government Expert
Has Been at Grafton Suptrin.
. tending the Work.

Government aid in the matter of
constructing silos is being given far
mers in northeastern North Dakota
A. K. Risser of Colorado Springs, a
federal expert, has been at Grafton
the past week, giving government
supervision to this kind of work. Con-
crete silos are being built on numer-
GUS farms in that region. The Charles
Boone farm near Grafton has been the
scene of operations recently and with
Mr. Risser have been Dairy Commis-
sioner R. F. Flint and his assistant E.
H. Pierce from Bismarck Similar silos
to that being built at Grafton will be
built on the C. w. Andrews farm near
Walhalla and on the c. w. Currie
farm near Park River.
Government interest in dairying in
northeastern North Dakota was gain
ed recently when Expert Merit was
sent to Grafton to take charge of the
work. He has been engaged constant
ly, through the association of the Graf.
ton Business Mems club, in the task of
creating dairy interest, and much sue
cess has been met with. The present
work by the other dairy department
man comes as a result of his efforts
1 Relative to the construction of the
concrete silos, it is pointed out thai
the government men do not urge tht
construction OF any particular kind O.
a silo to the exclusion Of any other
but they do point out the best construc
ton plan as judged from the loca
building conditions. In this district
! with plenty of gravel available, tn
concrete sile has been looked upol
favorably.
Interest in the, dairying work tha
! has been created through the activit
ct the government is becoming GET
eral. AT Park River recently the Com
mercial club of that city successful
carried through a plan that brought
large number of splendid cattle, an er
tire carload being shipped in and dis
tributed among the farmers with
view to bettering the grade of stock
Further interest upon the part
the Park River farmers was show
| in a big dairy meeting in that cit
addressed by Expert Merit. At Hami
ton, Pembina county,, an entire day Q
the Pembina county fair was give
over to the dairying interests.

Governor Burke has received word
from the officers of the Northwestern
League that the business
interests of St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth have agreed to deal whereby
this state will be furnished exhibit
space without cost at the land show.
The show to be given under the aus
pices of the league is the only one
in the country which is not private
enterprise and will be managed in such
q way as to- furnish space for official
exhibits.
At cost of ten thousands dollars
the business interests of the three Min
nesota cities have bought from the lea
que $500 square feet Of preferred space
at the show. Each of the seven states
will have a space of fifty feet long and
ten feet wide for their official exhibit.
The governor has been asked to con-
fer with officers of tie league in this.
state and secure the interest of those
necessary to put in an exhibit which
will be a:credit to the state. Under
this plan no one community or city wilI
have an advantage over others in the
state. Any city, county or land COM
pany desiring to make an Independent
exhibit will be able to secure limit
ed amount of space near the stat ex-
hibit on reasonable terms, but it is
the desire of the league officers for
this state that the best possible ex-
hibit be made in the name of the state
as it is from such an exhibit that re.
suits are to be obtained
The seven states which are to be
thus represented are Washington, Ore

states will have exhibits and Canadian
exhibits will be barred, the whole idea

North Dakota officers of the League

the North Dakota exhibit should be

about the show and space therein

LORETTA KELLEY !.
PASSES AWAY "!
Daughter Of Mr.. Clarke v
Kelley Dies in Hospital in
Minneapolis

After some weeks of suffering Miss
Loretta Kelley, only child of Clark W.
Kelley, one of the old residents Of
Devils Lake, passed away on Saturday
last in Minneapolis hospital. Her
father was at her bedside and brought
the remains to Devils Lake on Sunday.
The funeral occurred from the Episco-
pal church on Monday afternoon with
DR.. c. c. Creegan of Fargo, and Rev.
A. E. Clattenberg of this city, offeiat-
ing.
The death OF Miss Kelley, while not
unexpected, caused a shock to her
many friends throughout the county.
Her physicians had given little hope
of her recovery some time before, but
it was hoped her youth, she was just
eighteen, might overcome the dread
disease that had overtaken her. Lor-
etta was born in Devils Lake, her moth
er giving up her life for hers, and but
for short periods away at school has
lived her whole life here. She was
possessed of lovable, sunny DISPOSE
ton that endeared her to every one
about her, and the mourning for her
departure is genuine and heartfelt
There was large attendance at the
funeral services and many beautiful
floral offerings were mutertestimonials
of love for the deceased: DR.. Creegan
president of Fargo college, where she
had been a student, paid a beautiful
tribute to her. A solo was rendered
by Miss Mildred Holmes accompanied
by Miss Mary Cairns, and quartette
composed Of Misses Juliet Shelyer
Miss serumgard, Mildred Holmes ant
Mrs. J. I. Knudson rendered the hymns
