Truck Farming Pays.

There are possibilities III this re-
gion for the development OF the
trucking industry which few have as
vet realized. Here and there man
will be found devoting a portion OF
his time to this very remuneratl'e
business but there is room for many
more. The accessibility of the North
ern cities by means of through
freights practically guarantees good
market for all produce. There mon
ey in it and the same will be gotten
out sooner or later.

NEWS FROM BOWMAN.
Cotton Picking Has Commenced
Other News of Interest.

Bowman, S. C. Aug. 18th, 1911,
Specialization picking has COM
menced by some of the farmers here
about, fields here and there show up
quite a number of bolls. 1t is likely
that some will be ginned and put on
the mraket from this section this
week. There is some complaint of
considerable shedding of fruit which
almost invariably accurs at this sea-
son of the year, but taken as whole
the yield will be in excess of any pre-
vious year in Bowman's history. Re-
cent rains have not been general in
this section and crops are still in
need of more moisture. Heavy To-
cal rains have visited some neighbor-
hoods, while oters are badly in need
of sufficient rains to supply. stock
| with water as well as to re-
lieve the parched crops. Wells are
going dry and on being deepened
streams in some places are perfectly
dry.
Fodder pulling Is nearly completed
the bulk of this food having been
saved in good condition.
Unless showers come UP more fire.
quent the hay crop will be shorter
than usual, less stubble land being
planted in this crop than for some
years past. Some farmers have been
somewhat greedy" on the cotton
questions and supplemented the main
crop of this staple with late cotton
on stubble land.
unless pickers get more of a
''hustle" on them than in recent
years, it is quite doubtful If this crop
will be harvested by that date There
is a decided tendency to much slug
lgishness along the line compared with
former years. Champion pickers
have either lost their art or are get
ting the hook worm disease of some
thing of that kind.
Mr.. J. J. Hutto, a leading mer-
chant, of Bowman and Leroy Smith

THE ARREST OF DR.. DUMAS.

If all the dynamite which DR..
Dumas has been accused of "boiling"
had gone off at one time, there hard
ly could have been a greater jar than
the one resulting from the arrest of
the Mayor of Cass Lake. -
If ever man needs friends it is
at such a crisis as DR.. Dumas is now
passing through. If he has been the
victim of circumstances, he is suf-
fering as few men are ever called
upon to suffer.
In the twinkling of an eye he is
changed from the highly honored
official and tenderly ministering
physician into the blacklist of crimi-
nails, so far as the public is concern
ed, and this without trial before
jury Of his peers to pass upon his
guilt or innocence.
While the detectives have piled
up a mountain of evidence which
muct be explained away before the
now disgraced doctor can clear his
name, it should be remembered that
he has not had an: opportunity to-
give his side of the case, if he has
any side.
In fairness to the accused man, it
is only right that the public read
the story of DR.. Dumas alleged down.
fall calmly and without prejudice
and that judgment be withheld un-
til he has presented his explanation
of the black deeds attributed to him.

Bemidji, Mimi, June 10, 1911.
To the Editor:
I wish to correct what 1 think is a
false impression created by an ar
ticle in your paper in regard to the
actions of Mr.. Molander, the SUPER
intendent of the Red Lake road.
The facts are: when we found out
shooting had been done and men
wounded we appealed to Mr.. Moland-
er, in the interest of humanity, to
order out car and engine so the
wounded could be got to the hospital
as soon as possible. Mr.. Molander
got up in the middle of the night to
do this work.
The same is true of the manager
of the Telephone, Mr.. Harris. When
we knew that the wires had been cut
we got him out of bed so as to get
the line working to get the train
started.
DR.. Marcum was kept in readiness
with his auto also, but this was all
done so the men wounded could be
relieved of their suffering and have
their wounds dressed at the shortest
possible moment.
Yours truly,
SAM F. FULLERTON.

Warmin1 the COOS

There was once an old lady in Scot
land who kept few hens. As she
lived close to- the house in which g
church minister lived he asked her to
send him two new laid eggs every
morning and he would pay her foI
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to thu
minister's house every moning with
two eggs, and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm, al
II they had just been taken from the
hens nest.
But one day the eggs were cold, so
the servant asked: Are the eggs fresh
today, Janey? They do not seem
warm"
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said. lou. aye, they're quite
fresh, only my mother could not get
the cat to sit on them this morning,
as it ran away"
