Grow Rhubarb.

Rhubarb or pieplant can be grown in
all parts of the state. It is splendid
for sauce and pies, and comes early in
the season, before any other fruit. 1t
is easy to grow, easy to gather, and
easy to make into sauce or pie. 1t can
be had from nurserymen and is cheap.
Prepare bed for it by blowing or
spading the ground deep and fertilizing
it with rotted manure. Into this set a
few roots rather deep. Then keep the
weeds and grass away from the plants
to distance of four feet. One plant
ing will answer as they will come up
year after year. All the attention
they will need will be to keep the weeds
away and to add some manure occa-
sionally.

Good ia Every Respect.

Agricultural College, N. D., March 20,
1911.
Mr.. E. F. Stevens,
Oakes, North Dakota.
Dear Sir: The sample of Golden
Drop" wheat which syou sent in short
time ago has been tested, and am en-
closing a copy Of the report. In gen
eral this sample is of good quality, the
yield of flour, 1872 per cent, being above
the. average, and the quality of flour
being nearly, if not quite equal to the
other varieties raised in your section of
the state. 1t is really better in this
respect than the average valley wheat
of the 1910 crop, and there is conse-
quently no good reason for assuming
that it would not give good results
when milled IN commercial way.
Very truly yours,
&C. H. Bailey.

About Acting.

Frank G. King and Chick Perkins
will make you laugh and cry at the
same time in their new comedy: "a
Wise Fool" While laughter predomi-
mates in this production, there are
times when tear will start, only IT, be
brushed away to enjoy the splendid
comedy that follows. 1t is seldom that
two artists are found together that are
equally at home in comedy and pathos.
To be able to play one style of part,
and one only, does not constitute an ac-
tor or an actress. but in order to be en-
rolled among the real artists, one must
have the ability to interpret any and
all kinds of characters, and during their
career Frank G. King and Chic Per-
kins have successfully played most any
conceivable character. They are artists
in the true sense Of the word, and will
appear at the opera house, Thursday
evening. April 18th.

Superintendent of Highways.

Senate bill No. 176 has been signed
by the governor and as it contains the
emergency clause it is now law. Un-
der this bill the office of township road
overseer is abolsh At their first
meeting in April, 1911, and every two
years thereafter the board of county
commissioners shall appoint county
superintendent of highways whose
compensation is to be fixed by the
board. It is the duty of the superin-
tendent to survey, lay out, superintend
and inspect the construction and main
tenance of all roads and bitches in the
county. He may appoint deputies in
all townships or may appoint a deputy
for several townships. These deputies
may be discharged by the superintend-
ent at any time. The salary of the
deputy is fixed by the board Of super
visors of the townships, and shall not
be less than $500 nor more than $4.00
per day, and is to be paid out of the
township treasury. 1t is the duty of
the superintendent and his deputies to
construct and improve the high
ways and to cause weeds to be cut
along all highways. The farmers may
work out their road taxes as hereto
fore, but if the work is not done in ac-
cordance with the directions of the
superintendent and his deputies no
credit will be given. All moneys raised
in a township for the improvement of
the roads shall be expended in that
township and on township lines is to be
borne by the adjoining townships.

CRETE and FORBES
SUFFER FROM FIRE
One of Our Citizens Loses
Quite Heavily in the
Crete Blaze.
Sager's Big Store is Center Of
Conflagration at Town
in West End.

Crete had very destructive fire last
Thursday, three buildings with large
share of their contents being consumed.
The johnson & Morgan store, VIM.
Bruns' pool room and Henry Bruns'
building on the corner were the ones
destroyed.
The fire originated in the Johnson &
Morgan store and quickly spread to the
adjoining buildings, and it was with
great difficulty that the Thorpe ele-
yator and depot buildings were saved.
The bucket brigade worked heroic
ally, but this fire forcibly illustrated
the great need of fire protection of
some kind in Crete.
johnson & Morgan's loss is $4,000,
with insurance of SIS, 500.

CITY ELECTION.
Candidates Who Are Looking for
Honors Next Monday.

The city election will be held next
Monday.
A mayor, three councilmen, treas
urer and justice of the peace are to be
elected.
There is an interesting contest on for
mayor and members of the council.
E. j. Walton and C. A. Malander are
the opposing candidates for mayor.
Mr.. Walton is being backed by the
present administration, and by the cit
liens who believe in going forward in
stead of backward.
Mr.. Malander is backed by those who
want to see members of the present
council put on the scrap-pile, and by
certain interests that if allowed to run
things would be anything but creditable
to the city.
The same fight is to be carried to the
wards. 1t looks as if there would be
opposing candidates for alderman in
each ward.
J.sB. Andrews will be candidate for
aldermen in the First ward, and is a
supporter of Mr.. Walton.
C. A. Moore will undoubtedly be a
candidate to succeed himself again in
the Second ward. He has asserted
that he wants to quit, but the boys are
not willing to let it go at that. He
should bo rot,,rpod
In the Third ward there is a warm
contest on. Alderman Slocum is being
encountered by A. G. Ramharter, and
Slocum believes he has worked hard
enough for the interests of the city to
be entitled to reelection, and is. out
after the persimmon.
No. opposition: too. A. Newton for
treasurertor.J y ohm. ennedy for, ,::justice

100000 Blaze at Forbes.

Wednesday morning at 2:3O o'clock
the city of Forbes had its first serious
fire. At that hour the alarm was
sounded and Sager's general store was
a mass of flames. 1t is thought the
fire originated in this building. There
was stiff north wind and the fire
rapidly licked up the pool hall of c. w.
Woodward and the A. G. Berry livery
barn.
The heroic efforts of citizens and the
fire department were unable to cope
with the flames and in the short space
of a couple Of hours the Sager building
and stock valued at about thirty thou
sand dollars was completely wiped out
as was also the pool hall. Mr.. Berry
was fortunate in saving his horses,
harnesses and buggies but his building
is completely wiped out.
Mr.. Sager has only about $4,000 in
surance, Woodward $1,000 and Berry
5000.
AS soon as possible, Mr.. Sager will
at. once rebuild commodious brick
building. The rebuilding Of the other
property is yet in doubt.
Across the street from the burned
districts the fronts of buildings are
charred and the glass fronts demolished.

Make It Rain In July

In the spring when the soil is COM
pact and moist about an inch Of mois-
ture will evaporate q week. Harrow
ing the land loosens up the surface and
stops this evaporation. The soil mulch
can be maintained after the crop is
planted by narrowing. after it is up
from three to eight or nine inches. In
this way the moisture that would other
wise evaporate can be saved up till the
crops need it in July and August.

This week will see the complete
retirement of DR.. D. K. Pearsons.
the great Chicago philanthropist,

his millions made the benefactions
of Rockefeller, Carnegie and others
look in proportion, petty. While

fortune, 100000 Early this
week he will go into retirement at
the Hinsdale sanitarium with only
an income OF $4,000 a year to supply
his needs the remainder of his life.
He was 81 years old April II.
There Is but one transaction that
DR.. Pearsons has to close before che
retires. He will put up his beauti-
full estate at HinsdaIe, near Chicago,
at auction. The highest bidder will
get the house and contents. Follow
ing this act, DIR. Pearsons will enter

DR.. Pearsons was born at Brad
ford, VT, on April IA, 1920, and en-
tered Dartmouth college as a fresh
man in 1912. In speaking of his coll
lege experiences he said recently: Il
rented a room in an attic and chop
ped wood to pay the rent. l cooked
my own potatoes and johnny-cake
and these were the best meals l ever
had. Whenever I could afford meat
it was pork, and I cooked it in a
sheetiron stove by thrusting it over
the Goals on a poker. l live now
on the plainest food and haven't
touched meat in FIVE years. l have
been a hunter after poverty all my
life and I assure you 1t is not a hard
thing to find even in America
have wanted to give young men the
advantages Of education because
they need it and because the country
needs educated young men. If you
will notice that most of my gifts have
been made to small colleges in poor
or sparsely settled regions you will
see what l have been driving at.
