HAND CRUSHED I
IN Mill ROLLERS

Darcy Commercial: While working at
the Osborne feed mill, A. H. Hicks got
his hand caught in the rollers of the
machine and badly mangled it. The
first two fingers of the right hand
were crushed completely off and bones
We're broken in the other two fingers
and the thumb raj badly mashed.
Mr.. Hicks was grinding some feed at
the time of the accident and as a new
set of rollers had just been put in the
machine was not working exactly
right. Mr.. Hicks took a stick and at
tempted to clear the grain out of the
way so that he could see what was the
matter with the machine. In some
way the stick slipped and his fingers
also were caught between the rollers.
Mr.. Hicks was taken to his home
and medical assistance was at once
summoned. 1t was found that two Of
the fingers had to be taken up to the
palm of the hand as they were so badly
crushed. Mr.. Hicks went to James
town for further treatment and his
many friends here hope that no more
serious complications set In and that
he will speedily recover.

the North Dakota product is eagerly
sought for by brewers all over the

Fifth In acreage with 2~,1S0,00o acres
and sixth in yield of oats with $1,000
900 bushels, North Dakota very cred

ord for 1911--admittedly an off year.
Even more remarkable than che
foregoing, and more significant than
any as an indication of the magnificent
agricultural vitality Of the state, is
the progress made during the past two
years in corn acreage OF North Dakota.
The acreage as returned by the state
assessors in the spring Of 1911 was
452,9 1886 acres, compared with 230,197
acres in 1910. being a gain of nearly
100 per cent. No other state in the

over comes within 90 per cent Of this
phenomenal percentage gain, ana,
while it is not claimed that North Da-
kota is a corn state, in h general
a~cceptation of the term, yet this
splendid showing, especially when
considered in connection with the fed

to be Anal proof that North DaSetn has
fairly and definitely taken her place
