The patrol whisked into 18th
street and came to a quick stop
at the rear of the Peoples Store
backed up ready to take load.
In moment all was interest In
the street around the federal
building.

finish his term in prison.
This is the ruling of Supt.
Padelford, of the reform school.
Padelford said today:
"The facts that Sheldon is mar
ried, that he has a little baby,
that he is doing we'll, that he has
become a law-abiding citizen,
have nothing to do with the case.
''The only way to prevent boys
in this school running away is to
make a severe example of all who
are caught. Sheldon must work
out his time"
Sheldon escaped two years ago.
He made his way to Des Moines,
Ia, where he got a job in glove
factory.
He worked hard, and saved
money. He became foreman in
the factory. He was honored and
respected by his fellows.
Then he married, and only a

TO HELP FARMERS
ORGANIZATION FORMED TO
PLACE DEMONSTRATORS I'M
SOUTHWESTERN ". o.
COUNTIES.

Mandan, N. D., May 1~T.-Bankers
and business men representing every
county in the southwestern portion Of
the state are meeting here today to or
ganize a group association to be af-
filiated with a state bankers s
citation. Sen. Wesley C. Mcdowell of
Marion, former president Of the State
Bankers association and chairman Of
the executive council, is in attendance,
as Is also Thomas p. Cooper Of Fargo,
secretary n director Of the North
Dakota Better Farming association.
The object of the group association
is to place farm demonstrators in
each county of the state. Bankers,
manufacturers, wholesalers and other
business men have agreed to contrib
ute a large sum annually for three
years to promote these better farming
methods. The bankers association is
to assist each county by putting mp
dollar for dollar to defray the expense
Of placing demonstrators to assist and
instruct farmers.
The slope country has been the only
section OF the state without an organ
ization to carry on the work. Re-
nnarkable enthusiasm is now aroused
and demonstrators will be placed Ia
some Of the southwestern counties at
once. In their work the bankers are
receiving the hearty cooperation OF
state officials and a great amount of
good is being accomplished.
