Charles O'Keefe was arrested and
given hearing last Saturday afternoon
before Justice O. B. Aldrich upon
charge of petty larceny, the complaint
being sworn out by Ole Narveson,
farmer living about seven miles west of
Langdon, upon what is know as the
old Birtch place. Narveson attached
suspicion to the way In which O'Keefe
left his employ after having engaged to
hired on his farm during the springs
work, when he discovered that two
rings which he highly valued as family
keepsakes were missing from the house
O'Keefe was traced into town, where
evidence was discovered of him having
attempted to sell rings..which tailed with
Narveson's description to Tom Brady
and the wife of Jake Spenst. The rings
we're not Forthcoming when the defend

he has them hid away. Justic Aldrich
considered the evidence in the case as
sufficient to warrant him in sentencing
O'Keefe to twenty days in the county

The better farming movement, which
has been taken up in Cavalier county
this spring under the direction of field
agents appointed by state association.

IN upon work this spring awakened no
little interest among our farmers in the
rotating of crops and other essential
factors for increasing the crop yield
and the fertility of the soil The two
stations, one located here in Langdon
and the other at Milton are each made
the headquarters of a field worker, the
former covering the central and west
ern part of the county and other the
south and eastern portions. In each
of these two divisions upwards of ten
demonstration plots are reported as be-
ing in operation, being in extent from
eight to twenty acres each. On the larger
a five year demonstration is being car
rled out while on the smaller plots the
three year rotation idea will be carried
out. The crops includes corn, potatoes,
small grains and grasses and there is
not a single township in the whole
county into which this work of demon
strating how to get the best results
is not being given fair trial
OF the soil. 1t may take year or two
yet to create a county wide interest in
this question Of better farming
methods, but it is bound IN years tc
come to be of incalculable value to every
tiller of the soil.
