VENTILATION.

Kansas Health Bulletin: The i'm
pulsion of hot air into a room is the
most Objectionable Of all systems of
ventilation. Cool air and radiant heat
are the ideal combination, and the old
fashioned open fireplace has much to
recommend 1t. 1t is the heat and wind
~lessness that aus the trouble; and
people should go more into the open,
not because they may there breathe
chemically pure air, but because its
GOODNESS and it's constant motion slim
ulate the skin, increase metabolism,
and aid in the development of a sturdy
and resistant body. Herein lie the
hygienic and therapeutic virtues of
the open air. We cansot take up more
oxygen thas is required to do our work.
and this can readily be supplied even
by a partially exhausted atmosphere;
but we cun make more heat IL the air
will take 1t, and in doing this we
both consume more oxygen and
burn our fuel TO better advantage.
This is the basis of the outdoor treat
ment of tuberculosis, where to in
crease metaboIism is so important.
We may help to prevent many Ills by
supplying our houses, our schools and
our work places with COOL ~circulat-
ing air. We need to develop a new
point Of view; the c of ventila-
ton depends much more on supply
ing proper physical conditions for the
outside Of the body than chemical con-
ditions for the lungs. A. little cold
air may be vastly better than a large
amount Of warmed air.

peath % eeorae 3. Punton.

Ayr, N. D., Aug. 2s.--on Thursday
evening, Aug. %, occurred the death
Of George Punton, a we'll known young
man of Ayr. He was the third son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Punton, well
known pioneers of the vicinity. He
was born in Ayr, Oct. Ii, 1873. and
grew to manhood here. He was well
liked and prominent with the younger
set. He was married in 1908 and NOV
ed to Fargo where he was employed
as a bookkeeper in the Standard OIL
Co., until late this spring, when he
contracted quick consumption. Every
thing was done that loving hands
could do to make his last days and
hours pleasant and the end came
Thursday evening. He leaves besides
a large circle of warm friends, a wife
and two children, a father and mother,
four brothers and three sisters. The
funeral occurred on Friday and was
largely attended, and the many beauti-
full flowers furnished by loving friends
testified to the esteem in which George
was held in this vicinity. Rev. Full
ton, the Presbyterian pastor, preached
restthe sermon. The remains were
layed to rest In the Punton family lot
in the beautiful Buffalo cemetery.

NOT A DIAMOND
In VALLEY CITY

Valley City, N. D., Aug. 2S.-There
is not a diamond in Valley City. There
is not the semblance of a watch nor the
falntest simmer of jewelry on person
al adornment, Haunted in an egotisti-
cal display of wealth. within the
boundary lines of the city OF "high
brows' and culture. There is not a
bicycle. No personal vaIuables here
to incubate the c~leptomaniac or entice
the burglar from afar. Valley City is
positively free from any smuggling
scandal.
All the foregoing facts are true but
the good citizens Of Valley City did
not know 1t until the state board of
equalization returned the personal
property list Of appraised valuation.
which originated with the township
assessor, to County Auditor Nelson,

The assessment sheet shows that
the assessor, always on the alert, sus-
picious, ferret-like, failed to discover
q real diamond or even a phoney

sive mansions of the elite, to say moth
ing of the complete absence of watch
es, jewelry and gaudy adornment such

not supposed to find everything.

Of these methods together with the
eradication of weeds, will go a long
way toward solving the problem of
dry farming. Many details, however,
must be worked out in each separate
locality. Texture of soil, elevation,
character of subsoil, prevalence or

their effects and must be taken into

However, the extra labor required
here is fully offset by the increased
expense that must be incurred for

before, h application Of manure will.
in itself, retard evaporation, but In ad-
dition to this, the land must be culti-
waited as often as may seem necessary
to maintain a granulated mulch on the
surface for the purpose of conserving
the moisture. Otherwise, much of it
will be ~needlessly evaporated by cap
illarity, whereas, the soil water should
be respired into the atmosphere only
through a growing plant and this
plant, mark you, should not be a weed,
The principle of cultivation for the
purpose of conserving the moisture is
so well understood that it requires no
special attention at this time. The
eradication of weeds, however, is a
most essential element in dry farming.
1t has been fully demonstrated where
grain fields are only fairly weedy. that
h water necessary to produce the
dry matter in the form Of weeds, had
it produced grain instead, the yield of
wheat, for instance, would have been
increased from ten to twelve bushels
per acre. MOI all the water that went
to produce weeds would likely have
been utilized by the grain crop, for
weeds are greedy feeders in compari-
son with cultivated plants.
Yet every agricultural state suffers
the loss of untold millions, annually,
on account of weeds even where they
don't appear to be over-abundant. No
farmer should expect, therefore, to
crow a crop of weeds and a crop of
grain IN the same ground during the
same season in a semi-arid country.
Where the attempt is made the weeds
are bound to get the major portion Of
the water and the grain gets what re-
mains, should any water remain. AS
well expect to feed a pig and a lamb
from the same trough with just enough
milk for one animal and expect to
produce a profitable crop Of wool and
mutton.

ficient cultivation to destroy the weeds
and to maintain a surface mulch as

Angie, N. D., Aug 24.-To The Forum:
Our community was shocked to learn
Of the death of Henry Larson, which
occurred at WiIliston Aug. 20, from
the effects of an operation he under
went in one of the hospitals at that
place. About a week & he was taken
there, very sick with what was sup
posed to be typhoid fever. Deceased
was born in Stevens county, Mimi,
where he grew to manhood. Henry vas
highly esteemed for his many virtues
and pleasing personality. He had forged
his way to the front on one of Uncle
Sans quarter sections of land, and had
one Of the finest farms around here.
Henry was one Of the kindest and most
obliging of neighbors, having a cheer
full and sunny disposition, and always
ready to help his neighbors, which
made him a good favorite among all
who had the pleasure to know him.
He will be greatly missed by his host
of friends. Besides his mother and
father, there are three sisters and seven
brothers to mourn his loss. His broth

GENERAL CREEL
| SOLD HIS FARM
DISPOSED OF INTERESTS OF
RAMSEY COUNTY, BUT WILL
REMAIN THERE.

Devils Lake, N. d. Aug. 2s.-Prob-
ably one OF the biggest land trans
actions that has taken place in Ram
sey county for some time took place
yesterday when Gen. III. IA. Creel dis
posed of his farm OF 995 acres to
Messrs. Petsinger of Fairfield, Ia,
and to Mr.. Tomah Of New London,
ia.
General Creel was probably one of
the best farmers in the county, spo
,cializing IN many ways IN the best
that could be grown. His stock was
always the best and his structures
were so arranged as to be convenient
for the best kind of farm work. Ram
sey county may well regret in losing
the general as a tiller of the soil, but
can congratulate itself IN the fact he
will remain a resident of Devils Lake
and the county, retiring only from ac-
tuaI farm life.
: Messrs. Petsinger and Mr.. Tomah
are expert Iowa farmers and are well
coined to the lake region, with the
hope that they will have success in the
venture on the valuable farm proper
ty which has made the name of Creel
resound at many a land show in the
northwest.

MORE TROUBLE
! IN Ward COUNTY

Minot, N. D., Aug. 2s.-The Ward
county commissioners were temporar-
lily restrained from ~disposing of the
building located on the corner of
Fifth street and Belyea venue and
occupied by st. Joseph's hospital by
an order granted to John Ehr by Judge
Frank E. Fisk Of Williston. Judge
Fisk is sitting at the request Of Judge
X. E. Leighton, who is at present en-
joying a vacation at Minnesota points.
The order is r~eturnable Sept. II, when
the commissioners will be compelled
TO show cause why the injunction
should not be made permanent.
Mr.. Ehr claims that the question Of
selling the hospital property has never
been submitted to the voters of Ward
county and that the commissioners are
acting unlawfuHy in disposing of the
hospital without submitting it to a
vote.
The plaintiff contends that it is not
for the best interests of the county
to dispose of the property at this time
and that the county will be greatly
benefited If the question of selling
the cal estate is left to the voters at
the November election. He claims that

Held Up GREEKS

Minot, N. d. Aug. 2S-Three Greek
Iaborers employed by the Great North
ern railway were held up by seven
men at the stone bridge near the
Roach place along the Great North
ern track about a mile and a half
east Of the city at IL o'clock at
night.
The Greeks were on their way to the
stockyards and were walking on the
track. Just as they reached the bridge
seven men, six of whom wore hand
kerchiefs over their faces, stepped
up and ordered the men to give up
their cash, which they did, to the ex-
tent of about $S2 between them.
They reported the case to the po-
lice as quickly as possible. but a care
full search on their part for several
hours last night failed to reveal any
trace of the men, and as the Greeks
were unable to give much Of a de-
scription Of the men, there is little
hope Of apmrehending them.

BEAT UP GREEK
and TOOK MONEY

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 2S.-There
was a little mixup at the switch on the
Great Northern just west of the city.
George Myers, a Greek, bringing action
for robbery against James Ramsey,
Jacob Chambers and John McDonahue.
The matter was brought before Judge
Juergens and prosecuted by States
Attorney Duell. At the conclusion of
the trial the three men were dismissed
on the robbery charge, but McDona-
hue and Chambers were re-arrested
on the charge of assault and battery,
Ramsey being set free. McDonahue
and Chambers pleaded not guilty and
their trial is under way today.
The details of the affair, according
to the testimony, resulted when Myers,
employed by the Great Northern, en-
tered a box car of melons. McDona-
hue, a brakeman on the Great North
ern, took 1t upon himself to order the
Greek out, whereupon the Greek is ac-
cused of throwing a monkey wrench
missing McDonahue and hitting
Chambers. Both men proceeded TO
beat up Myers, who ran away and at
a distance he is accused Of hurting
stones. According to Myers, the rob-
berry Of $27 was perfected by one of
the men, while he was being held by
the other. The testimony of Myers was
given through an interpreter. The
three men claimed their action in
hitting the Greek was in self defense.
