FARMERS TO MEET
Plans for Securing State Farm Will
Be Considered.

t
Minot-Through the activities Of
the Minot Commercial club which has
made plans for general gathering of
farmers to be held during the latter
part of the present month, Minot
hopes to be able to secure one of the
farms which will be established by
the North Dakota Better Farming as
ISOLATION.
The committee which has been
placed in charge of the farmers gath
ering has already decided to invite
Director Thomas Cooper to the city
to make an address, and, it is expected
that he will discuss the farm PROPOSE
ton and point out the methods which
must be adopted to fulfill the require
ments.
The Minot Commercial club has al
ready been of material assistance to
the farmers in the territory, and not
the, least interesting. feature of its
work was that Of bringing into Ward
county large consignment of pure
bred cattle, which have since been
sold to farmers who are going into
dairying on a more or less extensive
scale.

nnfiston Commercial Club Seeks Smaller Tracts IN

Williston. Smaller farms under the
federal irrigation projects in this sec
ton to the slogan Of the Williston
Commercial club which 10 about, in q
unique manner, to accomplish that OBJ
ject. A club committee that is
charged with obtaining options on
small tracts OF lands. from the farm
ers under the projects, has been ap-
pointed, and this committee is already
at work with Paul Leonhardy in
charge as chairman.
The object Of this movement" says
Chairman Leonhardy in a statement
issued to the land owners interested,
"is to assist the farmers under the
project in the sale of their lands, es-
pecially in small tracts, with the idea
Of securing more settlers, as it would
seem from the statements of the
farmers that their larger holdings can
not be as profitably farmed as smaller
tracts. Another of the principal ideas
In making this effort is that If the land
can be cut up into smaller tracts, it
will be much easier to secure acreage
for beet culture in the event of getting
a beet sugar factory established in
Williston.

"The options which we ask the
farmers to give are 90 drawn that
while they hold the farmer to sell his
land at any time during the life Of the
option. provided he still owns the land,
yet it leaves the farmer free to sell to-
any one else at any time he may
choose to do So. Nothing is binding
upon him to hold his land to be sold
by the commercial club. the whole
idea being to promote sales and not in
any way prevent them.
Any transfers made by the COM
mercial club will be without any COM
mission or recompense of any kind to-
be paid to it for securing the sales;
the buyer only paying the sum asked
by the farmer"
The smaller farm movement is one
that has been launched in other Sec
tions of the country where federal ir.
rigation projects are maintained as
the operation of large farms, under
those projects, has been shown to be
less profitable than the small farm OBJ
Grated under the intensified farming
plan.
Farmers of Williams county look
upon the movement favorably.

LAND ELoPER At LAST.
McHenry County Officials Waited
Long but Finally Secured Man.

Towner.-Harry Watson was arrest
ed at Minot by Deputy Sheriff Morri-
son and was brought to Towner where
he is now confined in the. county Jail.
The charge against Watson is adultry
and wife desertion, which charge was
brought by his wife, Mrs. Leota Wat
son.
Watson disappeared from Granville
during the early part of October SELL
Ing all his property and leaving his
VIE without means of support. 1t is
alleged he was accompanied by his
wife's sister, and the pair were traced
from Minneapolis to Winnipeg and
through Calgary, from which point
Miss Heath returned home. Watson
was later located at Coronation, Can,
and through the officials there Sheriff
Sampson was kept informed as to his
whereabouts. 1t was impossible to
extradite him under the above charge,
and he would have to be caught in the
states.
Early last week Sheriff Sampson re-
ceived word that Watson had left
Coronation and was on his way to
British Columbia, but was going by
way of Spokane. Consequently he was
arrested at Minot. The preliminary
hearing will be had Jan. 8. c. w.
Hookway and Christianson & Weber
have been employed to defend Watson.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have stitch Of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality. nevertheless,
the, disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came of, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our, baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem.
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
seemed to relieve him 80 much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser. Mill Hall. Pa, Feb 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free
on application to "Cuticura," Dept.

COMMON LAW KNOTS INVALID.
North Dakota Supreme Court Hands
| Down Decision in Several Gases.

Fargo.-The sapreme court of North
Dakota holds that common law mar
riages are not valid in North Dakota.
The decision was rendered in the case
of Matthias Schumacher VS.. The Great
Northern and others. The court said
in part:
The syllabus of the case is in part
as follows:
Prior to enactment of chapter 81,
laws of 1890, the common law mar.
riage was expressly recognized as
valid in this state, but by the enact
ment of said chapter, which is still in
force as sections 4032 and 4O42, R. c..
1905, which expressly repealed the old
statute in toto it was unquestionably
the legislative intent to abrogate such
common law marriage in this state,
and such intent must accordingly be
given effect. The case is reversed.

CALLS ATTENTION
TO PRIMARY LAW,

oakdale, N. D., Jan. 31.-To The
Forum: desire to respectfully call
the attention of your readers to that
part of the primary election law
enacted by our last legislature which
reads as follows:
THAT at the time the assessor
makes his assessment in April or May
he shall take down in the enrolment
book the name Of each voter in his
district, his age, nationality, occupa-
ton, postoffice address and the poll
tical party he votes with. He must
sign his name twice to the above ana
swear to the same"
Now, when the voter goes to cast
his vote at the primaries the judges
of election will hand him ballot to
vote and it must be of the party that
he specified when he gave his name
to the assessor and no other. The
coming primary election is conceded
to be the most important ever held
in the state, as both of the old parties
are divided, The independent voter
Is the man who will carry the eiec.
