In this locality for the production or

described BY Professor Waldr0t rs
the Ideal soil for garden purposes.
With careful attention this land will
yield not only surprising but wonder
ful results. Thelatest statistics OBJ
tainablc on the subject SHOW that
the average returns for the vegetable
gardens of the country are o little
short of one.hundred and fofty dol
lars per acre, while the average corn
wheat. oats, and hay lands are less
than eigh dollars per acre" North
Dakota celery In 1911 was marketed NJ
Wholesale at forty cents per dozen
lunches. which was considerably bet
ter than six hundred dollars nm acre
for the land. Onions Yield heavily and
will bring easily a profit of from rhree
hundred to six hundred dollars an
acre. And In n community where land
Is OF low enough a value to allow the
cultivation OF such crops by horse the
profits are much greater than they
would be in u community where land
values are high and tho work must all
be done by hand. A thousand bushels
Of ripe tomatoes from one acre OF
ground at one dollar a pushed! What
will not be expected OF Sterling in
the future!
But with these conditions, which
have been told, existed at Sterling

Discolly q thriving town of the
western type, located in Elrleigh
county on the main line OF the North

east Of Bismarck the county seat.
Driscoll. presents the story of the
west as 1t really exists. One may
sit back and imagine all the TO
nance connected with the place that
one may wish, but the facts are, the
town grew out OF nothing in a very
short time, and now rests there on
the bosom of the plains as a part OF
the commercial world, and is well
playing an important part in the az
fairs of the region. Ten years ago
Driscoll was; not Driscoll, but the
site was merely an expanse OF plain
such as enc may see at almost any
time in the state OF North Dakota,
Someone suggested to a traveller on
one Of the trains passing through this
region some years ago that more than
likely the day would come when the
place where the town now Is would
be alive with the activity Of a wide
awake little city. The traveller raised
his eyebrows, and asked in wonder.

Let that same traveller come back
over the line at this time, and he
will raise his eyebrows in real sur
prise, and in wonderment he will ask,

pass through this country and study
the various sides Of life and he will
see that the west is not the west OF
tie stage and the story book. but it
is the west for great things.
Today there are in Driscoll finan-
cial, religious, and educational insti-
tutions, as we'll as various commercial
organizations. There is a good DuD-,
lie school; there are churches; there
are doctors, contractors, butchers,
painters, land companies, hotels, and
livery barns, a couple of general,
stores, lumber yards, hardware
stores, insurance Offices, telegraph
and telephone conyeniences, black

Sterling Is y town where ambition,
energy and faith have been well com.
bined. The result has been a well
established town. In 1907 Sterling
was without 4 bank, or even a hotel.
Today there are in the town good
financial institutions. and hotel ac-
commcdations. Her rapid and steady
growth has been attestcd by the cstab.

organizations, as well as the fact that
the town has two churches, and good
school. The religious and educational

4 square gard in several places pulled
the weeds carefully 50 as not to dis

in his report on the natter was as
follows: Ninety-one ounces, fifty-cight
ounces, siXty-tour ounces, f~ifty-siX

average OF sixtysix ounces per square

above the average. If that is left out
the average will be sixty ounces to

President and Inventor of Acme Cash Railway Passes Away
 in His 72d Year


 New Haven. Jan. Moses c. Sweezy, president and chief owner of the Acme Cash Railway company, with place of business at 152 Brewery street, this city, died yes terday after noon at his Nome 729 Washington avenue, West Haven, in the 72d year of his age
 MT Sweezy was closely identified with tbe manufacturing life of the city during a long period and his in vention and ownership of the cash carrier system no less than the vart- ous suits in which his invention in volved him made him well known throughout the country.
 He came to this city in the early seventies from Long Island, where he was born. He established the New Haven Ruffle company which had quarters at the corner of State and Chapel streets, and flourished when Women'S fashions demanded the neck ruffs. After tF7is fashion died out Mir Sweezy bent his energies to the in ventfon and perfection of a system of cash carriers used widely by depar.- ment stores throughout the country.
 The cash railway should have hRade a fortune for it's inventor but for a long period after it's perfection he was engaged in litigation involving infringements upon his invention that ate up a large part of the profits. Larger firms annexed his hardwork- ed out plans, and he was forced to sue Eventually he won out in all the suits concerning the rights 10 his pa tents.

 Colonel Conger recognized the nor tally wounded man, who died two hours later, murmuring the words: Useless-useleSs."
 Booth's body was carried to Belle Plain, the nearest landing to Fred ericksburg, and placed under guard on the deck of the steamer John S. Ide, and thus conveyed to Alexandria Here, by Secretary Stanton's ofders, it was transferred to a tug in charge of Chief L. c. Baker, of the Secret Service, which conveyed the body of Booth to the monitor Montauk, an- chored off the Navy Yard.
 There Booths body was fully iden- tified and photographed. John Wilkes Booth was officially attested dead. Then Chief Baker took the body in a rowboat to the Arsenal inclosure and placed it on the wharf, in charge of a sentry. During the night it was carried into one of the cellar store rooms of the old penitentiary, plac- ed in a gun box and buried under the brick pavement.
 Four years later, with President Johnson's permission granted to the Booth family, a Washington under taker exhumed John Wilkes Booths body, placed it in a new casket, con veyed it to Baltimore and buried it in the family plot at Greenmount, where 1t still lies under the east face of the monument erected to Junius BrutuS Booth by his son Edwin in 1858.
