The following is q portion of bull;
letin issued this week by Pure Food
Commissioner E.F. Ladd: .s:5 :i.;s is:sE
I: There have been repeated requests
for information with regard to the
Farmers S General Service company
and their methods of doing business
whether the goods or products handled
by them are in compliance with the
laws of this state; and whether or not
the firm is one that can be relied upon.
I The company makes great claims,
offers strong inducements, and in the
sory could become valuable aid as q
farmers organization when conducted
strictly, along the lines intended to
benefit the farmer and to give him
full value for money: expended. Y:
As a. first step in looking over the
catalogue furnished by the Company,
one notes at once the number Of refer
Eences, business houses. ON writing
these firms some Of them state that
they have had no business relations
with this company and SO can furnish
no information; others state that they
have, sold no goods direct to them,
but that some of their goods have
passed through jobbers into their
hands; another firm states that Of late
they have required tnat all transact
ions be cash, and SO it is with others.
This does not give one the best i'm
preston at the start. $. {. T,
If the samples eof food products ex-
amined represent fairly the class of
material which this Company is fur
nishing to at least some Of their pat.
trons, then it is questionable If the
service is Of benefit to the consumer.
Certainly, the goods are illegal.
This company also furnishes stock
foods, stock tonics, and egg foods, but
they had not complied with the re-
quirements Of our State law in that
they have not registered these pro-
ducts for sale. in the State Of North
Dakota, although the medicines and
stock foods are sold in consideration

FORE, this department maintains that
the transaction has been made wholly
within the State Of North Dakota and
that said agents Of this company are
responsible for the violation Of our
law. ;sf ,5s.s. sS;

Report on Restoration of Devils Lake
Plan TO Divert the Waters of the Mouse River to
~, Lake and TO Plan Irrigation Project
inll&Connection

: Bismarck, N. D., March 1.-State
Engineer Atkinson has transmitted
his report to the governor on the
Mouse river to Devils Lake survey
which was made in compliance with
the provisions of the Hyiand bill, pass
ed at the 1911 session Of the legisla-
ture, this bill providing for survey
to be made from Devils Lake to Mouse
river to determine the feasibility of
diverting the flood waters of Mouse
river in to the lake. n ss. K. 3 81
: The report shows that the lake has
been steadily decreasing in size for
many years, and. it is known that the
lake surface has fallen eighteen feet
since 1867, fourteen feet since 1879,
seven feet since 1887, five feet since
1902 and three feet sin e 1907. The
government surveys made in the early
SOS show that the lake had a water
surface of 112 square miles at that
time, while today it is estimated that
the water surface is sixty square
miles. s.2 u. Is szi = I. .: p.
Statistics obtained by Prof. Chand-
Ter, professor of civil engineering at
the state university, and in charge of
stream gaging for. the United States
geological survey in North Dakota and
eastern Minnesota, show that the av-
erage annual evaporation from Devils
Lake is thirty-fiye inches and the to.
tai water supply from rainfall and run.
off is twenty-nine inches, leaving an
annual shortage of six inches:
q There has been much agitation re.
lative to draining the flood waters OF
the Mouse river into Devils lake in
order to prevent further shrinkage,
but heretofore no definite idea as to
the feasibility of the proposition has
been secured. ss
= The field surveys were made by j,
W. Bliss, assistant state engineer, and
a total of 1876 miles Of levels were run,
the valleys of the Mouse Sheyenne
and sWintering rivers were cross sec.
toned at various points and numerous
saneroid observations were taken to
determine elevations. The PROPOSE,

between the Willow creek waters and
the waters running into Devils lake
was Its feet above the present water
surface of the lake. The present ele-
walton of the lake above sea level is
LABS feet, and the elevation of the
Mouse river at the mouth of Willow
creek is the same as the lake, while it
was found that the elevation OF tho
river at the mouth of Wintering creek
is thirty feet higher than the present
elevation of the lake. It was also
found that the Sheyenne river at a
point six miles east of the town of
Sheyenne is tweleve feet lower than
the present lake elevation. - ~
After a large number Of aneroid OBJ
servations were taken by the state en-
gineer on the territory between Dew
lis lake and the Mouse river and from
the Sheyerne north to the Turtle
mountains, it was decided that the
only possible route worth while sur
veying was from point on the Mouse
river near the mouth of Wintering
creek to the Sheyenneriver by the way
of Buffalo and Girard lakes. It is
thought the glacial lake, Souris, which
in the glacial period covered the
Mouse river loop country and some of
the country east of Mouse river, found
it's outlet to the Sheyenne by this
route. The route is approximately I0S
miles long, thirty miles OF which lies
along the valley of the Sheyenne river
land sixty-fiye miles Of which would
have to be excavated. 5..,
The surveys established the fact
that in order to divert the waters OF
the river it you'd be necessary to
construct a dam in the Mouse river
near the mouth of the Wintering creek
and one in the Sheyenne river six.
miles east of the town Of Sheyenne.
The dam on the. Mouse river would
create a reservoir $500 acres in en-,
tent which would entend nearly to the
town of Velva. A large part OF this
proposed reservoir is bottom land and
| the land damages would be heavy
The sheyenne reservoir would cover

WIFE WOOED a DAYS
is SOON A WIDOW;
ARDERY'S ROMANCE

wife in four days, a widow in eight
weeks, is the story of Mrs. Arthur Ar
derry, who has returned from her
husbands funeral at Muncie, Ind.
Hundreds of Atlanta friends heard with
regret of the death of Dad Ardery
last Saturday. but only few knew
of the romance which brought about
his second marriage and which was so
soon ended by his death
The second courtship of Dad" Ar
derry began on April II, last, when Mrs.
Virginia Duke, a pretty young widow
from Winder. Ga. began a visit to the
home of c. w. Underdonk. of 1856 Cen
trial avenue Ardery's partner in the
Etowah barber shop. Mr.. Ardery
boarded with his partner and the story
of the courtship was written in four
brief chapters:
Friday-Mrs. Duke arrived from her
home at Winder
Saturday-Accompan by Mrs. I'm
derdonk, Mrs. Duke and Mr. Ardery
went automobile riding
Sunday-Mrs. Duke read a book t.
Mr. Ardery and he made love to her.
Monday-They were married and left
for Jacksonville, Fla. on their honey
moon
From the first Mr.. Ardery showed an
unmistakabe interest in Mrs. Duke,
and when the engagement was an
nounced to Mrs Underdonk she SAYS
she was not surprised at all, though
Ardery was as and Mrs Duke only %
Their honeymoon was little longer
than their engagement, and several
days after leaving Atlanta they re-
turned
They went directly to the UnderdonlS
home and arranged to live with them.
Nearly two months elapsed then Mr..
Ardery was taken with the illness from
which he died. Mrs Underdonk ac-
companied Mrs Ardery to the hus-
bands funeral, and said that tho
widow will remain at the Underdonk
home on Central avenue.

ANGUS GARDEN
IS REPRODUCED
1873 Varieties of Roses Bloom
Where Empress Josephine
Had Wonderful Park.

PARIS, June 20.-An interesting ex
pertinent has been made at the Chateau
of MaImaison, where the famous Gar
den of Roses of the Empress Joseph
inc has ben reconstructed. The garden
will be open to visitors from now on.
and 1913 varieties of roses will be seen
in full bloom, just as they are sup
posed originally to have been in the
Empress Josephine's famous garden. 1t
is known that she had particular fan
cy for roses, and went to lavish expense
to have the finest rose garden of her
day. They were catalogued by NJ. de
Mirbel in the year twelve of the Rev
olution. as the accounts state, but the
catalogue which contained the names
of more than 200 varieties has been
lost.
NJ. Jean Ajalbert, curator of the cha
teau and museum. assisted by NJ. Jules
Gravereaux, and helped by the funds
contributed by a generous American,
has succeeded in reconstructing most
of the varieties. NJ Gravereaux, in
searching through the records, found
1873 varieties of roses still extant which
could be identified as those that had
been cultivated under the direction of
the Empress Josephine. Specimens
have been brought from all over France
for the last two years and planted in
the beds exactly where they We're sup
posed to be fiourishing 100 years ago
NJ. Eugene Touchet helped to plan the
garden in the valley of the ancient park
Most of the roses are trimmed as trees
with single stem, and are now in
full bloom They are labelled with the
same names that the Empress Joseph
inc gave them. and some of these
names may be translated as follows
THE Loving Sweetheart" The Tender
Beauty" THE Pretty Sultana."
