MIR. OWEN GILLESPY KING OF
 MYSTIC HIGHLANDERS BALL

""rhe Mystic Highlanders," secret or ganization of women, gave their first an nual ball Tuesday night August 20. What would be most interesting to our readers, 'sWho are the Mystic Highlanders?" we cannot answer because we do not know. What we do know Is that the ball was most brilliant success. At 9;30 the beauti- full velvet curtain on the stage in the ball room was parted to disclose tableau that was a complete surprise to all the onlookers. Sixty "Highlanders' were con- gregated on the stage around queen, v'ho sat in state on a gorgeously deco rated throne. The Highlanders were all costumed exactly alike in dainty frocks of white, with net fichus and net caps, and on each was pinned huge bunch of red roses. White masks with lace ruff fles hid these fair damsels from recoeni- tion. Most tantalzng of all was the fact that even the fair queen was unknown and remained unknown The queen wore a beautiful crown of white brilliants with red ornaments and from her shoulders hung a handosem court train of red with white lining with a border of brilliants. At her feet lsnelt the page In court suit of white with a mantle to match the

 Did you discuss with Mrs. Daviess, her favorite authors?' I asked. I always think if is interesting to know what author another admires.''
 Her favorite book she told me. was the Pilgrims Progress, was the answer.
 Mrs. Daviess loves Browning and his poems stand very high in her. admiration. She reads Balzac with much pleasure and of the modernlsts she prefers Mark Twain's humor. and Edna Ferber, who has been named as O. Henrys clever successor. in the short story line.

MUCH POULTRY RAISED

FARGO. Jan. 4-The raising of poul
try in the state of North Dakota has
assumed vast Importance and it is
only question of time until "the lit
tie brown hen" will be an important
part in the production of the state.
From one station in a single day OF
the present season Is. 900 pounds OF
turkeys were shipped to Montana. One
poultry raiser in the state alone
matched out 100000 young chicks dur
ing the last season.
The efforts of the poultry associa
ton have been largely responsible fol
this increase in the production OF
poultry throughout the state, for tt
has been demonstrated that North
Dakota is just as good state as any
for the raising of poultry and Is much
better than the average state.
The officers of the association com
pose the executive committee and
they are all Fargo men, and propose
from now on to begin an active cam
paign for making the show all thai
they expect it to be.

MORE settlers
FOR THIS STATE

Belfeld Times: With the firm be-
lief that North Dakota has a bright
future. Baron E. van Herdt of Evers-
burg, director of one of the strongest
and most conservative financial insti-
buttons of continental Europe, the
Nederlandsche Handel Maatcshapply
CT Amsterdam, and president OF syn
dictate of Holland capitalists that last
year bought and began the colonial
ton of $4,000 acres of land near Bel
field. N. D., said that next year will
witness an addition to the number OF
Hollanders on the land. The Holland
financier lives at Blumendahl. He
sits on a board of directors that rep
resents investments in Java and the
Dutch East Indies, the Straits settle
ment, Batavia, China and Japan, and
that entered North Dakota last year.
1T was not a good year in the part
of North Dakota where our land is
the baron said, "but that makes no
difference. We will continue our COL
onizat:on work permanently, conf,
dent of good years that will follow"
William F. Gubius, manager of the
syndicate lands at this place, who &C
companied the baron as far as Mime
apolis on his return from an inspec-
ton of the syndicate holdings in Stark
county, said that next year will prob
ably witness the entry into the north
west Of many more Hollanders.
81 am aware that Minnesota has a
Hollander colonization plan in oper-
ation," Mr.. Gubius said. 1T differs
from ours, which is without religious
or other affiliation and is purely on a
financial basis. Last year the produce
of grain while not SO bad as it might
have been, was nowhere near as large
as it would have been, with better
weather or as it will be in good
year. But the Hollanders are con-
sentative people, We do not expect to
make great profits at once and where
we know that a proposition has mer
it we are content to stick by it.
