BARNES COUNTY
NEEDS MANY men

Valley City, N. D., July 13.--If moth
ing happens to the grain crop of
Barnes county from now on, there Is
evidence that there will be scarcity
of help. 1t is estimated that it will
require at least one extra man to eV-
cry quarter, on an average throughout
the county, and that being true, nearly
5000 men can find employment within
the borders Of Barnes county this fall.
Owing to the continuous and timely
rains, growth of straw is abundant,
the stooling was excellent and the
heads are out in generous length--au
of which indicates that it will be 40
small task to handle the grain and get
1t from the field to the elevator.
During the past ten days, rains
have visited practically every section
of the coutry and unless hail visits
us, or rust attacks, nothing can pre-
vent a big harvest.
Haying is now on, and the growth
of grass has been luxuriant, and now,
the cry for help is heard on every
hand. The rye harvest will be on in
earnest within week, and a large
acreage was put in last fall, and 1t is
generally good. The heads are extra
long and filed to the tip in most cases.
1t will be well for every farmer in
the county who is going to need help,
at reasonable hire to write to friends
and relatives in the east to have re-
liable men Of quality come to North
Dakota and help care for the crops.
Now is the time to act. The "hobo"
element will stick for big wages, and
the only way to protect oneself is to
have help of known worth come from
among friends in the east.

Fourth Of July Fireworks.

Wahpeton GIope: breckenridge
had a little shooting affray last Tues
day evening, July 8, when the police
man shot George Willis, a young man
from this side who is known as
FTenchy. 1t appears that Willis pal
had been drinking all that day with
another fellow, and about dusk Willis
had gone over to the other side to take
him home. Both had been drinking
heavily all day, and when Willis tried
to take his pal home the other fellow
objected, saying that he would take
him home. This made Willis angry
and the two commenced lighting, when
the policeman came up and triei to
separate them. Willis was SO enra ged
that he took the policeman's club
away and struck him about the face
and the officer, in order to defend
himself, discharged his revolver
shooting Willis in the leg. The shoot
ing was not serious, as Willis was out
the next day.

LED DUAL LIFE
TO SPARE CHILDREN

Milwaukee, July 1s.-District At
torney label declares that the former
proprietress Of house of i'll fame,
who had been leading dual life,
would receive her two children, now
attending college, In the place In which
revelry at the time ran riot.
The son who is 1S years of age and
the daughter who is is years Of age,
have been attending a college in
Minnesota and usually stayed with
their grandparents in North Dakota, ?
said the district attorney. whenever
the children came to Milwaukee she
escorted them to another home, which
she would say was their own. Upon
their departure she returned to her old
haunts.
This woman has faith that the
district is now clean and has informed
me that she will not dupe her children
but will have them visit her at her
present location. She has furnished a
ten-room house, and because she de-
sires to engage in the rooming busi-
ness, | have consented to her living in
her present location for short time
Several women have made requests
to be lalowed to conduct roorning
houses in the district but l have de-
MED al such applications"

rants have been issued f0r the arrest
of Paul Dreager, and Mr.. and Mrs
Julius Dreager, charged with the rob-
berry of G. A. Chinberg's house a

some silverware, cameras, a field glass,
ETC., and most of the loot was found

fore Justice Jost resulted in the boy
Paul being held to district court for
trial, and the examination of the par
ents continued for two weeks. They
claimed that the articles found in
their possession came from a hole in
Jones pasture on the north side Of
town, but Justice Jost could not be
convinced Of the truthfulness of this
story. The hearing was attended by
large crowd of interested spectators.

g charge Of criminal libel as the result
OF articles appearing in The Bismarck

preliminary hearing next Wednesday
az 10 q. m. before Justice Olsen, q
change of venue having been taken
from Justice Pierce. The complaints
We're preferred by E. g. Patterson. Mr..

not consider himself professional
politician dependent upon politics for
a living, but that he Is business man
and the articles appearing in the pa

has devoted four weeks Of careful

The loss of his hearing was sad mis-
fortune and the future looked very
dark. OF course, MIR. Farrar had tried
one thing after another; he had fol-
lowed medical advice, had consulted
specialists and had adopted various de-
vices and remedies, but all to no avail.
He felt that he was doomed to end his
life in that melancholic stiffness which
Is dreaded by all who are inclined to-
ward deafness.
MIR. Farrar has always been popular
and all his friends were exceedingly
sympathic, but even these kind sentt-
ments did not appease his deep deJec-
tion. One day, however, he happened
to learn Of a simple and harmless home
Treatment, which he decided to, try,
He did not have much hope, because
be had been disappointed in his pre-
Nous attempts. Yet in this case, to his
surprise and joy, he found that his
hearing began to improve almost i'm
uaediately, and it continued until he be-
came so well that he has recently done
jnry duty, listening to the various wit
nesses and the court proceedings with
o1t the slightest difficulty.
3 Mr.. Farrar is so delighted with the
manner in which he was liberated from
the thraldom of deafness and head
noises, as well as the way in which his
health was generally improved, that he
is giving information about this wond-
erful treatment to all who write him.
He has nothing to sell, but ne Will
cheerfully send full particulars OF how
his own hearing was restored, and VIII
tell how others may get the same treat
Iaent Persons of all ages-men, women
and children--have followed the infor-
nation given by Mr.. Farrar, and many
cures of deafness have been reported
after all else has failed. To obtain the
desired information 1t is only necessary
to write to Mr.. Henry A. Farrar, 45SA
Main street Hanover, Mass, enclosing 6
a stamped envelope for reply.
