low the standard. 1t is little less
than a miracle that the present light
plant has not broken down and left
the city almost entirely in darkness
and without power.
New Equipment
The matter of installing transform
ers of sufficient size and capacity to
properly carry the large number of
lights, will only be matter of lit
tie time, as it is understood that pre-
parations to meet this emergency have
already been made and number of
new transformers will be placed in
commission at no distant date. With
the one big handicap in the form of
the old plant out of the way, the re-
mainder promises to be comparatively
aasy in giving Williston an up to date
lighting system.
Electric City
Williston will be known as "The
Electric City," as we'll as the "City
of Opportunity" There are few, if
any, towns in the. state that can boast
of as reliable a source of power and
light as the local arrangement will
ultimately afford With the coming
of dependable power the way is be
ing gradually paved for modern sys-
tenn of street lighting in the business
sections, and it will come sooner or
later as an indirect result Of the new
lighting facilities. Williston will then
rank as "The City Beautiful"
The Rates
No announcement has been made as
to whether the rates for power and
light will be altered in connection with
the new arrangement.

BANK DEPOSITS
SHOW PROSPERITY
STATEMENTS OF LOCAL BANKS
SHOW SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE
CONDITIONS IN STATE GOOD

There is no more accurate barome-
ter of general prosperity, both in the
city and on the farm, than the growth
of the bank deposits.
Reports of three of the local banks
published in this paper last week show
total deposits of $754,9S4.OO. This is a
substantial increase over last year.
One of the most encouraging features
of banking growth in the state, ac-
cording to leading bankers, is the fact
that the bankers of North Dakota: are
carrying their accounts largely In
North Dakota and not in the eastern
cities.

RESISTANT

STRAINS OF FLAX PRODUCEn'
THAT HAVE POWER TO GROW
ON OLD FLAX-CROPPED
LAND-CO-OPERATIVE..

The Botanical Department OF the.
North Dakota Agricultural College,
after some years Of seed selection
methods and definite cropping expert
ments, has produced strains Of flax
that have the power to grow on old
flax croped wilt-sick lands and produce
approximately normal yields Of flax
In order that North Dakota may
have direct benefit of the methods and
information which has cost the state
so much money to obtain, it is sugges-
ted that these methods be carried dir
ect to the farmer, and such manner
that the benefits will come in the
shortest possible time, and in such
manner that the benefits will be OF
permanent value to the state as a
whole.
In order to accomplish this, it 10
proposed that Flax Growers Asso-
citation be organized the membership

growers, one to several operaan4. I.

Before another issue Of the Graphic
is printed the city Of Williston will
be using electric power supplied by
the electric units at the government
irrigation plant. The new order OF
things electrically will take place

Optimistic View
The people Of the city of Williston
have every reason to be optomistic,
in view Of this step forward, in being
able to obtain for number of years
under contract, an absolutely depend

should go far toward assuring the fu-

Mr. E. w. Jeffrey, who owns farm
few miles northeast of Williston,
built silo in 1911. It's dimensions
are ID #. in diameter and 81 feet in
height, containing 10 tons Of silage.
Twenty acres of corn were planted
and cultivated. The product filled the
silo and left 30 tons for fodder. Costs
were as follows:
Seed at $500 per bushel.. 5000

The cost Of putting the corn into
the silo was:

Five teams and drivers s $500
One man to run cutter 500
One man to run engine 800
Total ....-.......-.-......-.--... 45.OO
One hundred and ten tons of silage
cost therefore $3.50 or $1.36 per ton.
Thirty pounds of silage is the daily
ration for one COW, or board bill Of
two cents per day not counting the
cost of passing the feed to the ami
mails.
Mr.. Jeffrey fed thirty cows for
eight months from this silo. The av-
erage weekly income per COW was $4
or a total income of over $500 from
80 head from the feed produced by
twenty acres Of land.

they were doing 1t to advertise with
out expense. So 1t all went well un-
til the afternoon when Strickland w.

away certain doctor had a call from

er ostentatiously. Some Of the peo-
pie who knew of the arrangement

Coffee probably causes more bilious
