WANTS $50 Per
ACRE FOR CROP
ANDREW GRoNLuND ASKS THIS.
PRICE FROM THE GREAT
NORTHERN ROAD.

Bowbells, N. D., Aug. 24.-Andrew
Gronlund OF south of the city holds
his crop a I $50 per acre, and win not
sell it to the Great Northern Railway
Co. for any less. He is willing to sell
his land to the railroad company for
about the same price as is being paid
his neighbors, but ne considers his
crop worth 500 per acre. The right
of-way man has been paying all farm
ers $15 per acre for grain crops
through which the road will be con-
structed, in addition to the price of
the land, but is unable to get Mr..
Gronlund to come down any on his
price.
Most people will think that $40
is altogether too much to pay for
each acre of any standing grain, and
naturally a smile comes to their face
when they hear what Mr.. Gronlund is
holding his grain at. On the other
hand to talk with Mr.. Gronlund and
feel that he Is justified in asking the
price. Last spring Mr.. c. bought
q quantity of seed oats for $12.50 per
bushel, which were guaranteed to
produced a larger crop than other seed
oats on the market. He seeded the
grain In ground that he spent much
time in preparing. and as a result he
a a stand that he feels certain will
go 100 bushels to the acre. The grain
about four feet high and is as
thick as 1t can stand. During the
past month or more he took orders
from different farmers for this grain
after it was threshed and has already
sold about all he can spare for $3.50
per bushel. At this rate the crop is
worth to him $3.50 per acre If it yields
100 bushels to the acre. Even after
deducting the expense of cutting,
stacking and ~threshing he would real
lie a great deal more than 500 per
acre.
G. u Scott, the right-of-Way man,
states that the crop is not worth $50
an acre to the railroad company, and
that grading on Mr.. Gronlund's land
would be deferred until he had his oats
cut.

POT.GANG FOOD
UCRFOR CLERK

Sheldon, N. D., Aug. 24.-Deathly
i'll and without funds to procure the
necessary medical aid. Chas. Weeks,
a transient who came to this vicinity
from Peoria, ILL.,, a few weeks 6 to
labor in the harvest fields, was found
by Enderlin citizens last Saturday,
who Immediately notified the proper
authorities. County Commissioner
Louis Howells and County Physician
P. j. Weyrens autoed over- to Ender-
lin and brought the unfortunate man
to Sheldon, securing a room at the
Grand Pacific hotel, where he could
be given proper medical attention.
The physician at first thought that
Weeks was threatened with typhoid
fever, but it has since developed that
he is suffering from accute stomach
trouble. AS soon as he is able to
travel he will ecure aid from his rel
atives at Peoria and return to his
home.
Lured by the big wages and glitter
ing signs Of men wanted for the har-
vest fields, young Weeks resigned a
lucrative clerical position with a large
Peoria concern and came west with
the tide of harvest hands. He is
about Is years Of age. Of slender
build, and while capable of performing
the labor required, he was not used
to the food that vas set UP by mem
bers of the pot gang, which brought
on his illness.
He comes from a well to do family
and has a brother that is a civil en-
gineer at Spokane.

RAISE POTATOES
SAYS COOPER
He SAYS FARMERS SHOULD NOT
BE DISCOURAGED BY TEN
PORARY Low PRICE.

Minot, N. D, Aug. 24.-Sec. Thomas
Cooper of the North Dakota Better
Farming association, who is making a
tour of Ward, Renville and Burke
counties, believes that North Dakota
farmers should plant more potatoes.
Experience has shown that North
Dakota can grow the finest potatoes
in the world. A potato crop failure
in this state has never been known.
There are many advantages of a po-
tato crop. In the first place, If the
price is fair, as it usually is, the crop
brings a big money yield per acre.
Then, the summer cultivating Of the
potatoes kills the weeds and gets the
land in the best of condition for a
succeeding grain crop. A potato crop
is better than summer following, for
the continuous cultivation followed
by the digging in the fall, works up
the ground in excellent shape and
kills all the weeds.
Farmers should not be discouraged
by a temporary depression in the
potato price. The price this year
may be low, but this should not dis
courage the farmers. Next year the
price is likely to be high, for two low
prices in succession are seldom expert
enced. 81 |'... .,'@

Natures Creation, my sister sent me a
bottle to try, / had n 20 faith in the
remedy whatever, and laughed at and
ridiculed my sister for spending her
money for worthless patent medicines.
But because she had taken enough
interest to spend the money for a bot
tie of the remedy, 1 decided to give 1t
a trial. Much to my surprise and pleas
ure, my recovery was rapid and pro-

one Man SHOT;
POKER PLAYERS
we're HELD UP

Darlington, N. D. Aug. 24.-Throw-
ing a board owe the camp fire that
was shedding light for a poker game,
four holdup men attempted to rob the
players at the jungle camp, near the
Northern Pacific stockyards. One OF
the players, Irvine Ward, of Picatonica,
ILL.,. while running to escape, was shot
twice. One bullet went through the
calf Of his leg and one scraped his
arm. He was also beaten over the
head with a revolver. The other play
ers escaped uninjured.
Three of the four holdup men were
masked and at least two of them
carried r~evolvers. The police have
this week arrested three men, who
are said to be the men engaged in
the hold up, They give their names
at Pat Murphy, Ryan and slim"
They are held in the county Jail. 1t
is claimed they have been identified
as the men who pulled off the rob-
berry.
One Of the poker players had a
wallet containing $57. He threw it
into the grass and after the excite
ment was over, returned and found
it. Ward had about $40 on his
clothes.
The robbers obtained what money
was in the pot" for their work. 1t
amounted to only a few dollars.
Ward was able to hobble up town
and his wounds were dressed by a
surgeon. He was confined to a bed
a few days but is around now with
the aid Of crutches.
The three men in Jail have not yet
been given a preliminary hearing, but
1t is expected they will be arraigned
within a few days. '.'

Mr.. j. w. Price of Lakota was seen

natural science methods are employed:
1T was in the fall of 1905. My

flesh of my leg was crushed to a
pulp and had l not flung myself full
length on the ground ava from the
separator, 1 wouldn't be here now.
AS it was, the clothes were pretty
nearly pulled off me.
THE agony was awful and they
could hear my cries at the house far
distant.
Since that time 1 have tried nine
different health resorts without re-
ceiving any benefit. MY condition was
so bad that me merciful7 doctor told
my brother that since medical science
could do nothing it would be best to
spare my suffering and give me a drug
that would send me peacefully into
the next world. My brother refused,
and as a last resort I went to DR.. Cox
in Fargo.
His treatments were effective and
today I am a cured man." And to

perfectly healed and he was in truth
a cured man. He said, II don't look
much like a dead one, do I. I only
wish I had tried DR.. Cox long before,
so that / would not have suffered those
long years.
Il wish that you would refer all
people suffering as l did to me and /
will be more than glad to tell them
about DR.. Cox's wonderful method"
Dr.. Cox has been for years one of
the leading practitioners of this Sec

use of drugs or the knife. His loca-
