WAIT THIRTY YEARS TO WE'D
German Couple Remain Faithful to
Each other In Order to Enjoy
Legacy Of an Eccentric Aunt.

Berlin.-An extraordinary romance
Of love is reported from Elbing, where
Hermann Hessberg, a slipper-maker,
has just married lady to whom he
had been engaged for 80 years.
When Hessberg was young man of
twenty eight he fell in love and was
about to marry. To his chagrin, how.
ever-and we may suppose equally to
that of his fiancee-a wealthy aunt,
upon whose financial assistance the
lovers had been counting, forbade the
marriage under penalty Of disinher-
itance. The ceremony was according
ly postponed, and Hessberg and his
bride-elect awaited with what amount
of patience they could summon for the
removal of the only barrier that still
kept them apart.
Before long the aunt died, and the
last obstancle to happiness seemed to
have been surmounted. But when her
will was opened the lovers found that
her nephew had been appointed her
heir upon one condition. That condi-
ton was that he did not marry the
lady of his lover for at least another
30 years. This intelligence was COM
municated to the unhappy girl, and,
with stoical resignation, the lovers
settled themselves down to the pros
pect of 80 years courtship. Their
period of probation has now expired.
and they have become man and wife.
The marriage, however, had to take
place in the house of the bridegroom,
who is confined to his room with a
heart complaint.

Months ago the mother and her

Mrs. Lipsitz lived to enjoy the prom

she called to her daughter Mariese.

had become affected. Mariese spoke.
Mrs. Lipsitz leaned forward to listen.

poetry and superstition of her race.

Mrs. Lipsitz, before her death, said
she was happy that she was to die in
America. Persecution in Russia had
embittered her life there. When she
left home, it was in the hope she
would find freedom. The complica-

her, but when Mariese regained her
voice she felt compensated. When
she died the daughter. who had been
dumb since little girl, was at her
bedside and called to her continually.
Mrs. Lipsitz could not hear. but she
appeared to understand and smiled.

Center Helps Them to Solve PerpIex-
ing Problems in Agriculture.

Grand Forks.-O. B. Center, Expert
for the Better Farming association of
Grand Forks county, says the farm
ers receive him very cordially, in fact
many are enthusiastic over the work
and are taking a great deal of in
terest in the improved methods as
suggested by him.
In one day recently Mr. Center
drove out from Larimore, covering
thirty-fve miles, visiting many farm
ers, lending assistance and giving in
says, was desirous of ascertaining the
adaptability of a certain piece OF his
land to alfalfa, and another was in
terested in corn and alfalfa. Mr.. Cen
ter made examinations and gave them
the necessary instructions, which
they promised to carry out in accord
ance with the requirements of the as
sociation. Another farmer who suspi-
cioned that quack grass was getting
a hold on his land, called Mr.. Center
in for an examination. The suspicious
proved to be we'll founded, as it was
shown that this pesky plant had Sc
cured pretty good foothold. The
treatment for this is rigid sum-
merfallowing-wha Mr.. Center terms
"summerfallowing with avengeance."
The plan is to be carried out.
An interesting experiment is to be
made on the farm of County Commits
siener Pourpore this week, where the
eradication of king head will be at
tempted. This process consists of a
spray containing iron sulphate, which
is said to kill the weed without harm
ing the grain. The attempt will be
watched with interest.
The association stands ready and
willing to do all in it's power to assist
the farmers Of this county in over
coming the difficulties encountered on
the farm, and Mr.. Center, will be
pleased to solve or assist in solving a
problem of any sort in any way that
he can.

HOW 70 ORGANIZE A
COOPERATIVE CREAMERY

port and if it is desired to effect a
permanent organization letter to the
secretary of state will secure blanks
and information necessary to form
corporation. The strength of any co.
operative organization depends great
deal upon the number of persons in.
terested in the matter For that rea.
son it is advisable to secure as many
shareholders as possible. 1t is urged
that a limit of four be put upon the
number of $25 shares which may be
held by any one person thus insurins
wider distribution of interests.
The first requisite of a creamery ia
sufficient number of COWS. With the
kind found in the northwest, no cream.
cry can hope to succeed without at
least 4OO COWS within radius of five
miles from the creamery. This is the
very point the creamery promoter"
will overlook and large percentage
OF the closed creameries over the
country have been built by the pro.
! moter and failed from lack of COWS
together with too large an investment
in building and equipment.
The cost of building, equipping and
operating a creamery will depend
upon the volume of business. For the
northwest a building sufficient to
handle the product of 400 COWS, if put
up by the company, ought to cost not
! over $1,SOO, if built by the promoter
often costs $4,000. The machinery re,
quired to properly equip such cream.
. cry will depend largely upon the vol.
ume of business. 1t is much better to
begin with only what is actually neces,
sary, then later to install such machin.
cry as needed. In many Of the pro.
moter's creameries can be found ex.
pensive new machinery that has been
cast aside because there is no use for
1t. The first cost of starting cream.
cry is large enough at best and to have
a lot OF useless machinery cast aside
is needless expense. 1t is always ad,
visable to install new machinery,
which for the average creamery will
cost close to $1,000, for the loss in
efllclency of second hand equipment
often will more than offset the addi
tional cost of new.
The details and cost of operating
are best determined by those interest
ed in the company and would var,
with the volume of business. Detailed
information concerning co-operativ,
organization may be had upon reques
from the dairy department of the agr1
cultural college.

Fargo-Every spring the question of
organizing creamery companies come
up for consideration, says G. L. Martin,
professor of da.lying at the North Da-
kota Agricultural college. This is es-
pecially true in sections like the north
west where the farmers are beginning
to realize that the dairy COW is a fac
tor that needs to be considered where
the old system of grain farming is to
be replaced by a system of more di-
versitied farming.
The local creamery is necessity
where the largest returns are desired
from the dairy business so the ques-
ton of proper organization is very i'm
portant for where thoroughly organ
lied the cooperative creamery seldom
fails.
How to Organize.
There are two ways of forming
creamery organizations. One way is
to have it done by creamery promoters
persons interested only from their
own standpoint and the other way is
for the farmers to do it themselves.
farmers and business men in the local
ity where such an organization Is de-
sired. Arrange to have attend some
disinterested dairymen from the de-
partment of agriculture, state dairy
commission or the agricultural college
who is thoroughly familiar with every
detail of the business, willing to CO.
operate freely and able to answer any
question that may come from the
farmers. An excellent plan is to in
vite some farmer who is an officer in
some successful cooperative creamery
in neighboring locality to be present
at the meeting. Frequently good
to a community where good cooper
ative creamery Is in operation and
have him learn the plan Of organiza-
tion and operation. Any of these
methods will aid in getting the proper
foundation laid for good cooperative
organization. A cooperative creamery

of a thorough knowledge from the
