FARMERS TO MEET
Plans for Securing State Farm Will
Be Considered.

Minot.-Through the activities Of
the Minot Commercial club which has
made plans for a general gathering Of
farmers to be held during the latter
part Of the present month, Minot
hopes to be able to secure n of the
farms which will be established by
the North Dakota Better Farming as.
sociation.
The committee which has been
placed in charge of the farmers gath
ering has already decided to invite
Director Thomas Cooper to the city
to make an address, and it is expected
that he will discuss the farm PROPOSE
ton and point out the methods which
must be adopted to fulfill the require
.ments.
The Minot Commercial club has al
ready been of material assistance to
the farmers in the territory, and not
the least interesting feature of it's
work was that Of bringing into Ward
county a large consignment Of pure
bred cattle, which have since been
sold to farmers who are going into
.dairying on a more or less extensive
scale.

Williston.-Smaller farms under the
federal irrigation projects In this Sec
ton b the slogan Of the Williston
Commercial club which is about, in a
unique manner, to accomplish that OBJ
jest. A club committee that Is
charged with obtaining options on
small tracts of lands, from the farm

pointed, and this committee is already

"The object Of this movement" says
Chairman Leonhardy in q statement
issued to the land owners interested,
is to assist tho farmers under the
project In the ssle Of their lands, es-
peoially in small tracts. with the idea
Of securing more settlers. as 1t would
seem from the statements of the
farmers that their larger holdings can-
not be as probably farmed as smaller
tracts. Another Of the principal ideas
in making this effort 10 that If the land
can be cut up into smaller tracts, it
will be much easier to secure acreage
for beet culture in the event of getting
a beet sugar factory established in
Williston.

paign," said Mr.. Warren. 1T was a
hot one. Whitehead was the first
man to put any ginger in the cam
paign. He was the editor of the
Grand Forks Press during that cam
paign, and the single handed fight
that he put up was a dandy. l used
to see him come into the Antlers
hotel from the press Office at one
O'Clock in the morning and get the
clerk to call him on the phone at
half past five. The Press was the only
democratic daily in the state.
And then he went out to Williston
and started his paper. 1t was the
first Democratic newspaper west of
Cando. The Republicans boycotted
him. They didn't want a Democratic
paper. But he jumped into the fight
and the first thing he began to do
was to boost for John Bruegger. He
simply worked overtime in spreading
tie Bruegger lame over the land
scape. And he did it in a convincing
way, too. A lot Of fellows at Willis
ton hated him for 1t, but he kept right
on boosting Bruegger, and when there
was a vacancy for the United States
senator's job that man Whitehead got
!!Bruegger's name before the people so
we'll that the public thought it might
be Bruegger. l was here when White
head got here. Bruegger had sem him.
They said that Whitehead didn't
sleep until the fight was over He
stayed till the last. And I'll tell you
right now that l believe that Brueg-
ger will make just as hard a fight for
Whitehead. He couldn't very well do
anything else. Whitehead Is a fight.

been no exception to the rule. He
was long ago tried by the true test
of the old-timer and found not want
ing. And yet, though he was a
!pioneer, he has refused to live in the
past. Departed glories take but little
lof his time. Colonel Greenleaf is of
today.
He didn't have much when he came
from Iowa. His greatest capital was
confidence. He wasn't afraid to take
IA chance. North Dakota looked good
to him, and he put out a little shingle
in Minot one day, and within a year
the Minot people had quit going away
from home for legal assistance. They
call him "Dank," the men, women and
children. He has been in some of the
biggest litigation in the state, and
at every turn of the road he has
been there fighting manfully and re-
sourcefully for his client. They
elected him mayor Of Minot, and
while he was mayor there was no
power behind the throne. Colonel
Greenleaf was the mayor, and under
him the city began it's first strong
steps toward bigger things. He had
many problems to contend with, but
he regarded the people of Minot as
his clients, and he gave them good
service early and late. He came into
the state as a young lawyer, unknown
and badly bent, and today he stands
as one of the great lawyers of the
northwest and a man who is always
ready to 'put one over for North Da-
'kota' when half a chance presents
itself.

WILL SELL A r LANDS
winston Commercial Club Seeks Smaller Tracts Un-
der Irrigation Project.

"The options which we ask the
farmers to give are so drawn that
while they hold the farmer to sell his
land at any time during the life of the
option, provided he still owns the land,
yet it leaves the farmer free to sell to
any one else at any time he may
choose to do 80. Nothing is binding
upon him to hold his land to be sold
by the commercial club, the whole
idea being to promote sales and not in
any way prevent them.
ANY transfers made by the Com
mercial club will be without any COM
mission or recompense of any kind to
be paid to It for securing the sales,
the buyer only paying the sum asked
by the farmer"
The smaller farm movement is one
that has been launched in other sec
lions of the country where federal ir-
rigation projects are maintained as

those projects, has been shown to be
less profitable than the small farm op-

LAND ELoPER AT LAST.
MeHenry County otielals Waited
Long but Finally Secured Man.

Towner.-Harry Watson was arrest
cd at Minot by Deputy Sheriff Morri-
son and was brought to Towner where
he IL now confined in the county Jail.
The charge against Watson is adultry
and wife dssertion, which charge was
brought by his wife, Mrs. Leota Wat
BOZ
Watson disappeared from Granville
during the early part of October sell
ing all his property and leaving his
wlle without e of support. 1t is
alleged he was accompanied by his
wife's sister, and the pair were traced
from Minneapolis to Winnipeg and
through Calgary, from which point
Miss Heath returned home. Watson
was later located at Coronation, Can,
and through the officials there Sheriff
Sampson was kept informed as to his
whereabouts. 1t was impossible to
extradite him under the above charge,
and he would have to be caught in the
states.
Early last week Sheriff Sampson re-
csivsd word that Watson had left
Coronation and was on his way to
British Columbia, but was going by
way of Spokane. Consequently he was
arrested at Minot. The preliminary
hearing will be had Jan. 8. c. w,

COMMON LAW KNOTS INVALID.
North Dakota Supreme Court Hands
Down Decision in, Several Cases.

FarEo.-The supreme court of North
Dakota holds that common law mar.
rtages are not valid in North Dakota.
The decision was rendered in the case
of Matthias Schumacher VS.. The Great
Northern and others. The court said
in part:
The syllabus of the case is in part
IS follows:
Prior to enactment of chapter 81,
laws Of 1890, the common law mar
riage was expressly recognized as
valid in this state, but by the enact
ment Of said chapter, which is still liz
force as sections 1892 and 4042, R. c.
1905, which expressly repealed the old
statute in toto it was unquestionably
the legislative intent to abrogate such
common law marriage in this state,
and such intent must accordingly be
given effect. The case is reversed.
