BULLETIN ON ALFALFA

A bulletin on alfalfa by L. R.
Waldron has just recently come from
the press. In the first part of this
bulletin Mr.. Waldron discusses al
falfa from the practical standpoint,
giving suggestions regarding the Sc
lection of the land, crop to precede
alfalfa, methods Of sowing, amount
of seed, care the first season, max
ing the hay, and similar topics.
A resume is given of it's value as
dairy feed and for other live stock.
There is also given short discussion
of seed production and the relation
of alfalfa to lime.
The second part deals with the stu
dies made at Dickinson regarding
drouth resistance and seed produc-
tion of alfalfa. From this part one
learns If alfalfa is to succeed in a
region of somewhat limited rainfall
it must be sown thinly. A very in
teresting discussion of this is taken
up with cuts to illustrate the au-
thor's argument.
To those intending to grow al
falfa, and it should become a gener-
al crop, this bulletin will doubtless
prove Of considerable values The
bulletin is free and may be had upon
applying to L. r. Waldron, Dickin-
son, North Dakota, or to President
]. H. Worst, Agricultural College,
North Dakota. ~ ss..,.a

Several rooms in different buildings
combined for the programs while
they were given separately in the

claim was for personal consumption,
was found in trunks seized here by
officials and which belonged to Geo.

are under arrest and who may face
charges of violating the prohibition
law.
Mcdonald and his companion were
arrested on "tip" given local Off

city the big consignment of liquor
was shipped. The bottles were sand
wiched between pieces Of wearing

NEW QUARTERS FOR 49,,
~ ?
jamestown Business Mems Organiza-
ton May Make Headquarters
at Elks Hall

Following the enthusiastic annual
meeting of the Jamestown CONNER
cial Club, held last week came the
desire of the members and officers to
acquire comfortable and convenient
club rooms for their use, and there
fore proposition was made to the
jamestown Elks at their business
meeting, Friday night, that the Com
mercial Club lease the use of the
parlor or club room on the second
floor and the billiard room on the
third floor for occupancy in conjunc-
ton with the Elks. The matter was
given a favorable decision by the
members of the lodge and it is there
fore probable that within a short
time the Commercial Club will be
installed in finer quarters than any
similar organization in the state.
The jamestown Commercial Club
has been rejunevated and under the
leadership of President A. E. Sim
mons it is the intention to bring the
business men of Jamestown togeth-
er more frequently for business and
social sessions, to create better and
more harmonious spirit all of which
will result to the advantage and
growth of our city.
1t is expected that the new club
room arrangement will work unus-
!. rally harmoniously as about ninety
per cent of the members of the Com
mercial Club are also members of
the Elks order, it is the intent that
the club and billiard room will be
open to the use of active members
of the Commercial Club organization.
The matter was turned over to the
board of trustees of the Elks lodge
to complete details of the agreement.
1t might be added for the benefit of
members not present at the meet
ing that the Elks will have at all
times the free use of the entire Home
and also the exclusive use of the
building upon meeting nights, and
other special occasions.
There has always been the need
of pleasant Commercial Club parlors,
where the business men could gather
for informal smokers and have some
regular place to meet and where the
secretary will have his desk. 1t is
possible that when the new library
building is constructed, and the
jamestown library leaves the City
Hall, permanent Commercial Club
quarters will be fitted up in the city
hall, now used by the library and
reading rooms.

A-GARDEN PARTY


ing party was given by the Cotillion
Club at armory hall Monday evening.
It was a garden party, the ball room
decorated to depictaa beautiful gar
den scene in the evening. Red roses
were hung in hundreds of streamers
from the ceiling. beams and adorned
the sides in wall pockets. A pretty
rose arbor stood at one end of the
ball room from which frappe was
served. A few red hearts were vis-
ible, suggestive of st. Valentine and
a picture of Abraham Lincoln, In
memory of Lincoln's birthday, hung
on one wall. A trellis of roses
screened the orchestra and large
rose screen hid the favors, the lights
we're softened with colored shades;
the entire effect was exquisite.

out in the early part of the evening
and the cotillion commenced, under
the leadership of Russell Chase, a.

gold baskets filed with bon bons,
red roses, dainty vanity mirrors and
pocket combs. One especially pretty
dance occurred when the ladies, each
wearing an immense garden or pic
ture hat to match or contrast with
her gown, appeared in the hall and
choosing partners, all formed into a
grand march with several intricate
figures. at the close Of which show
er of rose petals fell from an inn
mense central umbrella and the dan
GERS passed along the rose strewn
path. The last favor OF the cotil-
lion was q good night kiss dain-

FOR ASSESSOR, JOHN poLAN.

The candidacy Of John Dolan, coun-
ty assessor, for reelection has been
most kindly received throughout the
county, where not word Of COM
plant based upon real or, so far as
known, false grounds, has ever been
offered In regard to Mr.. Dolan's acts
as assessor or the manner in which he
conducted the affairs Of this import
ant Office.
In no other public official are the
taxpayers, both big and little, more
deeply interested than in the assessor
and ex-officio tax collector. They hope
for and expect high qualifications in
the others. but when it comes to the
assessor they demand that he be the
best fitted for the position of any of
those who are available, who may as
pire to the office. The essential quail
ifications are good business Judgment.
executive ability, thorough knowl-
edge Of property values and an ac-
quaintance with the Industrial condi-
tons OF the county. In the incum-
bent, Mr.. Dolan, these qualities are
happily combined, while his expert
ence and familiarity with the duties
Of the Office are additional assets to
his irreproachable character, fairness
and unquestionable honesty and in
tegrity.
Many OF the county's leading citi-
zens have, within the past two years
since he was elected assessor, taken
occasion to remark upon Mr.. Dolan's
careful and painstaking attention to
every detail of his work. None deny
that he is the kind of public servant
who does not seek to draw the maxi
mum amount of pay for the minimum
amount Of labor. He has been a hard
worker and close student of the con-
ditions with which his department of
the county government dealt. At
home he has given entire satisfaction
and in the state at large he is credit
ed with ability and knowledge that
are not excelled. The good Judgment
shown and the firm stand taken by
him In the valuations on property
last year, in the face of the impera-
tive demand made for a full cash
value and his refusal to be stampeded
into carrying out the fancifuI theory
In this county, insisting at all times
that the practical result would be the
payment of higher taxes, has been
the means of saving the taxpayers
thousands Of dollars and clearly dem
onstrating that IAN ounce of practice
Is worth more than a pound of the
ory."
A tax commission was appointed
last year to inquire into conditions
