The COURT AT MEDORA
CARBERRY MURDER CASE

Things were going rather slowly al
Medora the first of the week where the
jury for the Thomas Carberry murder
case was being secured w. F. Burnett
of this city was assisting RI. Gallagher
in the prosecution. It was understood
that Joseph Denoyer of Beach was de-
Tending. Carberry is charged with killing
a sheepherder at Marmarth. A. W. Bell
and D. F. Olmstead were acquitted.
In the replevin case of Alfred White
VS. Andrew Heleerson, the jury found
for plaintiff. awarding eight tons OF
hay and costs which amounted to some
thing over 500. Thomas H. Pugh was
handling Mr.. Whites case which was
up last week. Heleerson cut hay on
the White land and hauled it away.
There is an assault case and also a civil
damage case for SIS, 600. as the outgrowth
of the trouble, but it is doubtful if the
plaintiff will feel like pressing the case
now. Mr.. Burnett appears for Mr.. White
in the untried actions.
Herbert Glass of Minot pleaded guilty
to blindpiggine, also Emmit Marvin.
The latter escaped an officer at Sentinel
Butte but a recaptured the following
morning, after he had frosted his face.
William Maxwell was found guilty of
sodomy.

farmer, what would you think OF m
business man who works only through
the summer months and lays idle in the
winter?' Would you think he would
make any SUGGEST. I doubt it. This is
similar to the case of the farmer. Some
farmers again would keep a few head of
cattle, but are not able to get enough
feed. My answe is: Raise. your feed in
the form of corn. millet and rye. Rye
grows almost a sur crop and it yields
from M to two and one half tons to
the acre. 1t is good feed for cattle and
horses in the winter. Horses will prefer
it to prairie hay. You have to sow the
rye the first part of April and cut ii

ANNUAL Mask BALL
MANY SPECTATORS There

The annual masquerade ball of the
Ladies of the Maccabees at the armory
last Friday evening was as we'll enjoyed
as any of the previous ones. Owing to
the cold weather not as many as usual
were in disguise, but there were specta-
tors in abundance and all enjoyed the
dance after II O'Clock, when the un-
masking took place.
Prizes were given as follows: Mrs.
VIM. Flake, best dressed lady; Miss
Jennie Holton, most comically dressed
lady L. W. Sumner. best costumed gen.
tleman and VIM. Flake MOST ludicrous
costume. In the masked prize waltz
Donald Hunter and Miss Maud Rattan
were given the honors.
MI. and Mrs. Fred Wilson served a
splendid supper in the Commercial Club
to. all who cared to partake and
the music by the Unique orchestra was
good.
The ladies worked hard to make the
entertainment a success and succeeded
in selling a large number of tickets.
For the sale of tickets. sides were
chosen, Mrs. j. A. McAndress and Mrs.
VIM. Weathers, captains. and it was
agreed that the losing side banquet the
winners. Mrs. Weathers and her chosen

too tough; it has a bitter taste and
cattle don't like 1t.
As I stated before, my crop looked
good even in dry weather. but the last
part of Juhe we had q hail storm which
destroyed everything. I only harvested
Is acres of wheat and threshed 1O4
bushels and from q acres of oats, 270
bushels. I had about IS acres of rye
which was ready to cut at the time the
storm came and the prospect was to
get about a ton to the acre, but it was
pounded fiat to the ground and got
nothing.
In the year 1910 l threshed q bushels
of wheat to the acre and from 1910 to.
1911 inclusive, for which period I have
kept a record. 12H bushels on land

AN OLD Time farmer
GIVES HIS EXPERIENCE

Richardton, January IL, 1912.
Having noticed the explanation of
dry farming and the methods used in
the PRESS for several weeks, l thought
it would be of interest to farmers in
Western North Dakota to learn the ex-
p%erience l had in farming for a number
of years. 1t used to be a common prac-
tice. and it is still by a good many
farmers. to raise only wheat year after
year. They think that this method
will wear the land out and the first dry
season we have a crop failure is the re-
suit. They lay it entirely to the dry
season and insufficient rainfall. and
never think that they are partly to blame
themselves for not getting a crop. If
they would start different methods of
farming and follow a proper crop rota-
ton. they would probably raise a fair
crop in a dry year.
As a rule on summer faIlOwed land l
raise only wheat, oats. speltz, millet
and rye on fall blowing. I prefer fall
blowing to spring blowing for the rea-
son of not losing too much time in the
spring and giving me a chance t get
through seeding before the first of May.
Some speakers at the dry farming con-
eress made the remark not to plow
when the land is dry. don't agree
with those gentlemen.
For example. in the year of 1910 I did
my summer following between the 18th
day of June and 18th day of July,
when it vas dry. had t sharpen the
plow shares every day, and il got so
dry I had to stop blowing and had
about five acres left. l waited a week
or so when we had a good heavy rain.
which soaked down about six inches.
So l plowed those five acres after the
rain and had fine blowing. l narrowed
this land several times. the same, as the
rest of the summer fallow to keep the
weeds down and to preserve the moist

started when the growing If the wheat
came to a standstill with a prospect
of getting about 10 bushels to the acre
as an average from the 80 acres which
I plowed when it was dry. the. previous
year.
The five acres which l plowed when
it was wet, dried out completely. So I

FORESIGHT PAID WELL
HOW LoNGHEADED FARMER
REAPED A SMALL FORTUNE.
May Have Been Some Luck In the
Operation but TWAS Mainly
Good Business.

A worker cleared $500 in eight
months by being good long range
weather prognosticator.
There is a small farm of 100 acres
up at Lake Geneva owned by William
A. Moos. Some of the land is low and
at times is flooded with water. In
dry seasons 1t produces an immense
quantity of marsh hay salable at a
good cash price.
Last March William Dipple, a Ra-
cine county Englishman. looked ahead
and figured out that the coming sea
son would be dry and that there
would be a big harvest of grass on
the Moos swamps. Acting on this be
lief, he offered Moos $3.50 spot cash
as rental for the 100 acres for one
year.
At this writing Dipple has sold $500
worth of hay and he has a quantity
worth 5000 in the barn. He had, be-
sides. the marsh stuff. big yield OF
timothy. all of which he was able to
harvest without being troubled with
water at any time. Besides the hay
he cleared about $3.50 from poultry,
hogs and grain. He also had his liv-
ing for self and family.
A few days ago Moos came along
and told Dipple that he had sold the
farm. Dipple's lease ran until next
March, but Moos offered him $225 to
move off at once, and Dipple is NOV
Ing to town, having become a retired
farmer in eight months with $1,000
cash to the good.
If this farmer has any sure way of
predicting dry season he keeps II
to himself, but the old timers are won
dering how Dipple happened to hit IT
so well, for in other years the water
ruined crop after crop SO that 1t was
not worth cutting. Some of the hay
was sold as high as SIS a ton. and
the lowest price for the marsh grade
was S14.

Clean Money.

United States Treasurer McClung
has recommended in his annual report
that congress provide additional facili-
ties lor exchanging old and defaced
United States paper currency for new.
Asserting that there is a widespread
interest which advocates cleaner
and more sanitary currency, he says
that the sentiment is a laudable one
and should be attainable because the
expense is but a tritie compared with
the beneficial results. 1t has been
demonstrated that bacteria attach
themselves readily to paper money,

Health Essential to Workers.

Practical men and philosophers,
workers in every sphere, are pretty
generally agreed that health is one Of
the prime essentials to effectiveness.
Schopenhauer, who discusses human
happiness more for the reason that
the lives Of most men fall short Of
even poor ideal than for any other,
says: Health outweighs all other
blessings so much that one may real
ly say that healthy beggar is happier
than an ailing king" Or again: 90
secure and promote this feeling of
cheerfulness should be the supreme
aim Of all our endeavors after happt-
ness. Now, it is certain that nothing
contributes so little to cheerfulness as
riches, or 80 much. as health. .
We should try as much as possible
to maintain a high degree Of health;
for cheerfulness is the very flower Of
It."
And again, this philosopher says:
''Nine-tenths of our happiness depends
upon health alone. With health every
thing is a source of pleasure; without
1t, nothing else, whatever 1t may be-,
is enjoyable; even the other personal
blessings-a great mind, happy teru-
perament-are degraded and dwarfed
for want of It. So it IL really with
good reason that when two people
meet, the first thing they do is to in
Quire after each others health, and to
express the hope that 1t is good; for
good health is by far the most impor-
tant element in human happiness. 1t
follows from all this that the greatest
of follies is to sacrifice health for any
other kind Of happiness. Everything
else should be postponed to it"
Others who have studied the world
as earnestly as Schopenhauer have
said these same things We all say
them when we are i'll, but straightway
forget them when we are reasonably
well.

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM
Only Way to Get Rid of Them, and
Occasion Was Made a Good
Object Lesson.

A ramshackle building in Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest of the local Anti-TubercuIosis
league, because it was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be properly fumigated.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour of destruction and giving rea-
sons for the burning were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the s-lacards said: Within the
past is months two men who sold
fruit, etc, here have died OF tuber-
culosis, but unconsciously left millions
of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is so open that
it cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means of disinfect-
ing is by fire"
At the appointed hour, while mil
lions of tuberculosis germs were be
ing burned, 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis
tributed to the crowd looking on.

There were assembled in New
York city the other day a score or
more of business men, interested In
great enterprise. They had gath
cred to select a manager for their
undertaking, and had considered one
name after another when that OF a
comparatively young man was
brought to their attention. When ms
name was announced well known
banker remarked: 81 believe that Is

That young man was made the
head of one of the biggest business
enterprises In the country. because
ne could be depended on. he pos
sessed the quality of dependaoility'
of making good his word. OF deliver

and. indeed every small undertaking
seeks this same quality in its en-
ployes. 1t does so because 1t must
depend on them for much OF its sue

Some young men are dependable
because they are naturally so. They
are born that way; others because
they acquire the desirable quality. AT
first they may have to exert great
effort to make good, but constant en-
deavor lessons the dif1uctly OF the
task. They learn how, and back up
their knowledge with a will to do. In
course of time they can be counted on
every time to do what is expected OF
them. They become known as de-
