HARRY JOHNSTON
GROWS TOBACCO
Plants Grow Large and Could
Probably be Proftably
Raised Here

Another product which has
not been raised very extensively
in Burke county, but which
could probably be profitably
grown here, is the tobacco plant.
Harry Johnston of seven miles
southwest Of the city the fore
part of the week brought in a
plant raised on his place which
measured fully five feet high
with enough leaves on it to make
about $500 worth Of Dukes Mix
ture, mixing the usual amount
of paper and cabbage leaves
with it. Mr.. Johnston has quite
a patch of this product, and is
sure that if other farmers would
put in a few acres next year and
the years after the same as he
intends doing, we might expect
a tobacco factory to locate here,
which would mean that we could
smoke, chew and snuff a weed
grown and made ready for use
right here in this great Bowbells
country. The plant brought in
is now on display in the window
of the T. O. Hunter store, and is
attracting a great deal of atten-
tion.

= Self Sunday

Maxbass, N. D., Sept. 16. -
John B. Myers, editor and pub
Usher of the Maxbass Monitor,
shot and killed himself at New
burg this forenoon. For two
weeks past Myers has not been
himself and it is believed that
the rash act was committed dur
ing q fit of mental depression.
Myers left Maxbass yesterday
morning. going down to New
.burg5and spending the day there
with friends. This morning he
left 500 with the hotel keeper
and then went over to the sta
tion agent and asked him for a
revolver, explaining that there
were several fellows following
him and he wanted to be pro-
tected. He left a ten dollar bill
with the station agent and after
procuring the revolver went over
to Price Bros livery stable and
there, shot himself in the head,
dying almost instantly.
The deceased was unmarried
and had no relatives in this part
of the country, as far as is
known. He has a brother in
Winnipeg and a brother in Brit
ish Columbia, both of whom
were notified Immediately. It is
expected that the Winnipeg
brother will come to Maxbass to
take charge of the remains. The
Bottineau county coroner was
notified at once of sthe suicide
and an inquest will probably be
held this afternoon.

At an adjourned meeting of
the city council Monday evening
at the city hall the contract for
the construction of the sewer
system was let to Geo. w. Kem-
per of Minot for the sum of
$4, 1920. he being the lowest
bidder. The only other person
to put in a bid was L. w. Shaul
Of Fargo who asked $4, 173. 90.
Mr.. Kemper was in the city at
the time his bid was accepted
and Immediately went into con-
tract with the city. He stated
that he would ship his ditching
machine to Bowbells at once,
and would start work immediate
" after it got here. He was
very confident that he could
have the work completed by
October 18th if everything went
well.
Az was stated before in The
Tribune the system will start at

CROSBY EDITOR TO
FIGHT LIBEL SUIT
w. H. Ware, Publisher of Re-
view, is Asked to Pay Big
:.s Damages

We were somewhat surprised
tolearn, that Brother Ware of
the Crosby Review had been
sued for libel, and that the COM
plainant, Geo. w. Jones, asks
for SIS, 600 for alleged damages
TO his reputation and business.
Mr.. Ware does not seem at all
worried over the big suit, but
the idea has just struck him as
to how he will be able to scratch
up so much money providing he
is stuck for the full amount.
The Review has always published
news and comments of the kind
that its readers demand, it has
never intentionally went out of
the way to do anyone any harm,
and we know it would never
publish anything except what it
was sure to be the truth. But
when it is sure of any news
item which it knows would in
terest it's readers we would be
our last dollar that it would
publish it. Mr.. Ware is a news
paper man through and through,
and we wish there were more
like him in the state. There is
every reason to believe that the
>suit just brought against him
will be- dismissed before coming
to trial. .s5.s..ss H.. q IT: ,:s e

Last Monday afternoon anyone
standing on Second street might
have heard Fred Dilworth cuss-
ing to himself and using such
language which is not his custom
in the everyday walks Of life.
It could plainly be seen that
something had went wrong with
him. On being questioned he
stated that while at work put
ting up a chimney on the Jens
Peterson store building he left a
saw on the peak of the roof for
a few minutes expecting to come
back and get it as soon as the
rain stopped. He was gone
about half an hour and on return
ing found the saw gone. The
wind had evidently blown it off
the roof and it was picked up by
someone. Fred, being in the
carpenter business, has several
saws, but like all other trades
men has one particular tool which
he cherishes more than all others.
This saw was the apple Of his
eye and though it cost him less
than S.. 90 he would rather lose
all his other saws than this one.
If the person who took it for his
own and carried it off will return
it, Fred will be more than glad
to give such person his pick out
of all the other tools in the tool
box, or buy him any saw in any
local store in Bowbells.
A very desirable feature in
making your farm loan of the
Burke County State Bank lies
in the fact that you need not
wait for all papers to be sent
back east for approval before
knowing if the loan is really to
be made.

GO0O PLAY CON.
ING HERE SATURDAY
'In the Foothills" to be Pre-
sented at Local House by
Good Talent.

The following is a brief synop-
sis of I'm THE FOOT HILLS"
which comes to the Bowbells
Opera House next Saturday.
Sept. 21.
The action of the play takes
place in the mining-cattle coun-
try in New Mexico. The first
scene is a typical western ranch
house, surrounded by a dense
forest and the producers are
said to have excelled in lavish
spectacular effects. Following
this the eye of the spectator
rests on a real. canvas painting
of a massive snow-capped noun
tain in the distance, and a min
ing shaft which has been opened
in the foot hills The third act
:shews-the interior of a miners
: 16hia~asa then comes as,,fapid
change in the last act from the
primative to a modern sumptu-
ously furnished d drawing room.
{ The play deals with the life
story of a gambler, who in spite
of his calling proves tobe a man,
an irate, bigoted parent, a home
less girl, a real child of nature
with a heart Of gold and a hus-
band seeking old maid who keeps
the audience chuckling merrily
all the time she is on the stage.
Right dominates in the end and
all terminates happily.
I'm The Foot Hills" the OPEN
ing play at. the Overholser is one
of the best western plays we
have seen in many a day. The
characters are good and the
players make the most of the
parts they have in hand and
play them in a natural and life
like manner. There is a pretty
romance woven into the story.
It is a western play with just
enough of the dramatic to lend
flavor to the production. It rea-
ly is surprising that an author
has been found who absolutely
abstains from gun-play, and fails
to run over' with bombast and
bragadocia.

HOW TO MAKE LOCAL
POTATO MARKET
Farm Paper Tells How a Mar
ket May be Created Any
where for Spuds

Farm Stock and Home: There
are two chief factors in securing
a potato market, namely potatoes
and quality. In other words
there must be a quantity of po-
tatoes to attract a market and
the potatoes must have quality.
A bushel of mixed, inferior po-
tatoes will find no market. A
carload of choice potatoes are
always in demand and a COM
munity that produces hundreds
of carloads has the best market.
The potato grower in northern
Minnesota is often handicapped
by having no local market and
no local buyer. One farmer in
a community cannot command a
market. When there is no local
market a number of farmers
should club together and grow
the same variety and by COM
bining their crops be able to ship
a car load or several car loads
and thereby secure the advant-
age of distant markets.
Find a reliable potato firm to
ship to. Pat the potatoes up in
two and one-half bushel sacks
and sew the sacks. This is the
way the market calls for potatoes.
Special potato sacks should be
secured. All this is extra work
but it is necessary to have a
market and a reputation that
will sell your potatoes when
there is no demand for stock put
up in any kind Of a way.
Grow the kind of variety the
market demands. Put up only
good size stock, uniform and
clean and in the kind of a sack
the trade wants and your crop
will sell.

Dan Holden was arrested in
Greendale township by Sheriff
Robbins and officers from Hank
inson, charged with indecent
assault upon the person of a lit
tie 6-year.old girl of that town
ship. He was brought to Wah-

ary hearing before Judge Dow,

to school when the assault oc-
Cured. Holden, who was driy-
ing a water wagon for a thresh-
ing rig working between Hank
inson and Fairmont, passed the
child 81 the road and invited her
to ride with him. The innocent
Schild accepted the invitation,
| and it was during the course OF
the ride that the man is alleged
Ito have committed the indigni-
ties which landed. him in the
county bastile with the prospect
of severe punishment awaiting
him.
n The little girl suffered much
pain as the result of the liberties
taken with her, and when ques-
toned told the story which re-
suited in the arrest OF Holden.

pointed several weeks ago to look

Irish Home Rule Bill

Dublin, January 9O-(Speeial )--Natural- ly there is much speculation as to the terms of the home rule bill which is to be introduced shortly after parliament eonvenes. Of course it is impossible to speak with any certainty of this measure as regards it's terms, but it is understood in well informed circles that these will De some of the principal features of the measure: An Irieh parliament, with an Executive sitting at Dublin elected on the same franchise as the English. and with complete control of Irish affairs, incud- ing the judiciary and the police. It is possible that the government may retain, at any rate for short time. a nuclus of the royal Irish constabulary as a kind of imperial police force.
