BOY DIED on CHRISTMAS NIGHT

Next Sunday

Last Sunday afternoon Clar-
.ence Henry Schoonover, aged
IL, only son of Russell Schoon-
over of Overly, was shot
through the head by Elmer
Johnson, aged 13, and died from
the effects of the accident on
the evening of Christmas day.
The Schoonover boy and two
companions went out to a creek
about two miles northeast of
Overly to hunt rabbits. Young
Schoonover was ahead and
when the other boys came up
to the creek he was walking
along the creek bottom and on
ly the top of his head showed
above the bank. He was wear
ing a light colored cap and
young Johnson mistook the
moving object for a rabbit and
tired a 20 caliber rifle, striking
the Schoonover lad just above
the temple, inflicting a wound
that proved fatal three days lat
er.
Coroner Weaver went to
Overly yesterday but did not
deem it necessary to hold an
inquest, as it was evident that
the shooting was accidental.
The funeral will take place
at 2 p. m. on Sunday from the

MANY FARMERS CLUBS
Better Farming Association Predicts
200 Before Spring

Better Farming Association Special
Grand Forks, Dec. "a. Fifty
farmers clubs have already
been organized under the direc-
ton of the Better Farming as
sociation in the short time the
movement has been carried on.
According to reports received
by the Special Service bureaus
at Grand Forks fully twice that
number of clubs are lined up
and will be organized within
the course of a few weeks. One
of the pleasing features of the
situation is the fact that busi-
ness men of the various towns
are cooperating enthusiastically
ly in helping the movement
along, and the last county to
join the association now has
three farmers clubs at work.
The farmers of Hillsdale
township in Wells county org
anized with membership of
twelve families. A movement
for the improvement of the
stock in the neighborhood is
one of the features of the work
there. A breeding circuit has
been organized. and a cream
cry is planned as soon as dairy
interest in the community war
rants the move. The fifteen
clubs in Bottineau county and
twelve in Cavalier county are
taking great interest in dairy
ing, among other things, two
carloads of Holsteins having e
just arrived in Bottineau coun-
ty. Inward county a COW test
ing association commands much
interest. At Inkster, in Grand
Forks county, colt show will
be a feature of the clubs activi-
ties. Hogs and hog production,
alfalfa, etc.. are among the
activities of the Stutsman
county and other clubs. g.
At all the clubs not only the
men, but the women get to-
gether to discuss the problems
confronting them. Forms of
programs and other sugges-
tions are furnished with a view
to making them interesting
and profitable to the members
of each particular community.
Every community should
organize a Farmers Club. 1t
means better farming, develop
ment of the community, i'm
proved social conditions and
the best way to get the farmers
and business men together,
which eventually results in
financial betterment. T h :.
present interest indicates that
there will be at least two hun
dred active farmers clubs in
North Dakota before the end of
the winter, and the great
amount of good done by the
association cannot be estimated.
