regard for the memory of his father
or grandfather. and who has any pa.

It is possible that with the organi-
zation Of q Sons Of Veterans corps
that a local chapter Of the Sons Of the
Revolution will be instituted. A
movement towards that end was on
foot some time ago and 1t has not az
yet wholly been abandoned. There
are in the city Of Grand Forks some
thirty men, who are eligible. Many OF

Gaelic and Scotch intermingled on

was stubborn and minded not a bit the
vehement requests of the countryman
of Bobby Burns. Words and dialect
flew fast and furious between the two
until Mcleod threatened to have the
offender confined in the county bastile.

10000 START FOR GRAMS
First Time in Two Years Seed Being
SoWn Under Favorable COndi-
lions in State.

Reports coming in to Grand Forks
implement dealers state that North
Dakota farmers have started to SOW
the 1912 crops. Seeding is not yet
general, but for the first time in two
years. the spring sown grains will have
a favorable start. Soil conditions
could not he better for the germina-
ton of the seeds and the reserve mois-
ture in the soil should be sufficient to
carry the plants to the period of early
June rains. The only problem con-
fronting the northwest is the quality
of the seed. The small grain crops
have not graded high. especially
wheat, and as good seed is hard to OBJ
tain and rather costly. it is probable
that much inferior grain will be used.
Considerable advantage. however.
will be gained by the initial develop
ment Of the plants. The top soil is
said to dry quickly in the wind. and
this should prevent a growth too near
the surface and insure deep rootage,
which will give a healthy stand when
the neat of midsummer sweeps over
the fields.

of wealth of Henry l.. Moorland. a
farmer living between here and Iron
River, is dissipated.
Some time ago he caught alive
three black foxes. whose pelts are
worth about $1,000 each. Instead Of
realizing on the pelts. however. he
built a park surrounded with a solid
concrete wall: protected the latter
above and below with netting and
started a fox farm. expecting to "clean
up" $4,000 this summer.
One morning. though. when he visit.
ed the park. he found that someone
had cut a hole in the netting and the
park was empty.
