OVERALL FACTORY

Talladega, October 10.-(Special)-It is
more than probable that an overall fac
tory will be established in Talladega in
the near future. The establishment of
such an industry would mean the en-
ployment of 100 persons and a capital of
$4,000.
The plan is to build new plant and
sell $4,000 worth of stock in Talladega.

H~ettinger County.
The county of Hettinger is now set
tied with the brightest, most progress
sive and best of the farmers of the
central states. Every homestead has
been taken up and most of them prov
ed up on. Much of the rest of the
land has been purchased by adjoin-
.ing owners and stiIl there is room for
many more people to make a living
and lay by for old age in this fertile
valley. The farmers are learning the
of better farming and r making
their land produce more bountifu1ly
and steadily. Campbell, a farming,
expert with his comments is employed
the year around by the good people
Of the country to help each and every
farmer who wants help to do the best
farming that science knows of and to
make the soil bring forth the most
and in the greatest varieties that 1T is
capable OF. The farmers have organiz-
ed clubs, are studying their work
scientifically and doing it well. This
better farming work is surely telling
already in the way the county is forg-
ing ahead.
Not alone, as a wheat and small
grain raising country does the Cannon

Look! Stretching away as far as
the eye can see lie gentle rolling
prairies, their slopes green and brown
in the afternoon sun and matted with
/ a grass as soft and heavy as velvet.
To the south the view is cut off by
the distant range OF hills and here and
there a stray butte rises above the
surrounding country as a sentinel to
see that all is quiet and serene in it's
domain. In the foreground, settled as
1T were In bashful retirement below
shading banks, runs the cool and
tsparkling stream, its bank showing
how at times it has swollen and ragged
to get free in its rush to the sea,
land far in the bottom the ribbon of
fsilver ever flows, refreshing life Civ
ing water to complete the perfection
of the range. Herd after herd of cat
}tle are seen, grazing on the grassy
slopes, cattle that have been driven
i many weary miles from far off Texas
across desert and plain in search of
this very paradise of grass land, cat
tie now as fat and sleek as the best
of corn fed steers of Iowa. They have
come to this paradise because this is

This from as fine a herd of Jersey

And this Is not the only prize taken

not be exaggerated with words.
Mott.
And what of Mott, the county seat
of Hettinger county and the metropo-
lis of the Cannon a1lsyalley, as OF
course every country must have a
metropolis. You all know it is "the

the northwest, made SO by it's people,

The Farm.
But that was long ago. Every one
now knows the Cannon Ball valley,
stretching for over 100 miles along
the winding stream of that name and
sloping back for miles on either side
and almost everyone knows of the
wonderful fertility of the soil and its
recent development and consequent

and in the six years since that time
has increased in population from 800
to 10000 with a consequent increase
Of assessed valuation from S12g,0Gn to
