lated by other towns with mutual pro.
fit in the way of good feeling and pro.
motion of the laugh spirit. The fun
making was started Immediately after
dinner by a we'll gotten up colored
band that dispensed beautiful music
The band was at the head of couple
of ball teams composed of the fat and
lean men Of the town. Immediately
following the ball players was an
emergency hospital with the properly
clothed attendants carrying stretchers
followed by the village doctor who en-
tered into the spirit of the coming bat
tie with as much zest as the small
boys. A water wagon, and several
clowns with various kinds of rigs
brought up the rear. The game itself
was easy for the fat men in the first
three innings but after that the hea1
began to tell on them and the hungry
squad carried off the honors in score
that was so large in order to spare the
feelings of both sides, it will not be
mentioned. For good clean fun tina
the entire family could enjoy Kensa

standing that there were several col

exception of Tommy Clemo they al

although Umpire Glenn Farrar wa

a stretcher, but at last accounts wa
so far recovered as to be splitting tn

JURY VERDICT IN land COM
MISSION CASE.

In the case Of Houston VS.. John
son, the jury brought in a verdict
for the plaintiff in the amount of
$4,000. Under instructions of the
court the verdict was for that
amount of nothing. 1t is under
stood that the jury found that there
was a contract that the plaintiff was
to have all over $4,000 for the sale
of three quarters of the land, con.
tanning the buildings, and the land
was sold for $4,000. The plaintiff
claimed that the land was listed sep
arately and that three Of the quar-.
tiers were to be sold for $4,000 net
and three of the quarters for $12,-
900 net 1t is possible that the case
will be appealed. Thorp & Chase
represented the plaintiff and Knauf
& Knauf the defendant.
In the case of Higgins VS.. Higgins
the jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, NJ D. Higgins of Medina,
requiring a return of the property
sued for and $100; and in case of
the defendants being unable to re-
turn the aforesaid property they are
required to pay the sum of $3.50,

tiff and Thorp & Chas for the de-
| PENDANT.
On motion of the plaintiff in the
case of Jno. Gordon VS.. Midway
Township, and the said township
making no appearance in court, and
the case having been called to trial,
the case was dismissed by the court
with statutory costs to be taxed
against the township. The case arose
over the laying out of road, the town.
ship attempting to lay out a certain
road and the parties appealing on the
question of damages. Thorp & Chase
appeared for the plaintiff and no ap-
pearance by attorney for the defend
ant.
The case of North Dakota Land &
Investment Co. vs.. Richard M. Bur-
CESS and Wheelock & Wheelock vs..
R. M. Burgess (three cases) called
for trial, the parties agreeing on
stipulation for a settlement, the
cases were dismissed.
AS the above settled cases had
been expected for trial and as the set
tlement was unlocked for and there
were no other cases ready, the judge
dismissed the jury until $3.50 a. m.
Monday, at which time some fourteen
suits against the Northern Pacific for
prairie fire losses will have the atten'
ton of the court.

BY Thomas Cooper

The idea Of a farm boys encamp.
ment held in the summer, where boys
can be gathered from large area of
the state to discuss agricultural prob
lens, is not new one. Some four
years ago, Illinois held an encamp.
ment for farm boys at their State Fair.
This was so successful that it has been
made an annual event. Since that
time several other states have held en-.
campments, generally at the time of
the state fair when boys could have
an opportunity of seeing the best pro-
ducts of the state under competent
supervision. These encampments are
operated under discipline and with
the best kind Of supervision. The in
structors are men who understand
boys, like them and know what boys
like to do. Work and play, instruc-
ton and recreation are so blended
that the day is full and the boys go
to bed at night feeling that they have
performed days work The lessons
and lectures are given in lecture
tent or pavilion and are illustrated by
means of the livestock, machinery, or
the plants that can be obtained from
the immediate neighborhood. Ev'
erything is brought down to a practi-
cal basis and talked over in way that
any boy can understand, irrespective
of his schooling. Demonstrations are
given with the various classes Of live.
stock and the boys taught the points
to look for in the selection of good
dairy COW, a good beef bull, or of a
horse.
Meanwhile he has an opportunity to
compare and to Judge the leading
breeds of livestock and to see the es'
sential differences between them and
to have placed before him in an in
teresting manner the comparative i'm
portance of each breed, and the place
that they should fill on the farm.
Then there is the opportunity to
study soils and grains directly on the
farms that are near at hand SO that
the application can be carried home
With all this there Is the fun of camp
life, the joy of living out of doors
without the ordinary restraints and
con6nements. There Is newness
about the life in Boys Encampmen'

a FARM BOYS ENCAMP-
MENT----WHAT 1T is

that makes it appeal to the boys and
makes it an ideal form of vacation.
Not the least of the benefits to be
derived from an Encampment is the
contacts that are made with boys from
different parts Of the state. One rea-
Lies that there is much more to the
state than ones own neighborho0d,
and that many of the problems of agri-
culture are statewide. New ideas are
presented and ambitions aroused.
The physical comfort and welfare of
each member is carefully looked aft
er. The camp physician attends to
any physical ailments that may be in
Cured, while the physical director has
charge Of the various athletic exercis-
es and encourages the boys to form
ball teams and enter into various ath.
letic contests and gameD.
Last year almost one hundred farm
boys attended the Encampment held
at the State Fair at Fargo under the
auspices of the Better Farming Asso'
citation and for a week enjoyed them
selves thoroughly. Every boy re-
turned home with the realization that
agriculture offers great opportunities
and with the determination to succeed
in fhot nrofaccion
The Encampment at Valley City
will offer many attractions in addition
to the course of study that has been
arranged for. The opportunity fol
boating on the river and for swimming
in real stream is one that will ap
peal to every boy. Then there is the
Chautauqua course with its judicious
admixture of fun and information that
cannot fail to be enjoyed by every
normal healthy boy. The ChautauQus
Grounds at Valley City are beautifully
situated in bend of the river, wood
ed and we'll protected on all sides
Boys attending the Encampment viii
be met at all trains and will be con
veyed to the grounds.
Among the prizes to be awarded a
the Barnes County Fair is a $50 cul
offered by the Northern Pacific to thu
farmer having the best sow and lite!
! Of pigs. The cup will be contested TO
until it has been won by an individ
ual three times, when it will become
the property of the winner. The NAM
of each winner will be engraved OF
the cup.
