Eastport Does Not Want Community

Communicated.

Eastport, Nov. II, 1913.
Editor of the Capital
Allow me to say through your val
liable paper in answer to the communi-
cation in Saturdays paper as regards
the Community Christmas Tree, that
such project Cd the whole may be,
and have no doubt is, good idea, but
so far as the children of Eastport are
concerned, am sure they are all amply
provided for at Christmas time and in
fact at all other times and they are not
in need of such plan as Charity. My
experience in this section leads me to
make this statement in justice to all
concerned.

OBITUARY.

The death of Mrs. Peter Jensen 0c-
Cured Sunday afternoon about four
o'clock at the home of her daughter
Mrs. C. E. Koch in Clement township,
where deceased had gone for a visit
a week previous. She had been afflict-
ed with cancer for some time, which
was the cause of her death.
Deceased was a native Of Sweden,
being born there on Feb. II, 1855. She
came to this country and was married
to Peter Jensen at the Fred johnson
home, nine miles north Of Oakes, on
Dec Is, 1885. Mr.. Jensen had come
to this section in 1881 and the follow
ing year took up homestead, one mile
northwest of Oakes. There the couple
lived, and there to them were born
three daughters and one son. The lat
ter died in infancy. The daughters
are Annie, now Mrs. Oakes, of Hoqui-
am, Wash, Minnie, Mrs. c. E. Koch of
Oakes, and Johannah, who lives with
her father. Recently Mr.. Jensen has
been running Hotel Home in this city.
Short funeral services were held at
the Koch home on Tuesday afternoon
and again at the Norwegian church in
this city by Rev. H. Moe. The remains
were laid to rest in Oakes cemetery.

wv PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR.
Dr.. S. S. Cryorf of Oregon, ILL.,, Called
to Local Church.

Dr.. S. S. Cryorf of Oregon, ILL.,, Called.
to Local Church.
The Presbyterian church of this city
rendered a call as pastor to DR.. S. S.
Cryor, who fro the past two years has
been with the church at Oregon, Ill.
DR.. Cryor is we'll spoken of by his
home papers and comes we'll recon-
mended in every way.
The Ogle County Reporter of Ore
gon, ILL.,, has this to say Of DR.. Cryor:
"The removal of DR.. Cryor and mis-
family from Oregon is likewise the
subject of general regret. Combining
those qualities posentiality as preach
Ter and an acute business sense, rarely
adapted to the ministerial function,
DR.. Cryor's service as pastor of the
Presbyterian church, has even during
the brief period Of it's tenure demon
strated wonderful results. The church
membership has increased in a ma
terial degree, all departments denot-
ing development and growth. Under
his able management the physical
lines of the church have been notably
altered, an extension of sixteen feet
having been constructed in harmony
throughout with the original struc-
ture. A fine pipe organ is now fes-
ture of the edifice and these improv-
ments, representing an outlay of sew
veral thousand dollars are now virtual
ly paid for. These items, important
in themselves are but minor part of
the work of DR.. Cryor. His influence
in behalf of religion, good morals
and good citizenship has permeated
church and social stratas of this COM
munity. The departure of this good
man and family from Oregon, is the
subject of generally expressed regret.
The change is made with the hope
that the climate Of their future envir-
onment will be beneficial to the health
of Mrs. Cryor who is a sufferer from
asthma. It is thought the dry climate
of North Dakota may have the effect
of relief from this trouble. They will
probably remove to the new charge
alb ut November l. An effort to Sc
cure permanent pastor for the Pres
byterian church has already been un-
|dertaken."

MERCER OF FORCES
GREAT VALUE TO STATE

At meeting ofthe Board Of Direct
ors of the Better Farming Association,
held at Fargo, Tuesday the 14th, there
was consummated a merger, for taking
over, of the Better Farming Associa-
tion by the North Dakota Agricultur-
al College.
This is of the most far-reaching i'm
portance to the agricultural interests
of the state and is destined to place
the North Dakota Agricultural College
in the front ranks of the agricultural
colleges in the United States.
The work of the extension depart
ment of the Agricultural College will
be merged with that of the Better
Farming Association, and a distinct
department created and the work which
has been SO successfully inaugurated
by the Better Farming Association will
be continued along the same lines.
Contracts with several counties will be
carried out by the Agricultural College
and the work will be extended as for
as possible.
The organization of the Better
Farming Association will be main
tanned and it's board of directors will
act as an advisory board to the Agri-
cultural College trustees.
The trustees have secured the SER
vices of Mr.. Thomas Cooper, Secretary
Of the Better Farming Association, to
whom the success of the plans of the
promoters of the Association is largely
due, who will be placed at the head of
this department, thus insuring the car
rying on of the work so successfully
begun.
This places the work Of the Better
Farming Association on a permanent
basis and insures it's continuance and
usefulness to degree impossible Of
attainment under private subscription.
The Better Farming Association was
the first organization Of it's kind in the
United States and we believe the North
Dakota Agricultural College the frs,
to attempt the carrying out Of work
of its kind and magnitude.
n The people of the State Of NORTH
Dakota owesmuch to those public spir:
ited observation-disclosures. A. R. Rogers
and P. L. Howe of Minneapolis,
through whose efforts the financing OF
the Association was made possible, and
Mr.. E. ]. Weiser of Fargo, President
Of the Association, who has labored
so assiduously for its success.
1t is fortunate that we have as trus-
tees of the Agricultural College set
of men so far-seeing and broad minded
as to grasp the Importance of this
great work to the farming interests
of the state and to thus insure it's con-
tinuance.

RURAL SCHOOLS GRADED.
Two First Class and Four Second Class
in Dickey County.

Six rural schools in Dickey county
have just classified, and received their
share of the state aid money. A law
was passed in1911, providing aid from
the state funds, for rural schools which
came up to certain standard. The
1913 legislature made the sum of mon
ey to be divided among standard rural
schools very much larger, as the 1911
law had proved beneficial. A school to
classify must come up to the standard
as to teacher, heating and ventilating,
condition of school grounds and equip
ment. 1t is gratifying that Dickey
county is at last "on the map" in this
matter. The officials of these schools
are to be congratulated on their sue
cess. The names of the schools, the
teachers in the schools when the
schools were inspected and the presi-
dents and clerks Of the school boards
are as follows:
First Class Schools.
kentner No. 2-Olive Hohlwegler,
teacher; Hans Johansen, president
Wn. Wentzel, clerk.
Valley No. 3-Ethel D. Case, teach
er; w. F. Fox, president; Mrs. L. G.
Brown, clerk.
Second Class Schools.

er; G. B. Sharp, president; T. H. Nc
Ginnis, clerk
Lorraine No. Mae Brotherton,

Farming Valley No. Mrs. Cal
Campbell, teacher; Ed. Byers, presi-
dent, VIM. Townsend, clerk.
Van Meter No. 3-Elma Grain
teacher; ]. T. Wilson, president; James
Pollock, clerk.
For the year 1913, the amount of the
state aid is $3.50 fro first class schools
and 500 for second class schools. Any
school may b. able to secure this
amount of money annually if it keeps
|up to the standard requirements.

DREAM MAY COME TRUE
Tom Marshall's Idea Yet To Bear
Fruiti0n.

The manuf .cture of denatured alco.
hol, dream Of North Dakota farmers
for the last decade or more, may be-
come reality. When T. F. Marshall
Of Oakes was in congress from thi,
state he made some political capital
at Washington in his advocacy Of tho
manufacture Of denatured alcohol from
the waste products of the farm. A
bill was finally passed, but "joker"
was slipped in at the last minute and
much red tape and useless expense
the farmers could not make it at pro-
fit. = ~
When the cent tariff measure went
through Senator Lane Of Oregon added
an amendment under which farmers
can now manufacture denatured alco-
hol. The machinery necessary is sim
pie and inexpensive if the German
process is used.
With the immense amount of pota-
toes and corn and other produts that
can be cheaply grown in North Dakota
and are rich in alcohol, there is no
reason why the manufacture Of dena-
tured alcohol for commercial purpos-
es cannot be done at profit in this
state. All the government requires is
that the products be at once denatured
so it cannot be used as beverage.

Hot Springs Ark, March 22.--Iiob
Brine, third bascman for the Pittsburg
Nationals was struck on the head by
n ball pitched by smoky Joe" Wood
Yesterday knocked unconscious and
his condition Is regarded as serious.
Physicians state II may be several
days before they can determine wheth-
or he will play ball again. Byrne was
at bat in the second exhibition game
between Pittsburg and the worlds
champions when he was hit. The ball
struck him on the head and glanced
over the stand behind. Physicians say
If IL had struck him lower where the
head would have received the full inn
pact of the speed of the Boston pitch
or, he would probably have been killed.
He was hurried To hospital and later
removed to "a hotel
