Are Pleasing Audiences

The following was taken from the
Lewiston Tribune of April 5th. con-
corning Byron's Troubadours, which
will appear in Dickinson on the even
ing of May 18th. under the auspices of
the local Elk lodge: 'Byron's Trouba-
dours held enraptured last night at the
Temple theatre, an audience of several
hundred persons for almost two hours.
and at the end of that time, when the
finale, my Dream of the U. S. A."
was given in solo. with company ac-
compartment in the chorus, the cur
tain rune down on one of the most
welcome vocal and instrumental per-
formances ever given in Lewiston.
These eight artists are certainly q
pleasure to hear. Each and every
number last evening was. encored to its
fullest measure, and in each instance
the company members gracefully re-
sponded. With the singing OF
Mother" the audience was deeply
impressed, and it is doubtful if a vocal.
list ever received more of an ovation
than did he rendering this classic.
The Elks lodge, under whose auspices
the Troubadours appeared. are to be
congratulated for bringing the artists

New Brands

For the purpose of clearing up the
records and wedding out all the dead
stock brands in this state, the Thir-
teenth Legislative Assembly enacted a
law, approved March 18th, 1913, pro-
viding for the cancellation and entire
wiping out of each and every brand or
mark recorded up to November 1, 1913.
After that date no person or company
shall Use, or have any right. title or
interest in any controlled live stock
brand or mark until. the former record
owner takes the necessary steps provid-
ed by law for re-investins himself with
it's title. December l., 1913. is the
final date for re-recurding. and those
not so re -recorded will be issued to first
applicant on and after January 1. 1914.
Due notice will be served on all record
owners. mailed to address shown last
upon the records. and subsequently ad-
ditional notice will be served through
the columns of the press.
There is on record such a multiplicity
of brand designs that it has become al
most impossible for the commissioner
of agriculture and labor to design fur
ther new lawful brands that do not con
fict with previously recorded brands. but
hundreds of which no doubt are extinct.
out of use and entirely abandoned.
Commissioner Gilbreath estimates
that there are now approximately thir-
teen thousand brands on record. and by
wedding out all the obsolete designs,
greater service can be rendered stock
growers by bringing back into use a
larger selection of available lawful
brands and marks.

Can't Afford to Back Merry.

C. F. Merry is an very slick talker
and has told any number OF people that
this and that prominent banker and
business man was ready to subscribe
from 500 to ST, 600 for his railroad stock
when these very men had turned the
whole thing down fiat. Ask these men
he tells you about before giving up
cold cash. While everybody wants
additional railroad facilities, nobody
cares to have the letters secured by
Merry and published by Carter &
Whaley used to help Merry's grating
scheme.
With no eneineer's preliminary
surveys. only Merry's guess work with
no blue prints but those made by him
with W. R. Veigel's frame and a roll
of cast-off paper; with 500. 600 needed
to even start the thing and Merry be-
hind the scheme. few. who wish a road
eve so bad. care to be in.
There are plenty who say if people
will be bamboozled by Merry. let them
lose their money and take their medi-
cine and we will sit back and laugh.
But Dickinson cannot afford to have
the name Of standing behind a fake
scheme like this. It will give the city
a bad name and only put real railroad
building further away. If anybody has
money to drop. use it to start or en-.
courage some good business enterprise
that will give employment to more
people and help to make real railroad
people sit up and take notice.

ANDERSON HELD FOR MURDER
CASHIER funk At WAsnBuRU
Continued from page /;

shown for his committing the awful
deed. The verdict of the ~coronor's
jurors was as follows: THAT F. E. Funk
met his death in a felonious manner
at the hands of an unknown person BY a
rifle fired from a window in the west
wall of the W. T. Anderson residence"
The accounts of the bank have been
checked by C.. L. Zimmerman and an
expert for St. Paul and were found cor
rect. 1t is said that Anderson is cratic,
but his morals and honesty have never
been questioned. He had some trouble
with his wife. who is said to have
considerable means of her own, and she
is said to have left him on account Of
MS extravaganza in spending her
money.
Mrs. Funk confronted Anderson and
charged him directly with the crime,
which be as directly denied. He asked
her if she thought he would do such a
thing and reasserted that Mr.. Funk was
his best friend. He offered no explain
alton for the shooting and in an inter-
view that lasted for a little over a half
an hour there a little more than &C
cusatiOns and denials of the same.
Anderson made a request to be allow
ed to see the body of his former m
ployer and Sheriff Simon took him
to the house in which the remains were
laid out last week. When he came into
the oom where the undertaken was pre-.
pairing the body for burial he fell on
his knees beside the bier and throwing
his arms around the form of the dead
man broke down. sobbing, and kissed
the face of the dead man, crying GU to
him to come to life and prove to the
people that he (Anderson) was not
guilty of the crime with which he was
charged.
W. T. Anderson waived examination
and was bound over to district. He
will have to remain in the county Jail
at Washburn until the next term of
court which will likely be in June, and
it is thought that Judge Nuchols of
Mandan will be called in to try the
case. Judge Nussels of the six dis
trict is an old resident of Washburn
and would not want to try the case, ii
is presumed.
A detective gave u a statement in
Bismarck last week that while MI. An
derson had not confessed he had shown
signs of weakening. He also stated
that strong evidence was being secured
against the accused man. Some people
are inclined to believe that Anderson
is insane.

The pdst Mulch

The Agriculture College at Fargo
sends out the following by L. r. Wal
dron. Supt. Dickinson %sub-station:
If one turns over a board or scrapes
away some straw lying upon the
ground. the ground is to be moist
while the surrounding exposed ground
may be dry. If one scatters straw upon
dry ground, it will be found in a few
days that the dry ground has become
moist. The upper few inches of sur
face will be cen to have accumulated
moisture. This moisture would have
been given up to the air and thus lost
to the soil had not the straw been ap-
piled. A layer of dry soil acts in the
same way when applied to land. 1t is
plain that this layer of dry soil can be
applied to the land from the land it.
self, by the use of suitable machinery.
The dirt mulch a be applied with
but little cost and because of this, and
because it saves the moisture so well,
it becomes of incalculable value to
farming in such a state as North Da-
kota. After a heavy rain observes
the soil in the garden. Or in the corn
field to be packed and hard. BY running
over the ground with a %cultivator, the
packed soil is broken and a mulch is
established. The formation of the
mulch prevents in great measur the
loss of moisture. The loss of moisture
is prevented by the stoppage of the
capillary movement of water. 1t would
be much the same if one were to cut
off a lamp wick and fasten the two cut
ends by wires. Oil would not pass from
one part of the wick to another. Form
ing a mulch on land does not entirely
prevent the loss of moisture but the
moisture saved may amount to so per
cent or even considerably more. There
are several conditions that affect the
dirt mulch. The deeper soil mulch is
the more effective but the deep soil
mulch is more expensive to make the
deeper the mulch the more fertile soil
there is lost for the plants. A soil
mulch becomes poorer with age and SO
it may have to be renewed occasional
ly. This is especially true if a rain
should come. Dirt mulches can be
better made when the soil is moist.

We have given considerable attention in

when the full report of the American Commits
sion, now in Europe, comes to be published we
think 4 it will be found very interesting data.
In breaking up our great plantations in Louis
lana a process that is now going on, it is very
desirable to bring western farmers into our
state and also to sustain the farmers that we
have here by the proper use Of capital. if such
arrangements can be made. Our W parish OF
P%laquemines with but little more than 1900
inhabitants could readily support so, 1000 people.
We have the land, but we haven't enough peo-
pie, and shall hope that by suitable means the
population of our parish will rapidly become
larger.

Agriculture in Italy.

THE American Commission now IN Italy
studying farm finance from the European point
of view reports some interesting Investigations.
In Tuscany the CID lEetayer system prevails,
which we initiate more or less in this country
CT in the western states where they call it ten
n tfarming, and all of which means q division
Of the products CT the fern in kind between
the landlord who owns the lard and its lll-
provelnents, and who may or may net supply
some capital or animals or implements, and the
farmer. who does ali the work with his own
hands or at his own cost, the proportionate
parts being 3 matter Of agreement. One incl
dent reported by the commission and cabled to
the American press states that a certain farm
er had given one-half the produce to the land
lord, and had made his living out of the other
half. The landlord provided some feed, the
live stock and the fertilizers. On one farm Of
81 acres the farmer had one pig, one OK, a cart
and about twelve children. He was making a
gross revenue that eoualled about a Thousand
dollars out Of his half, of which he was able to
make a clear gain Of about a hundred dollars
per year. Another farm was inspected, one OF
a larger size, which was worked by the owner
himself. This seems to have been worked on
the plan of intense culture and while everything
looked to be in first class shape, nothing is
given to indicate the net profits, if any, per
annum.
The Metairie Ridge, lying back Of New Or

SATURDAY, JUNE 81, 1912.
A Nation of Shop Keekers.

On June 2, Mr.. Goodwin OF Arkansas intro-
dueed a bill in the u. S. House of Representa-
tives in Washington which was duly referred
to the Committee on interstate and Foreign
Commerce and ordered to be printed. The bill
was entitled "a bill to encourage
with foreign nations" and the provisions OF = 1t
were that the secretary OF the navy is directed
to report to the secretary OF commerce the ex-
tent and character of all space upon all ships OF
the United States Navy which might reasonably
be temporarily used for the purpose OF exhibit
ing American manufactured products and other
articles of commerce. The information once re-
ceiyed. the secretary Of commerce will arrange
to allot such space to such American manutac-
tuners, merchants, exporters Or associations
thereof who may apply for the same lateably
and equitably with the idea OF affordlng the
widest exhibition of the various commercial and
manufacturing industries OF the United States.
In these spaces there may be installed and
maintained exhibits of manufactured products
of articles of subject to such rules
and regulations as may be promulgated Jointly
by the secretary of the navy and the secretary
Of commerce by and with the approval Of the
president of the United States,
There doesn't seem to be any particular
harm in this bill, but at the same time it looks
somewhat like b~eIittling the United States
Navy to fill the warships with yankee notions,
to be displayed in the voyages of these, ships
around ttffie u world. : Perhaps we might get used
OF. insthe course Of time, but to those who
have been reared with great respect for the
American flag and for the army and navy OF
the United States and for the triumphant dem
ocracy which lies behind the American flag, it
does seem somewhat absurd to convert our
great battleships and cruisers into display shops.
Of yankee notions perhaps all the way from
Conneticut's wooden nutmegs to Louisiana's
modern cane mills, fromrthe high grade pro-
ducts of the saw mills Of distant Oregon to the
Cotton nil products Of the South Atlantic
States.
These things are all very interesting and
our consular service throughout the world has
been doing an immense amount OF good IN send
ing in to the Department Of Commerce the re-
ports from all the distant lands concerning the
goods for which there is a demand in the VI
cinity Of their respective consular Offices with
such suggestions as they can give for the IN
crease of the u. S. trade with these respective
countries. Tie European governments are DO
ing this and it seems reasonable and in fact are
what consular officers are for. Warships, how
ever, are built for an entirely different purpose
and the s~everest possible discipline has to be
maintained and we should doubt the p%ropriety
Of Congress adopting the bill introduced by
Mr.. Goodwin Of Arkansas unless arguments in
its favor should be advanced OF which We now
have no knowledge.

The effort to prevent the evasion Of state
wide prohibition laws by interstate commerce
in liquor has met a long series Of obstacles. The
latest is the decision handed down at St. Paul
by the United States Court OF Appeals that the
recently enacted law foihidding an interstate
carrier to collect the purchase price for c. 0.
D. shipments of liquor does not prevent a bank
or ordinary collector from collecting a sight
draft for the liquor. This will have the effect,
unless overruled, OF forcing the prohibiticnists
to begin over again with Congress. XIX.
