POINTERS ON RA|S.
ING POTATOES
NV ~ss's A~0

The potato is an important North
Dakota crop. 1t is being develop
ed rapidly in the state and a mar
ket is gradually developed here for
1t. In Grand Forks, where hum
dreds of thousands of bushels are
handled annually, the potato and it's
development is, being given much
attention. Dealers find that there
are some points in potato culture
that are often overlooked but that
bear directly upon it's market price
and sale. z-s.4ts. >. q s..,..;:
Potatoes are grown to eat. Most
growers seem never to have thought
of this fact. They have raised
potatoes to sell and have considered
only the market price and the yield
they could! get. They have not
realized that the more delicious the
cooked potato tasted and smelled
the less waste there was in pre-
pairing it for the table, the more po-
tatoes woulll be used and the high
er would be the price.
A potato should be white, mealy
and dry when cooked. The flavor
should be delicious. the odor so ap-
served, everyone should want a
second helping and like to have po-
tatoes often.
More than half the potatoes grown
in the central west are sOggy when
cooked, the odor and flavor are in
different and often there are yell
lowish or brownish streaks through
them. Few people want second
helping and there are too MANY
meals when potatoes arc not served
because nobody cares for them.
The potato grower more than any
other grower of farm food products
has over looked the preferences and
tastes Of his customers. The con-
ly stimulated by raising those that
are delicious in flavor and aroma.
in appearance and that
waste little in preparing for the
table.
The yield of potatoes on many
farms is too low to be profitable ex-
cept when prices are high. The
low yield is chiefly caused by plant
ing seed from low producing hills.
A potato does not produce a crop
like itself, it produces a crop like
the hill from which it came. With
the ordinary method of selection,
seed potatoes from the poorest hill
and part of the potatoes from the
moderate producing hills are used
Not a potato from the highest yield
ing hills is planted. Intelligent
selection of seed from high yielding
hills, will double the yield on more
than half the FARMS.

CUSEO OF THEFT
Canadian Identifies Him AS
Man Who Worked For
Him on His Farm.

Williston, n. D., Nov. SC. II.
co.. was in the city looking for man
who stole a horse and rig from
him, and upon hearing of the Gull
sbertson case and the description Of
theSsuspected man called at the Jail
to see him. Upon being interview
ed later Mr.. Buck stated that Gull
bertson was the same man who
worked for him on his farm near
Wilcox all last summer. While
there he went by $the name of Roy
Walker. Buck claims that on Oct
obef 11th, while he was away from
home Walker attempted to assault
his wife and then he threatened to
kill her if she told before he had
left the country, took horse and
buggy belonging to his employer
and started south. After going a
short distance he met neighbor
and probably thinking that the
neighbor would tell about seeing
him he turned and drove back to
the farm. He stopped there for a
short time, took Winchester rifle,
and then drove, north He made
a circuit, however, turning south
and landed at Plentywood, Mont,
where he sold the horse and buggy
for $25, getting check for the
horse and buggy and cash for the
robe. From Plentywood he has
been traced to Crosby and then
south to the time he was captured.
Mr. Buck states that upon reach
ing home and being notified by his
wife about Walker taking the horse
and buggy he notified the mounted
police and they started north look
ing for Walker but did not discov-
er that he had swung south until
too late to intercept him before
crossing the line.

Evanston, Wyoming, was in the CITY

to see his son.. The son broke
down upon seeing his father, but
claimed during the entire inter-
view that he was innocent Of the
charge that he murdered the three
of the Dillon family at

lie did not understand the boys ac-
tions during the past year and a
half at all. Up to about a year
and a half ago his son was one of
the best boys and men in the coun-
try. but that suddenly he went to
pieces, so to speak, and left home.
The father left money here for
counsel and it is understood Attor-

PRISON DOORS ARE
OPEN TO M'BA|N
Taken to Fessenden For His
Hearing---A Human In-
terest Case.

Bismarck, NJ D., Dec. 3.-The
case of William McBain, the young
man from Wells county, who was
brought to the penitentiary { last
week on the charge of aborting his
sweetheart, who later became his
wife, has taken an interesting turn
Upon petition tor a new trial, the
same was granted and he was taken
Friday to jamestown, where he app
peared before Judge Coffey, who
ordered that he be returned to
Fessenden, be given a preliminary
hearing and the case proceeded with
from the beginning.
This is an exceptional case and is
one which is attracting consider
able attention throughout the state.
There is much speculation as to the
result of the case, as it is claimed
that much new evidence will be
brought out in the re-hearing.
There seems to be no question but
that Juvenile Officer Blake treated
both McBain and his wife harshly,
and is receiving much criticism for
his act. 1t further seems that he
was drawn into the case by an an
OAJ ASClCA, CA1Ou6A IL 10 octI(I AC
did succeed in securing damaging
evidence.
1t is claimed upon good authori-
ty that sentiment at Fessenden
strongly favors McBain, though 9TH
'ers hold that there has been
change Of sentiment.
Some of the authorities claim that
they are not in favor of being WELD
ed by sentiment, and that they shall
insist upon the law taking it's
course. However, it is not thought
that McBain will be returned to the
penitentiary. as it will be, hard to
find a jury under the circumstances
which will convict him.
McBain was taken to Fessenden
Friday, and will in all probability
have his preliminary hearing Mon
day.
The longer the case goes, the
more complications arise, and the
public is anxiously awaiting the re-
suit. -...s%
Taking the case all the way
through it is one which technically
might call for a degree Of punish
ment, yet is surrounded by circum-s
stances which appeal$to the sympa-
thy of the public in such a strong
manner as to make it very doubtful
if conviction. will be secured.

CAN ONLY KILL
THE ANTLEREO DEER

While deer hunting is under. the
ban in North Dakota for three years
many Of the flickertail shooters have
been after the big game in Mime
sofa and Montana. Some have re-
turned after successful hunts.
The shooters of this state have
been watching the results of the
laws in states that have prohibited
shooting anything except male deer.
In the measure making. a closed,
season for deer in this state for
three years it was also provided that
when the open season did begin
only antlered deer could be killed.
This was done to compel hunters to
be more careful and safeguard hu-
man lives. By having to wait till
they could sec the antlers, the shoot
ers are not so likely to shoot at ev-
cry moving object in the brush and
kill other hunters.
Returns show great improve
ment in New York state, where a
law prohibiting the killing of all but
antlered bucks was passed. The
season just closed with two human
victims as compartd to nineteen last
year

MOTHER STEALS CHILD
FOR LIFE OF SHAME
Child Disappears on Way to
School. Long Standing
Revenge is Motive.

Minot, N. d., Dec. BIT is alleg-
ed that Martha Fenncl, formerly Of
Minnewaukan. has fulfilled her
threat made twelve years ago and
stolen her own daughter for the
purpose of forcing her into life
of shame. ~
This dreadful allegation is the
outcome of sensational affair near
Devils Lake years ago when former
Congressman James Michels of Ben
son county married the above nam
ed woman to only find out later
that she was not only a woman of
shame but had not been divorced
from her former husband. The
marriage was annulled and the baby
daughter legally given into the Gus
tody of Mr.. MichcIs. When driv-
en- from his door, the woman de-
clared that "she would come back
16 years old and steal her, then
tute. Later Mr.. Michels married
a very estim'able lady OF Benson
county and the little daughter was
brought up in the midst of every
kindness and attention possible.
She has been free all these years
of everything that was not pure and
hood, but the threat made by the
woman of the scarlet 1etter was not
forgotten and safeguard of every
kind were made.
Two weeks ago, the child was on
her way to school with her lunch
basket over her arm. The school
was only one-half mile from her
home, and her loved stepmother
watched the little girl until she was
out of sight beyond a clump of
trees. From that time on, moth
ing has been heard from her and it
was ascertained that she was not
seen at the school nor by any pass
ersby.
The whole country was alarmed
over the alleged kidnapping and
everything was done to find the
persons who had taken the child.
The disgraced mother of the child
was traced to Superior. Wis, where
she had lived for a time under an
assumed name. 1t was found that
she had hired the services of
distrated ex-detective and it is sup
posed that this man, in company
with the woman, waited their time
to steal the child.
1t is hoped by the publication of
this story throughout the state
papers that some trace of the child
may be obtained. The symp1 thies
of every reader will 60 out to the
poor little 13-year-old child and the
bereaved father in their terrible

RAN NAKED THROUGH
STREETS Of M|NOT

Minot, N. D. Dec. 3.-Running
naked through the streets of Minot
and screaming in such a horrible
manner that the district court in
session at the courthouse was call
ed to a halt, patient of st. Jo-
seph's hospital suffering from cat
alepsy, caused a big sensation in
that part Of the city Saturday.
The man lad become violent while
confined to bed in one of the
hospital wards, had overpowered q
fellow patient who tried to stop
him, and dashed down the stairs
through a group of nurses and hos
pital attendants and out into the
streets. He was family stopped by
two passersby, who were later as
sisted by Deputy Sheriff Hans Ho-
Wind. The three snen finally over
powered him and nurses from the
hospital, coming UP at last, threw
a sheet over the mans nude body
and he was carried back to the hos
pital.

BLACK HAND METHODS
USED At BOWMAN

Bowman, N. D., Dec. 3.-An at
tempt was made to blow up the M.
D. Kircher meat market. About
$50 worth of meats had been stolen.
In the basement in which there
were some hides and potatoes the
force Of the explosion was most no.
ticeable. One theory is that con-
siderable gas had accumulated in
the basement and when the thieves
struck a match the gas was ignited.
Others believe that after stealing
some meats the thieves dynamited
the place to conceal their crime.
A few months ago the meat market
was damaged by fire.

SW|NDLER GETS
FURL|NED COAT
Lansford Mans Loses His
Overcoat to a New Ac- d
Quaintance.

Minot, N. D., Dec. 3.-Henry W.
Willis, prominent business man of
Lansford, passed through the city
enroute to his home from a trip to
Minneapolis. Mr.. Willis was f1eeced
out of his $126 fur-lined overcoat
by a member Of an organized band
of crooks. Mr.. Willis, who is far
from being an able bodied man,
since an attack of paralysis several
years ago, was carrying his grip
to the depot about 10 o'clock at
night, when a man who appeared to
be common laborer accosted him
and said: "Hadn't VIC better stop
in and drink that glass of beer?"
Mr.. Willis explained that he didn't
want any beer, whereupon the
stranger said he mistook Willis for
a friend. He insisted on carrying
Mr.. Willis grip to the depot and sat
down for chat while he was wait
ing for the train. He said his name
was Henry Johnson and that he
worked as a plow packer in fact
ory. He displayed :. pair of hands
that appeared to be calloused.
Mr.. Willis, growing warm, threw
his coat off and the stranger adj
mired it. "How would a working
man look in a fine coat like that?"
he said and casually drew it on.
He was away like flash in the
crowd and Mr.. Willis could only
stand and watch him disappear
across the street. Mr.. Willis says
he has a good gun at home and
tho ,,nv+ t;n,o ho ooac to Minnaa
polls, he's going to "tote" it.
