FLAG SHOULD FLY
AT EVERY Home
THE FORUM HAS MADE 1T POS.
SI5LE TO GET SPLENDID FLAG
AT A REMARKABLY LOW PRICE
GET A FLAG FOR MEMORIAL
DAY.

Every home in the city of Fargo
should display the stars and stripes
on Memorial day and other national
holidays. On Memorial days especial
.ly, the day set aside to pay a tribute
to the boys in blue who fought the
desperate battles, of the civil war, and
who have passed away, every patriot
ic citizen should show the national
colors. s,s~- ~, E
The Forum has made it possible for
every Fargo home to have a flag to
display on Memorial day, and it can
be preserved and used for other ma
tional holidays. The Forum offers
beautiful flags, 3 by Is feet in dimen-
sion, for five clipped from The
Forum and IS cents to pay the eX-
pense. A larger flag, 4 by s feet, can
be secured for five coupons and SO
cents. N, '#.' ~
Teach the little ones a lesson in
patriotism and show your own patri-
otto spirit by getting a flag for your
home. Fargo would present a beauti-
full appearance if every home in the
city displayed the national colors. Do
you share toward this end by putting
out a flag.

their presentation of S~hakespeare's
Comedy of Errors at the Grand theatre
this afternoon. .s ~
For the first part the scenic ar

scenes were painted by Mr.. Borman

ability as did Freeman Talbot as the

Melvin Hildreth although acting under

FARMING
YIELDS BIG


The fascination of intensive
farming appeals in the Ozarks,
where with new agricultural
processes even the poorest land
is t~ransformable into garden
spots. This land has by such
intensive farming methods been
raised to a valuation ten times
as great and more. The con-
serving of soil resources and the
utilization of opportunity offered
by climatic conditions to increase
production, have thus improved
the Ozarks. Conservation of soil
energy has paid in dollars and
cents.
The progressive Ozark farm
ers are all agreed that the most
profitable market for grain,
grass and other feeds is found
in the live stock kept upon the
farm. Their farms continually,
therefore, grow in fertility. AL
falfa is doing much for the con-
tinuation and promotion of soil
fertility. This king of the
legumes, with the rest of the
leguminous family-the clover,
the cowpca and the soy bean
has demonstrated its possibili-
ties in many parts of the Ozarks.

WHY NOT ALREADY
CROWDED.

That the Ozarks have not peO-
pied more rapidly is due TO many
causes. They are not prairie
land, but hilly. The tide of i'm
migration flowed in other direc-
tions. They did not produce
largely of corn and wheat, which
many farmers had come to look
upon as the necessary staples.
The valleys and the streams
were unseen by the railway trav-
eler. Only within recent years
has the great merit of the
Ozarks been known, because Of
the emphasized advertisement
of the more distant, though less
meritoriouS, farm lands.

From Mansfield Station, on
the Kansas City-Memphis divi-
sion of the Frisco, a branch road
extends southwark through
Douglas county to Ava, the
county seat. This is the only
railroad in the county and the
country is just entering upon an
era of development.
Douglas county is in the heart
of the great Elberta peach belt
of sOuth-central Missouri and
borders on Howell, Wright and
Webster, three of the banner
fruit counties of Missouri. The
county is generally broken, the
rolling hills sloping gradually
southwark from the high ridge
upon which the Frisco runs. All
streams flow from this ridge
toward the southern line of the
county.
There is a great deal of fine
orchard and farm land along the
slopes and in the valleys and
splendid pastures in the rougher
hills. The county is we'll drained
and watered and there is beautt-
full scenery. The %unimprOved
lands are generally covered by a
heavy growth of valuable tim
Der. The hill land soils are
gravclly and stonebearing, but
are very fertile-just the kind
for berries and grapes. The
valleys are rich in a dark sandy
loan of alluvial origin and pro-
duce grasses and grain.
Live stock, corn and hay are
the principal crops, but with bet
ter railroad facilities the farm
ers are beginning to give more
attention to the smaller crops.
Ava, the principal town, is the
trading point for a large section
in the interior. 1t has lumber
mills, a flour mill and a tannerN..

The firms he tried to swindlc
are W. W. Flea. the egg man.
Dewinter X Co.. Geo. NJ. Kitten
house Il Co. and {. Bishop, the
live poultry man.
1t was the old game of forging
the bill of lading, and drawing
drafts without shipping the goods.
Thursday of last week W. W,
Flea received "A letter from the
Mountain View Produce Co.,
Mountain View. Mo-, saying that
the concern had shipped Flea 10.
barrels of butter and 10 eases of
candled eggs. and had drawn II
draft against the shipment OF
$500. The draft came through
the bank at Willow Springs, Mo.
Flea paid the draft, at the same
time Dewinter 4 Co. received Il
similar letter and Il draft for
$500, as did also George NJ. Rit-
tenhOuse 4 Co. The bill OF lad
ing on all shipments apparently
bore the genuine signature of the

On the same day that the above
firms received adviceS and paid
their drafts, c. Bishop the poul-
try man, received a letter from
the Mountain View Produce Co..
saying that the concern had ship
ped IA ear of live poultry from
Exeter. Mo. When this draft
for $1,000 came in to c. Bishop he
paid it. There was no indication
as to how the car of live poultry
was routed so Bishop wired En-

car had been shipped. All Of

promptly wired the bank to stop
payment on their checks. They
received information back that

One of the most braZpn attempts

The letter was signed Mountain

When the state of Missouri
selected a site for its Fruit En-
pertinent Station it was the
purpose TO locate it where it
would do the orchardists the
greatest amount of goOd-in the
heart of the great fruit region
and Mountain Grove, in the
southeast corner of Wright
county, was the place chosen.
Here is one of the most COM
plete experimental plants in the
United States.
Wright county is forty miles
north of the Arkansas line and
about midway between the east
and west boundaries of Missouri,
in the heart of the apple and
peach belt, high up on top OF
the Ozark range, where one can
see the stretches of rolling hills
for many miles. For the horti-
culturist this section has all the
advantages of soil and climate.
The high altitude and splendid
drainage make ideal conditions.
There is plenty of timber for
buildings and fuel, and the best
of water.
Here the farmer has a variety
of soils; the slopes and hilltops
for apples, peaches, berries and
grapes; the p~lateaus and valleys
for grain, grasses and garden
crops, and the unimproved lands
for pasturage, finer than which
there is none. There is very
little land that cannot be put to
some use by the farmer, the hills
not being of a precipitous char
acter.
Fruit growing has for some
years been an important indus
try in the territory convenient
to the Frisco railroad, and there
are cold storage plants, canning
factories and shipping sheds at
the principal stations. 1t is not
a one-crop section, however. Re.
Gently the dairying industry has
become a rival in Importance tC
that of orcharding. The plen.
tiful grass and pure water arc
valuable assets, and the farmer
finds the COW one of his best
sources of revenue. AT Noun.
tain Grove is one of the largest
]creameries in the state, operated
in connection with a cold stor.
age and ice cream manufactur.
ing plant. The products of this
factory are shipped in CARLOAD
lots, the shipments of butter
averaging from 10000 to 10000
pounds a week.
The same conditions which
make this a profitable dairy
country also are advantageous
to the stockman. There is pas.
turage the whole year arount
and plenty Of grain for finishing
up the cattle and hogs at ship
ping time. Some fine strains OF
stock have lately been intro
duced and the farmers are turn
ing their attention to breeding
1t is just the kind of a country
