The decorations in the CongFega- tional church were beautiful for Mem- orial Sunday. A large bank of white flowers against our large flag, artisti- calIy draped, and beautiful vase of lilies of the valley. The excellent ser mon of Rev. J. K. Moore was from Nehemiah 6:3: Al am doing a great work, so that l cannot come down. He worked with all his might at his God.given task, and So must we if we would accomplish our task. Life at it's best is serious, is par ticularly true for a Christian, moral, daily life, and the development of hon. est work. The theme of the evening supplemented the one of the morning. It was from Matt. lS:ls and 20, show ing how necessary it was to work to- gether, but that even where only two or three agreed on any one thing Christ is sure to be the one more.

Better Paint

Better paint this year if your prop erty needs 1t. Mistaken men have been waiting for paint to come down, The cost of their job has gone up not down; it always goes up by waiting never comes down.
 Better paint than Devoe? There isn's any.
 Suppose one had waited 20 or 3o years ago for better paint than De voc; how long would he have waited! How long would he still have to wait? The price gallon makes some dli' ference; yes, but not much; it's the paint that counts; the quality counts. It's the go'far that counts. Protec' ton of property counts more yet Better paint.

North Dakota's record this
year in raising corn has added
more new settlers for the state
than any other one influence,
according to immigration off,
cials of the state. They have
made a special canvas of the
situation to determine what
are at work in bring
ing new residents, and the
answer is corn.
North Dakota this year in
creased it's corn acreage by at
least 100, 600 acres, and Don v.
Moore. secretary of the North
Dakota corn and clover associ-
alton at Grand Forks antici-
pates a further increase next
year from three to four hun
dred thousand acres, basing
estimates on the number of
farmers who have raised their
own seed corn this year, and
the large number who have
signified their intention of be
ginning corn next year. 81. .
Within the last two or three
years the corn belt has been
steadily pushed northward till,
this year, it has reached the
most northern counties of the
state. Corn has matured right
under the international bound.

fields in the state being found
in these northern districts.
The interest farmers have
taken In raising their own seed
corn has been the greatest
factor in adding new acreage
to the worlds corn growing
region. This new corn has
been grown to mature within

the more northern cline. and

be exceptionally satisfactory.

year will be the greatest in
several season. Most of the
new settlers are purchasing
developed lands and they are
farmers whose previous ex-
perience has been in states
where diversified methods
have been employed. The fact
means the Improvement Of
North Dakota farms on a more
scientific basis, while diversi-
fication of interests will do
away with the old-time one
crop" system that was adopted
by farmers of the earlier stages
of the states development.

BIG BARBECUE AT
UN|ONTOWN TODAY
State Officials and Other
Prominent Citizens to
Attend Affair

Montgomery, July 2.-(Special.)-State
officials and prominent citizens of Mont
gomery will go to Uniontown tomorrow to
attend the annual farmers institute and
barbecue to be given by the directors of
the Canebrake Experiment station at that
place. The annual affair at Uniontown Is
usually one of the largest and most inn
portant of its kind held in that section
of the state, and indications are that
the barbecue Wednesday will surpass all
former affairs held under the auspices of
the Canebralxe Experiment station.
Among the well known officials who
will attend the institute and barbecue is
Charles Henderson, president of the state
railroad commission, and candidate for
governor. Mr. Henderson passed through
Montgomery Tuesday on his way to
Uniontown.
Mr. Henderson will probably be the
only candidate for governor in attendance
at the barbecue, though 1t is more than
probable that number of candidates for
the lesser state offices will be in attend
ance.
owing to his inspection trip to the
mines in Jefferson county. Governor
O'Neal will not attend the barbecue.
though he had originally planned to be In
attendance
