The Dalrympre farm Is nationally
known and do not think there is q

name. The farm was established In
1876 by Mr.. Oliver Dalrymple and q
number of eastern capitalists who
saw the opportunities of North Da-
kota before the world discovered
Since that date the farm has had its
ups and downs like hundreds OF other
farms in this state as we'll as in other
states. But today the D%alrynple
farm stands a symbol Of good man
agement and a monument of the hard
work of it's founder. At the present
time the farm Is owned and managed
by the Dalrymple Bros, sons of the
founder.
The farm is divided into seven diff.
ferent departments. Each has its own
foreman and crew which are directly
controlled by the home farm where
Mr.. John S. Dalrymple resides and en-
gineers the operations on the farm.
The other brother is located at Du-
luth, Minnesota, where he handles the
selling end as well as a large commits
sion business. -

consists Of twenty thousand acres OF

Of corn that he has planted. Some OF

Petition For Hoy.
The sentencing of William Hoy OF
Danbury, to life imprisonment, which
in Danbury and among people of
other places who attended the trial in
bridgeport may result in immediate
action on the part of people inter-
ested in Hoy's case for the starting of
q petition to be presented to the proper
authorities asking for Hoy's pardon at
such time the term of Mrs. Nettie
Palmer, who escaped with one to three
years in prison, may expire.
A man who is taking an interest in
the case said that the state failed to
prove who caused the infants death.
States Attorney Judson and the jury
evidently thought Hoy was the more
to blame, but Danbury people disagree
with them. They point out that Hoy
was practically a mental WeakliuE be-
fore he came under the woman's in
nuence, and say that he has never dis
played any great mental ability. Mrs,
Palmer, they say, was easily enable to
influence him when he first came to
work on the Palmer farm in Roxbury.
He was only seventeen years old, and
she was thirty. In subsequent years.
they believe, Mrs. Palmer exercised a
sort of hypnotism over him. He stood
