THE ECHIM ES


The First National Bank is
getting out little pamphlet de
scflptIye OF the public clock and
chimes erected at the bank re.
Gently and which has attracted
SO much interest. Some visitors
TO tie city We're recently told by
one of our Wags that the chimes
We're i burglar alarm apparatus
and the Strangers We're very
anxious to Investigate theappara
tas. The bank pamphlet how
ever, says:
May We hope that the chimes
will mean something to all Of our
people:
That they will have message
for the younoster on his way to
school; a thought for the busl-
ness man who hustles through
his day, intent on nothing but
the picking up of a few dollars: a
Solace for the old
All the preaching is not done
in churches. The sermon which
comes once a week does nt t
always last through the six days
Of hurry and turmoil and stress
of the strenuous life.
Every day of the week the
chimes will be sounding their
meSsage-the note of warning
spoken ir time: the chimes of re-
ioiclng; the lament in time Of sor.
row. This chime will be all
things to men, for it is going to
belong. not to us alone, but to the
men, women and children of our
community.
What is bell for: Is it not to
attract your attention-to recall
something to your mind:
The new chime is intended to
make you think whenever you
hear its voice rising out of the
noise Of the rity streets 1t will
be little sermon in resounding
metals: a 5enedictlon set in
harmonious cadences.
What will the message be:
That depends entirely upon You.
You must interpret what the
chime SAYS.

MARQUIS WHEAT
4 New Wheat Said to be Good Producer

Mr.. l.. M Karcher, Of the Mill
ING company recently received a
letter IN regard to Marquis
wheat from a. NJ Hagen 4 form
er Grant county man, now living
ia North Dakota, where quite 4
little Of this variety Of wheat had
been raised. Tne letter is as
follows
| Westhope. n D., March 3, 1911.
4. N kaercher,
Mllbauk, 5 ID.
Dear Friend: Your letter Of
recent date received and IN an
sWer to your questions regarding
| Marquis wheat and its yielding
qualities | will say that my own
experience is very limited. Last
| year was the first season it was
raised IN Bottlneau county, it was
then that a few farmers here
bought seed from Canadian
firm paying S2.7o per bushel for
1t These few pieces yielded
from three to seven bushels per
acre more than blue stem, but |
do not consider that first year
trial Of new variety of grain
when grown only in a small way
is fair test of it's superiority
over standard grains because,
beyond a dou bt, farmer who is
trying a new variety of seed
wheat will seed it on the best
piece Of ground that he possess
ses. So it is hard for me to say
in what way the Marquis wheat
when soWn as a general crop, is
better than the blue stem. | un-
derstand that Marquis wheat has
been grown extensively in Cana
da, about one hundred miles
north Of here, for the last five
years and with good success.
II will now describe the plant
and some Of it's habits. 1t grows
with strong. stiff straw. not
quite so rank as blue stem under
the same conditions. 1t ripens
eight DAYS earlier than blue stem
and will not shell when ripe, this
making it more difficult to thresh
than blue stem but this is no
more than is expected Of it on &C
count Of its not ,helling in the
field when ripe
~ sent You 4 sample Of this
wheat last week that was grown
fourteen miles south Of where |
live. There was ~ buShel Of
seed soWn on II acres Of summer
titled land and the yield was -
buShel per acre Will" the yield
Of the blue stem and hard wheat
was from lo to 20 bushel per
acre. This | know from my own
experience as | threshed in that
nei ghborhood for three weeks
last fall, This will give YOU an
idea of what wheat averaged III
the vicinity where the sample
that | have sent you was grown.
There is but 100 bushel of Mar
quis wheat for sale here, that is
that | know OF

SCHWERDTFEGER TO ASK
FOR A PUBLIC HEARING
Fireman Requested to Retire Will
Appear Before District
Commissioners

William A. Schwerdtfeger. private in
No. & engine company, who has been
notified by the Commissioners to appear
not later than tomorrow morning and
show cause why he should not be retired
without d pension will appear and ask
for hearing at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Attorney Frank ]. Hogan. who has been
retained by the Policemen's Association
for the fireman, will present the request.
Just what will be said or done tomorrow
is matter of conjecture
1t is known that the Firemen's Asso-
citation is in favor of a public hearing,
many of its members believing that pub
licity is the method by which justice will
be done both sides.
In all probability it will be argued that
when Schwerdtfeger was an applicant
for position in the fire department he
had to pass a severe physical eXamina-
ton, and had he not passed. Ii is pointed
out. he would not have received the ap-
pointment.
Some of the tireman's closest friends
declare that his strict attention to duty
and fearlessness during his few years of
service resulted in his receiving injuries
at several fires. His most trying eXpe-
rience however, was at the fire in the
five and ten cent store on 9TH street
northwest the night of December 25, 1918.

done to the ina ginary tactical situation
