EDDIE STILL DOING THINGS
Sets New Worlds Record In Economy
Test Rides 167. J Miles on
Gallon Of Gasoline

In an economy test recently
held in the principal cities of
America. under the sanctions
from the federation of Ameri-
can motorcyclists, a North
Dakota boy. Eddie Perrin,
formerly of Willow City now
residing at Lodi, California,
achieved fame and set a new
worlds record by riding an
Excelsior motorcycle 167. 7
miles on a gallon of gasoline
at Stockton, Cal. This is thir-
ty miles better than any form
er record.
The gasoline tank of the ma
chine ridden by Perrin was
drained, retilled and sealed by
an official of the federation and
the chief of police of Stockton
and the officials followed him in
an automobile equipped with
an officially tested odOmeter.
The record set was a surprise
to everybody except his old
friends in Bottineau county,
where he is known as one of
the most proficient gas engine
operators in the business.

What on earth is the matter
with the mail service in some
parts of this country, anyway.
Bro. Drake, of Westhope. sent
out bunch of "dunners" quite
recently, and it appears that all
butone oftheinvitationsto of to come
across failed to reach their des-
tination-as only one reply was
received. Russell Sentinel.
A man who secured his wife
through matrimonial agency
is trying to secure divorce,
says an exchange. Just an
other instance of finding that
the mail order bargains are not
justly represented, and that a
much better grade of the article
can be obtained at home. The
home grown article is usually
the best.
Grain thieves are busy at
Antler. Earl Jones lost load
of barley y from his granary and
Sam Edge missed load of
wheat from his bins one night
last week. Mike Rocker, a
young man living on the q. ID.
Sackett farm was suspected
and a warrant sworn out for
his arrest but when Marshall
Knox went out for his man he
had left for greener fields.
Nor man Hearonemous, who
has been with the SOuris Mes

capacity of "Devil" got tired
of the type cases and presses SO
decided he wanted a vacation
and concluded that the easiest
way to gain that end was to go
fooling with an auto crank.
His judgement proved correct
and he is having his vacation

About twenty-four young
people of the Anderson school
com mmunitv and a few from this
city gathered at the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar

The party broke up at a late
hour. All agreed that it was a
pleasant and profitable social
occasion.

latest war
BULLETINS

The eastern coast Of Engl and was
raided byGerman warships, which
dropped shells in several towns
along as mile strip of coast. Con-
siderable damage was done in
Scarborough, Whitby and Hartle-
pool, 40 persons being killed or
wounded.
The German raid apparently
was performed by some fast crui-
sers, and as far as known the main
British and German fleets were
not engaged. London reports that
two German warships were sunk.
The British admiralty state d that
naval encounters were in progress
but details of the engage ment and
the outcome are lacking.
Although the raid on Eng land
overshadowed all other develop
ments for the time being, there
were important occuranccs in
other quarters. The French Off
cial statement says that some fur
ther progress has been made by
the allies in Bclgium;that German
attacks in Alsace and the Wocvre
district had been repulsed, and
that British warships have again
bombarded German positions on
the coast of Belgium.
Further progress has been made
by German troops in the east, ac-
cording to the Berlin statement
that strong Russian positions have
been taken and 5000 more prison.
ers captured.
Constantinople reports that the
tribes of Northern Albania have
declared war on SerVia.

Donate q Book Read Many

The members of the WO-
mans club have been asked to
serve as a com r.ittee whose
duty it shall be to ask every
person in the city and vicinity
to donate one book or more for
a public library. the library to
be located in theCentral school
building and to be opened as
soon as books can be collected

er it may not be possible to see
each one personally, so we ask
you now, to give one book and
thereby have the privilege of
reading many others.
Books will be called for if
you will notify the committee
or if you can send them direct
ly to the Central school they
will be taken care of by the
teachers or the janitor.

BETTER FARMING NOTES

The winter season may be
made profitable and much plea
sure may be derived by the
farmers and other citizens of
the communities in encourag-
ing a get-together spirit. This
may be helped along by meet
ing together for social inter-
course and the discussion of
timely topics III the way of
farmers clubs. meeting semi
monthly in the homes of the
members or in the school house
of the neightorhood. Your
Better Farming agent will be
very glad to assist in any way
in organizing and getting un-
der way these clubs and much
interest and profit to the COM
munity may be derived by
such meetings. Whitby town
ship farmers have already or
ganized a splendid club and
will get a lot of pleasure and
help by having done so. Other
communities are ripe for this
work. Who will be the next
to help to protitably pass the
winter by starting a movement
in their community by calling
a meeting for the organization
of a Farmers club, to consist of
the farmers and their families
of neighborhood? During this
week the writer will assist in a
Farmers school held at Clyde,
Cavalier county having three
day session under the direction
of the Clyde Farmers club and
the Better Farming men of
Cavalier county, where sub
jects of interest to the farmers
will be discussed by competent
men. A boys contest for corn
and grains and a Baby Show
will also be held in connect
ion, and will help to add inter
est to this event.
Several of these schools
might be held in Bottineau
county during the winter.
We are here to help in this
work and when any local in
terest is shown will assist any
town or com munity to or
ganize either form of meet
ings. A. p. Henderson

THE RED CROSS STAMP

has been prolific of much good
results, must be paid for and
the distribution of literature
and incidental expenses cost
money.
Last year $500 was raised by
the sale of Red Cross stamps
in this state and it is hoped
that this sum will be exceeded
this year, Bismarck headed
the list of cities, with sales
amounting to $168.42 to it's
credit; Grand Forks was second
with $t63. 65, and Mandan third
with $73. There promises to
be a lively race this year to
see which will lead in the good
work. The slogan seems to be
Buy your Red Cross stamps
