All in all the trip was an en-

assisted the unfortunates to
fix up their troubles so that
none of the cars were actually
left out of line.
The second annual tour of

good spirit and entertain in the
best possible manner those who
will attend the fair. 1t is an
absolute demonstrated fact that
the;e two tours have done more
toward causing a good feeling
to exist throughout the entire
county than any other one
thing that has taken place in
the last fifteen years.

Accident -csbsrsl nsmerrhsss
Causes Death

Our fair city was cast in
gloom early Saturday morning
when the body of William Nc
Keen, the nineteen-year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Nc.
Keen, living south of this city,
was found cold in death by
Master Milton Quamme near
the sidewalk in front of the A.
S. Nero residence on Thomp-
son street.
William was in the city Fri
day evening with some friends
and attended the last perfor M
ance at the Grand theater. The
last seen of him alive was at
about eleven o'clock when he
said he was going for his horse.
Shortly after the storm broke
out and it is the general sup
position that his horse became
frightened and ran away. Seem
ingly the unfortunate young
man hung unto the lines as
the condition of his clothing,
and bruises about the head
and arms " would indicate. That
the young man also made faint
efforts to get to shelter from
the storm and secure assistance
was also evident. but his efforts
were in vain and he was left
out in the rain and storm until
the life within him was ex-
tinct. An inquest was held
over the remains Saturday af-
ternoOn and cerebral hemorr-
hage given as the cause of
death.
William McKeen was born
in New Brunswick on Sept
ember 16, 1894, and moved to
BOttineau with his parents
some time later. He was
educated in the local schools
and was a favorite among the
teachers and students.
Funeral services were held
from the Baptist church in
this city at 8 o'clock Monday
afternoon, Rev. l. ID. McBain
of Willow City officiating. The
remains were laid to rest in
Oak Creek cemetery. The
pall-bearers were Fay Ans
baugh, Clifford Mcintosh, Don
aid Mcintosh. Lawrence Nor
din, Doyle Trent and Johnston
Walkers.
The sympathy of the entire
community is extended to the
sorrowing parents and family
in their hour of deep 50 rrow.

county at Antler coming east
from Candana. 1t travelled
within two and one-half miles
of Westhope, striking Landa
and then going south along the
Mouse river as far az Kramer.
The storm measured from two
to eight miles in width and die

anything like true valuation. He feels
that before giving up something that
he knows he can sell, some means
should be provided by which the sub
stitute crop could be probably mar
keted.
while this feeling is to a certain
extent justified, it is but fair to the
grain dealers of Georgia to say that
the present state of affairs is largely
the fault of the producer, in that he
does not put his corn, oats, wheat, hay,
etc., in the same salable shape as it can
be bought in other sections.
His corn is generally offered for
sale in the ear, or if shelled, it is nor
properly cleaned and is frequently full
of cob ends and rotten corn and is i'm
properly sacked. His oats and wheat
suffer from the same lack of proper
packages. His hay is often poorly cur
ed and poorly packed, and is usually a
general mixture of crab-grass, pea
vines, clover, Bermuda, weeds and any
thing that happens to grow up in the
fields
"In short, if the farmer would give
the same attention to the raising of his
food crops and offer them for sale in
the same marketable shape as he does
his cotton, he would have less trouble
in disposing of them at the market
price. The requirements for making
these products bring their true value
are stated here briefly. They are not
unreasonable and in reality would
cause very little extra trouble to the
farmer
Corn should be selected before be-
ing shelled; that is, the damaged or

information, the State Chamber secur-
ed the services of a committee of ex-
perts, the report of which follows:
In considering the question of re-
ducing the cotton acreage the farmer
has complained that he has nothing to
raise on the area formerly devoted to
the staple crop. When corn, wheat,
oats and hay are suggested he claims
with some justification that when he
raises any more of these products than
he can use himself, or dispose of in his
immediate neighborhood, there is no
possibility of selling his surplus at

choice, green Alfalfa, he will not ac-
cept a mixture of Alfalfa, swamp grass
and Bermuda as a substitute. If he
wants Timothy, clover, peavine, ar any
other one variety of hay, he will not be
satisfied with mixture of the three.
Therefore, the first thing to be done
in raising hay is to decide on the va
riety to be raised and then strive, as
near as possible, to keep that field free
from other grasses. The subject is to
which variety is best to be raised is too
lengthy to discuss here, other than TO
suggest that Alfalfa, which only has
to be planted once and which produces
four or five crops year, is in growing
demand everywhere and worth yof
borough investigation by the progress
liver farmer
after getting the hay-meadow in
shape to produce some particular kind
of forage the next thing to consider is
proper curing and baling. Many a good
crop has suffered materially in market
value owing to the careless and i'm
proper manner in which it is taken
care of after cutting. The brightness
and sweetness must be preserved TO
make it bring a top price. Then after
curing it must be properly baled. The
most suitable size is bale weighing
about one hundred pounds and bound
by three wires. The smaller two
wire bales do not stand transportation
as we'll and the loss from burst bales
is so great that it causes hay so baled
not to bring as good price as the three
wire bale, even though of equal quail
ity.
These suggestions, if followed out,
will make Georgia-raised corn, oats,
wheat and hay able to compete with
Western-raise grain and forage of the
same quality. The best admonition is
for the farmer not to expect to get as
much for his goods as it would cost
him to buy them. He pays the manu-
facturer a profit on his clothing made
out of the cotton he produces and
thinks nothing of it, So he must ex-
pect the distributors of the other part
of his crop to make legitimate profit
for handling. If he would but consider
the high freight rate the Western ship
per has to pay to deliver his grain and
hay in Georgia, he would realize that
he is actually getting a great deal more
for his crops than the Westerner, even
when sold in competition with West
ern raised products, as the rate to At
lanta, for instance from the Ohio River
the nearest point from which this
grain and hay can come-is 24c per
100 lbs, which figures Z 2-3 cts. per
bushel on wheat; and $3.50 per ton on
hay. The freight rate on Alfalfa from
Colorado, where the best hay grows, Is
from $40 to $11 per ton, so it is easy
to see that in the very crops which he
feels that he cannot raise, there is a
great advantage in favor of the Geor-
gia farmer"

Old people may regain much of their
former strength and vigor by taking
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, on which so many elderly people
depend for good health. Vinol sharpens
the appetite, aids digestion, enriches the
blood and in this natural manner creates
strength.
The reason Vinol is so efficacious in
such cases is because it contains in q
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements of cod liver
oil, with tonic, blood building iron added.
