OF DIRECTORS FOR SlO,-
900 COOPERATIVE CREAMERY
DAY-WILL OPERATE WITHIN
TWO MONTHS.

At an enthusiastic meeting of a
number of dairymen and farmers of
this vicinity, held at the rooms of the
Association of Commerce Saturday

laws Of the new cooperative creamery
company were adopted and the follow
ing board of directors elected:

Linnertz, Erik Hustad, w. D. Wilson
E. E. Miller and F. E. Cook. The
board will meet this week to elect Of
ficers, from their own number 1t is
probable that J. E. Elsberry, proprie-
tor of the Riverside Dairy, will be
elected president.
The company is known as the Minot
Dairy Company, and is capitalized for
$4,000, more than half of which
stock has already been subscribed at
500 per share. Committees will be
appointed to interview the farmers
and get the remaining stock subscrib-
ed. Only farmers or dairymen can
own stock in the concern, we under
stand.
1t is believed that the creamery
will be running within two months. A
lot will be secured soon, a competent
manager secured, the proper machin-
cry bought and a strictly sanitary
building constructed. Plans will be
effected to wholesale and retail the
milk and cream. 1t will be clarified

uted to the trade. The object of the
organization is to furnish market

give them all there is in it. A mill
depot will be established in the city.
This is going to bring more cows
and money to this country and scores
Of farmers will receive good sizee

SOUND ADVICE
ONE OF OUR READERS SOUNDS
THE KEY NOTE TO SUCCESS
Full FARMING-WANTS FARM
ERS TO DO SOME PLANNING.

This snow the last of March is just
the thing to start your crops as soon
as the seed is in the ground. With the
large amount of blowing done last fall,
nearly every farmer should have his
whole crop in early and you all realize
the great advantage Of early sowing
and you'll all "go some" as soon as
the frost leaves the ground.
BY "going some" we don't mean the
careless, haphazard, "slap 'er in boys"
way. You can hustle and still do
things right. 1t is better to have a
small good crop that a good small
crop. So don't get too ambitious
and try to put in section when a
quarter section is all you can handle
successfully
Registered cattle are being shipped
into the state in large numbers this
year and whether you buy or not, you
should take immediate steps to i'm
prove your present holdings. Study
the, different farm papers and take in
lecture every time one comes within
reach. Consult the Better Farming
Association on important subjects and
arrange sort Of farm dictionary to
jot down the thing which interest you
most. Success comes only to those
who 60 after it and if you will take
"a survey Of your community ! think
you can verify this statement. There
are always a few who succeed but the
majority fall into rut which sooner
or later means failure Get out of the
rut. Be alive. Do things.
It's up to,you to make a good show
ing this year and, while we are all
willing to help you in every way pos
sible, it is your efforts that count.
Every ordinary man has an ordi-
nary supply Of brains but they will
mot develop if not used and the longer
they are left unused the poorer asset
they become. A man with brains
that work can make money anywhere.
$50 use your brains.
Brains are just as essential to the
farmer as to any other businessman.
The farmer who succeeds can tell you
the value Of increasing your thinking
capacity. It's nothing but q habit and
once you cultivate that habit you'll be
surprised how easy you can work
things out that before seemed impos-
sible. ma .ss .ssS NJ M n al vi

LYNCH farmer
TAKES own LIFE
VIM. E. BURKE, GROWING De-
SPONDENT, ENDED HIS EXIST
ENCE BY THE STRICHNINE
ROUTE SATURDAY EVENING.

VIM. f. Burke, prosperous farmer
residing twelve miles north and two
miles west of Minot, committed sui
eide Saturday evening about six o.
clock by swallowing the contents of
an eight ounce bottle of strychnine.
Burke was found in convulsions on the
floor Of the kitchen by Morris Philips,
the hired man, who rushed to Howell's
store and gave the alarm. When
neighbors arrived short time later,
Burke was dead.
Burke had been respondent ever
since the death of his wife, about q
year ago. He had planned on holding
a sale and quit farming, but the storm
last Thursday ,interfered with his
plans and the sale had been postponed
until today. This, along with imagin-
ary troubles, caused his deranged con-
dition.
Burke was making biscuits for sup
per and Philips says he seemed to be
rational. Philips was out doing the
chores and Burke had gone out for
some wood, then went back into the
house. Soon after, Philips heard him
fall to the floor and investigated, find
ing Burke frothing at the mouth and
in terrible convulsions. Not knowing
what to do, he hurried for help.
Burke had bought eight bottles of
strychnine to kill gophers, seven bot
ties of the drug being found in one
box. After emptying the one bottle
he had thrown the bottle and cover
into the fire.
Coroner Doe was notified but did
not consider an inquest necessary. The
remains were taken to Glenburn Mon
day and inferred.
Burke owned 24O acres of fine land
and owed only about $500. His sole
heir is his fve-year-old daughter,
Mary.
Public Administrator Bach went to
the Burke farm the first Of the week
and arranged for the sale to be held
as advertised Thursday.

THE LEGISLATOR
AND INTEREST RATE
MURRAY URGES VOTERS TO
SOUND OUT CANDIDATES FOR
THE LEGISLATURE ON THE
PROPOSED LOWERING OF IN
TEREST RATE.
Berthold. N, D., Mar, 80.

Berthold, N. d., Mar. 80.
To the Independent:
am in receipt of large number of
letters in which the claim is made that
Senator or Representative So and So
told me that he would support a low
er rate of interest but did not vote as
he promised" Then lost confidence
is expressed. Now, in order to over
come this misunderstanding or re-.
creance as the case may be, suggest
the following method to get candi-
dates position on record: Whenever
any one Republican, Democrat or
Bull Moose) announces his candidacy
for the legislature or the senate, some
one in every community, address
letter to the candidate, having several
of your neighbors sign with you, and
ask the candidate to publish in some
newspaper, his views on the interest
question; and also tell him that you
desire to hear him in speech on this
and other questions at your voting
place
Every farmer should make it spec
ial point to see that this is done. II
a candidate expresses himself over his
signature in newspaper, the editor
of that paper will guard the peoples
interest in calling his hand should
such candidate afterwards prove re-
creant to the trust imposed upon him.
Every authority on political econ
omy agrees that the test of a candi-
date for any Office should be rs he
honest? Is he competent? Will he
be faithful to the trust imposed upon
him."
In considering the qualifications of
a candidate, he should not only favor
and unhesitatingly agree to vote for
a contract rate Of per cent, a legal
rate of 6 per cent, and provisions for
a maximum charge of per cent on
long time real estate loans, but agree
to support such amendments to the
law as will prevent money lenders to
evade the law, and to fight the parlia-
mentary tactics of the benefciaries.
And should they fail in securing the
passage Of the law then support ref
erendum measure of the question to
the voters like the suffrage measure,
S. B. No. 8 of the last legislature.
All other interests cooperate to Sc
cure laws for their own benefit. They
do not wait, one for another, to do
something but all get busy. Now if
farmers desire to secure laws for
their own benefit everyone is needed
to cooperate.
Yours to win,
GEO. T. MURRAY.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN
NOW ON FOR M|NOT


On Tuesday afternoon the ladies of
Minot met again at the Association Of
Commerce rooms. This time to lay
different plans for the coming clean
ing up campaign.
1t was decided that the city should
be divided into six wards and that
each ward has it's own committee of
eight ladies with president and Sec
retary. These ward committees will
appoint two ladies in each block in
that ward to look after the cleaning of
that block.
The school children will be asked to
help the committees, and the idea is to
have the children beautify vacant lots
for which prizes will be given in the
fall.
In the first ward, Mrs. R. H. Bosard
was elected president and Mrs. T. J..
Vincent as secretary. In the second
ward Mrs. w. D. Wendt, president,
and Mrs. +. J. Lyman as secretary. In
the third ward Miss Alma Sandstrom
as president and Mrs. ]. B. Perkett
secretary. The fifth ward is in charge
of Mrs. L. D. McGahan and Mrs. F..
M. Yale. The sixth ward will be look
ed after by committee headed by
Mrs. G. Morrow, president, and DR.. c..
Ross as secretary.
- 4 II 10 e. T. -
The ladies in charge of the blocks
will be appointed on Saturday as will
also the executive committee of the
fourth ward.
The clean up period will last five
days and the executive committee will
request the city commission to name
the last day as a holiday. It is ex-
pected that fully sixteen hundred peo-
pie will be in charge Of this campaign.

BATES WILL have
CHICAGO Office
500 IMMIGRATION OFFICE IN
MlNOT TO BE CLOSED ABOUT
APR. 10-AFTER THAT DATE
LISTING WILL BE MADE WITH
ST. PAUL OFFICE DIRECT.

1t is announced that the Immigra-
ton Office of the 500 Line in this city
will be closed about the 10th to the
18th Of April, and Mr.. John ]. Bates,
who has been in charge Of the office
since Major Murphy was transferred
to Minneapolis, will take chargeof the
Office in Chicago. This move is rem
tered necessary on account of the
great amount of work in the office in
Minneapolis, and on the other hand,
over 5000 quarter sections of land
have been listed for sale, more work
to secure additional listings is unnec-
essary, and those who voluntarily list
their land hereafter can do so direct
with the main Office in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Bates has been associated with
Major Murphy in the Minot Office since
sthe campaign for settlers began, in
fact, the two together devised and
worked out the present plan. Chicago
is right in the center Of the best dis
'trict in which it is hoped to obtain
esttlers, and Mr.. Bates, having been
born and raised in Illinois, and know
ing conditions there thoroughly, and
being at the same time one of the most
earnest and consistent boosters for
and believers in North Dakota real
estate, will undoubtedly give a good
account of himself in his new field of
work, and with two such enthusiasts as
Major Murphy and Mr.. Bates in Min
neapolis and Chicago, and the low ex-
cursion rates just announced by the
500 Line, the success of the great cam
paign seems to be practically assured.
It is certain that genuine support
for the campaign in North Dakota
will never be lacking, and the new set
tiers will be met by bunch of boost
ers, united in their efforts, with a
hearty welcome for the honest farm
er from the Central states.
