PETER BERRINGER HAS
AN AUTO ACCIDENT

Wednesday evening P. F. Berringer
had close call from what might
have been a very serious accident.
He and his daughter, Miss Leila, were
returning from q trip in the country
east of the city. When two miles
from Lehigh they discovered that
they were out of wood alcohol for
their engine and returned to Lehigh
and telephoned to Dickinson for some.
H. X. Nichols went down Immediately
with the supply needed. Soon after
starting Mr.. Berringer came to the
river and in crossing broke through
the ice. In getting out much water
was stopped about the car. Going a
little farther deep ravine was
crossed and the road went up steep
and narrow grade. When nearly
reaching the top Mr.. Berringer saw
that he was not going to make it on
high and tried to shift to low. AS
soon as he had changed from high he
was unable to get into low or inter-
mediate, or even back into high.
Meanwhile the car started back down
the hill. The breaks refused to work,
having been frozen by the water from
the river. Knowing that Mr.. Nichols
was coming behind. Mr.. Berringer
was afraid that he might crash into
the approaching car and looked back.
When he did this his own car plunged
off the narrow roadway into a deep
hole. Mr.. Berringer was thrown 10
or Is feet onto the frozen ground,
injuring his back and hip. However,
he was able to be around on Thurs
day.
The car was standing on end at the
bottom of the draw, one wheel broken.
Miss Berringer was fortunate in
being in the Nichols car at the time
of the accident.

OPEN SEASON
FOUR MONTHS
+. 49,.

At the last election the question OF
changing the length of time for the
open stock season was brought be,
fore the voters of Stark county. By
Ia large majority it was voted to
leave the law as it now is, that is
making it lawful to allow stock to
run at large from December 1st to
April 1st. This gives the stockrais-
ers four months during which time
they do not have to bother herding
and watching their stock or worry
about keeping the fences up in shape.
This seems to be a good law; at
least it has worked out to the salts
faction of a majority in the past.
During these winter months the
stock will do little damage when
turned loose, as all grain should be
taken care Of by the first of Decem-
Der and very little grain is up by the
first of April. to be damaged. Hay
and straw stacks are about all that
can be damaged, and most people
who want their stacks safe fence
them anyway. AS live stock is be-
coming one of the main items of rev.
enue on the farm, it makes a big
saving to allow the stock to get out
and rustic during the good days of
this four month period. AS the
PRESS understand the law requires
owners to fence stacks left out in
open fields.
It is understood that in Dunn
county the fifteen day open season
won out, making it lawful in the
country to the north for cattle to run
at large only from January 1st to
January 18th.

DICKINSON STATION
EXPERIMENT GIVEN

Washington, d. c., Nov. 13.-The
results of experiments with cereals
which have been conducted since 1907
at Dickinson, N. D., in cooperation
with the North Dakota State Expert
ment Station have now been pub
lished by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture as Bulletin No.
33, "Cereal Experiments at Dickin-
son, North Dakota" Z
In this section only spring varie-
ties of all the cereals, except rye, are
grown commercially. Experimental;
plats Of winter wheat were tested
but all were severely injured every
year by winterkilling. For the six
years the average yield per acre of
the So varieties of spring wheat test
ed was % bushels. Of these spring
wheat varieties the durum group gave
the best yields, the two leading varie-
ties being Kubanka and Arnautka.
The fife and bearded fife groups
came next, while the bluestem group,
commonly grown in North Dakota,
produced comparatively low yields.
In yield Of straight -four, the diff
ferent groups of wheat ranked as
follows: Bluestem, durum, bearded
fife, and fife.
For oats the average yield Of all
varieties was ATT bushels. The
groups ranked as follows: Medium
early, medium late, early and late.
The highest yields were obtained
from the Early Mountain, Golden
Rain and Victory varieties.
3O.3 bushels, the Proved varieties,

COUNTY JUDGE BUGBEE
DIES VERY SUDDENLY

Charles Bugbee, aged nearly 60,
died suddenly the morning Of Novem-
ber 10Th, at his homestead some 18
miles northwest of Manning. De-
ceased ate his breakfast as usual,
lighted his pipe and went out for a
few minutes. One of the sons was
helping his mother about the work in
the house and his father not return
ing as quickly as had been expected,
he went out and found him dead,
heart failure being attributed as the
cause.
AS far as known Mr.. Bugbee was
enjoying fairly good health and his
sudden death came as a great shock
to the people of Dunn county, where
he was so we'll known and where he
had lived the past 10 years. His
two sons, Curtis and Roy, were as
sociated with him and were at home,
making four in the family. They had
some two sections of land in the
home farm and were in very comfort
able circum stances.
Charles Bugbee was born in Yer
mont, but before coming. to this
country had resided for a long time
at Rockford, MINI. He was commits
sioner of Wright county for some
eight years, and when Dunn county
was organized he was appointed pro-
bate judge. At the next two general
elections he had been chosen by the
people to fill the office and for a
third time last fall, he was elected
for another two years. He was the
only man on the democratic ticket to
receive an election. ~
Services were conducted by Rev. j:
c.. Erb from the Pugbee home Tues
day morning. The pail bearers were:
Rasmus Jensen, r. W. Sweetman, NJ.
S. Cuskelly, T. M. Davis and l.. L.
Doherty. The remains were taken to
Dickinson and Wednesday afternoon
were shipped to Rockford for burial.
The Masons took charge of the
body in Dickinson and the members
of the order at Rockford were to re-
ceive the remains there and to look
after the wife and two sons who
went on from here.
Mrs. John Schoenline of Oakdale,
a daughter, was unable to accompany
the family east.
Rasmus Jensen brought the Bugbee
family to Dickinson on Wednesday in
his auto. -, :.a. ....
*Atsth Dunn Center, celebration on
the. 18th of October, Mr.. Bugbee was
present and was one of the committee
who waited on F. o. Hellestrom, the
democratic candidate for governor
Mr.. Bugbee told the publisher of the
PRESS at that time that he hoped to
make a trip to Vermont during the
early winter, but it seems that this
was not to be.
The death of Mr.. Bugbee creates a
vacancy in the office Of county judge
in Dunn which will be filled by ap-
pointment until the general election
in 1916.

THE BURNS TRIAL GOES
TO THE MINOT DISTRICT

S. A. Burns, charged with murder
ing Henry Sexse, his neighboring
homesteader in northern Mckenzie
county, has obtained a change of
venue from Mckenzie county to Ward
county, and the case will be tried at
Minot, probably in December.
Burns also made his plea Of not
guilty.
The change Of venue was obtained
because Of the alleged bitter feeling
toward Burns. H is accused of Kill

latter's land, which he subsequently
declared Sexse had sold to him and to
which he exhibited deed, supposedly
signed by Sexse, but which the state
maintains was forged @

NEW LAWS MADE
BY THE ELECTORS

Mandan News:-Ten years of effort
bv the initiative and referendum sup.
porters of North Dakota has finally
resulted in the adoption of measure
by which both the statutes and the
constitution can be bent to the wishes
of the people-irrespective of actor
that may be taken by the legislature
The initiative and referendum was
adopted by the people in the election
Of last week, an overwhelming ma.
jority having apparently been given
both propositions. The principle was
provided in two separate bills-one
relating to legislative enactments
only, and the other to the constitu-
ton only.
In initiating a new law, petition
of at least ten per cent of the total
vote of the state, obtained in ma
jority of the counties of the state, is
required. There must be filed thirty
days before the beginning of a legis-
lative session, and by the secretary of
state certified to the assembly when
it convenes.
Such initiative measure shall take
precedence in the legislature over all
other measures, except appropriation,
and must either be enacted or reject
ed by the legislature, without amend
ment, within forty days. Failure to
act on the bill within the specified
time automatically referred it to the
people for. vote.
The act so initiated is subject to
the referendum. The legislature, if ii
choose, can substitute bill of it's own
for that proposed, and refer both to
the people. The one receiving the
highest vote shall be declared enact
ed.
Any measure enacted by the assem-
bly, is subject to the referendum. Pc
titions asking for the referendum are
governed by the same conditions i'm
posed on an initiating petition, and
must be filed within 80 days of the
time the legislature adjourns. Laws
affecting public, peace or safety are
not subject to the referendum, when
houses. A majority of the votes cast
on the proposition is required to pass
the bill in the election.
In initiating a constitutional
amendment, petition containing Is
per cent of the total vote, obtained in
a majority Of the counties, must be
filed at least six months before the
general election, and shall be- voted
upon at such election. Then it goes
to the legislature, and if approved by
the assembly, it becomes law.
Should the legislature fail to ap-
prove of the measure, it is then re-
ferred back to the people for another
vote at the next succeeding general
election. If again given majority
vote, it becomes a law.

DICKINSON WILL DONATE
CAR FLOUR FOR BEL|GANS

The Belgian flour fund, mention of
which was made in these columns last
week, is increas sing rapidly. At first
it was thought that 100 sacks would
be respectable offering. However,
|mese than this was secured the first
day, and then came the Odd Fellows
with donation of $25 and the Elks
with $50. The fund now totals $3.50
or better, and with special Thanks
giving services it is expected to bring
the amount up to $500 which will
purchase full carload of flour. The
Dickinson Roller Milling Co. are sup
plying 49 lb. sacks at $1.0O each. AT
this price for good wholesome bread
flour almost everybody ought to be
able to pay for sack Of flour for
the suffering Belgians. A great
many farmers have already sent do
nations to President ALT. White or
Secretary John Orchard, and there is
still chance for any others.
AS stated last week, the railroads
transport free to Philadelphia and the
very low ocean charge is already pro-
vided for by eastern people. The
flour has to be shipped in special
sacks and these will be printed, show
ing the name of the mill and county
from which shipped. A car will take
500 sacks and if this county can send
out a full carload of flour for the
American consul to distribute among
the Belgians it will not only save
many lives but it will show to our
European friends that the Americans
are living in a land of plenty and are
willing to be exceedingly generous in
matters of this kind.
Some of our readers may have
noted that on November 18th a ship
load Of Christmas goods was started
across the Atlantic for the destitute
Austrians, Belgians, Germans and
Russians. The cargo represented 10C
carloads of goods, 80 cars of which
were American toys and articles to
gladden. the hearts of the little folks
many of whom are now fatherless.

FARMERS SHOULD BE WARNED

It is we'll to call the attention of
farmers to a danger made very mani
fest by recent fatal accident in
Ohio. Since 1875, when the first
American silo was built by DR..
Manley Miles, this method Of preserv-
ing forage for live stock has been
generally adopted. Although the
Department of Agriculture has fire.
quently called attention to the danger
Of carbon dioxide gas accumulating in
silos under certain conditions, no ia
talities have been reported hereto
fore. Recently four workmen on the
farm Of the Athens, Ohio, State hos
pital, ascended the ladder on the out
side Of a. silo to an open door about
twelve feet from the top and jumped
down one after another on to the 81
lage, the top of which was about six
feet below the door. About five min
utes after; two other workmen, fol-
lowing them, found them unconscious.
Although large force Of workmen
were Immediately summoned and the
bodies. of the four men removed
through a lower door, the physicians
of the hospital, who were at once on
the ground, were unable to resusci-
tate any Of the victims. Evidently
the carbon dioxide gas had accumulat-
ed during, the night, filling tie silo
up to the level Of the door and form
ing layer, of carbon dioxide gas six
feet deep. Such accidents, says the
journal Of the. American Medical AS
sociation, might easily be repeated
on any modern farm. Agriculture
journals should call the attention Of
the farmefs;sto this danger, and
should urge that silos be carefully
ventilated before being entered.

ELECT OFFICERS
CEMETERY ASS0,

The annual meeting Of the Dickin-
son Cemetery Association was held
Monday night at the office of the sec
retary, A. P. Folsom, in the First
National bank building at which time
the following officers were elected:
A. T. Crowl, president:
J. P. Tingle, vice president.
A. P. Folsom, secretary.
J. L. Hughes, treasurer. ~
The board of directors are, MIS-.
Margaret Dodd, Miss Jennie Mason,
J. P. Tingle, P. H. Rundle, D. w. Nc
Kenzie, J. L. Hughes, A. P. Folsom
and Herman Rabe. ].
The association is now in fine
shape having started many pernna-
nent improvements the past year
which speak for themselves. Chief
among these are the water supply
and the breaking of the 32-foot strip
of land on the west and south sides! of
the cemetery fence for trees which
are to be set next spring. The fence
has recently been set over to take in
this strip, the same being the decided
property Of the association. Rows of
trees were set on either side of the
main driveway, east and west, last
spring and the coming year .other
drive ways will be supplied with
trees. A sexton house was erected
last spring and a great many I'M
provements made, including the
beautifying of many lots, funds for
which were supplied by the individual
owners. This work will be kept up
in good shape in the future and am
other spring an effort will be made
to get individuals to beautify their
grounds with shrubs, etc: ~ II.
The expenditure of the Dickinson
Cemetery Association the past season
amounted. to $534.96, most of which
were for pipe required in laying water
mains to the grounds. A balance tot
$203.37 is now on hand. The ladies'
auxiliary took care of the expense of
the sexton during the summer and
has snug balance in the treasury at
the present time. It is the plan OF
the soliciting committee to go out
right away and procure donations the
same as a year ago and put the
money on interest until spring. :
Owners of lots in the Dickinson
Cemetery, and others, have been XesS
willing to contribute for improve.
ments since they have found out that
the expenditures were being made in
a wise manner. Donations from $25
down have been received, many COM
ing from those living at distance
It is for a good cause, and when
members of the auxiliary society
ask for contributions, give willingly
and as literally as possible. The Of
ficers of the association are doing q
splendid work and are not getting q
penny for their services, except the
deed fee of SOC which goes to the
secretary. President Crowl has done
an immence amount of supervising
the past year and he is willing tc
continue the good work, and the very
least our readers can do is to show
their appreciation. The officers OF
the auxiliary are likewise doing q
grand work and their efforts should
be appreciated.
The officers of the auxiliary are as
follows: Miss Grace Crowl, presi-
dent; Mrs. J. F. Davis, 1st vice presi-
dent; Mrs. K. D. Wiley, End vice
president; Mrs. H. F. Beidler, secre-
tary; Mrs. w. J. Zimmerman, treas

FRIEDMAN CURE
 NOT EFFECTIVE Report on Patients Treated Year Ago Made by Dr..
 Manufacturer.
REMEDY A FAILURE
Tests on Eighteen Patients Fails to Show That Any Was Helped
 Three Die During Year-In
 One Disease Was Arrested.

Washington. D. C., May 9.-After observing patients who had been treated with Dr. Fredrich F. Fried mans vaccine for fourteen months, Dr. Manufacturer of New York declared here today that this cO-called cure for tuberculosis has exhibited neither curative nor preventive powers. He made his report before the clinical section of the National association for the Study and Prevention of Tubersu- losis, now in sessions here.
 Three Patients Die.
 "In March, 1913," said Dr. Mann heimer, "eighteen patients were treat ed under my supervision. Of these fifteen can be followed up, and of that number, three are dead. The number of injections in these cases were one, two, and four respectively. Of; the remaining twelve patients, ten receiv- ed one, and two received four injec- tions. Five of the ten patients who received one injections developed ab- scesses at the site of the injection and were. therefore, unsuitable for further injections, according to the inventor. The other five patients were not re- injected, either because they did not see the improvement thy had been led to expect or because they had become worse and had lost confidence in Friedman. As to their present condi- ton, five of them are now unchanged and five are worse than year ago.
 Four Injections Fail.
 "One patient who had four injec- tions, feels we'll and presents signs of an arrested lung-process, but he has not gained in weight and has develop ed a new tuberculosis process in an- other part of the body. The second patient with four injections has tuber- culosis of the knee-joint and is now decidedly worse than before. The in- filtrate of the fourth injection broke down and discharged pus.
 "Where abscesses resulted at the site of the first injection, the vaccine apparently produced no additional harmful effect. The disease remained uninfluenced. Friedman neglected to prevent scess-formation, although he claimed to know how. To be very charitable, one might judge from one single case, that decided natural heal ing tendencies, aided by common sense treatment, will not be hindered by the remedy. When in quiescent case the first subjective and objective symptoms of new outbreak appear and one naturally wishes to check it., the remedy is absolutely worthless for that purpose. It cannot prevent the tendency to spread, if case is so dis posed. The method of it's administra- tion has been anything but careful and intelligent. For these reasons,

Even when French Market Coffee could be had only in the old French Market at New Orleans, over a hundred years ago, t was celebrated all over the South. Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay and other famous men of olden simes visited the French Market to enjoy the rarely delicious bev- craze. But now you all may serve it daily on your own tables. For the rare old Frenct blend has been perpctuated by the French Market Mills, and the perfectly sealed process placed
 French Market Coffee within the reach of all.
