1909, $4.25; 1910, $1.49; 1911,

year except in 1910, when there
was a loss of Sl.49 per acre.
The report gives in detail the
cropping on each one of the 25
demonstration farms, so that from
it one can learn when each field
was plowed, how it was handled,
the crop raised, the returns, and
cost OF production. This makes
it possible for persons in any part
of the state to learn from the re-
port what the results have been

locality, by securing the results
from -the nearest demonstration
farm. Copies of the report can be
secured from the North Dakota

FORCED To MARRY
THROUGH A FRAUD
-
YEAR OLD GIRL
USES FRAUD IN OBTAINING
HUSBAND.

Devils Lake, n. d., May 28.--
That Lorenzo Welliver was forced
to marry Mary Welliver seventeen
years old through fraud was es-
tablished in the district court be-
fore Judge c. w. Buttz when the
woman defendant, of her own vio-
lation, uncovered an unfaithful
past on the witness stand in a di-
vorcc suit brought by her husband.
She admitted that kaleb Smith,
a man drowned in Devils Lake
last winter. was the father OF IL
daughter, the parentage of which
she charged to Welliver, forcing
him to marry her. The unfor-
tunate daughter was committed by
the court to the Florence Critten-
ton home at Fargo.

ness and in this capacity he has
been in close touch with the farm
>ers and business men of the coun-
ty at all times. He knows their
needs better than it would be
possible for anyone engaged in
other lines of business to be. He
is a. man thatehas always done, his
best toward the uplift OF the
community in. which he resides, is
a live wire, a leader, and would be
able to do more for his district at
Bismarck than half a dozen ordin-
ary representatives. He would be
man of which Burke county
might be proud, and for our own
good, for the good Of the county
and district, he should and will have
the unanimous support Of all vot-
ers who have the interests of the
district at heart. He has all the
necessary qualifications, is vote
getter, and will be high man when
the votes are counted.
