The Lanona Farmers Club met yes.
terday. Prof. James Of the State
Normal school gave a very instructive
talk on conservation of soil. He espec.
tally emphasized the need of supplying
the soil with humus, either in the form
of green manure, or barn yard fer
tilizers, so that the soil would have q
larger holding capacity for water, and
would not be so liable to blow. Ow-
ing to the inclemency Of the weather,
the attendance was light but the inter-
est was apparent. The club meets
again in two weeks, being the 18th Of
February. A good attendance Is then
desired, as there will be something
special provided.
The political pot is beginning to
simmer in rather a spiteful manner at
Bismarck. Several announcements
are already made public and others
are ready for launching. 1t is under
stood that State Superintendent Tay.
lor has not definitely decided to be a
candidate for reelection but it is
thought that he will be. In the event
that Miss Minnie J. Nelson Of Valley
City is not a candidate-and there
doesn's seem to be much probability
that she will consent to run-we don't
know of a better man or woman for the
place than our present superintendent
of public instruction.

POOR ADVICE COSTS AN EXTRA 20 DAYS
James Edwards Finds 1t Does Not Pay to Have Cell Mates
 as Lawyers

James Edwards. a gemman of col or, once had faith. in the wisdom of those with whom he passed the time in the private apartments of the county jail James figured he was cooped up with bunch well versed in the ways of the world and the ways of the law.
 James gained entrance to the iail by virtue of the fact that he swiped an overcoat from Ed Lockett. When he was arrested by Officer Murphy he described in detail the various steps of the operation which resulted in the appropriation of the coat He also explained to the former owner of the coat how the trick was turned
 Then James went to the county jail. He met many persons there who had been before a court before Some had done their bit when it was coming to them. Others said they escaped.
 The concensus of opinion in the
 jail was that James should face the judge, deny his former confessions and Dy the same token protest his innocence. It is not known whether James counsellors had considered the wisdom of an insanity or third | oegree defense. All that is known is that they advised him to fight the | case which he did. After it was all
 over, Justice Johnstone remarked as | follows
 The sentence for stealing this | coat would not have been so severe, because you admitted it at first. For l stealing the coat I'll give you ten
 days. For turning about and lying
 over this affair, after you had ad-
 mitted your guilt, you can have an
 extra twenty days
 1 Last night, in the county iail.
 James Edwards, now a 30-day guest
 was speaking words to the general
 effect that most of these well-versed persons behind the bars know as
 much about law as a Poland China | knows about the twenty third 1 Psalm.

MAKE PAWNING A BUSINESS

LONDON-A police court case has called attention to the existence in London of a vocation which is not known to exist anywhere else in the world. It is that of pawner, pro- fession given over entirely to women who, in the poorer districts of Lon don, undertake for a small compen- sation to carry the goods of their ne the pawnshops. Most of this work of pawning is done for women who are ashamed to be seen entering a but some of it is done for other women who are too busy to at tend to the formality.
 In certain districts these pawners
