GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE
TREES FOR SHELTER BELT

In accordance with an act of Con-
gress, dated August 10, 1912, which
provided for the establishment of the
this station will assist in cooperative
shelterbelt development, free of
charge, farmers in the Northern
Great Plains Area, comprising North
and South Dakota west of the Tooth
meridian, and Montana and Wyoming,
east of the $1,000 contour line. Trees
will be available for planting in the
spring of 1916, but applications for
these trees must be received prior to
April first, 1915.
The purpose of this cooperative
shelterbelt development is to encour-
age the growing Of windbreaks on the
prairies of the Northern portion of
the Great Plains.
A circular has been prepared which
states the conditions governing the
cooperation. In brief, the govern
ment will have the tract, which it is
desired to plant, examined by an in
spector who will prepare a planting
plan. A sufficient number Of hardy
suitable trees will be furnished the
applicant free of cost, except express
charges, to plant a shelterbelt of not
less than one-half acre. The appli-
cant must agree to prepare this land
according to instructions during the
year preceding planting and to proper
ly plant and take care of the trees,
giving them clean cultivation for two
years at least and preventing injury
by fire or live stock by means of fire
breaks and fences when necessary.
For the 1916 planting, preference
will be given to applicants from Sec
tions having five or more applicants.
The purpose of this ruling is to keep
down the expense Of inspection dur
ing the first year. Single applica-
tions that are received from isolated
districts which cannot be visited ecc-
nomically the first year will be filed
and filled from the following years
supply.
All farmers who are desirous of
cooperating in shelterbelt develop
ment should write to Mr.. w. A.
Peterson, Superintendent, Northern
Great Plains Field Station, Mandan
North Dakota, for tree planting cir
culars and application blanks.

CLASS GAMES SOON

Arrangements are complete for the
class series which will start the COM
ing week. The Grade Association has
been added this year to make the
fourth team, the Seniors not being
represented. Many are turning out
and fighting for places on the respec-
tive teams. Much interest is being
shown by the student body, and by
next Friday night spirit should run
high. The first series will be played
November goth. All the games will
be played in the high school gymna-
sium. In the first series the grade
team will meet the sophmore team
and the freshies will take on the jun
iors. The teams are evenly matched
and exciting contests are promised.
The championship was won last year
by the seniors, who defeated all
teams. This gives the teams this
year about an equal rating. In the
series last year the present sopho-
more team made remarkable show
ing. The juniors have some good ma
terial in their ranks and should give
a good account of themselves. The
freshmen team and the grade team
are unknown qualities as they did not
appear in the series last year: But
in all their appearances among them
selves, they have shown that they
thoroughly understand the game and
have lots of "pep."
A fine cup is hung up by the Ath-
letic Association and is held from
year to year by the winning team.
This adds much to the value of WIN
ming. Get out Friday night, pick your
team and boost them through. The
games will all be good and lively with
lots of excitement, so lend your sup
port.

CONTEST BEACH
.-> THREAT Of BUTTE

The Sentinel Butte Republican de-
clares that Beach did not get 140 ma
-jority fairly for permanent county
seat of Golden Valley. According to
the Republican 1868 votes were cast
at Beach where not more than 300
could have been legally cast at the
very outside. Many irregularities
are charged and steps have been
taken for an election contest.
Many of the counties west of the
river voted for the herd law, that is
to permit cattle to run at large dur
ing the winter months. In some
counties the measure was voted on
by districts, Stark being one district,
the majority vote gives the open sea-
son for the entire territory from No
vember LIST to April 1st as heretofore.
7 In Adams county the republicans
had an easy walk away for all Off
ces for which they sought. In each
case an overwhelming majority was
received. The following were elected

appeared more prominent than the
democrats. The county officials
elected were: Sheriff, Alex N. Nor

DICKINSON PUBLIC LIBRARY

The annual meeting of the North
Dakota Library Association was held
Friday and Saturday Of last week at
Wahpeton. A large number of the
librarians in the state attended as
we'll as few from Minnesota, and a
most profitable session was enjoyed.
The Dickinson Public Library was the
only library west of Bismarck which
was represented.
The following statistics have been
taken from the recently printed BIZ
ennial report of the North Dakota
Public Library Commission:
Popu- Bor- Circula- In
Pevs Lake stSg sss Ss s4tiS 5Sn
Jamestown 1883 2,S1O 1892 5,425.72
BnsH BakHsen CITY sSss 7sSS S sSSs $Ss9S5 saS5
These figures are for the two years,
July 1st, 1912 to July 1st, 1914.
It will be seen that the circula-
ton for the Dickinson Public Library
compares favorably with that Of
other libraries in the state, but the
proportion Of borrowers to the popu-
lation, except in the case of Devils
Lake, is much lower.
The large circulation of the Dick
inson library in comparison with the
other libraries mentioned, notwith-
standing it's lower total income, is
good evidence of the possibilities for
growth and broader scope Of useful
ness which the library would have
with larger appropriation.

PACKHAM THINKS HE HAS
CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT

Our venerable friend, III. c. Pack
ham, who is probably the only man
in thousand miles who can write a
report of sermon in such a way as
to interest sinner, and has there
fore been unanimously elected relig-
awhile Monday evening that his
principles would allow him to cuss
with the force and fiuency often dis
played by his colleagues.
laureate sermon, and, as usual, did
it we'll. Mr.. Packham is an extra
ordinarily Iegible and grammatical
writer, as well as an interesting one.
He is one of the old-fashioned men
who were carefully trained in the
use of the pen. Consequently, when
he carefully wrote the name of the
anthem, 1.-THE Heavens are Telling"
and the linotype operator changed it
to 1.-The Heavens are Falling" he
felt like a good-sized chunk of the
aforesaid heavens had fallen on him.
We sympathize with Mr. Packham.
When, at oftimes. half-asleep, half
sick or (the operator adds half
shot, we write illegible nothings, the
linotype man straightens them out
till they bear shadowy resemblance
|, to great and accurate expressions.
When we are feeling Well and care
fully pound out some classic express
sion on our typewriter, the operator
thinks of something else and sets it
up, and it generally goes into the
paper that way.
We might think he did it out of
perversity, but having had some ex-
perience running a linotype, we often
wonder how in the deuce a man ever
sets anything but pi lines on it, for
he has to look after a typewriter, a
machine shop, an electric plant, a
gas factory and a few other things
as we'll as read copy and set type.
Let Mr.. Packham be consoled. 1t
will all be the same a hundred years
hence, and when he really makes a
mistake he can blame it on the limo
type man, like all the rest of us great
authors do.

The Key West spongers are be-
coming some fierce. A bunch of
them attacked the Tarpon Springs
sponging schooner, Edna Louise, as
she lay at anchor off one of the
Marquesas Keys, twenty-five miles
west of Key West Saturday, forced
her crew of fifteen men to take to
their boats, and set the schooner on
fire. This lawless act is the result
of the hatred the Key West spong-
ers feel for the Greeks of Tarpon
Springs, who by their enterprise and
industry are obtaining a monopoly
of the sponge business. Burning the
Edna Louise was piracy, and the
men responsible for il will have to
answer to the federal government.

WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION

According to the Nat Bryan law,
candidate must not print any ex-
ira severe statement against any
other candidate between now and
the primary. He may say what he
blooming pleases on the stump, how
ever, subject to the same old law of
having his head punched unless he
is bigger than his opponent.-Ocala
Star.
Our contemporary, should be more
careful with the truth in discussing
important subjects. There is not a
line in the Bryan primary law in
reference to this matter. The pro-
vision to which the Star refers is in
the Trammell corrupt practices act.
Pensacola Journal.
The Star has already discovered
and corrected its mistake, but isn't
the Journal somewhat lacking in it's
usual courtesy? 1t is not the Stars
custom to insinuate that a contem-
porary is lying when it is in error
and if Editor Mays had read the
Star carefully he would have MOTTO
ed it has been a staunch defender
of both the Bryan primary law and
the Trammell law. The two go SO
much together that almost anyone
is liable to consider them one and
the same, and the Stars error
was caused by reading an article in a
state paper that had just made that
identical mistake We didn't notice
the Journal calling the original Of
fender to book, possibly because it
is, with the Journal, one of Mr..
