THE winter was mild and there is
no apparent injury to plants from
cold weather" the report says. the
INJURIES noticeable were caused Dy
drought last summer and by high
temp sratures late in the fall, which
caused premature swelling OF the
fruit buds in some localities and
made them less able to endure winter
conditions. The drought last summer
raduced the number OF strawberry
plants and made less strong the
growth of raspberry canes. me aver

Extent.

Iowa will have fruit crop sc per

bulletin for 1914, issued by Wesley
Greene, secretary Of the Iowa Horti-
cultural society, which will be ssnt

berries, damaged by the drought OF
last summer, are the important fac
tors in causing the percentage to drop
below 80.
However, SO per cent indicates
bumper crop, and if the conditions

Iowa will have record-breaking

North Dakota is rapidly growing in !

North Dakota is rapidly growing in
to mixed farming, more butter and
eggs, hogs and cattle, and at the
present time there is great agitation
going on over the building of cream
cries. We advise the small towns that
are agitating the local creamery pro-
position to go a little slow. It would
be much better to wait awhile before
building a creamery, than to make a
failure of it. It has been plainly de-
monstrated in the past that local
creamery in any small community has
been 4 dismal failure, and hardly one
in a dozen creameries that has been
started has been a success. We do
not want it understood that we are
discouraging dairying in this state,
but we believe the proper method at
this time is a central creamery, in
some good sized town, and cream sta
tions in the smaller towns, so the far
mers can deliver their cream locally
and have it shipped into the cream
cry. As an honest fact today Ramsey
county should have but one ceamery,
as one is sufficient at the present time
to take care Of all the cream produced
in this county. Devils Lake has a
good creamery, and the management
are working hard to make it a sue
cess, and it will be a success If the
farmers of the county patronize it,
and a business will be built up that
will be 4 great boon to the dairy
business here. Practically every
small village in this county has start
ed a creamery some time or another,
and sill have been closed for lack Of
patronage. At the present prices OF
dairy butter there is no question but
farmers can get more out of their
cream by selling either to the local
creamery or shipping to some other
creamery, but Is to establishing too
many creameries we believe that it
is wise to go a little slow.

kota, and the consequences have been
that people who were looking for
homes have generally gone to the
places where they were allowed to
travel at a cheap rate. It goes with
out saying that cheap railroad rates
was the leading factor in settling up
western Canada. Many years ago the
great rush Of settlers to this state was
caused by the railroads granting a
very cheap fare, but in recent years,
after they thought that they had
started the people this way sufficient.
ly to build up North Dakota, they
withdrew the low rates, and made
them to other places, and the result
has been for many years thst this
state was not getting the emigration
we were entitled to. We predict that
there will be the greatest emmigra-
tom to this state this spring and
summer than there has been for years
and every citizen Of North Dakota,
who is interested in the welfare Of
the state, should see to it that he does
his PART when these people come here.

one line Of work have made valuable
employees in some other line.
One industrial concern believed it
worth while to investigate this theory
and asked every man who left its
shops or who was recommended for
dismissal to say why he was resigning,
or why he was not doing better work,
and whether there was work there he
would like to do and felt that he could
do well. A majority of the replies
indicated that dissatisfaction of un-
satisfactory service, was due to a mis-
placement of men rather than to
shiftlessness or actual ineffciency.-

To find the right man for the job
is an old and ever-pressing problem
in spite of parades and mass meetings

DAUGHTER OF THOMAS
LAWSON LOSES GEMS
Property, According to Second
Advertisement in Boston Pa
per, is Valued at Million
Dollars.

BOSTON, Jan. 81. - Last Tuesday
Francis Burke, a prominent attorney,
inserted an advertisement in the Bos-
ton papers offering a reward of $4,000
and no questions asked for the return
of a number of jewels said TO be
worth $4,000. All questions con-
corning the owner of the jewels were
met by a refusal by the lawyer.
Thursday a long advertisement
containing a much longer list of gems
and saying that the owner knew who
had them. was sent 10 the Boston
papers. Inside of the COPY was
$50 bill. The advertisement offered
reward of $4,000 for the return of
the jewels and was signed Hoag. The
list of jewels given in the second adj
vertisement was estimated at $1,000
0OO.
1t developed Friday that the gems
were the property of Mrs. James +.
Lord of Boston, Scituate and Chicago.
formerly Marion Lawson, daughter
of Thomas w. Lawson.
Mystery still surrounds the disap-
pearance of the gems but the fact
that Mr.. Burke has stated in his ad-
vertisement that mo questions Ntl
be asked and that the police h.
no inspector working on tie case
strengthens the report that those
most interested are reasonably sure
who has the missing property.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lord came east few
days ago from Chicago and are now
IL their home in Scituate. 1t Is init
mated by friends of the Lawsons that
the jewels were taken from a safe de-
post box by some one who had
authority TO open it and that Lawsons
knows who has them. Mrs Lords
collection is a famous one and it is
said has been lost before.
