falfa on the LaMoure Agricultural
School grounds was cut. The halt
acre produced q ton and q quarter,
and was sold to JEFF Townsend for
SIG. It IL probable that two more
cuttings will be made. In case the
total yield is three tons, which is
quite probable. that one.half acre OF
ground will have produced $48, or at
the rate of $50 per acre. A good .ex-
ample of the possibility OF revenue
from alfalfa.-LaMoure Echo.

Williston Graphic: There IL con.
siderable talk right now about the
possibilities for IN armory for Willis
ton and the citizens are realizing
the need Of one more and more every
day. At present we haven't q large
hall in the city. At least, We haven't
one large enough to take care Of con
ventions and large gatherings Of any
kind. With q large hall many con-
ventions would be secured for the
city which pass us up now. We could
also secure many excellent attrac-
lions In the way Of plays which ut
present would not come here owing
to lack Of proper room and staging.
The new armory would contain ev-
erything needed in this line "A meet.
