STULTS FARM

Those who wish to see a good farm
should drive to the P. F. Stults
place five miles northeast of Dickin-
son. The owner, who came to Stark
county 80 years ago from New Jer-
sey, has only been on the present
place 10 years. In the meantime he
has built up good farm and sur
rounded himself with many farm
luxuries, such as apple trees, plum,
gooseberry and all kinds Of fruits.
Shade trees were planted early and
now afford good protection for the
buildings. Some as fine evergreen
trees as can be found anywhere, are
growing at the Stults farm. Buck
thorn hedge rows also radorn the
place.
Mr.. Stults owns section of land
and leases a half section, making 900
acres that he has for cultivation and
pasturage. His barn has a hay loft
for so tons filled mostly with tim
othy and alfalfa. These gras-
ses are found to be well adapted to
the soil. He also puts up prairie
hay in stack, making in all 100 tons
of hay to say nothing of the corn
stalks and straw piles and the usual
good winter grazing in the locality.
According to this man, 20 bushels
Of wheat to the acre is about an aver
age yield one year with another. He
had 200 acres in crops this year but
some of the crops were grown on
shares. The potatoes yielded nearly
300 bushels to the acre. He has but
an acre this year but prepared the
land in fine shape, as he does his
wheat and corn ground.
One of the fine things that Mr..
Stults did this year was to plant a
little over an acre of trees northwest
of his house. Nearly every tree lived
and he will soon have a large grove
as an additional shelter belt for the
buildings and yards.
A well is being sunk by Tillquist
& Kitchen and it was expected that
a never failing supply of good water
would be found at depth of. $50 feet,
and it is Mr.. Stults' plan to use the
overflow for duck pond in the yard.
The water will also be piped to the
house and barns.
Hereford cattle and Clydsdale
nOrSeS are OelnG TdlSeu aL CNlS place
and it is expected that a carload of
beef cattle will be ready for market
another year. The calves are fed
during the winter, or as soon as they
are weaned, keeping them in fine
growing condition.
Eventually Mr.. Stults will erect a
modern farm house. He has grounds
laid out and shade trees set for the
new home. His large stone galvan-
lied iron rooted barn was erected two
years ago. =" 5@

THE JAY CALDWELL
INVESTIGATION |

There has been much speculation in
some quarters as to what was pub
ished at the time of the county in
vestigation regarding the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of Jay A. Cald-
we'll some years ago.
Here is local item which ap-
peared in the PRESS on February /,
1908, and SO far as can be found now
this is every line that was published
at the time by any paper in the
county:
States Attorney M. L. Mcbride
and Sheriff T. N. Hartung were called
into the, country southeast Of Glad
stone the first of the week and made
an investigation in regard to the al
legged murder of Jay Caldwell, who
mysteriously disappeared several
months ago. Stories of wild nature
appear to have been circulated, and
it was reported that the body Of the
son had been discovered in the barn
at the Caldwell home. The states
attorney and sheriff searched the
premises and made thorough inves-
tigation of the neighborhood. They
returned home feeling satisfied that
young Caldwell had simply skipped
the country, land that there is no foun-
dation for the greater part of the
stories that have been circulated.

little pieces of type which are liable
to be knocked down any minute, caus-
ing endless delays and nervous shocks
to the printer the line-slugs are
handled like so much cold metal and
no danger Of being "pied," or so mis-
placed that they cannot be used.
To many people the name Limo
type" is more familiar than "Inter-
type" when speaking of typesetting
machines, for the former has been
considered the standard machine for
many years. But the Intertype is a
newer, machine with, at least sixty
five improvements over the Linotype.
It will do larger range Of work with
less expense and labor than any ma.
chine ever before devised. And, Of
still greater Importance, it is being
sold at a price within reach Of the
country newspaper, the present price
being a little less than $500, or
81 1000 less than it's nearest competi-
tor, a No. 5 Linotype, formerly sold
70. ~ 49,, "A i,.
The Mergenthaler company, manu-
facturers Of the Linotypes, had a
monopoly for many years and threat
ened infringement suits when Herman
Ridder, the wealthy German publish
er, brought out the Intertype. The
old company soon found out that
President Ridder could not be bought
or frightened. AS result of the
new Intertype machine, the Linotype
people have ceased to put out their
"Junior" and later their "No. 10,"
which was said to be "95 per cent
standard" but which in reality was
rebuilt machine with but narrow
range for work. The old company is
now very busy trying to sell their
No. 5 Linotype, and a very good ma
chine, at the price asked for the In
tertype, a better machine.
Hence, the Dickinson PRESS man
agenent feels that it did well in
waiting few years before getting a
slug machine.
For years the Mergenthaler mo-
nopoly was considered about the
worst in the United States, and it was
almost prohibitive for the average
country office to buy slug machine.
Those who stuck to the case or used
a machine Of 5Unitype style are much
the best satisfied today 55 #s55 s5

stalled an Intertype machine which is

ond newspaper office in North Da-
kota to install an Intertype typeset-.
ting machine in it's office. The new
machine has. now been in use in this
Office every week 4 for six months
and is giving perfect satisfaction. It
has never been necessary to call in
the services of an expert and up to
this time the company's inspector has
never visited the PRESS Office. i
81 Our foreman, George E. Ryder
has taken care Of the Intertype in
this office and Miss Goldie Homer is
the operator. She has been getting
speed gradually and is now able to
set, when good copy is furnished, q
newspaper column of type in an hour.
There are already 500 Intertypes
on the market in competition with
the Mergenthaler linotype, which it
resembles in general appearance.
With the expiration Of the Mergen-
thaler patents the International
Typesetting Machine company, with
Herman Ridder, a New York multi
millionaire publisher, at it's head, was
launched about two years ago and
entered the field, which had up to
that time been held exclusively by
the Mergenthaler company for over
twenty years. n Fay;SI RI, 4 3ttG !4j M IS
"A million dollars was spent by this
company before a machine was turned
out Of the factory, but the result Of
this vast expenditure has been a mod

! .'S''Tl'OCKMAN killed
SOUTH HEART

ia sad accident happened near
South Heart Sunday night at about
$50, when; Bernard Eberts met his
death by. falling from the top Of a.
moving stock train. just how the
accident happened will never be
known. III 5 .: 81
The young man who lost his life
was "a years Of age. and had been
married about six months. q N
The Eberts own large tracts of
land near Livingston, Montana,
where they have large bands Of
sheep. Bernard Eberts, an older
brother, Oliver, and cousin,
William, were accompanying this,
their second shipment, to the market
at Chicago. AS the train had had
several severe jolts during the latter
part of the afternoon, it is stated
that Bernard and William, at stop
this side Of sBelfe1d, went out along
the train to see how the sheep were
riding. They had not seen all Of
their 40 cars when the train started
up and they Immediately climbed on
the top and thought they would ride
there until they came to Dickinson.
When they neared South Heart a
special freight was found on the sid
ing. Bernard decided to go back to
the caboose then as, it was getting
quite dark and he would have the ad-
vantage of the headlight from the
train on the siding in getting back.
He had scarcely started before they
passed the engine Of the waiting
train and were in total darkness. It
is thought that he became blinded by
the sudden change and that he made
a miss step. 3l VI. j. &. ,s..a
When the train reached the Dick
inson yards, William went back, not
knowing that Bernard had fallen.
Upon reaching the coach, which was
ahead Of the caboose and in which the
stockmen were riding, he asked the
brother, Oliver, where Bernard was.
Oliver replied that he thought he was
at the head end of the coach and the
two went to look for him. Not find
ling him there William thought he
must have fallen off. After looking
lover the train they came down to the
N. p. office and notified the officials.
lA special train left shortly after
for South Heart. s The body was
found some four or FIVE hundred
yards east Of the station, lying near
the track. It had been dragged for
some little distance,5 as pieces of his
clothing, knife, watch and money
were found along the track. The
tbody had not been run over by the
train. The upper portion Of the body
Twas not badly bruised, but the legs
were broken in many places. The
body was prepared and sent to Liv-
ingston on Monday. f.5z
"a coroner's jury was called Monday
morning. The jury was made up Of
Frank Roquette, Maxwell Burnett
and D. w. Freison. The decision Of
the jury was that Bernard Eberts
came to his death by accidentally fall
| ling from Northern Pacific stock
train near South, Heart, North Da-
kota, at. about $50 p. M, Sunday

FINDS HER CHILD
AFTER II YEARS
Mother Recognizes Daughter, Al
though They Parted When Girl
Was Baby-Dramatlc Moment
at Reunion.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 1s.-An ll-year-
search by Mrs. Virginia Gibbs, West
Frankfort ILL.,, for her i2-yeaT-old dauEh-
ter, Gertrude Bettras, who, she says. was
given secretly TO a family in Texas, ended
at Union Station when the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas train from the Southwest
brought the child TO her mother,
Although the mother had not seen her
daughter since she was baby, she
recognized her instantly and gathered
her up in her arms. The girl did not
know she had mother, She said she had
bssn told she was Is years old, and that
her mother was dead.
Mrs Gibbs was separated from her
daughter and her two sons when they
were living at Norveau, Ala. eleven years
ago. Leslie Bettras. her hrst husband,
was killed at that time in a mine scci-
dent He was mine inspector. The
mother placed her two sons and her
daughter in an institution and went 10
live with some relatives at Evergreen.
Ala She returned in a year for her
children, as she had provided a home for
them in the meantime She says she
was tOlq llle CHuuIeA hau All DtEH blFell
away. but was refused permission to see
the records.
She then began a nationwide search for
her child. Without money she could do
little, but she Travelled from city 10 city,
working in one place and another to get
money to travel somewhere else In quest
Of her child. -Four years later she met
William Gibbs at Springfield, ILL.,, and
married him. She made him promise be-
fore marrying him that he would help her
10 the utmost to find her children.

information to the house they represented
and other travelling men from the house
would be asked 10 search for the children.
Their efforts were in vain.
\ year ago Mrs. Gibbs went to Norveau
and there found her two sons attending
high school. They had been legally
adopted by persons living there under tho
suppOsition that their mother was dead.
They had been In NOrveau all the time,
but on the earlier visits Of Mrs. Gibbs the
children were small and kept at home, so
she did not see them or learn of them.
Through the heads of the families who
had adopted her sons she gained access
to the records of the chlldren's institu-
tlOn, she says.
She said the records showed she was
dead and that her daughter had been
adopted by a Baptist minister, the Rev.
w. 4. Parker, of Mount Enterprise, Tex
Alr. Parker was dead and the girl had
been given home in several other fami-
lies and finally had disappeared from
Mount Enterprise. Mr.. Parker's son,
William, was touched by Mrs. Gibbs
story of her long search and helped her
in the search lie finally found the girl
Texas.
He wrote to Mrs. Gibbs. Mrs. Gibbs
received the letter at West Frankfort last
saturday. She wired ticket 10 Hanover
for her daughter to come TO Union Sta
tion. York took her TO the station and
put her on n train. telling her some good

.F COURSE you have all heard
y about green apples; about the
trouble they make and that they

Nf OOOKSE you have all heard
~ about green apples; about the
trouble they make and that they
are fit for nothing but piel
Now, as a matter of fact, green APP
pies arc good for many things besides
pie and one of the very best of those
many things is dolls.
Dolls of apples such foolish idea,
did you say?' Not foolish at all, but
lots of fun, as you will see when you
know all about it.
The first thing to do in order tt.
have some handsome green apple
dolls is to collect your apples.
II you have an apple tree in your
yard that is easy. Or, if you happen
to know of an apple tree near your
home you can beg for some OF the
"windfall apples make the very
best dolls, but are not good for much
else. II you can't get any apples
yourself perhaps your mother will let
YOU have some Of the very little ones
from among those she buys at the
grocery. Tell her she can have them
back after you have played with them,
and she won't mind bit.
Now wash your apples clean and
rub them till they shine.
Next collect some straight sticks
some two. some three and some four
inches long. Then some leaves--and
YOU are ready for work.
Sort out your apples into two lots
/ the lituest are the dolls heads, the
| bigger ones make the bodies. Pair
them off the way they fit together best
the littlest heads with the littlcst
bodies. then the biggest heads with
the big fat bodies.
Fasten the heads into the bodies by
thrusting a. two-inch stick into the
"body"-apple and then pressing the
''head" apple down into the stick.
Choose which side of the apple is to
be the front and mark jolly looking
face on the round head--eyes, nose
and smily mouth.
Now stick a pair OF the three-inch
sticks in for arms and a pair of the
