An Important Question.

Did it ever occur to you that the
most important question to you is
how much every farmer raises and how
many acres Of land he cultivates? If a
farmer turns off only one beef steer
instead Of twenty, your meat bill is go
ing to be high, yes, higher When the
farmer cultivates only 40 acres instead
of so, the consumer of food stuffs is
the loser.
What is this to the average citizen,
you ask ? The farmer expands his use
fulness in proportion as the small as
well as the large investor comes to his
aid with the cash to fertilize and Guilt
vate, through the purchase of mort
cages, which not only builds our rail-
roads, factories, telegraph and tele-
phone lines, but is today the greatest
force in providing the farmer with the
necessary cash with which to improve
his farming methods, increase his acre
age and turn off more cattle and pro-
duce. thus giving the people more and
better food at lower prices.
The mortgage supplies the progress
siye man with the means, and in turn
furnishes the investor with the very
best security as well as splendid re-
turn in interest.
There is no security on earth like the
earth itself.

COMMISSIONERS
RESIGN OFFICES
Recently Acquitted Officers
Give up Positions in
Dunn County.

Manning, N. D., July 2s.-At the
conclusion of the meeting Of the board
Of county commissioners, Paul liner
of the Third district and w. P. Beat
ty Of the Second district, rendered
their designations. 1t was generally
reported that all Of the members of
the board expected to resign and
Chairman Pletan handed in his resig-
nation prior to the meeting and the
other members followed with their
designations at the close OF the meet
ing. T. j.. Anders was made a mem
Der by the appointing board to fill
the vacancy in the First district, but
as yet no meeting of the appointing
board has been held to fill the vacan-
cies In the other districts nor have
the designations been acted upon in
any way.
1t will be remembered that custer
proceedings were instituted against
Pletan, Beatty inc liner as members
OF the county board which resulted
in a verdict Of not guilty in district
court. and within the past week petit
tons nave been circulated in various
parts of the county calling for a
grand jury to investigate the affairs
OF h county in general. In view of
the fact hat the members Of the
board had already passed through
some expensive litigation an agree
ment was made to resign from their
positions. and this was carried out,
although it Is rumored that one of
the designations may be withdrawn.

WORKMAN
ROBBERY VICTIM
Attacked by Negroes in rear
of Diamond Mill and
Rolled for 81.

Two colored yeggmen separated a
Polish laborer, name unknown, from
his entire roll amounting to 81 in the
rear of the Diamond mill or Walnut
street at 6 o'clock Monday evening.
The Pole was, it appears, looking
for work, and On meeting the two
dinges asked to be directed to an en-
ployment bureau. They volunteered
to conduct him to one. but instead
led him to a secluded spot in the rear
of the mill.
On their arrival at that point the
two negroes attacked their victim. go
ing through his pockets and robbing
him of all the none he possessed.
They then ordered him to proceed
straight ahead, while they proceeded
to take it on the lam" in the oppo-
site direction.
The Pole reported the case to the
police, but owing to his imperfect
knowledge of the English language
the officers failed to learn his name.

NANDAN BOY Met
DEATH IN STREAM
Lad Drowned While Swim
m~ing-Brother Attempts
to Rescue Him.

Mandan, N. D., July 28.-Joe Heck
err, the s-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs
George Hecker of Mandan was drown
ed in the Heart rfver. His younger
brother, John, aged Z years, nearly
lost his W life in a brave attempt
to rescue Joe. Men working in the
vicinity heard the cries Of others on
the bank, and got both boys out of the
water at once, but too late to save
Joe's life.
Joe and John were with a group
of about a dozen boys who were
swimming in the river. The water is
deep in places and Joe who could not
swim waded out too far. His little
brother went after him, and in a mo-
ment was struggling with him in the
deep water.
The boys in the water and on the
ban kcalled for help, and men who
were near heard them, and rushed
at once t other assistance. They
pulled the boys from the water, and
a doctor was Immediately SEN for,
but, though every effort was made
to resuscitate Joe, he could not be
revived. John finally recovered con-
seriousness, and will probably suffer
no i'll effects from the experience.

1915 MODELS OF
BUCKS At FAIR
Numerous Improvements
Made-4O,O 900 Cars will be
Manufactured in Year.

The 1915 Bucks are here-all
dressed up and ready for inspection.
This is the earliest in the season that
the new Bucks have V been
brought out, and they come very
timely because of the entire allotment
of cars of the 1914 styles for the Sims
Automobile company has bee sold.
The new models are on exhibition
at the Grand Forks fair this week.
The real bit of news about the 1915
Bucks lies in the fac that the prices
on all the models ave been reduced.
and at the same time very noticeable
improvements AVE beer made. The
six" too, has been greatly improved.
and this ear is n seven passenger car
instead of a five.
The Buick factory's output last year
was $4,000. Forty thousand cars
are to be made this coming year. The
manager of the Buick plant states
that this extra 1000 ears will be made
at a comparatively small extra cost so
that the average per car of the entire
output will be considerabl y reduced.
Following closely tho line of their
predecessors, each model this year has
been subjected to many important re-
finements-remodelling the lines here
and there. increasing the ease of oper-
alton and including every accepted
motor refinement of the season that
makes for increased efficiency, beau
ty, de~pendability and comfort.
On all the 1915 models there will he
no sidelights. but the searchlights are
equipped with DINNERS. All wiring is
enclosed in a flexible conduit and an
improved electric horn is mounted un-
der the hood. All the pistons are
slightly longer this year. and the rear
springs have beer increased in length.
There is an automatic spark adjust
ment n Tungsten steel valves in all
the models. There is also a vacuum
gasoline supply which is also quite an
important feature this year. This does
away with both the hand and motor
pumps. There is an automatic ar
r~angement for engaging gear so that
there is absolutely no chance for strip
ping. There is a longer hood. which
gives more grace to the line. The radi-
ator is all one piece with noble press
steel front. Every model is roomier
in the body and there are many other,
details that mean added Improvement
for the 1915 Buick.
The following is a statement from
Fl. W. Sims regarding the new cars:
I'VE. of course. are very much
pleased with the splendid showing Of
the new models. They are even bet
ter than we nae anticipated and we
are sure hat the popularity of the
Buick is going to he greater than ever.
We have placed an order for 800 more
cars than We llad last year. The re-
duction in price will, very naturally,
help the sales department. and the
outlook in the northwest is certainly.
Tor a very prosperous year.

DR.. HEWITT SAVES
LIVES OF women
Shows Presence of Mind in
Stopping a Runaway
Horse Sunday Night.

Presence of mind on the part of DR..
William Hewitt of this city probably
saved the lives of two women who
were in imminent danger of being run
yer by a maddened horse Sunday
evening.
The animal had turned up Belmont
avenue from Third street, and was
running on the sidewalk. The two
women were walking in the same di-
rection, and were directly in the
horses path.
A large number of buggies were
drawn up along the edge OF the walk
on the street side, preventing escape
in that direction, while the blank wall
of a livery barn on the other side cut
off all means of leaving the walk.
: Dr.. Hewitt, who vas between the
women and the horse, proceeding in
the opposite direction perceived the
danger the women were in. swiftly
removing his coat he stepped behind
an adjacent telephone pole.
AS the maddened animal came
abreast of him. DR.. Hewitt leaped
from his shelter and tapped his coat
in the horses face. The animal
swerved to confront this new adVer-
sary, and crashed head first into the
telephone pole and was knocked
senseless.
The two women, whose names could
not be learned, were badly frightened,
but we're unhurt. DIR. Hewitt was not
injured.
