The Gelria carried a number of Ger

large an English official said it was
estimated to be sufficient to supply the
population Of all Holland for six

the Netherlands government assumed
responsibility for the cargo and
guaranteed none of it would go to
enemies of the allies.
The Ryndam and several other Dutch
ships which have ben escorted into

Plymouth has also been a much busi-

North Dakota Changes

Grand Forks, July 14.-North
Dakota has seen wonderful
changes inA1er few brief years
of statehood. Forty years ago,
it was hardly believed that
this state would support a set
tied population. A few ad-
venturers had cone to the state
and stayed through a summe
or two but even they had no
idea of making in this section
a permanent home. Today,
this is all changed; the farm
er now looks upon his North
Dakota land as the permanent
home of his family for genera.
tions to come, and he knows
that with proper treatment,
there is no better land on earth
for general farming purposes
than that included within the
borders of this great state.
The changes in the farmers
beliefs and confidence in North
Dakota is reflected in his crop
production. No land can
permanently reach it's highest
usefulness with one crop, diver
sification of products must
come in any country. In the,
older sections crop changes
have been forced upon the land
owners by grim necessity. To-
day in North Dakota the pro-
gressive farmers have profited
by the experience of their fell
lows and are changing to di-
versified crops before they are
forced to change. Hundreds
of thousands of acres of corn
and clover and alfalfa have
been planted in North Dakota
this season, cattle and hogs are
being brought to the farms in
this state in rapidly increasing
The silo is coming
to'be the trade mark of the
progressive farmer and it's
round shape dots the rich
prairie in every part of the
state. Dairying, hog a n d
chicken raising and the pro-
duction of beef cattle Is coming
to the front rapidly and the
day is not far distant when
North Dakota will feed, not
alone herself but an ever in
creasing number Of the inhabi-
tants of older and less FORUM
ate states.
In dairying, in cattle and
hog feeding, the raising of
chickens, alfalfa and the silo
play a most important part.
Two or three years ago the
alfalfa plant was curiosity
in North Dakota. Today that
crop is on firmly established
basis and is rapidly increas-
ing. Grand Forks county.
Bottineau county and Stuts-
man county each have in the

TWO SUICIDE
NEAR ANTLER
Aged Lady and Crippled Man Take
Own Lie Rather Than be a
Burden 10 Others

The Antler American con
tained the sad intelligence or
two deaths by suicide in that
vicinity last week. The parti-
culars in part as taken from
the American follows:
Mrs. Hoffman, mother of
Chas. Hoffman of Hoffman
township, committed suicide
by strangling herself with some
strips of sheet which she had
fastened to coat and hat hook
on the wall and then placing
the loop about her neck had
lain down on the floor. She
was found by Mrs. II. J. Mills,
sister of Mrs. Chas. Hoffman,
who came over to spend the
afternoon, but not finding any
one at home walked into the
house and found the aged lady
with her head almost touching
the floor. Mrs. Chas. Hoffman
was away that afternoon and
the men were working on the
roads, SO no one knows how
long the old lady, who was in
her eightyseCond year, worked
to accomplish her rash act or
how long she had been dead
when found. 1t is thought that
her inability to help herself,
and the thought that she was a
burden to others prompted her
to commit the deed. Funeral
services were held from the
Haase NJ. E. church and inter
rnent was made in the Genet
cry there.
The body of David Irwin was
found by his brother Robert,
with whom he had been max
ing his home. The top of his
head was completely torn off
and a gauge shot gun with
which he had accomplished the
deed was held tightly in his
left hand. David had been in
the habit of preparing the
meals for his brother. who is a
bachelor, and when Robert
came in from the field for din
ner he could not find him either
at the house or barn, but on a
table was the following note:
i have 1920 in the Cherokee
State bank, Wisconsin, and two
checks at the institution that
| didn't collect or cash. Life
isn't worth livin. without feet
SO goodbye. ] am going where
they went. Forgive me and
ask God to forgive me. Good
bye. david.
The unfortunate man had
lost both his feet in an accident
two years ago and it was only
with the aid of a crutch and
chair that he was able to get
around at all. He had taken
the gun from it's hook on the
wall and with his chair and
crutch had managed to get
about 20 rods from, the house.
Here he placed the muzzle of
the gun to his head and with
the aid of wire fastened to
the end of his crutch managed
to pull the trigger. The top of
his head was torn completely
off and his brains scattered in
all directions.
