1896 Ford Cars Man
ufactured in January.

January is not supposed to show the high water mark of
production in the automobile world, but nevertheless the first
month of 1914 shows the largest output Of any month in the en-
tire history Of the Ford Motor company. During the month of
January this year, the Ford Motor company built and shipped
1886 cars. The largest months output previous to this was
June 1918, when the number of cars made and shipped reached
the total of 22O49.
Those figures show how the Ford business is growing even
beyond the extraordinary proportion it reached last season. To
achieve such production figures every department and every exc
cutive, IN a sense, had to grow too. The Ford plant is constantly
adding new machines and devices, constantly testing new ss-
TENS and methods to diminish the labor, speed up the operations,
to same time, energy and the like. In this way only can pro-
ductioa keep pace with business. These time and labor saving
systems (and some remarkably interesting ones have recently
been adopted form some of the most fascinating features for
visitors to inspect.

BALL OF FIRE
TIGHTENING FRIDAY STRUCK
TELEPHONE LINE-HOLLAR
WAS IN STORM

w. O. Hollar was out in the thunder
storm last Friday and saw the heavy
bolt of Tightening which struck the
telephone poles and wires. He said as
he was riding along he suddenly saw
what looked like ball of fire about;
the size of mans head shoot past
and turned just in time to see it;
strike the telephone poles. When it
struck there was puff of smoke. Mr..
Hollar went over the next day to see
what damage had been done and found
that two poles had been shattered and
that the wire had been burnt. Mr..
Hollar found number of small pieces:
of wire lying on the ground, and found
that the grass had been burnt around
the poles.

MILITIA SAME
AS REGULARS
NEW ARMY BILL PUTS MILITIA
ON FOOTING ALMOST EQUAL
TO REGULAR ARMY

Washington, April 24.-The senate,
without debate, passed the volunteer
amy bill as agreed by conference
of the house and senate.
The bill is designated to cure de-
fects in the existing law relating to
volunteer forces and is relied upon to
put these forces upon wartime foot
ting almost similar to the regular
army. Except for the fact that the
volunteer army may be disbanded i'm
mediately by presidential action at
the close of hostilities, there will be
little difference between it and the
regular standing army.

NORTH DAKOTANS
VISIT WISCONSIN
TRAVEL TOWISCONSINTOSTUDY
ADVANCES IN DAIRYING-
PREPARING FOR CHANGES

The following excellent article on
the visit of our farmers to Wisconsin.
last winter appeared in the Wiscon-
sin Farmer of March 18th and was
written by D. E. Mowry:
The man in the great Northwest
who will go down in history as the
most far-sighted of pioneers is James
J. Hill. He is building for the future.
He is planning for tomorrow, and the
tomorrows of after years, by COOP
Grating with the farmers along the
lines of the Great Northern Railway.
This is the Hill philosophy; II you,
expect to make your road bigger
and better road you must have great
er tonnage. How can you have great
er tonnage? Show the farmers how
to raise more crops-show them how
to increase their incomes-show them
everything that they ought to know.
based upon the experience of other
states-in a word cooperate with
them. The farmers of the Northwest
are men, honest men, and James j.
Hill, through his agricultural agents..
explains exactly why he is spending
good money, and lots Of it, too, to help
the farmers become better farmers.
He wants greater tonnage. He does
not expect it today, possibly not to-
morrow, but he expects it, knows he
will ultimately get it If the new farm
ers of this new county can be shown
how to make more money for them
selves. What helps one, helps all, and
the Great Northern is simply maxi
ing an investment for the future
What is more, these farmers in the
Hill territory are with him to a man.,
They know he means what he says.
They do not expect something for
nothing and they know the Hill road
will be the gamer in the long run
and that they or their children will be-
benefited in the same degree.
Fifty or more North Dakota farm
ers from Williston and the country
surrounding that thriving town, in
cluding some of the prominent bank
ers of the section, therefore, came to-
Wisconsin last week to learn the
cause of Wisconsin's prominence in
the dairy world and to secure, if pos
sible, the formula which Badger state:
dairymen have followed in building
up their prosperity. AS one of the
farmers put it at banquet given for
the delegation by the Madison Board
Of Commerce, 1--WE want to be pre-
pared to- make the change from T.
strictly grain growing state and live
stock state before we are forced or
starved to it, as they say you here

HEAVY FALL OF
SNOW THIS WEEK
COVERS ENTIRE NORTHWEST
POSSIBLY MEANS THOUSANDS
FOR FARMERS NEXT FALL

Snow fell Monday night and Tues
day the fall was heavy almost the en-
tire day. Wires east Of here were
down and any news of the eastern
country or the Mexican situation had
to come by way of Great Falls and
Havre, and there was very little OF
this until late Tuesday. A great deal
of seeding has been done and the
heavy fall of snow will be just as good
or better than rain. In any event it
is moisture and moisture is what we
want.
From reports the storm covered the
entire northwest and in places there
was fall of six inches and over. At
this time we believe this is even bet
ter than rain as the snow will grad
ually melt and every bit of moisture
will soak in where it fell.

EXPLOSION
IMPRISONED 1877
s1YTY SEVEN WERE TAKEN OUT
ALIVE AND EIGHT BODIES
WERE RECOVERED

Eccles, w. Va, April 29.-Eight
bodies have been recovered from shaft
No. 6 of the New River Collieries Co.,,
which was wrecked by an explosion
yesterday. Sixty-seven have been
taken out alive. There are no more
men in No. 6. >.
One hundred and seventy -eight are
buried in No. s mine.
Rescuers, working frantically, went
down shaft No. and got within 129
feet Of the bottom. There progress
came to a stop because Of broken and
twisted timbers and a heavy fall Of
earth. It is believed the bottom will
be reached late this afternoon or to-
night.
The hope that some Of the 17S min
ers imprisoned might still be alive
stirred the throng on the mountain
side shortly before noon. The rescue
party, driven out Of No. 5 mine re-
ported they had heard sounds as Of
digging beyond the barriers Of debris
choking the entry.
A party Of fresh miners was hur-
ried into the entry and attacked the
fallen mass of rock with renewed
vigor.
Earlier, Governor Hatfield, in per-
son, and Chief Inspector Earl Henry,
headed a party Of mining engineers
and superintendents in an effort to
enter No. shaft. They were COM
PEELED to give up the attempt because
Of the obstruction.
The crew from rescue car No. Z Of
the bureau of mines has been steadily
at work since its arrival. Many ex-
perienced miners from the surround
ing country have been organized by
the government engineers so that the
work of clearing away the debris is
proceeding rapidly. twenty-five doc
tors arrived and a carload Of collins
came.

the history and growth of the order
and the principles for which it stands
after which Rev. Thornel] of the En-
ning lodge delivered very fitting ad-
dress reviewing the lessons taught

MARCH ON MEXICO
WOULD BE HARD
SHOULD ARMY BE ORDERED TO
MARCH TO MEXICO WOULD
MEET TERRIFIC HARDSHIPS

Should it be determined by Presi-
den Wilson to send troops on to
Mexico City, Huerta's capital, to take
it, the undertaking will be one of the
most difficult. General Scott, who
marched to the capital from Vera
Cruz in the Mexican war, almost sixty
years ago, found hard work. From
sea level it will be necessary to take
IN army to an altitude of more than
5000 feet.
If the railroads can be saved by
any method the problem will be
easier. There will be the Mexican
railway with it's 264 miles to the city,
or the, other, the old 1nteroceanic
railroad, with it's 294 miles.
The Mexican railway, standard
gauge and modern, is described as
the "scenic route of Mexico" which
alone explains it's disadvantages:
Where it is not crossing rivers 500
feet down in a canyon it is clingin5
to the side of a mountain or burrow-
ing through it. Beginning in tropi-
cal country, it crawls dangerously
near the snow line, then up and down
and through narrow passes until it
reaches the Mexican central plateau.
There are bridges, curves, tunnels
on the Interoceanic railway of the
National railway system; but as IL
follows much the same route as the
ancient highway it is supposed that
the advance would be made over that
way. This road is narrow gauge, an
cient, and with not enough rolling
stock to furnish transportation for
more than a few regiments at most.
Marching the army to Mexico City
from Vera Cruz means guerilla fight
ing for approximately 300 miles under
conditions to try the most seasoned
of troops. It means taking men &C
customed to atmospheric conditions at
sea level up as high as 5000 feet to
Mexico City.
Only trials made by hundreds of
years of mule trains over the old
military road can be followed and
that means constant harassing bv
sharpshooters in the mountains: No
troops not hardened to the climate
and altitude could accomplish the
tourney encumbered. Weighed down
bv field equipment it would be a ply
steal impossibility for them to do
fast work. General Scott proceeded
slowly, giving some Of his men three
months to learn how to use their
strength in the rarified atmosphere
It will be necessary now.

COURT HOUSE-CANVASS OF
COUNTRY TO BE MADE

The meeting held Saturday in the
court house in regard to a co-opera--
tive creamery was success in every
way and everyone present seemed to-
be heartily in favor of getting one in
operation.
AS a result of the meeting form
of stock agreement drawn up and a
canvass of the surrounding country
will be made to see who will purchase
one or more shares and get owners to
agree to furnish cream. None of the
agreements are to be binding unless
one hundred and forty shares are sold
at S25 each and the cream from at
least one thousand cows is pledged.

sells here for s3.4O. This corn is the
corn to plant for the silo. as there is
some chance for the ear to get to the
dentine stage Fodder corn with a
green half ripe ear will not make
GOOD silage.

CONTEST WAS
GREAT SUCCESS
LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYS HIGH
SCHOOL ORATORICAL CON.
TEST IN LIBRARY HALL

A large audience assembled at Ii
brary Hall Thursday evening in At
tendance upon one Of the best enter
tainments Williston has been privl-
legged to enjoy during the entire sea
. son. The occasion was the High
= School Oratorical Contest in which
eight of our High School pupils did
both themselves and their instructor,
Mrs. NJ. D. Wickard, great honor:
James Shikany had prepared himself
to give q selection from Mark Twain,
entitled "New England Weather" but
owing to an attack of tonsilitis, he
was unable to appear.
The program was very delightfully."-
opened with piano duet, rendered by
Misses Hazel Glass and Alice Ander-
son, followed by Chas. Bradley, the
first contestant, who showed evidences
of some very good work on Mark
Twain's "The Jumping Frog" Mark
Twain's humor is difficult to impcr-
senate, vet the selection was we'll rem
dered. Manuel Barony, in Tennyson's
Revenge" was good indeed and the
judges awarded him second place
among the boys. Mark Twain seem
ed to be favorite author OF the
young men for Theodore Hopkins had
chosen for his selection, "Our Guide
in Genoa" He had surely gotten into
: the very spirit of it and the audience
could fairly see and enjoy the old
guides discontinue. Master Hopkins
is to be sincerely congratulated upon
being awarded first place among the
boys.
Before the girls began their part Of
the program, Miss Baldwin rendered
a contralto solo, which was. much ap-
preciated by the audience. Miss Edna
, Brant, the first of the young ladies,
gave with much feeling, Dickens
"Death of Little Nell" Margaret
Heffernan appeared also in selection
from Mark Twain and rendered with
fine appreciation of its humor, "An
Encounter with an interviewer" It
was exceedingly we'll done, and well
received. Flava Musick put much
pathos into Dickens "Death of Paul
Dombey" and gave it creditably in
deed. The winner of the first place
among the girls was Dolly Doug ghty,
who gave eve Willie Winkie" from
Rudgard Kipling. The selection con-
tains much in the way Of impersonation
and was rendered with such degree
of ease and naturalness as to give
evidence of much talent in this line
of work. The last speaker on the
program, Lily Wilkinson, gave beau
tiful rendering of Van Dykes THE
Lost Word" and showed fine ability
and earnest work. She was especially
we'll suited to her selection in both
voice and manner, and it is much to
be regretted that there could not be
two first places.
While the judges were preparing to
make known their decision, the Boys
Glee Club sang the "Soldiers' Chorus
from Faust" and "The Curriculum" )"
The young men are to be compliment
ed upon their music.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the whole evenings entertainment
and especially of the work by Mrs.
Wickard in the training of these
Young people.
