COST OF RUNNING A FARM

Grand Forks Oct. 2.-The total ex-
pense of operating farm is larger
than usually figured: This is due to
certain expenses not being consider
ed. Those omitted are as general
rule those for which cash is not paid.
Buildings depreciate in value even
though we'll built and kept UP in good
shape. Machinery has an annual de-
probation of about 10 per cent If the
year ends with less feed on hand than
at the beginning, the decrease is IAN
expense. Unpaid family labor is not
often thought of as an expense. How
ever it is fully realized when the
boys leave home and someone is hired
to take their place. The value of these
items on 81 farms, reported to the
Grand Forks County Better Farming
Association amounted to 1854 farm
in 1914. The total expense amounted
to 1891 farm. From this it is seen
that if those expenses not paid in cash
are omitted, but one-fourth Of the ac-
tual expense of operating a farm is
overlooked. The farms from which
the above figures were calculated are
typical of large number of smaller
farms in the east and south.

Draw Poker Leads to
a Drawing Of Guns

Devils Lake, Oct. ,2.-ln a shooting
affair at Rolla following trouble over
a poker game, two Films were badly
wounded, one perhaps fatally and the
third who did the shooting and made
an unsuccessful attempt at suicide,
was taken into custody and is now
held in the Rolette county Jail await
ing trial, at which the victims, if they
live, will be presented as witnesses.
According to the story that reached
here, a game of poker had ended in a
disagreement which resulted in one
of the men pulling firearm and shoot
ing his companions, one in the chin
and the other through the tongue.
When he saw what he had done, he
tried to shoot himself, but the bullet
just glanced off his head. He was
caught by officers and imprisoned
The two men were brought down on
the noon train on stretchers and taken
to the Mercy hospital. One of them
was bleeding quite freely and it is
feared that he is fatally injured.

Breaks
Receipt Record

St. Paul, Oct. 2.-The Equity Coop
erative Exchange broke another rec
ord yesterday. t
The receipts of grain at St. Paul
and Superior were 100 cars, the high
est number the exchange ever has re-
ceived on mid-week day. There have
been receipts as large on Monday, but
that is because the cars have accu.
mulated over Sunday.
During the first four days of this
week the receipts of the exchange in
St. Paul and Superior have averaged
more than 80 cars of grain day. A
year ago 80 cars day would have
been considered high average.
If the average is kept up today, the
total receipts for the week will be
100000 bushels.

Offers Cooperstown
Site for a Hospital

C0operstown, Oct. 2.-CooperstoWn
people are keenly interested in the
proposition for county hospital to
be located here. G. G. Marson, a
wealthy farmer, has agreed to donate
half block within the city limits
providing a hospital is built thereon,
and the hospital project is being agi.
tated in a quiet way. In this connec-
ton the waterworks and sewerage pro-
position has again been brought to
the front and the desirability of both
in case hospital is erected is appar-
ent. Some time ago these PROPOSE.
lions were brought to the attention of
Cooperstown people and we're the sub
ject of much discussion, although no
definite action was taken.
In connection with the agitation for
q hospital, however, they push them
selves in the foreground as very ne
cessary aids to it's effective operation
and it is quite probable that both the
hospital and waterworks propositions
will receive consideration in the near
future. The city council has also con-
sidered the installation Of a white way
for some time past and it is only a
question Of time when Cooperstown
will bear the distinction Of not only
being the prettiest little city in the
state, but also the best lighted and
most cosmopolitan.

Opening Concert BY Normal
Music Faculty Is Delightful

. I 4 , p. j.
The music season in the Normal
school auditorium was delightfully."-
opened on Saturday evening with re-
cital given by the members Of the mu-
sic faculty. On an occasion Of this
nature, the performers were perhaps
greeted by a larger audience than has
enjoyed faculty recital for several
years. Fully 500 persons heard the
program, and were well rewarded, for
coming to the auditorium.
Miss Katherine Fjelde opened the
program with the Mcdowell concerto,
and Miss Josephine Wright at the Sec
0nd piano, and was we'll received, aft
er which Dean woodlands sang a
group Of five pretty songs, all by
American composers, who were given
the first part of the program.
Everybody was delighted to hear
Prof. Froysaa again, this being his
first appearance in the auditorium
since his return from abroad and the
first time in nearly year and half
that he played for an audience here.
Mr.. Froysaa responded with Friml's
paraphrase on Bohemian folk songs,
the Pasmore Berceuse and the Hun
garian Dance by Haesche.
II her second appearance on the
evenings program, Miss Fjelde played
the Litzt Etude in D Flat, Romance
and Caprice both by Bibelius. Mr..
Froysaa returned with La Folia, d
heavy yet well rendered and very
much appreciated selection by Corelli-
Leonard.
Mr.. Woodlands closed the program
with group of well sung Biblische
Lieder from the Dvorak series. His
rendition and Interpretation of the
series proved q fitting climax to a
pleasant evening, all of which was
ample evidence of the ability Of Val
ley City's musical instructors and in.
dicative of big things that are to come.
Mrs. Woodlands and Prof. H. S.
OLSON played the accompaniment and
had quite as much to do with the sue
cess of the evenings program as other
members who took part.

Annual Harvest Of
Harvest Hands On

jamestown, Oct 3.-The annual har'
vest of the. harvest hands proceeds
apace. Two different gangs operating
Friday night cleaned up the harvest
hands in box cars at Montpelier and
Kensal Two poker games at Mont
pelier also were relieved of the kitty.
Hence this tale.
Sheriff Wright was called to Mont
pelier Friday night, arriving there
with his Ford in time to nab VIM.
O'Connell who had purchased some
booze. Prior to the advent of the
sheriff three hold-up artists had made
a canvass of the box cars in the yards
and cleaned out the harvest hands
rOOsting in them. Two games of polk
er were broken up and the pot taken
in each instance as we'll as the evil
dences of wealth of the party. In
other cars the sleeping men were
kicked awake and relieved of their
possessions. One man reported losing
his roll of $50 and others lesser
amounts.
The hold-ups could not be identified
by their victims and melted away in
the darkness.
At Kensal, also, hold-up men went
through the yards and cleaned up the
bunch and upon a telephone call to
the sheriff Deputy Berlinke was rush
ed to that front to repel the enemy.

Linde May Enter Race
for the Coyernorship

Bismarck, Oct. 2.-Will U. l.. Bur
dick have any pronounced opposition
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor is question that is being asked
in North Dakota. His announcement
this week of his candidacy has start
ed lot of political gossip, not that
his candidacy was unexpected, because
it has been generally understood ever
since his defeat by Governor L. B.
Hanna last year that he would enter
the campaign again next time.
BY many republicans he is consider
ed the strongest candidate that could
seek the governorship. He ran we'll
in the last campaign, gained wide ex-
perience and acquaintance and can be
said to have at least one-third the re.
publicans of the state now back OF
him. ".....
Burdick denies all stories that he in
tends to form an alliance with United
States Senator McCumber. He de-
clares he intends to keep hands off the
senatorial fight between Hanna and
McCumber and devote his entire time
to his own candidacy.
Lieutenant Governor Frame is pop
ularly supposed to be candidate for
the position now held by Governor
Hanna, but it is regarded as extreme
ly doubtful if he can win against Bur.
dick. State Treasurer Steen is some.
times suggested but is said to be rath-
er in favor Of seeking reelection.
The strongest man in the republican
party in the state for the governor
ship would undoubtly be Attorney
General Linde and he is about the only
man who could defeat Burdick, &C.
cording to close political observers.
Linde has made good as attorney gen.
eral and his activities against the rail
ways Of the state for illegal shipments
of liquor have made him the most
talked of official in North Dakota.
The odds would be in his favor
should he enter the race against Bur-
dick, but with almost any other oppo-
sition Burdick will be the favorite.

This is the first antelope seen in this
part of the county for number of
years. Reports have reached here
from time to time that there is, still a

southwestern part of the county. This
seems to be about all of the many
punches that roamed the prairies in

Heavy FIGHTING Continuous

London, Oct. 2. On both the east
ern and western fronts heavy fighting
is continuous but it lacks the drama
tic features afforded by early stages
of the Allies big offensive which
started a week ago today and result
ed in considerable gain of ground in
Champagne and Artois, still held by
Allies, while the great drive which the
Austro.G Germans successfully engin.
eered against the Russians for fully
five months, has carried them from
western Galicia to the western border
of old Russia.
In the west the Allies, in the face
of serious German counter attacks,
are holding their new position and
are themselves making local attacks
which the Germans claim to have re-
pulsed.
In their report, the French say they
have made further progress on the
heights of La Falie, in the Souchez
area, as we'll as in Champagne. Com
pared with the Allies capture of near
ly 10000 prisoners, and 40 guns and
innumerable machine guns, is the Ger
man claim that they have taken $4,000
men and 81 machine guns.
Temporarily the great offensive may
be considered at an end and the
question is being asked where the
next attempt will be made to pierce
the German line.
Russia has been relieved to some
extent by the withdrawal Of German
troops to meet the offensive in the
West and to supply contingent for
the enterprise against Serbia. Rus
STA appears to be holding her own
along virtually all of her fronts.
The Balkan situation continues
tense with Bulgaria the center of the
political storm She is reported to be
moving troops to all her frontiers and
has given other indications of an in
tention to act in the near future on
the side of the Central powers.
1t is reported through Cologne that
Austria will send an ultimatum to
Rumania demanding free passage of
munitions for Turkey. The ultimatum,
it is said, will be couched In friendly
terms and will name an interval with
in which Rumania may reply.
At Petrograd today, the Russian
minister of frontier affairs, declared
to an Associated Press correspondent
that if the Bulgarians persist in their
present course they must answer to
Russia. @
IAN ultimatum has not been pre-
scented yet,' added the minister, "but
presume one will be within short
time" AS prefix to this statement,
the minister said:
"The situation in the Balkans is
very grave. The whole Russian ma
ton is aroused by unthinkable treach-
cry of King Ferdinand and his govern
ment to the Slavic cause. Bulgaria
owes her independence to Russia and
yet seems willing now to become a
vassal of Russia's enemy"
