growing in this section of the state.
A picture of this handsome cup ac-
companies this article, also a picture
of Mr.. Stults with the cup when it
first came into his keeping in 1913. =
In the contest of 1913 Anton Burda
was a close second, with about the
same kind of corn and almost no diff
ference, the judges finding Mr..
Stults' little more perfect. In 1914
Ed. Culver was Mr.. Suits close COM
petitor, but the formers corn was a
little mixed.
Mr.. Stults raises Minnesota 23"
and has taken great deal of pains
for several years in selecting his
own seed, choosing the very best ears
each year from his own fields, as the
seed for the next year. In this way
it is possible to wonderfully improve
the crop in few years. In 1913 and
1914, Mr.. Stults had a yield of.sSz5O
bushels per acre but - lat spring
frosts, cool summer and early fall
frosts cut the past seasons yield
down to 80 bushels. The 1915 prize
corn was grown in an 8-acre field
and cultivated several times. This,
Mr.. Stults considers very essential to
successful corn growing.
Mr.. Stuits has been in this country
a quarter of a century and more and
is successful as both a farmer and
stock raiser. He is constantly i'm
proving methods and putting into
practice the latest scientific methods
Of making the farm pay big returns.
Mr.. Suits says that there will be
a celebration the coming summer at
the "Square Deal Farm" to celebrate
the winning of the Stark county corn
test three years in succession, giving
him the handsome Northern Pacific
silver cup. He is not sure now just
what the nature of the entertainment
will be but he will try to make it
pleasant for all Of his friends and
neighbors. Due notice will be given
of the celebration.
Everybody knows what delightful
place "Square Deal Farm" is and it is
certain Mr.. Stults' guests will be
many.

BASKETBALL GAMES

A basketball game has been sched-
uled for next Tuesday evening, De-
cember 28th, between the Wisconsin
Stars and the Dickinson high school
at the armory. The Wisconsin Stars
make up a strong team which is
composed of young men who are
teaching in the territory south OF
Dickinson. Our boys played this
team in a quick and snappy game
last year and indications are that
the coming game will be no less in
teresting. Our lineup will be chosen
from the following boys: George
Brodie, Butler, Jessen, Richards
McCutchan and Peck. Crosby Rich
ards, who is thoroughly acquainted
with basketball rules has been Sc
cured to referee the game. ,
A date has been definitely settled
for a game with the Alumni for. next
Friday night, December 81, which
promises to be one Of the big games
of the season.

and get them to trade where they can
secure the vote tickets and then call
and get the votes for them. Every
child is going to have a square deal
and an equal chance to secure a prize.
There will be no special vote days, no
deviation from the regular schedule
and no favors shown. If you have
not already won a watch, it is no in
dication that you will not have enough
votes to win the pony outfit at the
end of the campaign. No one can tell
who the winner will be until the end
and you may be right near the top
of the list, so keep right in the game
until the finish, and if you should not
win-go down with your flag flying.

Our readers will remember that
Representative C. C. Turner of this
district last year introduced in the
state legislature joint resolution,
which was adopted, looking to the
setting aside by Congress of public
lands for the benefit of state insti-
tutions and the betterment of the
road in the several northwestern
states.
This is measure of great inn
portance to all public lands of the
states and especially to this part
of North Dakota in view of the pro-
posed normal school at Dickinson.
The older North Dakota state insti-
tutions were given liberal land grants
and it is to provide for new institu-
tions like the Dickinson normal and
in the interest of good roads through
out the newer Plains states that
this measure is being urged for pas
sage.
The following letter from Senator
P. J. McCumber to Representative C.
c. Turner and the bills introduced in
Congress tell what is being done:
