OF NORTH DAKOTA
VALUED AT 100000

Bismarck, N. d., June lac
cording to figures compiled by
r. F. Flint, commissioner Of ag-
riculture and labor, there are
$15,OOO.O00 worth of cattle in
North Dakota. These figures
are arrived at on a basis Of in
crease the last two years.
It can be taken for granted
that when a farmer records a
stock brand with the department
Of agriculture he has a herd or
contemplates starting one. AL
most invariably new brands in
dictate that new stock has been
shi pped into the state. From Jan.
l to May 1, 1912, 20 brands we're
recorded. During the same
months this year 2S1 brands were
filed.
II the average is kept up for the
remainder of the year there will
be 636 new brands recorded in
1915. The total now OH record
in the department of agriculture
is ALSO.

The routine of busy life was
stopped in Washburn ON Monday
and time taken to visit the
sleeping places Of the departed
AM to strew flowers upon thu
graves Of our soldiers dead. One
uuthOr has said:
"The custom is a beautiful one
to do honor to those who gave
Up their lives that the institu-
ions Of our country might live.
md should be observed by all.
NE day will come when there
ill be no warfare, when God s
ternal Peace will smile upon
ne world, when Love shall come
y its own, indeed, when the roar
{ battle shall have passed ior-
yer. But the memories Of those
no died for their opinions and
pr their country, in the years
hen the world had not yet come
the realization Of Gods glori-
is peace, will ever be rememb-
ed"
There are only a few Of the
Comrades" left and each year
ees are missed who We're here
it year. The remaining are
ay haired and feeble but they
still full Of patriotism and
lie for their country.
The addresses delivered in the

the heroic deeds done by these
brave men in whose honor the
day was observed and the chang
es in our country today.
Memorial day is always OBJ
served here with suitable servic-

They have both been in poor

j. S. Thornton, who lives with
his son east of Washburn, was
the only old soldier who marched.
i'm the parade. He kept right up
with the band and did not seem
to mind the walk to the cemeter
as much as those several years
younger. Mr.. Thornton is still
active. He helps his son on the

ROGERS ROADS ARE
KEPT IN GOOD SHAPE

Rogers Citizens: The roads in
and near Rogers have certainly
been kept in fine shape this
spring. After each rain they have
been dragged and thus smoothed
down near to perfection. We
believe that If the money expend
ed for road improvements were
largely paid for dragging tn
roads would be i'm much better
condition and the expense would
be considerable less than the
amount expended formerly.
