EARLY MORNING FIRE

The l.. N. Peterson general store

saved with the exception of one
sack of -four, a sack of sugar, a

The origin of the fire is unknown,
but was no doubt caused by al

first noticed shortly before two
O'Clock and when the first people
arrived the entire inside of the
building was founr to be in flames

In talking to The Tribone about
the fire Monday afternoon Mr.. Pet

business for more than a day or
two. He immediately rented a va
cant building in Coteau and COM

now doing business. AS soon as
weather permits he will put up a
more substantial building than the
old one, and a larger one. The
new structure will probably be
constructed Of brick as sOol as

must realize that all products will
command high prices and that
their interests lie in raising all

be especially in demand and dairy
products will be needed in very

The next few years will see an
enormous increase in the wealth

We should realize this and arrange

other lines of endeavor should like

the outside business concerns are

is sEowa by the fact that three

Almost the entire demand OF the
world for wheat has been coDcen~
trated on the United States since
the beginning of the war. Greece,
Italy. and the countries of north
ern Africa have been buying wheat
from the United States for the
first time.
The Danube country and Russia
markets that have always supplied
them are closed. Another reason
for the heavy demand is that Aus
tralia had a poor crop this year
and is not exporting much.
All farm products are bringing
close to record prices and when
we remember that even if the Eu-
ropean war were to end soon, and
of this there is little or no pros
rcct, that the period Of readjust-
meat in Europe would preclude the
raising of anything like average
crops, we must realize that high
prices will ont'nue, not alone fer
bread stuffs~ but for all kinds Of
farm products. Corn, cattle. pota-
toes, every food product must be
readily salable at very high prices.
There should be no tendency to
break away from the diversified

Thursday Metz began to realize
that he had to stay in Jail for some
time, as it was Secided that day
that he would not have any fur
ther examination. At supper time
Sheriff Norem did not propose to
take any chances, so instead OF
taking his prisoner out to supper,
carried his supper to the jail. At
night, however, Metz was left in
the corridor. which seemed to be
secure enough, bu; the next morn

BEING TRIED FOR
L.|lGERW00D MURDER

Wahpeton, N. D., Jan. 20.--Bige
Reed, a negro giving his residence
as Minneapolis, and claiming to
have wife and children there, is
on trial in this city charged with
first degree murder
Reed was arrested last August
FOR the killing Of Frank kulit elk,
in Iidgerwood, this county, and
was bound owe" at the preliminary
hearing, along With two ColoTea
companions, to await tie district
court.
The trial began Monday, and
forty-six jurors were examined be
fore the jury was selected. Brown
Minneapolis, is Reeds attorney,
and is putting up strong fight
for his client.
This is the first trial of general
interest to be held in Richland
county's new court house, and the
fact, together with the nature of
the case on trial, IS drawing huge
crowds. Over 800 persons have
been present at every session Of
court, and yesterday afternoon
when one of the companions Of the
murdered man and one OF the ne
groes who were arrested with Reed
took the stand to testify for the
state, the courtroom was packed
to suffocation ana the crowd over
flowed half way down the stairs.
It is generally believed that Reed
will be found guilty OF second de-
gree murder.

shoots appear. the succeeding cut
duced. If allowed to stay toe
long,. the stems become woody and
the hay deteriorates in quality.
Forty per cent Of the hay is leaves
and sixty per cent of the protein
of the entire plant Is found in the
leaves. Any condition in which
the percentage Of leaves is lowered
or the amount of protein lessened,
means a deterioration in the quail
ty Of the hay. Two and sometimes
three cuttings of alfalfa =, can be
taken off each year under average
North Dakota conditions. In Grand
Forks where alfalfa has been crop
ped for a long period Of years
three cuttings is the rule rather
than the exception.
The production of alfalfa seed in
North Dakota would seem to I've Il
profitable venture for the enter
prising farmer The soil and eli
mate Of this state is suitable for
the seed formation Of this crop.
In humid regions the seed does not
set readily. The demand for cold
resistant strains of alfalfa is great
er than the available supply. The
North Dakota farmer should seize
the opportunity to become a grow
er Of alfalfa seed instead Of being
merely buyer.

CONFLICT
CAUSE Of INSANITY

Manning, n. d., Jan. 2S.-Mrs.
Joseph Hunstiger, the wife of d
young rancher living some miles
north of Halliday was taken to
Jam estown and placed in the ahy
lum for the insane. Grief and
worry over number OF misfor~
tunes undoubtedly affected the
young woman's mind and she be-
came entirely insane.
The trouble started last summer
when their small child died. Since
that time a number of relatives IN.
cluding her father and several
brothers have been killed in the
war In Europe and two OF her SIS
ters have been left homeless and
destitute by the loss of their hus-
bands in the war. All this coupled
with financial troubles, it is thought
unbalanced the young woman's
mind and drove her to a pitiful
state of Insanity.
She was accompanied on her trip
by DR.. DeClar and Lyman Sumter
whose resources were taxed to the
limit in preventing her from doing
herself and others harm.
