Especial to The Farmer.


 Stratford, Nov 24-The members of the Dingbat club, one of Stratford' s prominent civic orga anizations, have announced that their second annual oyster supper will be given in the town hall Thursday evening, Dec. g., between 5 and p. m.

The Homesteader

You can see him each day, on the
road,
Or perhaps getting off of a train.
They arc coming from city and
town;
From valley and bottom and plain.
From the east, from the north, from
the west,
To the South they have started to
They are seeking the land they like
best,
To make much longed-for home.
The rich timbered flats of this
county
Are rapidly settling up.
They find here that natures rich
bounty
Is ready to pour in their cup.
They clear up some land and build
fences,
Or perhaps they will "deaden" them
some.
They build a log cabin or shanty
And the settler has started his
home.
The man who will 90 to a wildwood
And start in a home-making fight,
Deserves to be always encouraged
And always to be treated right.
Be neiehborly, cheering, pleasant
You, too, may some time want tC
roam.
Always do as you'd like to be done
by
To the man who is making a home

By Homer D. Wade

Chairman Good Roads Committee,
National Farmers Union.
Our time is too valuable to waste
in travelling over bad roads.
Until we have good roads we will
not have better markets.
The cost Of good roads is less than
the cost Of bad ones.
Out of the mud hole and onto the
pike should be your slogan.
Fortune lives on an improved high
way; misfortune on poor one
The growth of any community is
dependent upon good roads,
Happiness, contentment and pros
perity don't 60 with bad roads
Even heather countries realize the
value of good highways
Mud holes are civilizations great
est parasites. Abolish them.
Unto another generation the bene-
fits of good roads will extend.
DO deeds that will live after you
Boost and build roads.

The GREATEST GUNS

Henry w. Nevinson in the Atlantic:
Germany's weapon is the almost myth
ical 16.S-inch gun or howitzer, suppos-
ed to throw 2,000-pound shell some
thing between seven and nine miles.
Doubts have been expressed as to this
monsters existence, and according
to one high authority, only two at
most have been made, and perhaps
these have not yet been fired. For
they require to be bolted down to a
solid cement platform, prepared long
beforehand. To be sure, our spy-ma-
MACS have discovered numerous plat
forms of the kind ready prepared and
scattered up and down our own coun.
try under the pretext of house foun-
dations and factory floors. But spy
rnaniacs see Germans in the moon to
which they bay. We have seen, how
ever, an apparently genuine photo
graph of an Austrian Pinch siege
howitzer, weighing % tons with its
carriage, and throwing a shell of over
1000 pounds. We also hear of a Krupp
II. Finch mortar" used on the field, a
1O-inch howitzer throwing $50
pound shell at a range of about six
miles, an 8.4-inch, 4.13-inch (appar
emily one of the commonest), and var
ious other sizes.

SUPREME COURT
From Barnes County

From Barnes County
State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and
Respondent,
Oliver Mackey, Defendant and Appel
liant
Syllabus: Defendant appeals from
conviction for statutory rape. Fifty
seven assignments Of error appear,
but only enough thereof are discussed
to entirely destroy plaintiffs case.
Q) The testimony of prosecrutrix's
teacher, the principal Of the school
and lady member of the school
board as to statements made to them
by prosecutrix during a private in
vestigation, was improperly admitted
upon the trial. Such statements were
; not voluntary, and not being under
oath were hearsay.
(2) The only remaining testimony
properly admitted was given by the
prosecutrix. She was so weak-mind.
ed that she had no memory of dates
nor conception of time. Her testi
mony in many material particulars is
contradicted by the states own wit
nesses, and is so unreasonable that
it cannot support conviction.
(3) Other errors, while not neces
sary to disposition of the case, sci
forth in explanation of the action Of
the jury in convicting the defendant.
