Enquiry made Of parties residing in
different parts of the county would
indicate that this spring there will be
more corr planted in Cavalier county
than there has been in all the years
previous since the growing of corn
was first experimental with here.
You find that there is hardly q farmer
but will plant a certain amount Of
corn, last year having demonstrated
that corn can be raised and is a profit
able crop. The greater part of the
seed planted this spring will be from
o that was matured and ripened in
this county last fall.

From the way in which you hear
some people talking these day you are
given the impression that times are
inclined to be somewhat hard in North
Dakota Just now, but after you get
through reading reports from some of
the more densely populated parts OF
the United States and through the
Canadian northwest you can hardly
come to any other conclusion than that
we are pretty we'll off right here if it
has been rather a tight year sc far as
ready money is concerned. We hear
from those on the other side that
there are people in the Canadian
Northwest who are almost at the
point Of starvation, while the farm
ars Of that section are calling on the
government for aid to secure their
seed grain. Here in this state it is to
an extent true that money is scarce
this spring, but we are still right in
maintaining that North Dakota is one
of the brightest spots on the map after
all.

The principal changes made in the
state game laws consist of raising the
minimum ~"sooner'' penalty to $50

The fine for non-residents shooting
without a license has been raised to
$50. Trapping licenses are 81. The
hunting season remains unchanged.
Dog trainers are required to have a
license. The season for hunting deer
and beaver is to remain closed until

The North Dakota crop of this year
will bring the biggest return to the
state that it has ever had in ready
cash. More land will be cropped and
there will be more thorough cultlVa-
sion than there has even been before
The year promises a good season SO
far and the probability is for a very
good crop year. 1t is safe to say
that North Dakota will practically
lead the nation this year in its agrl-
cultural crops.

According to the almanac Sunday
was the first day of spring and locally
the condition OF the weather backed
up the statement in a most satisfac-
tory manner. There have been slight
furries Of snow during the week, the
general dampness and the almost en-
tire disappearance Of snow seems to
indicate that after the passing of the
spring %equinoxial period of this week
there will be a general clearing up Of
weather in readiness for the opening
of spring. This year there has been
recorded slight disturbances in the
way of thunderstorms in this section
as early as the middle of February
and since the incoming of the present
month a sprinkle Of rain has been re-
corded on two or three different dates.
In the western part of the county the
snow had entirely disappeared by the
first of March and at the present time
it is practically all gone around Lang
don. That more moisture will be ar
important factor in the securing of a
good crop and should be received be.
fore the operations for the spring
work starts is an admitted fact anc
either rains or heavy snow fall is
forecast by some of the weather wise
ones. The land is certainly in the
best possible shape to absorb any fal
of either rain or snow that may hap
pen to be distributed over this section
before seeding starts.

from customers merely on the confident belief
that Dodge Brothers would establish a new
standard Of value in the automobile industrv."
Dodge Brothers new automobile is a real
car i'll every particular. Freakisl design has
been carefully avoided and the beautiful stream
line body is combined with a powerful 3O-55
horse power motor, to make an ideal car for five
passengers. 1t is a big roomy car in every sense
of the word, having a wheel base of $40 inches
and wheels 32x3H inches. The motor is cast en-
bloc and has a bore of 50 inches and a stroke Az
inches. Electric lighting and starting apparatus
is included, and the equipment in every way
suggests the car of 50, 900, rather than one of
S785, the price which Dodge Brothers have
made. Real leather upholstery and the latest type
of lubrlcatlng springs makes the car one of the
easier riding machines that has ever been mar
keted. Among the unusual features on the car
is the speedometer drive, which is connected di-
rectly to the transmission and is therefore prac-
tically trouble proof. The arrangement of the
transmission gears is also a novel one, no gears
except the third being in operation when the car
is driven OH direct drive.
Dodge Brothers have just finished the
erection of two immense new buildings 1000 feet
and 800 feet long, respectively, to add to the al
ready large facilities of their Detroit plant.

Dodge Brothers. car has arrived! To hun
dreds of Cavalier county motorists the above
message that was flashed to towns over the
county was the signal for an excited dash to the
saesrooms of f. J. Moer, local dealer for Dodge
Brothers car at Osnabrock. Probably never be-
fore in the history Of the automobile, has the
advent of a new motor car been awaited with
interest equal to that shown by thousands of
automobiles i'll all sections of the country.
In the first two hours following the OPEN
ing Of Mr.. Mems salesroom a constant stream
of visitors poured through the entrance anxious
to secure their first glimpse of the car, which
has been appropriately called the Car of Mys-
terry, Judging by the universal comments of
the critical visitors and rival dealers in the town
the new car is all and more than the public had
expected from the builders
In bringing out their new motor car
Dodge Brothers wisely determined not to court
an advance appeal" says Mr.. Moen. mo whit
of information was to be divu1ged until Dodge
Brothers idea of a motor car stood complete in
every detail. That the automobile dealers of the
country reposed in immense confidence in the
big Detroit company is shown by the fact that
over ID, 600 dealers wrote in for the privilege of
selling the car before any detail of price or speci-
fcations had been released from the factory. In
Osnabrock as elsewhere, we have taken orders
