The village road work commenced
Tuesday morning just as the moon
went down. G. D. Davidson, road
commissioner, was there to the minute
when work began. The first thing
was digging a drain between Piety
Hill and Alkali flats. The next move
was one of strategy-conveying the
earth from the drain to the Lawton
park to fill up the earthworks batter
ed down by the long range guns of
people, living miles out in the country,
and the spies in town who are in COM
munication with the enemy. For the
sake of peace, we wish to say that a
park has to grow and be attended to
by those who appreciate a breathing
spell in the dense population. Our
park will accomplish this in time.
The world was not made in a day; it

Louis Bratt, one of our big prosper
Gus farmers, brought in a sample of
red clover last week which beats any
thing we have seer at this time of the
year in North Dakota. It measured
"a inches in length. Louis has only a
few acres under cultivation, but is
proud of his crop. He is putting in a
patch of alfalfa this year as his hogs
cannot root it out like clover. This
certainly shows that clover and al
falfa can be grown here successfully
and that horses, hogs and cattle can
be fed at a low cost.
j. A. Arid invited us out to his farm
just east Of town before he left for a
trip around America and the United
States. He showed us a patch Of al
falfa sown last year. It stood at the
time Of our viewing about twelve in

hogs this year. Speaking of Mr.
Arid, We received a card from San
