Originated With Cape Fear.
The idea of a State asylum or or

Grand Lodge might establish an asy

response and on motion of Mr.. OSca

pointed TO present some plan. Thi
committee was composed of MeSSr'

Established at Oxford Session.
1t was at the next session of the
a Lodge. which was held at Ok
ford, that saw the orphanage brought
to a successful conclusion. DR.. John
n. Pool was the Grand Master and in
his report to the Grand Lodge he
made a strong plea for the establish
ment OF the Orphanage. He said in his
report ia the establishment of the
o~rphanage would redound to the bene-
fit of the order and that the order
could not prosper unless it carried out
its plain duties. He also said that
the order could not wait for outsiders
and that the Odd Fellows must go to
work themselves. Let US not for
get" he said. that to feed and care
for the orphan is u duty"
The Grand Lodge acted on the re-
port and established the orphanage.
A tax OF 81 per capita was levied on
every Odd Fellow and three thou
sand dollars was appropriated to aug
ment the $4,000 on hand, to build
the Home, which name was decided
on. The next year saw the Orphans
Home built at G~oldsboro, and was oc-
cupied by several children. The per
capita tax is only $1.25.
COncer classes which are sent out
through the east and the west are
most enjoyable events to the various
cities they visit, especially to the Ode
Fellows. They also produce good reve-
nue. to the Home. These classes will
go out again after the closing of schoo
on June 10.

feeds. The pigs in the "a prize win
ming litters averaged 210 pounds at 21S
days, ten to the litter. The feed cost
per pound gain was 2 S-4 cents.
"The feeds fed and prices charged
were as follows: Corn, SOC bushel;
barley, 45c; rye, Coo; bran and shorts,
$19 ton; screenings, $40 ton; skim
milk, Csc a hundred pounds; pasture,
one third of a cent day; corn hogged
off, SO an acre.
"The boys and girls secured more
than twice these prices for the feeds
that they fed the hogs"
AS indicated by this article in the
Country Gentleman, the results secur-
ed by the boys and girls of North Da-
kota in these contests are attracting
national attention. They are calling
attention to the splendid opportunities
that the state offers for livestock pro-
duction. These results are so striking
that papers all over the United States
and Canada are devoting space to it.
The contestants have found it prof
liable thing to be in these contests.
The average returns per litter of the
"a prize-winning contestants in 1914
was $137.70, while the feed cost was
$3.50, leaving a return of $3.50. It
was fine business experience, too, as
il taught the boys and girls how good
returns could be secured with the use
of but small capital. They have
new conception of the farm and the re-
lation that livestock bears to profit
making.
Those who enter the 1915 contest
will help boost North Dakota's reputa-
ton as livestock state and they will
at the same time gain a good deal of
valuable knowledge and experience.

Tells OF THE OLD DAYS
and FARMERS ALLIANCE

In the Fargo Forum OF Saturday E. e.
Saunders, of Mapleton, contributes An
article on the early days Of this Sec
ton which is mighty readable. The
article follows: ... .
In the good old territorial days
when the young folks used to sing:
II want to be Granger, .-.
And with the Oranges stand,
A horny-handded farmer,
With a hay stack in my hand,
Beneath a tall tomato tree
I'll ring the glittering hoe
And smite the wild potato bug
While skipping DER the snow"
The farmers of Stutsman county set
the ball rolling for the organiza-
ton Of a Farmers Alliance. While
in Jamestown last Monday, the writer
obtained the following information
from J. w. Goodrich, the pioneer
farmer, and publisher of the James
town Capital. A goodly number of
Stutsman county farmers met in the
court house and listened to an inspir-
ing address by President Louchks of
South Dakota Alliance. The late +.
j. Eddy of jamestown was elected
president and the Alliance Hail In
surance company was organized the
following January, and still has its
headquarters in that city, and is do
ing a prosperous businss. In the
following July Mr. Goodrich induced
Fred B. Francher to drive with him
to Glendale, from whence they ira
yelled by train to Aberdeen, S. D., and
attended the meeting of the Territori-'
al Farmers Alliance then in session.
Fancher became enthusiastic and was
elected vice president. Returning
home plans were Immediately adopt
ed and effectively worked for the ex-
! tension of the organization to the
various counties in this part of the
territory, the good results of which
have for some years past been apapr-
ent. In January, 1886, we'll attended
meeting was held in Valley City.
Those present were impressed with
the thought that the producers of the
state were in a great disadvantage in
the matter of the shipment of their
grain, as they were compelled to ship
through the elevators exclusively
Consequently a committee was ap-
pointed consisting of Mesrs. F. B.
Fancher and J. w. Goodrich of jam
estown; F. A. Hanscom of Oriska, H.
o. Sterl Of Sanborn; F. H. Reming-
ton, Hugh Mcdonald, Wylie Nelson
and J. Farmhouse of Valley City; Tho
mas Elliott and Hon. Harry S. Oliver
of Ransom county to provide for a
free and open market for wheat. The
above named gentlemen were consti-
tuted a committee to visit the legisla-
ture and interview that body with re-
ference to providing loading platforms
at various railroad stations and sid
ings for the use of farmers. A suit
able bill was drafted and introduced
! by Representative Oliver and also
championed by Representative Weiser
of Valley City, becoming a law, not
withstanding the fact that there de-
veloped considerable opposition to the
measure from members of that body
The farmers today are enjoying the
benefits that were secured from them
! by those pioneers.

GOOD ADVERTISING
FOR NORTH DAKOTA

North Dakota has been getting lot
of valuable advertising in the last six
months from the Country Gentleman,
enc of the Curtiss publications, at Phil
adelphia. The Country Gentleman de-
votes it's space to telling of the way
farming is handled by the man who
makes conspicuous success of farm
ing. 1t is booster" of the most pro-
nounced type, a booster for those
methods which will make the farmers
of this country business men instead
of :happy-go-lucky victims Of the ca
prices of nature.
The Country Gentleman has very
large circulation, principally among
men who have the money to make
model farms if they take the notion
tc do so, and that is what makes the
advertising North Dakota has gotten
from the publication of SO much value.
Last fall the Country Gentleman de-
voted full page to the work of the
Valley City Chautauqua, its aims for
the agricultural education of the boys
and girls of North Dakota, and Valley
City in general. Last Saturday it had
an article on the winner of the 1914
pork production contest, Miss Anna
Barrett, of Larimore. BY the way,
the North Dakota pork production con-
tests have set the pace for the rest
of the country to follow. North Da'
kota was alone in that form Of re-
search until this year and the results
accomplished set number of other
states to thinking that it was some
thing very good, with the result that
some six or eight are this year hold
ing similar contests. =.
The Country Gentleman article of
last Saturday was headed Farmers of
Tomorrow and was intended to illus
trate the greater gains to be made in
stock growing as compared with grain
farming It is, as follows:
"The awards are being made in the
North Dakota pork production contest
which closed Nov. 20. Miss Anna Bar
rett, of Grand Forks county, stands
first, with litter Of IA Duroc Jerseys
that at 2O9 days weighed 3,S11 pounds.
She used $91. 40 worth Of feed and pas
ture to produce them, and sold them
for IL cents, which brought her
$24771, leaving return Of $156.22
above the feed cost, or "A cents day.
This entitled her to a prize Of 500.
She stood second in the 1913 contest.
This contest was started by the
North Dakota experiment station in
the spring of 1913, and was open to
farm boys and girls from ten to 1S
years Of age. The contestants have
demonstrated that spring pigs can be
brought to marketable age before

London, April 1.-THE first naval
battle of the war between Turkish and
British war craft, 100 of the crew of
the British transport Manitou were
reported to have been drowned and a
Turkish torpedo boat sunk, in official
dispatches to the admiralty tonight.
Another report reaching here indi-
Gated the 100 members of the crew
may have been killed by shells.
The battle was fought off the Island
Of Chios, near the Gulf of Smyrna and
about 100 miles south of the entrance
to the Dardanelles.
Only meager dispatches had reached
the admiralty early tonight, but it was
believed here that the transport was
torpedoed and sunk after it had landed
British troops on the coast of Asia
Minor. The engagement occurred late
today. The torpedo boat is believed to
have emerged from the Gulf of Smyrna
penetrating the blockade maintained
by Vice Admiral Richard Peirse's feet
since the bombardment of Smyrna be-
gan.
Three torpedoes were shot at the
British transport, according to dis
patches to the admiralty. All missed
fire. The light cruiser Minerva, which
had participated in the bombardment
Of Smyrna, gave chase and forced the
torpedo boat ashore in Kalamuit Chois
bay. The Turkish warcraft was de-
stroyed and its crew made prisoners.
The announcement Of the loss of the
Manitou was the first official admis-
sion from the admiralty, that an allied
transport bearing troops for the OAR

The Manitou was a steel screw
steamer, taken over by the British
government from the Atlantic Trans
port company, in whose service it was
used as liner. It was of 6,S49 tons.
