MAY USE CREAMERY
FOR A MILL AT WANG.

Milton, N. D., May 20.-The Wang
creamery in the northern part Of Cav
alier county may be converted into
a flour mill. The creamery is owned
by As farmers in that section of the
county, and after t~o or three trials
in operation of the creamery, it was
found that this could not be done with
profit. AS the building is a good one,
the stockholders figure that 1t should
be made use of, hence the new plan.
To convert the present building in
to a flour mill would require consid-
cradle capital and whether this can
be secured remains to be settled when
the matter is more fully understood
by all interested. Those who have
been looking up the new proposition
have decided that if a change is to be
made it would require the sale of
about $50 shares of stock of $25 each
to secure sufficient funds to purchase
the machinery, change the building
and install the plant.

pit at the Epworth M. E. church Sun

Rev. Vermilya at jamestown. Rev.
Getchell gave splendid address to
very large and appreciative audience.

WHISKEY IS RATHER
EXPENSIVE IN MINO1

Minot, N. D., May 22.-Whiskey in
Minot is selling as high as $40 bot
tie, according to testimony given in
the case of the state VS.. Percy War
rem and William Heidel, who are up
in Justice Willis court on the charge
Of embezzlement.
John Wonke, the complainant, al
leges that he gave one of the defend
ants a $40 bill with which to get a
bottle of whiskey. Wonke says that
the men produced the bottle, but that
they did not give him any change
back. Wonke then promptly appeared
before States Attorney Nestos AMI
secured warrant for the embezzle-
ment.
Wonke is a farmer who lives II
miles from Minot. Several days ago
he lost his team and he walked into
Minot in the rain and stopped at a
shack at which Heidel and Warren,
it is alleged, were stopping. The next
morning he asked for lunch and a
bottle of whiskey. He says that War
rem and Heidel undertook to get it
for him. They did this, but did not
want to return the $40, stating that
they preferred to wait until he sob.
cred up. In the meantime, it is al
legged, they spent the money.

NORMAL LOST SATURDAY
TO THE MOORHEAD NORMAL

Coach Call and his baseball team re-
turned from Moorhead Saturday night
after going down before the Moor
head Normal team in defeat that aft
ernoon. The score was to 2. A
number of pitchers were put in the
box in an effort to save their arms
somewhat for the big game with
jamestown college Monday afternoon.
Pieh, on first base, suffered a split fin
ger and the infield had to be shifted
about considerably as result. The
boys were unfortunate, but have high
hopes of defeating Jamestown, their
ancient rival.

BONHUS BREAKS HIS ARM

While practicing for Play Day at

met with rather serious accident. He
was doing the high jump, it seems,
and in some way slipped and fell,
breaking his arm just above the wrist.
The boy is feeling pretty we'll now.
and although he will have to have his
arm in sling for three or four weeks,
he will not have to miss any school on
account of the mishap.

FARMERS OF WILLlS10N
Have A HUSTLING CLUB

The farmers of Williston township,
Williams county, have an unique or.
ganiZation which is attracting consid-
cradle attention throughout the state,
and which will undoubtedly accomp-
lish much good for the community
which it represents.
This organization is known as the
Williston Township Farmers club,
and is organized for the social and fin
ancial betterment of it's members. The
club has it's officers and executive
committee and holds regular meetings.
The members are evidently a wide
awake combination, but this is as
sured by the fact that they have or
ganized and are out after results.
The latest move by this club is to
secure good, bonafide farmers for
their community. The club has is
sued a circular letter which is being
sent to eastern farmers with a view to
getting them to come to Williston
township, when they will be met at
the train and shown the country. The
club offers to give them the inside
facts about the country, prices of land,
and to do much which will cause the
newcomer to feel at home and to as
sist him in getting located without
running the gauntlet of getting set
tied alone.
The circular is splendidly written,
gets down to the interesting facts,
without mincing matters, and should
be a winner. Mrs. G.. M. Holland Is
the secretary and seems to be live
wire.

Specialists of the federal depart
ment of agriculture have decided that
it is impossible to tell the difference
between mushrooms and toadstools
by any of the so-called tests" and
that the only safe way to determine the
edibility of the fungus is by studying
it from botanical standpoint. Bulle-
tin ITS of the department describes
159 varieties and the Importance OF
exercising care in the use Of any of
these for the table is emphasized by
the determined fact that u of these
varieties are poisonous or strongly
suspected Of being so. This is the
time of year when the mushroom
hunger is specially strong and fungi
Of all kinds specially abundant. Any
lover of the dainty will therefore do
we'll to exercise the most careful dis
elimination in selecting food of this
kind.
Because of the needs of the Florida
grape fruit growers who otherwise
would have large quantities of unsal-
able fruit on hand, new method of
bottling the juice has been evolved so
that it can be preserved in that form
for summer use. 1t is quite likely that
the new beverage will be on sale in
commercial quantities the coming sea-
son.
The Bureau of Animal Industry pub
fishes, in the weekly News Letter,
list of the bureaus bulletins dealing
specially with animal husbandry.
Among them, noted as being especial
ly timely for this season of the year,
are bulletins dealing with Pig Man
agement (No. 205), Hog Houses mo.
1887, Poultry House Construction
(No. 574) and Poultry Management
mo. 2S7.)
The Farm Management association
of Seward county, Nebraska, has sold
for it's patrons over $4,000 worth of
alfalfa seed. This should be sufficient
hint to North Dakota farmers of the
splendid returns to be secured by rails
ing alfalfa seed for foreign markets.
Prof. Bobb, the alfalfa expert Of
Adams county is one of those who has
fully realized the exceptional hardi-
ness of North Dakota grown alfalfa
seed and, as consequence, he is reap
ing the reward due to Intelligent fore
sight He is authority for the state
ment that North Dakota seed tops the
market, is eagerly sought by discrim-
mating buyers and that there is no
danger of Cutting the market.
This is the time of the year farmers
should know that infertile eggs keep
better and command better price
than fertile ones. In some states a
day is set aside in the late spring,
known as Rooster Day." on which
buyers agree to pay as much for
ROSTERS as for hens. This has been
found to result in an enormous sale Of
ROSTERS with the result that eggs of
good keeping quality are secured dur
ing the summer months.
The south is far ahead of the west
and north in organization of poultry
and pig clubs. In Georgia there are
probably 1000 members of pig clubs,
and between 1000 and 5000 in Louis
lana. Tie movement is growing faster
than funds for organization purposes
are available, so keen is the interest
taken by the boys and girls of those
states. 49,

A very satisfactory system of
<check book accounting" is being
practiced by many farmers who desire
to have all their transactions in a
readily accessible form. Two essen
tial principles are necessary for sue
cess by this method: First, all money,
from every source, must be deposited
in the bank. In this manner the en-
tire farm income is known and record
ed, and the expenditure Of money is
impossible without a corresponding
stub to show for same. Second, a
brief but comprehensive record Of the
purpose for which each check is is
sued must be kept on the stub, thus
itemizing the account of farm expendi-
lures. Checks for personal use are
drawn in the same way, and an &C.
count kept of such small items paid
for on farm account out of moneys
drawn for personal use. A memoran-
dun of produce exchanged for grocer
les is also needed as no cash changes
hands in such cases.

Without in any way suggesting that
North Dakota has any hog cholera
within it's borders, nevertheless it is
timely to call attention to that axiom
of hog raisers that wherever hogs are
there also will be cholera, sooner or
later. Having this thought in mind
therefore it is suggested that every
precaution be taken by farmers to
practice that prevention is better than
cure. In three counties Of certain

includes both principal and interest,
so that the last payment extinguishes
the debt. This amount for loan of
$1,000 is $43.26 every six months, and
a borrower can pay part or the whole
of the principal at any interest paying
date. The plan follows closely along
the lines of the Credit Foncier of
France and is under the supervision Of
the state Of Illinois. The bank main
tains it's loaning ability by floating de-
benture bonds at five per cent from

CLAIM WINCHESTER
 STRIKE WILL SPREAD
Labor Leaders Declare Matters
 Are Developing

New Haven, Dec. Son the sur- face there appeared to be no material change in strike conditions at the plant of the Winchester Repeating Arms company today. Labor leaders who are here to assist in organizing the strikers into various unions made the clain, however, that matters are developing which will broaden the strike.
 General Organizer G. A. Doyle of the International Union of Machinists stated that a general demand for the eight hour day in place of the fifty five hour week was to be presented to the Winches company by the tool makers and machinists and if the re- ply was not favorable those crafts men were expected to walk out. MT. Doyle said that figures complied bv the several organizers point to about 900 persons on strike from the Win chester plant. He said that the com pany's claim that not more than 200 were out it is not borne out by facts. He said that the strikers include men employed in the adjusting, grinding, milling departments, and adjusters, primers, assemblers, reducers, ma- chinists and unskilled help.
 Wear Winchester Button.
 MT. Doyle said that the identity of persons who attend the strikers meetings cannot be mistaken as they wear the Winchester departmental button. He claimed that at the first meeting there were 195 present while the company claimed only eighty-six had gone. The number of electri- clans who have struck, he claimed, is forty. MT. Doyle said that as yet the organizers who have come here are not familiar with the class of help who have struck as they generally class themselves under the name of the superintendent of the particular department in which they are en- ployed. Meetings of strikers were held today. At noon addresses were made outside the Winchester plant by Organizer R. L. Hall of Boston, Vice President Jennings and General Or ganizer J. J. Egan, all of the machin- ists' union.
 The statement of the Winchester company today was to the effect that the number of strikers was not over 200. The claim was also made that the electricians who struck yesterday had made a request that they be per- mitted to return.
 Russian Under Detention.
 The Winchester company also stat ed that at it's request a Russian, John Spivak, aged eighteen, who had been employed in the plant for five months had been taken to police headquarters for observation as to his mental con- Gition. Spivak, it was claimed, had been acting irrationally and had been heard to make threats. Just what those threats were the company did not state.
 At police headquarters it was stat ed that John Spivak came there and was sent to the city attorneys office. At the latter place it was stated that Spivak asked as to his right to talk. He was told, it is understood, of the principle of free speech. So far as officials could see Spivak was all right. He departed from the city at torney's office, as there was no reason why he should remain.
