Engineer C. D.. Litch returned on
Monday from St. Paul, where he had
been a week with his wife. Instead
of coming home on the 18th as
planned, Mrs. Litch had another oper-
alton. Miss Emma Christensen, who
had been expecting to return with the
Litches, came home the last of last
week. .>.{ =
Mr.. and Mrs. J. C. Gardner, who
own the Ralph Buckley farm ,5h miles
west of the city, have 100 acres Of
wheat this year and are looking
for an average yield of Is bushels
or more. Their grain was being
stacked the past week. These people
came out from Iowa three years ago
and seem we'll satisfied with their new
home.
Mrs. Josh Fisher was pleased Mon
day to get her valuable necklace back
which had been removed from her
home on Second Avenue West early
the week before. The article was
mailed to Josh Fisher in a plain
box early Monday morning, no mark
being left on the wrapper to indicate
the sender. The disappearance of the
jewelry is still clothed in mystery.
Anton Kubischta commenced thresh-
ing the first of the week. He has
ITO acres and expected to get 20
bushels of grain to the acre. The
Kubischtas have their W threshing
rig and were at work on the fathers
farm south of Dickinson last week.
The durum wheat averaged 26 bushels
and common wheat from ~ to II
bushels.
Harry B. Quick, the Walker Bros.
& Hardy Co. salesman, and Harry
Barwind, a grocery salesman, came in
late Tuesday evening from New Eng
land and were quickly seated at one
of Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Hughes tables
in the Grill, where they satisfied their
hunger. Mr. Quick, formerly a clerk
in the Dickinson u. S. land office, is
now a member of his firm and reports
a growing business. He was making
Manning, Medora, Beach, Amidon,
Bowman, Hettinger and Mott the
past week, going in and out of Dick
inson for the various trips.

WONDERFUL POTATOES
Westerlo, Sept. 21st, 191

Westerlo, Sept. 21st, 1915.
Friend Ayers:
Find the potatoes herewith that I
spoke of when l was in your sanctum
last week.
Speaking of them, I must suppose
they are different from most white
potatoes in the matter of their keep
ing quality.
They are a good potato to plant
early and are quite as early as the
early rose or the early Ohio. They
have always out yielded either of the
named varieties with me and I believe
it is quite possible that they are a
new variety, as I raised them from
the seed-ball in 1907 for the first
time and have continued to raise
some Of them ever since. AS you see,
they are as near destitute of eyes as
they can we'll be, so much so that
only the seed end in the average po-
tato affords the seed. However, the
keeping quality is the main excellence
of the tuber as they are as good to
cook as they look, but this is saying
much, for they are the handsomest
potato that I ever saw. They grow
the most uniform of any potato that
I yer saw and I cherish them as they
are hardy and above all are BUG
PROOF. The vines are a little differ
emit from any vines I have ever seen
must be seen to know what the differ
ence is.
Respectfully yoRrs,
C. S. CRYNE.

A TRIP TO WONDERLAND
FROM PEN OF IOWA MAN

A writer in the Times, published at
Northwood, Iowa, a few weeks ago,
has this to say about the country out
this way:
Wonderland seems to me a suitable
name for some parts of North Da-
kota I visited in July and August,
especially about Antelope and vicin-
lty. l went out to see some of my
children, who are scattered out over
the north and west. I found many of
them, and all were 20. X"
On July 16 I arrived at Antelope,
Julia and family all in the best of
health and spirits. They have 4S0
acres OF rich, good prairie land. Half
of it is seeded this year. and they
have the finest crop I ever saw.
Antelope is one of the best grain
stations on the Northern Pacific in the
state. Here are many wonders! The
land is rich and good and can pro-
duce a very nice crop of grain every
year when the weather is suitable for
it; but the wild grass is both short
and thin, the winter being hard on it
l suppose. The wild grass is very
rich; the animals eat it and can be
fattened on it fine. There will be,
good water in one well and may be
bad in several neighboring wells.
Specimens of petrified wood are found
whereabouts, fragments of big stumps
and logs changed to stone or flint.
There the summers and winters
snuggle close up to each other and
you will some times get all you want
of either and more too in a single
hour. When the sun is shining bright
this time of year then it is very hot;
but If a cloud passes beneath the sun
then you will also feel a cool breeze
too. :
August 10, II and IL I was at the
homestead of my son, Gustav, in Kid
der county, N. D. Gustav has done
very well there; has proved up on
his land, cleared off some hundreds Of
loads of stone and broken up lis
acres, all of which is in crop this
year. On the Goth of June q hail
storm had cut down the early seeded
grain, but the most of it started from
the root again so he has hopes of get
ting an ordinary good crop yet. The
land around Gustav Grefthen's is
billy and has a good deal of stone,
but the soil is good, both for grain
and grass and the land is web fit for
the live stock business. 4
To the young men in the over
stocked old settlements I would say:
Marry your best girl, and 60 out to
the Northwest and get you a piece Of
good land and be a prosperous farm
err! The chances are there by thous-
ands. Respectfully, &

EneIand's Most Famous Bell.

In 1858 the world famous bell Big
Ben" which peals out the hours In the
tower of the Westminster houses of
parliament in London, was turned out
OF the mold. Big Ben" was named
after Sir Benjamin Hall, commissioner
OF works, who was man of enormous
stature. The great sounding instru
ment was formally christened est
Stephen" but from the first 1t was
popularity called Big Ben" The bell
was designed by e. Il. Denison. who
later became Lord Grimthorpe. The
first attempt to mold the bell was
failure. and it was broken up, and the
same material, twenty-five parts cop
per and seven tin, was used in the sec.
ond casting at Whitechapel. Big
Ben" weighs thirteen and half tons,
is nineteen feet and six inches in di-
ameter and seven feet and ten inches
In height. The clapper weighs COO
pounds. Big Ben" cracked shortly
after he was hung in place. but his
tones, previously somewhat mournful
and dirgelike, were improved by the
accident.

FRENCH IN FURTHER
ADVANCE IN ALSACE
War Office at Berlin Admits
Success Of Foe.

Paris, June 23.-Further advances
by the French in the invasion of AL.
SAGE are announced in the official
communicates. After the capture OF
Metzeral the French moved eastward,
north and south of the village, driv-
ing the Germans to the east bank of
the Fecht. The success of this oper.
alton is admitted by the German war
Office according to the official state
ment issued in Berlin which has beer
telegraphed here from London.
Apparently the Germans have aban.
doned the town of Sondernach on the
southern branch of the Fecht, few
miles south of Metzeral. In this re.
gion the French reports tell of heavy
fighting and the capture of three ma
chine guns.
The heavy artillery of the French
has located the German gun which
had been bombarding Dunkirk at
long range and efforts are now being
made to put the piece out of action
