S|LAGE FED STEERS
ARE PROFITABLE

The silage fed steers from the w.
J. Motley farm on Antelope creek r
attracting a great deal Of attention
and the beef from these animals at
the Berringer market is certainly as
fine as can be found in the cor
growing states east. In December
two carloads of steers were put on
silage feed at the Motley lots and the
gain that they have made is surpris-
ing. One steer dress $50 pounds, and
seven head taken out for slaughter
the past week averaged a little better
than 14OO pounds live weight. All of
these steers are less than three years
old.
The steers are weighed up as they
are taken from the feed lots and the
ones taken out this week cost the buy
er $1O5 per head.
The Berringer market placed a car
load of steers with Henry Moldenhour
in the winter and these also came out
in fine shape this spring.
w. j. Motley & Son have two
silos at the farm, and If more farm
ers would equip their places in this
way there would never be a scarcity
of choice beef cattle at any season Of
the year.

ELK HOME COMING
CARNIVAL Of FUN
BIG WEEK FOR DICKINSON ELKS
JULY GIL. SHOWS GALORE,
AIR SHIP, BALL GAMES,
BIG INITIATION.
Local Lodge Hosts to All Missouri
Slope. Alces Club Plans to En-
terrain Visiting Ladies.

"The Elk Carnival" is the topic
one hears on every side and July 6 to
II will see the city of Dickinson filled
to overlooking with jolly Elks, their
wives, daughters, sisters, sweethearts
and friends Everybody is corning
and everybody will have the time of
their lives for the Dickinson Elks
never do anything by halves.
All down Front, or Willard, street
will be the carnival attractions-ff-
teen shows, requiring IN army of en-
ployees and carrying three bands, a
menagerie, a fine horse show, a motor
drome, where two autos race on a
perpendicular wall, etc. The c. A.
Workman attractions have to be seen
to be appreciated. And they are not
seen in any second-class towns. They
don't go there.
The many people who watched the
graceful flights Of the bird man last
year will be on hand again and every
body who didn't will be on hand for
the carnival this year.
A series of snappy ball games will
also prove a drawing card for this
gala week.
A little while ago the local lodge
set the high water mark for mem
bership at 500. They have already
passed that number and will have a
class of fully fifty to initiate "Home
Coming" week, which will help make
things pleasant for somebody if not
for the candidates.
The Alces club, Mrs. M. L. Mcbride
president, is making plans for the
elaborate entertainment of visiting
ladies. To secure funds they are Civ
ing a dance in the Elk hall next Tues
dav evening, June Is. The Elks have
a meeting on that night and a large
attendance at both lodge and dance is
expected.
The general Elk committee having
the big celebration in charge are:

NEEDS MORE MEN
BELOW STANDARD

Dickinson's military company needs
more men. If the company is worth
having at all, it must be recruited up
to the strength prescribed by the war
department-65 enlisted men and
three officers.
Williston and Minot have this num-
Der. as we'll as other towns in the
western part of the state. Why not
Dickinson? If the business men
would take a little nor interest in
this organization and urge the young
men in their employ to enlist, the COM
pany would soon have a waiting list.
All old members of Company K
are urged to make a special effort to
interest young men to enlist. Those
old members who have served three
years or more can re-enlist for a one
year term. All new enlistments are
for a three year period.
The annual camp comes soon-July
9th-and Dickinson doesn't want to
send a company that she will be
ashamed of.

Why Darts Penetrate.

The steel darts which are being
dropped from hostile aeroplanes are
capable, it is said. of penetrating a
piece of teak one inch thick, the Pail
Mall Gazette remarks. In all probable
ity this is undertaking their effective
ness, for the acceleration due solely
to the action of the earths gravity
would cause the dart to arrive ON the
ground at a high rate of speed. AS
Stunning it to be released 5000 feet
above the earth-lower than which
the aviator runs the risk Of being
brought down-it would be travelling
at nearly six hundred feet a second
at the earth's surface. or at more than
a quarter of the speed at which bull
let leaves the British service rifle.

Rulings on Queer Wills.

The courts, writes Robert E. Helm

been asked to pass upon many strange
and mysterious beliefs as affecting
testamentary capacity; for instance.
belief in degrees of happiness in flu

on the amount of property possessed
here and the charitable purposes to
which it is devoted: belief in the doc
trine of metempsychosis. or the pass
ing of the souls of men after death
into animals, belief that a departed
person to whose picture the testator
talked held the keys of the kingdom"
and could hear and understand what
was said to him, and belief on the
part of an Englishman who had en-
braeed the Hindu and Mohammedan
faiths that he and God were one, that
he was next to God and was a second
prophet-all of these and many more,
as to some of which the words of Po-
lonius to Hamlet are true. that though

and planting gay flowers that make
the window charming both inside

cover the soil, and OH be careful to

or two colors rather than an inartis-

Many years ago arboriculture received

been manifold. and the outlay of
money was nothing when compared
with the benefits obtained.
But in the South arboriculture has
been appraised at its true value only
IN recent years. Some Of the old
southern cities were famed for their

FrankinG Privilege.

Suit TO recover $500 postage alleged
to have been lost 10y the Postoff1ce De-

~ Glance" were mailed under the
Senatorial ranking privilege. was filed
in the District Supreme Court yesterday
by the United States against Truman
90 Palmer. secretary of the United States
Feet Sugar Industry.
It is alleged that the United States
Beet Sugar Industry compiled data con-
tanned in charts used by Senator Lodge

were compiled for the benefit of the beat
sugar industry. and that the $3.50 repre-
sents the postage, at eighteen cents for
each pamphlet, which would have had to
be paid.
