BURDENS LIFTED
From Dickinson Backs-Relief Proved
By Laps of Time.

DICKINSON BackS-Rellef Proved
By Laps of Time.
Backache is a heavy burden;
Nervousness, dizziness, headache.
Rheumatic pain; other ills,
All wear one out.
Often effects of kidney weakness.
No use to cure the symptoms,
Relief is but temporary if the cause
remains.
If it's the kidneys, cure the cause.
Doan's Kidney Pills n for kidney
ills
Here's proof of their merit from
this vicinity.
N. M. Danrot, carpenter, 511 Sew
enth St., Bismarck, N. D., says: II
confirm my former endorsement of
Doan's Kidney Pills given some years
ago. At that time l told how Doan's
Kidney Pills had cured me of pain in
my back and other symptoms of kid
ney complaint. l can now add that
I have been in good shape ever since
using this remedy"
I'rice SOC, at ali dealers. Don't

A card was recently received from
Mr.. and Mrs. James Birch, saying
that they arrived safely in Tacoma
after their 500 mile journey. They
were met at the train by their daugh-

All records for cold weather on the
coast are broken so the western pap
ers state. They had good skating for

wished to extend the seasons greet
ings to all their friends here.
Mrs. Margaret Dodd was a very
happy mother this Christmas, having
three of her children on hand for the

PHELAN SELLS AT MARMARTH
FORMER SHEEP GROWERS BUY

The biggest deal in the history of
Marmarth or this part of the state
was formulated last Saturday when
C. P. Allison and Frank DeKleinhans
of our village made the preliminary
arrangements for the purchase of the
entire Marmarth interests of Hon. J..
E. Phelan of Bowman.
The deal, when contaminated, will
include all of Mr.. Phelan's stock in
the First National Bank, the St.
Charles hotel, the four white cottages
which were built by him two years
ago and two other cottages and will
total up to some $65,000.
While MI. Phelan has made Bow
man his home, he has always been
greatly interested in the growth and
development of our village, and had
it not been for the confidence he has
himself shown and inspired in others,
Marmarth would not have attained
the same growth and stability which
she enjoys today. He is a man of
large affairs, and has had unusual
connections with eastern bankers of
note that has enabled him to go
ahead and do business where one with
less extensive connections might have
had more difficulty in financing a
town and country. He is a man, who
depends largely upon his own judg-
ment Of human nature; and while
this judgment has, in some instances,
made bitter enemies for him, it has
not often been in the wrong. He has
a wonderful clean record as a banker
and the Mail is only sorry that, in
stead of disposing Of his interests, he
did not become more personally inter-
ested here. He is.a man who is valu-
able to any community with which he
becomes allied.-Marmarth Mail.
w. W. Scott, who has been the
cashier and a director of the First
National Bank at Marmarth also in
charge Of j. E. Phelan's property at
that place, has resigned to become as
sistant. treasurer Of the Pioneer Life
Insurance Co. at Fargo.
Messrs. Allison and DeKleinhans
are old sheep growers and in early
days were among the people from
the southwest who marketed wool in
Dickinson.

GOVERNMENT SUPPLY OF TREES

GOVERNMENT SUPPLY or TREES
Information has reached the De-
partment of Agriculture that some
misunderstanding Of the scope and
purpose of the cooperative shelter
belt development work recently I'M
dertaken in connection with the
Northern Great Plains Field Station
at Mandan, North Dakota, appears to
have resulted from an announcement
recently issued by the Department
regarding that work. That announce
ment has evidently been understood
by some to mean that a general free
distribution of plant and tree materi-
al from the Mandan Field Station
was contemplated. This is not the
case. On the contrary, the number
of farmers with whom the Depart
ment can cooperate in this work will
necessarily be limited, both by. the
number of seedlings available and the
ability Of applicants to meet the De-
partment requirements regarding the
character and preparation Of the land
and the planting, cultivation, care and
| continued protection of the trees
against damage by live stock Of fire.
No general or indiscriminate dis
tribution of trees from the field sta
ton at Mandan is contemplated, nor
will material there be available for
use on town or village lots, or on
farms outside of the Northern Great
Plains area, which includes North AND
South Dakota west of the 1O0tE
meridian, and Montana and Wyom'
ing east of the 5,0OO-ft. elevation
above sea level.

AMIDON FARMERS ARE
PRODUCING THE GOODS

Herald:-Dave McCutchan, one of
don country, was a New England
in a load of grain to the local market.
Mr.. McCutchan had 100 acres of
wheat the past season which yielded
on an average of ten bushels to the
acre. His oats yielded at the rate Of
80 bushels to the acre and he had
over 1900 bushels. He had one Of the
best corn fields in his neighborhood.
Off from a field of some over Is acres
he picked over $50 bushels of corn.
This was Northwestern dent and he
believes that it yielded at the rate of
40 bushels to the acre.
The corn was gathered without
much labor. After picking off the
I45O bushels Mr.. McCutchan turned
his hogs into the field and they waxed
fat and healthy on the fine feed. Re-
Gently he marketed six hogs in Bel
field. The animals were IA months
old and averaged 3O6 pounds each.
Mr.. McCutchan believes in diversi-
flying and has great faith in cows and
hogs. He recently marketed a load
of cattle for which he realized $1,000.
It is just as cheap to raise blooded
stock-and much more profitable. He
sold a full-blood red Polled bull and
cow to T. F. Roberts a couple of
weeks ago for which he received $3.50.
Mr.. Roberts also s%pecializes in well
bred stock and has some of the finest
Pcrcheron horses in this part of the
state.
MIR. McCutchan has been very busy
this fall and has about 200 acres
ready to plant early next spring. A
number of farmers in the Amidon
country planted winter wheat the
past season. Mr.. McCutchan has rs
acres in this valuable crop. Speaking
of progressive farmers-they have
them in the Amidon country.
