CLERK OF COURT REPORTS

Report of the Clerk of Court of
Stark County of business done in his
office during the last six years:
Judgments entered in the years
1854 64S; in 1911-12 4O7; in
1909-1O 258.
In the years of 1884 there were
Ala civil cases filed; in 1911-12 1873 and
in the years 1909-10 there were only
ZIG.
The number of criminal cases de-
creased in the last two years. There
were in 1884 GO, in 1911-12 81 and
in 1909-1O rs.
All moneys collected in this office
that have to be turned in to the
treasury are as follows:
1914, $~2,963.25; in 1911-12,
$2,30S.5o; in l909-1o, $1,6s2.50.

business in this office and also quite
in increase in work, as all the other

portion the same increase, with the
exception of citizenship papers.
Citizen papers have decreased in
numbers but the work on these has
increased as the government is get
ting stricter every year regarding

WOLF BOUNTY FUND SHORT

Carl Jorgenson, state auditor, has
at present over $4,000 worth of I'M
paid wolf bounty certificates in his
office which can not be paid on &C.
count of lack of funds.
Jorgenson states that in January,
1911, it was found that there had ac-
cumulated a large surplus in the
Wolf Bounty fund from the levy made
for this purpose by the legislature.
Accordingly $4,000 was transferred
to the general fund.
The legislature then proceeded to
reduce the levy to 1-20 Of a mill as
it had been. The present levy only
yields about $4,000 a year so that it
will be a number of years before the
present claims al be paid.
Jorgenson will ask that the $4,000
transferred by the last legislature to
the general fund be transferred back
to the wolf bounty fund so that the
accumulated certificates can be paid.
1t will also be recommended to the
governor that the rate be increased
from 1-2O of a mill to 10 in order
to produce more revenue for this
fund.

OF ALFALFA sErn

The farmer who is to make . s,,.
cess of his alfalfa crop must a;ss.
careful attention to the seed which he
plants. There is much difference h.
tween the health and nature Of n1.nt.
as there is between the health onJ
strength of. human beings and -
strong healthy seed, one which is a.
climated to North Dakota must h.
used by state farmers.
In North Dakota it is very essen+;o,
to plant a hardy variety of alfalfa
The best variety in this resnaot
known at the present time is uno,es.
tionably the Grimm, and whenever
seed of this variety can be obtained
for a reasonable price it should bo
used. Be sure, however, that it ia
Grimm and not California or South
ern European alfalfa m~asqueradinp
under the name Of Grimm. Seed
from western South Dakota or Mon-
tana, if it comes from fields which
have stood the rigors of winter for p
period of ten years or more, will likelv
be satisfactory in North Dakota. The
seed from a southern variety, how
ever, if grown in South Dakota or
Montana for a year or two, would
not be satisfactory to SOW in North
Dakota. Suppose it costs five dollars
an acre to sow hardy alfalfa, and but
one dollar an acre to sow California
alfalfa; whenever a test winter comes
the hardy alfalfa will go through in
good condition and the California al
falfa would be eliminated. This.
means that an extra four dollars per
acre for seed insures the alfalfa
against winter destruction. If the
field is to continue for but four years,
this is a cost Of one dollar per acre
a year. Hardy seed can be obtained
at the present time for about one
fourth this price. Under such cir
~cumstances, it is using poor business
judgment to seed any alfalfa of
doubtful hardness.

the building gives entrance, to an
|ante-room, cut off from the main
room and a like ante-room is to the
right of the altar for the use of the
priests, etc.
The pictures of the fourteen sta
tons of the o are framed in an
tique carved oak. A statuette of St.
Thomas, the Divine, stands in an ap-
propriate niche in the center of the
main altar. This statuette was the
gift Of of the Fathers from the
Abbey at Richardton.
The ceiling of the audience room is
steel, in a very appropriate design
and is painted a light lead color. The
side walls Of the building are plast-
cred and tinted a very light CHINA
mon brown, which is in harmony with
the stained woodwork and seats of the
building.
The firm of Bayer & Lob Co. were
the contractors and builders. The
edifce cost the parish $4,000, max
ing the total expenditure about
$500 all told.
The building committee that con-
sumated this really valuable addition
to the social and religious community
of Gladstone have their reward in
the knowledge that they were diligent
in their undertaking and can point
with pride to their skill and good
judgment.
The committee were: Father Bas-
silius, chairman, Peter Kersch, Sec
rotary, John Kampf, treasurer, Peter
Simon and John Bohem.

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES

The Public Library Of Dickinson is
open from 200 to $50 in the after
noon and 700 to 900 in the evening
every week day; it is also open on
Saturday from 900 to 1900 q. M,
and on Sunday afternoons from 200
to $50.
Beginning next Monday, January
18th, the Public Library will start the
circulation Of some books of music.
The collection consists Of the complete
vocal scores of eight popular operas
and the Laurel Song Book which con
tains many of our best songs. The
operas are:
"The Prince of Pilsen," "The Red
MILL" "Woodland," "Burgomaster,"
"The Pink Lady," III. M. S. Pinafore,"
"Mlle. Modesto" sThe FREELY"
Two cents a day rental will be
charged for each of these books. This
is the first music collection in a pub
lie library in the state and therefore
somewhat of an experiment. The
idea al suggested by the great in
terest in music among the people in
Dickinson.
Because of the large number of
magazines taken by the library,
people have often been obliged to
hunt some time for the one they
wished to see. In order to make it a
simpler task to find a desired maya
zine, an alphabetical list of them has
been posted on the side Of the rack
and beside the name of each is the
number above which it may be found.
Some time ago the library sub
scribed to the magazine, "Human
Life" publication of which was dis
continued before the subscription ex-
pired. Beginning with the December
number the "Woman's World" will
come to the library until the equiva-
lent of the remainder of that sub
scription has been filled.

PLAZA MAN LIKES PRESS
Plaza, N. D., January 2, 1914

To the Press:
Enclose find check for which send
me the Dickinson Press. I like to
read what is going on down there as
l lived at Antelope for about eight
years and always had the paper. But
since I moved to Plaza last October
l have not had it. I always had good
crops at Antelope. Last fall I raised
5,10O bushels of wheat from 300 acres
and 2,4O0 bushels of oats from 40
acres. They had good crops up here,
my brothers oats went 70 bushels to
the acre. L. F. Scheie, who used to
live at Antelope, lives about three
miles from me and had a good crop.
My homestead is about three and a
half miles from Plaza so I am not
far from town. The land is quite
level all around here and one can see
for miles. There is a shack on every
quarter. I bought a quarter a little
while ago so have a half section now.
I intend to break about 200 acres and
SOW to flax. Will have to hire it
done as I have only four horses.
Must close.
Yours truly,
HERMAN J. FISCHER.

ST. THOMAS CHURCH
ADDITION TO GLADSTONE

The day set for the dedication of
st. Thomas church at Gladstone
proving stormy and disagreeable,
Bishop Wehrle postponed the cere-
mony until Easter.
The church of St. Thomas the
Apostle in Gladstone is finished and
it is a fine addition to the little vii
lage.
This church was built on the north
side Of the N. P. Ry. by the Congre-
gational society in the year 1884-1885.
The Congregational society sold
the edifice to the Roman Catholic
people some ten or twelve years ago
and they made substantial additions
thereto and occupied it for a number
of years when unfortunately lightn-
ing struck the bell tower and the
building became a total loss beyond
repair.
After the laps of a few years the
people desired to have a new build
ing, and they purchased the beauti-
full lot on which the new edifce now
stands, on the bank of Heart river
in block No. 20, nearly opposite the
Consolidated school house.
The building is constructed of wood
after a very pleasing. plan, with a
spire in complete harmony with the
general construction. The dimensions
are as follows: The building is 80
by so feet outside measurement, 16
feet in height; the spire or bell tower
is 8 by 8 feet, Sc feet to top of cross
that surmounts it. The building will
seat 200 people and a gallery across
the entrance end of the church will
seat at least 40 people. This gallery
is for the choir and Nicholas Wenze]
has presented the congregation with a
good organ. The bell, which is a fine
toned one, was the donation Of John
Reilly. It cost $4O0 laid down in
Gladstone, freight paid.
There are four windows in the
main part of the building on either
side; on the front in the first story oil
the spire, are the double doors Of en-.
trance; above, in the second story, il
an oriole window, lighting the story
