Many Reasons Why the Rchfeld Tract Should Have Ten
Times as Many Shade Trees Around Its Homes.

Now is the time to order and plant
those shade trees that you have intend

your farm or even your lot in town an
oasis. A few dollars spent for shade
trees now will increase the value of
your farm enough to mean at least 25
per cent on the money you spend for
them, besides increasing the total value
of the farm. There never was farm

Richfeld is to be "dry" next week,
according to the present schedule. The
one saloon license was renewed by the
county, for a year, and by the village
board for six months. The village au-
thorities renewed it for six months
after the first year was up, but refus-
ed to give it any further extension.
This time is up on Monday, March 9Th.
and under the law the place will close.
The precinct voted dry at the cleo
tion two years ago, and there is little
doubt that an election at the present
time would show at least two to one.

Flowing In Full Blast All Over
the Richfield Tract.

Flowing has begun in real earnest on
the Richfield tract. Out at Burmah H.
M. Coffman has already turned over
about 40 acres, M. J. Byrne has piow-
ed considerable acreage, and all over
there is evidence of busy fa ming oper-
atoms. AS grain is SO high this year
and promises to be high for at least an
other year, while the tract has never
yet raised enough grain to seed and to
seed itself, it is q fair guess that bet
ter acreage will be put out this season
than ever before.

probation of the role of Isadore
Lechat, in Octave Mirabeau's famous
French tragedy, fBusiness Is Bust

all who have seen it, is the film event
of the year. Full scope is given Nat
Goodwin for the exercise of power
over laughter and tears in this won

avails himself of his opportunities in

staggering millionaire, newly risen
to the estate of riches, he is convinc-

to the scarcity Of provisions, was
compelled to set out on the return
journey to land. The men had been
on the ice for nearly seven months.
The return to shore was accomplished
with great difficulty. The men sub
sisted on the most meagre rations, but
kept moving day after day. The dogs
were almost famished. Finally the
party arrived at Banks Land thor
oughly warn out. For seven months
they had been on scanty rations,
travelling almost continuously.
Stefansson and his companions
made their way from Banks Land,
which is uninhabited to the Bailey
Island, which is visited by whalers.
Captain Louis Lane, cruising on his
power schooner Polar Bear, found
Stefansson and his companions MAX
ing their way along the southwestern
coast of Bailey Island.
They were in excellent health and
spirits and eager to reach the South
ern wing of the expedition, that they
might obtain supplies and continue
their explorations.
Stefansson had expected to fall in
with the Polar Bear just as he did.
He Immediately chartered the schoon-
er and with Captain Lane proceeded
northward at once in the hope of
making further discoveries, while the
sea was open and free of ice. The
season was too far advanced, however
and the explorers reluctantly steered
for Hershe1 Island. The Polar Bear
was at Hershel Island when the power
schooner Ruby, which had been try
ing for two years to reach the Island
arrived there from Port Clarence with
supplies for the Hudson Bay COM
pany.
Immediately upon arriving at Her
shell Island, Stefansson began prep
arations for continuance of his explor-
atoms. He purchased the Polar Bear
for $4,000 from Captain Lane and
bought also the power boat Gladiator,
a small vessel engaged in trading
along the coast. After fully equipp-
ing these vessels, Stefansson sailed
with them for Banks Land where he
probably now is.
