UP FOR FORGERY

Wednesday night Sheriff Geo. J.
Brown landed J. A. Warbritten in Jail
on charge of forgery. He has been
a school teacher in Dunn county for
nearly, two years and was taken at
his boarding place, conducted by Mrs.
Anderson, four miles northeast Of
Hirschville. He is tall, slim fellow,
probably about 81 years Of age, and
states that he is from Indiana.
The forgeries were committed sew
eral weeks ago, three clothing firms
in Dickinson being victimized. one for
$24 and the others for smaller
amounts ,Warbritten signed his
name as Cecil Carlson and Wolverton,
using Farmers & Merchants State
bank checks. These checks were
dated December 26 and one for $26
was made out for the same date,
having the name Of Henry C. Helge-
son signed. Evidently Warbritter
lost this bad paper as it was picked up
by a trainman and handed to Sheriff
Brown. Helgeson is a farmer out
north of Taylor and banked at tie
Farmers & Merchants Warbritten
also had an account in the same bank,
drawing his balance of SIS on the day
of his arrest.
So far as known there is no Cecil
Carlson around here.

The concurrent resolution for a
Normal school at Dickinson passed
the House on Thursday, January 81,
by a vote of 80 to 9. It passed the
Senate last Thursday, January IA, by
a vote of SO to 7.
This is good news for everybody
living in southwestern North Dakota
and reflects much credit on the Stark
county delegation, Senator M. L. Nc
Bride, Representatives C. c. Turner,
H. J. Blanchard and Frank x. Wan
ner, and others who have been work
ing hard to secure the passage of the
Dickinson Normal school resolution.
President White, Secretary Orchard
and various members of the Dickin-
son Commercial Club, Supt. P. S.
Berg and Supt. c. E. Ward have also
given a great deal of valuable as
sistance in securing the passage OF
the Normal resolution.
It is presumed that Gov. L. B.
Hanna is favorable to the measure
and will sign the resolution within a
day or two.
The next step is the submitting OF
the measure to a vote of the people
in 1916. If successfully carried al
the polls, as it undoubtedly will pc
the following session of the legis'a.
ture will be asked to make the neces:
sary appropriation for buildings anc
maintenance.
Dickinson already has an option or
site of 80 acres south and east Of
the Young park. The park has ar
area of rs acres and if the Normal
site is finally selected here, will have
the benefit of the park land. Thi:
option is good until some time in
1917 which gives our people ample
time to decide upon the location after
the people have voted on the propo-
sition in 1916.

Dickinson citizens point to the vast
expanse of territory tributary to their
city as an argument in favor Of the
establishment Of the normal school
there. -
They are not talking about appro-

take care of itself when the proper
time arrives.

OF
rs FOR BISMARCK

The Commercial Club members
and business men to the number of
forty or more banquetted Wednesday
night at the Willard hotel and had a
most profitable session. After the
meal President White and Secretary
Orchard were chuck full of business
propositions which were taken up and
discussed in an informal way.
One of the important matters con-
sidered was the Red Line Trail from
,, the Atlantic to the Pacific. Fred W.
Turner, chairman of the committee,
spoke of the great Importance Of this
work. He had found that the Yellow
stone Trail workers from the Mil
waukee line were making an effort tc
absorb the Red Line which is known
in Washington as the Northwestern
Trail. To head off this movement it
was resolved to give the Red Line
through the Northern Pacific terri
tory the name of Great Northwest
ern Trail. However, this matter will
be taken up with the other important
Commercial Clubs Of the state.
It was Mr.. Turner's suggestion
that an effort be made to mark an
auto trail north via Manning, Killdeer,
Dunn Center, Halliday, ElbOWOods
and on to Minot and Williston. Like
wise it was proposed to mark trails
south to New England, Regent and
Mott, Hettinger,, Bowman, Amidon
and other important places. For the
work north w. L. Richards, Robert
Wilcox and E. A. Lillibridge were
appointed as managers; south Fred
Maser, p. H. Rumble and w. r.
Everett, Fred w. Turner to act as
ex-officio member Of both committees.
An effort will be made to get a
delegation of at least rs business men
to represent Dickinson at the feder-
alton of Commercial Clubs and trail
workers at Bismarck on the ,28th.
The city should be largely represented
at these important meetings and
from present indications not less than
rs will journey to Bismarck next
Thursday.
Dickinson needs some rural mail
routes, having none at the present
time. The matter was discussed and
an effort will be made to get routes
both north and south. The discon-
tinuance Of New Hradec postofice 10
miles northwest was also discussed
land an effort will be made at once to

BY WONDERFUL REMEDY
Gets Appetite and Comfort Back After
Taking First Dose,

T. A. Hensley Of Alvarado Texas,

liver was inactive and he was in pain

He took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy,
From the very first dose it brought
swift results. He wrote:

peas oats, vetch, crimson clover and
soy beans should constitute the princi-
pal forages used. During the fall and
winter permanent pastures can be
used. Even regular fields Of winter
wheat and barley can be pastured
without injury to them.
When pasture is not available feed
hay or fodder to the flock. Keep up
the appetites of the ewes by adding
small quantities of rape, collards,
chopped cabbage, or roots along with
the hay. Do not feed roots to your
rams or wethers.
Begin feeding the ewes little grain
about two weeks before lambing and
gradually increase the amount to one
half pound daily at that time. After
lambing, slowly increase the amount
to one and one-half to two pounds
daily, and continue this ration during
the sucking period. Ewes need not
be grained when dry If good pasture
is provided.
Give the ram just enough grain to
keep him in good condition. The
amount fed should be increased dur
ing the breeding season.
Teach the lambs to eat grain as
soon as possible after birth, and con-
tinually feed them what they will eat
clearly until ready for the market.
Feed them twice daily, using creepss
to keep out the ewes.
The following grain ration, general
| ly available on the farm, Is suitable
for sheep: Corn, two parts by weight;
cottonseed meal, one part by weight.
Probably August and September are
the best months for mating, as this
will bring your lambs In January and
February. Do not leave the ram with
the ewes continually, but take the
ewes to him for few minutes each
morning. Allow only one service to a
eve during each period of heat, but be
certain that the eve gets in lamb be-
fore dropping breeding operation.
Watch the ewes carefully during the
Landing season, but do not interfere
with them unless necessary. After
lambs are born, see that they are
promptly dried and sucked. Frequent.
ly ewes disown their lambs unless
forced to nurse them.
Give the ewes little, If any, grain
ration for two or three days after
Landing. At the expiration of this
time it can be gradually given her
until the full ration Is reached.
In small f1ocks the fleeces can be
most economically removed by using
hand shears After the sheep is shorn

in with old>boards, poles or any other
fence-building material, provided it is
so built as to keep the dog from
crawling through.
Often ewes become 'taggy" or have
dungy locks collect on the wool about
the tail and between theZhind legs.
Such locks should be cut off and the
ewes kept clean about this part Of the
body.
Ticks and lice frequently infect
sheep. Guard against this by dipping
once each year in dips sold for this
purpose A rain barrel or tub can be
used to hold the dip. Pick the sheep
up bodily and work it around gradu-
ally in the dip until all parts are sub
merged and drenched to the skin.
Keep salt before the flock at all
times. Sheep require a great deal of
salt and 1t is essential for them.
Give the sheep access to all har-
vested and vacated fields, but do not
depend entirely upon such forages.
The ideal way is to provide lots of for
ages of such size as will pasture the
focks for only two-week periods dur.
