Bismarck, May l2.-That there is
movement of settlers from Canada
and that the towns along the north
ern part of the state are going to

tiers recently received by R. F. Flint,
commissioner of agriculture. F. w.

"back to North Dakota" movement to
a marked extent. He says that dur
ing the time of the Canadian rush
there were many vacant houses in
Kenmare and number of vacant
farms in that vicinity, but that re-
Gently the farms have been taken
up and are occupied and that there is
not house for rent in Kenmare
and that many people who decide to
move there are unable to do so on
account of lack of accommodations
Other towns along the northern part
of the state are sending in the same
sort of reports.

MINOT IS A BAD PLACE
FOR A MAN OF MONEY

Minot, N. D., May 13.-Held up
at the point of a gun and robbed Of
SITS, the money that he had saved to
start farming in North Dakota, J. E.
Thorson, of Duluth, was attacked at
1915 o'clock last night by a man
who pretended to be police officer.
Thorson was en- route with a car
of household goods and farm machin-
cry for McGregor, N. D., where he
planned to start farming. AS he was
walking along the Great Northern
yards in the eastern part of the city
he was accosted by a man who said
that he was a police official. The sup
posed patrolman asked Thorson for
his shipping contract. Thorson show
ed him this, and the would-be official
handed it back to him.
Just at this moment the assailant
pulled gun and stuck it in Thorson's
face, saying: Hands up" Thorson
says that the man had the drop on him
and held up his hands. The man went
through his pockets, getting SITS.
Thorson Immediately reported the
robbery to the police officials who are
now on the trail of the assailant.
Thorson is unable to give a clear de-
scription of the man, and for this
reason the officials are somewhat
handicapped in their search for the
offender

Former Normal Girl Wins
High Praises for Her Con-
duct of High School Do
nestle Science Department

A scientifically prepared dinner,
toothsome and dainty and withal econ
0mical, tickled the palates and great
ly pleased the school trustees and city
aldermen and their wives down in
Greenwood, Miss, recently, according
to the newspaper accounts emanating
from the southern community.
The occasion mentioned is of inter
est to many local people when it Is
known that the dinner referred to was
served by the students in the domestic
science department of the Greenwood
high school, where the teacher is Miss
Ida Ratzlaff, a graduate of the domes-
tic science department Of the Valley
City Normal school and whose home Is
near this city.
The writer devotes fully column
of matter to the occasion, in which he
lays emphasis on the fact that an
elaborate dinner was served to IS per-
sons at an actual cost of only Sc, and
mentions among other things, "The
importance of the domestic science
department was in great evidence to
those present. It showed what dainty
and wholesome meals can be served
so economically.
1T was also noticeable what due re-
gard is given to food value. One Of
the great questions of the day is the
high cost of living. Certainly food
stuffs occupy a very important part in
this expense. For our girls to under
stand the art of proper selection of
foods, as we'll as economical service,
will be very useful to them.
1--WE cannot recommend too highly
the excellent work of the young ladies
mentioned who assisted in serving,
also the fine service given in this de-
partment by Miss Ida Ratzlaff. We
wish to congratulate the school trus-
tees and the principal of the public
schools for perfecting this depart
ment to it's present standard"

UNEARTH INDIAN THAT
HAS LONG BEEN DEAD

Sherbrooke Tribune: This Indian
has been good" some time His, or
her. spirit fed this vale of tears for
the happy hunting grounds" perhaps
so or go years ago. His or her tribes
men probably buried the remains &C.
cording to the customs and laws of
that day and now along comes r. E.
Anderson, narrowing his oat field, and
drags out the old brown skull. The
skull was broken, as though it had
been cut in two and turned up by the
plow this spring. A search was made
for the grave and the remainder of the
skeleton but it could not be found.
The spot where the skull was found
was near the highest point of land on
the T. G. Anderson homestead on land
which had been used for pasture up
to few years ago. When we were
kids, the finder Of the skull and Eye
editor" used to roam over that pas
ture with an old spade and dull post
auger and dig, in likely looking spots,
for Indian graves. We had heard that
trinkets and implements were buried
with the Indian dead and we wanted
to investigate. This skeleton lodged
us for twenty years and then all we
found was the skull. Although plain
ly the skull of an old person, all but
the front teeth remain in the upper
part of the skull and are in perfect
condition.
