Good Crop Showing.

Crop production in North
Dakota this year aggregates in
quantity about SO per cent
more than last year. Prices
on December 1 averaged 10 per
cent lower than year ago,
making total value of crop
production, on this basis, about
AZ per cent more than last year.
The estimates are tased upon
those crops whose values in the
last complete crop census re-
represented SO per cent on all
crops.
For the United States pro-
duction this year aggregates in
quantity about 8 per cent more
than last year. Prices Dec.
ember 1 averages 1 per cent
lower than year ago, making
a total value of crop production
en- this basis about eight per
cent more than last year; these
estimates are based upon crops
whose value in the last com.
plete crop census represented
80 per cent of the value of all
crops grown. and may be re-
ga arded as representative of all
crops.

Petitions directed to the
North Dakota representatives
in congress, opposing the ad-
ministration's preparedness
program, are being circulated
all over Bottineau county this
week. The petitions are being
signed practically unanimous
ly, indicating a distinct senti-
ment on the part of the North
Dakota farmer and business
men opposed to an increase in
ornaments.
Following is the title of the
petition, copies of which will
be sent to each member of the
North Dakota delegation in
Washington:
We the undersigned citizens
of Bottineau county, North
Dakota, oppose any increase in
the appropriations or expendi-
lures for the army and navy of
the United States and respect
fully petition that you will use
all energy within your power
in opposition thereto.

an immense success.

ried on in Ward county.
As result of the unqualified
success of this first venture it
has been decided to hold SINH
lar courses annually, future
meetings to be in charge of the
Boys Farming club. Con-
servative estimates place next
years enrolment at easily
double that of this years. 1t
is also planned to hold a corn
show in connection with next
years meeting.
That Bottineau county is de,
cidedly in the corn belt and
that the farmers have faith
therein is evidenced from the
fact that 81, 600 acres of corn
was planted in the county dur
ing the past season. In spite
of the admitted fact that corn
was a failure this year, pre-
dictions are that the acreage
for next year will be still great
er. 1t is significant that Botti-
neau was the only county in
the northern tier to score in
the state corn growing contest,
just concluded. Clayton Sims
of Willow City took fifth prize
in the northern section, pro-
'ducing twenty-five per cent of
mature corn on an acre.
Should next years corn crop
be a success Bottineau county
will, no doubt, set a high mark
for Northern corn, both in
acreage and yield.

BUY MUNITIONS
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Ammunition Trust Unable % Flll Orders
and Want 10 Repurehass Stocks
FvOm Dealers.

Minot, Dec. 21.-Letters have
been received by a number of
hardware dealers in this city
from the National Arms CON-
pany, offering to buy all the
stock of certain sized cartridges
carried bv the local firms at an
advance over the price which
the retailers paid for them.
The cartridges which the con-
Germ wants are the 5000, T.
milimeters. 80 40 and 303. As
these are the sizes used by the
several armies in Europe it is
evident that the manufacture
ing company is willing to pay
an advance over its own whole
sale prices in order to procure
sufficient material to fill the
European orders. 1t is further
evident that the cartridge
manufacturers of this country
are unable to supply the de-
mand for stock.
A letter of similar import
was sent to Ward county and
was. of course, delivered to
County Auditor Thompson.
Just why the National Arms
company thought the county
would have a supply of cart
ridges on hand is not appar-
ent. But the fact that the
letter was so sent, and proba-
bly, was sent to every county in
the United States, indicates
the urgency of the demand for
war munitions of the kind
sought.
Local dealers state that they
will not resell what stock they
have on hand. 1t is among
the possibilities that the stocks
now on the shelves of local
dealers will be about the only
sources of supply for the sports
men in this state next fall,
should the war continue.

INSTANT Death
FROM GUN SHOT
william Presley Accidentally Killed
By Bullet Through Head
From Small Rifle.

William Presley, aged twen-
ty, residing with his parents
on the Chas. Buchanan farm
northeast of BOttineau, was in
stantly killed Saturday even
ing, when a rifle he was hold
ing was accidentally discharg.
ed. The bullet entered the head
near the left eye and passed
clear through the skull, death
being instantaneous
The victim of the accident,
together with his father, was
preparing to 90 out hunting
rabbits and he brought two
guns, one shot gun and the
other a r. cal. rifle, from the
dining room into the kitchen,
carrying the two guns under
his arm. He had reached over
ONO the kitchen table for an
apple and had just taken two
bites out of the fruit when the
rifle was in some manner dis
charged.
The parenst are almost fran
tic with grief over the tragedy,
the father for a time being con-
fined to bed broken down with
grief. The family moved here
about a year and a half ago and
until recently lived on the
Armstrong piaC t near Bottin-
eau.
The funeral was held Mon
day afternoon, the remains be-
ing laid to rest in Oak Greek
cemetery, Rev. Nckelvey of
the N. +. church officiating.
