On Monday. April 9TH. there were two
dances in town. Both were well at
tended and an enjoyable time was had
by all.

hall and bowling alley formerly operdt-
ed by Peter Fischer. They will buy
cream in connection.
Jacob Lang and Theo. Brenner. Of
Linton. were here Sunday having
brought couple of gentlemen to invoice
the Wellcs Thompson lumber yard.
No better evidence of the prosperity of
our ncighborhood could be produced
than the increase reported by the local
or Hague State Bank. The year ending
April lst, shows an increase OF exactly
s5OO0O.OO over the deposit of April !,
1914. The growth of the bank Is
source OF qualification to its officers and
it is unquestionably true that in point
of deposits and amount Of cash reserve
this bank has meritorions position in
the front rank in the county. More than
a fair sh are of this phenomenal showing
is due to the effort Of Fl. B. Zenk, the
genial, able and efficient cashier. and
his worthy assistants, w. lsaak and ia
cob VoIk. From April !, 1912, to April
|, 1914, deposits increased 100000.

Again we carry communication
from Commissioner Flint. of the
state agricultural department. In
the former issue he touched upon
the matter of writing letters to
friends back east" and the news
papers there telling them of the re-
sources of North Dakota and the
chances for getting ION ones feet"
here. Now, another matter of near
ly equal Importance is touched up
on; the necessity fer accurate and
complete answers to the questions
of the assessor when he comes
around this year for from those
answers will be compiled the census
and related matter. Here is MIR.
Flint's letter:
During the month of April the as
SCISSOR will call upon the taxpayers.
and this is the year in which he
gathers the statistics which are tab
ulated and reported to the governor
They constitute the official statistics
of the state and receive the widest
possible publicity that the state gov
eminent can give them.
1t is of vital Importance to the
farmer that he understands this pro-
proposition. for instead of these
figures working against him, hey
are his only protection against the
Spectator who arranges his figure!
to suit himself, and which might
work against the farmer. If the far

unreliable, then his cause and thu

| Commissioner Flint. of the agri
cultural department., is guarding
the interests of both the farmer ant
the state, and is out with the re
quest that all farmers, for their owl
good, if nothing more, get as nea
to the exact figur as possible VIII a
the assessor calls.
The same applies to those in tn
cities and villages who are engages

Willard Johnson Fight Returns.

Local people "chipped in" Mon
day and took the complete press re-
port of the Willard.Johnson cham
pionship pugilistic hattie at Havana,
Cuba, just as the Aberdeen Amer
lean received them. The American
made no charge for the service, but
the telegraph company received
two-lbirds of cent per word. AS
there was some three thousand
words, it was neat little toll.
The fight by rounds, with the
usual preliminary "dnpe." etc.,
was posted on the windows of the
furniture store and good share Of
the townspeople spent the afternoon
watching the information which
finally ended with the defeat of the
negro champion and the substitution
of Jess Willard, the Kansas cowboy,
as worlds heavyweight champion.
Some little money changed hands
locally, the odds being on johnson.
However, the popular opinion that
johnson would win coupled with the
fact that odds were asked to place g
bet on Willard kept that end of the
sport we'll down.

he underwent several trials for man
slaughter arising from the methods
he was supposed to have pursued in
his medical practice. On March

of twelve men found him guilty of
such charge. Following closely on
that event came the third trial OF
Clark and Crockard at Bismarck be-
fore the Federal court and a noted
effort to put them out of business
came to close with their acquittal
In the second trial they we're con-
victed and sentenced to heavy fine
and two years each in the Federal
prison at Leavonworth which verdict
was later set aside by higher court
and new trial ordered. Jurors
who convicted the men in that sec
