MUCH STOCK SHIPPED

The results OF an Investigation
made by the North Dakota Deve-
lopmcnt Press Bureau of Crane
Forks show that more than a full
train load nf livestock is shipped
from the northern part Of tho
state each week TO the st. Pau
markets. AS the stock supply i'
the eastern part of the state is
large. il is expected tha: the ship
mcnts will increase during tho
winter.
To promote the stock industry
the Great Northern Railroad ha>
furnished tn" stock men with
special stock train which is opcr-
ated each Sunday. TIL" train now
average hanut fifty ears and "Gu-
ippcI with a coach for tl" con-
vrniencr of tn" shippers.
Because of ihe large shipments :
to the st. PAIL market. increased
enthusiasm has hean aroused in
the Northern Packing Compan" at
Grand Forks. With the estab-
lishment of tn" plan in Grand
Forks if is expected that all the
stock now being shipped to st.
Paul will be consumed in the
state.

NATIONAL SUFFRAGE SPEAKER
SPEAKS At CITY HALL

Last Friday evening at the City
Hall Mrs. Benedict of Denver, Coz.
gave an interesting discourse on
equal suffrage.
Mrs. Benedict is on a speaking
tour thru North Dakota, assisting
the local workers in raising tn"
necessary campaign fund.
The three vital things that op-
pose Womcn's Suffrage is vice,
ignorance and indifference and as
vice is spending thousands of dol
lars to defeat the measure, the
suffragists are making an effort
to win i'm spite of it.
: Mrs. Benedict quoted a few
statistics which perhaps was an
cy"-opener to- some people.
|, She said: "El the year of 1912
when one of tho most hOtly con-
tested presidential elections wer"
held. less then 65 per cent of the
men of the United States voted"
In Illinois this year more then
95 per cent of the women voted
lat the polls.
Mrs. Benedict is a fluent and
convincing speaker and one of
these sweet womanly women
whom we all enjoy meeting.
Success is sure to- follow where
she leads the way.

SLOPE FARMERS PROSPEROUS

No hard time are being evidenc-
ed in the Slope Country, according
TO reports that come into the
North Dakota Development Leag-
ue Press Bureau office in Grand
Forks. The reports indicate
that there is more money i'm cir
culation in the western part Of
the state than ever before. in its
history: there is very healthy
demand for land upon the part Of
our own farmers, and many ex-
tensive improvements are being
made.
Papers have been full Of rust
reports in the state. This talk
does not seem to effect the people
in the state near as much as il:
seems to affect these in other
sections -of the country. There
is not a farmer in the Slope
Country that is not going around
without smile on his face and
seems to be we'll pleased with the
results of his crop.

The Lake Region Fair and Fest
ival was decided success from
start to finish, according to in
formation given the North Dakota
Development League Press Bure-
au at Grand Forks. A larger
crowd than has ever before at
tended the fair was witnessed in
the city this year. The speciality
of this fair was the live stock eX-
'hibit, and included horses, cat
tile, sheep and hogs.
While the grain exhibit was 'ot
what it was last year, on account
of the bad crops this year, it was
more than was expected by the
management; of the festival. The
wheat exhibit was exceptionally
good and the corn exhibit was one
of the best ever seen. One "f
| the chief vegetable exhibits was
the potato show. There was an
extra fine display of tubers.
Aside from The Lake Region
fair ther was school exhibits
and exhibit from Fort To'tr1
made by The Indians.
The first day was potato day
and many interesting talks on the
potato industry in the state were
given. The scrod ;laS was glv'"l
over to alfalfa and j. q. Hancy nt
the International Harvester En-
pertinent Station in Grand Forks
was the principal speaker. Thurs
day was diversified farming day
and at this time +. R. Crane gave
an Interesting address.
The object of this annual IAN
is 70 show the people what has
been raised in this part of tn"
country during the year and to
create an interest in better farm
ing so tina; the land will be MADE
to produce crops that will brlns
in the most money.

nine years engaged successfully
in farming. He then moved into
Wahpeton and for few years ell

HIoH SCHOOL NOTES

Some unusually hard tests have
been given by some of the teach
ers this month. We wonder if
.he convention had anything to
do with this.
Justin Curran has been absent
from school this week nn account
of the fire in the store which des-
.troyed not only the stock but the
furnishings in the living rooms
up over the store.
Why didn't Mr.. Finkenheimer
attend the Convention at Fargo
last week? The football boys
say he missed the train. The
chemistry class believes he mis-
scd the "Ag."
The High School dance last
Thursday evening i'm honor of the
Football Boys was a great sue
cess. That great big moon in
whose golden light the Moonlight!
waltz was danced was not the rea.
one. but the product of the labors
of Roy and Raymond our csoeci-
ally brilliant Seniors. Every one
