ORGANIZING FARMERS
COOPERATIVE MARKE
Selling Stock in $4,000 Concern
Propose to Erect Building in
the Spring.

The Farmers Cooperative Market
has been organized in this city with a
capitalization of 100000, with the fol-
lowing officers:
N. J. Coddington, president.
Evald Kvam, secretary and treas
urer.
A. C. Roam, manager of stock sales.
The first stock in the concern was
offered for sale Tuesday. The plans
for a building which it is proposed to
erect in the spring, calls for enclosed
stalls where farmers may drive with
their loads of produce, backing up to
a platform. On the opposite side,
booths will be provided where produce
will be offered for sale. The plan is to
rent the stall and booths at reas-
enable figure and make this a central
place where the seller and the buyer
can get together to their mutual ad-
vantage. The building is to be heated
so that the place may be operated
thruout the year.
Markets such as this one have been
operated very successfully in many Of
the cities of the east and in Canada.
The par value of each share of stock is
$25.0O.
Plans have been prepared for a
building 50x10O feet, to be used fol-
the business of the market. These
plans provide for full basement and
one story structure of cement block,
frost-proof and with provisions for

Ward County Issued 25O1 Hunting
Licenses

Ward county will again lead the
state in the number of resident Ii
censes sold. This year has seen a
steadily Y increasing number Of licenses
sold. This may in part be due to the
increasing interest in the sport allur-
ing, or it may be to the extremely ac-
tive system of game wardens in the
field, under the leadership of Chief
Game Warden E. B. McCutcheon.
These men have been in every part of
the county and have kept an active
list of hunters who have purchased
licenses, and this year have referred
to these lists rather than bother the
hunter great deal, which annoyance
sometimes bothers the hunters unnec-
essarily, just at the time when nice
shot is presenting itself. While this
procedure has been highly gratifying
to the hunter, nevertheless, if he did
not see the game warden, he felt the
vatchful eye was somewhere near,
this contributing largely to the in
creased sale of licenses. Three years
ago Chief McCutcheon stated that he
would put Ward county in the front in
the matter of license sales, and both
last year and this, it has easily led the
state. County Auditor Thompson's
report shows the sale at his office of
2496 resident hunting licenses. 5 non
resident licenses and 316 trapping IL
censes, while Chief McCutcheon has
sold ID nonresident and II resident
licenses, so while all this money was
not paid by Ward county, the amount
raised in Ward county would be nearly
So, 900. This year has seen little if
any "sooner" shooting, which seems to
have been largely eliminated, much to
the delight of the hunter. In three
years and half Ward county has
jumped from seventh to first place, re-
tanning the latter place both last year
and this.

stalks, paper, rags, wire screen or
some manufactured covering may be
used. If a close-ftting material like
paper or wood-veneer is used, it is
best to remove it in the spring to pre-
vent insects and mice from collecting
about the trunk of the tree. Seeds
and grass should never be piled
around the tree.
Probably the best way to save grain
from injury is to kill the rabbits. A
great deal of good is done by "rab-
bit hunts" which are often held in the
form of contests, so that great deal
Of sport is connected with the killing.
In this particular part of the state
the number of rabbits will be greatly
lessened next year, as probably half
of the animals killed were females.

BISMARCK TO HAVE
REAL GRAND OPERA
Three Productions by the Famous Sar
Carlos Grand Opera Co., With
100 Members and 20 Stars.

What will undoubtedly prove the
most interesting and important mus
ical-theatrical event of the season at
Bismarck is the coming Of the San
Carlo Grand Opera company, that
noted organization of songbirds made
famous few years back by such
singers as Nordica, Constantine, Mel
son and others. This aggregation has
been secured for three productions at
the Bismarck Auditorium on Friday
and Saturday evenings and Saturday
matinee, Dec. Is and Is. The event is
under the local management Of Mrs.
w. F. Cushing, who has been respon-
sible for the appearance at Bismarck
of so many superb musical affairs.
The entire San Carlo forces of one
hundred members are coming, with a
brilliant singing chorus of forty, a
complete grand opera orchestra and
the twenty leading artists. There are
four world-famous sopranos, an equal
number of eminent mezzo sopranos,
four distinguished tenors, including
Salazar, the famous Spanish artist;
four celebrated baritones, including
Battistini, from Italy, and two of the
finest bassos now singing in opera.
The productions to be staged, with
dates for each, are as follows:
Friday evening, Dec. Is. Donizetti's
great 3-act opera, "Lucia Di Lammer-
moor" Saturday matinee, the ever
welcome double bill, "Cavallcria Rus
ticana" and "Pagliacci;" Saturday ev-
ening, Verdi's massive and spectacu-
lar opera, "Aida." Each opera will
be sung by a diflefrent cast of prin-
cipals, and staged upon the same high
plane of artistry and traditional beau
ty as when the company appears at
Boston, Montreal, St. Louis, Omaha,
Minneapolis and St. Paul. The operas
will be directed by the noted Italian
maestro, Signor Carlo Peroni.
The opera event will no doubt prove
interesting to local music-lovers,
whose opportunity to enjoy an affair
of this magnitude and Importance does
not occur any too frequently. The
prices are to be of the popular char
acter, the tickets ranging in price
from 81, $1.5O and 50. Mrs. Gushing
wishes to announce through these COL
umns that she will receive and care
fully fill mail orders from this town,
it being her desire to make the opera
event fully as attractive to people in
outlying towns as to those in Bis
marck. The regular sale, Of seats,
