In 1915, they went UP to 50 .339.OOo.

down to $43,512.47 on account of the
bad year. In 1913 they mounted up
to $47,499.90 and the growth has since
been steady.
''The growth in the cultivated acre
age has also been wonderful. In 1910
there were 100000 acres of land In

This Splendid Remedy
Simple Laxative Compound Helps
Correct Constipation in
Children.

With all children there are times
when the bowels fail to act naturally
and it becomes necessary for the par
ents to administer a remedy. Cath
,artics and purgatives should never be
used as these agents afford only tenn
pOrary relief while their violent ac-
ton shocks the system unduly. Mrs.
Eva F. Calf, SIT 10th St, Washington,
D. c., says that her little girl, Marie,
had been subject to constipation, and
that she found Dr.. Caldwells syrup
Pepsin the best remedy because OF
its mildness, and now always keeps a
bottle of it in the house.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
compound of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs OF
any kind, and is an ideal remedy for
children because of its mild action
and positive effect. It's use tends to
strengthen the impaired bowel action
and restore normal regularity.

as the Indians took good care to at
tack only by surprise and stealth. In
all Mr. Field has made so trips from
Bismarck 10 the Black Hills and but
rarely got signt of an Indian. His
trading operations extended over a
period of three years in all and on
the whole was a source of profit.
Farming and trading, however. has
not been the only business OF MI
Field in the West For fifteen years
he has ben special agent of the
Northern Pacific railroad company in
advertising the agriculture wealth OF
their route. His first engagement was
at the ST. Louis exposition where he
had full charge Of the exhibit OF that
company. He had attracted attention
of the railroad officials by his prev,
iOus work for Alexander Mckenzie at
Minneapolis and had been recon-
mended for the greater exhibit at st.
Louis. TO that show he carried a
marvellous exhibit of vegetables. One
parsnip was longer than the spade
handle, while the next one requird
a box 6 IL feet in length in which
to pack 1t for the trip. This was in
1882 and so great was the success OF
the exhibit that the company at once
appointed him to make up another
one for New Orleans. They printed
one million circulars or folders for
distribution with the compliments OF
J. A. Field and these were sent all
over the country These circulars
gave full description of North Dakota
and it's wonderful possibilities for
farming operations. At that exposi-
ton he had potatoes weighing five
pounds each and captured the first
premium for his exhibit. He was the
commissioner from North Dakota to
the exposition. -
The next great show made by Mr..
Field was at the Cincinnati exposi-
ton and here again he won a great
triumph. On reaching that city he
sought out the man having charge
of the exhibit shown By the Southern
Pacific railroad who asked him what
he was there for. When Mr.. Field told

of them for he has been elected one
of the assessors, president OF the
school association, clerk OF the school
board and has held other positions OF
honor and trust. He is also chairman
of the rural department OF the North
Dakota school board, and holds the
position in Burleigh county OF which
Bismarck is the county seat. 1t was
! he who was the census taker for the
government for that section, and in
all of these positions he has made
good.
Mr.. Field has military as we'll as.
civil record. He early enlisted in
the 18th Maine regiment and was bri-
gaded with the 14th Maine of which
the writer was a member The first
year of his service was largely on
detail work He was with the brigade
on the long march from Savannah to
Augusta, Georgia, in early spring OF
'65, and reached that city the evening
before jeff Davis was brought in, a
capture by small detachment OF the.
9Th Michigan cavalry. A few days
later he was detailed to take charge
of the river steamer Amazon loaded
with 600 bales Of cotton for Savannah.
When out a day or two the steamer
struck a snag and remained hung up
for three days until the steamer, Gov
ernor Thorpe, came to It's relief ana
took off one half or the cotton. The
steamer then floated and the trip down
the Savannah river was finished.
On reaching Savannah 1t was found
that the cotton on the Governor
Thorpe had been injured by the smoke
of the steamer and Gen. Steadman
refused to give receipt that would
relieve Mr.. Field He then reported to
Col. Kimball and by him was sent to.

made the matter right.
Mr.. Field was then detailed and
sent to brownsville, Georgia. In that
place and Brunswick, Georgia, he re-

discharged. .

and energy ins this country In his
Western home he is serenely gliding
into graceful age. He has been a
positive asset to his adopted state

travelling for his health, a woman and

after that Mr.. Field was in congenial
company.
On reaching Deadwood he found the
place to be typical western town.
The hotel gave him the privilege of
furnishing his own blanket and sleep
ing on the floor and with those &C.
commodations he remained for two
weeks. From there he went thru to
Pierre. South Dakota, where he found
one shack in the place where now
stands fine city. From Pierre he
went down to what is now Yankton
where he was to take the steamer for
civilization. The boat was to leave
at noon and he gave the driver bonus
of five dollars to hurry up but just
as he reached the outskirts of the
town he saw the boat pulling out from
the wharf and the trip of six days had
practically gone to waste.
Those were incidents common to
the place and the times. A man was
seen at work making skiff and Mr..
Field and four travelling companions
purchased the little boat as soon as
it was finished and using blanket
for sail started down the river. That
night they slept on an island and at
six o'clock the next morning started
on the run to Big Bend. In the party
was lumberman from Eangor and
when they passed the dead body OF
a man who had been killed by the In.
dams the Bangor man was greatly
frightened as he expected similar
fate. However, they reached Big
Bend at three o'clock that afternoon
and then went on to Fort Thompson
where they landed that evening.
Here Mr.. Field met DR.. Burleigh,
a Maine man who had built the rail
road from jamestown to Bismarck
who said that Mr.. Field must get on
his steamer and 60 back to Fort Sully
which was beyond Pierre. After I'M

new ones. He has acquired the so

CWritten for Lewiston. Me-. Journal)
1t was an interesting story told the
Journal by Jacob A. Field. OF Bis
marck, North Dakota, very recently
and we'll Illustrated the triumphs OF
another Maine man in the early days
of the far West.
Mr.. Field was horn in Lewiston in
1886 and was brother of the late
David P. Field of Auburn. lie has
many relatives in the two cities and
has but recently been here with his
wife. who was daughtr Of Elder
Colder, who was one of the famous
divines In the early days of Lewiston.
It was while on this visit that he told
the story of his western life to the
writer who considered it we'll WortE
a place in the journal.
Mr.. Field came from the old time
Lewiston stock as his parents were
James A. and Louisa Dill Field; who
we're children OF the first settlers.
Here Mr.. Field resided until 1877
during which time he served year
and half in the 18th Maine regi-
ment, but this part OF the story will
come later. ,.-.. :,,,-, ...,.a,...
It was almost 40 years ago that
Mr.. Field determined to seek his for
tune in the West and from Lewiston
he went directly to Cheyenne, which
at that time was but mere hamlet.
From there he pushed on to the Black
Hills in Dakota territory and finally
settled in. township 1888 Range 70, now
known as Apple Creek township near
the city of bismarck.
In those days the Indians had the
call in that country and many of the
new settlers met death at their hands.
Some queer experiences fell to the lot
of Mr. Field and in his hands these
tails ar full of human interest. When
two days out from Bismarck two pas
sengers on the coach offered him a
drink which was declined with thanks.
A moment later he overheard one OF
the astonished travellers whispering to
his companon-"I don't know about
this fellow. He must be either a
gambler or a Minister TO this Mr..
Field replied: mo! am down

"You don't expect to compete with
us, do you?" To this Mr.. Field re.
piled Certainly, and l am here eth

then showed Mr.. Field beet that

said: THAT may answer for you but
it would be no good for the Northern
Pacific" He then showed the man
a beet weighing 40 pounds! To this
came the laconic reply: 20 hell" In
the collection Of Mr.. Field we're two
turnips weighing 65 pounds. He was
there six weeks and swept all the
prizes for his exhibit.
Since that time he has exhibited
at all the great shows in the country
and has generally taken all the prizes
for his enormous vegetables. OF
course these are not all grown on his
farm but are collected all along the
route of the Northern Pacific railroad.
In recent talk with Mr.. Field he

MOUNDS AND MoUNDBUiLDERS

w. H. Smith in his hosiery of In
diana gives an interesting account OF
the relics left by an extinct race that
Inhabited the country before the ar
rival of the North American Indians.
The Indians had no traditions con-
corning them. He says in part:
Some of the finest specimens of pot
terry, pipes and carving that have been
found anywhere have been taken from
mounds of Indiana Also articles for
domestic use such as bowls, vases, wa
terjugs pitchers, drinking cups, water
coolers, etc, ETC. Some of them are
curiously carved and ornamepted but
on nothing has been found a letter or
symbol that would give clew to their
language. In Northern Indiana occur
a series of ancient earthwork, show
ing that at one time they were used
as garden beds These works are of
various forms and cover from ten to
one hundred acres each. Near Win
chester in Randolph county are the
remains of unique and beautiful
mound enclosure. 1t is not only the
largest in the state but it is the most
scientifically laid out.
There has been but little data left
by which to determine the habits or
mode of life of this particular people.
1t must be remembered that the build
ers had no tools, except rude stone
spades never more than three inches
wide and that they possessed no beast
of burden or vessels in which to carry
the earth, except small willow baskets.
They clothed themselves with a cloth
spun with a uniform thread and WOW
en- with a warp and woof. The ma
terial is something like the hemp of
the present day. They also cultivated
the maize to a considerable extent.
On some of the mounds there are trees
over a thousand years old. The
mounds have been named respectively
Burial Mounds" Temple Mounds"
Mounds of Habitation." Fortification
Mounds" Garden Mounds and Me
mortal Pillars
The burial mounds were generally
erected over one individual Occa-
sionally three skeletons have been
found, the arrangement of which indi-
Gated that one was superior and the
others interiors.
Many years ago a mound was opened
north of Richmond which contained
one skeleton with some pottery, stone
hatchet and arrow heads. John Finley

Hoosiers and Maple Syrup

Indiana has been in the limelight for many
years as the producer of writer's and humorists.
Now she is to receive another medal. The maple
sugar crop in the New England states promises
to be short and Chicago wholesalers are looking
toward Indiana to make up the deficit. Along
the Michigan-Indiana line the sap is running
freely, especially in Cass county, where record
season has started. If Hoosier maple syrup
maintains the same excellence in the markets
that her authors do in the literary world, the
state may advance another claim for distinction
and renown.
