MORE TREES IN NORTH DAKOTA

One of the needed improvements in
our state is the addition of trees.
Trees grown all over North Dakota
would mean a great increase in the at
tractiveness of our state, and an added
value to every acre Of farm land in the
state.
In many parts of the state the Far
mers Clubs are interesting themselves
in tree planting and a movement Of
this kind is now on in Grand Forks
county where the assistance of the
state Sshool Of Forestry has been Sc
cured and tree campaign is being
put on in connection with the Better
Farming Association work. North
Dakota will grow the finest trees. All
that is needed is to interest the differ
ent committees in planting and car
ing for them andthis work is we'll
worth the time and thought of any
farmers club in the state.

CASH SHOWS
n. D.'S GROWTH

There is just one test of profitable
business and that is the money in the
bank. Book accounts are worth moth
ing except as a promise of money to
come, but the monsy in the bank is. the
profit itself. Measured by it's banks,
North Dakota has had phenominal
growth the past few years. In the last
year alone this State has increased it's
bank resources over $20,0O0,OOO, and
this fine increase continues. In five
business days recently bank clearings
in Grand Forks amounted to $447, 900,
almost half a million in money; one of
these days ran we'll over a hundred
thousand dollars.
A study Of the bank statistics show
that since the year 1900, North Dako-
ia has made wonderful gains. In 1900
this state had only 207 banks, now she
has $40. In 1900 the total deposits in
North Dakota banks amounted to only
$14, 100000 while now the total is
Sill ,001 900. An interesting fact is
shown when we consider that in the
fifteen years, 1900-1915, with the ex-
ception Of two, North Dakota has
shown more total deposits in her banks
than South Dakota, and this notwith-
standing the fact that her sister state
is older and has, to within the past two
or three years, had more people.

CURING HAMS AND BACON.

The brine method is the most salts
factory way Of curing hams and bacon
on the farm. To sugar cure them ov-
er night, rub each piece with salt and
allow it to drain. Then pack in bar
rel with the hams and shoulders in the
bottom, using the strips of bacon to
fill in or place on top.
For each 100 pounds, take 8 pounds
Of salt, 2 pounds of brown sugar and
2 ounces of salt peter. Dissolve these
in four gallons of boiling water. Af-
ter cooling pour it over the meat
which should be covered. Place a
weight on it to keep it in the brine.
Leave the bacon in the brine to
weeks, and the hams to weeks,
then smoke it.
Handle salt pork in the same way,
only use 10 pounds of salt and leave
out the sugar.-North Oak. Expert

the matter of endorsing a candidate
for the position of postmaster in this
city. At present Mr.. Bloom is holding
the position, but has asked to be re-
lieved, and the name of H. S. Davies
was sent up to the Senate, but this
was not satisfactory to the Demo-
Gratis of the county, and they decided
to call a meeting to take some action

Tuesday afternoon. There vas good
representative meeting, ard after the
matter was talked over tho name of
w. H. Belford was presented and un-
animously selected as the man for the

D0Y0N Will
SELL AUTOS

After carefully looking over the
field Mr.. c. H. Doyon, the we'll known
banker and business man of the town
down the line that bears his name, has
decided that the Hudson line of auto
mobiles offers just little more for
the money than any other car on the
market, and accordingly he has secur-
ed the agency for this well known car
and in few days will have samples
on exhibition in this city and also at
his Doyon home.s
The Hudson Super Six, is really be-
yond description and in order to ap-
preciate it you must see it and enjoy
a ride in it. From every point of
view it is the last word in auto build
ing, and when you own a Hudson, you
have the best that money will buy at
any price.
If you are thinking of buying car
this season it will pay you we'll to wait
and see the Hudson before investing a
cent. The many new features and the
beautiful body finislings put this ca,
in class by itself. It is the greatest
car for the money ever offered and we
want you to have a chance to look il
over before buying. We expect tt
have car on the ground in a few day.
and will be pleased to demonstrate il
to you.

JOHN .MAH0NEY
DIES IN CANADA
FORMER RESIDENT AND PIO-
NEER OF RAMSEY COUNTY
PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY AT
HIS CANADIAN HOME.

John Ma,loney, who for the past two
years has been holding a homestead
and farming near Admiral, Sask., Ca,
died very suddenly at his home at
that place the first of the week and
the remains were shipped to Lakota,
where the funeral was held from the
Catholic church Sunday forenoon.
In the early eighties the three Ma
honey brothers located on claims south
east of Crary, they were John, Jerry
and Michael, and for years, they farm
ed there and the two latter are still
prosperous farmers of that vicinity.
While John, who was bachelor, re-
tired from active farming several
years ago, he still owned his land and
also owned quarter section of land
west of Edmore, besides his holdings
in Canada. He had always been a
hard worker and had accumulated
much property, being considered very
we'll off. He was man past sixty
years old at the time of his death. In
the early part Of the winter he was
back and spent some time in this coun-
ty visiting and attending to business
matters. He had been ailing some
and was not in the best of health when
he left here for his home in the north
west. But the first intimation that
his brothers had that he was even sick
was telegram announcing his death
Instructions were given to prepare and
ship the body to Lakota, where the fu.
neral was held as above stated. He
was an honest, upright man, and all
who knew him liked him, and he has g
host Of friends in this county who will
mourn his death. He leaves two
brothers in this county, Jerry ant
Michael, besides number of other re
Ilatives to mourn.

.CUTHBERT e%,::>>
FOR CONGRESS

Uuder Devils Lake date line of
February 2S, there appeared in the
Grand Forks Herald the following
communication relative to the candi-
dacy Of +. I. Cuthbert for Congress.
AS Mr.. Cuthbert is and has been in
California for some time, and will not
return possibly for several days we
are unable to learn wit, :u..:.:- -,';;.y
whether he will be a candidate Or not
but he has hosts of friends over this
section of the state who have been
urging him to become a candidate,
and it is freely predicted that he will
enter the campaign and make the race.
The following is the article as appear
ed in the Herald.
Devils. Lake, N. D., Feb. 28.-F. T..
Cuthbert, of Devils Lake, a prominent
ly known attorney, will oppose H. T..
Helgesen for the republican nomina-
tion for congress from the First dis
trict.
Announcement of Mr.. Cuthbert's in
tention to oppose Mr.. Helgesen was
made here today, and it is understood
that his campaign will be launched
Immediately upon his return to the
state from California, where he is at
the present time.
Attorney Cuthbert, a resident Of
Devils Lake for many years, has not
been prominently aligned with either
faction of the republican party and his
friends believe that he is in an envia.
BILE position to make the race against
the present holder Of congressional
honors.
The way for Congressman Helgeser
has been decidedly easy during the
last few years. In the most recent ell
ection he was without formidable op
position for the republican nomination
while in the general election he wol
over Fred Bartholomew of Gran'
Forks by the usual republican margin
Mr.. Cuthbert, in, entering the race
} believes the time is ripe for a ne,
man to try tie game as against Hell
gesen.
The Devils Lake entrant will ask fo
election on a platform that will b
rather progressive in it's tendencies
That much, at least, is known Of tn
new candidates plans.
Congressman Helgeson was orig
nally elected to congress from the Is
district thru the backing of the pre
gressive republicans. In the intervs
since his first election a portion of hi
support has dropped away from hin
Though the exact extent Of such devi:
! tion is uncertain.

v. \. REID IS
CAND|DATEF FOR
TREASURER

In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of William H. Reid, who
is candidate for the position Of coun-
ty treasurer. Mr.. Reid is an old-timer
to the people of Ramsey county, and
has wide acquaintance. He has lived
in this county since the early eighties
and by paying strict attention to bust
ness he has made financial success Of
his own business, and we believe that
he would be a proper and fit man to
put in charge of the funds of this
county. He is man of kind and pleas
ing disposition and readily makes
friends wherever he goes, and as he is
widely known over the county he will
no doubt make most formidable ad.
visary for others who may enter the
race.

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW
CONTINUES IN FORCE.

Washington, Mar. 1st.-A mislead-
ing statement has recently become
current in the newspapers of the Mis-
sissippi Valley and elsewhere, to the
effect that the Department of Agricul-
ture has suspended the enforcement of
the Federal regulations under the
! Migratory Bird Law and by this
means has enables sportsmen, under
State laws, to shoot wild fowl the COM
ing spring.
Under the Federal regulations as
they now stand, the season on all mi
gratory wild fowl is closed until next
autumn throughout the United States.
Federal inspectors and wardens are
required, and others interested in the
protection of wild fowl are requested,
to report to the Department of Agri-
culture all classes of violations of the
regulations, in order that proper ac-
tion may be taken. j
The Department Of Agriculture has
no power to suspend the law or to
pardon violations of the regulations.
Doubtless the errneous impression, on
which the newspaper statements are
based, has drawn out of the pendency
of litigation involving the constitu-
! tionality of the Act of Congress ap-
proved March 4, 1913, under which the
regulations were promulgated. The
lower Federal courts disagreed as to
the validity of the statute and the is.
sue was carried to the Supreme Court
of the United States. The case was
, argued in the Supreme Court in o.:
) 1915, but has not been decided. Fol-
/ lowing the lower court decisions, Con-
gress appropriated money for ths prn..
pose of continuing the enforcement Of
the law. The Department of Agri-
culture is bound to report to the De
partment of Justice violations of the
regulations if the Supreme Court
should declare the law constitutional.
All persons should, therefore, be
warned of the danger they incur from
failure to abide by the regulations.
