MY defense? The Holy Bible!
l followed the scriptural injunc-
ton In 30 manning the man who
wrecked my home that he will
never wreck another!
THE unwritten law, and the
sixth chapter of Proverbs, are all
the defense / need"
Thus Byrd A. Choate, wealthy
farmer and stockman, upheld his
attack on Henry Campbell, near
est neighbor, to whom at the
pistols point he had given the
choice of death or emasculation!
THE CHOICE! Sudden death
at the pistols point, or a death-in-
life as the victim of the surgical
blade!
That was the problem before
Harry Campbell as Byrd Choate
confronted him beside a lonely
road where they had driven, in
the shade of a cedar forest!
He thought of the fruitless
years before him IL he should
choose to live; he thought of
the wife and baby who had
watched their breadwinner
drive away at Choate's side.
He looked into Choate's eyes
and saw no flinching there. He
considered the pistol; he consid-
cred the blade.
1.-THE knife!" said Campbell.
Byrd Choate is out on $4,000
bail, but keeping away from the
scene of the operation.
Mrs. Choate, who had left her
husband the day before the attack
on Campbell, is at a brothers
home nearby.
She denies any wrongdoing
with Campbell.
Campbell is staying at his
farm, but has made trips to
Wingo and Mayfield, looking
for ChOate. Physicians are
not certain he will live until
the trial. Campbell also denies
any wrOngdoing.

ADVERTISING DID

Alexander Chronicle: A few years
ago young man full of vim and ginger
found his way to the city of Minot,
this state. He was a pharmacist by
profession and in the face Of four es-
tablished drug stores invested his cap
ital in fifth. AS one Of his basic prin
ciples of his business he set aside five
per cent of his net receipts to expend
for advertising. His business grew
from the very start and the second
year he increased his advertising ap-
preparation to five per cent Of the
gross receipts. 1t was not long before
he owned two large stores in Minot
and one or two in neighboring towns.
Today Paul V. Mccoy, for that is the
young mans name, conducts in addi-
ton to his other business one Of the
largest department stores in the state
and is regarded as one of the most sue
cessful business men. He still sets
aside the usual five per cent and finds
it his most profitable investment.

seed grain, of what have proved to be
the best yielding strains Of corn, pota-
toes, bronze grass and alfalfa, which
it can send out to actual farmers in
small amounts at reasonable prices.
This seed has been produced. on the
main experiment station at Fargo, on
the sub-stations at Langdon, Williston,
Dickinson and Edgeley as well as on
several of the demonstration farms.
If any farmer is interested in getting
any of these seeds he should write to
the director Of the experiment station
at Fargo or to any of the superinten-
dents of the sub-stations at the above
named points at an early date as such
seed is always in great demand The

that as many farmers as possible avail
themselves of this opportunity to get
a start in the best seed that it is pos
sible to obtain.

Much Beer Poured
Out at Spnitwood

Jamestown, Feb. 11.-Sheriff Wright
poured a libation to Bacchus this after
noon and if any of the little fishes i'm

ache they may have proper grounds
for damage suits against the county
and the state of North Dakota.
The sheriff destroyed five half bar
rels and three quarter barrels of beer,
a total of 1928 quarts.
The beer was shipped into Spirit
wood consigned to John Lonski, re-
siding near here. Sheriff Wright
seized the liquor under the provisions
OF the state law and Wednesday, Feb.
10, was designated when publichear-
ing would be held upon the beer. Mr..
Lonski appeared in court and init
mated that he had secured the beer for
a contemplated wedding celebration
the latter part of January. He did not
intend the beer for his own personal
use.
Accordingly, under the law and by
virtue of the authority vested in him
Judge Murphy ordered the liquor de-
stroyed and it was accordingly pour
ed out. r.
States Attorney Chase appeared for
the state and Mr.. Lonski was without
counsel.

Silver Wedding Of Rogers
People Observed by Friends

Rogers Citizen: Last Friday eve
ming the many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
George l.. Stearns gathered IN the
Rogers hall to commemorate the an
niversary of their marriage, this being
the twenty-ffth year of wedlock 1or
them. The affair was a complete sur
prise to the couple, as they had not
any intimation Of what was In store
for them when they were lured to the
hall on the pretext of going to attend
a party for the young folks, although
Mr.. Stearns had to be bribed by an
extra excuse in order to get him to
attend.
The hall was prettily decorated in
green and white. A large white ball
was hung in the center and from this
to the various sides of the hall were
drapped streamers Of white and green
crepe paper.
When the couple entered the hall
they were greeted by their many
friends who had already gathered and
were awaiting the arrival of the bride
and groom. After congratulations had
been showered upon them promiscous'
", they were presented with chest
of silverware, M. D. Kiser making the
presentation speech in few we'll
chosen words.
After the presentation, the evening
was spent in various ammusements,
some of the younger folks taking ad-
vantage of the occasion to spend a
while in dancing, while the older ones
who did not care for such strenuous
amusement, spent the time at playing
cards or in social conversation until
a late hour when a sumptous repast
was served, after which they all de-
parted for home wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Stearns many happy returns of the
day.

State Engineer Tells Of
Concrete Construction

In the course of the duties of his
office, State Engineer ]. w. Bliss has
been asked a great many questions
concerning the use of concrete for
construction purposes on farms, par
ticularly regarding it's use when skill
ed concrete workers are not available,
and as to the liability Of failures. In
reply the state engineer would say
that the use of concrete for construction
purposes on farms is indeed success
full, and that when few rules are
strictly followed excellent results can
be obtained, even though skilled labor
is not available. Further, If farmers
and others would take time to become
familiar with such rules before at.
tempting to do any concrete work,
failures would practically never
occur.
The state engineer therefore sub
mits the following brief instructions
concerning the essentials of good con.
crete, which if strictly observed will
insure satisfactory results.
Freezing Weather
Concrete work should never be at
tempted during freezing weather un-
less it is feasible to keep the concrete
warm until it has secured a thorough
set. Generally speaking, it should not
be attempted during freezing weather
Aggregates to Be Used in Concrete
Construction.
The sand, stone, and gravel usually
found upon the farms of this state
are generally suitable for concrete
construction, provided the following
precautions are taken:
1. These aggregates must be free
from vegetable matter, dirt, or other
foreign substances.
2. When using bank-run gravel, the
sand must be separated from the stone
or pebbles by screening through a
a inch screen.
8. In small concrete structures such
as fence posts, etc., the coarse aggre-
gate (crushed rock or gravel) should

All Seed Grain Tested
Either Before or After
(By w. R. Porter, North Dakota Elk
pertinent StatiOn.)

(By w. R. Porter, North Dakota Elk
pertinent Station)
The question of seed grain for next
years planting is now giving the
farmers something to think about.
Will the seed sown in 1916 be the best
seed free from weeds or will it be
scrub seed containing numberless
weed seeds of many varieties? Will it
terminate strongly under adverse soil
or weather conditions or will it lie and
rot in the ground or produce only
weak spindly plant unable to fight all
the diseases plants are susceptible to-?
All farmers who SOW seed will test it
either before they seed it or afterward,
Good strong reliable seed stands either
test, weak seeds fail in both tests,
therefore, if there is any question Of
strong terminating qualities in your
seed, particularly corn, test it out to
see that it has terminating vigor and
ability. Clean the small grain such as
wheat, oats and barley until only the
plump, heavy weight kernals remain;
this means that one-half of most sam.
pies should be screened out. Such
screenings usually sell on the market
for about the same price as the origin
al grain. These screenings should be
recleaned before marketing and all the
weak seed and real small or broken
kernels should be ground and fed on
the farm. The blast on the tanning
mill should be even and strong enough
to blow out all large light weight ker-
nels. All weed seed such as wild oats
should be cleaned out. This may re-
quire special machine but it will pay
well as there is no money in seeding
weed seeds where good seed ought to
be seeded.
Five bushels of seed wheat marquis
Arnautka Durum or North Dakota 316
Blue stem) planted on good land in
the spring Of 1916 should yield from
so to 125 bushels of good seed for the
planting of 1917 and this should pro-
duce from 500 to 1925 bushels Of good
grain either for market in 1917 or for
seed in the spring Of 1918. Thus it is
very easy to get start in good seed.
