GRAIN GROWERS OF
COUNTY ORGANIZE

A meeting of Stark county farmers
was held Saturday at the Farmers
Cooperative Union Elevator to dis
cuss the proposed National Standards
for grading wheat and other grains.
The last congress authorized the
Department of Agriculture to estab-
lish grades of all grain handled in
inter- state commerce. Before these
grades are fixed the department will
hold public hearings early in Dccem-
Der. Big business interests like the
millers and commission houses will be
we'll represented at these hearings
and it is highly important that the
farmers should be represented and
heard on this vital question. The
wheat grower has never been con-
suited before but has been forced to
accept grades established for his
grain by the Minnesota Inspection
Department.
Prof. Ladd of the North Dakota
Agricultural College, has been grind
ing wheat and testing the flour for
the past several years at Fargo and
has proven that the present grades
are unjust to the grower. Prof
Ladd's tests will be considered by the
Agricultural Department, but the
adoption of these tests as a basis of
grading wheat will, no doubt, be Wig
orously opposed by the interests
which profit by the present arrange
ment Of grades.
Prof. Ladd has asked the farmers
of the state to send representatives
to accompany him when he goes to
present his facts as to the milling
value of wheats. If the farmers prop
erly support Prof. Ladd and endorse
his tests there is hope that more
equitable grades will be established
and result in fairer prices for the
growers.
The meeting at the Farmers Ele-
vator resulted in the formation of
the Stark County Grain Growers AS
| sociation to work for the adoption
of fairer grades. The farmers Of this
county are urged to join the associa.
ton and cooperate with similar
movements in other counties of the
state for this purpose.
Another meeting will be held in the
German Mercantile hall in Dickinson
Saturday, November 25th, and all
farmers are urged to attend and learn
the facts regarding grading of wheat

Large Roster of
NelU Night School
Proves Popularity

The night school, which was insti-
with a great deal of success, and
there is constant growth in the
student body. Miss Anna Hillesheim,
principal Of the high school, has
charge of the work.
There are about fifty enrolled at
presentC2O under H. 0. Pippin, Is
under Miss OFT, and similar number
under Miss Hillesheim.
Reading, spelling and writing are
being taught to a large number,
stenography, typewriting and book
keeping are taught the commercial
class, and the higher classes also
study arithmetic and civics.
Miss Hillesheim announces that
new pupils will be taken at any time,
in fact, new pupils join almost every
meeting night. The classes meet on
Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday
evenings of each week.
The pupils take great interest in
the work and the attendance has
been almost perfect. Every young
person would do we'll to avail him
self Of this opportunity to get an
education at such low cost. The
tuition is $3.50 for the full course Of
five months and school is held three
times each week. This makes the
cost per lesson about 1Oc. When we
consider that the cost of such in
struction in many cities runs from $50
to $40 we can see that the cost was
put down just as low as possible SO
that every one would have chance
to attend.

OLD time RESIDENCE
DAMAGED BY FLAMES

One thousand dollars is estimated
to be the loss on the w. A: Northrop
seven room residence on First Street
North and Third Avenue East, as the
result of fire last week.
His family residing at the ranch at
the time, Mr.. Northrop confined him.
self to the two rear rooms, paying
very little attention to the other por-
ton of the house. Upon retiring at
10:3O on Monday, he heard a peculiar
cracking noise in the other rooms,
but thinking it was the cat prowling
around, gave no heed and dozed off
to sleep.
At midnight he was wakened by
someone on his doorstep crying
"Fire!" Thinking it was a joke IF
some some kind, he arose and in inquired
opening the door leading to the front
part Of the house he almost stag,
gered back by the burst of smoke and
flames. The rooms, staircase and sec
flames leaping from the roof. The
fire alarm was turned in but due to
the frosty night it was sometime be-
fore the fire apparatus could be gotten
to the burning building, but when ex-
tinguished the fire left the roof
nearly all burned and charred mass
Of the staircase and upstairs rooms.
The rooms downstairs are badly torn
up and dilapidated. Hardly any fur
niture was destroyed as most of it
had been moved to the ranch some
time ago.
All indications suggest that fire
started in clothes closet under the
stairs, in one of the bed rooms, where
a good deal of clothing was hung
away. The origin is unknown.
The Northrop house is one of the
oldest in the city and when first
erected was the classiest residence in
Dickinson. It was built in 1882, by
L. K. Grantier, husband of Mrs.
Florence Grantier, and later pur-
chased in turn by Mr.. Russell. R. E.
Fuller, nephew of the latter, was
the next owner and John McNair the
last before Mr.. Northrop purchased
the place % years ago.
AS soon as the insurance adjuster
fixes the loss, immediate steps will be
taken to make the necessary repairs.
