LA INQUIRE FARM HOME BURNED

Fire completely destroyed the Ed.
win Ellison farm home, five miles
southeast of LaMoure, Sunday after
noon. The loss is a minimum one,
insurance being carried on the house
and furniture.
While the cause of the fire is mat
ter of conjecture, it is presumed to
have started from spark from the
chimney. Mrs. Ellison had just put
a bundle of old shingles in the stove
few moments before the fire was
noticed and undoubtedly sparks from
this dry wood set fire to the flax bank
ing around the house.
The family in company with Mr.. and
Mrs. O. 0. Ellison, Emil Ellison and
Rudolf Ellison, were eating dinner
when Rudolph noticed smoke issuing
from the south side of the house. The
blaze was easily put out, but the fire
had gained Roadway under the stoop
of the roof and when this fact was
noted all hands were set to work to
remove the furniture. All of the fur.
niture was removed from the first
floor, while a considerable amount Of
it in the upper part of the house was
destroyed.
The alarm was given in LaMoure
and many Immediately responded to
the CALL When help reached the
place the house was enveloped IN
flames and efforts were Immediately
concentrated upon saving the adjoin-
ing buildings, as it was then seen
that the home was doomed.

WHAT is OUR CON-
MUNlTY DOING?

Every community should center on
producing at least some one thing OF
quality and in considerable quantity.
In this way the community will be-
come known and it's product advertis-
ed to the world. This in turn brings
the buyers which means better prices.
The county of LaPerche in France
centered on raising horses and the
result is that the Percheron horse is
known the world over, and thereby
the district of LaPerche is known.
A number of farmers are cooperat'
ing in raising Holstein cattle at New
Salem, N. D., and the community is
becoming known not only all over
North Dakota but in many surround
ing states.
In order to advertise our community
by it's products it is necessary that
the farmers in a community get to-
gether and plan their production. II
takes cooperation to bring about such
result.-North Dakota Experiment

How far is it to Christmas? It's across

And I'D the hill of doubling and along

Until you reach the border of the land

It's far away, and near us; 1t Is there,

Oh. earnest little fellow, can l make

You lie awake and whisper, you count
and count the days
And try to bring it nearer in hun

Already you have seen it in CLEAN OF
joy afar,
Have seen it's joy approaching in the
twinkle of a star;
You hear the bells that Jingle and the
clatter of the hOOfs
That time song of gladness as they
gallop on the roofs.
How far it it to Christmas? It's not
so far away
For all know, already you have and

apart
But sends it's blessed sunshine to eV'

YOUNG THINKS BAKERS
GREEDY; BREAD TOO HIGH

Washington, Dec. 14.-Congressman
George M. Young introduced today two
bills designed to turn the searchlight
upon and secure information respect
ing the cost of wheat and bread. Mr..
Young declares that the big leaks oc-
cur in the grading of the wheat and in
the eXhorbitant prices charged by
bakers.
One of the bills provides for the
establishment of a municipal bakery
for the city of washington. In sup
port of it Mr.. Young states that bread
is cheaper in London than in any of
the American cities in spite of the fact
that it is located further away from
the wheat fields.
A recent dispatch from London
quotes bread at 21c per loaf, but loaf
of bread in England weighs 81 o., and
is sold in quarter loaves, or in other
words for five cents and a farthing
for 16 or. This would about equal
81 cents for full avoirdupois pound
OF bread containing 16 OF. This is the
same as 1-3 cents per ounce. Even be-
fore the war started American bakers
were charging more than that, or
cents for a Loaf and they now charge
6 cents for II or. loaf, or Il cent
per ounce. The bakers Of the country
are now flooding congress with re.
quests to place an embargo on wheat
The other bill introduced by Mr..
Young provides for the installation of
an experimental -four mill and chemi.
cal and baking laboratories in the U
S. department of agriculture. While
Mr.. Young was member Of the North
Dakota legislature he secured the pas
sage of the Young act, which provides
for the installation of similar expert
mental apparatus for the North Dako
to Agricultural college. Experiments
there during this crop year conducted
by DR.. Ladd demonstrate that both the
producers and the consumers have
been feeced by the grading system.
The bakers point to the high quo
tations for wheat, at times upwards Of
$500 per bushel. But these quota
tons are for No. Northern wheat
Very little of that kind of wheat was
produced in the country this year, anC
the farmers have been paid around 81
per bushel, by reason Of crooked stand
ards for grading crookedly operated
Experiments at the North Dakota Agri
cultural college conducted by DR.. Ladt
show that this wheat sold by the
farmers at prices around 81 makes ex
cellent -four, and it has been demon
strated that -four made from this very
wheat is being sold by the millers tt
supply best trade.
I'VE don't want an embargo" said
w
more harm than good. We want the
searchlight turned upon the rascals
who do the grading and who gamble
with the grain at the great exchanges
and the long-fngered bakers who
were charging before the war began
more for bread than is now charged
during war times in the belligerent
countries"

house north of town to take his little

A. P. Nelson's boy, Albert, had climb
ed into the buggy, and before Mr..
Syverson could get in the horses de-
cided it was time to move. The driv-
err got mixed up with the wheels in
the effort to reach the lines and was
left behind. Mr.. Nelson saw the team
going past his place without the dry
err and stopped them. The pole and
whiffletrees were broken and the boy
had been thrown out and bruised, but
there was no other damage.

Dancer SIGNAL

If the fire bell should ring would you
run to stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? It is much the same way
with cough. A cough is danger sig
nal as much as fire bell. You should
no more try to suppress it than to stop
a fire bell when it is ringing, but
should cure the disease that causes
the coughing This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad cold
or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the
best medicine for breaking up these at
tacks and you cannot get him to take
any other" Obtainable everywhere.

TREES HIT By LIGHTNING

According to the investigations by
the United States forest service, the
greatest number of trees struck by
tightening in any locality is the domin'
ant variety. Laboratory tests have
shown that the conductivity of wood
depends on it's water content. Mr..
Scott, Kansas state forester, who has
investigated many Of the old theories
about some trees being struck more
by lightning than others, finds that no
species of tree is more susceptible to
lightning stroke than any other except
in so far as the species determines the
height of the tree.-North Dakota Ex-
