Surprised by Town
and Country Friends;

A surprise as complete as it was
pleasant was the portion of Judge
and Mrs. A. l.. Butler Friday even
ing. Early in the evening, neighbo1s,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Shaw, inquired
over the phone if it was convenient
to arrange a game of cards. If 80,
the Shaws would be over. Certainly,
it was convenient. This proved to 81
merely precaution to make sure that
Mr.. and Mrs. Butler wouldd renal.
at ho.re. After the game of grand
and nola was well under way, great
commotion was heard at the front
door, "Why," said Mrs. Butler. "the
boys must be bringing home some Of
their friends" but the guess proved
incorrect. The disturbance was caus--
ed by about twenty-five jolly friends;
part of them from the city; but most
of them from the country, members
of nearby farmers clubs.
A most delightful social evening
was the result. Cards held the atten--
tion of the party until late hour;
when the visitors opened up the bas-
kets of refreshments that they had
brought, everything complete even to
the dishes. The Judge says that Il
was one of the most complete sur
prises he ever experienced and one Of
the pleasantest evenings.

Meeting of Potato
Growers Set For 10Th

The potato growers Of the Willis.
ton district have determined to or
ganize a potato growers association.
A meeting Of all those interested is
announced for January 29, at 2 p.
m. in the court house.
J. E. Eastgate, whose talks on a
variety of farm subjects, including
potato culture, were so thoroughly
enjoyed at the agricultural conven-
tion of last week, will be present to
lend his assistance and give the bene-
fit Of his experience. 1t is believed
that through a potato growers 'asso-
citation a more helpful degree Of CO.
operation can be realized in such
matters as the common growing of
marketable varieties and the main
tanning Of standards of quality.
Potatoes have proven an unusually
profitable crop the present season
and it is thought that good prices may
reasonably be expected next year.
Those interested in the movement for
potato organization hope for a !
large attendance at the meeting in
order that the more important sub
jects pertaining to potato growing, !
such as q potato warehouse and mar
ksting, may receive careful attention.

LOCAL INVENTOR

TEST WILL BE MADE

Future developments in the pro.
gram of national defense now in its
. inception, may bring distinction to
Williston as the home of the inventor
of a new departure in the death-deal-
ing torpedo.
About five years ago a citizen of
Williston. while reading in a mag
azine devoted to mechanics, of GER
tain improvements in torpedo devices,
conceived an idea to which he devoted
two years Of thought and labor. At
the end of that time he went to Wash
ington and laid his idea and his plans
for carrying it out, which were still
in the rough, before certain officials
of the naval department. He was
given a most courteous hearing and
assured that his plans would be work
ed out by the departments experts
and that in due time his invention

The Williston man assured him that

value the invention might prove to
possess would certainly be retained
for the benefit of the American gov
ernment: This was three years ago,
before the European war had begun.
Called to Washington
A few days ago, County Surveyor,
J. C. Field, who is the inventor re-
ferred to, received word to come to
Washington to be present at practi-
cal tests of his device. The letter
gave assurance that the details had
been carefully worked out and work.
ing models suitable to be used in
tests had been completed. This is
Mr.. Fields third trip to Washington
in connection with his invention. He
feels greatly encouraged by the care
full attention that the naval depart
ment has devoted to his idea and be-
ieves that, as the plan was worked
,ut and developed, it must have shown
evidence of proving a practical sue
:ess.
The essential feature of the inver-
ion is closely guarded but has to do

Williams county over ten years.

4 Merry Christmas for Everyone
North DakOtans
Lead All States
AS Home Owners

Rate Expert Little Of the rail-
road commission in a recent delve
into census statistics discovered
the gratifying fact that North
Dakota leads all other states in
the union in the proportion of
home-owners, which Is 80 per
cent. In other words, only one
North Dakota family out of five
lives in rented property. In Min
nesOta the percentage of home
owners is 63.5; in Montana only
56.6 per cent of the people own
their homes; in South Dakota the
proportion is TIP per cent, while
in the United States as a whole
the proportion is 46.5 per cent.
