MERRIAM WOULD PROTECT THE
HOUSE AND FLAT OWNER
Buyers of real estate in Chicago
never know when their property is
going to take a slump in value. An
ice plant, shirt factory or a whang-
a-rang machine shop might be start
ed any day, anywhere, and the
houses, flats and apartments next
door go down in price.
This was pointed out by Aid. Mer-
Ram Tuesday in a speech to the
18th Ward Civic Forum, 64th st. and
University av He wants residence,
districts protected by a city planning
system, as proposed in an ordinance
he introduced Monday night in city
council.
Instead of letting Chicago grow
in crazy-quilt, patchwork style, %
Merriam said, '1et US fix certain dis
tricts for residents, living quarters,
and into these districts no stores nor
factories shall be permitted. At the
same time we can increase business
and manufacturing efficiency if we
district shops, stores and freight
traffic in relation to business needs.
Certainly no factory should be
permitted to locate in a given neigh
borhood unless a majority of the peO->
RE in that neighborhOod are in favor
of it. Scarcely a day goes by in
Chicago in which some property
owner does not see the value of his
investment impaired and tenants find
themselves disconnected We can
regulate so as to stop this destruc-
ton of property values"

Soldier Boys Believe
They Are Coming Back

Mercedes, Tex, Sept. 8.-There is a
last day OF school, feeling in the air.
On every side you hear officers say, 81
believe Get. Tor maybe they say Oct.
l5) will see the state guards home"
Perhaps it was the departure of Illi-
nols and New York troops Perhaps
there is a leak from really authori-
tative source at Washington. Official,
seml-official or rumor, the departure
story has affected almost everyone. In
the woods near Mercedes Sunday were
dozens of soldiers digging up cactus
plants and palms to take home to their
families, fearing it might be the last
Sunday of leisure they would have on
the border.
Perhaps, in the North Dakota regi.
ment, the departure of several officers
has set the men thinking more strong
" of home. Major Hanley is autoing
toward Mandan, having resigned in or
der to give his full time to the race for
district judge. Captain McLachlan left
earlier in the week and Col. Frame
went to Des Moines on IL days fur
Tough to attend an important business
meeting.
With Major Hanley went his son.
Jimmy Hanley, pet of the First regi.
nent and its mascot, who has enjoyed
every hour of his stay on the border
and who left as brown as berry. Ma.
]or Hanley and his son took train tc
San Antonio, Orderly Ans Gimbel, OF
Mlnot, driving the car to that city. Ma
Jor Hanley started his long auto jour
ney home to Mandan at the historic

Southwest Barnes Was
Excited Over Lost Boy

Litchville Bulletin: Litchville was
an excited town for few hours Sun
day evening when word reached here
that Robert, six-year-old son of George
McGregor, had been lost in the woods
south of Kathryn since 2 o'clock in the
afternoon.
Word about the missing boy came
here at about o'clock and within
the next half hour auto load after
auto load of men started for the riv-
er to assist in the search. Luckily,
the boy was found about dusk and
most of the machines did not reach
the valley before being turned back.
1t seems that the little fellow was
out in the woods with some other
children, hunting for wild plums,
when he became separated from his
companions, and losing his sense of
direction, kept on going the wrong
way. He told afterwards that he in
tended to find the railroad track and
follow this up to Litchville.
About supper time he came to a
cook car, three miles from where he
started, owned by C. NJ. Opgaard.
Here he was taken care Of, fed and
questioned. His identity was estab-
lished and Mr.. Opgaard took him in
his car and brought him back to the
anxious searchers.

Sept. ll-l6 Is Seed Corn Week

Bismarck, Sept. 7.-Governor L. B.
lamation designating the week Of
Sept. II to 16 as Seed Corn Week"
Last year the North Dakota corn
crop was light and our farmers had
some difficulty to secure desirable
seed corn for the crop of 1916.
Our crop this year is very promis-
ing, and, when we consider the short
age of our wheat crop, it is of great
Importance that we select a large
quantity of seed corn for next year.
We have gotten by the period of
August frosts, which under ordinary
circumstances should mean that we
will not have frost until the tenth to
the twentieth of September. Through
out the southern and western sections
OF the state, corn generally may be
selected for seed by the second week
in September, but in the northern part
of the state it may be a little later.
Believing that it is of grave import.
ance to the people of our state that
we have sufficient seed corn for next
season, I, L. B. Hanna, governor, do
hereby proclaim the week of Sept. II
to Is, inclusive, as Seed Corn Week"
in the state of North Dakota for the
year 1916, and during that week I
earnestly recommend that our farmers
devote as much of their time as posi-.
BILE and also that the children in our
rural public schools devote one or two
days in the selection and storing of a
sufficient quantity of seed corn for the
coming year.
Done at the Capitol at Bismarck,

ENCLERT DECLARES
INCIDENT IS CLOSED

NJ j. Englert, the genial states at.
torney for Barnes county, in state.
ment to the Times.Record, cited the
findings of the court in the contest
case arising from the close vote be-
tween Mr.. Englert and Mr.. Richie in
the recent primary election.
Mr.. Englert contends that there
were three votes which were evidently
intended for him that were marked
so that the judges were undecided
about their being legitimate and did
not count them. These would have
given him a majority, but the court
ruled the same as the judges. The
votes were not counted and he lost.
The precedent for this action was
found in the ruling in a similar case
in Massachusetts, and Mr.. Englert
accepted the ruling with his accustom-
ed good nature. This gives Mr.. Richie
a clear field, and in all probability he
will be the next states attorney.

Maryland Is to Handle
New A. {. Department

Fargo, Sept. 1.-THE work of person.
al service will be carried on by the
North Dakota experiment station in
the future, and arrangements are be-
ing made for sending out men who will
give personal service on farm manage
ment, farm accounting, drainage and
road engineering.
About Sept. Is, Edwin Maryland,
formerly county agent of Barnes coun-
ty, will come to the North Dakota agri
cultural college and will be in charge
of the farm management and extern
sion work under the direction of Thos.
Cooper, of the experiment station. Mr..
Maryland will have charge of a practi-
cally new department and will give
his entire attention to working out
ly to the farms and spending some
time assisting the farmers to solve
the question that is confronting them
This will be especially SO where
a farmer has a problem confronting
him that also affects others in his
community" said Director Cooper to-
day, in speaking of Mr. Mayland' S
work. For instance, a farmer wants
to introduce livestock on his farm.
F.; Mr.. Maryland will go to the farm, find
out what kind of live stock would be
! best suited to the conditions of that
particular farm, or that neighborhood.
He will also give advice as to the ar
rangement of pastures.'
i Soon the experiment station will
undertake considerable work in the
line of farm management demonstra-
ton. Roy Dynes, a graduate of the
N. D. A. c., will have charge of this
work under Director Cooper, and will
devote a large amount of his time to
! the matter Of farm accounting for the
benefit of the farmers of the state.
Mr.. Cooper stated that the station
is now considering the proposition OF
putting in a department for giving
advice and personal assistance to the
farmers Of the state on the matter
of drainage and road engineering.
There is a big demand for such E
department at the station. The object
would be to give the farmer all infor
nation and assistance possible on the
construction Of drainage systems fo1
his farm, and the construction o
roads, said Mr. Cooper.
Mr.. Maryland, who has been count,
agent of Barnes county since March
1912, will be succeeded as count.
agent of that county by Prof. M.

Valley City Men Lose
Barn by Tuesday Fire

Litchville Bulletin: Fire totally
destroyed the barn and contents on
the Blank & Grady farm, the south
east quarter of section TO- Svea town
snip, at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The farm is leased by r. H. Hole
ton. When the fire was discovered
the barn was mass of flames. Moth.
ing could be done except to direct
all efforts towards saving the living
mouse from sharing the fate of the
barn.
Mr. Holton's loss is particularly
heavy. Seven horses and one colt
were in the structure and were burned
to death, besides 1000 bushels of
oats, three tons of hay, and all har.
nesses and tools. He carried no in
surance and the loss is total.
The barn was a frame structure
3OX4O, and we understand that the
landlords carried insurance on it.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
Nobody had been sleeping in the
barn since Sunday. It was protect.
ed by lightning rods, and no thunder
storm passed by until after the fire
was in full blaze.

Are You Looking Old?

Old age comes quick enough without
inviting it. Some look old at forty.
That is because they neglect the liver
and bowels. Keep your bowels regu-
lar and your liver healthy and you will
not only feel younger but look younger.
When troubled with constipation or
biliousness take Chamberlain's Tab
let's. They are intended especially for
these ailments and are excellent.
Easy to take and most agreeable in ef-
feet. Obtainable everywhere.

Modern lzaac Walton Uses
Electric Lights as Aid in
Making Raid on Finny Tribe

Luring fish by electricity is simply a
| new and very efficient stunt to which a
few batteries and an electric light may
be applied. In recent patent for this
| purpose an inventor has provided de-
| vice, which is intended to induce timid
| fish to venture from their hiding places
| in drifts, into the open water, where
they may be easily caught by the pa
tient and persistent fisherman, says
the Electrical Experimental.
The device consists merely of an
electric lamp incased in a strong glass
container, float to regulate the depth
of the glass, coil of wire and few
batteries to energize the lamp. The
wires are insulated from the water by
a length of rubber tubing and the bat
teries stored in a portable box on
shore. The flexibility of the tubing,
however, does not permit it to bend I'M
der the stress of flowing water. A
small switch mounted on the outside
of the box completes or opens the cir
cult to the lamp at will.
When the fisherman is ready for Op-
eratiOnS he sets his float at the proper
place and drops the lamp into the wa
ter. He then allows his line to hang
| alongside the lamp and proceeds to
make himself comfortable. The fish
soon crowd around to view the cleo
trical display and when one attempts
to relieve the hook of it's bait, the
angler pulls him in. After all of the
| fish at one place have been drawn from
| their hiding places, the fisherman turns
off his light and draws it shoreward
The tubing is now cOiled and placed
with the lamp and float in the box con-
tanning the batteries and, picking up
his box and fishing tackle, the merry
angler proceeds to invade another
choice spot where the fish have as yet
not been introduced to the wonders of
electricity.
