YOUNG BOY MAKES
TROUBLE FOR HIMSELF.

Lawrence Rasmussen, an eleven
year old boy of Stephen, was brought
to Warren on Friday evening a week
ago, for the purpose Of being sent
to the training school at Red Wing.
The lad, it is alleged, had robbed the
cash register of the Stephen Auto
Co., taking 5000 in cash and some
checks. Some three weeks previous
he was accused Of having taken
about $50 from the Lyons home.
On Saturday when Argyle and War
rem high schools played foot ball, he
asked permission to see the game
and deputy Pearson took him out to
the field. Later he told that one of
the Argyle boys wanted to see him
and he was taken up town to see the
fellow. In some manner he eluded
the deputy and made his way to
Argyle, from which latter place he
rode with E. Campion to within a
quarter of mile of Stephen, when
he disappeared completely and has
not been seen since. The supposition
is that he is hiding at the home Of
some relative or friend. Lawrence
is said to be bright boy, but evil
associations have led him astray.

Good Money From Clover Seed.

The Badger-Herald reports that
considerable clover seed is being
threshed in Roseau county this fall
and gives instances of very substan-
tial profits being realized by indi-
viduals. A. M. Landry, of Warroad,
got seven bushels per ace and has
been offered SO per bushel for the
seed. James Garrison has $50 acres
to thresh and stands a good show to
realize from $4,000 to $4,000. A. L.
Roetman got 320 pounds of alfalfa
seed from two acres which at present
prices will net him from $50 to $75
per acre for his crop. Thus it is be-
ing demonstrated that there are bet
ter and safer methods Of cropping
land than grain farming. These ex-
! amples of what farmers have done
! in clover or alfalfa growing, taken
in connection with the grain failure
this year should stimulate farmers to
SOW grass seed extensively. Not only
do hay and seed crops net more
ready money than the grain, but
clover raising increases instead of de-
creases the. fertility Of the soil and
is an effective means Of eradicating
foul weeds. Middle River Pioneer

Burnt to Death.

Dave Lather, an employee at the
Engler mill met with terrible death
on Saturday night when he perished
in a shack in "Old Town" which
burnt to the ground. How the fire
started is not known, but it is pre-
suned that Lauder must have been
intoxicated and some how must have
caused the fire.
The fire was noticed by several of
our Spooner citizens about midnight
and calls were sent in to Central
but when she called some of the peo-
pie living near by they assured her
it must be a brush fire. The next
morning the charred bones Of Dave
Lauder were found as we'll as his
shoes. His watch was also found
and it showed twenty minutes to
one. Vic E. Lindholm, the deputy
coroner was notified but he deemed
an inquest unnecessary.
Dave Lauter was a young man of
about forty years of age and has
made his home here for the last six
years. He used to live at Warren
where he attended school.-The

Had Plenty of Funds.

Ed. Kane, a corn doctor, who has
been around here the last few days,
fell by the wayside the other even
ing and went to sleep in the gutter.
Incidentally he fell into the hands of
marshal Rod, who found little
over one hundred fifty odd dollars in
his jeans. AS his clothes were in
horrible shape it was deemed best to
buy him some glad rags and this
was done and his old underwear was
thrown out. AS soon as he recovered
from his celebrations he was on the
job looking for the old underwear,
when it was found he simply ripped
out seven hundred and eighty-five
dollars worth Of Uncle Samuel's
greenbacks from various portions of
that discarded clothing. The officers
took their hats off to him after that.

The Prairie Chickens Obituary.

Fargo Courier News: Scientific
men, farmers and sportsmen agree
that unless something intervenes, the
prairie chicken will soon be as ex-
tinct as the dodo. The wet seasons,
added to the depredations of cats and
crows have prevented their increase,
which might be possible were the
only enemy Of this fine game, bird
the hunter who, with his pump
gun, is certainly the most dangerous
foe. s.z..S.- ..- <:--.--,. z=z-.
Tie prairie chicken is net only
beautiful and worthy of preservation
as a game fowl, but is a worthy
friend of the farmer. With the exter-
nination of quails and their larger
cousins the prairie chickens, the in
sect pests will multiply to the loss
and sorrow of the producers.
There should be a closed season
Of four or five years in these north
western states until the birds have a
chance to replenish the fields. This
is as much in the interests of the
fine sport of hunting as it is of the
farmer. Without it the sport will
soon end forever and the farmers be
paying the penalty for all time tc
come.

FARMERS SHOULD RAISE
MORE POTATOES.
Nordlum and Peterson's Crop Make
Them $50 Per Acre.
01IEkt; q Esw York EysslsS -

For the first time in several years
there are potatoes being shipped out
of Middle River in carload lots. Hall
& Hanson have shipped one car and
expect to ship another. r
The bulk of this first carload were
bought from Nordlum and Peterson
and grown right here in town on
Northern Townsite Company land
leased by Nordlum & Schenkey. Mr..
Peterson has been busy for several
days past digging the potatoes. He
is now nearly thru with the job and
reports a yield of about 200 bushels
to the acre. AS the potatoes are
bringing 75c per bushel on the track
here the gross returns from the
crop are $3.50 per acre. Thus even
with this low yield, this crop has paid
several times what the best of small
grain crops would pay in a good sea-
son. Not only that, but the land is
left in first class condition for any
sort of a crop next year. This
should be an object lesson to induce
others to go into potato raising next
year. The Nordlum & Peterson po-
tatoes are not of the best class
either, being of all sizes and some of
them scurvey, else they would have
brought more money. If the different
farmers clubs around here will act
concertedly, in planting uniform
variety Of potatoes and raise enough
of them to warrant the installation
of a potato warehouse here, and the
sorting of the potatoes SO that car
/ loads Of uniform size and quality can
be shipped, the receipts will be great
er than can be gotten under the
present haphazzard unsystematic way
of growing them.
| We note also that county agent P.
| E. Clement, of Clay county, reports
that he has just returned from Ne
braska where he has demonstrated
Eplots Of potatoes grown from Mime
sofa seed and found that the Mime
sofa seed produced the better of the
two. Thus there are all kinds OF
reasons why the farmers of this
section should get into potato raising
on an extensive cale-Middle River

Those Pesky Weeds.

1t has been clearly demonstrated
to most of the farmers this season
that to get rid of the weeds it will
be necessary to prevent them from
going to seed, and that in order to
do this the infected lands will have
to be seeded down to tame grass.
War on the weeds will have to be
carried on by the individual land
owner, the town officials and the
grand jury. The man who fails to
prevent noxious weeds growing on
his land or along his side of the
road from going to seed should be
shown no consideration what ever.
The iron hand of the law, must be
made to grip the offenders. a couple
of years would suffice to get rid of
the weeds if all work together and
prevent them from going to seed. Do
not attempt to grow grain on weed
infected soil. When noxiorss weeds
began to make their appearance in
Roseau county, District Judge An
drew Grindeland, term after term of
court instructed the grand jury to in
force violations Of noxious weed laws.
The court very forcibly ]. told the
jurors what the result would be if
they failed to do their duty in this
respect. No indictments. followed
We now have the result Gand the
words Of our good and kindly judge
have proved his keen foresight

Stephen High Wins Game.

Last Saturday the Warren high
school foot ball team went down in
her game against the strong aggre-
cation from Stephen. The home
team was outclassed by.5the Stephen
back field. Our line as asWhole was
much better than that Of the oppos-
ing team but due to the superior
work of the Stephen team in working
the forward passes they outS'did our
boys. The Stephen back field was
much heavier than that Of the War;
rem team, thus enabling them to
break up the interference i{of our
team and stop the work in spite of
the efforts of the home team.
Stephen was not successful in line
plunges and nearly all of their gains
were made upon their forward pass
es. The work of the Warren line
was equal or superior to that of the
Stephen line. The work Of Kenneth
Wattam, Paul Bartholow and Carl
Kays was especially noticeable; even
in face of defeat their work was
clear cut and consistent through out.
The back field, in spite fftthe fact
that they were working against heavy
and experienced odds, did their work
we'll. ttJf2}-
The score was 45 to 0 in favor of
Stephen. We are hoping that the
next game will be more of an even
match sys#

Here's a Sure Road to Wealth.

American Magazine: There is one
sure road to wealth. It is not a get
rich-quick scheme, no wildcat mining
venture, no "war baby speculation;
it is simply a common-sense way Of
attaining small fortune in strict
ly legitimate way.
One dollar deposited in a savings
bank each week for twenty years
would amount to $1,612.
Five dollars deposited each week
for the same length Of time would
become $4,000. The interest on this
$4,000 would be Sc week. Any
one following out this plan Of week
ly deposits of SIS for twenty years
could at the end Of that period draw
out Of the bank Sc each week as long
as he lived and still leave to his wife
and family at his death not only all
he deposited but half as much
more.
The young man Of 20 WHO will save
27a cents day in savings bank
paying per cent compound interest
and keep up these payments or de-
posits till he is 20 years Of age
would have a fortune Of $4,000
which would pay interest Of $22 each
week. This interest would be about
ten times the amount saved eacf
week.
