.li0f0 ACCIDENT III)I n =.
!. CAR TURNS TURTLE

Another accident due to slippery,
icey roads occurred early Tuesday
afternoon and resulted very fortu-
nately, all things considered, al
though quite seriously enough to
those implicated.
Shortly after one o'clock DR.. S. w.
Bailey, accompanied by DR.. C. L. T.
Herbert, started in his big White
touring car for the farm near Bailey.
In trying to avoid a frozen bump in
the road, about four miles out, DR..
Bailey turned the front wheels to one
side but the car skidded and the
wheel hit the bump side wise, which
caused the car to turn turtle with
both men underneath, DR.. Herbert
losing consciousness and DR.. Bailey
being pinned down by the steering
wheel. The latter, after about a
twenty minutes struggle, was in
some way able to crawl out and sue
ceeded later in shutting off the power,
and with almost supcrhuman strength
was able to relieve the pressure on
his companion by jacking the edge Of
the car up. By the help Of several
grain men, who happened along, DR..
Herbert, who was quite seriously in
jured, was extricated.
A passing car took DR.. Herbert to
town, where he was at once placed in
St. Joseph's hospital, and on exami-
nation disclosed a dislocated collar
bone and a sprained ankle. A car
from the city went back to the scene
of the catastrophe to get DR.. Bailey,
who somewhat dazed by the accident
had at first refused to leave his car.
Dr. Bailey's condition was not SUI
fciently serious to necessitate hos
pital treatment, although he was
badly bruised, his hand being cut and
his back being quite lame.
DR.. Bailey was out again on Thurs
day when he took up DR.. Herbert's
practice for a week or so until the
latter will be able to continue his
work. .
The car was towed in later, q
wheel, the radiator and the steering
gear entirely out of commission.

SEEDING ALFALFA

A new way Of seeding alfalfa is be-
ing tried out by w. R. Porter on the
North Dakota Demonstration Farms.
In 1915 it was tried out on five farms
with good success on four of them
This method consists in sowing one
row of alfalfa, and four of wheat or
barley and so on. 1t requires drill
with a grass seed attachment. Close
UP all the seed cups except every 5th
one and in the grain box close up
every fifth seed cup. With, the
twenty shoe or disc drill the third and
eighth seed cup from each end in the
grain box and leave the corresponding
cups in the grass seed box open.
This places the alfalfa rows thirty in
ches apart.
By this method in 1915 crop of
grain was secured and a good stand
of alfalfa. It required but small
amount Of alfalfa seed-one pound to
an acre.
In the western part of the state a
field sown in this way averaged Is
bushels of wheat and the alfalfa did
fine. There will not be the same
certainty Of securing stand by this
method as when the alfalfa is sown
alone. It has the great advantage
that crop is secured the same year
the alfalfa is sown.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT PLANS
ARE NEARLY COMPLETED

The PRESS is this week in receipt
of a letter from authorities at Wash
ington regarding the public building
at Dickinson.
Acting upon the authorization act
Of February, 1913, the treasury de-
partment has now practically COM
pleted plans for building which they
think can be constructed within the
limit Of 100000 set by Congress.
The treasury department is far be-
hind with it's plans and it is usually
two or three years after building is
authorized before plans and specifi-
cations are ready for it's construction.
So it has been in the case of the
Dickinson building and the informa-
tion given the PRESS would seem to
indicate that work may be COM
menced the following season if the
people are satisfied with a $4,000
building as explained in the PRESS
Of December 18. ..
After the treasury department has
completed its plans and called for
bids, and possibly the work started,
the treasury department estimates
the amount of money that will be
needed for that year to carry OH the
work of construction, ard then certi-
fies to Congress the amount neces-
sary and Congress makes the ap-
preparation. The treasury depart
ment endeavors to hold this estimate
down to what will be needed during
the year. If the work progresses
faster than is expected the contract
ors would either have to wait until
the next sundry civil bill is passed or
else the department would certify the
amount needed and it would go
through on some deficiency bill.
The information to the PRESS
further states that in many instances
the government has been very short
sighted in ,appropriating money for
public buildings as in the case OF
Fargo, where the building has been
enlarged several times and even at
that must eventually be entirely re-
placed. Senator McCumbcr says
that if a 100000 building seems in
sufficient for the. rapidly growing
needs of Dickinson, he will do all pos
sible to secure larger one if the
people are willing TO- put up with stha
additional delay, it vii Inean.tb get
the authorization from Congress- and
new plans from the treasury depart
ment. ..-- ID ..

GENERAL AGENT WITH
HEADQUARTERS IN
CHICAGO.
Machine in Madison Square Garden
New York, Five in Chicago,
String of Twenty five in Prin-
cipal Cities of Country,

The Mininberg Automatic Advertis-
ing Co. is fast putting Dickinson to
the front as a manufacturing city.
This company is out to win and with
the beginning of the new year will
start at the big end of the pub
licity question.
A general agent has been secured
in the person Of Leo Tandowsky Of
Chicago, who has had several years.
experience as a machine man and
especially along general machine adj
vertising lines.
The publicity work is to be started
at once from three principal centers
the Twin Cities, Chicago and New
York-and from these will be carried
to other points until a nationwide
string Of twenty-five machines has
been formed.
Mr.. Tandowski has already secured
permission to place a machine in
Madison Square Garden New York,
and hoped to get it installed in time
for the National auto show; but if
not for that, he will have it ready for
the seventeen shows already booked
for the near future in the great me-
tropolis. Five machines are to be
placed on busy corners in Chicago.
Each machine carries forty-fve
slides and the plan is to secure some
twenty national advertisers who will
use the entire twenty-five, contract
ing by the year, and fill out the re-
mainder of each machine with local
advertising, newspaper up-to-the-min-
ute bulletins, etc.
These advertising machines are so
far not for sale but are; put, in by
the company and operated on per
cent basis. Mr.. Tandowsky believes
there will in, the near future, be a
great demand for them in large stores
to advertise the different departments
and that theatres will find them just
the thing to announce their present
and future attractions.
Ufer & Foster, expert machinlsts
of Dickinson, have given up all other
work to manufacture these big adver-
Using machines. Their shop is in the
building formerly used as a broom
factory and is very busy place with
finished machines and those in process
of construction ranged on every side.
Sixteen of the twenty-five needed at
once by Agent Tandowsky are al
ready completed. Five men are now
employed besides MIR. Mininberg, the
inventor, who exercises general manu-
featuring supervision.

Harry Annear was in Dickinson on

in which to finish the count and will
be able to round up more cattle to
turn over on the deal.
AS stated last week, Mr.. Annear
takes the hay at the! ranch, some 1926
tons, and has engaged Bill Wanderi,
formerly with Parker & Sons in
Dickinson, to feed the stock at the
ranch this winter. In the spring the
stock will be moved to Mr.. Annear's

cUTNAW Co, STlRE

The Dickinson Electric Wiring &
Fixture Company have moved into
their new quarters in the Merchants
National Bank building. They have
their fine, new $4,000 stock all in
and unpacked for display for which
they have excellent advantages in
their new store. A large window,
bearing the firm name, on the street
side of the 1920 #. front display
room, is very conveniently arranged
for this purpose. The high ceiling af
fords space for sixty semi-indirect
lighting fixtures, which are attached
to parallel rods, suspended by small
chains. Each fixture will be wired
independent Of the others, so that any
single one can be switched on at will
to give the customer good idea of
that particular shade. On the north
wall are long shelves which extend
entirely across the room, where a
large assortment of beautiful shades
will be placed. The company, now
that they have more room, will carry
full line of beautiful bracket lights
and these will be in row, fastened
on the east and west wallis, giving
the store a very pretty appearance.
The two counters meet at right
angles in the northeast corner, the
one of glass, being placed to face
the street door which opens to the
west. Z =
In the rear part Of the new bank ad-
dition Mr.. Cutnaw has a neat 8x16
#. office, with a door opening from
the outside and also leading to the
basement SO that supplies need not be
taken to the storage room through
the front entrance. Both the office
and display rooms are finished in oak,
with the ceiling and walls in cream
and light tan respectively.
The basement is spacious with
plenty of light from four large win
dows. This will be the store room
and workshop, where D. E. Cutnaw
and his helpers, Walter Cutnaw and
Cretis Shira, will be able to make up
their fixtures to order instead of hav-
ing them made up down below as
heretofore. This will insure quicker
service and enable Mr.. Cutnaw to
carry a larger stock Of supplies, some
Of which are also stored in the office
upstairs for convenience. The floor
Of the basement is cemented and the
whole room is otherwise well fitted
for the work to- be carried on there
