Layne is this week sending out
printed copies Of the school
laws relative to fire drills in
the schools. A copy Of the
law will be posted in every
school room in the county and
it is thereby hoped to secure
a strict observance of the law
relating to this important pro-
vision.
Col. C. b. Holman came
down from Ackworth Thurs
day to secure a load of pro-
visions for the Ackworth
neighborhood. On account of
the extreme cold and almost
continual blizzards the Homen
township people have been cut
off from the outside world for
some time, with the result
that many a larder was sadly in
need of replenishment. Mr..
Holman came here armed with
provision orders for ABOUT
twenty neighbors.
Owing to the early and heavy
fall of snow there is said to be
very little frost in the ground.
Farmers from the Turtle
Mountains report that the frost
reaches down only a few inches
in that region. This will mean
that practically all the moisture
from the snow will be absorbed
by the ground in place of run
ming off into the coolies and
lowlands. The danger of a
dry season is thus greatly
minimized.
A. O. Williams closed a deal
last week whereby he purchas-
ed the interests of J.. O. Flade.
land in the Fladeland-W Williams
Drug Co., of this city. AS the
concern is incorporated under
the name of the Fladeland-
Williams Drug Co., it will con
tinue to operate under that
name, for the time being at
least. BY this additional in
vestment Mr.. Williams has
demonstrated his further con-
fidence in Bottineau and Peer
less Bottineau county.
A. F.. Henderson, better
farming agent. has suggested
distributing the samples of
corn from the Bottineau County
Corn Show of 1914 among the
farmers, for seed the coming
season. There are several
hundred ears of corn in the ex.
hibit and as ten ears will plant
approximately one acre, Mr..
Henderson figures that il
would form the necleus for
good acclimated seed corn for
the future. According to Mr..
Henderson there is only enough
mature seed corn in the county
at the present time to plant
about three hundred acres.
Roy Williams, the 17-yea1
old son of T. NJ. Williams. the
Des Laos auctioneer, has inven
ted a steering apparatus for the
traction engine that will make
him a large sum of money,
Associated with him is Hersche
Waggoner, the 17-year old sor
of Henderson Waggoner, an
other prominent farmer. The

ment on Waggoner's engine be
fore getting their patent. They
have been offered $40. 600 fol
the Canadian rights, which
they may accept.
