AN act to restrain the isuing of county
is still in full force and effect, except as
modified by later enactments fixing max

ty commissioners and county clerks from
issuing county warrants in any one year
in excess of the revenues to be derived
from the tax levy for such year

later and earlier act of the legisiat ature
and where the Later act does not attempt to
cover all the provisions of the earlier act,
both acts ordinarily remain in force except
on the point where the acts are in conflict

See Child Welfare
Exhibit Saturday

The fact that many parents have
not great deal to spend for nursery
equipment is no reason why baby
may not be provided with all the COM
forts necessary to his well being. If
you are interested in seeing arrange
ments that other mothers have found
practical in caring for small children,
and apparatus to amuse them, be sure
to see the Child Welfare Exhibit at
l. 0. O. F. hall Saturday afternoon,
April Is. There will be display Of
garments of the most approved type,
and all the other various articles that
meet the needs of an up-to-date baby.
There will be an exhibit of home play
that may solve for you the problem
of keeping little folks amused with
things worth while. 1t is hoped that
the exhibit will prove Of value to
those who wish to better their home
surroundings. Some interesting liter
ature has been secured from various
sources and will be distributed in con-
nection.

FARMERS OF COUNTY
BETTER FARM AGENT HALL 1S-
SUES TIMELY LETTER TO FAR
MERS REGARDING WORK
Williston, N. d., April II, 1916.

Wllliston, n. d., April IL, 1916.
Sir:-
At the opening of the 1916 season,
there are a few things would like
to call to your attention.
A great many acres of sweet clover
are to be seeded in Williams county
this season. This crop is still an ex-
pertinent with us. We do not know
exactly how it should be seeded or
the rate to seed, Yellow flowered may
be as good as white flowered. This
remains to be determined by exper-
ience. Do not invest too much in the
crop. Try different rates and meth
DDS of seeding. Five pounds per acre
may be too light and ten pounds too
heavy. We believe the correct rate
to seed is probably eight to ten
pounds. There are two things that
we are sure of with sweet clover. One
is that it must have firm seed bed;
the other that being a small seed it
should not be seeded over one-half
to one inch deep.
Kindly let me know if you are try
ing sweet clover so that we can have
the benefit of your experience for the
whole county. We can tell more
about sweet clover after we have seen
results in this county for two seasons.
If you have piece of alfalfa seed
ed last year, 1915, rake the weeds off
the first thing this spring and cross
drag it with a common drag. Do not
disc it. Later in the season cultivate
it between the rows. Do not plow up
alfalfa even though it looks poor. 1t
will surprise you in it's growth, and
as rule come out good. Advise me
early if you want help in seeding al
falfa. If you are seeding Grimm, be
sure it is Grimm. I can help. you sell
seed from it if we are sure that it is
Grimm.

MANY WASHOUTS ON
SMALLER STREAMS
TRAINS DELAYED, TELEPHONE
SERVICE CUT OFF-BRIDGES
WASHED OUT BY FLOODS

AS a result of the warmer weather
there have been many washouts on
the small creeks around the country.
Monday night the small stream west
of White Earth washed out bridge
and caused several hours delay in the
trains. Tuesday night the floods
again washed out the repaired work
in the same location and the mail
trains did not arrive in Williston un-
til about noon Wednesday.
The small streams in this section
of the country were endeavoring to
be real rivers and riveled the Old
Missouri itself causing trouble, while
the little Muddy was the real thing
in the way of a river. North Of the
city about mile and from that point
further north it was over it's banks
and flooded the bottoms. The red
bridge north Of the city was damaged
considerable.
Sand Creek and the Stony were
both on the rampage. The Stony
gorged near Avoca and when it broke
loose Monday night it came down
covering the entire flats to depth of
over three feet and carrying with it
parts of bridges, telephone poles, etc,
together with large cakes of ice. As
a result the flats around the Sharp
home are covered with ice and the
telephone company are short twenty
or thirty poles and telephone service
east.
Sand Creek evidently was jealous
and seemed to think that while it was
not as hard a proposition as the
Stony it had at least the Sand to try
and as result several bridges are
out. The one just west of the city
near the Hagan farm was damaged,
one of the cement piers being washed
under and around until it settled sew
eral feet.

TO OUR GOVERNMENT
YOUNG INVENTOR SELLS TOR
PEDO CONTROL SECRET TO
UNCLE SAM FOR $75O,OOO'

Washington, April 10.-For $780,
900 a young American inventor is
about to surrender to Uncle Sam all
the patents and the exclusive right
to the use Of device by which a tor
pedo can be launched against bat
tleship of an enemy and so directed
and controlled by radio dynamic
forces either from shore or from
aeroplane as to insure it's striking its
mark at a maximum distance of %
miles.
John Hays Hammond, Jr., Of Glou-
cester, Mass, the wizard son of John.
Hays Hammond, mining engineer, is
the inventor and owner of 218 patents
which will be turned over to the gov
ernment.
Although only % years old, young
Hammond has accomplished what
many of the military scientists Of 9th
er countries have tried to perfect and
failed.
He alone possesses the secret, and
if congress accepts his offer he will
reveal it only to those designated by
the government.
Committee Approve Purchase
Mr.. Hammond has also stipulated
that in addition to turning over all
rights to his patents he will devote
his time gratis to cooperating in in
stalling the apparatus.
Discovery that the government IL
willing to pay young Hammond .
fortune for his invention was made
with the introduction in the house Of
the Notifications bill. The sum of
$75O,0O0 was approved as fair
price, both by military officials and.
subcommittee.
There is the authoritative state
ment that Hammond refused to sell
his invention for fabulous sum to
one of the European countries now
at war, explaining to the old world
bidder that no amount would tempt
him to give them the preference over,
his native land.
Hammond Spent 100000
When it became known Mr.. Ham
mond had expended 100000 in per-
fecting his device and had labored
continuously on it for eight years, the
sum he asked was considered reason
able.
Four years ago he discovered the
principle for which all had been
searching. For two years he exper-
fenced under the eyes of officers Of

THE new CHAIRMAN
LAFAYETTE B. GLEASON OF
NEW YORK is NAMED SEC
RETARY FOR CONVENTION

Chicago, April 7.-Senator Warrer
Harding, of Ohio, was selected as
temporary chairman of the republi.
can national convention by unani.
nous vote of the subcommittee or
arrangements of the republican ma
tional committee on the first ballot
Other convention officials are:
Lafayette B. Gleason, of New York
secretary.
William F. Stone, of Baltimore,
sergeant-at-arms.
George L. Hart, of Roanoke, Vir-
ginia, official reporter.
The selection Of Senator Harding
for temporary chairman occupied but
little time. The committeeman were
all of one mind and there was no dis
cussion before the vote was taken.
Without exception, the committeeman
declined to discuss presidential posi-
bilities, taking the position that later
they would have to pass contested DEL
egations, and therefore they are in
nature a quasi-judicial body, and that
such discussion would be construed as
prejudicial to possible candidates.
Chairman Hilles declared that the
entire committee is confident of the
success for the republican party next
fall, and reiterated that the conven-
ton would be open minded and offer
a free field for all presidential candi-
dates.
"Our only hope," he said, "is to
nominate the best man available and
then elect him. There is confidence
and enthusiasm everywhere in the
party"

ATTENDS Meeting AND
WANTS TO . KNOW
FARMER INTERESTED IN HIS
TORY OF LEADERS OF NON.
PARTISAN LEAGUE

A meeting Of the Non Partisan
League was held in the court house
in Williston last week. 1t was my
privilege to attend that meeting and
listen to the speeches. Owning half
section of land and operating 1t I
naturally was vitality interested in
the questions under discussion. In
a state like ours with rs per cent of
the population actively engaged in
tilling the soil it seems and is reason
able to demand that fair majority
of the legislative bodies Of this state
should come from the farm. The ter
minal elevator proposition has our
Endorsement but we don't agree with
the speaker who said that the loca-
tion of that terminal was a matter
of little consequence. We think it
matters much. Certainly the farm
ers of this country should dictate the
price of the produce Of their farm.
Not how much will you give me for
my potatoes, my hogs, my grain, etc.,
but want so much. Think, if you
can, of doctor, an attorney or mer-
chant asking a farmer how much
they will give them for their services
or wares. In the language Of the
street, nothing doing" I think,
however, we should be a little care
full. The history Of all movements
resembles the swing Of pendulum.
Often times men are carried away
with their enthusiasm. Many Of US
have invested money in this League
and the leaders have used our money.
We are placing lot Of confidence in
these leaders. l wonder how many of
us have taken the pains to look these
men up. They told US they were the
chosen Of God. If they are going to
take the yoke off our neck and the
burden from our back and lead us out
Of the land of bondage into a good
land and sweet we better make sure
that our confidence will not be dis
placed. For my part I should like to
show something of the past life Of the
leaders Of this league. What IS +'hoi"
reputation for honesty and fair DEAL
ing. The president of the league told
us that he was an ex-minister of the
gospel. If he put his hand to the
plow, why did he turn back? Why
did he leave the Ministry of the
Church? !? l think we have been car
ried away with our feelings. Let us
come down to earth and be sure of
the men in whom we would place the
destines of this state.-A FARMER.

NAKED MAN WAS
KILLED BY. !. TRAIN r
RUNNING DOWN MIDDLE OF
TRACK CLAD IN HABILIMENTS
OF EDEN ONLY

Glasgow, Mont, April 1O.-Report
was brought to this city yesterday by
delayed No. 2 of the killing of man
few miles west of Chinook yester.
day morning.
AS the train was running little
late between Yantic and Chinook and
was making pretty good speed, the
engineer saw a stark naked figure run
ming down the middle of the track
ahead of the train. An effort was
made to stop the train, but they struck
the man before this could be accom-
plished, and the body was thrown to
one side of the track, where it was
picked up by the train crew few
moments later.
On examination the body proved to
be a stranger weighing about 200
pounds, and he was barefooted and did
not have a stitch of clothes about him,
nor could any wearing apparel be
found along the track in the vicinity
Of where the man was first seen on
the track.
Conductor Hi" Coster ran to the
bleeding figure as soon as the train
was stopped but life was extinct and
there was not the least clew as to the
strangers identity.
In picking the body up and putting
it on the train to take It into CID.
nook, Conductor Coster got all cover
ed with blood and it was necessary for
Attorney George E. Hurd of Great
Falls to come to his aid with some
clean linen so that he could change
his clothes and appear presentable for
the balance of his run.
Up to the present time the identity
of the man is yet unsolved and no
plausible theory can be advanced as
to how he happened to be out along
the railroad track at that time of the
without clothing. That he
was demented is unquestioned and it
is probable that he will be identified
as homesteader living out among
the hills west of Chinook.
