tions at the local hospital. DR.. Brown
is we'll and favorably known among the
alumni of the school and was a wei
come visitor.
A standard photograph has been in
stalled in the model rural school and
purchased. This is quite an addition
to the equipment of this school on the
side of recreation and aesthetic devel-
opment.
At last the school clock which has
adorned the assemblyroom wall per-
haps since the beginning of the school,
has been replaced by a new one. This
was a clock which controlled the sys-
tenn Of bells in the school, and it grew
so that 1t could not be depended upon.
1t is expected that the new clock will
be correct in this particular.

Crop More Than Paid
Price Paid for Farm

S Amidon, N. D., Jan. 1910 buy
$50 acres OF land in the spring, break
I'D q part Of it and raise enough OH
from 1870 acres in one season to pay
for the whole quarter section is the
experience of James P. Holzemer, who
Ewes two miles east Of Amidon. That
Is not all of the story either.
& Last spring Mr.. Holzemer bought a
quarter section of land lying just
east of his homestead Of w. P. futile
of Dawson. He paid SIS per acre or
81, 900 for the land. He broke up lao
acres. He put 100 acres into fax
and 10 acres into corn. He got 20
big loads of corn fodder from the
land and the flax which when
sold brought enough at the market
price to pay for the land. He raised
nearly 1900 bushels of fax and has
sold it on an average Of $2.47 per bu-
shell.
: At the time that Mr.. Holzemer
bought the land last spring there
were those who said that SIS per acre
was too much to pay for land situat-
ed so far from the railroad. but the
result of this years crop would make
1t appear as a pretty good invest
ment. Yes, last year was a pretty
good year for flax but Mr.. Holzemer
had other crops which paid him we'll.
a He had 33 acres Of barley that went
40 bushels to the acre. II he sells
his barley for IS cents per bushel this
crop will pay him $50 an acre.
There was one crop that he farmed
very cheaply the past year and al
though the yield was not very big,
paid him well for a very little work.

The year previous heavy hail storm
destroyed his wheat crop just before
it was time to harvest it. The hail
stones beat the grain right into the
ground. Last spring Mr.. Holzemer
found that the grain was beginning
to grow and so he did nothing with it
except cut it and thresh it and got
81 bushels to the acre of Blue Stem
wheat that will sell as No. 2. So there
was 20 acres of his ground that he did
not have to plow, harrow or SOW.
Mr.. Holzemer had 60 acres of oats,
$50 acres of wheat, 1870 of fax, 33
of barley, 20 acres of corn and 9
acres of potatoes. He had good yields
in all of these.
His case is not an exceptional one.
1t is just given as an example Of
what a hard working farmer can &C
complish in the farming line in the
Amidon country. One other man, at
least, in this vicinity made better in
his last years farming
And this country is developing in
spite of the fact that our farmers
have had to haul their grain a dis
lance of from % to 80 miles to mar
ket. With the coming of the Mil
waukee, which will build from New
England to Amidon next spring, this
section of the country is due to have
a more rapid development than any
section of the state. Land is still
selling at low prices. but there is
plenty Of room here for more actual
farmers and plenty of land to sell. A
man with little means will find that
the opportunities for a man who is
willing to work are unlimited.

JURY DISAGREES In
GRAND FORKS CASE

Grand Forks. N. D.. Jan. 19.-After
celebrating about an hour, a jury of
ten business men. called to try
Clarence Robson, chauffeur for DR..
Theodore Bratrud on a charge of
speeding, disagreed. The trial was
held before Police Magistrate Church
yesterday afternoon. No announce
ment was made as to whether the
charge would be pushed further.
The case was the outgrowth Of an
accident last Thursday, when Emil
Knutson, 12-year- son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. X. K. Knutson, 203 Minnesota
avenue, had his leg broken. After an
investigation, the police held the be-
lief that it was the Bratrud car, driv-
en- by Robson, accompanied by DIR. A.
F. Bratrud, which struck the lad and
the chauffeur's arrest followed.
Few witnesses were examined on
each side. The city's witnesses were
Chief of Police Lowe. Frank Smith,
Wickard. The defense presented tes-
timony OF DIR. A. F. Bratrud, Clarence
Robson, Meyer Nodiff and August
Schave.
Mr.. .Nodiff, who appeared as an eye
witness of the accident, was the chief
witness for the defense. He declared
that the car which struck the lad was
enclosed with curtains, containing tale
windows, whereas the BTatrud car is
a glass enclosed Franklin.
Dl. Bratrud testified that the first
intimation he had of the fact that mis-
car was thought to be the one which
struck young Knutson Was Friday
afternoon, when Chief OF Police Lowe
called hiIr.
Robson testified that he knew
nothing of the accident, and that SO
far as he knew the car he was driv-
ing struck no one.
DIR. Bratrud and Robson also gave
detailed testimony as to the number
of times the driver changed gears and
the places where the changes were
made on the trip which they made
about 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon
The testimony was to the effect that
the gear was changed just after they
passed the Barnes g. Nuss sleigh,
from which the Knutson boy jumped
just before he was struck.
Mr.. Schave testified as to the ability
and carefulness of Robson as q
driver.
Chief Lowe TESTIFIED as to his in
vestigation and tallse with DR.. Brat
rud. Mr.. Smith testified that he saw
a car, an enclosed Franklin, dashing
north on Third street Just a moment
or two after the accident. but he did
not see the boy struck. PatHolman
Hanson testified as to making a trip
to the Bratrud home with Chief Lowe,
when the accident was discussed. Mrs.
Wickard, who was standing in front
of the Panovitz store just after the
accident happened, told of seeing q
car dashing at high speed north on
Third street. In none Of the tcsti-
mony was the car positively identified.

"sroNE SOUP" DISCOVERED.

Cleveland Leader: Science is hur-
rying to the rescue. Along sanitary
and military and mechanical lines 1t
has made marvellous progress. In the
culinary field 1t leaves much to be de-
sired Now comes q Philadelphia
chemist and offers mankind a mineral
SCUM that is pronounced fully as nu-
tritious as the finest of beef extract.
He told the Franklin institute the
other night how the substitute is pre-
pared. 1t is decidedly peculiar rec
ipe and one that might well make the
ordinary cook book shudder. You
take portions of sodium phosphate
and calcium carbonate and ammoni-
UNI sulphate, add a little sugar and a.
small amount of yeast. These ingre-
dents are mixed and set away untlF
reaction by autolysis ensues, and q
brown, sticky paste that has all the
nutritious qualities or commercial
beef extract is produced.
According to the chemist 1t is the
yeast that transforms the inorganic
minerals into the pronounced organic
meat substitute. The yeast contains
fermentation agents called engines,
which are responsible for the alter
alton, and produce the food qualities
from the chemicals. There were
doubters about the table, at the
Franklin institute. They insisted
upon tasting ,"stone soup" and pro-
nounced 1t good. They even declared
that 1t was fully equal in nutrition
and appearance to the market variety,
and each of the samplers pronounced
the odor remarkably beeflike.
Incidentally the chemist announced
that the cost of "stone soup" which
he called synthetic meat, is less than
that from the OK or sheep.

CHECKING
SPREADOF
DISEASE
Public Health Laboratory
is Fighting Epidemic
at York, N. d.

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. ia very
serious condition prevails in the town
of York, North Dakota, where an
epidemic Of diphtheria has broken out.
Two deaths have occurred. and there
are eighteen cases.
The town has a population OF about
500 people, and there is no resident
physician. A representative of the
main public health laboratory at the
university has gone to aid in checking
the epidemic. and representative of
the state board Of health is there al
so. DR.. w. F. Robertson, retired
physician, and now president of a
bank in Rolette is devoting his en-
tire time to caring for the sick.
This epidemic need not have as
sumed so grim an aspect had the state
board Of health and the public health
laboratories been informed at the be-
ginning. But insufficient funds have
been allowed for the carrying on of
health work, and the notification of
this epidemic came to the public
health laboratory through a third or
fourth party. and only after the
disease had had q chance to spread
through the town.
If sufficient money were appropriat-
ed for the health officers to collect
the data and keep the public health
books such epidemics could be easily
avoided.
Another representative Of the public
health laboratory who is an expert in
the handling of such cases, and who
has checked q number Of such seri-
Gus epidemics in the state during the
past few months, returned yesterday
from the western part of the state,
and will go to York this morning to
aid the stricken town,

''tvs are always inp;ik:ul for the
advice and assistance of our friends,
but the concern that some of them
have been exhibiting as to what the
agricultural college should, or rather
should not teach, is beginning to get
on our nerves.
I'VE all have much to learn and are
sure to make mistakes. but we do
think we have pretty clear and def
mite ideas of what we are working
for and we say frankly to our off1cious
advisers that we don't fall in with the
program they have mapped out for
us.
1--WE realize the great debt that ag-
riculture owes to science, the science
that has found its birth and develop
ricultural colleges.
We also gratefully acknowledge the
benefit we have derived from all
forms and types of education, and we
wish them WELL We support them
without complaint and rejoice 7 in
their success.
IF our friends in other fields were
wholly wise they would wish ana
work for our success, for none OF us
can get very far If agriculture lagS
behind.
IF there is a way to make ,agricul-
ture profitable and permanent, so that
the soil will yield it's full harvest af-
ter many generations of men have
sown and reaped, 1t. will be through
the way marked out by science. There
can be no question as to the truth Of
this; There should be no question as
to the course that we should take.
From the standpoint of patriotism,
of wisdom and even our own self
interest we must determine that
whatever aid agriculture may receive
from sciences Though our, efforts shall
be freely and fully given, ana that
here as elsewhere. we will guard and
defend our rights"
