Back To The Farm

Back to the Farm" is a gen.
uine rural play. 1t tells the
story of a farm lad who saw big
things in agriculture. He want
ed to go away to school to learn
how to make the farm a more
intereresting place to live on.
His father, a farmer of the old
school, objected. The lad per-
sisted and finely went away.
The four years at college were
long and hard. He worked his
way thru but he stuck it out.
He turned down an offer from
the college authorities. He went
back to the old farm and made it
the best farm home in the land
The play is a clever comedy and
takes well every way.
THE LITTLE COUNTRY
THEATRE PLAYERS who are
to present this drama of county
life in Hope, Friday, August 3rd,
have achieved great success on
many occasions. A little over
a year ago three crowded houses
greeted them in THE LITTLE
COUNTRY THEATRE. Over
1000 people witnessed it in one
of Fargo's largest halls. Just
last January over 5000 farmers
saw the play at the Tri-state
Grain Growers Convention in
the Fargo Auditorium. All pro-
nounced it excellent. The char
acter of Gus, the hired man,
creates a sensation because of
the homley use of the Scandin-
avian dialect. AT Armenia, Har-
vey, Aneta and Fessenden, as
we'll as several other communit-
les in North Dakota, farmers
have come in to greet the play
from Is to 80 miles around. 1t
is safe to predict a record break.

Summer Complaint

During the hot weather of the
summer months some member
of almost every family is likely
to be troubled with an unnatural
loosness of the bowels, and it is
of the greatest Importance that
this be treated promptly, which
can only be done when the medi.
cine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F.
Scott, Scottville, N. Y. states: Il
first used Chamberlains' Collie
and diarrhoea Remedy as much
as five years ago. At that time
l had a severe attack of summer
complaint and was suffering in
tense pain. One dose relieved
me. Other members of my
family have since used it with
like results.

ated with MT. Flanders for the
 past ten years. He is an author
 ity on the development of the motor car business and can re- count many interesting and
 picturesque phases of it.
 Early in the year 19O9,"
 said MT. Toner, "the entire
 motor world was startled by
 news from Detroit that a newly
 organized company called the E. M. F. Motor Company would
 produce a 30 H. P. fully equip ped automobile for S12OO.OO. Bear in mind that in those days all other similar cars were sell ing at prices from $2OOO to $3OOO. Walter E. Flanders, the organizer and president of the IE. M. F. Co.,, said he would build 10000 cars the first year and unheard of quantity and thru that big volume he could cut the selling price in half.
 Immediately there was a storm of ridicule. Manufactur- CTS derided the idea and some of the best posted journals hooted the plan as that of an impractical dreamer. And then they went on to prove mathem- atically that even if 10000 such cars could be built in year, they could not be sold.
 "Of course the cars were built, as everyone now knows, and they were sold. How was it done? By concentrating on one model, by more efficient automatic machinery, by the economies of quantity purchases by big newspaper advertising.
 "We are now confronted with the identical situation with re- spect to the Maxwell Truck. There is no such thing as big production. We do not know of any truck builder who has an production of as many IS 5000 vehicles. Consequent y prices are high.
 "We are entering the trpck ield as the worlds biggest pro- lucer. We shall build perhaps 10000 during the first year. And the price we have fixed '795 is about one-half of that quoted by the makers of similar rucks. The Maxwell truck is pound to win instant success. It s a real truck, thru and thru, md has a tremendous market O fill. Already we have orders n hand for thousands and our lealers say they could at once Iispose of all we could manu- acture in two years.
 Watch the Maxwell Truck. is going to fulfill our pre- fiction exactly as it's predeces- or did," t

 No school election this year as most of the residents were not at home. We hope to have school with a good attendance and to keep it up all summer. The law requires a regular at tendance of eight pupils, which l has not been kept up the last year. We should endeavor to keep the school here and to as- sist the teacher in every way.
 MT Fred Platten received word that Congress had passed a bill on March 4th, 1917, to pension all veterans of the In- dian wars, who served during any of the wars from 1849 to January, 1891 inclusive. A pen sion of $29 per month is grant ed. MT. Platten will benefit un- der this law as he already re- ceives $1O a month extra pen sion for a medal of honor awarded him by Congress in 1876. All this has been done by the Democratic party in the last year. It pays to serve your country in it's time of need.
