LOCAL MAN PURCHASES
ANOTHER BIG HERD OF
SPLENDID RANGE CATTLE

A cattle deal, representing better
than a ten thousand dollar transaction,
was closed last week when w. L. Rich
ards of Dickinson purchased 1873 head
Of cows and steers from the Bresden-
Larson Lumber Co. of New England.
The cattle will be kept at the COM
pany's ranch in the Rainy Butte dis
trict Until the latter part of this
mont when they will be taken to the
Berthold Indian reservation where
Mr.. Richards has a large tract of fine
grazing land under government lease.
During the past few months MI.
Richards has purchased several thou
sand head of cattle in Montana, so it
may be seer that this last deal would
not be considered a large n by this
pioneer rancher, who, in the early
days, drove thousands of cattle from
Texas to North Dakota.
While the Bresden-Larson people
have disposed of a large bunch Of cat
tie, they do not intend to go out of the
stock raising business. Their ranch
in the Rainy Butte country is one of
the best equipped small ranches in the
state. They have barns and sheds
sufficient for sheltering 500 head and
for housing hay and feed sufficient for
carrying that many cattle through the
winter months. They are also PLAN
ming on building two large silos this
summer and intend to raise corn
enough to fill them. New England

TAYLOR CITIZENS HONOR
-#. DEPARTING PHYSICIAN

Last Thursday evening one of the
most elaborate banquets was given at
Taylor in honor of DR.. J. P. Weyrens,
who is about to depart for Rochester,
MIMI, which was ever witnessed in
that village. The event was entirely
in the nature of a surprise to the
doctor. In the evening he vas re-
quested to make a professional call
in town and when he vas passing the
auditorium strong hands were laid on
him and he was taken into the hall
where it did not take him long to
realize what his friends had planned.
The first part of the evening was
passed at cards and discussing the
issues of the day. After that came
the banquet. This was served in five
courses and was by far the most
elaborate affair ever given in the vii
lage. H. E. Skauge, cashier of the
Taylor State Bank, acted as toast
master. He stated in brief but we'll
chosen words that the object of the
gathering was to do honor to n of
their citizens who was about to de-
part from their midst. He then called
on a number of guests who gave vent
to their feelings and expressed their
hopes that their departing friends
lot might be everything that is good
and desirable. Chas. Howe, after a
short address presented the doctor
with a golden fountain pen and stated
that the gift was a visible evidence in
a measure of the love and esteem in
which the doctor was held.
DR.. Weyrens responded in words
which showed that he was deeply
moved. He thanked his friends
heartily for their kindness. He then
gave a brief sketch Of his career.
He spoke of the struggles he had to
overcome to get his education on &C
count of limited finances, how his
brother advanced money for him, how
DIR. Perkins of Dickinson came in
touch with him and asked him to
come to western North Dakota and
how the people of Taylor and vicinity
had loyalty stood by him for a period
of eight years. He summed up his
remarks by stating that if he were

THE WAGE EARN
Frs OUTLOOK

Looking into the open book of
1917 one can foresee betterment
in the condition of the wage
Garner. A wave of prosperity
has spread over the land, indus
tries are going at their maxi
mum capacity and look forward
to bigger accomplishments. Dur
ing the past year both skilled
and unskilled workmen were IN
demand in almost every section
of the United States, and this
demand is continuing. This
tremendous squirt in industrial
activity has also affected the
home and home-like of the wage
Garner in general, in that social
conditions have improved and
home-life has been uplifted. The
compensation of the wage earn
er was substantially increased
during the year of 1916, and
this increase will no doubt be
maintained during the coming
wear. The position of the me-
chanic, factory hand, laborer,
etc, is better to-day than ever
before.
Employers, employees, and the
public in general, are directly
concerned in these industrial &C
Invites, and the assistance rem
dered to them by the U. S. Gov
eminent Employment Service
has been invaluable. This Ser
vice was established in 1915 by
the Department of Labor, Wash.
ington, D. c., for the purpose OF
assisting wage-earners in i'm
proving their opportunities for
profitable employment, and at,
fording employers a method
thru which they could secure
such help as they might need.
This Service is no longer in its
experimental stage, it is thor
oughly systematized. Its lnau-

to both employer and employe,
and it's success has been flrrnly
established. An employer can
file his application with a zone
headquarters, or any sub-branch
and if unemployed help is avail
able in that, or any other zone,
it will at once be directed to the
places where employment may
be had.
Twenty zones, with sixty-two
sub-branches, have been estab,
Iished throughout the United
States. Zone 3 comprises the
States of Pennsylvania, Della
ware and West Virginia, and the
main office is located at Nos.
132-134-136 South Third Street,
Philadelphia, Pa, with sub,
branches in the old Federal
Building, Pittsburgh, Pa, where
there are on file calls for iron
workers, wood workers, machln,

anv one desiring to register for
position can do SO with either
office.
