ness men from the city of Jamestown. The pro-
portion at this time and far possible in
every succeeding step up to the big banquet which
closed the festival finally and successfully held.
was just "ffty-ffty'' half city people, half farm
people on every committee and in every confer
ence.
This conference held in August, decided to hold
Farm and City festival, real get-together, in
November. mot county fair, but better than
county fair, with the vaudeville features omitted
was the way it was expressed At the initial meet
ing it was decided to carry out this get-together
idea by making the exhibits of an educational
character as far as possible in every instance.
To do this and to finance it several committees
were named. street was closed and covered
with tents. Other tents were put up on vacant
lots and the state armOry was used. All sorts OF
Cxhbits-prize livestock, poultry dairy products,
grains fruit vegetables etc.-were shown and
prizes awarded. State experts in all phases of
farming, in domestic science in child welfare, IN
dietetics etc. delivered lectures to the city and
country people. A railroad traffic expert dis
cussed plans for helping producer on the farm to
get his products directly and expedtiOusy to con-
sumner in the city, The government sent good
roads exhibit, and motion pictures were used to
make many of the lectures more graphically inter-
esting.
And then there was great closing dinner Five
hundred persons representing every part of the
county and city attended this affair. There was
fine music for one thing-orchestral and choral
work. led by Cornell university music instructors,
and solos-and Gov. Charles S. Whitman who was
in the city on campaign trip left politics behind
and he and Mrs. Whitman attended the banquet.
"Co-operation" and "get acquainted" were the
watchwords of the occasion. Two weeks after
ward the committees met and decided unanimous
~ to hold another EARN and City Get-Together
Festival" next year.

necreased Cost Of LIVING.

The cost of 1000 candle-hours of
light a century ago was about $3.50
when the candle and sperm oil lamp
were the only available illuminants.
The coming of kerosene cut the cost
to 50, and along toward the latter half
of the nineteenth century the same
amount could be purchased for a dol
lar. Competition between Kerosene and
gas further reduced the cost until in
the last quarter of a century a thou
sand eandle-hours cost less than so
cents. With the present efficiency of
the electric lamp the cost of the same
unit is about ten cents, or one-twenty-
fifth OF the original cost century ago.

plant distrust and contempt with fellowship and
co-operation And it Works-Ladies and gentle
men, it works beautifully!
The enterprising citizens of jamestown, y. T.,
and the farm people who live in the counties sur
rounding the city (Which have a population OF
about 100000 joined heads, hearts and hands this
last autumn in a great Farm and City Celtic
gether Festival and the affair was such huge
success that permanent organization was
formed and the festival will be held annually here
after.
Here is an illustration of how misunderstanding
is bred and why 1t persists sometimes:
James Mason, city drygoods merchant, drove
out in the country one pleasant Sunday afternoon
in October, and astonshed at the number
of apples he the ground in orchards along
the roadside. II cannot buy good apples at the
grocery next my store" he complained, unless
pay Alaska prices for them, cents each. Yet
here they rotting on the ground"
Mason jumped to the conclusion that the farm
ers did not try to the apples, or to help the
city man and his family get food. "They are
both selfish and lazy" he asserted when he told
of the experience.
Simon Newcomb lived farm near where
Mason drove that Sunday. He had been i'll town
Saturday afternoon with load of apples. The
groceryman looked them over, and offered New
comb 80 cents a bushel Newcomb had read in
his farm paper that apples were scarce and he
thought he ought to have dollar a bushel.
"But your apples not sorted. There are sew
eral kinds in the one crate, and many of them
are inferior in size, and some badly worm eaten"
objected the grocer. sYou leave them with me
for so cents a bushe else take them some
where else"
Newcomb looked at his watch and saw it was
nearly chore time, and he sold them. But when
he got home he told his wife the grocer took adj
vantage Of him and was little better than rob-
Der.
But both men were wrong. The orchard owner
was not lazy nor selfish. He had other problems
worse to handle and more necessary to him than
picking up and saving a few bushels of apples.

WHAT THEY KNEW OF SPORTS
Humorous Ignorance Shown by Men
in Their Effort to Boost Their
Favorite Cities.

OF all the funny stories recall at
the present moment, i think / can work
up the best laugh over the tale of the
two Irishmen who were arguing about
the relative merits of New York and
Chicago. You know, there is type
Of person who, when he knows moth
ing about a thing, and finds you don't
know either, will start in and explain
it to you. These two were both of that
kind. Said one:
"Why, in New York we have grass
growing right on the roof, just the
same as down on the ground. You can
have your front yard on top of your
house,
That's nothin'," declared the 9TH
er. TN Chicago we play golf on the
roofs.''
Golf. You mean that game where
you knock a ball back and forth across
a net?''
Eyes, that's IT,
''You dommed idjut, that's not golf
You're talkin' about croquet."
Eyes, said the other one. II know
you couldn't mean golf. How would

Nor was the grocer a robber. He had trade
offered him did not conform to those standards.
All wrong, almost from the start
Just as the foregoing illustration makes plain
the problem more than pages Of generalities, so
the experience of Jamestown in its first Farm and
City festival will show how the effort to get to-
gether succeeds better than more pages of plati-
tudes.
First Of all Jamestown had live board Of
commerce. and q secretary with vision not
bounded by the factory chmneys of the city nor
it's city limits. Secretary Fred Clayton Butler
had been studying some United States census re-
ports on Chautauqua county, n. Y, and he dis
covered that most of the rural towns of the county
and all its rural villages, but two three that
had lot of factories, had decreased in population
in the last three decades. He did not need to
be told about the increase in cost of living. That
was selfevident
In surveying the field he found that there
an active apple growers association in Chautau-
farm bureau, a lot Of big oranges, and number
of farmers clubs. The manager of the farm
bureau was Hawley B. Rogers, and Mr.. Rogers
was called into conference with Mr.. Butler.
'.You do not need to tell me anything about de-
creasing rural populations, interrupted Rogers,
when Butler started in on his pet paragraph. Il
knew all about that before you city people awak-
ened. But what we do about it?
Right here the city man had the farm bureau
man beaten "We can get together and find out"
was his reply II know that the city people have
n double stake at ISSUE the cost Of what they
must have to eat, and the market for large part
of their goods. I think your people have some
thing at stake also. You want good roads, and
good schools, and good markets. Perhaps we can
get together"
Out of this conference grew bigger conference,
present at which were representatives OF most OF

Our present enemy Is fully aware
Of this fact. and his knowledge is
shown In his extraordinary activity

One Of the most effective why's to

Of its opponents. II diasension
and strife can be shown in ito ranks
these Of themselves win soon bring
about its downfall without much

Unfortunately, there seems to be
current in this country an idea
that any course Of action 10 permis-

assumption, opponents Of the gov

Fortunately. however, this same
question has arisen before in this
country. In the war between the

he went directly to the root Of the
matter and defined for all time the
rights Of citizens as to freedom OF
speech in times OF national peril.
Hear him:
"He who dissuades one man
from volunteering, or induces one
soldier to desert, weakens the
Union cause as much as he who
kills . Union soldier In battle.
Yet this discussion or inducement
may be SO conducted as to be
no defined crime OF which any
civil court would take cognizance"

and asserted the indisputable right
OF the government to suppress all

What Ambition and
Hustle Will DO in
Sunny North Oak.

Alex Monty, prosperous rancher and
farmer residing five miles southwest
of Belfeld, recently returned from a
short visit at his old home near Bear
Creek, Wisconsin. Mr.. Monty is an
other striking example of what hustle
and work will do in Sunny North Da-
okta. Just IL years ago Mr.. Monty
came with his family to the Missouri
Slope from Wisconsin, where he lab
ored for several years without ma
terial increase of his finances. When
he arrived in North Dakota all he
possessed was $500 and lot of am
bition.
He put both to good use, however,
and settled on piece of land where
his present home is located. He pros
pered from the very beginning, and
soon bought more land and more
stock. Now he owns fine farm con-
sisting of $40 acres, about 80 head of
stock, several horses, nearly a hun
dred head of hogs, besides aacomfort-
able bank account. The farm i'm
provements include a fine 1O-room
residence and mammoth barn, togeth-
er with numerous sheds, granaries
and big silo. His home is lighted
with electricity from his own power
plant. He raises cattle, hogs, corn,
small grains and hay. He owns a car
and enjoys life. Quite a change from
grubbing brush land back in Wiscon-
sin, without any chance of increasing
his financial standing.

4 Romance of theTexas Border

The following article published re-
Gently in the Galesburg, Illinois,
Mail, will be of interest to Lieutenant
Deane Wiley's many friends and ac-
quaintances in this city:
Romance the kind that has
filled the minds and hearts of maid
ems since the time Of Eve, the kind
that bathes the most commonplace
happenings of everyday life in a rosy
glow and that helps keep this old
world young-has entered into the
life of Miss Ruth Stuart, former
Galesburg girl, now of Mercedes,
Texas, and a graduate of Knox Con-
servatory of Music in June, 1916.
Putting aside memories of college
dances, sorority spreads and dramatic
successes Miss Stuart left Galesburg
in July for Mercedes, where her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Amzi Stuart, had
made their home for the past two
years. The Stuarts while here lived
at 1886 North Cherry street.
With a dignity which descended
upon her with the winning of her di-
ploma Miss Stuart resolved to devote
her life to the teaching of music. But
Fate willed differently. Stationed in
and near Mercedes were thousands
and thousands of Uncle Sans soldiers
sent from many different states to
protect Americans from the Mexicans.
The Dickinson press. (Dickinson, Stark County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1927, 1917-02-03

Soon Miss Stuart found herself inter-
ested in the army atmosphere which
enveloped the Texas town and the
summer was one long, glorious good
time. Among army officers was Lieu
tenant Deane Wiley, stationed there
with a regiment from North Dakota.
With the introduction of Miss Stuart
and Mr.. Wiley the romance began and
the rosy light was turned on. Just
recently Mr.. Wiley was released from
border service and before his return
to his home in Dickinson, North Da-
kota, the engagement of Miss Stua rt
and Mr.. Wiley was announced.
Mr.. Wiley is the owner of a large
cattle ranch in Dickinson. He is a
college mana graduate of the Uni
versity of Michigan and a member of
the Sigma Chi fraternity. During
her college life and residing in Gales
burg Miss Stuart was very active in
musical and social circles. She took
the difficult leading part in "The Dra-
matte Soprano" written by Prof. D.
E. Watkins and Prof. J. Mac. Weddell
and was also prominent in the senior
class play, "The Prince Chap" last
June. She is member of the Delta
Delta Delta sorority.
The wedding of Miss Stuart and Mr..
Wiley will probably take place in the
fall.

Word comes from the United States
Treasury Department at Washington
that practically all of the currency
which was charred in the. fire which
destroyed the Farmers State Bank at
Belfield the last of December, will be
redeemed. One by one the bills are
being identified by the governments
experts and as soon as the job is COM
pleted Treasurer John Burke will send
a draft for the redemption of the dam
aged currency. There were ten or a
dozen one dollar Canadian bills which
will be returned to the Farmers State
Bank and it may be that the bank will
not known what the Dominion govern
ever, the matter will be taken up with
the proper officials in due time and an
effort made to get them to redeem the
charred bills.
Contractor Charles Bakke has in
spected the walls of the bank and has
already placed orders for everything
that will be needed in rebuilding the
place. He will put a crew of men at
work on rebuilding within few days
and hopes to have the structure ready
for occupancy by the first of May.
Much depends upon the weather, how
ever, as to how fast the work can be
pushed along. AS previously stated,
several improvements are to be made
in the reconstruction of the Farmers
State Bank. The vault will be carried
up for use of Attorney H. A. Mackoff
on the second floor and the tile on the
first floor will also be extended New

the mind of many old timers the

authorities as accurate and this was

FRIENDS OF J. C.. R.
MAY APPEAL CASE
TO SUPREME COURT

An effort is being made among the
friends Of the 'man of mystery" to
raise sufficient funds to carry the
famous J. c. R. case to the supreme
court for final decision. Those who
interested themselves in the recent
trial which resulted in a decision
against J. C. R. are said to be con-
fident that J. c. R. is Jay Allen Cald-
well and, although, the matter has not
as yet been definitely decided, the
case may be appealed.
T. D. Casey, senior member of the
firm Of Casey & Burgeson, who so
ably represented the plaintiff at the
trial here before Judge Nuessle, in
formed representative Of the Press
yesterday that the friends of J. C. R.
had been endeavoring to secure funds
with which to defray the expenses,
and that the case would probably be
appealed if they were successful in
their efforts.
j. c. R. has remained in this city
since the trial closed three weeks ago.
