LOAN ASSN
DOING BIG BUSINESS

At q meeting of the directors OF
the Bowbells Federal Farm Loan
Association held one day last week
it was decided to levy an assessment
of one fifth of one per cent Of the
loans made by all members to de-
fray the expenses of the local or
ganization. It was also decided to
allow the secretary q commission
of $500 for each application for q
loan taken. The organization now
has taken something like 40 appli-
cations, many Of which have been
acted on and the members received
their money, and new applications
are being taken right along. Far
mers are fast learning that the
loans obtained from the govern-
sment are procured at the cheapest
possible rate of interest, and we do
not think 1t will be long before all
farm loans will be made from the
government. The association has

automobile which completely de-
moli.hed the buggy and threw Mrs.
Gunderson out upon the radiator
of the car. The autoists stopped
long enough to assist Mrs. Gunder-
son in alighting from the radiator,
then hastily cranked up their car
and were off. The automobile had
no lights and was directly upon
the driver of the horse and buggy
before its presence on the road was
known. That Mrs. Gunderson was
not fatally injured was almost a
miracle. Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Gun
derson, it is reported, sustained SER
ious bodily injury. An auto driver
who has no more sense in his cram
ium than to drive his car without
lights after dark at a speed that
would prevent him from being rea-
sonably sure the road was clear,
deserves a jail sentence and should
be made to "settle for the destruc-
tion he inflicts.

TO LONG
TERM FOR BURGLARY

Minot, N. D., Oct. 11.-K. J.
Davenport, who burglarized the
Madison and Bugge store at o Fox
holm some time ago and who was
caught at Des Lacs with large
supply of burglar tools on his per-
son, entered a plea of guilty TO
burglary before Judge K. E. Leigh
ton of the district court and was
sentenced to serve one year and
three months in the state peniten-
tiary.
Jim Penebarthy, who was arrest
ed on a charge of robbery, entered
a plea Of guilty to charge of as
sault with intent to commit a fell
ony. The men whom it is charged
he had robbed were not able to full
ly identify him as the man who
committed the crime. He was SEN
fenced to six months in the county
Jail by Judge Leighton. He has
already served two months, 80 that
the whole term will be eight
months.

to reside on and work the farm, and
during their short residence here
they proved themselves to be very
amiable in every 7yay, and all their
neEghbors will greatly regret to
see them move away, while the peo-
pie Of Bowbells will be glad to well
come them as residents of the city.
Mr.. Anderson is a hard worker, a
hustler, and is always anxious to
please, and there is no reason why
he should not be able to more than
satisfy the patrons of both his
dray line and feed barn.
Messrs. Mike, Shain and Hessen
will move out to the Anderson farm
as soon as the Ancersons move to
Bowbells and expect to operate the
farm themselves in the future. .
Mr.. Shenneman is making ar
rangements to move onto farm in
Michigan which he has owned for
several years.

START ACTION ON !.
VACCINATION ORDER

A case was started in district
court in Bottineau this week by
DR.. M. J. Farnand against the Bot
tineau school board. ordering the
board to show cause why his chill
dren should be refused admittance
to the public schools, even though
not vaccinated, as ordered by the
state board of health.
The case was heard before Judge
Burr the first of the week, but was
dismissed, as defendants claimed
that they had not refused the chill
dren admission to the schools. On
account of this technicality the case
.was. started anew and will be heard
on it's new merits in a few days.
Awaiting the outcome. of the
case, the children are now permit
ted to attend school.
While DR.. Farnand appears as
the plaintiff In the case, he is sup
norted by several others who like
wise protested against the vaccina-
tion order and refused to have their
children vaccinated.

Burke County Teachers :
Institute q Big Success

The first teachers institute ever
conducted in Burke county is now
in progress at the court house in
this city, there being 76 teachers
from all parts Of Burke county
present. Practically every rural
school teacher in Burke county Is
present, and we are told the insti-
tute is proving very successful in
every way. The session started on
Monday of this week when in addi-
tion to the teachers there were 81
school officers present. On that
day lectures were delivered by DR..
J. L. McBrien of the U. 8. Bureau
Of Education and Prof. A. P. Hollis
of the Agricultural College, both
Of whom gave good talks on the i'm
provement of the rural schools:
Much good advice was given both
the directors and the teachers. Mrs.
A. p Hollis of the Agricultural Col
lege also gave talk on domestic
science. Miss Sullivan, assistant
superintendent of public instruction
also gave a very interesting talk
Monday on the improvements that
could be made in the rural schools
Of every county in the state.
Miss Rud of the Minot state nor
NAL school is spending the entire
week here assisting M . Wort in
conducting the institute. and she
gives interestinv talks each day on
various subjects. Mr.. Wort has
charge of the institute and each day
delivers two or more lectures on
various subjects. All teachers
present are apparently taking a
great interest in the institute and
not only pay close attention to the
talks made but also take notes for
future reference. The session will
close this evening, and today very
interesting talk on domestic science
will be made by speaker sent here
from the Agricultural College.
