Spending Kale He
Earned Years Ago

Hon. w. A. Mcclure, better known
to his friends as "Dogie," became a
trifle excited on the eve Of his we'd
ding some 22 years ago, and thereby
hangs tale. 1t is said that in his
hurry to get away on his honeymoon
trip he forgot his mileage book and
his brides. ticket at the house, and as
a result had to "dig down. and buy
other tickets. Upon his return he at
tempted to redeem the unused trans
portation, but alas, the N. P. railway
became financially embarrassed and
went into receivership. They wouldn't
pay 'Dogie" back his money.
But now the Northern Pacific has
money again to burn, and recent
supreme court decision was made that
caused Mr.. Mcclure to think that he
could get his money for the old
tickets. He made application, and
after little winding Of red tape, a
draft was issued and he now has the
pleasure of spending money earned
long before his matrimonial venture,
nearly quarter of century ago.

Mail Service to
New England is
Much in Demand

Pressure is being brought to bear
upon the United States Post Office
Department, by both New England
and Dickinson people, for the estab-
lishment of daily mail service between
these two cities. A daily stage serv-
ice has been conducted for several
years, and there is no reason why
mail could not be transported from
Dickinson to New England overland,
as we'll as to Manning, and many
other points. Under the present
system the progressive little city of
New England is often without mail
service for weeks at time, especially
during severe winter, such as oc-

Potato Warehouse Would
Prove Community Asset

method Of preparing the soil for po-
tatoes, the treatment Of seed, plant
ing, digging, etc. Superintendent
John c. Thysell, Of the Dickinson ex-
pertinent station, gave short talk in
which he encouraged the farmers to
carry out their plans for warehouse
and offered advice and the service Of
the local station to those who would
avail themselves Of the opportunity
of learning more about the potato in
dustry.
The plan of the warehouse and or
ganization was ably presented by w.
J. Motley, manager of the Farmers
Cooperative Union Elevator Com
pany. Mr.. Motley stated that the
Warehouse could be built near the
company's elevator, and the company
would plan to use the ground floor
space for storage purposes, thus
eliminating portion Of the cost OF
building and the additional cost Of
keeping a salaried man at the ware
house all the time. He stated that in
his opinion the farmers should have q
guarantee of at least 600 acres being
put into potatoes before further build
ing plans were made, and that with
that acreage in view the warehouse
would prove to be very profitable to
the grower. AS it has been in past
years here there has been no market
for potatoes in large quantities in the
fall of the year and once winter sets
in the farmers have no market for
large quantities until the following
spring. By storing the potatoes in
the Warehouse each individual farm
er could sell his crop at any time and
could cooperate with his neighbors
on large shipments. :.
Others who talked on the subject
of potato growing were M. L: Nc
Bride, O. A. Brown and c. F. Merry.

Two CHARGED With
Wife DESERTI0N

States Attorney H. A. Burgeson
caused the arrest of two parties from
near Scheffield this week on charges
of wife desertion. A warrant was
served by members of the sheriF's S
department. on Carl Kubischta, Jr.,who
was taken before Judge A. P. Folsom
and furnished bonds for his appear
ance at a preliminary examination.
It is the opinion of the officers that
this case will be Strengthened up as
the parties concerned seem to be will
ing to drop the charge if Kubischta s
future conduct will warrant it.
The other charge on a similar ma
ture is brought against Konstantine
Muth' who evidently heard of the
action before the warrant could be
served and left for parts unknown.
