New York, March 19.-With the
nation, wide railroad strike ayerted
md the fAdamson act declared consti-
tutional, the controversy that has rag
ed between the railroads and their em-
ployees for nearly q year over the
question Of hours and wages today
passed into history.
{ Appealed to by the Presidents
meditators to yield on the grounds Of
patriotism 70 the demands Of the en-
ployees the railroads just before day
break today consented to an agree
rnent whereby the employees receive
the eight hour basic work day and pro
rata pay for overtime, the same as
that provided by the Adamson law.
Several hours later the United States
supreme Court upheld the constitu-
tiaselity Of the Adamson act and what
~ thsrhoods had already obtained
by their threat to call a nationwide
strikeats7 o'clock today, the supreme
court legally assured to them by its
decree. s Z,

titled to,s iAasmuch. as thu arissement
signed by both sides and the Ada6-
son law provides that the operation of
the low wage and hour schedule shall
be retrotractive beginning Jan. 1.
The brotherhoods and the railroad
managers will get together on this
matter to decide how it will be COM
puted. Il is estimated the employees
have between 81, ,O00, 900 and $13, ,000,-
600 coming to them.
The brotherhood chiefs were in a
happy mood yesterday as they dis
patch ed their code kilograms calling
of the strike. They had not won all
they had asked for from the railroads
when they first presented their de-
mands on March 80, 1916, having lost
the time and a half for overtime fea-
ture, but they secured what they
agreed to take last August when they
accepted the Adamson law and which
the railroads fought in the courts.
w. G. Lee, spokesman for the four
brotherhoods made it plain yesterday
that he looked for peace in the railroad
world for a long time. Asked wheth-
er there was any intention to bring up
in the conference today the question
Of punitive overtime, Mr.. Lee said:
That will not be brought up now.
We believe that overtime can largely
be done away with by speeding up the
schedules"

People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tortures
of an aching back, relief is eagerly
sought for. There are many remedies
today that relieve, but do not cure,
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought last
ing results to thousands. Here is Mi
not evidence of their merit.
Mrs. G. P. Wartchow, tbs Valley

couldn't lift the lightest weight OF
stoop over. At times I had SHARP
pains through my kidneys: The kid

A mock trial will shortly be present

the rehearsals, should prove irresist-
ably funny. A score or more of the
younger generation are thoroughly in
terested, and the subject is one that
will doubtless arouse widespread sup
port. A program, consisting of vocal
and instrumental music, contributed
by the cream of local talent will pre-
cede the trial, and we understand that
the nominal charge for admission will
be donated towards reducing the debt
on our hall. The date of production
has been fixed for Friday, January 26,
and all should endeavor to encourage
the effort by attending.

HOW THRIFTY FARMER
SUCCEEDED IN WARD

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
Vac Barta, thrifty farmer residing
a short distance from Minot, came
to Ward county about seven years ago
with only few hundred dollars worth
of personal property, including few
cows and small outfit of horses.
Friends assisted him in starting farm
ing operations and today he is worth
$4,000 easily.
Mr.. Barta is not what one can con-
slider a "big" farmer, on the other
hand he farms on a rather small scale,
but he does his work so we'll that he
has never had complete failure. He
uses plenty of horses and plows his
ground very deep and always in good
season. Mr.. Barta bought the farm
seven years ago from Olaf A. Olson
for $40 an acre. He built house last
summer worth $4,000 and has other
good improvements. He would not
Sell his quarter section of land for
$4,000 today.
Mr.. Barta keeps complete set OF
books pertaining to his farming oper-
atoms. In seven years his crops have
sold for an average Of 81 1866 per year
not bad considering that he had only
100 acres under cultivation. He keeps
four cows, eight horses and sixteen
hogs on the farm at present and raises
plenty of feed, besides he sells con-
siderable. A small patch of alfalfa
produced 20 tons last year and he sold
some of it to a neighbor for $12 per
ton. He never pays cash for his groc-
ceries and clothing, as he always has
butter, cream and eggs to pay his way.
Mr.. Barta owns an auto and does not
have to "chew anybody's dust"

mo INDEMNITY, NO TERRI.
TORY"
BY OPIE READ,
Famous Author.

Behind the bayonet there must be
the patriotic dollar. 1t is not only the
power of the great gun abroad that
brings the enemy to his knees, but the
united will of the people at home. A
Liberty bond is an expression of that
will. 1t is the demand that the war
shall cease, and with victory. The
way to end q war is unitedly to crush
it. 1t is better that a thousand per-
sons should each buy Liberty bond,
than that one person should buy ten
times the aggregated amount. It
means union of sentiment, and that
is the spirit that cOnQuers. In this
war, half-heartedness is cruelty. 1t
means encouragement to the enemy.
1t argues want Of faith in the gov
eminent, of the Declaration of indie
pendence itself. "No indemnity, no
territory" is the noblest utterance
ever made by nation. History offers
no parallel. 1t scars above the altru-
istic and attains the sublime. 1t is
the cry of a spirit born in freedom
and which is ready to bleed for it's
,birthright Now this spirit addresses
itself to you, asks that you buy a Lib
,erty bond, a patriotic and a sure in
Iyestment. Compliance on your part
means an early peace and a regener-
.ated world.
