BRIEF STATE NEWS

L. N. Kjelstrup, cashier of the
Farmers State Bank of Wabek, and
we'll known in Minot, has enlisted in
the regular army.
The fact that wedding rings have
gone up fifty per cent doesn't mean
much. 1t is never the original outlay
IN this matter that counts anyway.

trict court. The complaining witness
was Christine Jorgenson.
| Developments in the death of Tobias
Highland of Crosby have led to the

spite the verdict by the coroner's jury

his life.
w. G. Smith, former Grand Forks
| and Mentor. Mimi, resident, who de-
! veloped the Maple lake summer resort

The suit of Mrs. Susie ,Spiess Of

examination at Amdon when cited to
do so. He was located only last week
in the Montana mining camp.
Anton Armburst of Dickinson want
ed to be right good to the Red Cross
SO he donated dandy colt to the or
ganization, or rather, he gave the
equivalent in cash-$1OO. The cash
came in as the result Of Mr.. Arm
brust's having sold 100 tickets at 81
each. Anton Handle drew the lucky
number and is now the owner of the
Red Cross colt.
In order to obtain the site chosen
by the board of regents for the new
state normal to be built at Dickinson

form stock company for the pur-
chase and disposal of the tract The
price agreed for the farm is about
$4,000.
1t is reported that the estate of
the late John f. Cowan will amount to
between $4,000 and $4,000. Before
he passed away he arranged all his
business matters, deciding over prac-
tjcally all the real estate and making
a will His brother-in-law, Mr.. Flynn,
and Robt. Cochrane are the admins
traitors. Rumor has it that he left
over $4,000 in life insurance
w. F. Blume, Dickinson attorney, is
the subject Of great deal of criti-
cism on the part of his brother at
torneys of Stark county, because of
his alleged refusal to serve on the le-
gal advisory board which will assist
drafted men in the filling out of their
QUESTIONABLE blanks. All the attor-
neys of the county, with the alleged
exception Of Blume, volunteered their
services free Of charge to the gov
eminent in this matter.

This paper was not bit surprised
at the entente allies reply to Germa-
ny's proposal for peace transmitted
through the United States. In fact
our editorial written at the time
such proposal was made, predicted
that England and her allies would
not heed the German offer at this
time. And their reasons are more
than good. Germany entered the
war at high tide of preparation
The other countries especially En-
gland did not! England has been
gradually getting IN trim war ma
chine which is making itself felt on
the western front, and may come
like Grants ere the year has past, to
be classet ass one of the finest upon
the planes. They will have to have
a tryout with it this spring on the
German machine with all it's present
war successes and pre- war boasts.
We would like to see peace at the
earliest possible moment that it can
come and mean any lasting security
20 the nations OF the earth peacelby
disposed as was Belgium, but with
Germany unchastiz as she stands
oday, peace now seems premature.
She would like to quit while the
quitting is good, but her opposers
nave spent too much money, and
olood and of their resources DO let
Ter off without feeling more of the
punishment of the horrible unneces-
sary war which she precipitated in
Europe.

The season for wheat planting is
rapidly passing. 1t extends from
October to March, depending spon
the seasons and the kind of seed used
aud the climate. There is some
wheat being plan ted in Greene coun-
~ this year, so that there Will be
some home grown flour bread as well
IS corn bread. There is small
hand mill sold for about three dol
iars whereby the wheat can be
ground up at home as did the women
of old as spoken of in the Bible with
Two stones. or course wheat so
ground will be what's called brown
bread as it will not have been
whitened, but it has the greater
nutrition in it for all of that. A
community mill can easily be install
cd to grind the wheat much as corn
meal is ground. We do not mean a
whitening mill of course as that is
OK pensiye but they do not cost SO
much as formerly as small size OF
hem has been recently brought out
and is being widely advertised. Ev.
cry step which looks towards raising
by our people of the stuff consumed,
at home, makes for quicker and
greater prosperity among them and
should have the plaudits and encour-
agement as we'll as cooperation OF
all public spirited men.

of. those,now out of date. The agri-
cultural exhibit will be greatly in

hfbit to Gulfport by Government
barge after the closing at San Diego

it can be worked over and added to

Mississippians have cause to feel
grateful toward Congress for thN6n y
sideraAipn shown by bringing ZEE
great exhibit here and affording Uy
our people AN opportunity of seeing it
and understanding better the methods
employed by Uncle, Sam in handling
the affairs Ola great nation.
