BRIEF STATE NEWS

Several weeks ago Joe Gandel of
Minneapolis and other points arrived
in Mott with two Buick cars in first
class condition, loaded down with
goods of all descriptions. He with
his brother, Max Candle of New Leip-
zig, peddled the goods around to some
of Motifs business men, also selling
some at Bentley, New Leipzig and Ell
gin. At New Leipzig they rented a
building and started up a store for
the wholesaling of goods. The two
Buick cars were sold at Mott to ia
cob Barth, Jr., and Sebastian Roll
After selling the cars Gandel returned
to Minneapolis to get a carload of
second hand Fords ready for shipment
to the Mott Auto Co. Investigation
resulted in recovery last week Of
over $4,000 worth of stolen goods.
Joe Gandel is out on $1,000 bonds but
Max was held under $4,000 bonds. It
was through the efforts of Sheriff
Wellington Wright the fraud was dis
covered.
A fire discovered in the office of the
Northern Pacific depot at Hazen
about 700 o'clock Wednesday evening
was quickly extinguished by the cit
liens with the chemical engines arriv-
ing ahead Of the fire apparatus. The
fire apparently originated in a waste
basket which stood close to the coun-

under which the money drawer is
placed. The counter, money drawer
and ticket case were considerably
damaged and a case containing forms

currency and checks in the drawer

recovered although bearing evidences
of having been subjected to an intense

is Understandable.

in North Dakota in 1918 are worth

over twice as great as the total value
of the same eight crops in 1917
Wheat, Of which the state has pro-
duced 94,590,0O0 bushels, accounts for
nearly half Of the golden wealth Gre
ated by the state agriculturists this
year, wheat being valued at S192,017,-
900. The famous 1915 wheat crop
when North Dakota produced 1885,
100000 bushels Of wheat, was worth
only $127,000,O00 to the farmers, for
it was sold at an average of about 83
cents bushel, while this years crop
will be marketed on basis of about
5000, the average price for the state.

The horn book invented in 1850 and
used considerably up TO the close of
the eighteenth century was the usual
text book of the elementary school, A
thin slab of hard wood was covered
with parchment, on which were print
cd the capital and small letters, nu.
merals and some elementary sylIables
and words.
Over this a thin sheet of transpar-
ent cows horn was placed and firmly
bound so that no moisture could pene-
trate. To this the Bible and the sam
pier on which little girls painfully
stitched the letters of the alphabet,
some Cody saying" and border Of
herring stitch. or some conventional
pattern of impossible flowers and TO-
liage and the legend MARY Smith, her

that the children used up to the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth century.

Food and Digestion.

Sir Ray Lancaster, the eminent Eng
lish scientist, writing in the London
Telegraph, tells us that robust people,
so long as they eat what suits their
own uncultivated taste, are apt to
make very light Of what they call fan
cies@ about food and overlook their
real Importance. Feeding on the part
of civilized man is not the simple pro
cedure which it is with animals, al
though many animals are pai ticular
as TO their food and what is called
dainty" The necessity for civilized
man Of cheerful company at his meal
and for the absence of mental anxiety
is universally recognized, as well as
the importance of an inviting appeal
to the appetite through the sense OF
smell and of sight, while the injurious
effect of the reverse conditions, which
may lead TO nausea and even vomiting
is admitted.
Even the ceremonial feature OF the
dinner table, the change of clothes, the
leisurely yet precise. succession of ap-
proved and expected dishes, accom-
panied by pleasant talk and light
hearted companionship, are shown by
strict scientific examination to be i'm
portant aids to the healthy digestion
of food, which need not be large in
quantity, because wisely presented.

Electricity
The New Servant OH tile
Farm.

Never before has the labor problem
SO seriously affected the farmer as at
the present time, and there is every
indication that ii will become Il more
serious matter in the future. Under
these conditions the farmers greatest
relief is the use of more labor-saving
appliances. He must use more eff
cient methods for doing his work. just
as the manufacturer is doing in the
city.
One of the most efficient and effec-
tive agencies that the farmer can use
| to assist him in his work and to solve
his labor problems is electricity. 1t
is now possible for him to install an
electric light plant that is especially
adapted To his needs and that will not
only provide light for ths house. barn
| and other buildings. but will also fur
nish sufficient electric power for Oper
ating the water pump. the feed
grinder, the milking machine. the
| churn, the grindStone, the electric fam,
and other light machinery about the
home.
\ very efficient electric light and
| power plant has been designed to
| meet the requirements of the farmer,
and thousands of farmers have had ii
| installed and are now enjoying the
many advantages of electricity. The
| fuel for this plant may be either kero-
Sene. gasoline, OF gas. The cost of
the plant is small. considering the
durability and life of the plant: every
farmer can afford to purchase it. The
operating cost is very low and it re-
quires very little attention. A storage
battery is used. which makes it pOsSi-
bic to have electricity twenty four
hours of the day This particular
plant that is becoming so popular has
no belts. the engine and generator be-
ing direct connected; this eliminatr as
danger and betting troubles. The en-
CINE is air-cOoled. and so requires no
water. which is another big advan-
tage. To start the engine. one simply
presses a lever: Il child can safe'y
start ii. There is no danger from
shocks. and il Is safe in every par
ticula". This makes il possible for
the farmers sons To do much of til"
work about the place with ease. II
also makes The work on the farm very
much more interesting and attractive
for The farmers sons and daughters.
