THIEVES ENTER TWO
PLACES THIS WEEK
Unknown Parties Break Into Dakota
Central Office and Jampol-
sky Cream Station.

Some unknown miscrcants broke
into the building on North Main
street, occupied by the Dakota Tele-
phone Co., Sunday night. Entry
was made through the rear end of
the building by removing window
in the coal shed, and the door lead
ing into the Office not being locked.
the party or parties had clear sail
ing. A check for $24 90 and sew
erai other checks of smaller denom-
nations were left untouched, but the
cash, which amounted to about SIG
was taken. No clue as yet has been
found as to who performed the deed.
Again on Monday night the
locks on both front and rear doors
of the Jampolsky cream station were
broken and the place ransacked.
About $50 worth of hides and furs
were taken in this haul. 1t is be-
lieved that the parties are known in
this case, but whether they are the
same ones that entered the telephone
Office on Sunday night is question
to be solved.

keep his store open extra hours. In
other words, stores must be closed
during the Christmas shopping sea-
son at the same time they are closed
now. That is done mainly to con:
serve light and fuel but it will hit
the man and woman who have been
waiting until Christmas weak, and
then buying their presents after the
evening meal. Not only that, but
orders have been given that no extra
help is to be employed in any retail
store in the United States.
1t was at first proposed to limit the
amount of presents or the amount
expended for them. BUT the govern
ment passed this up and decided to
enforce the 2 rules laid down above
People who know that there are not
going to be any extra clerks to wait
on them will shop early now to avoid
standing for hours to be waited on.
Others who know that they can not
remain in the house all day and then
do their buying in the evening will
also get in earlier than they ever did
before.

WOUNDED YANKs SHOW
REAL FIGHTING SPIRIT

A time-keeper in an American Red
Cross garage in Paris, who does
emergency hospital work, said one
night recently, after he had helped
move 700 wounded men:
"The nerve Of the American boys
under fire and when wounded is some
thing very fine. One poor fellow
that saw with an arm off and other
injuries, remarked that he had just
done his bit for Uncle Sam, and now
he wanted to go back to the front and
do something for himself. That's
what I call real fighting spirit"

COUNTY AGENT NOTES

The immediate effect of peace prob
ably will be to increase the demand
for present supplies Of food, for the
moment we conclude peace with the
central powers they will be in the
market for our food, and they and
half the world around them are hun
cry after four years of privation.
The world will demand particularly
a larger supply than normal of live
stock, and especially of b ef and fat.
To this we should give due thought
in securing an adequate supply Of
feedstuffs and in eradicating and con-
trolling all forms of animal diseases.
Thresher's reports for October and
part of November show $4,000
bushels of wheat threshed.
Straw is not a bad feed, but care
should be taken to feed something
with it, such az corn stalks, bran
mash, fax meal to hslp move the
bowels. This dry rye and barley
straw alone, to horses especially, is
apt to give trouble.
A good mixture for laying hens is
four parts each of cracked corn and
oats and one part of barley or wheat,
which should be scattered in the lit
ter. Provide four or five inches Of
good clean litter. A dry mash of
equal parts of cornmeal, bran, mid
dlings, ground oats and beef scrap
should be kept in hoppers to which
the fowls have access at all times
.Cabbages, mangles, sprouted oats
and cut alfalfa make excellent green
feed for fowls. Plenty of exercise
increases the egg yield.
A system of ventilation that actu.
ally changes the air in the building
but does not permit cold draft tc
come directly on the animals is very
essential during these cold days
Animals coming out into the cold ir
the mornings, from close damp quar-.
ters are susceptible to colds and
pneumonia. All cracks and holes ir
buildings should be covered with
building paper to prevent cold
drafts. The opening of small win.
dow on the lee-ward side will help
considerable in admitting mir and
preventing dampnss where no ven.
tilating system is installed.
Those who are within reasonable
distance Of pond, stream or river,
how about storing ice this winter for
next summers hot weather? Ice in
the dairy saves losses from high
bacteria counts, and inferior low
priced butter. An ice house is in
expensive and the labor comes dur
ing the slack season.
It is deplorable indeed that people
who have sowed, harvested and
stacked their grain shall have such
trouble in getting it threshed. Am
pleased to state, however, that nearly
all of these cases have been settled
satisfactorily.
A petition to Herbert Hoover, re-
questing his influence in releasing the
farm boys in the army for taking care
Of live stock this winter and especial
ly for next springs work, passed
amongst North Dakota farmers last
week. We need them!
Very truly,
H. o. SAUER,

r BACK HURTS Use
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like lead
or Bladder bothers you-Mest
forms uric acid.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts OF bladder dis
orders
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces OF Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a Tablespoonful in glass OF water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
1ithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. II also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then TO keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS C0RNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all.
lifts out with the fingers.
II is a sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without infam-
ing or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. 1t is claimed that
a quarter of an ounce of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug stores,
but is sufficient to rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is suicidal habit
