Of bottineau

has always stood ready to Tend q hand in all matters
pertaining to civic and agricultural better1aent.
We want to see the surrounding country prosper
GUS in production and in agricultural development.
Our business life both present and future il .
part and parcel Of the agricultural life Of the commune
ity.
The past season has again demonstrated that We
must not be a one-crop country. The necessity Of diver
sifed farming and crop rotation has been again clearly
demonstrated.
We are thoroughly convinced that our farmers
must come to forage crops, silos, mich cows and steers
feeding to meet the requirements Of modern farming
and to keep pace with the constantly increasing price Of
farm lands. Sas .a5
Alfalfa Is a soil builder. It enhances Land values.
Corn thrives when small grains suffer. Live stock
means q better soil and bigger profits. Mixed farm
ing means freedom from worry about backward springs,
drought, hot winds and rust.
This bank Is willing to stand by its belief in more
livestock and diversified farming by rendering all pos
sible assistance to farmers who wish to get out OF the
onevcrop rut. We have money to loan to purchase
stock, seed and1silos, and would gladly talk the matter
over with you.

The Doctor ADOPTS a Family.

After all, girls are not so hard to
raise, if you let them have their own
way about everything. Greatest
trouble with them is that they eX-
pect father TO transfer him
self to the outer regions
with his pipe and baccy when
their friends drop in. But that isn't
so bad. We know a man who reared
four de luxe boys. yet that poor
fellow actually has to do all his
smoking in the cellar, What's the
use? man might as we'll be con-
tent with just daughters. By
crickey, if We ever were lucky
enough TO say son" to just one
boy. we'd smoke all over the place
and it would take some argument
to stop up We'd stop when the boy
grew TO be five years old. for the
sake of example, but that would be
easy enough; a man that owns a
boy surely needs nothing TO occupy
his leisure hours.
We are getting along so well with
our own girls that we are now
looking for new worlds to conquer.
1t seem that life is destined to re
main a tremendous mystery, and
mystery naturally piques curiosity,
and curiosity is bound to be salts
