Frank Brown, pioneer Stutsman
county farmer, residing between Sgd
ney and Millartown, last week receiv-
eds by mail a mystery package which
contained a cameo ring stolen by some
unknown person 80 years ago. The
address on the package was typewrit-
ten and the postmark blurred SO that
it was undistinguishable. A typewrit-
ten slip Of paper accompanied the ring
containing the following words:

A report reached here on Tuesday
that two children, boy and a girl,
in the Joachim family, living south
west of Wales, had been seriously, if
not fatally, injured in fire caused
by the explosion Of gasoline stove

any accurate account Of the accident
but happened to learn that the chill
dren were taken to Grand Forks for
special treatment at hospital and
that the chances for their recovery
were very slight.
John Lokken has the distinction Of
capturing German prisoner after
having received wound. John was
shot through the thigh by machine
gun, and capturing a German SOL
der, young man nineteen years old,
used him as crutch in making his
way back to the dressing station. He
says his prisoner used him nicely CIV
ing him coffee from his canteen and
bread and seemed we'll pleased to be
captured. He was much surprised
that Mr.. Loken could speak the Ger
man language.
Lankin is now without a newspaper.
Editor Malpass suspended publication
of the Reporter and moved from the
town. The Reporter at one time was
one of the best county weekly newspa-
pers in eastern North Dakota and it
placed Lankin on the map as the "Hub
of the Wheat Line and business for
a number Of years was a hummer at
that point. These were the days of
Sam Haislett, E. P. Provada, Henry
Johnson, Geo. Langeiand and others
who are gone from this town, and who
were great boosters. Lankin has been
unfortunate with fires and of late
years the Reporter patronage was not
sufficient to make it profitable. The
war has also had it's effects on news
papers. Labor conditions have forced
the consolidation of $50 daily papers
in the United States, and the sus-
pension of 900 papers.

But You Can Poach Your Egg

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.
-Appreciative of this fact. the
poultry specialist of the United

say, will add 10000, 900 eggs to
our food supply this year without
reducing our supply of chicken
meat. Investigators have found
that because poultry brings 2
cents a pound more in winter
than in late spring, many farm
ers in the South have been throw
ing away valuable egg profits just
to get 8 cents more per hen.
They believe that if farmers will
keep their laying hens and sell
their eggs and then market the
birds in the spring, they will not
only add to the food supply, but
actually increase their profits so
