HoGGlNG DOWN CORN

Forty-eight hogs averaging 100
pounds were taken from alfalfa past
ure on September 9Th and turned
into sixteen acres of North Dakota
White Flint Corn at the North
Dakota Experiment Station. On
November 18th these hogs aggregated
203 pounds. The grain per pig per
day was 1.3 pounds. These hogs
were sold for 1868 cents per pound
net making the gains made on the
corn worth $45.54 per acre, after
shrinkage. The gain made
by these hogs on the alfalfa pasture
before being turned into the; corn
was worth even more than the corn
and put them in good condition for
finishing in the corn field.

Grave for Farmer
NELS NELSON DROPS INTO ICY
WATERS WHILE SEEKING
FOR LOST TEAM j.

While wandering about on the ice
covering the Missouri river, search
ing for his team, which he had lost
in a fog, Nels Nelson, a prosperous
farmer of Conkling, few miles west
of Washburn, fell through an air hole
Friday evening and was swept away
by the swift current before two neigh
bors who were with him could res
cue hmi. There is little hope that the
body ever will be recovered. A son
Of Thomas Thompson, who with
Henry Dahl was with Nelson at the
time of the tragedy fell into the same
hole, but one foot clung to the safe
ice long enough to permit his father
to seize it and drag the boy to salty.
Nels Nelson had started out about
5 o'clock with his team for Fort
Clark, across the river, but he lost
his way in a dense mist and wander
ed about ON aiceaz for -fa,lr-.shnurss

team, making his way on foot. Fin
ally he saw a light for which he made,
thinking it to be the town of Stan
ton, on the west side of the river. He
found, instead that it came from a
neighbor's house. Here Henry Dahl,
Thomas Thompson and the latter's
son joined Mr.. Nelson in a search for
his team, which were tethered some
where in the woods on one bank or
the other. During the search Nelson,
without sound or moments warn

the swift current had dragged the
drowned mans body far under the
ice, and further search was out of the
question. Dahl and Thompson there
fore returned home with the latter's
son, who was soaked and, dripping.
Nels Nelson was about 35 years old
and was single. He came to Mclean
county six years ago from Wausau,
Neb., where his sister IS now resid-
ing. Although possessed of only
limited means at the time of his ar
rival, by industry and thrift he had

COMMUNITY CELEBRA-
TON is HELD IN FRONT
OF OLD COURT HOUSE

Christmas eve, Washburn people
turned out in strong numbers and
held a joint celebration in front of
tho old court house. With enough
coldness in the air, to make it sea-
sorlable, the observance was carried
out with true Trevor and was a credit
to the knights Of Pythias, who ar
ranged the affair. The tree was re-
srlendent with varhcolored electric
bulbs and glittering trimmings
For the first time in weeks, the
band made real appearance and
played stirring airs. After this Rev
F.. w. Hedtke of the Methodist
church delivered an invocation. He
was followed by an excellent talk by
Leslie Burgum, the first he has given
since his return from Camp Lewis,
Wash. Some Christmas anthems
were sung by the Girls Glee Club,
their voices blending we'll in the out
door air.
The Knights did not forget the
children. There was plenty of candy
and nuts to go around. One of the
dramatic features was the appearance
" Santa Claus. He arrived in an
with a. sack on his back.
He proved quite entertaining. No
body knows who Santa was except
possibly Dr. C. G. Forbes.
