ED MULR0ONEY WITH

p. R. Mulrooney, Of No. COS French
street, has received a letter from his
son, E. A. MulroOney, now In France
with the Goth Engineers. The letter, in
part, reads:
Dear Father: we are having fine
weather over here and II is great for
our line OF work, which is all outside.
"Am directing the construction, or
rather, just finishing the construc-
tion OF huge steam shovel. ! am to
be sent away with a party OF men and
the shovel, and will oversee the erec-
tion Of It.
1T is the first big shovel to be sent
out from our base, and I was very
much surprised when picked out from
the lot to take charge Of the men and
set the shovel in working order.

AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU
DIDN'T LIVE in 1866?

In 1866, wholesale prices were even
higher than they are now, according
TO data furnishing by the j. ID. Sisler
Company Of this city. Coal oil cost
GO cents a gallon. Cheese cost 68
cents and butter 50 cents per pound.
Syrup was 81 a gallon, yellow sugar
cost 10 IA cents a pound; peanuts
were Si.75 a bushel, crackers 18 cents
a pound and ham % cents pound. Re-
tail prices for the same commodities
were higher. Canned goods were high
because cans were made by hand at
that date. Peaches that would now
sell wholesale at 81 a dozen cans, were
then 81, while tomatoes that sold for
50 30 a dozen cans can now be bought
for $3.50.
All this is comforting II the consul
mer does not contemplate the whole
sale prices of 1910. Here are a few
samples:
Syrup in barrels cost in 1910, % cents
a gallon. II now is - cents. Con-
densed milk Of q brand that used TO
sell for SiS5 a case, now costs $40.
Another brand that was s2.25 IS now
S4.15. MOlasses that was 90 cents a
dozen cans IS now $40. Two pound
cans Of corn syrup, OF a well known
brand, used to be $3.50 a case and is
now $500. Matches are not foodstuffs,
but It would seem hard to go back to
the tinder box to light the gas stove
for preparing the dinner, and matches
have almost doubled I'm price. The
quantity that used to cost $3.50 is now
500.

Prominent Minot Young Business Man
Chosen for Head of the Piper
Howe Lumber interests

At the annual meeting Of the stock
holders and directors of the Piper
Howe Lumber Co.. held at Minneapolis
Jan. %, Ralph H. Piper of this city
was elected president and general
manager of the company, succeeding
his uncle, G.. f. Piper, one of the most
prominent lumbermen of the North
west, who passed away about month
ago in Minneapolis.
Lee H. Piper was reelected secre-
tary and C. B. Piper of Minneapolis,
son of the late G. F. Piper, was elected
treasurer, which position was held last
year by the newly elected president.
j. L. Howe of Havre, Mont, is vice
president of the company.
The many friends of Ralph H. Piper
throughout the Northwest are pleased
to learn of his promotion to the presi-
dency of this big concern. Mr.. Piper
is but thirty-three years of age and
there are few men so young who have
sitions He has earned the promotion,
however. by hard work and by the
marked ability he has shown in busi-
ness.
The Piper-Howe Lumber Co. are

paid-up capital of $500,000 to mil
lion dollars within short time. The
growth of this company has been re-
markable In 1910, the first Piper
Howe yard was organized at Botti-
neau, N. D., and Ralph H. Piper was
! the manager of the yard as well as
manager of the company. AS the COM
pany's business prospered new yards
were added until today this company
operates fifty-three lumber yards, the
headquarters of the concern being To-
Gated in this city.
The company has had an excellent
business during 1917 considering the
poor crops and is on very sound foot
ing. Business naturally next year
will be conducted along more conserva-
tive lines than usual.
The company has made extensive
improvements in Minot, owning a
$25,O 900 warehouse and $4,000 shed,
quite different from the little wooden
building occupied by the Stoltze yard
which was taken, over by the Piper
Howe Co. The company now owns
eleven lots between the Great North
ern and the 500, thus having trackags
on both roads.

Oats and Millet Mixed for Hay

Perry Taplln, a well known south
prairie farmer, has had fine success
growing oats and millet mixed for
hay. Mr.. Taplin says he takes his
weediest land, discs it early in the
spring to start the wild oats and
weeds and then plows the land deep
about the first of June. He sows a
bushel of oats to a peck of millet to
the acre and says he usually gets
about three tons of fine feed. The
millet starts early and it looks like
the oats will not come, but along to-
wards the end of the season the oat
heads show up, when he cuts the feed:
He uses binder and stacks the feed
as it will heat if put in the barn in
any quantity. The millet heads are
unusually good for calves. He will
sow one field this year to oats and hog
millet mixed as this kind Of millet is
especially good for dry seasons. An.
other field will be sown to oats and
German millet. In seeding, one wants
to be careful to keep the seed well
mixed, as the millet is inclined to sift
to the bottom. M
