ON THE SPUR
OF THE MOMENT
By ROY K. MOULTON

SOnnet-Tho Lasting Lyric.
For every word that you can name
There's always one that rhymes with it
The sound may hardly be the same,
And yet it somehow chimes with it.
Some rhymes are but a syllable,
And some sesquipedelian;
Still our Art unsuitable,
Immortal, bacchanallan,
Pursues the tenor of its way,
Joyus in spite of interference,
Confident, since it lives today,
That there will be no final clearance
Until the planets all decay
In universal disappearance.

LITTLE CORN HELD
BY DEALERS

Small stocks of corn in the hands
of dealers in New England and 9TH
er Southern States, with the excep-
ton of Delaware, Maryland, and
Virginia, where SURPRISES were pro-
duced, are indicated by reports to
the Department of Agriculture. Ac-
tual available supplies in the South
eastern States are said to be great
er than ever before, although the
amount of corn in the hands of dis
tributors and other dealers is much
below normal. Most districts in the
Southeastern States have sufficient
supplies for local needs, while
dealers in many places, especially
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and
Florida have shipped large quaint
ties of corn to the larger markets.

1870 acres Of potatoes in this year and
placing the yield at 200 bushels per
acre, conservative estimate, his
crop will total close to $4,000 bushels.
He returned yesterday from hurried
trip through the potato district Of the
Red River valley, and is having plans
drawn for a potato house 20Ox8O feet,
two stories high, which will have an
estimated capacity Of $4,000 bushels
and when equipped will cost not less
than $4,000.
While Berthold has become widely
known as potato raising district
many Of our farmers have been re-
luctant to plant a larger acreage of
this product because Of the absence
Of facilities for storing and properly
caring for such a large crop as the
outlook for this year promises. Those
who have Investigated the potato
situation in this locality this year
maintain that the total yield will
reach $4,000 bushels. It can there
fore be seen how really serious the
storing situation is.

A Minot man, who wanted to do his
patriotic duty, as well as save some
money, instead of ordering $50 tai
tornado suit, which could have been
bought for $50 a year or two ago,
dug up four Of his old suits about the
house and sent the INTO the cleaners.
The vests from two Of the suits were
used for patches and when the suits
came back, they looked lie new and
will last for year or two. No, this
isn't an advertisement for some clean
ing establishment. We merely tell it
that others may be induced to do the
same thing. 1t cost this man eight
dollars to have his old suits cleaned,
pressed and mended. Four new suits
like them would probably cost him a
couple Of hundred dollars. The diff
ference can be put into savings
stamps. A patch on suit of clothes
now days is a badge Of honor won by
doing a plain patriotic duty. Many OF
our women are remodeling their old

| officiating. Interment was made in
the Rose Hill cemetery under the d.

pioneer days of that state. From
there she removed to Minnesota and
later to South Dakota, from which
state she came to North Dakota and
homesteaded near Sawyer in this
county in 1891.
She was twice married. Six chill

of whom died in infancy and another
at the age of fourteen years. She is
survived by the other four children,
all Of whom are of mature years. They
are Mrs. Oolloff-Moe of this city, Fred

Partridge Of Minneapolis, eighty.
seven years old, and Mrs. Martha
johnson, Of Orville, Wash, eighty

down the pathway Of her declining
years, she left behind memories that
are made possible only by living a
good Christian life, devoted unselfsh-

\. D. JAIL BREAKER
AGAIN IN PRISON
Horse Thief and Alleged Murderer.
Re-arrested as Stacker. Goes Back
to Prison Cell.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 3-Jesse
Starkweather, confirmed Jail breaker.
horsethief and alleged man-killer,
again is behind the bars of the North
Dakota penitentiary after two years
as fugitive. Starkweather and an
accomplish two years ago were brot
down town by a guard to have some
dental work done. They professed a
difference of opinion in choice Of den
fists, and the accomm odating guard
left Starkweather in one dentists
chair while he accompanied the sec
ond convict to another practitioners
office.
Accomplish at Door.
Starkweather walked out of the
dental room into a car which awaited
him on the street and made his get
away.
Nothing further was heard of the
fugitive until this week when a wire
from Custer, S. D., announced that
Jesse Starkweather was under arrest,
charged with being Stacker. A pris-
on attache was dispatched to Custer
identified as the man who had escaped

and he is now back in his cell to COM
plete twice interrupted term of i'm
prisonment.
Starkweather originally was con-
victed of horse-stealing. He had serv-
ed only a short time when he made
his first escape from prison.
Killed Man, Charge.
While fugitive he is alleged to
have killed a man named Crowley in
the Killdeer country. He was tried
on the charge of mansaughter at Man
dan and the jury disagreed. During
the trial, however, he was discovered
to be the escaped horse-thief and he
was returned to the state penitentiary
to complete his sentence.
The charge of manslaughter still
hangs over him, and he will face a
second trial when his original prison
term is completed.
Wife Now Divorced.
He was to have been tried in Het-
finger county last October, and it is
possible that his case will come up
at the October term of the Hettinger
county court this fall.
In spite of his long criminal career,
Starkweather now is only rs years
