ops. grows worse-the pain and dis
tress is incessant and the truth
dawns that we have chronic stom-
ach trouble.
The case Of Mr.. Louis Young, 205
Merrimac St., Rochester, N. Y, is
typical. He writes: Il suffered for
thirty years with chronic bowel
trouble, stomach trouble and hem
orrhages Of the bowels. We bought
bottle of Peruna and I took it
faithfully. I began to feel better.
My wife persuaded me to continue
and did for some time as directed.
Now am a well man." Mr.. Young's
experience is not unusual.
II you suffer from catarrh in any
form, whether Of the head, stomach,
bowels or any other part Of the
body, try Peruna. It may be just
what you need. Peruna comes in
either liquid or tablet form and Is
sold everywhere. Your dealer has
it or will get it for you. Ask for
DR.. Hartman's World-F'amous Pc
runa Tonic and insist upon having
it. If you want your health accept
nothing else.
All the sick and suffering are In
vited to write The Peruna Company.

IL free and may help you. Ask your

GAIN OF ONE HOUR
BLOW TO B0LSHEv|k
WAR GARDEN SECRETARY DE.
CLAREs DIsTURBERs CANNOT
STAND DAYLIGHT
By P. S. Ridsdale

(Secretary of the National War Gar
den Commission, who has just re-
turned from Europe.) T.
Next Saturday night the hands on
States will be turned one hour ahead
and by that simple process the Boil
sheviki will get the greatest setback
they have thus far met in this coun-
try. l do not believe Bolshevik doc
trines will stand first-class United
States daylight being turned on them
and the simple process of turning the
hands of the clock one hour ahead
will result in knockout blow to the
advancement of their creed.
When the results of daylight saw
ing are considered it seems beyond
comprehension that an endeavor
should be made to do away with this
law. Yet this was attempted at the
last session of Congress by the intro
duction of two bills repeating the law
and the insertion of rider in an ap-
preparation bill looking to the same
end.
What the Law Says
Here is the law:
"That at two o'clock ante-meri
dian of the last Sunday in March
of each year the standard time
of each zone shall be advanced
one hour, and at two o'clock ante
meridian of the last Sunday in
October each year the standard
time of each zone, by the retard-
ing one hour, be returned to the
astronomical time of the degree
of longitude governing each
zone, respectively"
That little law gives US an extra
hour of daylight for 210 days start
ing the last Sunday in March. That
means to one hundred million peo-
pie more than two billion hours of
extra daylight. It will do more to
give the Bolsheviki a setback be-
cause:
1t means millions of extra hours
It means millions of extra hours
for home food production.
1t means millions of extra hours
of health giving recreation to bench,
shop, desk and counter workers.
1t means millions of extra hours
for the playground children.
1t means millions of dollars saved
in electric light and gas light bills.
| It means millions of dollars saved
in coal as the result. Of cutting down
those bills. #.@ A.. 4 - ,.r.-.
All these sum up to better citizen
ship, clearer thinking and additions
to the savings of the workers. All
these make mighty wall against the
unrest creeping into certain quar-
ters. Take home food producer as
Williston graphic., 1919-03-27

an example. The lure of the Boil
sheviki may interest him at first.
But he has his home, his family, his
job. He knows down in his heart
that the Bolshevik plan to take over
the running of the country and the
management Of the plant in which
he works smacks of the impossible.
What He Knows
He knows neither he nor the world
are ready for that or ever will be.
He knows he is a citizen Of the best
country on earth and he knows if he
does his part it will continue to i'm
prove. He can improve it greatly
by putting ten bushels of potatoes
from his garden into his cellar. He
will relieve the food situation just
that much.
The family situation in the garden
is the foundation of the best citizen
ship. Take the plan worked out in
Chicago by the Immigration section
of the Y. NJ. C. A. whereby gardens
and better citizens are made by the
same operation. The national War
Garden Commission has provided for
that work. 1t means much. more
than raising vegetables for it will
teach thrift and what is still more
important the speaking by the for
eign born of the English language.
Abraham Bowers, secretary of the
immigration section, tells me he had
100000 at garden meetings last year.
See what that means in better citi-
zenship. Here is food for thought
for every employer of labor in the
land The, Victory Garden can be
made the welding plot for better citi-
zenship all over the land.
In Newark, N. j., the Vacant Lot
association reports that there were
$4,000 gardens in 1919 where there
were none in 1916, and I would like
to have some one attempt to place
measured valuation on that record
when measured in citizenship. The
National War Garden Commission
has hundreds of such reports. In Eur
ope they consider the extra hour of
daylight one Of their chief recon-
struction assets. With us it will work
wonders in offsetting the propaganda
of unrest for it means health and
wealth. Let US all honor Benjamin
Franklin, apostle of thrift, who tried
to present US with this great boon
more than century ago.

the earliest ears are mature, so that
the grains begin to be glazed, select
enough for seed plot next year. Sc.

if frost fails to come, sort the rest

nearby. t. "&
Two or three such seed growers iii
each township in North Dakota would
revolutionize crop production in this
state. The seed plot and home pro-
duction of seed for the general farm
on some such lines is the road to I'M
proved cereal cropping, corn produc-
tion and potato production.
1t will be possible for the State
Seed Commissioner to certify to the
quality of the general crop, if it is
grown on clean land from seed plot
produced seed.
If you want to sell certified. STAN
dardized seed of any sort, get busy.
If you want your potatoes certified
as to freedom from rot and scab or
to standardize your wheat and have
it certified and listed, start seed
plot. If you want to win the chief
prizes at the county fair, State fair
or at the Annual Seed Growers Con-
test, or to improve crop production,
start seed plot for each such crop.
Cease depending on the other fellow
for seed, Remember, he can only sell
as good as somebody like you raises.
Do not go away from home for the
seed for the farm. Let the other fell
low do that.
We would be pleased to hear from
every man in the State of North Da-
kota who expects to have seed plot,
no matter what the kind. We will do
everything we can to help make re-
suits of that seed crop success to
you and of use to the State as
whole.

CONTROL CROP DISEASES
CONTINUED from page 81

. 'a. (SOuCAuucN AAOAn I06S ~
You can start such improvement if
YOU commence before you plant the
crop. After the crop is planted you
must take what grows from it. The
following will improve cereal CROP
ping:
(1) Talking about Improvement.
(2) Listen to somebody talk about
It. (9) Sowing the same old seed
on the SAME old ground and by using
the grain is it comes from the thresh-
ing machine or out of the elevator
for seed (4) Sending to somebody
else for "new" kind of seed, or the
same kind of seed because it was
grown on some other kind Of land.
~ Seed exchange, of itself, will
not improve crops.
Beware of constant cropping of
any crop on any land. If you sow
a new kind Of seed wheat on the same
old wheat stubble land where you
have always been constantly crop
ping wheat you cannot expect that
new wheat to make an improvement
in your agriculture. Improvement
does not come that way. Disease,
weeds and crop pests do. Improve
ment in cereal agriculture and in seed
growing comes about by making i'm
provements in the seed itself before
planting, and improvement in the
seed bed on which the crop is to be
grown. Crop improvement starts at
the home farm and lives or dies there.
What To Do: /. Start a seed plot
this year for each of the kinds of
crop you intend to improve.
2. Get the best available seed of
each kind. (1) Lay out a seed plot
for each. (2) Be sure the surface
drainage is good. (3) There should
be no chance for volunteer grain.
8. Lay out the seed field so that
it will be big enough to have all Of
your seed plots together Number
them 1, 2, 3, etc. Make book
record of all plots. In future years
shift the crop so as to make a good
crop rotation. This prevents volun-
teering and help fight weeds and dis
eases. Raise seed enough on each
seed plot to insure seed for main
crop next year.
In the best seeds now available
there will be some admixtures. I
have not found any entirely free.
"Pure" kubanka, "pure" arnautka.
"pure" marquis, "pure" Swedish Sc
lect, "pure" Oderbrucker, "pure" Min
nesota 13, "pure" early Ohio, none Of
these exist. Why not raise some
this year? As soon as the grain
plots are in head pull out all false
heads and the weeds which produce
inseparable seeds. If this can not
be done while the grain is standing,
finish it from the bundle before
threshing. ~ Stack the grain of
each seed plot separately. (2)
Thresh it separately. (3) Store it
separately. (4) Kep it dry.
In the case of Potatoes: Select the
best form Of tuber possible. Cut the
stem end off to allow you to throw
out any tubers infected with any rot.
Cut, treat, plant. Spray three times
during the summer with Bordeaux
mixture plus Paris green. Pull up
and burn all hills which show yellow
or wilted vines. This potato plot
should be on land which has not had
potatoes on before.
For the Corn Plot: Select the va
riety which you like. Test the ears,
and get a stand of not more than
three stalks per hill and not less than
two. You want ears, not fodder.
Plant it both ways. Cultivate it once
a week. Twice if it is dry weather.
Pull the weeds out of the hill. Cut
out and burn the smut. AS soon as

be beneficial and Immediately 50.
The steel price agreement, it is

"Ain't yo' all got no money!"
"No," was the melancholy reply.
"But it don't cost yo' all but q
nickel to cross" said the ferryman.

Trip of the A. E. F.
352nd. Infantry u. S. A

~ Inc IOllOWlng poem was TecelVet
by Dorothy Penman from one of tn
North Dakota boys who is now il
France which tells of their trip from
U. S. to France:
We left dear old home land
One bright sunny day
To- clean up the Hun
In a land far away
We boarded the transport,
In dear old New York Il
And landed in England
A few miles from Losk.
The trip was swell
Across the ocean, so blue
Living on hard tack
And bully beef stew.
We boarded the train
At old Liverpool
And got off at Winchester
Like lot of dam fools.
We stayed over night
And slept in tent
Then to Southampton we went,
Then up the gang plank
Again we did prance
Crossed the channel
And landed in France.
Then we travelled some more,
Till we got to Les Laumes
And put up our dog tents
And sang Home Sweet Home.
Then once again we moved on
To Bussey LIE Grande.
Drilling and hiking
And eating hard tack !
I'd like to say more :
But I dare not give facts.
Then on to Belfort
Again we did go
And was rushed in the cover
from an air raid you know.
Then we started to hike
At eleven p. il.
And stopped at Tretudan
A few weeks to spend
Then with gas drills and skirmish
We soon had enough.
So we moved to Chaevemont
And began to get rough
For into a barn
Some doughboy did poke :
And lit, cigarette u
And she went up in smoke Z.
Then with an old French pump
We worked half the night
The way she did burn
1t sure was a fright.
Then we got settled down
For two weeks or more
Till some got sick
And others foot sore
So with a small company
Again we moved on
To the village Of Rougemont
And then to Leethran.
There we did stay i.
And rested some more
Then moved on again
The same as before. s
Then into the dugouts 0
Together we went
One week in Reserve III
1t was there we spent.
Then up to the front
Therein trench to lay still
Waiting for orders
TO go over and kill
We thought not of danger,
For it seemed such great fun
To sneak through the trenches

LEAVES FOR SWEDEN.

Andv Pearson who recently sold
his farm in B1tte Valley, left Monday
for Texsam, where be will visit for a

spring. He has faith ia the pioduc.
tivsness of our soil and the future
greatness of our county, and after his
vacation he will come back better pre-

BARN BURNS.

Last Tuesday evening about six O
clock as G. W. Sawyer, P. e. Melon
aid and son we're passing the Indiana
Ranch, opposite the Happy Hollow
Church, on their way home from
White River. they discovered N. A..
Gerigs barn was on fire. No one was
at home at the time, Mr.. Gerig was
attending Bert Humphreys sale and
Mrs Gerig was visiting neighbor.
The three gentleman slapped and did
what they could to check the flames,
the barn however was totally destroy
ed as the flames had made too much
headway when discovered. Mrs. Ger
ig returned home while the men were
6gdting the fire. 1t is supposed that
the fire started from embers that the
wind blew to the barn from pit
where the carcass of critter that had
died of black leg was being cremated.
1t Is believed that besides the barn
Mr.. Gerig also lost hog in the flames

THE BOYS CORN CONTEST

Up to the time of going to press we
have seventeen entries in the Pioneer
Boys Acre Corn Growing Club, and
we have very representative club
membership this year. As the mail
did rot rLn between here and White
River, Wednesday, it is possible that
we will receive some entries in the
the first mail received from the west
that should have reached us before
the closing date, and all such entries
that were mailed before May lst will
be duly received. We have a part of
the seed corn in our office now, and
will have the balance of the seed very
shortly, in ample time to plant. We
are indeed pleased that our Club this
year represent practically all parts Of
the county and we look for some
mighty good work from these boys,
and we would not be surprised if the
boys will not walk off with some of
the regular fair prizes besides the con
test prizes this year. We hope to call
a meeting of all the Club members
just as soon as we can complete ar
rangements, at which time we will try
and have representative OF the State
College to meet with us, and we will
plan to make this one of the leading
Boys Corn Craving Clubs in the
state. The Montgomery Dumber Co.
of winner, is offering SIS in cash as
a prize for the best acre yield grown
by any member Of tie Club. The
Trophy Cup will be awarded to the
the boy exhibiting the best ten ears
of corn at the Fair here in September
Those of the Club members who de
sire, will also be supplied with enough
seed to plant an acre of Rosebud
No ID and Mr.. H)useman the origi
uator of this new corn offers two priz
es for corn grown from this seed
FIVE dollars for the best ten ears and
$40 for the best 100 ears of Rosebud

Rosebud when last week he sold 6,372
acres OF decided land north of Wood,

to be the record consideration aud to-

the entire Rosebud country. Mellette
county lands are coming more and
more in demand, and whenever we
get any real assurance that the rail
road will actually be extended, Mel.
letse comfy land values will come in
to their own. There is lot of r.il
road talk now, all down the line, but
as far as we know there is nothing
very substantial back OF this talk al
