WEEDS AND WATER

Any considerable growth of
weeds in a crop or on summer fall
low causes a tremendous loss Of
moisture. A 1000 pounds per
acre. of the early maturing weeds
OF short season growth will remove
1.5 inches of stored water. A 1000
pounds of the more greedy coarse
weeds of longer season growth will
pump out of the soil as much as, 4
to- s inches of stored rainfall.
Under average conditions in North
Dakota clean summer tillage will
conserve for the next seasons use
about ,ss4-5 inches of water. II
weeds are allowed to grow in the
summer fallow, or IL the corn gets
very weedy, the entire advantage
gained thu summer tillage may be
wholly lost. This season has been
good season for the embattled
farmer to wage war upon his ever.

DENTIST LOCATES
IN BOWBELLs

DR.. M. B. ,O'Rourke, dentist, ar
rived here last Monday from Chi
cago, and the following day pur-
chased the practice, fixtures and
stock of the late G. j.. Campbell.
On Tuesday he opened his doors to
the public and, has been kept very
busy since that time. F.
The city of Bowbells and the sur
rounding territory is indeed FORUM
ate in getting man of Mr..
O'Rourke's ability and experience to
locate here. and there Is every rea-
son to believe that he will have
more work than he can do just Us
soon as it is generally known that
he has started practicing here. He
graduated from the Northwestern
University Of Illinois from the den
tai department with the 1917 class,
and few weeks later started to
practice his profession IN the Windy
City. He had worked up quite an
extensive practice during the next
few months when war was declar-
ed against Germany, and he closed.
his country. From that time ON
uuCll ulS UISCudT60 1TOm Iuo army
a few months ago Mr.. O'Rourke
worked under the most skillful
practitioners In the country, and
learned many new things about the
profession which are not ordinarily
taught at the universities. nor are
learned in the average practice. Az
ter his discharge from the army
Mr.. O'Rourke feels that he is equal
to any work in the dental line that
might come to him, and people of
Bowbells and vicinity need have NO
hesitancy in entrusting him with
their work no matter how difficult
it is. ,-.
The doctor is q single man, very
pleasant to meet and converse with.
and is already becoming very pop
ular among all who have had the
pleasure. of coming in contact with
him. For the present he will be
in his Office every day, but next
week expects to make Flaxton ON
Friday, and visit that city profess
sionally On Friday or each week in
the future.

be called upon to pay the special
assessment which should have sbeen
levied to pay for the grading and
sgraveling 81 the streets Of the city
for still another year, and then will
be asked toSp pay three years assess
ment at one time. This assessm ment
should have been made over q year
ago as soon as the work was com-
pleted, but>rth in charge Of the
work kept putting it off until the
last minute, and then the city was
hit by the flu, and it was impossible
to get the work done. At that
time it was decided to postpone
the work. until last spring and the
following year have the taxpayers
nav two years assessment at one
time. The work OF making the as
sessment and certifying it up to the
city auditor was not done last ss
spring and has not been done since,
