CANADIAN ARRESTED
ON SERIOUS CHARGE

Minot, N. D.. Sept 18.-A tele-
gram just received by the local
Army recruiting office states thai
men are wanted at once for service
in Siberia in Infantry, Signal Corps
and 31st Infantry Band. Here's
the proposition that men who have
been in the service before should
take advantage of. BY enlisting
for Siberia. applicants are se~t from
Minot to Denver, Colorado, for fin
al examination and enlistment;
from there they go to Preside, CAL,
enroute to Siberia by way of Ha-
wall and Guam Island, passing sew
eral small islands without stopping,
then to Manila, P. I. From Manila
to Nagassaki. Japan; from there to
Honl Kong. China, then to Elem
Sien, China, and on to Siberia.
Men who have served with the
Army or Navy or Marines during
the emergency can be enlisted for
this big trip for only one year. 1t
takes about four months~-t, make
the round trip Let Uncle Sam
give you a vacation for one year.
He will pay all your fare from here
to Siberia and discharge you at the
end of one year. Men who have
not been in the service can be en-
listed for this same trip. for three
years.
The government is only sending
men to Siberia and France to re-
place those that are coming back
for discharge. Now is your chance
to see the world and take a real
trip. The railroad and boat fare
alone for this trip across the Paci-
fic would cost you $500. BY en-
listing for one year you get it free.
No more questions asked. Call at
the Army recruiting Office and talk
it. over.

NATURAL; GAS USED
/ FOR THRESH|NG

I Minot, N. n. Sept. 18.-For sew
eral days last past the Great Amer
ican Gas & Oil Co. officers have
been engaged with an expert NOV
ing picture man from the south in
taking pictures on the Mohall An
ticline SO as to bring to the people
! of this and other states a full reali-
zation of the immense unexplored
field of natural resources in Western
North Dakota. They have taken
several pictures of severa. of their
/ gas wells burning at night, and the
srectacle produced is wonderful in
the extreme. The roaring flames
reaching high into the air fills one
with awe, and one marvels at the
tremendous forces Mother Earth
conceals in her bosom. These fire
seizures are real. Those who have
witnessed, these wells on fire would
scarcely believe before seeing that
within short distance of MinOt we
have such an abundance of natural
gas. These pictures open the eyes
of the most skeptical. Moving pic
lures have also been taken to show
what can be done with this natural
gas. A sixty horse power "asoline
engine operating threshing ma
chine with it's full load is shown in
the film. This perhaps the first
time in history that threshing has
been done by means of power fur
missed from natural gas. A one
horse power gasoline engine is also
shown operating a washing machine
This company has made a film OF
about twenty minutes duration
showing various features. which
will convince the most skeptical that
oil will be found by this company
This film will be produced in the
leading cities of the east and in
many different states.

DR.. A. M. Limburg and family.
who for r'",'"' years resided in Bow
bells during which time the doctor
practiced his profession. but who
are now residents of Fargo, arrived
here Wednesday morning, by auto
mobile to spend a week visiting
with old friends while the doctor
spends some time hunting ducks N,
the hills, The doctor assures us
that he has enjoyed a very extern
sive practice during his stay at the
metropolis of the state, and that
such practice is steadily increasing.
He was pretty badly knocked ou,
for a few weeks last winter on ac-
count of the flu, but tells us that he
is, his old self again. and is willing
to undergo endurance tests hunting
ducks in the hills with the best of
them the same as he did during his
residence here.

ARE NOT LIVING UP
TO CONTRACT

A. c. Wiper, who owns and con-
ducts grain elevator in this city,
calls our attention to the fact that
during the threshing season when
the farmers hauled the bulk of
their grain one of the local eleva-
tors was offering 10 cents per bush
ell over list in order to get the grain.
At the same time this house was
giving the farmers a lower grade
than that offere1 by Mr.. Wiper, but
the farmers were willing to accept
is lower grade in order to get the
''gher price. Practically all the
farmers accepted storage tickets at
the time they hauled the grain and
very few of them sold their grain.
Now that they are ready to sell this
grain house tells them that it is no
longer paying any premium. and
can only pay list price,. The farm
ers had been fooled to haul their
grain to this elevator by the at
tractive price offered, according to
Mr.. Wiper, and now when they come
to settle they find that the house
refuses to pay the higher price. but
instead offers to pay only list for a
grade lower than what could have
been secured at the other grain
houses. Mr.. Wiper advises all FARM
ers who were unfortunate enough
to get a deal of this kind to refuse
to settle under the new arrange
ment until they either see him or
see what he has to say in the next
issue of The Tribune. He is look
ing up the matter thoroly, and will
be ready to give the farmers of this
vicinity some advice that will prove
valuable to them in the next issue

Andrew Nelson Of near Flaxton

purchased 1000 ewes and 400 lambs

tributed among those who placed
their orders with these gentlemen

there are several hundred more in
the bunch than what were ordered,
the extras will be- sold to anyone
wanting them. Mr.. Nelson assures

buy them. dirt cheap. and that a
very attractive ~rice will be made

ARE NOT PUBLISH.
ING STATEMENT

The Tribune does not pretend to
know whether the county board and
County Auditor G.. K. Melby have
any particular reason for refusing
to let the voters and taxpayers of
the county know what the financial
condition of the county is at the
present time or not. or if such a
published financial statement re-
CURED to be made by law would
give the voters and tax payers in
formation which the county officers
do not want the residents of the
county to know, but in any event
such statement has not yet been
published in spite of the fact that
the state law requires it's publica-
tion Immediately after the first of
July, and The Tribune editor has
repeatedly called the attention of
Auditor Melby to il since that time.
The county board was also. in ses-
sion twice since that time but moth
ing was done about the statement.
The Tribune is unwilling to- believe
that the county officers have any
personal reason for refusing to give
the taXpc --ers information which
they are entitled to under the state
law, and is sure that this statement
will be published within the next
few weeks without mandamus pro-
feedings being brought to compel
its publication.

The successful corn growers are
the ones that grow their own seed,

carefully. The big yields of ma

most money is from such seed.
Now is the time to select the seed

GRASSHOPPERS
ATnNG pnAnSInEsS

GRASSHOPPERS
ALONG ROADSIDES
Since harvest the grasshoppers
have largely left the ripened grain
fields and congregated along the
roadside and similar places where
they could still find green pastur-
age. Mr.. C. B. Waldron Of the N.
D. Agricultural College, states that
the grasshoppers are laying eggs
along the roadsides and that the
best way of handling these is with
the ordinary road grader which
throws the, soil to the middle of the
road where the eggs will be de-
stroyed.

SELECTING SEED CORN

Seed corn should be selected in
the field and preferably before frost.
Select the we'll matured ears on the
kind of stalks desired. The corn
should be ,shucked and hung up at
once in a we'll ventilated room. If
left in pile, the corn will mold and
the termination is lowered. 1t
takes more care to make good seed
corn here than further south as
cold weather comes earlier.
