A wagon load of watermelons

at two for a nickel!
We have lived in North Dakota
all of our life, but we are willing to
admit that there are lots OF thing.
about the state we have never heard
and lots of things in the state we
have never seen.
But wagon load of watermelons
raised in North Dakota and selling
at two for q nickel-we never sus.
pected we'd ever see that.
w F. Kimball is the man who
has realized s40O this year from
little more than four acres on his
farm five miles south of Fort Yates.
The melons selling for two a nickel
were rather small, but they made
up in quality what lacked in quan.
tity. The larger ones were sold for
more.
Mr.. Kimball has successfully
demonstrated what this county is
capable Of producing if one is will
ing to make the effort.

"An Off Day Now and Then

There was a baseball game last
Sunday and the boys didn't come
home home cheering,
The Mclaughlin boys had the ad-
vantage Of q home diamond on q
particularly windy and disagreeable
day. But we make no excuses.
The Mclaughlin team played good
ball. They won as they deserved
tbs alwaps easy to knock. We
are not going to because we believe
that an off day once in q while
doesn't necessarily mean that our
boys can't play ball. They have
proved they can.
Next Sunday we play selfridge
at Selfridge and the Sunday follow
ing Mclaughlin at Fort Yates. We
have pretty strong hunch that the
boys are going to show US some
clean cut ball playing at these
games. We know they can.

North Dakota State
Bank Loans Popular
Ten Sioux County Farmers F Make
Application For Loans
Last Week

The State Bank of North Doko-
ia has but recently been prr,,ared
to handle farm loans, but the nro-
gresslve farmers of Sioux county
have already taken advantage If the
opportunity which it offers. Conn.
ty Auditor O. A. Olson states that
in the last week or ten day4 ,en
Sioux county farmers have made
application through the proner
channels for farm loans.
The facts in connection with the
Interest charged on these farm loans
have been misrepresentcd by Ger.
tain newspapers OF the state. There
are two rates of interest on these
loans, six per cent and seven ner
cent. the long period loan maturing
in thirty years at seven per cent is
self-paying. That il, at maturity
the principal is already paid. No
further payment is necessary to
cancel the loan. This not the case
with the six per cent loan. Iuas-
much as the length of the loan ia
optional and can be paid in full at
any time during thu thirty years, it
is self evident that the latter inter
est bearing loans, the six per cent,
are the better kind for sl.ort lime
loans.
1t is possible then to do two
things with tll" farm louns of the
North Dakota State Bank. Take q
thlrty-year loan at seven yer cent
interest, already paid at maturity:
or short time loan with Nix Der
cent interest, with principal due
whenever the borrower wis! es to
cancel the loan.
