DEATH OF IVY WHITTERON

It is with deep regret that we are
called upon to chronicle the death this
week of Ivy Whitteron, daughter of
Mr.. Chas. Whitteron, who lives just
east of Bottineau.
For the past eight months Ivy has
been suffering with heart and kidney
trouble, but the end came suddenly
Sunday evening. She died at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Sprinkle in this
city, where she had been staying for
sometime.
Ivy was about 16 years of age and
had very kind and loving disposition
and was one of the brightest students
in her class. She leaves to mourn her
loss, her father, and sister, Gladys of
this city and one sister who has lived
in England since the death of her
mother, some years ago.
The funeral was held at the Pres
byterian Church Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. S. T. Simpson officiating and
the remains laid to rest beside those
of her mother, one sister and a broth
er.
The Courant extends sympathy to
the bereaved relatives.

4 MUNICIPAL POTATO WAREHOUSE FOR
CITY OF BOTlIEAU. WHY NOT?

without adequate storage facilities.
Why not build a muicipal warehouse
OF fifteen or twenty thousand bushel
capacity? This warehouse should be
jointly owned by the city and four or
more of the adjoining townships or by
the city itself. Possibly we would have
to issue bonds to build it but it need
not raise our taxes one cent as the
storage and warehouse charges could
be made sufficient to pay the inter-
est and sinking fund. We cannot haul
potatoes from our farms and load cars
in cold weather even if we had stor-
age for them at home and the best
prices are always received in winter
but we could load them from ware
house alongside car and get the best
prices also or we can sell to the mer-
chant or local shipper when prices are
high and if we need money in the
meantime we can take our warehouse
receipts to our banker and get loan
on them. Our present state constitu-
tion and laws allow us to build such
a warehouse and bond the property
itself for the larger part of it's cost.
Why not be one of the first to take ad-
vantage of this law and show out
siders that we are wide awake and
progressive?
Diversified farming has got to
come. 1T means less risk and more
money. To the merchant it means
more business and less slow pay or no
pay at all.
Let's make Bottineau headquarters
for potatoes.

The writer has talked with num-
Der of our business men in town and
local farmers and all agree that a
good potato warehouse here would be
a great convenience to town and coun-
try alike. We ought to grow thousands
Of acres of potatoes here both because
it is a profitable business and because
properly cultivated potato land will
grow a larger crop Of wheat the fol-
lowing season and often for several
seasons.
The fact that this country cannot
raise grain crops year after year IS
beyond controversy, we will have to
summerfallow or raise corn or pota-
toes or other cultivated crops.
We can raise corn in the dryest and
hottest kind Of season and we can
raise paying crop of potatoes alucst
without fail. We have never failed to
grow a fair crop of potatoes when we
handled the proposition right until
last year when the grasshopner;;
stripped them bare. There is no valid
reason why the farmers around Bot
tineau cannot raise from ten 10 one
hundred acres each year. We have
great piles Of manure. Our land needs
the cultivation and will not yield q
paying crop without it. IF we could
put half of our land in potatoes and
corn each year we would raise more
grain than we do now and have good
r.oney coming in on the potato ard
corn crop resides. North Dakota pota-
toes bring the highest price on the
Chicago and other eastern marAets.
We can raise the potatoes but we cam
not get the best market price FOR them

BABY's WEIGHT

Birth to 6 months, A or. per week;
6 months to 12 n-onths, 2 OF. per week;
/ year to IL years, / IL OF. per week.
A child should gain steadily, double
it's weight in months. treble it in
12 months and from to IL years
should gam pounds a year. The fol
lowing shows the normal gain child
ought to make during various ages:
Keep q record Of weight. Use balan-
ces, not spring scales.
If baby is well otherwise, but does
not gain at the breast, weigh baby
before and after feeding. II quantity
is deficient additional feeding should
be given Immediately after the breast
feeding. Never omit the breast feed

ELM & THORsON SELL OUT
TO JOHN ELTON

On Tuesday Of this week Elm &
Thorson, proprietors of the repair
shop in the Home Auto Co. sold their
interests to John Elton of Souris, who
will take charge next week.
The automobile owners Of Bottin-
eau and surrounding country are sorry
to know that this firm has sold out,
after about six years of operation
here, but Mr.. Elton is an old hand at
the game and there is no doubt but
what he viii live up to the reputation
that Elm & Thorson have built for
their repair business.
Mr.. Elton will move his family to
Bottineau from Souris, where they
have lived for many years, as soon as
suitable dwelling can be secured.
Neither Mr.. Elm or Mr.. Thorson
have definitely decided just where they
will locate in the future.

RED CROSS TO HELP
THOSE. IN NEED

The Bottineau County Chapter A. r.
G. has taken an important step in it's
history. .>
Now that the war obligation of this
organization is nearing it's close, it has
been definitely planned to take over
a piece Of work which will be direct
ed to home needs, thus turning from
war to peace work. 49,. 81.
The plan, as it was made at a meet
ing of the Executive Committee at
Bottineau last week is to offer relief
and service to dependent families
within the county. The present funds
and organizatlen viii be- devoted to
this cause. s. s'e N II 7ss 3
1 The aim Of the work is to help
troubled families as far as possible
toward the living of normal, useful
and contented ives,-to help them to
help themselves. Local representatives
in the various communities thruout
the county will be designated to take
the responsibility of this work. If pos
sible worker to devote full time to
this activity will be secured.
No more vital work than the respon-
sibility for our neighbors confronts
us especially at this period, and it is
commendable that an organization
such as the A. r. G. should take the
initiative. Miss Henrietta J. Lund, rep
resenting the Northern Division was
sent here to consult with the officers
and was enthusiastic over the work
which has been accomplished by the
Chapter and the willingness Of the
workers to turn to this new home
work.

wherefore Jehovah blessed the SAL

"If thou turn away thy foot from
the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure
on my holy day; and call the sabbath
Ia delight, and the holy of Jehovah,

nor finding thine own pleasure then
shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah,

North Dakota, being perfectly agree
able to the demand coming from the
Attorney General that he did not pro-
pose to sit idly by and see the Bank
Of North Dakota loaning money on
property, the borrowers title to which
is questionable. The Bank Immediate
" began turning over their abstracts
Of title to the Attorney Generals of.
flee for final certificate Of title be-,
fore closing the loans.
At this time Mr.. Chester "A. MARI,
was title examiner in the Attorney
Generals office for state school fund
loans. Mr.. Marr was high-class
title attorney and worked faithfully
and apparently considered that he
was hired in the Attorney Generals,
Office to do work instead Of playing
politics. Under the examinations Of
Mr.. Marr the titles were passed on
with reasonable promptness. How
ever, Mr.. Marr severed his connec-
tions with the Attorney Generals Of
dee, and one Albert e. Sheets was
assigned to this work.
Since January 6, 1920. there have
been six titles passed and returned to
this Bank. There are now with the
Attorney Generals office ninety-eight
abstracts aggregating a total sum of
$3.50. 600 awaiting an examination and
Anal certificate by his office. There
is also a large accumulation Of titles
here at the Bank as the management
feels that it would be useless to send
any more abstracts to the Attorney
Generals office while there is $780,
600 worth Of farm loans awaiting his
action.
Since January /, Mr.. LANCER has de-
voted practically his entire time. in
making political speeches in which he
criticizes The Bank Of North Dakota
for the small number Of farm loans
that have been made. For this reason
The Bank of North Dakota feels that
it is due to the public, and more es-
pecia'ly to the bankers and farmers
Of North Dakota, to know why there
is delay in closing great many OF
the farm loans that have been applied
for. It will be readily understood that
the Banks ability to loan money on
farm loans is dependent entirely on
the passing Of titles, and, as before
stated, Idwish to work in perfect har-
nnony with the Attorney Generals of
fice, being as anxious to protect the
,,nn,,ov that is loaned on nrOperty as
the Attorney General and just as care
f1l TO know that the borrowers title
is unquestionable. We have, without
any hesitancy whatever, turned over
all titles to his office FIR irsrection.
