The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-08-05

The excellent creed Of Nathan
Straus. millionaire and continuing
philanthropist, has been quoted as FOL.
lows: "fhere is no satisfaction In
money alone. Food and home, work
and play-they are for rich and poor
alike. And find that the only last
ing satisfaction is what you can do
for the world"

Stiff advances have been granted
the railroads by the interstate COM
merce commission. The advance will
amount to $4,000, 900, 900 and will
permit the roads to make improve
ments to meet the S618,000,O00 en-
ployees' wage increase. The in
crease includes IS percent raise in
western freight rates, 20 percent milk
rates 20 percent, all passenger fares
20 per cent excess baggage charges
and so percent surcharge for all Pull
man sleeping and parlor car rates.
Since the government turned the
roads back to the owners in March,
the roads have incurred a deficit of
100000, 100000 it is claimed. The
reads want 100000 new freight cars,
5000 passenger cars and 1000 loco
motives. This great increase will
have tendency to make the cost Of
living soar still higher for tribute
will be imposed on each and every
one Of US.
The writer recently made an auto
tour eastward thru the state and had
an opportunity to try out the North
Dakota highways. There are some
excellent roads in North Dakota. The
roads are particularly good in Barnes
and Cass counties. It ought to pay
the commissioners of any Of the other
counties to take a ride over those
highways and make study of them
at first hand. Those roads are nicely
rounded up and shed the water per-
fectly. So many of the roads appear
to, be built to catch the rainfall. A
case in point is. the new grade of
road southwest of this city on the
Minot-Douglas trail. Certainly this
road cannot be considered as COM
pleted. If so, it is in worse con-
dition than if it had never been touch
ed.
The writer visited Hubbard county,
Mimi, recently and made some in
quiries concerning the value Of farm
land. The soil is not half as good
as that in North Dakota, yet farms
are selling for $4,000 and $4,000 an
acre. The soil is sandy and will pro-
duce little except clover and potatoes.
The wheat and oats crops look very
slim. This is mostly cut-over land
that has been cleared Of roots and
stumps at great effort and consider.
able cost. 1t is worth upwards OF
$50 an acre to clear out the old
stumps and break the soil. North
Dakota farmers are away better of
than those Of many sections Of Mime
sofa. If our farmers would apply
the same dairying methods as the
farmers from our neighboring state
do, they would beat them two to one.

Straus. millionaire and continuing
philanthropist, has been quoted as fol.

The writer is back from his pisca-
torial expedition to number of Min
nesota lakes and believes he has stor-
ed up enough energy to last another
twelve months. The readers of the
Independent undoubtedly enjoyed the
vacation as much as we did, for never
was this old family journal so we'll
edited and as interesting as it was
during the three weeks we were in
quest Of the finny tribe in the mirror
like lakes of Minnesota. An unfair
advantage was taken of the writer
during his absence, however, for upon
his return, no one appeared to believe
any of the stories he had prepared to.
tell, and they will forever remain un-'
told. We have picture of the lake
and the old log cabin beside it on our
desk anyway, and when the winter
winds howl during the long months
to come, we intend to look at the pic
ture occasionally for an inspiration,
and dream of the time when we're
going back to try to land the big fish
that slipped off the hook.

While the Ward county farmers and
those from other sections Of north
western North Dakota, will harvest a
fair crop, it can be stated that the
1920 crop will hardly pay more than
expenses. This is keen disappoint.
ment for if ever the farmers needed
to harvest paying crop, it is this
year. The wheat average in Ward
county is not more than eight or nine
bushels. Considering present prices
for labor and wheat, farmer cannot
make any money on his wheat crop
unless he gets yield of at least Is
bushels per acre. Fortunately there
will be an abundance of feed. The
oats are fair crop, altho millet will
be very light owing to the dry wealth
er. Corn is going to be very good
yield, altho not as good as last year.
The hay crop is very fair and there
will be an abundance of straw, not
stack of which should be burned this
fall. The farmers as usual will have
to depend on their cows for it has
been demonstrated time and again
that success cannot be attained by
straight grain farming. There are
exceptions this year Of course. A
number of farmers who fortunately
put in their wheat early on ground
we'll prepared, are going to harvest
a yield of around Is bushels, but so
many continue to pillow their land shall
low that they cannot hope for big
yield. In the spring, many farmers
waited until their entire field was dry
before blowing it, instead of blowing
around the pot holes and getting the
higher portions of the field in early.
considered the farmers are
away better off than they have been
at any time since 1915, and great
deal of money will be put into circu-
ation.

lrrigating Strawberries

At cost of S100, New York
strawberry grower installed an
overhead irrigation system. AS a
result, there was an increase in pro-
duction of 5000 quarts to the acre.
AS these sold for an average price
OF twenty cents a quart, the income
amounted to 81 900 an acre. There
fore, on-the first seasons crop, he
realized an added profit of 5000 an
acre. Had he not irrigated, his
production would have been as in
other parts of the patch, about
5000 quarts an acre.
At the present time, the over
head sprinkling or spray system Of
irrigation is used extensively in the
eastern strawberry and truck belts.
1t has fully demonstrated the fact
that it places in the hands of the
grower the power to apply water
when it is needed, and everywhere
profits several times greater than
cost of installation have marked
the method. ..-Ex

MOVING PICTURES
IN THE PARK

Quite an innovation for our COM
mnnlty has been introduced by the
Educational Department of the
Community church in offering, on
Sunday evenings, high class NOV
ing pictures in the city park. The
Department is negotiating for a
high grade machine and the pic
lures last Sunday evening demon
strated the fact that there is to be
nothing cheap or shoddy about the
whole affair. The pictures were
large and clear and the sub-titles
easily read from almost any place
in the park. Arrangements are
being made to seat the audience
and we are confidently expecting
to see the largest Sunday evening
gatherings we have ever known in
the city. This is certainly a most
unique method of presenting the
truth and the Department is to
be congratulated upon the novel
and popular plan they have devised
for instruction, entertainment and
worship. There win be no picture
next Sunday evening on account of
the Chautauqua but each suitable
evening hereafter the pictures will
be given in the park or some suit
able building.

A good sized crowd of town and
country people enjoyed the music
rendered by Extra band last even

a series of concerts which will be
given here this summer. Each
Wednesday evening the boys will
endeavor to put little JOY into

OUR WEATHER EYE
All One Body We

Town and country are coming
together.
The city dweller and the farmer,
the business man of the town and
the business man of the country,
are getting better acquainted than
In days gone by; and they are
finding that they like each other
first rate.
The truth is becoming clear that
the town and the country are mu-
tually dependent. Each serves
and is served by the other; and the
service that each performs is neces-
sary to the Others well-being.
For whether we think of the
banker the merchant, the railroad
agent, the lumber dealer, the ply
slclan, or any other person who
does business in town, we can see
that he is performing a service that
country people find needful, and
without which they could not very
we'll get along. Moreover, we,
know THAI his MAIN business in
life is to perform this service FOR
THE COUNTRY PEOPLE. The
fact that he performs it for the
townspeople as we'll is merely Incl
dental The first and greatest bus
mess of the town is to serve the
country; and that town thlives
best which. serves its country pop
ulation best.
On the other hand, the main
business OF the people who live in
the country is to feed and clothe
the people who live in town; and
this service is of course impera-
lively necessary to the town. The
town is the market for the farmers
produce, whether it be the home
town or another elsewhere; and
without their market, most of the
comforts and pleasures of life
would alike be denied the country
people.
1t all comes to this: that the two
are one and can no more be separ-
ated than the living body can be
cut in twain.
Our Weather Eye tells us that
we are lately beginning to see these
things through a glass darkly;;"
that as a visible result, the old
time suspicion and chstrust are
vanishing away; that in their place
we are witnessing the growth Of
the spirits of service, goodwill and
friendship that the time is already
here when we should think of the
community as ALL Of us, Including
both town and country; that town
should henceforth work for ceun-
try, and country work for town,
and all Of us work for everybody
else; and that out of it is presently
to come better, happier, and more
prosperous community in which
ALL of us shall live.

FORMER EXTRA BOY
BURIED HERE SUNDAY
Charles Bartlett, Son of
Ed Bartlett and Wife,
Drowned in Wyoming

Following is an account taken
from the Casper, Wyoming, paper
of Friday, July 10th, of the tragic
death Of Charles Bartlett, only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Bartlett, who
moved from Extra to Casper a year
ago last fall:
Suddenly seized with cramps,
Chas. Bartlett, a fifteen year old
youth, sank to the bottom Of a
swimming pool west of Casper last
night and drowned while two cousins
Carl and Kenneth Bartlett, were
making heroic attempts to go to his
assistance. The scene of the tradegy
is a pool that was formed by high
water from the Platte river, flood
ing gravel pit from which the
Burlington road has been taking
sand during the past few months.
The pool which is located Just
west OF the Burlington bridge is us
feet long, IS foot wide, and 20 feet
at the greatest depth. 1t has oeen
great attraction for youthful
swimmers ever since the water arose
to the high poirt in the river.
When the two witnesses saw that
they would be unable to succor
their cousin without assistance, one
of the lads was dispatched to town
for assistance. Sheriff Royce and
d. M. Ellithorpe, chief Of police
were notified. Both secured the as
sistance Of a deputy and departed
for the scene of the drowning.
After many attempts to find the
body which was buried beneath 20
feet of water, the search was post
poned until today, when it was
hoped that graphing hooks could
be secured and the body taken
from the water.
After the officials departed, j. c..
Reed, L. Lef6ngwell and V. Moore
mounted a rudey constructed raft
and armed with long pole probed
the watery grave until young Bart
lett's body was located. Then
they towed it underneath the water
by rolling it over, and over to a
shallower part of the pool, when
they dived and brought the body
to the surface.
Coroner Lew M. Gay was i'm
mediately notified and the body
was taken to the Shaffer Gay
chapel, after having been under
meath the water for two hours.
The Bartlett family lives on the
corner of Oak and Dover streets.
The deceased lad is survived by
father, mother and one sister, Vera,
who are grief stricken over the
drowning"
The body was shipped back to
Extra, arriving here Sunday morn
ing early. Funeral services were
held Sunday afternoon in the Chris
tian church, conducted by Rev.
Lawton. Interment was made in
| Extra cemetery.
