At Lincoln, Neb., there Is boys
and girls garden club that has Great
ed a new departure in the marketing Of
garden products. The members of the
club-4,000 strong-produced more
garden fruits and vegetables than
they could use. How could they dis
pose of the surplus crop? An open
air market was suggested. The board
of trade and chamber Of commerce
favored the plan, and q Saturday
morning open-air market was created.
J At first the business men of Lin
coin complained that it would inter-
fere with the regularly established
produce trade; later they learned that.
on the contrary, the boys and girls
Saturday market created larger de-
mand for produce during the week,
and they are now enthusiastic over the
arrangement. That open-air market
has become a regular factor In the
economic scheme of things at Lincoln
and, curiously enough, 50 per cent of
the members of the club are girls
1t may be popularity believed that
the marketing end of farm production
should be conducted by the men. That
may be true with regard to some COM
modities, but marketing experts of
the department of agriculture main
tain that sometimes women are better
qualified to handle the marketing
work in connection with poultry,
eggs, and canned products. The pro-
duction of poultry and eggs is largely
a matter attended to by farm women.
Canning Is left entirely to the women.

II farm products can be marketed to
best advantage by those who have the
greatest intimacy with them, does 1t
not follow that the departments con-
tention Is correct?
Several hundred thousand gallons of
apples are used In Spokane, Wash,
each year in the manufacture of bak-
ers' pies. Two years ago 10000 gal
Ions of apples annually were shipped
to Spokane from the state Of New
York. Today, although the demand
is greater, the quantity of imported
apples has been reduced considerably,
for the demand is supplied Mt home.
That accomplishment was made posi-
Bile by 20 young girls-glrls between
the ages Of ten and eighteen-who
knew that thousands of gallons of Gull
apples were going to waste on farms
in the vicinity of Spokane. Through
the assistance of the United States de-
.partment OF agriculture and Washing
ton state agencies, a girls canning
club was formed, with the result that
these small. Gamers are furnishing
Spokane bakers with large part of
their canped-apple' supplies. Not only
do these young girls attend to the
work of canning, but they handle the
entire transaction from start to finish.
Learning Better Methods.
il II is conservatively estimated that
IS per cent OF the membership of boys
and girls club work throughout the
nation consists of girls. Within few
years the majority Of those girls Will
take their places as American farm
women. They are now, In their teens,
studying and working out problems
that will confront them later on. And
while they are doing that they are
learning the fundamental principles In
scientific production and marketing
pethods that must supplant those b.
lng used at present In order to meet
Ire increasins food requirements Of

tant factors in bringing about the
realization of the Importance Of the
poultry industry Is the establishment
of poultry clubs among the boys and
girls. Just as poultry keeping was for
merly considered minor branch of
farm work, so 1t was formerly thought
that the keeping Of fowls was purely
an activity for adults. With the de-
velopment of other forms Of agricul-
tural clubs among children 1t was
found that there was very definite
place for clubs having for their OBJ
ject the production of poultry. In
1912 this project was formally
launched by the United States de-
partment of agriculture in the state
OF Virginia.
The poultry club work was begun on
a very small and conservative scale.
to see II Il would be profitable and
practical. At the end Of 1913 the sue
cess OF the work. rs Il was carried on

members, proved that It bad wide pos

project was not only highly practicable
In accomplishing it, principal object

example of gradual change away
from scrub animals and toward those

NEVER KICK HORSE ON FOOT
Lateral Cartilage 10 Liable TO Be
Bruised, Causing Inflammation
and lameness-

When examining the foot of horse
or mule never kick the foot to make
the animal lift 1t off Of the ground. In
kicking the foot you are liable to
bruise the lateral cartilage causing in
flammation and deposit Of bone cells.
This deposit of bone cells Is the start
ing Of side bone. which will cause
lameness. This lameness once started
is extremely hard to stop. So never
kick the horse on the foot.

SUPERIOR FALL VEGETABLES
Rsdishes and Lettuce Are Appreciated
and Are as Easily Grown In
Autumn as In Spring.

Radishes and lettuce are appreciat-
ed again, as the hot weather has made
their growth difficult and their quail
ty poor. In the fall they are as easily
grown as In the spring and as good.
A little frost does not hurt them. and
they last over a long season. The
large varieties Of radishes planted
late In the summer win make immense
roots that can be stored and kept
over winter.

PERRY AND GRONNA WILL
OPPOSE DIR. E. F. LADD

Fargo, Sept. 2-According to word
reaching Fargo today, United States
Senator AISLE Gronna has decided to
file as an Independent candidate for
senator at the November election in
opposition to DR.. E. F. Ladd. This ac-
tion would seem to indicate that the
I " "A. bosses have failed in their
efforts to secure an agreement on the
senatorship.
Senator Gronna's decision to run
will play havoc with the entire I. v.
"A. ticket, political forecasters say.
H. H. Perry who won the Democratic
nomination at the primaries has per-
emptorily refused to get out of the
race, declaring the I. v. A. bosses
must keep their pre-primary promises
and give him their support. Gronna' s
entrance into the campaign will not
only split the vote against Ladd, but
materially reduce the voting strength
of the entire state ticket, representing
Big Biz.
Leading !. V. A. bosses, working for
O. Connor, are deeply perturbed by
this latest mare's-nest in the inner
circle.

Among the list there were four men
from the city of Kramer, c. T.

Hersh, grocery store; G. Zech, To-
cal blacksmith ad Adam Haas, man.
ager of the Farmers Elevator. Ed.

All the league members have done
business with the State Bank Of Kra-

b0TT|NfA!l HAS
UP-T0-DATE SHOP

Few people, if any, know that C. R.
Gleason, local Ford dealer, has one of
the finest equipped repair shops in
North Dakota. In fact the local shop
is as we'll equipped as the Ford
branch at Fargo and Grand Forks.
There is no other Ford garage in
North Dakota with the same line of
tools and other appliances which go
to make efficiency when it comes to
overhauling Ford cars and Fordson
tractors.
Among late equipment installed by
Mr.. Gleason is a Danielson Burning
machine which is adjustable to ac-
commodate either Ford or Fordson mo-
tors. This machoine fits the bearings
of the car or tractor to thousandth
part of an inch and does it in a very
short period of time. Then there is
the babbiting jig with which bookings
are run on both the car and tractor,
in a minimum length of time. This
tool is one Of the very latest on the
market and takes the place of the old
slow way of running babbit by hand.
A reboring outfit for both car and
tractor has also been installed and
when old motors are rebored come out
like factory jobs. Besides the above a
great many other labor saving de-
vices are in use, including individual
motor drive for nearly all the mach
inery, electric drills, individual motor
stands, etc.

STATE HOMES FOR JIMTOWN

Jamestown, N. D.-Railroad men
and other workers Of the city are
waxing enthusiastic over the State
Home Building association and with
in few weeks operations may be
started on several new houses. Oscar
B. Tewes, assistant manager of the
Home Builders Association was here
Monday evening, Aug. 80, explaining
the provisions Of the act to more than
200 persons.
A number of people pledged them
selves to buy bonds of the associa-
tion, also depositing their savings
with it. In this manner they will make
it easier to purchase material for the
houses.
Contracts were closed by the asso-
citation for six new houses in Fargo
this week. Twelve domiciles are al
ready under construction.

A Plan, FORGERY

Word reached Bottineau yesterday
that something like 80 laborers were
idle in Cando and when approached
by the Chief Of Police of that city
and told to either go to work for the
going wages at threshing or leave
town one Of the number presented the
Chief Of Police with card reading
something like this: ....
To Whom It May Concern:
The bearer Of this card is entitled
to stay in your city as long as he so
desires and you cannot drive him out
if he does not care to go to work for
the going wages.-Signed Lynn j.
Frazier, Governor, North Dakota.
Now just what do you think about
that for dirty work and there is not
the least doubt but that the PROPOSE
tion was launched by some I. v. A. in
an effort to hurt the Nonpartisan
League. Does any sane minded person
of North Dakota think that the Gov
ernor Of our state would issue any
thing like the above? We certainly do
not and feel that all ace-officers
should arrest men carrying these
cards.

through friendly banks.
IA. In the operation of The Bank
Of North Dakota, the power lies with
the people, and it is not proposed by
those of whom it's management has
been delegated to recommend that the
power be removed from the people
and vested in any particular interests.
In view of the foregoing, do you not
think that it would be appropriate
that your office should make some de-
fiite effort to place before the bankers
of the state the advantages they are
deriving through the operation of The
Bank of North Dakota, and that their
heraty cooperation towards The Bank
of North Dakota should be enlisted
rather than that any opposition to
the bank should be encouraged. The
opposition to the Bank of North Da-
kota is much the same as was the op-
position to the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn and comes from much the same
class of people. Even these same peo-
pie would not now be willing to abol-
ish the Federal Reserve System, nei-
ther will they ultimately favor the
abolishing of The Bank of North Da-
kota.
Believe me, Mr.. McFadden, that you
as ever, still continue to hold my warm
personal friendship.
Sincerely yours,

WHEATON TOWNSHIP
FARMER IS SHOT

While returning from visit on the
Canadian side, Monday morning be-
tween one and two o'clock, in Dodge
runabout, owned by Adolph Schutt,
and who was accompanied by Albert
Kissner, they were overtaken by a
large car, about one mile north Of the
Canadian border. One Of the oc-
cupants Of the big car fired shot
at Mr.. Schutt's car. Mr.. Schutt drove
faster and about IN miles south Of
the border turned east towards home
with the big car following. About a
half mile east of the turn Mr.. Schutt
received bullet wound in the back
from 45 caliber pistol. Mr.. Schutt
stopped his car and the big car ran
by it about 100 feet and five men got
out and came back and ordered Schutt
and Kissner out of their car. Schutt
told them he was shot but he was
ordered to get out again or they
would shoot his head off. TIE holdups
blindfolded Sehutt and Kissner and
made them sit down on the road in the
glare of their own lamps. The holdup
men took practically all the gasoline
out Of their car and searched both
Schutt and Kissner and then drove
off. It is supposed that these five
men belong to gang of highway men
who are operating in this part of the
state and are very desperate bunch
who will stop at nothing.
The Minot police are working on
the case with information given them
by Sheriff Hennessy and may be able
to find some clue to the identity of the
men.
Mr.. Schutt was operated on Monday
afternoon and had the bullet removed
from the tissues of the abdominal cav
ity. The bullet hit rib and glanced
up and hit another bone which de-
flected it and finally lodged in the
abdominal cavity. Unless complioa-
tions set in Mr.. Schutt will recover
nicely. !
The bullet came through the heavy
iron covering of the car and through
the back of the seat which had hard
wood board in it, this stopped the
force considerably or Mr.. Schutt no
doubt would have been hurt much
worse.

CRAFT CHARGES

Bismarck.-William Lemke. q spec-
lal assistant attorney general appoint

probing into the public career of At
corney General LANCER, and as soon
as the election excitement has passed
IN November he will make public his
report: Serious allegations have re-
peatedly been made against Langer's
integrity, but no specific attempt was
made to sift them out. In a stinpinp
letter given to the press last week
mr.. Lemke rebuked LANCER for his
attempts to becloud the political is
sue in the state this fall by dragging
J. W. Brinton's red herring into the
limelight. Following is copy of one
Of the most cutting thrusts in Mr..
Lemke's singing rebuke:
Il am investigating the charge that
you embezzled $4,000 in divorce pro-
ceeding, the woman in the case having
asked for your disbarment.
To Probe Land Deal
Il am investigating the charge that
while assistant states attorney of
Morton county, you received three
quarter sections of land in considera-
tion Of your bringing about the dis
mlssal of criminal complaint against
Michael Jahner, the deeds to this land
having been made to yourself at about
the time of the dismissal of the case.
Il am investigating the charge that
you attempted to sell out the states

acted as you did in this instance for
a consideration.
~ am investigating your attempt to
pay unlawfully out Of the state treas
ury several thousands of dollars in
advance fees to political lawyers re-
tanned by yourself-an attempt which
I had the honor to assist in blocking.
"And regarding your new partner
in politics, who resembles you so
greatly both in temperament and in
morals, J. w. Brinton, I now have be-.
fore me and am investigating numer-

Will Give Fair Trials
"You may rest assured that if the
facts justify any or all Of these
charges against you or your friend
shall prosecute them to the extent
of my ability. But I do not intend to
make these charges campaign issue.
Any prosecutions I may bring will not
be political prosecutions. And in order
that politics may be kept out of the
cases, I shall not bring them to trial
until after election, when the calmer
Judgment that will then exist will give
the possibility of a fair trial and a
deliberate judgment.

HIJGE REDUCTION MADE IN AS.
sEssED VALUATION OF
FARM LANDS IN STATE

Bismarck,-At recent meeting OF
the board of equalization the assessed
valuation of North Dakota farm lands
was reduced to the extent of $36, 6,OO4,-
O24 for 1920. T..
The total valuation for the farmers
lands last year was $1,O72,187 ,655,
while for the coming fiscal period it
will be $1,O36, 1853, 629.
The action of the equalization board
in slashing last years valuation will
reduce the burden of taxation on the
farms insofar as general levies are
concerned very materially.
One of the surprises sprung at the
meeting was a declaration by Tax
Commissioner George E. Wallace that
the slash in the assessment on farm
lands will not interfere with his plans
to make the state levy seven-tenths OF
a mill.
Frazier Took Initiative
Nj. The lead in the move to reduce farm
lands was taken by Governor Frazier
and Commissioner John N. Hagen
who with Insurance Commissioner 5.
A. Olsness, form the farmer-labor ma
jority Of the board. Com. Olsness, who
is i'll in Chicago hospital has taken
no part in the proceedings to date.
Attorney General LANCER was fore
most in the move to boost the as
sessed valuations of business proper
ty in the principal cities Of the state,
Langer's motion called for increasing
the valuation Of city property in Far
70 and Grand Forks by 80 per cent.
