As An Englishman Saw Us

IN Rudyard klpling's new book,
Letters Of Travel", the distinguished
English writer shows how the West
in America gripped his imagina ton
depressing him with it's monotony of
earth and sky, vastness that dwarfs
human endeavors and arouses the
half-formed terror which inlanders
feel for the sea.
"They work for harvest with steam
plows here" Kipling writes. "How
could mere horses face the endless fur
rows? And they attack the earth
with tooth-cogged and spiked engines
that would be monstrous in shops, but
here are only speckles on the yellow
grass. Even the locomotive is cow
ed. A train Of freight cars is pass
ing along line that comes out of the
blue and goes till it meets the blue
again. Elsewhere the train would
move off with joyous vibrant roar.
Here it steals away down the vista
of the telegraph poles with an awed
whisper-steals away and sinks into
the SOIL"

WOMAN PAROLED WHO KILL
ED HER CONVICT MATE

Langdon, N. D., Aug. 3.-Mrs. Louis
Godon, who killed her convict husband
by shooting July 4, was paroled yes
terday by Judge A. G. Burr after
he had passed sentence of five years
upon her. She pleaded guilty of man
slaughter in the first degree, telling
the court she had killed her husband
when she thought he was going to
shoot her after a quarrel.
The husband had threatened to
harm her because she had not worked
to secure his pardon instead of parole
from the state penitentiary, where he
was serving sentence for statu-
tory offense against his 16-year-old
stepdaughter. He was pardoned last
spring. Authorities say the woman
is mentally weak.
On the morning of the shooting,
Gcdon had left their bedroom to get
shot gun. His wife went to third
room, secured a revolver, and shot
her husband as he re-entered the bed
room.

Onion 10 Inches in Circumference


w. A. w. Culbertson, of MADEIRA,
Calf, arrived Tuesday to visit rela-
tives and to look after his farming
interests near Surrey. Mr.. Culbert-
son brot samples of choice California
fruit and vegetables with him. He
left a mammoth onion at this office,
which weighs a little over two pounds.
1t is 10 inches in circumference and
is said to be as sweet as an apple.
Mr.. CulbertsOn says he saw plot
of ground 5Ox15O at Madeira that
produced 10 sacks of onions. He
says that money flows as freely as
water in the west. A Jap gardener
expects to take $4,000 worth of DO.
tatoes of so acres. Most of the labor
is done by the Japs. Tulare Lake
partially dried up this year and one
man put in nine sections of barley on
the lake bottom, getting from 81 to 65
sacks to the acre, each sack containing
two bushels. The crop was worth
about 900,0OO.0O. Mr.. Culbertson
says the present price of land is so
high that he would hesitate in recon-
mending his friends to invest there
now, believing that when the price
of fruit drops, the value Of the land
will come down. He says that one
can hardly buy raisins at all there as
the crop is grabbed up by those wish
ing to make intoxicating liquor from
the fruit.

RUST DOES DAMAGE
TO THELATE WHEAT.
Ward County Yield Cut Down Nearly
One.Half by Rust and Dry Wea-
ther-GOrman Estimates Ward
County Wheat Yield at or
9 Bushels.

Rust, which put in it's appearance in
this vicinity week ago Tuesday, is
doing great deal of damage to the
late wheat, according to a statement
made to the Independent by County
Agent German. Mr.. German states
that the early wheat escaped the raw
ages Of the rust, but the late wheat
has been seriously damaged and much
of it will hardly pay to cut.
The rust is the worst where the
crops are the heaviest, particularly in
the vicinity of Max, yet it is showing
up to some extent everywhere. Mr..
German states that farmers should be
careful not to cut the fields affected
until it is learned that the wheat is so
far gone that it will no longer take up
the moisture from the soil.
The rust is reported heavy in
other sections of the state. Mr.. Cor
man passed thru Wells county last
week and found that the rust was do
ing much damage thruout that county
where the wheat prospects have been
very bright.
Mr.. German states that, the wheat
average thruout the state will not be
over seven bushels. The average in
Ward county will be eight or nine
bushels he thinks. Two weeks ago, he
estimated that the Ward county aver
age would run around Is bushels, but
the rust and dry weather have cut
down the yield nearly one half since
that time.

When Bill Nye Had Cow for Sale
Bill Nye, the humorist, once had a
cow he wanted to sell and he unblush-
ingly advertised all her faults while
naming the few virtues she seems to
have possessed. His advertisement
ran:
sowing to my ill health, I will sell
at my residence in township 10, range
18, according to the government sur
vey, one plush raspberry COW, age 8
years. She is of undoubted courage
and gives milk frequently. To the
man who does not fear death in any
form, she would be great boon. She
is very much attached to her present
home with a stay chain, but she will
be sold to anyone who will agree to
treat her right. She is one-fourth
Shorthorn and three-quarters hyena.
l will also throw in double barrel
shotgun which goes with her. In May
she usually goes away for a week
or two and returns with tall red calf
with wobbly legs. Her name is Rose.
l would rather sell her to non-Resi-
dent, the farther away the better"

WARD COUNTY FARMERS RECEIVED
$4,000 FOR CREAM IN MONTH OF JUNE

manufactured and in this way, will be
making it possible for the butter nun
ufacturers to give the producer higher
returns for his cream.
The dairy industry is in its infancy
in North Dakota and it will not be but
matter of few years until the dairy
products will give larger returns than
the wheat crops of North Dakota.
The following are few of the
things which may help to better the
conditions of cream:
| SOUR CREAM, like any other per-
ishable commodity, is the first stages
Of deterioration. One of the causes
for sour cream is bacteria laden uten-
sils, or lack of cooling, or the mixing
of warm and cold cream, or holding
cream beyond a reasonable period.
Cream utensils should be washed,
steamed and dried thoroughly and not
left wet, as this is the best breeder
Of bacteria known.
YEASTY OR FOAMINC CREAM,
is caused by the same agencies which
cause cream to sour, more particularly
unwashed utensils or extreme heat.
BAD FLAVORS caused by improp-
er feed, such as wild onion, rag week,
sage brush, beet tops or rape. There
is practically no remedies for this
flavor after it is once in the cream.
There are only two ways in which
any effect can be had upon feed prob
lens and this is, not to feed objec-
tionable feeds if possible to mich
cows. The other is, not allowing the
cows to eat such feeds for three hours
before milking, almost always elm
mates bad f1avors. If cows are con-
fined over night to keep them from
such feed, the morning milking is quite
free from bad flavor.
Be very careful about favors which
would be absorbed by cream in the
same room with gasoline, kerosene,
kitchen odors, such as the frying cf
meats, cabbage and onions. Be very
careful not to have your cream con-
fined in the cellar which contains cell
cry or any other strong odor.
Cream produced by clean utensils
and cooled, has good flavor, it makes
good butter which the purchaser will
pay good price and does not want
his money back. The better the price
Of butter. the better the price of
cream. The creamery operators are
endeavoring to their utmost to pro-
duce better grade of butter. ARE

Subscription Raised by Friends OF
Prisoner to Investigate
the Case.

Lawyers have been retained by rel
atives and friends of Henry Layer,
now serving life sentence in prison
for the Turtle Lake murders, to seek
new trial for him.
The firm of Kelly and Morris, Of
Darlington, will handle Layers case.
Attorney James Morris was to begin
an investigation Of the circumstances
of the case by personal visit to Tur-
tie Lake, and to investigate the story
of Layers relatives who declare he is
innocent.
1t is said that large amount of
money was subscribed by Layers rel
atives and friends to push his case.
Local authorities and authorities in
Mclean county do not believe the eff
fort will result in any gain for Layer.
A detective employed by the Governor
has been working on the case for sew
eral weeks, but has made no an
nouncement of any progress.

u. s. LOCHINVARS GO TO RES
CUE OF CELIBATE EUROPE
Women From Abroad Come to Seek
Husbands in "Overmanned"
America.

Washington, Aug. 3.-America, only
nation in which men outnumber wo-
men, now is supplying husbands for
women of Europe, where there are
not enough males to 60 around, re-
ports to the immigration bureau in
dicated today.
Approximately 434,OOO persons,
mostly men, sailed from the United
States in the year ended with June,
according to reports.
Furthermore, single European wo-
men and women widowed by the war
are rushing to the United States to
get husbands, reports indicate.
"1n the United States the situation
is far different and long has been,"
said Commissioner Caminetti, head of
immigration bureau. Here men al
ways have outnumbered women. In
1910 the census showed there were
approximately 100000 more men
than women.
"The number Of single men out
numbered single women by more than
100000. Now the discrepancy be-
tween the sexes is far more pronounc-
ed than in 1910"

HOlbeins Are in the Rockies

wall n. Holbeln, secretary of the
Association of Commerce, accompa-
MED by Mrs. Holbein, left in their
auto Friday for Columbia Falls, Mon
tana, where they will spend three
weeks at that delightful place in the
Rockies.
Mr.. Holbein wrote that he had ar
rived at Chinook, Mont. He found
some bad roads and as a result broke
a front spring. He advises Montana
tourists to stop at Harlem and in
quire the way to Chinook and also
from the latter place to Havre, which
will save them passing over some
very bad roads. Considerable work
is being done on the Roosevelt high
way, but the roads will not be i'm
proved much before next year.
Mr.. Holbein states that the crops
are good all along the way and looks
for money to be easier than any time
since 1916.

Minot Tuesday morning with 800 lbs.
of wool, in four sacks which he load
ed into his auto. His neighbors were

WHISKEY Still FOUND
east Of The CITY
Sam Boone, Old Offender, and One
Swanson Taken to Jail-Squirrel
Whiskey and Poor Grade of
Home Brew Found at the
Place.

A whiskey still which bore evidences
of considerable usage, was located in
shed adjoining the yellow house at
the turn in the Minot-Logan road
three miles southeast of the city when
Sheriff Scofeld, Deputy Clarence Van
denoever and States Attorney Herig-
star staged timely raid.
Five barrels full of dope about
ready for the still were found in the
shed and after samples for evidence
had been procured, the filthy stuff was
poured onto the ground. In the base
ment 100 pints of home breWed beer
were found.
Sam Boone, and a fellow named
Swanson, the latter a cripple, were ar
rested and taken to the county Jail.
Their preliminary has not been held
but it is probable that they will be
turned over to the federal authorities.
Boone is an old offender, having
served time for bootlegging. He was
in bed when the officers called and he
didn't like very much to be disturbed.
He took too much time to dress and
when the sheriff told him to hurry,
he declared that he would take all the
time he wanted. Deputy Vanden-
oever, who is mighty husky, thot diff
ferent, so picked the fellow up bodily
and carried Boone out thru two doors,
tossing him into the car, Boone still
holding to his shirt.
The booze was about the filthiest
stuff that could be imagined. The
stuff had been made from rotten ap-
pies, which the men say they picked
up on the city dump east Of town,
and raisins. One bottle of whiskey
with sufficient kick to make man
climb tree, was found. 1t is said
that man who drank some of the
stuff made at this still, nearly died
and is still in the hospital, officers,
