HElFER
IS PURCHASED

c. S. Brown Of the Springdale Stock
Company recently purchased Cumber-
land Lady Of the Baldwin Farms at
Glendale Cumberland Lady was
bred on the Baldwin Farms and is one
Of the best heifers ever shown in
North Dakota, and has taken more
champion ribbons than any other heif
er produced in North Dakota. Cum
berland Lady was sold to C. S. Brown
for $4,000. He also purchased her
. mother and two-half sisters. The
Baldwin Farms from which this heifer
comes, has perhaps one Of the best
Shothorn herds in America. Through
careful selection and breeding, j. c..
Hoke, manager of this stock farm,
has made wonderful success in build
ing up its Shorthorn herd. Mr.. Hoke
is a natural stock man who can detect
very readily the faults of ,1eef cattle,
through his keen judgment and
knowledge of cattle, he has in the
last few years, built up an excellent
herd. Mr.. Brown has also built up an
excellent herd Of Shorthorns in the
last few years. At present he has
over ninety head of registered. Short
horns mostly of straight Scotch
breeding. His herd is headed by
Bridgebank Nigal recently imported
from England. Mr.. Brown believes in
good herd headers and for this reason
no expense was spared in securing the
best bull that could be purchased.
Bridgebank Nigal was purchased
after his importation at Chicago for
$4,000. Two other exceptionally good
bulls are used on this farm. Royal
Prince purchased from w. B. Aylor
of Grandon, N. D., and White Barron
purchased from Wisconsin.
The Importance of both the Bald
win and Springdale herds is not par
ticularly what these herds have
meant to the Baldwin or to the Spring
dale farms or to j. C. Hoke or c.. S,
Brown but rather what they have
meant to the communities where these
men live and in fact the whole north
west in the development of more and
better live stock which tends to make
agriculture permanent, profitable and
creates within the individual spirit
of self satisfaction which makes for
more contented living on the farm.
The influence of these herds and
breeders is felt in the communities in
which they live and adjoining farms
have purchased some of this live stock.

WOMEN'S 0'CONNOR
CLUB IS FORMED

Devils Lake, Sept. 14.-Members Of
the city Federation of Women's Clubs
met at the home of Mrs. D. L. Stew
art and formed the nucleus of an o.
Conner club. Mrs. A. M. Powell pre-
sided. Mrs. A. E Toomey was elect
ed president and Mrs. William Bagby
secretary.
The women went on record as being
unqualified supporters of J. F. T.
O'Connor for the .governorship and
further resolved to do everything
possible to, insure his election.
p If the supreme court sustains the
North Dakota railroad commission in
it's new scale of interstate freight
rates, effective Aug. 26, the North Da-
kota shipper will pay much more for
the same shipment over the same dis
lance than the Minnesota or the South
Dakota shipper. At present the
new rate schedule is before the SUI
preme court for its decision, as to
whether or not the temporary injunc-
ton, enjoining the commission from
enforcing it shall be made permanent.

STRAW BALLOT
ON PRESIDENT

The Dakota Drug Co., of this city
will soon inaugurate new and novel
scheme for straw balloting on the
presidential candidates of this coun-
try. This company is one Of line of
Rexall stores, scattered throughout,
the United States, being one of the
5000 stores operated by this COM
pany. The plan is to place ballot
box in some convenient place in the
store, and every legal voter, man and
woman, may mark their straw ballot
for their favorite president and drop
it in. There will be separate boxes
for the men and women. At the end
of each day, the ballots will be taken
out and counted, and the total number
of votes cast for each candidate will
be wired to some state central point.
From there the result will be sent to
the company's headquarters some-
where in the east. After the returns
have been added together, they will
again be sent back to the branch
stores, where they will be posted,
showing just how the people Of the
country are balloting for the next
president. The results Of each days
balloting locally also will be made
public, and posted in some convenient
place for the public's information.
Although there is nothing official
about this balloting that will be car
ried on, it will serve to show just
about how the public mind runs as to
presidential candidate. This same
plan was carried out in 1916 by the
Rexall Company with the result that
the returns showed exactly how the
official election would go. In that year
balloting in North Dakota and other
western states, which are normally
republican, showed a majority forI
Woodrow Wilson, as well as nearly all |
the other states Of the union. Many
people declined to believe that the fall |
election would corroborate with the
straw balloting, but it did and Wilson
was elected.
The straw balloting which will be
carried on by this company will be
watched with interest, and will be
carried right up to the election day.
The management Of the local Rexall
store expects to have the ballot box
ready at once.

No Income from These Shares

Question-Among my various invest
ments are thirty shares Baltimore & Ohio
common at 100, twenty five shares Brook
lyn Rapid Transit at 7a. twenty five
shares Peoples Gas at 90. While I am
not dependent upon the income these
shares fail to give me. I would like you to
advise me whether 1t would be good policy
to dispose of any of these holdings at
market price and invest the proceeds in
paying securities-B. O.
Answer-Your question is q difficult
one for US to answer. You state that
you are not dependent upon the in
come from your stocks, and yet you
inquire if It would not be best to con
vert them into paying securities. If
you did the latter, your position would
undoubtedly be sounder, for just as
long as you hold the securities men
toned you will be specializing upon
their futures. This is matter for
you to decide. We do not, of course,
pretend to know what their future will
be. 1t is our opinion, however, that
the majority of railroad and public
utility stocks and bonds have very
nearly discounted the conditions in
which the companies find themselves
If you are of this opinion, and can
afford, as you probably can, to specu-
late upon the matter, we advise your
holding the stocks.

Gardner Motor Co.
To Incorporate Here

ST. LOUIS, July 8.-The Gardner
Motor Company, Inc, is soon to be or
ganized under the laws of New York
to take over the business assets and
good will Of the partnership Of the
same name in this city, it was an
nounced to-day. The new company will
have an authorized capitalization Of
100000 shares of no par value, with
$4,000 shares to be issued.
Hornblower & Weeks, of New York,
and Lorenzo E. Anderson & Co., Of this
city, have arranged to offer $4,000
shares of the new company to the pub
lie at $27 share. With the funds
derived from this sale and money put
into the company by financial inter-
ests, the New York corporation will
begin business with working assets Of
approximately s2,ooo,0o0, of which
close to $1,soo.o0o will be cash.
The Gardner Motor Company, Inc,
will continue to manufacture the Card
ner motor car, four-cylinder model,
which retails for $1,195. Russell E.
Gardner, president Of the new COM
pany, and his sons, were the organ
izers of the Chevrolet Motor Company,
now one of the principal General Mo-
tors units.
Production of the Gardner car was
begun on March /, and in that month
the output was BIT cars. The esti-
mated production for July is 1000 cars

Now that it is officially settled that
trading operations in wheat will be re-
sumed on Thursday of next week, the
trade is making closer study Of the
wheat situation, with the view Of arriv-
Ing at more definite ideas regarding
the merits of the situation and prob
able price levels.
Many think that the December posi-
tlon in Chicago will open at or around
$3.50 to $275, but there appears to be
quite wide difference Of opinion as to
the future course Of the market. Cash
wheat yesterday was again firm and in
the export market prices advanced
about q cent bushal. Offers were
limited and thare were good inquiries
IN evidence, with buyers apparently
willing to make contracts for cargo
lots.
Some authorities believe that the de-
mand from abroad will be Of sufficient
volume to maintain prices, if not to
send them to higher levels. Others
think that wheat will move more freely
IN the near future, ~ cars are being
sent into the Southwest, where the
banks are overloaded with grain paper
and where the new harvest is in prog
ress.
The outturn of the spring wheat
crop will be an important factor and
On this account the trade is watching

wnIcn have put back in the stock of

ask ask II you consider my investment In the
SwlIt and segregated companies q good
lnveatment to hold for dividends and a
possible increase In the price Of said stocks
AooVe present quotations I'll A. P.
Answer-Swift & Co. has been a sue
cessfully managed corporation. The
segregated companies you mention
have shown good earnings. We cannot
attempt to say what the future will
bring forth, much less attempt to fore
cast the prices of their stocks. You
Will probably find that the stocks in
question will show considerable sensi-
tlvencss to earning power. For that
reason we prefer and recommend those
securities which are so we'll secured
that they do not embody this feature
to any great extent. 1t might be ad-
visable. too, not to place your funds
in one class of investment, but to d.
versify your holdings. A substantial
reduction in the price of foodstuffs
might find you in position where all
your investments are adversely af-
fected.
