taste as plain as day.

BRICK AND TILE
PLANT FOR KENMARE

Kenmare News: Engineer Gull
lum Of the Dayton. Ohio, Brick and
Machinery Co., was here Wednesday
of last week and met with a num-
Der of the business men of the city
at the city hall. The object Of this
meeting was to show to our citizens
what could be done with the clay
from the Peoples Coal Co. mine
north of the city. Some time ago
clay was taken from the mine and
its quality Tasted for making brick,
and tile. Mr.. Cullum brought sew
eral samples OF the product after
it had been shaped and burned and
the specimens of brick, tile, etc.,
were perfect and showed that there
is clay of the proper qualities to
make the best of brick and tile in
wanted was to show what could pc
done with the clay. and ask that he
have the good will of our citizens.
The Peoples: Coal Co. have con-
tracted with the Dayton Brick and
Machinery Co. to erect their plant
here. and the machinery is already
here. Mr.. Cullum states that
within three weeks after the frost
is out of the ground that they will
start making brick with which to
erect building to house the plant
and just as soon as this work is
finished they will begin making
brick and tile for the trade. The
clay will be taken from about lao,
feet under the surface of the
ground and will be raised through
another shaft which will be sunk.
This clay deposit lays just over the
coal and there is an. immense
amounr.of it. When the plant is
in working condition the capacity
will be about 10000 brick per day.
This industry will mean great
deal. for this city, as it will give
employment to great many men
and also furnish this vicinity with
brick and tile at low cost for
building purposes. The Peoples
Coal Co. own over GAO acres of land
in this vicinity and have good de-
posits of Ignite coal. Mr.. Lyness
of Fessenden was also here and
attended the meeting.

DISCOVERS
NEST Of THIEVES

Another nest of thieves was
rounded up the latter part Of last
week by Sheriff Drinkwater with
the assistance Of Deputy Sheriff
Walstead Of Kenmare, and as re-
suit many stolen articles will be
restored to their owners, and the
criminals will be given their just
dues in the district court of Ward
county.
What started the investigation
was load of wheat which had been
shoveled onto the ground in the
road about mile west of Niobe,
and left there. This was in Burke
county, and at first it was thought
that some farmer had broken down
while going to town and left the
grain there. expecting to come back
with another rig later to haul it to
its destination. Two days had
passed and no one came to claim
the grain, SO Sheriff Drinkwater
was notified After a little in
vestigation he employed Nels Nell
son to haul the grain to an eleva-
tor at Niobe and store it in the
sheriif's name. The sheriff then
spent a day or two in an endeavor
to learn who the wheat belonged to,
who had lost any grain. He. how
tance east of Niobe in Ward county,
who had lost two loads of grain.
Sheriff Drinkwater then called Dep
uty Sheriff Walstead Of Kenmare to
assist him. and in short time ran
onto two boys living on the Mogren
place near Niobe who had about
everything imaginable in their pos
session. One of the boys gave his
name as Geo. Larson, and admitted
having stolen all the property
found in their possession, and he
was taken in custody. Larson is a
young man about 21 years old. The
other fellow refused to admit hav-
other fellow who gave his name as
Isidore Mogren, refused to admit
having anything to do with the
thefts. and he was not arrested at
that time. but was taken in custody
the following day.
Among the stolen articles found
on the place were some guns, a
large amount of ammunition and 9TH
er goods stolen from a hardware
store at Kenaston last fall. two sets
of stolen harness, a bob sleigh
which had been stolen from Chas.
Wallace Of Dmond township, and
which had been used in hauling the
last load of wheat when it broke
down, violin stolen from r. M.
Woods of Kenmare, and many 9TH
-er articles stolen Trom various
vlaces. All the buildings ON the
place had some wheat in them, and
the chances are that at least. a part
of this was stolen from different
places during the winter.
About three weeks ago l.. N.
Peterson the Coteau general mer-
chant lost about 500 pounds Of -four
from a building across the street
from his store. and the officials
here are now trying to connect up
Larson with this theft

burned last year
In our old Dakota home far away"

ten minutes in the second barrel,
keeping the water constantly at
129 degrees F., as nearly as pos
sible. Move the seed from one
side of the sack to the other to en-
able uniform heating At the end
of ten minutes remove the seed
from the water and spread immed-
lately in layer ABOUT two inches
deep to dry. Stir the treated seed
occasionally to hasten drying. -
Treated grain can be sown as
soon as dry enough to run freely
through the drill. Owing to the
swollen condition of the kernels
the drill should be open inside
enough to sow the proper amount of
seed to the acre. Several demon
strators found it convenient to use
the oat side of the drill. The seed
may be treated any length of time
before seeding. Testing the seed
for termination affords a chance to
increase the rate of seeding if ger
mination is low.

COLUMBUS BOOZE
VENDER SENTENCED

a. The first arrest made in Burke
county since the federal bone dry
constitutional amendment went into
effect was made on Friday of last
week when Tom jacobson, a young
man. about 26 years old, married
and the father of one child, was
taken in custody on the charge of
selling whiskey at Columbus. Mr..
Jacobson had been working at the
H. H. Roe store at Columbus for
some months past, and was charged
with assisting in the sale of whis-
key which was brought down from
Estevan, Sask. On being brought
before Justice Schmidt here Mr.. ia
cObson waived examination, and
said he was willing to enter a plea
of guilty and. take his medicine.
He was taken before Judge Leigh
ton at Minot the following day
where his plea of guilty was ac-
cepted. and he was given six months
in the county jail. This sentence
was suspended on good behavior
after the court had learned that
the prisoners wife was i'll and
there was little hope for her recov-
cry. -
1t is learned thav some Canadians
were in the habit Of hauling sew
eral cases of whiskey from Estevan
to- Columbus at the same time as
the grain teams came down from
Canada last fall. and would take or.
ders for the liquor until it was all
sold, but would not make any de-
liveries until the last bottle had
been disposed of. They would
then make all the deliveries in the
shortest time possible. and get back
across the international boundary.
The whiskey was said to be of a
high grade, and sold in Columbus
for only $500 quart. 1t is said
that. Mr., Jacobson assisted these
Canadians in disposing of their
whiskey, and was arrested on ac>
count Of this. Warrants are out
for the Canadians. and the next
time they arrive at Columbus they
will be promptly taken in custody.
Jay HUXLEY, an unmarried man
about rs years old. who during the
past few months had been employ
ed in a pool hall at Columbus, was
taken in custody last Monday, also
charged with violating the liquor
laws of the state. When brought
before Justice Schmidt he waived
examination. and said he wanted
to stand trial. His bonds were
placed at $500, and these were fur
nished by his employer Tuesday.
He was released from custody Tues
day night, and will have his trial
at the next term Of district court
here.

BURKE COUNTY TO !.
HAVE SCHOOL NURSE.

Burke county will soon have a
nurse employed by the county,, who
will look after the health Of the
school children here. Arrange
ments are now being made for the
securing of the right kind of Il
nurse, and as soon as one is found
she will be employed. At the last
session of the county board a petit
ton signed by a majority of the
school officers OF the county was
presented to the board by County
Superintendent C. H. Hecht request
ing that such nurse be employed
in Burke county. and under the law
it was mandatory On the board to
comply with the request. We learn
that in most cases these nurses are
employed on the recommendation
of the Red Cross officials, who keep
in, touch at all times with the most
competent nurses III the country,
and that it will be but short time
before someone is sent here to look
after tho health of the school chill
dren of the county.

STATE COULD MAKE:
PAPER Of STRAW

Williston, N. D., Feb. 19.-T. E.
Falgner is an old hand at the pa
per making business. He says that
he thought the state of North Da-
kota should get busy and build a
paper mill equipped to make paper
out Of straw.
In speaking Of the paper and the
difficulties Of making good paper
out of straw Mr.. Falkner said that
he had years Of experience in the
work and that good paper could be
made, from our wheat straw by
adding little fax straw which
would give us the long fibre and
thereby strengthen the paper.
To make practical the handling
of the straw he suggested that the
state could have small plants at
various towns throughout the state
where the straw would be reduced
to pulp and then shipped to the
mill to be made into paper. If
there ever was a time in the his
tory Of the country when such a
mill was needed it is now and it is
to be hoped that some move will be
made along this line. Papers over
the country are suspending publ
cation because they can't get print
paper or because the price has be-
come SO high that -ney could not
afford to keep running and such
conditions would be relieved If we
had paper mill.

REGISTERING WITH

-
Very soon now the assessor will
on his rounds and as part of his
business ask the farmers to which
political party they belong. Most
&of them know that tho they belong
to the league they cannot register
as Non-Partisan. as such party
does not exist. There are ballots
that are No-party. That is the
kind you vote for judges and school
officers upon. This year for the
first time the county officers will
also be on a No-party ballot. You
will vote for a sheriff not because
he is republican or a democrat,
but because you want him for Of
flee. Ia &sT :. u 81: ..>> .5#..5i..s,
In state politics the league has
no standing as political party.
BE sure and remember this when
you tell the assessor to what party
you belong:-if you say only that
YOU are Non-Partisan you will
lose your vote. as you will find only
republican and democratic ballots.
So be sure and register according to
your party, and not according to
your organization Ss:s S.: sri

OF
MATERNAL FEEDING

The breast fed child has ten
chances to one of the bottle fed
baby Of living through the first
year. In all investigation carried
on by DR.. Herman Schwartz at Bal
timore, it was found that out Of
1901 cases there we're only 10
mothers who were not able to nurse
their babies at all. There is no
such thing as an entire absence Of
mammary secretion. Failure to
nurse the baby is usually due to lack
of persistence on the part of the
mother or weakness on the part Of
the infant. The situation in the
latter case may be relieved by put
ting strong lfealthg baby at breast
a few times to start the flow of
milk. Maternal feeding should be
the keynote to education in infant
welfare. Extension Div. N. d.

back with a~stronger hope of win
ming, but was unable to accomplish
their objective, the game ending
with the score to g.. Much credit
it due the home girls team for the
great improvement they have made
