STREDWICk HAS PLAN
FOR CORN JUDGING
Says That Corn Grown in Gardens
Should Not Be Pitted Against That
of the Larger Fields.

Alf. Stredwick, old time stocklnan
and farmer from down uh eriver, was
here attending the breeders meeting
Wednesday. Mr.. St1edwich is a sue
cessful corn grower, having raised
cor neach year for the past eighteen
years. He believes that the last corn
show taught valuable lesson and he
suggests that the fairest way of judg-
ing corn is for a cash prize of say
500 be offered for the largest and
best field of corn in the valley and on
the prairie. Mr.. Stredwick owns a
farm in the valley and one on the
prairie and he says that it is not fair
to place the valley corn and that
grown on the prairie in the same class.
He has always been able to grow bet
ter corn in the valley. He thinks it is
not fair to put corn that maye have
been cultivated in garden up against
that grown in field. One year he
says he raised few rows of corn in
his garden, took particular care Of it
and in the fall walked away with most
of the prizes at the corn show. Mr..
Stredwick says that the county agri-
cultural agent could attend to the
judging of the fields while he is out
on his regular rounds in the county.
Mr.. Stredwick says that the same
scheme might be worked with pota-
toes.

Enthusiastic Stock Breeder Attends
Meeting.

Ole Oen, who is regarded as one Of
the top notch farmers of Ward county,
was in the city Wednesday attending
the big stock breeders meeting. Mr..
Oen has lived eat his present farm
home for the past "a years, settling
there in 1886 and he has built up one
of the finest farm homes in Ward
county. Mr.. Oen has a section of land,
an immense grove of beautiful trees,
the entire place extra well fenced, a
great big fine modern farm residence,
large barn, but he says he is getting
old and intends to sell one of these
days. He lis holding the farm at $100
am acre, which is cheap, considering
that it is but six miles from Minot.
He was offered $50 an acre last sum-
mer but efused the offer. Mr.. Oen
raised 33 acres of splendid corn last
season, getting 100 large loads. His
wheat averaged from 8 to IL bushels,
the best yield being secured on corn
land. He has tried summer fallowing
and growing corn for eyars and finds
that he can raise much better wheat
ON the corn land. Mr.. Oen has raised
rs head of pure bred Shorthorn cat
tie and is much interested in the
breeders association which he consid-
ers mighty valuable thing for the
farmer and stockman. The farmer
has been staying at home too closely,
Mr.. Oen says. He gets lonesome and
is apt to become too narrow unless
there is something like an association
of this kind to broaden him out. The
association will help the members in
marketing their stock and in securing
individuals. They hope to hold q
county fair and naturally this always
proves an incentive for one farmer
to strive to get stock that is just a lit
tie bit ahead Of that owned by his
neighbor, which is q good thing.

Prokop thought the great state Of
North Dakota would compensate him.
But he was mistaken. He asked help
of friends, who got his case before the
workmen's compensation bureau. His
claim was denied because, it was said,
he was n casual laborer. He be-

Tor a long time negotiations have
been carried or. A local lawyer, who
refused any compensation for his
services, interceded in behalf Of the
Bohemian, who, he says, is in a diff
cult position because of his large
family. The lawyer plans to ask the
legislature to make an appropriation
for the old man, in an effort to gain
for him. the compensation he feels
he deserves.
The state cannot be sued for dam

a blizzard. The wind was blowing
snow and it was difficult for the Bo-
hemian to see ahead. He says he
looked both ways when he approached
the street car track. and he saw no
car. The track at the Fourth street
crossing was higher than the street.

GRATEFUL FARMER A
 BOOSTER FOR BANK.
Loses No Opportunity to Win II New
 Depositors.

''In a line of business where aggres- sive methods of winning customers are rather the exception than the rule, we have proved to our own sat isfaction that push is just as profit able as it is anywhere else," says C. o. Carpenter, of the Bank of Jones' boro, Ark, in the March number of "System,'' the magazine of business.
 While I have been writing this ar ticle," he says, "a farmer dropped in to tell me that several men from Kentucky have purchased farms in his neighborhood and moved in re- gently.
 +'+I got one of them fellows started with the Bank of Jonesboro already, he assures me- You want to come out right soon and help me convert the rest of them. And, say you ought to see them red cows now. They're sure f1ne.'
 ''The red cows to which this boost CT referred were part of a shipment which the bank brought in; helped him select them, anG we lent him the money.
 'tHe is paying us back in two ways, now that his loan is being cleared off the books; he is carrying a bigger ac- count each year; and he is missing no opportunity to pass along the word . that the Bank of Jonesboro is the best friend that the farmer has.
 '"To use his own phrase, he 'con- verts a good many people in the course of year; and he sells them so thoroughly on our virtues that they go on spreading the good news as in dustriously as he does"

LYRIC

Beginning with the matinee today the Poli players expect to be in their element during the series of presen- tations of that highly humorous farce comedy Our Little Wife" which is the attraction at the Lyric theatre this week. The production is one of the funniest on record and bids fair to play to capacity houses throughout the week.
 Mary Ann Dentler as "Our Little Wife is particularly well cast for the role. Arthur Chatterdon will be seen in a part distinctly different from anything he has ever played and other members of the cast will be seen to the best advantage. "Our Little Wife" tells the story of a pretty and vivacious matron who loves her every male with whom she comes in contact She even fIirts with her husband to such an extent that he withdraws his suit for divorce after he finds her flirting with the lawyer he has retained to prosecute his case.
 There are many Imaginable situa- ti0ns and the dialogue is bright and snappy. The second act is perhaps the best of all showing one of the usual bach elor apartments with many doors and at least as many women. There is also the versatile and witty waiter
 who knows a lot of things but refus- es to tell what he knows unless he is paid for it. All in all the play is one that everyone should see and 1 contains nothing that would offend the most sensitive.

OLD JAFF,REY HOUSE.
 WILL BE PRESERVED.

Happy is the lot of those old American houses that are preserved in whole or in part by being removed from an environment no longer suit ed to their former residential dignity and made part of a permanent mu- scum. The latest case is that of the old Jaffrey House that has long stood in Portsmouth, N. H., and has now been purchased by the Boston Mu- scum of Fine Arts.
 The old house was built about 1750, coming between the rather rough simplicity of early colonial building and the more ornate deco ration of the early nineteenth cen tury. It is the interior of the house, that interests the management of the museum, for the ancient paneling and woodwork, reassem mbled after it's jour ney from Portsmouth, will provide a Ireal colonial room to contain articles of the same period already in the museums possession. One can imagine the satisfaction that those who once knew and loved the old room as home would take in the thought of such a future for it. Christian Science Monitor,
