served as officer of engineers in the

Although the secretariat has beer

SAYS RURAL DAK0TANS
DON'T USE ENOUGH MILK

Major E. S. Person was in charge
of the program at Mondays Rotary
meeting. Two new members, Dick
Mills and Verne Tompkins were pres
ent. The address on Rotary was made
by w. NJ. Smart and Ward Newman
gave instruction in Rotary.
Danl Willard, old time state geolo-
gist, who is spending the week in
Ward county assisting County Agent
German with the campaign for menl-
bership for the Farm Bureau, was a
guest. Mr.. Willard spoke Of visiting
Mniot in the early days. He pre-
dicted then that this was going to be
great agricultural empire but said
the old cattlemen looked wise and I'M
believing.
Mr.. Mcmahon, of the state agricul-
tural college, gave very valuable talk
on live stock. The reason eastern
land is selling for $500 an acre is be-
cause the eastern farmers have six
head of stock to our one. Everybody
ought to be interested in stock. 1t is
hard to get the older farmers out of
the grain farming rut, but frequently
they can become interested in good
stock thru their children by means of
the boys and girls calf clubs. A
boy or girl who becomes interested in
stock seldom gets into mischief. Poo
pie do not use enough milk, the most
valuable of all foods. A person ought
to use no less than quart of whole
some milk day, in some form, he
said. Particular attention should be
made to see that the milk is free from
tuberculosis. 81 have no idea but
what here in Minot, we have protective
milk laws, which are rigidly enforc-
ed," he said. So many people in some
rural communities do not have an AIDE
quate supply of good milk. In one
town in North Dakota with 619 pop
ulation, survey showed that the peo-
pie were using only little more than
200 quarts of milk day. They get
into the habit of eating meat, bread
and potatoes.

BURGLAR STOLE MONEY
FROM D0EBLER HOME

A bold burglar disturbed the usual
ly quiet neighborhood around Fifth
St. and Fifth Ave. S. E., at ten O'Clock
Saturday night, calling first at the
home Of John Morrell, manager of,
the Northern Produce Co. Mr.. Nor
rell was away at the plant doing some
work. Mrs. Morrell had put the kid
dies to bed and was doing some sewing
when she heard someone try to enter
the basement thru the, window. Fail
ing in this, the fellow walked along
the side Of the house, towards the kit
chen door and stumbled over low
wire fence. He raped on the door
and Mrs. Morrell opened it. He in
'quired the location of the Geo. KEN
per house, which is just across the
way, and when informed, did not ap-
pear to be particularly interested. He
turned and took a step or two, then
turned around and looked at Mrs. Nor
rell who closed the door quickly, lock
ing it. She said the maurauder ap-
peared to be 25 or 80 years old, short
and rather slim, wearing overalls but
no overcoat. The fellow, it has since
been learned, did not visit the Kemper
home at all. Instead he went to the
home of r. j. Doebler, just west of the
Morrell home. The Doebler family
were all at the movies and the burg
lar entered the front door using a
skeleton key. Mr.. Doebler had jus,
finished vanishing the dining room
floor that evening and the fellow
tramped all around the varnish. ruin
ing the job From the appearance of
the tracks he must have worn 8 1/2
sized shoes. The burglar entered the
bedroom and found about six dollars
in Mrs. Doebler's pocketbook which he
took. He also stole an old revolver,
owned by Mr.. Doebler's father 35
years ago, and box of shells kept in
the drawer with it. There was
watch, rings and other jewelry in the
drawer, but the fellow was probably
mot out after jewelry. When he de-
parted, he left the door wide open.
He had used small matches in search
ing the house, throwing them about
the floor. Mr. Doebler notified the
police who did little Sherlock Holmes
work about the premises. Mr.. Doeb-
Ter keeps his trusty shot gun loaded
beside his bed and hopes the fellow
will make him return visit.

HEAD URGES
SUPPORT OF BUREAU
Agricultural College President Says
Farm Bureau is Best for the
County.

The following Letter by DR.. E. F.
Ladd, president Of the North Dakota
Agricultural College, written to a
newspaper editor in Slope county,
gives his estimate of the value of the
Farm Bureau as follows:
Replying to your request through
County Agent Leader Fuller for in
formation as to the character of the
county agent work (the Farm Bureau)
and it's relation to the College and the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture:
"It seems to me that in the organ
ization of the Farm Bureau we have
the greatest instrument for good that
can be established in any community
or in any county The Farm Bureau
and the County Agent work in the
state is absolutely free from all par
tisan politics. 1t is non-political in it's
makeup and character and the organ
ization is for the betterment Of the
condition of agriculture and rural life,
for the production of better crops, bet
ter stock, for better home life and
better opportunities in the home and
above all for better marketing condi-
tions for farm production which is the
biggest problem we have to deal with
at the present time.
Federal Funds Given <
"The U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture has at it's disposal a sum of
money to be used in the several states
through the agricultural college
through it's extension department in
establishing county agents where
there is demand for county agent
work, or for club work among the
boys and girls.
The farm bureau is made up in
each county Of farmers Of the county
together with their wives who may
become members Of the organization
or of an auxiliary. Their purpose is
to determine what the policy and work
of the county agent shall be; to en-
pillow with the sanction of the extern
sion division of the agricultural col
lege county agent to carry on this
work. You will thus see that the Sc
lection of an agent is wholly within
the hands Of the farmers themselves
the college, through the extension de-
partment and the u. S. Department
of Agriculture, bearing a considerable
portion of the expense.
Time Here for Work
1.-The time, / believe, is now most
favorable for the extension Of the
work to aid the farmers in the many
problems they have. In other words
the county agent is the agent of the
farmers to carry out their wishes and
instructions along lines which must
be approved as recognized by the U
Is. Department of Agriculture in order
to secure the federal and state aid.
81 cannot commend too strongly
therefore, the Importance of the de.
velopment Of county agent work and
of the building up Of strong farm
bureau in each county in North Da-
kota. If there is anything that | can
do to aid, shall be most happy tic
render assistance.
Sincerely yours,
"E. F. LADD,
president
