A very severe windstorm struck
Blackville Tuesday afternoon of last
week, completely demolishing, it is
said, the Episcopal church. The
home of Dr.. Reynolds, which is an
old landmark, was blown down. The
roof was blown from a large barn,
and several trees were uprooted.
The Bamberg Potato Curing house
during the past season cured about
$500 bushels of sweet potatoes, most
ly yellow potatoes. The capacity of
the potato house is 10000 bushels.
and many more could he cured by
removing after curing. The farmers
are being urged by the leading far
mers to plant more sweet potatoes
this year, and use the opportunity
they have of properly curing the tu-
bers for market at such times as the
market is favorable.
Mrs. J. P. HERS has just pulled
from her yard a sunflower plant,
which had some remarkable features
about it. The sunfower was in full
bloom on Christmas day, although it
was in no way protected from the
weather, and the plant died not from
frost, but plain old age. Mrs. HERS
has now in her front yard a tobacco
plant which is surviving it's second
season. The plant lived through the
winter, and is now in bloom for the
second year. This shows to some ex-
tent the mildness of the past winter.
The athletic life of Carlisle school
has recently been enhanced by the
preparation of two tennis courts to
the south of Brabham hall. The boys
have been working on the courts for
several days, and this vacant lot has
been utilized to great benefit to the
athletic activities Of the school. When
one court was com Jie.cd, it proved
so popular with III. boys t'la. another
had to be fixed UP so that more Of the
boys could play tennis. The boys are
now practicing vallantly with an idea
of entering into some contests with
other schools.

REPEAT "PINAFORE" FRIDAY
NIGHT, MARCH 1S.

Due to the fact that the hall was
too small to hold the crowd that came
to see Pinafore last Friday night, and
also as a courtesy to the Carlisle stu
dents who were unable to attend be-
cause Of examinations, the Apollo
Music club has decided to repeat the
performance next Friday night, Mar.
18th. A special effort will be made
to make every one comfortable, and
a good show is promised.
AS one who appreciated very high
ly the performance of the Apollo Mu-
sic club last Friday night, I wish to
express publicly this appreciation. 1t
is privilege to testify to the splen-
did character of this performance on
the part of our own people. | am in
formed that it will be repeated on
Friday evening of this week for the
benefit of the many who could not get
in the hall on last Friday night; and
l wish to commend it to those who
have not already enjoyed it, as an
entertainment we'll worth their time
and money many times over.
S. o. CANTEY.
Every one has been loud in their
praise Of "Pinafore." 1t was indeed
witnessed by the biggest audience ev-
er assembled in Bamberg. l enjoy
ed the entertainment so much last
Friday night that methinks I'll be
on hand at the repeat performance.

The Tariff or Farm Products,

The farmer has a perfect OBJ.
ject lesson that a tariff on what
he raises cannot increase the
price. The Republican Com
gress, as soon as it was called in
extra session by President Hard
ing, framed and pdt through a
bill known as the Fordney emer-
gency tariff measure. The Re-
publican Congressman claimed
that agriculture was suffering in
the United States because in was
not protected by a duty which
would prevent farm products
from being shipped into the
United States.
AS soon as the Fordney meas
ure became law the Republi-
cans proclaimed from the house.
tops that the first act of the
Harding Administration was to
give relief to the farmer. Wheat
and cattle were two things, es-
pecially it was claimed, would
advance in price as soon as the
importotion of these things were
stopped by a tariff levied on
them. When the Fordney bill
went into effect wheat was SELL
ing around 81 40 a bushel. The
Fordney act has been in effect
now about five months and in
stead of wheat advancing it has
gone down from 81. 40 bushel
to SO cents a bushel and cattle
have declined equally as much in
price since they were included
in the foreign tariff. This is an
object lesson, which should open
the eyes of all farmers to the
absurd claim that farm products
can be increased in price by a
tariff duty.-E. Town News.

FIND SKELETON OF WAR
VETERAN NEAR WASHBURN

Washburn, N. D., Jan. "a. The
body Of Arthur Herred, world war
veteran, missing since last March,
was found in the brush along the bot
toms Of the Missouri river near here.
The finding Of the body ends a long
search instituted by the father, Nels
Herred, and friends, following the
disappearance Of the boy.
During the war Herred suffered gas
and other wounds. He left home
one evening last March. No word
was heard of him. until the finding
Of the body Last summer, when the
body of a man was found in the Can
non Ball river, the parents thought
perhaps is was Herred, but it proved
to be another person. The theory
had been held that he fell through
the river ice and was carried away.
The skeleton Of the war veteran
was found face down, one glove and
his cap gone. The theory is advanc-
ed here that he lost himself in the
brush trying to reach the railroad at
Hensler across the river from Wash
burn, became exhausted and froze to
death.
A check book and letters identified
him. Herred had been married about
one month when he disappeared.
Funeral services will be held in
Washburn and military tribute will be
paid by the American Legion.

FARM ACCOUNT SCHOOL
AT MNOT, FEB. II
BERTHOLD, FEB. II

The Farm School will be conducted
by Rex E. Willard, Farm Economist
from the Extension Department and
in cooperation with the Farm Bureau
Management Department of Agricul-
tural College.
Most every farmer is compelled to
make an income tax return. The
purpose of this school is to give in
struction on making out the income
tax return.
There has been good deal Of agi-
tation in regard to what price the
farmer should receive for his pro-
ducts and good many economists
state that the farmer should receive
at least the cost Of production. How
ever, if a farmer does not know
what it costs to produce, he is in no
position to demand that price.
These schools will enable the farm
er to keep a record and know what
it costs him to produce his crop, also
to know the income from his stock
and if stock on the farm is not max
ing profit the farmer should know
it and get rid Of them. There is only
one way to detect inefficiency on the
farm, and that is in keeping an ac-
curate set of books which will enable
the farmer to know where his over
head expenses are running too high.
1t costs about $175 to keep the aver
age working horse year, and the
horse works approximately eighty
days per working year. A little
studying and planning may increase
the amount of productive work with
out additional cost and enable the
farmer to make better use Of his horse
labor and man labor.
The meeting at Minot will be held
in the Association of Commerce rooms
starting at 1890 o'clock in the morn
ing. The farmers should bring a
pencil and be prepared to stay all day.
The meeting at Berthold will be held
in the town hall. Remember the date
and time of the meeting.
