ICE CREAM MAKES GOOD
WINTER FOOD SAYS DICE

Don't quit eating ice cream now,
even if the cool weather does turn
ones mind toward overcoats and coal
bills.
This is the advice of J. r. Dice, pro-
fessor of dairying at the North Da-
kota Agricultural College.
"Now that the summer days are
over, continue to eat ice cream" ad-
vises Mr.. Dice. ut is food and
should be used as such. 1t should
not be considered as a treat for Sun
days and hot days, becauseFas an es-
sential food it ranks with beefsteak,
milk, eggs, butter and other staple
articles of diet
"Authorities tell US that ice cream
is rich in that essential vitamine which
makes the difference between strong,
healthy individual and a weak, worm
out one. This vitamine is necessary
for the growth and development Of
children and for the health and vigor
Of adults. Ice cream is a standard
food for the sick and for those re-
covering from illness. 1t is good
health insurance. :,
Zone quart of ice cream is equal
in energy value to:
40 3/4 lbs of tomatoes, or
ia lbs. of peas, or
IA eggs, or
Ia lbs. of beefsteak, or
3/4 lbs. of strawberries, of
lbs. of apples"

TRY SILAGE CROPS FOR
FATTENING STEERS

Fargo, N. D.-Studles to determine
the relative values of beef producing
material of four different silage mate
rials, will be made this winter at the
North Dakota Agricultural Expert
ment Station. This study is made
possible by the erection this sum
mer of four new ,silos, each with a
capacity Of 25 tons.
Corn, the most common ensilage ma.
terial, was used to fill one of the silos.
Sunfowers, used as silo filler in Can
ada and the northermost edge of the
United States, where the growing sea.
son is sometimes too short for corn
to mature, is being tried in another
Of the silos. Sweet clover, crop
that is grown extensively in sections
of North Dakota, was put in the third
silo, while millet, late growing crop
and one that for that reason may make
a good yield where early dry weather
cuts earlier growing crops, has been
placed in the fourth silo.
Groups of five steers will be fed the
ensilage from each silo, beginning
early in November. The silage will
provide feed for feeding period
of four months or more. Gains made
at stated times by the lots on the
different silage materials will be re-.
corded. Prof. F. w. Christensen, in
charge of animal nutrition work at the
station, will conduct the feeding ex-
periments.

North Dakota Thrift

There are quite q number of thrifty
farmers, while feeling the effects Of
the period Of short crops, manage to
get along and make. living even
in the poorest years, always getting
ahead in the long run by remaining
right on the job to get the sweet with
the bitter. Mr.. and Mrs. Christ Lin
nertz, young couple residing north
west of Minot are excellent examples
of North Dakota thrift. What grain
they raised is carefully stacked. They
have laid in an abundance Of feed for
their stock and have their cows, hogs
and chickens. They grew a big gar
den too. II canned 200 quarts Of
vegetables during the summer" Mrs.
Linnertz says, "and fifty dollars will
buy all Of our groceries during the
coming winter"

How People Pick Their Banks

Some few weeks ago there was
printed in the Commercial West an
article under the above caption. A
Minneapolis banker writes to the
Commercial West that the experience
of his own institution is very much
like that outlined by the writer Of the
article, and states that recently CEN
sus of the reasons which induced $500
persons to open new accounts resulted
in the following findings: 700 open
ed accounts at the banks because Of
recommendation made by other de-
positors; $40 because they at one time
or another had been depositor Of
the bank or knew a depositor; 900
was the result Of school saving indus
trial and school savings plans; so
were attracted to the bank through
the knowledge that Liberty bonds
were kept for depositors free of
charge and strange to say, only five
stated that they came because at
tracted by newspaper advertising and
70 gave miscellaneous reasons, such
as knowing employees of the bank or
because of business relations with the
bank or because the bank was open
on nights which gave them an oppor-
tunity to do business with it and make
DEPOSITS.

N0NPAR TISANS MAY ATTACK RECALL
ELECTION SET FOR OCT. q ON CHARGE
OF FRAUD, LACK OF PAMPHLET FUNDS

filed, could be used in making any
corrections deemed necessary. Be
cause of the big margin of signatures
on the petition for the recall election
the Independents feel confident they
are above court attack. An even
greater margin is contained in the
petitions for the initiated laws and
the constitutional amendments.
Under the law the officers who are
recalled at recall election serve
until the result of the special election
shall be made known through meet
ing Of the state canvassing board.
Why the New Date
The original intention was to file
the petitions next Monday, but these
plans were changed at the recent con-
ference Of !. V. A. at Fargo. In the
letter to the secretary Of state, Theo.
G. Nelson, on behalf of the joint cam
paign committee, asks that the date
for the election be set as Friday, Oct.
%, and explains the reasons for this
request. The letter follows:
1--WE are today, Sept. Is, filing in
your office petitions asking for the re-
call Of Governor Lynn j. Frazier, At
torney General William Lemke, and
Commissioner of Agriculture and La
Dor John N. Hagan and respectfully
ask that you call an election to deter
mine the matter Of the recall of these
officials as provided for in the constl-
tuition of North Dakota
"In connection with the filing OF
these petitions, this committee re-
spectfully suggests and requests that
the recall election be called to be
held on Friday, Oct. % for the fol-
lowing reasons: In this recall cleo
tion campaign, the principal questions
involved are whether or not public
officials shall be required to render
honest public service and not be per-
mitted to appropriate public property
for their personal gain. These are
fundamental principles of public gov
ernment and civilization, itself. 1t is,
therefore, proper and very important
that the citizens of all occupations
should have an opportunity, if pos
sible, to express themselves at the
polls. Large numbers of the voters
of North Dakota have duties that re-
uuire their absence from their homes
during the greater part of each week,
and particularly during the first days
of each week. BY having the elec.
tion on Friday a great many railroad
men, teachers, travelling men and
others can be at home to cast their
ballot some time before the polls close
that night and have ample time to be
back to their RESPECTIVE places OF duty
by Monday morning.
"We understand that you have au-
thority to call this election for any
day between the 40th and 45th- day fol
lowing the date of the filing of the
petitions. We are filing the recall
petitions now so that you can call the
election on the day requested ano
comply with the law with reference to
length of notice to be given"

ers who are expected to attend the
National Dairy Show at st. Paul, Oc-
tober Sth to 18th, will have an oppor-
tunity to watch the judging contest in

II. f. Killing, state club leader, and
Professor J. r. Rice of the Dairy De-
partment Of the college will accom-.
pany the team on the trip and will

to visit a number of dairy herds
around Grand Forks, Fargo and Moor
head for a period of eight or ten days
before the show.
The State Dairy Association and
the State Holstein Breeders Associa-
tion are paying most of the expense
of sending the lads to the National
Show, while the county commission
ers from the respective counties are
making up the balance.

Martin jacobson Has Splendid Corn

Martin jacobson Has Splendid Corn
Martin Jacobson brot samples of
corn from 13O-acre field grown this
season on his ranch miles west OF
Minot. There are four varieties in
cluding the Northwestern Dents, and
the flints. The ears are great big
specimens, foot long and of a good
size around, with deep kernels and
straight even rows, well filled out to
the tip. They may be seen in the
independents corn collection at this
office. Mr.. jacobson planted the
corn between May 10 and Is and it
is practically all ripe. The yield is
40 or so bushels per acre, he esti-
mates. Land that will produce such
corn ought to be worth as much as
any Minnesota or Iowa soil and will
be of equal value just as soon as we
follow the methods Of the farmers
in those states more generally. Mr..
jacobson says that VIM. Stamn1en, up
the river, has corn equally as good
as his, Mr.. Stammen having a l4O
acre field of corn.
Mr.. jacobson will undoubtedly con-
tribute much to the Ward County Corn
Show in November.
