FARM HOME
BURNS TO GROUND

The farm home of Valentine Potter
a. farmer living about nine miles north
of the city was burned to the ground
yesterday afternoon. 1t seems that
Mrs. Potter was just putting the child
rem to bed for their regular afternoon
nap and upon coming down stairs no.
ticed smoke in the kitchen. This did
not alarm her at once due to the fact
that she was used to seeing smoke in
the kitchen from the stove. Going
further into the kitchen she noticed a
cloud of smoke rolling out Of the pan
try and when the door was opened the
flames leaped out at her but very for
tunately she escaped injuries and
rescued her children before the fire
spread to the stairway.
A brother Of Mr.. Potter had just
driven up in the yard but not until it
was too late to enter the burning
house which was burned to the bround
According to Mr.. Potter he was un-
able to save one article. This is a
very unfortunate thing to happen to a
farmer now that wheat is selling at a
dollar bushel. Many bushels of po
tatoes which were in the basement are
also said to have been lost. 1t is not
known whether the building was COW
cred bY insurance. Although the
fire is unknown the general theory is
that mice set off matches which were
in the pantry.

N0NPARTlSANS TO
HOLD CONVENTION

The nonpartisan league leaders will
hold convention, probably this
month, to decide upon future course,
according to A. II. Liederbach, state
chairman, who visited the state cap
ito here.
"We probably will have a conven-
tion this month, very likely in Far
CO." said Liederbach. eve will call
in delegates and lay important mat
ters before them"
Mr.. Liederbach did not think that
the league convention which, accord
ing to the Courier-News, would be
held in February, after A. C. Townley
has been completed his incarceration,
will be delayed until that time.
The new administration will not be
entirely free from attack Mr. Lied
erbach said that 1--WE will continue
with the fight as if nothing had
happened" and added that the new
administration would be expected to
keep it's campaign promises, but he
said he didn't place any great con-
fdence in the hope that the admin
istration would succeed in carrying
out the league platform.
Over-confdence upon the part of
leaguers was declared responsible for
the defeat by Mr.. Liederbach. He de-
clared that 10000 leaguers had not
gone to the polls while all of the op-
position vote had got out.
The Courier-News will be contin-
ued, Mr. Liederbach said. The Pub
fishers National Service Bureau, he
said, has been liquidating for months
and is still doing 50.
He expressed the belief that there
would be no contest of the election,
view generally accepted at the cap
itol
"We feel that as long as our peo-
pie have spoken and didn't come out
we should stand by the result" he
said "Our people didn't come out
and do their duty, and the others did
get out"
Mr.. Liederbach, who was quoted be-
fore the election as saying that he
would spend the winter in California
said he was uncertain whether he
could get away.

Bismarck where the local boys will
clash with the Bismarck High School
team. Bismarck has one of the strong
est teams in the southwest district,

Moure, one of the biggest and strong
est teams in the southeast district, has
challenged the local boys and they

looking about for other worlds to con-
uuer. Their last game was with En-
derlin and they sent that team down to
defeat by the overwhelming score of
IS to 0. Local football fans will be
given a real treat when Valley High

SHEPHERD ASKS
WHY EASTEER

A steer is a steer to most people
but not so to Prof. J. H. Shepperd, an
imal husbandman at the North Da-
kota Agricultural Experiment Station
A steer, to Prof. Shepherd, is loafer,
worker, fletcherizer or a food bolt
er. The basis upon which Mr.. Shep-
perd classifies steer will be fully
illustrated in the educational exhibit
being prepared by the station for the
Grain and Hay show to be held in con-
nection with the International Live
stock Exposition in Chicago, Nov. 26
to Dec 3.
A glance at the educational exhibit
also will serve to clear up a mystery
that has enlivened gossip at both
Fargo and Mandan since last summer,
when on sundry days man could be
seen in the experiment station pas
lures, pointing at a cud-cheWing
steer, jabbing pencil at him in exact
cadence with the steers jaw wags,
and scribbling notes in note book
every time the steer paused to swal-
low. This man was entirely sane, it
now appears, and simply was "get-
ting the evidence" on the steer. The
evidence on some of the station steers
will be published to the world in the
exhibit at the International. For in
stance, above the picture of one steer
will be this label:
"This steer is a fetcherizer," with
the further information that the steer
chews 40 times on his cud before he
swallows it. Another steer is labeled
"food bolter" because he gives but
80 "jaw wags" before he swallows the
bolus. The "worker" made exactly
81 jaw wags per bolus for % consecu-
tive times, with the rapid cadence OF
72k wags per minute. The trif1er
ruminated only half the time which
cattle nature has allotted him for his
cud-chewing process.
The steer also is systematic beast:
Prof. Shepperd says. as he grazes
about eight hours, ruminates or
chews his cud eight hours, and sleeps
or loafs about eight hours.
The entire exhibit is built around
the pasture experiment work at the
Northwest Great Plains Field station
at Mandan. conducted comparatively
by the North Dakota Experiment sta
ton and the office Of dry land agricul-
ture, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. It is intended to show that
North Dakota can produce the native
pasture to grow livestock and the
roughage and grain to finish the stock
for the best market.

WHAT OUR SCHOOL
MUSEUM IS DOING

The most important feature of the
school museum in the State Teachers
College is supplying the student teach
ers with more illustrative material to
be used in the classroom. This makes
the class recitation more interesting
and also more beneficial to the pupils.
The school museum has an especial
ly fine exhibit of corals, birds eggs,
and sponges. The coral exhibit is
especially fine and cannot be dupli
Gated in any other but large museums.
There is very good bird display.
There are about seventy-fve mounted
specimens, nearly all of which are
found in North Dakota. There are
also exhibits on Japan, the Philippine
Islands, and of the Indians. These in
dustral exhibits are practically all
gifts from industrial firms, or are
made up by the curators.
There is a large collection of post
cards, numbering forty thousand,
about fifteen hundred mounted pic
lures and many unmounted pictures.
These pictures are in use daily both
in the College and in the Training
School classes. The collection of post
cards, mounted and unmounted pic
lures, are of great geographical and
industrial value. These pictures are
inexpensive. They are gotten largely
through magazines and picture COM
panies, the price being one and two
cents apiece.
Another main object of the museum
is not only the furnishing of material
to the student teachers and faculty.
but it is hoped that the student teach
ers will have become so accustomed
to using this material that they will
begin collections in their own schools.
This will eventually lead to small
school museums.
There are three general methods in
which the museum material is used:
in the classroom, in the lecture room
with the projection, and in the mus
cum visit. :.
Just at present the curators in the
school museum are busy catalogirg
the stone collection. The school mu-
scum is one of the few school museums
of it's kind in the United States. 1t
is said to be the only one doing just
the kind of work described above

INTRASTATECUT
ON GRAIN RATES

Charging that railroads operating
in North Dakota, claiming to act un-
der the authority of the interstate
commerce commission, increased their
freight rates on grain, hay and grain
prducts in proportion to the rate in
creases granted for interstate traffic
on these products on May 3, reduc-
tion of intrastate rates proportionate
to the reduction ordered on inter-
state rates effective Nov. 20, was ask
ed in brief filed with the interstate
commerce commission today by the
North Dakota Board of Railway COM
missoners together with the boards
of Kansas, Nevada, and Arizona.
North Dakota woold save approx
mately 100000 annually if the intra-
state. reduction were made in the
opinion Of V. E. Smart, rate officer of
the state railroad commissioner, ac-
cording to a telegram to the Forum
from Bismarck this morning. Mr..
Smart also said that after the United
States district court had issued an in
junction against making changes in
existing schedules, John Beckman
geneneral solicitor for the national as
ISOLATION OF utility commissioners, was
asked to ascertain from the interstate
comm4rce commission, how far the
power Of state commissions extends.
Mr.. Smart presumed the order of the
commission resulted from the inquiry
According to the paper filed with
the interstate commerce commission
by the board Of railroad commission
ers of North Dakota, the carriers
claiming to act under the interstate
commerce commission order advanc-
ing rates as of July 29, 1920, "have
advanced all rates applicable to tbs
transportion of grain, grain pro-
duets and hay in intrastate commerce
in North Dakota by the percentages
indicated in said order" The order
charges that discrimination against
intrastate commerce will be practiced
if intrastate rates are not reduced at
the same time and in the same pro-
portion as intrastate rates.

SUCCESSFUL MEET
INCLAST NIGHT

The annual banquet of the Barnes
County Live Stock Association at the
Rudolf Hotel last night, at which
time the bankers Of the county were
there to talk finance, was the most
successful meeting of the association
held in the city. There were from 125
to $50 present at this gathering and
there were so many good speeches that
it was pretty nearly two o'clock this
morning before the last talk was over.
Orchestra music was furnished by
Mrs. w. B. Clark and Miss Larson
during the progress of the banquet,
while Prof. J. B. Meyer was the lead
er of song. After the very fine BAN
quet had been served the program was
taken up. The regular program was
as follows:
Production of Pork in North Dakota
Frank Sanford.
Future of the Hog Industry-Prof j.
H. Sheppard. Agricultural College:
Farm Dairyman-J. w. Haw, Agricul-
tural College.
Functions of Live Stock Associations
Anton Christ, Leal.
War Finance Corporation - M. o.
Grangaard, Minneapolis.
Use of War Finance Funds-John
Tracy, Valley City.
In addition to the regular program
very good talks were given by Wesley
Mcdowell, Marion; Barron, of Minot;
Default and Nierling, of jamestown;
Farley of Valley City, and others, all
of them of much merit and touching
on those matters that are now inter-
esting the farmer and the business
man. The bankers dwelt largely on
the financial situation and the needs
for getting money into the state to
relieve farmers who had lost out
farming the past year or two. 1t
was the opinion of the bankers that
money could be secured from the War
Corporation for those farmers whose
credit was good and the banks will no
doubt make application to this corpor-
alton for money. Mr.. Grangaard ex-
blamed how this could be done and
that millions were available for that
purpose. V. E. Grant, of Cuba, act
ed as toastmaster. The gathering was
a splendid one and created better and
more optimistic feeling all around.
