 All personal taxes are due and pay able the city with the first install ment as well as one-half of the real taxes. it was said yesterday. Tax collections under the second install ment. therefore, are not as large as for the first installment
 The delinquent list from the first installment was surprisingly small in view of conditions in city and valley, it was announced yesterday. Col lections for the second instalIment have been less prompt. it was said and to date only about 65 per cent of the taxpayers have responded

MARIE AMELIA POIRIER

It is with deep regret that The
Courant this week chronicles the death
on Monday of Miss Amelia Poirier,
eldest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Poirier. It was not generally known
that Miss Poirier was seriously i'll and
the news Of her death will be great
shock to her friends.
. Miss Poirier was taken to st. An
drews hospital on Thursday suffering
with typhoid-pneumonia and died on
Monday, Jan. II, at A o'clock p. M.
Marie Amelia Poirier was born at
Iron River, Wis, on March 10, 1897
and was almost twenty-four years Of
age at the time Of death. Deceased
came to Bottineau with her parents
iat the age of six months and has al
ways made this place her home ex-
cepting last summer which she spent
at Barstow, California, returning to
Bottineau in November to resume her
studies at the Forestry Normal.
Besides her parents deceased leaves
five brothers and two sisters to mourn
her untimely death.
Funeral services were held this
morning from st. Paul's Catholic
church at Tarsus and the remains laid
to- rest beside those Of her brother Jo-
seph, who proceeded her to the Be
yond four years ago.

DEKovEN CLUB
~ CONCERT PLEASES

The DeKoven Club of the Forestry
Normal school last night rendered
their concert as advertised at the
Grand Theatre and showed to a packed
house: The concert was exceptionally
good, in fact, we do not feel capable of
giving it the write-up it deserves. The
entire musical program was in charge
Of Mrs. Vernon L. Mang1n and al
though Bottineau people have had the
pleasure of hearing voices trained by
her before, we believe last nights pro-
gram surpasses them all.
"The Churning Song", with Mrs.
Mangun, Thomas Carlson and John
ston Walker, was greatly enjoyed and
repeated encores were called for. This
was one Of the best numbers Of the
evening.
"The Milkmaids" Chorus" with
twelve Of the school girls was very
good and as climax to the program
the lights were turned out and ten
young ladies marched up and down
the aisles with japanese lanterns and
throwing confetti, while the chorus
sang, "The Japanese Sandman" and
"On the Shores Of Tripoli.
The solo work Of Mrs. Mangun
throughout the evening was excellent,
and it is seldom, II ever, anything is
heard in Pottineau, equal to it.
The one act play, trThe Revolt un-
der the direction Of Miss Caroline
Lindley, instructor Of English, at the
Normal, was exceedingly well rem

Dear Mr.. White: ~
Some time ago you came to my Of
flee and we took up the matter of
rain production as proposed by Mr..
Hatfield's Method and I at once un-
dertook to get some information but
found it much more difficult than I
had expected. Some letters failed to
reach the parties and were returned.
Dean Hunt was leaving his position
and turned the matter over to Profess
sor Voorhies who took the matter up
with their county agent at Los An
geles and finally I have gotten some
information the only tangible thing
thus far. I am enclosing, herewith,
Mr.. Hodgson's letter, together with
a letter from Geo. P. Clements.
I trust this will give you something
definite to act upon. I wrote direct
to Mr.. Hatfield but not knowing his
street address the letter was returned
to me.
Yours very truly, -

The following letter is from the Uni
versity Of California, College Of Agri-
culture and U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture Cooperating. Office of the
Farm Advisor, 361 Court House, Los
Angeles, California.
DIR. E. F. Ladd, President,
Agricultural College,
North Dakota.
Dear Sir: 49,.
Several weeks ago I received let
ter from Professor E. V. VOORHEES,,
Assistant to the Dean of the College
of Agriculture, University of Califor-
MIA, enclohing copy of yours of De-
cenber 9th, addressed to Dean Hunt,
concerning Charles Mallory Hatfield,
Southern California rainmaker. It has
taken me several weeks to secure the
information which I desired concern
ing Mr.. Hatfield, which will explain
why your letter has not received at
tention prior to this time.
In a general way I have known Of
Mr.. Hatfield's work for several years,
and the feeling in Southern California
has been that while Mr.. Hatfield is
perhaps entirely sincere in his work,
he has.been extremely fortunate in
most cases. I am enclosing a letter
from DR.. Geo. P. Clements, mana
ger of the agricultural department of
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce, who has had occasion to go into
Hatfield's work in some little detail,
and which I think will furnish you as
reliable information concerning Mr..
Hatfield as is obtainable.

My Dear Hodgson: ..s.
We have attempted to run down Mr..
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1921-01-20

Charles Mallory Hatfield for you and
found it much more of task than
we anticipated so you will have to
pardon our delay.
Mr.. Hatfield was born some AZ
years ago in Minnesota near the city
of st. Paul and came to California
about twenty years ago. His theory
is to create an artificial vortex or
water spout. To do this he erects a
number Of towers, twenty to thirty
feet high around a body of water,
the larger the better. Tanks of gal
vanized iron surmount these towers
and contain a number of trays, also
Of galvanized iron, which contain
salt, presumably sulphate of copper.
These are connected up with the earth
by wires, supposedly for radio activ-
ity, although it may be nothing more
than galvanic electricity.
Mr.. Hatfield has made and fulfilled
many contracts. At Newman, Crows
Landing, several places throughout
Oregon, Idaho and Utah. Hemet, Riv-
ersity County and San Diego brought
him forcibly before the public. If you
remember, he produced, or claimed to
produce, the thirty six inches of rain
fall which washed out all the San Di-
ego dams, railroad bridges and devas-
tated the alluvial lands and drowned
most of the low-landers in San Diego
county some years ago. This was done
under a verbal contract between Mr..
Hatfield and the City Council of San
Diego. The City was compelled to re-
pudiate this contract or they would
have been liable for every dollars
worth Of damage done.
Mr.. Hatfield's contracts are all
based on time periods. No rain, no
pay. In a number of cases, where un-
der contract, it has rained, prior to
the erection Of his apparatus, the
number of inches according to his
guarantee, he has not only refused to
accept his contract money, but all
credit. He places his credit in his ap-
paratus. He has had very enticing
propositions from India, Australia,
and South America, but has refused
to leave California or the Pacific
Coast. We understand that he has
more than once offered the United
States Weather Bureau and the U. S.
Agricultural Department the oppor-
tunity of testing out his apparatus
under his supervision, demanding only
that he be given credit for his find
ings, such as they were and offering,
providing these findings were salts
factory, to give to the Government his
formula and instruct them in the mo-
dus operandi.
Of the many neighbors and friends
of Mr.. Hatfield, whom have had the
pleasure Of meeting, they are all of
the opinion that he is perfectly sin
cere and honest in his contention and
it's ability to perform his claims. Mr..
Hatfield comes from an old Quaker
family-is a Quaker himself and ap-
parently would be the last man one
would expect to be faker.
One of the Times reporters has
spent good deal of time in trying to
disprove that his claims have ever
made good only to come to the con-
clusion that either through accident
or design or possibly good bet, they
have rarely failed.

n. P. LEAGUE STATE.
CONVENTION MEETS
Bismarck, N. D. Jan, ID, 1872:

The State Convention of the Nation
al Nonpartisan League assembled in
Patterson Hall, Bismarck, today at 2
P. NJ, with every county in North Da-
kota represented.
The convention went into perma-
nent organization, electing R. H.
Walker of Oliver county as Chairman
and G.aP. Nye of Griggs as Secretary,
after which recess was taken until
Z P. M.
In the evening just before going in
to business session the delegates and
visitors gave great ovation to Gov
ernor Frazier, who spoke briefly of
the "ultimatum" recently ukased to
the Industrial commission by the East
ern bankers.
Unbounded enthusiasm and a de-
termination to put the Industrial pro-
gram over at all costs was evident
all thru the session.
The committee on Resolutions, c. c.
Talbot of Dickey, Stephen Terhorst of
Ward, P. S. Jungers of Morton, Geo.
D. Laird of Ramsey, and w r.. Ewes
of LaMoure county, submitted four
resolutions at the evening session, all
Of which were adopted. .,
The first resolution asserts absolute
confidence in the National Executive
Committee, A. c. Townley, F. B.
Wood and VIM. Lemke, and pledges
them the individual support of the
League in their great work.
The Second; President A. Clown
ley and his corps of organizers the
united support Of all Leaguers in the
splendid struggle they are making in
Nebraska, Kansas and other agricul-
tural states to organize the farmers
despite the vicious fight being made
on them by the reactionaries.
The third; okays from top to bottom
the reply of the Industrial Commis-
sion to the Bankers committee.
The fourth; commends the League
Senators and Representatives who,
zone and all stood like a stone wall
for the rights Of the people and the
Industrial program" endorses that
stand and pledges full support Of the
League.
- The friends Of the League are de-
lighted at the earnestness with which
the delegates got down to work solv-
ing the problems before them while
it's enemies are correspondingly dis
appointed. -.
The last work Of the night session
was the nomination Of ten men from
which the League membership will
elect (5) five to serve as the State
Executive Committee. The ballot will
be printed in the next issue Of the
North Dakota Leader.
The Nominees
The candidates for the executive
committee nominated are: Walter

The receipts of course, tell their
own story. 1t is their disposition that
is used by the opposition to befuddle
the mind of the public which is trick
as old as time.
In the disbursements, you will no
tice that, in the fiscal year beginning
July, 1919, and ending Jauly /, 1920,
the Bureau paid out for claims only
$69, 9,38S.01, and from which simple
fact the opposition tries to set up the
claim that the Bureau is collecting far
more money than is necessary to care
for injured persons and the depend
ents of those killed. This sounds plaus-
ible to those who know nothing of
accident insurance and the reserves
that are absolutely necessary to pay
the deferred claims of injured persons
and dependents. =.
Under the heading of Reserves, you
will, therefore note that the Bureau
has set aside the sum Of $4,000,
which is the amount estimated by the
insurance tables to be necessary to
pay the claims already approved and
allowed. Further, this sum does not
belong to the Bureau at all, but to in
jured persons and dependents, the last
being mainly the widows and children
of men who have been killed while at
work. Many Of these claims will be in
process of payment for years, as the
insurance is paid in weekly install
ments.
On top Of this reserve, the Bureau
has q Catastrophe Reserve, which the
law compels it to set aside to be used
in case Of extraordinary losses, such
as, say, the burning down Of a de-
partment store and the loss therein
Of many lives by fire, or any similar
accident where, many employees were
killed or injured. In addition to this
reserve, the Bureau has further

Farmer Should Lay in Ample Supply
for Cooling Milk and for House.
hold Uses in Summer.

Farmers who have not already done
so, should prepare to lay by a store
of ice now for cooling milk and for
household use next summer. In places
where nature provides a sufficiently
low temperature, the cost of harvest
ing and storing ice is low when COM
pared with the saving effected. Ordi-
narily, it is safe to harvest 2 tons Of
ice for each COW in the herd. This
will allow for melting and leave
enough for family needs. Where
cream only is sold, about one-third Of
that quantity Of ice will be needed.
Two farmers bulletins, No. 623. Ice

lent Of Phaseolus. In East Africa
both the wild and cultivated cowpeas
are called "kunde," while in India,
where the c~atjang is more extensively
cultivated, the name "lubia," with
many others, is used. In America the
cowpea was first known as "calli-
vance" and later as Indian pea"

and "cornfield pea" The first pub
lished record of the name cowpea was
in 1898 and applied apparently to a
single variety.
The cowpea at present is the best
known and most extensively grown
lesuminous crop in the Southern
states, but it can be grown probably
much farther north. Although it sue
ceeds under a greater diversity Of
climatic, Soil, and cultural conditions
than most other legumes, the best re-
suits are obtained in forage, soil i'm
provement, and seed production by a
thorough understanding of the re-
quirements and the best varieties Of
the crop.
