The jitney buses have put the
street cars at Des Moines out of bust
ness. The company has been los
ing from $4,000 to 100000 a month
and finally went into the hands of a
receiver. The street cars have been
tied up indefinitely and people are
using every sort of a conveyance i'm
aginable getting to their work. Des
Moines is a city of 100000 popula-
ton and covers 81 square miles. The
street railway company have been
charging 8 cents fares while the
buses have been carrying passengers
for five cents. The street car COM
pany say they could make money at
s cents if the Des Moines council
would bar the buses from the streets.
The automobiles have caused consider
able loss to street car companies in
other cities. At Billings, Mont, the
street cars which had been doing a
thriving business, were tied up some
time ago and the street car tracks
are unused. Some years ago there
was talk of street cars for Minot but
this city will have to be several times
larger than it is now for project
of this kind to pay. Automobiles
have cut into the revenues Of the
railroads most fearfully. as well.

DAkOTA-MONTANA
TWELVE OIL SYNDICATE

The growth of this organization
during the past month has been re-
markable considering the vast
amount of valuable oil leases that we
have acquired
Our first acreage was the Forty
acres in Cat Field Field.
Our second acreage acquired was
the 602O acres on Black Coulee struc-
ture.
Our third acreage acquired was the
$4,000 acres on the Black Coulee,
Lovejoy and Coburg structures in
Blain County, Montana.
Our fourth acreage acquired was on
August 9Th, 1921, of $4,000 acres on
the Briar Creek-Sun River Anticline
in Lewis-Clarks County, Montana.
This was Government Oil Reserve
Land and released about year ago.
When we closed the deal for this
acreage, there were twelve other Oil
Companies endeavoring to get this
tract, and we won out over all of them.
This acreage alone may mean few
million dollars for US. Our share
holders participate in the earnings Of
all our acreage just as they do in the
we'll in Cat Creek. We intend to re-
tain a royalty on each and every acre
Of our holdings for our share holders,
whether we sell or suitcase to other
Companies, and some of this acreage
we will develope' ourselves just as soon
as we complete our well in Cat Creek.

Decides To Tell Truth

Only short time ago the editor of
paper in Indiana grew tired Of being
called a liar, and announced that he
would tell the truth; and the next
issue Of his paper contained the fol-
lowing items:
John BONN, the LATEST merchant
in town, made a trip to Belleville
Monday.
John Coyle, our grocery man is do
ing a poor business. His store is
dirty and dusty. How can he do
much?
Rev. Sly preached last Sunday on
Charity. The sermon was punk.
Dave Cankey died at his home here
on Tuesday. The doctor gave it out
as heart failure. Whiskey killed him.
y Married-Miss Sylvan Rhodes and
James Collins, last Saturday at the
parsonage. The bride is very ordi-
nary girl, who doesn't know any
more about cooking than jackrabbit,
and never helped her mother more than
three days in her life. She is not a
beauty by any means, and has a
gait like duck. The groom is an up
to-date loafer. He has been living off
the old folks at home all his life, and
F., is not worth shucks. 1t will be a hard
life.
The governor Of our state, very
ordinary man, and was elected by
accident, was here yesterday. He has
very few friends here now. He prom
Used some Of the voters Of this precinct
piece of pie in the event Of his cleo
ton, but had forgotten all about it
when the time came to hand over the
little office.
Died-Aged Sc years, six months
and Is days. Deceased was q mild
hammered pirate, with a mouth for
whiskey. He came here in the night
with another mans wife and joined
the church at the first chance. He
owed US several dollars for the na::
per, large meat bill and you could
hear him pray six blocks. He died
singing, "Jesus Paid it ALL" and we
think he is right-he never paid any
thing himself. He was buried in an
asbestos casket, and his friends threw
palm leaf fans in his grave as he
may need them.-Exchange.

Adrian Hills, prominent Burlington

Adrian Hills, prominent Burlington
farmer in conversation with a repre-
sentative of the Independent recently
stated that he became convinced that
the farmer to be successful must
break away from wheat and practic-
ally all grain crops, and get into q
greater diversity of crops. As an
example he cited the writer to load
which he brot to town that day and
marketed, bringing him in the tidy
sum of $50. The load consisted of q
pen of spring chickens, a dressed hog
and some vegetables. He says that
his sales last month Melted him over
$500. Mr.. Hills has rented the Henry
Marshall truck farm in Mann's coulee

ment of Municipal and County De-
tention hospital for the treatment Of

is occupying a small shack in the negro
quarters in the southwestern part Of

Borenes Return From Vavati0n
Mr. md Mrs W e Rnrena anC

little daughter, Betty, returned on
Thursday Of last week from four
weeks tour of the eastern part Of
South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota.
They had very enjoyable trip max
ing the entire distance without mis-
hap. At Odobolt, Iowa, they ran
across Henry Rosen, former Minot
merchant. Henry conducts general
store at Odobolt and is doing well.
He recently burned out and is now
having q big fire sale which is draw
ing immense crowds to Odobolt. Near
this town the Borenes visited the
famous Adams Ranch, owned by the
founder of the Adams Express Co..
This immense. ranch consists Of II
sections of fine fertile land and is the
largest farm in Iowa. The farm
buildings are located in the centre of
the tract, the homes of the prophet
or and the superintendent being YER
liable palaces. Here he saw enor-
nous corn cribs, fully 200 feet long
filled to capacity with corn from last
years crop. All thru Iowa are cribs
and stacks Of corn, some fully fifteen
feet in height, the price being so
low the farmers refused to sell at the
prevailing prices. This has had a
tendency to add to the other hardships
which the Iowa farmer is facing today
and times are hard and farmers poor:
What with high interest rates and
IN priced land Iowa farmers are
having a hard time to make both ends
meet these days. Mr.. and Mrs.
Borene spent two weeks at Lake
Minnewaska where they occupied a
cottage and fished to their hearts con-
tent.
