that Missouri farms have on hand
3,0O5,OOO cattle, 100000 horses, 414,-

215,00O, hogs 10000 and sheep 1872
900, which is smaller number for
each class than was on feed at the end
of the first. quarter, according to the
joint report issued here today by E.
A. Logan and Jewell Msyes of the
United States and State Departments
of Agriculture.
Missouri farmers are slow to begin
fall cattle feeding in the face of low
prices and also are reluctant to in
crease their operations in sheep,
many Of them having two wool clips
on hand and another growing. More
interest is shown in the feeding Of
hogs than, any, other livestock opera

SCHOOL LOSES
IN COURT TRIAL

Dickinson, N. d., Dec. 5.-Consider
able interest was evidenced in the case
OF Versippi school district versus Ray
4 Clark which was taken up in the
Stark county district court.
In this case the plaintiffs sued the
defendants FOR $2,1l5 which it alleged
was due to it under the terms of a
contract made with the defendants. 1t
appears that In 1917 the plaintiffs con
tracted with the local firm for the in
stallation Of heating plant in the
consolidated school for $722.
In making the contract the men,
bers CT the school board claimed that
Ray & Clark agreed that if the plant
did not prove satisfactory the defend
ants would pay for the installation Of
new system. The board alleged that
the plant was decided unsatisfactory
and that after many attempts on the
part of the, defendants to make it
work, new plant was ordered
through Halliday firm. Consequent
ly suit was brought to recover the
amount paid for the new plant.
| The defendants claimed that no
such agreement had been entered into
and that had the building been prop
erly constructed, their plant would
have proven satisfactory.
After occupying the greater part of
two days the case went to the jury
Thursday afternoon and a verdict was
rendered in favor of the defendants.

LINTON FINDS !,
TRAIN SERVICE
BIG HANDICAP

Linton, N. d., Dec. 5.-People Of
Linton and community have suffered
much in years gone by because Of
bad mail and train service. The Mil
waukee has taken Oft its passenger
train entirely, and Linton's only ser
vice to Aberdeen is a daily mixed
train affair. The hours of service are
also changed.
The Milwaukee mixed train under
the new schedule, leaves Linton at z
o'clock in the morning. 1t gets to
Linton at its own sweet will in the
afternoon. On the other hand, the
N. p. gets into Linton any old time
after six o'clock. The result is COM
plete decentralization in postal service.
Mail from the north must be serted
late at night in order to be forwarded
on the Milwaukee's seven O'Clock
train. The post office force must be
at work about 6 a. m. in order to
make the south train. and they can't
possibly finish their work before s
the night before For long time it
has taken Linton people two days to
make a train trip to Bismarck. The
N. P. just misses the morning train at
Mckenzie. Now, one must leave Lin
ton at a. m. in order to reach Aber-
deem that night.

Voliva mas increased his fortune
from 80 cents to $6.000,0G0 in 10 years.
He has just turned down 100000

And still he believes that the world

Every one knows how Voliva, as

has made his bailiwick the bluest OF

But few have heard of Voliva's stu

death of Dowie With his total as

Today NIoliva owns Zion City. Ev-
erything is in his name, including it's
23 industries, which, last year did a
total business of $3,156,O51.24.
Today VOliva's properties are al.

"Ill-used, this gift is more than a

serving others and guided by relig

In his role of overseer, Voliva has
more duties and positions than a vau-
deville quick change artist.
Primarily there is but one road to
success, and that road lies along the
highway Of eternal and constant am

breaks any cold right up.
The very first dose opens clogged
