A cylinder-like contrIvance with a
hopper in the window Of the Merkle
Coal company machinery department
is causing some wonderment as to
what may be it's purpose among
many. A potato sorter is the ex-
PLANTATION and it is believed by some
10 be the first ever brought to Belt.
The past. year has demonstrated to
many farmers the necessity of sort
ing their potatoes If they would find
a market, particularly an advan-
tageous one, and there has been
many inquiries as to the machine.
Next fall will undoubtedly see a num-
Der of them in use hereabouts.
The Passion Week services being
held at the NJ. Z. church this week
will close tomorrow evening with the
administration of the Holy Communion
at 8 o'clock. A sunrise prayer meet
ing Easter Sunday morning at $50
a. M, will take the form of an old
fashioned Methodist love feast. The
regular morning services at 1920
Easter day will be combined with the
Easter exercises of the Sunday school,
and at the evening services q special
MUSICAL program will be rendered.
The choir will sing Christ Our Pass
over" j. R. Culver will sing a solo
and Mrs. Alton. accompanied BY
NJ. T. Messelt on the violin and Miss
Thea Knudson on the piano, will sing
81 Know that My Redeemer Liveth,"
Handel's Messiah.
A heavy snow storm last Saturday
and Sunday and again Tuesday has
again delayed the time when farmers
can get into their fields. Some pillow
ing was started in the more favorable
fields a week ago, but even with fav-
orable weather, it will be another
week before it can be resumed.
Landing is being conducted under
very unfavorable conditions, and with
many continued feeding of livestock
is making the hay shortage more
acute.

DEAD NAM N'WORk|NC
WHEN SHERIFF ARRIVES

Sheriff Hennessy was summoned to
near Eckman at an early hour yester-
day morning il. answer to a report
that dead man had been seen a short
distance from that town. When the
sheriff arrived he failed to find the
dead man and inquiry led him to a
threshing rig not far away where the
supposed murdered man was found
hauling bundels.
It seems that bunch of "bums"
boarded the freight train at Eckman
and when but few miles out of that
town one of the number pulled gun,
fired a shot and the supposed dead
man took the easiest way out of the
box car, that of simply falling out.
His pals figured he had been shot and
upon arriving at Kenmare notified the
authorities there, that a dead man
had been seen near Eckma1l. Being
out of Ward county jurisdiction Sher-
iff Hennessy was notified and found
the man threshing. His story was that
when the man fired the pistol he just
naturally dropped out of the box car,
with the other occupants thinking he
had been shot.

RATES TO NATIONAL
DAIRY EXPOSITION

Pre-war railroad rates will apply to
the National Dairy Exposition, Octo-
Der TIA, at the Twin Cities. An open
rate of one ard one-third fares has
been granted by the Western Passen-
ger Association from all points in
Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Da-
kota, from all points in the Northern
Peninsula of Michigan, all of South
Dakota east of the Missouri River
eastern Montana and that part OF
Iowa, on the North of The c. & N. W.
Ry., Clinton to Missouri Valley.
Tickets at the rate of one and one
third fares will be on sale October
5-13 inclusive, with a final return linn
it of October 10th and minimum ex-
cursion fare of $1.0O. Half fares will
apply to children. These are the low
est rates granted by the railroads
since before the war and it is believed
by Col. w. E. Skinner, General Man
ager of the Exposition, that the an
nour.cement will speed up the organi'
zation of large delegations to the
1922 Exposition at st. Paul and Min
neapolis.

MYLAN POOL HALL
BURNS TO GROUND

The worst fire which has visited
Bottineau in several years broke out
in the Home Plate Pool Hall just a
few minutes before six a. m. Friday
morning and completely destroyed the
building, in which also was located the
Trambley restaurant.
Three streams of water were CEN
tered Oh the burning mass but with
no avail as the flames had gained so
much headway that the building was
burned to the ground.
The Farmers Advocate for a time
was in great danger and water was
thrown on the roof and this together
with the thick stone wall between the
Advocate office and pool hall saved
it, although the front of the Advocate
building caught on fire.
Across the street every window in
the First National Bank, the Shirley
Hotel and the Oliviere Hat Shop were
broken, due to the intense heat.
The Northwestern Telephone Com
pany was heavy loser in the fire, as
the main lead cable, governing the
phones in the east part of the city,
melted, with the result that many in
dividual phones were burned out and
their loss is estimated at around
$1,OOOOO.
The Pool Hall building belonged to
W. H. Mcintosh, and was one of Bot
tineau's old land marks. The building
was insured for $25OO0O, while Mr..
Mylan had but $1,0OO.OO insurance on
the contents and his loss will be sew
eral times that amount.
The loss to the Trambley restaurant
is estimated at near $4,000 by Mr..
Trambley, with no insurance. The Ad-
vocate building, owned by F. C. Fal-
kenstein was insured and a claim for
damage was filed with the insurance
company.
The light plant suffered as a re-
suit of the fire. All wires north Of
Main Street were burned and it was
not until night that service was again
rendered in the north part of the city.
Just how the fire started no one
knows but the need of a fire wall was
here clearly demonstrated. Had it not
been there The Advocate office, the
Lescault residence, the Telephone Co.
store room, The Courant, Fire Hall
and the south part Of the Gleason
garage would no doubt have been in
cluded in the loss.
We did not learn just what Mr.. N.Y.
Ian intends to do but we were told
that Bottineau again will have first
class pool hall as Monte Woods has
already placed an order for a COM
plete new outfit of tables, etc.

FORD RICHEST MAN IN WORLD

New York, Sept. 20-Henry Ford
is the richest man in the world, ac-
cording to an article published today
by the Wall Street Journal.
Henry Ford has in the Ford Motor
company the largest income and the
largest fortune in the world, said the
newspaper.
Profits of the company before pay
ing taxes in 1922 will be $125, 100000
and after paying taxes S11O,OOO,OOO
or about $1O0 car. With these earn
ings the Ford company could capital
ize at $2,o0O,o00,0o0 and pay percent
interest.
Ford condemns bankers, but, with
$180,0O0,000 in cash he is the largest
individual banker in the world. His
income Of $5OO,00O a day during the
busy season is probably unequalled
in the history of the world.

Lynn J. FRAZIER
IS ENTHUSIASTIC

Lynn J. Frazier, Republican candi.
date for United States senator, ane
three times elected governor of North
Dakota, was in Fargo yesterday on
his way to Hoople from South Dako-
ia. Mr.. Frazier has made a number
of addresses in South Dakota the
past few days and reports that he
found the sentiment for the Nonpar-
tisan League strong at every place he
visited.
"I found conditions in South Da.
kota even worse than in our own
state," said Mr.. Frazier. "Taxes are
very much higher in that state than
in North Dakota. Real estate values
have beer boosted to the skies and
consequently taxes on farms are much
higher than they are here.
Looking to League
"The people of South Dakota are
getting convinced that there is nc
hope for better conditions as long as
the old guard is in power. The re,
suit is that they are looking to the
Nonpartisan League for marketing
and credit reforms. The outlook fol
League victory in our sister state
never was as bright as it is now. The
enthusiasm at our meetings there
was marked"
Mr.. Frazier will begin his cam
paign speaking tour about October 1
His schedule is now being arranged
by the Republican campaign head
quarters in Fargo. He is optimistic
over the outlook for victory at the
polls this fall, being especially en-
couraged by the spontaneous offers
of support of leading Republicans Of
all factions in the state.
At Valley Forge Now
"The farmers of North Dakota are
going through their Valley Forge
these days." said Mr.. Frazier. The
purchasing power of their labor has
virtually been destroyed. Their cred
it is long since gone. After quarter
of century of incessant fighting
for fair share of what they produce
and a voice in the conduct of theil
own business, they find themselves al
point when they have nothing LEFT
to fight with. But, like the patriots
of '76, their spirits have not beer
downed. They have another fight II
them.
See Victory Just Ahead
'"The times are dark; the situation
appears almost hopeless at times. Bu'
the embattled farmers of North Da
kota are not wavering. They know
that it is always darkest just befor'
thedawn. Like the brave men of Val
ley Forge, they confidently believ'
that victory lies before them The!
propose to carry on their fight fol
| economic independence until victory il
won.'

Educatio.i Means Money

In Massachusetts, the average per-
son goes to school seven years; in
Tennessee the average person goes to
school three years. In Massachusetts,
the average income is $4,000 while
in Tennessee it is $4,000.
In the United States as a whole the
average college graduate earns $4,000
a year, the average high school grad
uate $1,000, the average elementary
school graduate $500.
Each day spent in high school is
worth $25 to each pupil; each. day
spent in college $55.55. This is more
than the average boy or girl can earn
by leaving college and going to work.
Only one in hundred of our peo-
pie is a high school graduate, while
so per cent of our presidents, Sd per
cent Of our vice presidents, 50 per
cent of our Supreme Court judges and
81 per cent of our attorney generals
have had college degrees.
There is book in America called
"Who's Who in America" This book
contains the names of those persons
who are we'll known because of their
good works. The person who cannot
read and write has one chance in 15O,-
600 to get his name into this book;
the grammar school graduate one in
4,25O; the high school graduate one
in 1000, the college graduate one in
18O, the honor student in college one
in three.
Does education pay?

NEST0S AND CLAN
VISIT WASHINGTON

Washington, Sept 2O.-An inter-
esting item of news for the North
Dakota farmer lies in the fact that
there is now a very distinguished
delegation in Washington trying to
break down the barriers to the treas
ury in order to obtain aid for the
farmers of that state.
That delegation is constituted as
follows: Governor R. A. Nestos, J. F.
I. OConnor, Democratic candidate
for U. S. senator, and L. B. Hanna,
eX-congressman and ex-governor.
These gentlemen are asking aid of
the War Finance corporation for the
farmers to enable them to hold their
wheat
A very worthy purpose. But the
War Finance corporation does busi-
ness through the banks, and the banks
must have their pound of flesh.
Opposed Farmer Program
The farmers of North Dakota had
a program, ard in that program es-
tablished bank of their own. These
gentlemen were opposed to that pro-
gram. If the Bank of North Dakota
had been allowed properly to func-
tion the farmers would now have
their own machinery for handling
these matters with the War Finance
corporation. Thanks to the opponents
of the farmers program, the farm
ers must now pay bounty to the banks
if they obtain help at all.
If the farmers had been allowed to
have their own agency there would
now be no middlemen's commissions.
It is quite interesting to watch this
case of "a Daniel come to judgment"
wherein those who made great prom
Use in order to get into office are now
bewildered in an effort to get by pub
lie sentiment. Camouflage and smoke
screen do not last always.
Stair Called to Capitol
1t is a strange coincidence that
while these gentlemen are III Wash
ington to interview their Wall Street
friends in order to obtain help for the
bankers, that L. L. Stair, warden of
the state penitentiary and pioneer
Nonpartisan of North Dakota, former
speaker of the house, was called to
Washington by Senator Capper for
the purpose of conferring with regard
to the purchasing of twine so as to
protect the interests of the farmers
Of the country.
+ Stair came here at the invitation OF
his government, while the other gen.
tlemen are here in an effort to save
themselves from political oblivion.
