BOY SCOUTS, TROOP ;, INTER-
ESTED IN ODD SPECIES OF RATS

Boy Scouts Of Troop Three have
been recently interested in an odd
species or phase Of rats during their
week end stays at Spoklie hall. This
variety is a small one but is distin-
guished by being partly gray and
partly white. One large gray rat was
killed, but when trap was set for its
mate an unexpected prey was captur-
ed. Several of the gray and white ro-
dents were taken, together with 9TH
ers of the same size but entirely gray.
The scmi-albinos are gray except
for the white abdomen and adjacent
sides and sort of white belt that
extends part way up toward the back
about the middle of the animal. This
marking is distinct and uniform in all
the four or five specimens taken. The
hind legs and feet are pale pink.
Several years ago Minot man took
to raising white rats for sale but,
finding the business Improbable,
turned his animals loose. Shortly
the reafter citizens reported seeing !.
new rat that was both gray and whit
and it is believed the new species is Il 4
result of crossing between the white
rats and the familiar gray ones.
Spoklie hall is a mile and half
west Of the city and the appearance Of
the strange creatures there is another
proof Of the wandering habits of the
rat family. Traps have fairly well rid
the Hall Of them.

Parker Gets Enormous Yield of

G. II. Parker bought bushel of
Goose" corn last spring and planted
it securing an enormous yields. Many
of the stalks had six large ears, some
paid S14.00 for the bushel Of seed, he
was we'll repaid. The corn is known
as "Goose" corn, for the man who
first planted it in the northwest, secur-
ed four kernels from a wild goose
which he shot. The corn was peculiar
looking and the man saved the kerr
nels planting them in the spring, thus

secured the corn somewhere in the
far north and may have flown for hun
drrds Of miles with 1t.

DIR. l.. Y. PARKER DIED MON
DAY AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

The entire community was shocked
and grieved to learn that DR.. Leon V.
Parker, prominent physician and
surgeon Of this city had passed away
Monday, at 12:45 O'Clock, after an i'll
ness of less than week. His death
occurred at St. Josephs hospital and
was due to throat trouble which de-
veloped into septic poisoning. The
doctor became slightly i'll with a sore
throat Wednesday before his death
and for several days his condition was
not considered serious, but finally
septic poisoning developed causing
his death within twentyfour hours,
in spite Of the efforts made to save
him by the medical profession Of the
city. He was conscious up to within
Il few minutes of his death, and fully
realized the seriousness of his condi
ton, being fully aware Of the develop
ment of his case and conversing with
his physicians concerning it.
The remains were shipped this at
ternoon on No. 2 over the Great
Northern to Cumberland Mills, Maine,
the home of he doctors parents,
where the funeral and burial will take
place. They were accompanied by
Mrs. Parker and the two daughters,
Florence and Dorothy. Mrs. Alex
Bell is accompanying Mrs. Parker
and daughters on their sad journey.
Mrs. Parker's plans for the future
arc indefinite, but it is said she does
not intend to return to Minot. Her
parents reside at Columbus, o.

gist until 1916. At that time he en-
tered Rush Medical College, Chicago,
graduating in 1919, and for a year
after was inferno in the Presbyterian
hospital in Chicago. During the war
he was First Lieutenant in the Medi
cal Corps and was stationed in Chi
cago. He then came to Minot and
began the practice of medicine, sue
ceeding in building up fine practice.
He was regarded as a very capable
member Of his profession. He was
exceptionally charitable and many a.
poor family unable to pay for their
professional services can thank Dr.
Parker for bringing them back to
health.
DR.. Parker was very unassuming, 81
man with a smile and cheerful word
for all and greatly beloved by all who
knew him. He was a member of the
/ Presbyterian church and conscieE~
ti0us, upright citizen.
He is survived by his wife and
daughters, Florence, aged 13. and
Dorothy, aged II, his father, mother
and sister.
For many years, the doctor had
been a member of the Inquisitors
Club and ont of the deep love and re
spect Of its members for him, the
regular meeting Wednesday, was
postponed.

About Two-Thirds of the Wheat Has
Been Marketed

Sever Soine, manager Of the Minot
Farmers Cooperative Elevator Co.,,
reported to representative of the
Independent Saturday that his house
had bought more than 100000 bushels
Of wheat already this season and he
is quite certain that he will have an
opportunity to buy 100000 bushels
more before spring. He estimates
that about two-thirds of the wheat
has been marketed in this district.
The Minot grain houses will market
about 100000 bushels Of wheat dur
ing the season, he believes. Owing
to the inability of many elevators in
other towns to get cars, more wheat
is being marketed in Minot than usual,
much of it being hauled here from
long distances on trucks.

Fire Hall at Surrey Burns with
EupineS

The fire hall at Surrey, the first
station on the G. N. east of Minot,
was burned to the ground at four
o'clock last Thursday afternoon. Two
engines and chemicals, together with
considerable gasoline and kerosene
stored in the building were burned.
The fire probably was caused by the
explosion of a kerosene stove. Four
of these stoves had been lighted to
keep the building warm. No one was
in the building and Doc Wolf discov-
cred the blaze and gave the alarm. He
states that he heard an explosion
which was probably caused by the eX-
plosion of a fifty gallon container Of
kerosene. Surrey, which maintained
quite an effective fire fighting system,
is now without protection of any kind.

John Ehr Develops New Variety of
Potatoes, Dark in Color

John Ehr has developed brand
new variety of potatoes after seven
years Of experimentation and devel-
opment. The new variety is very
dark, almost black and are especially
solid, sweet and evenly formed. Mr..
Ehr secured bushel from few hills
last season and will plant them all for
seed in the spring. He has developed
six other varieties that give promise
Of being very good in time.
Producing a brand new variety Of
potatoes is painstaking work and
years are required. On every potato
plant that is allowed to go to seed,
one will find the seed pod, and opening
this, you will find a score or more Of
small potato seeds. Each one of these
seeds when planted, produces differ
ent kind of potato and it requires
three years before one can secure a
bushel Of potatoes of a brand new va
riety.
