KELLY LEASES
HIS BUILDING TO
THE PENNEY co

"A lease which was signed several
months ago, but which has just been
made public and which is of con-
siderable interest, provides for ten
year rental of the C. j. Kelly block on
the corner of fifth street and Kelly
avenue to the J. C. Penney Company,
which will occupy the building after
June first. The lease was signed some
time in January when Mr.. Kelly an
nounced that he intended to rebuild
and remodel his place, but neither
party would either. admit or deny the
contract until now.
Among the improvements which are
now going on at the Kelly block in
clude the putting in of a full base
ment under the building, the tearing
down of the brick walls which have
stood for many years and replacing
them with pressed brick and glass,
the raising of the ceiling on the ground
floor one foot, and to all practical
purposes making a new building out
of the structure. Five living apart
ments will be installed on the second
floor of the rebuilt structure. Most
Of the space on the two streets sides
of the block will be of glass for the
purpose Of affording the Penney Co.
the maximum amount Of show win
dows and light for the interior of
the store. The contract for the work
which must be completed by June
1st, is let to Fjeldseth & johnson, who
have had workmen on the Job for
some time.
Mr.. Kelly had an addition con-
structed to his main building during
the past few MONTHS, and every foot
of his lots is now occupied. The con-
structidn work on the addition is
completed with the exception of some
painting and decorating, but he has
already moved his stock of groceries
into the new place where he is doing
business now. His dry good and
shoes are still in the main building
where he will continue his auction
until this part Of his stock is dis
posed of. He now plans on limit
ing himself to the grocery business
alone, but may branch out into some
thing else later.
After the rebuilding of the Kell.
block is completed it will add con
siderably to the attractiveness O.
Kelly avenue, which now can boas
of being for several blocks one of tn,
best built up streets in the state, tax
ing the size of the city into considera
tion.

Meeting Called
TO Talk Over
Glacier Trail

Frank C. Thornton, president of the
First National Bank of Benson, Min
nesota, and Bert T. Fuqua, secretary
and manager of the Glacier Park Trail
association. were in the city on Mon
day of this week for the purpose of
comforting with local business men in
regard to routing this trail through
Grand Forks and this city instead Of
going farther south on it's way to
Minot. The route originates at St.
Louis, Missouri, and ends at the Glac-
ier National Park. 1t was originally
planned to have the route run along
the Northern Pacific railroad from
Fargo west, but the business men at
Grand Forks got busy, and route
farther north is now being consider
ed. A meeting of the residents of the
city is called for next Tuesday even
ing at eight o'clock at the rooms of the
Civic and Commerce Commission
when the matter will be fully gone
over, and at which time it will be de-
cided to what extent the business men
of Devils Lake will cooperate with
the trail association in marking the
route through the northern part of the
state. All people in the city are in.
vited to attend the meeting.

DISTRICT COURT
IN MURDER CAST
No Bail For Convict's Pal
Charged With Staying
Young Girl

Fargo, N. D., April. 12.-Andy
Brown, charged with murder in con-
nection with the death of Marie
Wick, Grygla, Minn., in a local hotel
last June waived preliminary hearing
and was bound over to the Cass coun-
ty district court. He was remanded
to Jail without bail.
Gummer's Room mate
Brown was the roommate of Will
liam GUNNER, former night clerk at
the Prescott hotel, Fargo, who is now
serving a life term in the peniten-
tiary after having been found guilty Of
the murder of the unfortunate Grygla
girl.
During Gummer's trial Brown was
on the witness stand and admitted
being with GUNNER in the hotel for
some time on the night the murder
was committed. The state also inrto-
duced evidence tending to show that
he had made contradictory state
ments regarding the crime, and had
warned Gumnper to "stand pat'
while both were in the Cass county
Jail.

SKURDAL FINDS
STOLEN MAIL
POUCH HERE

The mail pouch which on March 25
disappeared while enroute from Whit
man, N. D., to this city, having been
stolen, was found on Thursday of
last week Anton Skurdahl under the
weed burner near the tracks of the
Farmers line, and was turned over to
Postmaster Scott. At the present
time it would be hard to tell whether
the theft netted the theft anything.
All the letters in the pouch We're
opened, and put back into the pouch.
The pouch contained no register mail,
but carried several applications fol-
automobile licenses and these were
accompanied by chacks and drafts,
but these were not taken. No clue
to the identity of :hievcs i.s keen
found.

FLAX CHAFF AND
SEED KILLS II
HEAD OF CATTLE

St. Anthony, N. D., April 12.-Nick
Bender, a farmer of near here recen-
tly fed bunch of fourteen cattle on
a mixture containing considerable
flax chaff and seed. Forty-five minu-
tes later he found twelve of them
dead.
According to Jacob Meyer of the
chemistry department Of the Agricul-
tural college at Fargo, the feed con-
tanned considerable quantity Of
prussic neutrality-suspicious. OF
the most deadly poisons.
"Flax develops this poison if it is
cut prematurely," he reported to Mr.
Bender after analyzing portions of the
feed sent there" Farmers should be
warned against feed flax that has
been cut prematurely to any stock
Many instances are on record of large
flocks of chickens dying after eating
flax seed,'' according to the report Of
Mr.. Moyer.

$1,000 PRIZE
BULL is DEAD

The registered Shorthorn bull, "Gay
Monarch" beloning to John L. Horne
of Penn died one day last week at the
Horne farm. The animal was one
of the best bred in the Northwest,
and his owner took great pride in him
ever since he got possession Of him
several years ago! The bull was
brought here in 1918 to the sale of
pure bred cattle by John Wild of Mil
ton, and was sold at the sale to
John Mckay for $1,000. The following
year Mr.. Mckay retired from farm
ing and sold the animal to Mr.. Horne.
The animal had always taken first
prize at each fair wherever he was
shown, and he will be greatly missed
by the breeders of pure bred live
stock in Ramsey county.

.INDICT TRIO
BANK officers
Misuse of the u. S. Mails
Charged Against Officers
of Defunct, institution

Mohall, N. D., April IA. L.
Wiebe, Walter Bergman and ]. c.
Peters, officers of the defunct Mohall
State bank, have been arrested on a
charge of misusing the United States
mails.
The federal grand jury which has
been in session at Bismarck for sew
eral weeks past Investigated the case
and returned one indictment against
the three men. Bail has been set at
$4,000 which both Mr.. Wiebe and Mr..
Peters have furnished. Mr.. Bergman
is expected to arrive soon and will
doubtless also be able to secure bonds
and be released.
False Statements Alleged
It is asserted that the statements
of the condition of the bank sent
through the mails showed no redis-
counts, which was false and owing to
this, large sums Of money We're re-
ceived by the bank and misappropriat-
ed.
Financial operations said to extend
to many sections of the country in
cluding particularly southern Mime
sofa, as well as western coast points
aggregating about $1,50O,O0O will be
unraveled when the officers of the
bank charged with the embezzlement
of 100000 of the banks funds come
to trial. The federal grand jury in
dictment is new charge against
them.
Excessive Interest Rates
A feature in connection with the
failure Of the bank is the claim that
thousands Of dollars worth of certifi-
Gates of deposit carried an interest
rate over 6 per cent, thus relieving
| the state guaranty fund from liabili-
| ty.
/ 1t is understood that many Of the
transactions upno which the criminal
action for embezzlement was brought
F.; hinges around a revolving fund"
complete transactions in which it is
said aggregate close to a million dol
lars. It is the paper that it is alleged
went into the bank through this funt
that will play an important part il
the trial.
Included among these and claimed
as typical was a note for seven thou
sand dollars, said to have been ac
cepted from stenographer in the in
stitution. Certain transactions having
to do with an increase in the capita
stock of the bank are also under fire
It was deemd advisable to increas
the capital stock of the bank and t,
do this notes were accepted with tn
promise, it is now charged, that the,
would not be used and that the max
ers would not be asked to pay them
That they were used is the contention
of the state,

FIRE DESTROYS
CAR ANDGARAGE

John P. Altman of east 9th street
suffered the loss of his car and garage
at about 1900 o'clock Saturday night
when for some unknown reason the
car and building caught fire and were
pretty we'll consumed before the fire
department arrived and put an end
to the flames. The car was a Grant
six touring, and Mr.. Axtman had run
into the garage only short time
befire the fire started. He>could see
nothing wrong with the machine at
that time, and cannot imagine what
started the conflagration. The car
was insured for 5000 which is much
less than it's actual value.

Woman Would Divorce
Her. ,.Chinese Husband

Bismarck, N, D., April 12.-North
Dakota's supreme court will have to
decide whether the lack Of the vote
is sufficient cause for divorce. 1t is
the basic plea back of the plea of
Mabel Kawabata that she be restored
to her prosaic maiden name Of Jones
and separated from her present legal
husband, Roy Kawabata. In the ap-
peal of he rattorneys before the pres
ent term of the supreme court, it was
stressed that Miss Mabel Jones did
not know when she welded the said
Kawabata that he was not citizen
of the United States and that he could
never become a citizen Of the United
States, and that as the wife Of an
alien, the franchise, recently accorded
to American women, would be with
held from her.
The local guess in legal circles is
that this is the first time, the lack
of the franchise has been used il
arguments for divorce.

BOY STUDENT
POISONS SELF

Forman, N. D., April 12.-Worry
over coming examinations and the
fact that he was behind in his studies
is believed to have caused Carl Isac-
son, 16-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed lsacson, to end his life by taking
stlychnine, death occurring m the
schoolhouse he attended.
According to information, the boy
was called at a. m., in order that
he might devote an extra hour to
study. After breakfast he and his
sister walked 2 1-2 miles to the
schoolhouse. Returning from the
schoolhouse barn whittier he had gone
while his sister and the teacher were
building fire, the youth took seat
and asked that his parents be sent for
as he was dying. They arrived just
as he expired.
The coroner found every Indication
OF strychnine poisoning.
A note was found in the boys
pocket bidding farewell to his par
ents and relatives.

SPRING WAGES
SET AT $50 in
RAMSEY COUNTY

At meeting of the Directors of
the Ramsey County Farm Bureau di-
rectors recently held in Devils Lake
the matter of standardizing farm la
Dor and labor wages was discussed
at length and it was finally decided
that farmers in this region would pay
$4,000 per month during spring work
and $500 for the season of eight
months. It was suggested shat in
case man stays through the entire
season of eight months that he re-
ceive $4,000 per month for the first
four months and $4,000 for tine last
four.
The plan of reporting labor condi-
tions as outlined by Mr.. H. 2. Fuller,
Secretary of the N. D. Farm Bureau
Federation, was adopted. This action
was taken as it was deemed neces-
sary in view of the fact that condi-
tions as to supply and demand for
labor over the entire state was nee
essary in order that wages be the
same over the entire area and the
men to be directed to places where they
are most needed. In each county
commissions district two farmers will
be selected as labor reporters for their
district. Reports will be forwarded
to the County Agent who will in turn
report to the Secretary of the N. D.
Farm Bureau Federation where a re.
port for the state will be made up and
returned to the various communities
A man will be selected in each towr
to receive orders from the farmers anc
assist in distribution. The State.
Federal Free Employment offices viii
cooperate in securing the help.

There will be a curtailment of en-
ployed help by farmers this spring, it

Farmer Can Become
Own Plant Breeder

Fargo N. D., April 12.-Every
farmer can become his own plant
breeder as corn is concerned, says L.
Il. Waldron, expert in that line at the
Agricultural college here.
The yield of corn can be improved
as much as IA per cent using seed
which is a cross between two widely
different kinds of corn - such as
Rustler, he says. The process is SIM
pie.
The two kinds of corn to be crossed
are planted in alternate rows, apart
from any other corn. When the
plants begin to tassel the tassels are
cut all off the stalks of one va
riety-the White Dent, for example,
Thus the silk of the dent corn will
be polenized only but the pollen of
other kind of corn planted. The ears
growing on the dent corn stocks will
be cross between the dent and the
Manadan varities and it is these that
should be used for seed.
The greater difference between the
lands crossed, the better the results
according to Mr.. Waldron. The IA
per cent increase was obtained with
the cross mentioned above but an
! other cross which gave good results
was that Of the same dent corn with
Mercer Flint.
Mr.. Waldron suggested thar if he
work of cross breeding is too COM
plicated for each farmer to do, it
might pay certain farmers to make
a practice Of raising sucn cross seed
to sell.
Incidently, the Indnans knew of
the advantage of cross breeding corn,
according to Mr.. Waldron. .-
