entered and about 100000 worth of
merchandise stolen. This is the Sec
ond robbery Of stores in this city
within week, the P. L. Garnas store
being entered few nights previously
and in final check up goods esti-
mated at $500 taken. At the Cooper
ative entrance was gained thru the
transom over the back door. AS at
the Garnas store the robbers were we'll
acquainted with merchandise and took
nothing but the best on the shelves
that could be easily Sold. Suits, over.
coats, shoes, silks and dress goods
were the principal items taken. The
robbery was not discovered until Sun
day afternoon when J. E. Bruton at
tempted to unlock the front door. The
robbers had evidently tried that door
first and had fixed the lock so it would
not open. The authorities were at
once notified but there were practical
ly no clues except that>the car which
was used to carry away the goods
came from the south and returned in
the same direction. The robbers
stopped at the little school building

CHEAPEST WAY TO FEED

Agricultural College, N. D.-How
to feed to get the cheapest beef, but
ter fat, pork and mutton is being dis
cussed by farmers in IS counties in
North Dakota. as result of the feed
ing schools which are being conducted
by the county agricultural agents Of
the state in cooperation with the
North Dakota Extension division.
Revision Of cropping systems so
that the materials necessary for bal
anced rations can be produced entirely
on the farm is being urged and the
best adapted feed crops for each To-
cality is being worked out at these
meetings. Reports received by John
w. Haw, county agent leader, from a
number of the field agents indicate
that the farmers are showing great
interest in this work, due to the pres
ent low prices for stock.
Coincident with the holding of feed
ing schools, the farmers are being
urged by the agents to join cooperative
for marketing their prod
ducts so that they may receive great
er returns without increasing the
price to the consumers.

There are few districts in the state
in as good financial condition as
the Minot Special school district, con-
sidering the great value of it's prop
erty. This district is in a position
to bond for $45O,000 and still be with
in the law.
The date for the election to decide
on the bonds is Tuesday, Feb. Fl. The
official notice appears elsewhere in
this issue.
1t is believed that the bonds will
carry. The Association of Commerce
and the Kiwanis clubs have already
given them their endorsement. The
matter is to come before the Rotary
Monday and before other civic or
CARNATIONS. 1t is certain that add
tional room is badly needed for our
schools.

members Of the board of education
Tuesday night. Taking up these out
standing warrants would eliminate the
necessity of the teachers having to

is to cost approximately $10O,O0O.OO.
There is total Of but $6O,OO0.0O
