senior in the school Of agriculture,
Harper Brush, was second high man

The early residents of Minot, who
knew Mrs. Crokat we'll, will be panied
to learn of her death. The Crokats
located in Minot quarter of a CEN
tury ago and at the time the doctor
first practiced here there were but
two other doctors in Minot, DR.. Hynd-
man and DR.. Windell. Mrs. Crokat
interested herself to a great extent
in her husbands patients and gave of
her services gratuitously in many in
stances. Hundreds of the early set
tiers can thank Mrs. Crokat fully as
much as her distinguished husband
for the part which she took in bring
ing them back to health.
DIR. and Mrs. Crokat moved to San
Diego about Is years ago. Mrs. Gro
kat's health had not been good for

North Dakota Natural Bee State
Saws Grower

Five tons of honey and sixty hives
Of bees is what Mark Andrews, bee
keeper, living five miles northeast of
Mapleton, Cass county, raised from
% hives taken from his bee cellar
this spring.
"Bees can be raised here more
easily than in Wisconsin or Mime
sofa and there is plenty of room for
many more bees around here" said
Mr.. Andrews in answer to inquiries
made Of him by DR.. R. L. Webster,
state entomologist and DR.. Wanda
Weniger, plant pathologist of the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
who visited his apiary enroute to the
poultry and potato show held at Cas-
selton recently.
Mr.. Andrews stated that he had no
losses from wintering his bees last
year. The bees were placed in a well
insulated cellar under the honey
house where they were kept dark,
quiet, dry, and at an even tempera-
ture of about 35 degrees Fahrenheit.
"A man can make money produc-
ing extracted honey at Is cents
wholesale. The public does not yet
appreciate the superior quality of
sweet clover honey so at present our
honey has to compete with the lower
grade sage honey sent in here from
the West which sells at about ter
cents a pound"

important Starch Factory Meeting

The officers and directors of the
Minot Starch Factory met at their
regular office Is First Street S. w.
last evening and after transacting the
regular business, and hearing the re-
ports Of standing committees they
decided to go on with the starch fac
tory at once.
They have secured one of the best
sites in Mnot with railroad facilities,
and every road into town leads right
to the factory. The location being
near the river and one of the most
ideal sites that could be obtained.
The company has also obtained ex-
pert salesman, gentlemen Of the high
est Standard who are familiar with
the business. The stock sales depart
ment will be under the management
of Mr.. f. D. Mason.
Few people realize what a big pro-
ject this is for Minot, and surround
ing country. Many farmers for a
radius of many miles will be interest
ed and benefited 1t is the intention
of the Minot Starch Factory to buy
the field run of potatoes, taking every
potato a farmer raises without any
sorting or extra expense, and pay the
dihCI pllEt; SDOC ScSIl' III oiAis'
way the farmer gets away from sort
ing and extra expense in picking po-
tatoes. He can gather them right
from the fields, haul them into the
starch factory and get his cash and
all potatoes are marketable.
The Minot Starch Factory request
that all farmers pit their potatoes
and fix them 50 they can get cash for
chem in the spring The market may
be much higher in the spring and it
is certainly worth while to take care
Of the potatoes.
On Monday their statesmen under
the management of Mr.. Mason will
start work and explain the starch
factory and it's benefits to Minot, and
to every farmer within the radius of
thirty miles. 1t will mean cash to the
farmer and business for the business
men in Minot, and the advertising
Minot and northwestern North Dako-
ia will receive from the project will
give wonderful results to this COM
munity.
The Directors of the Minot Starch
Factory feel very enthusiastic over
the hearty cooperation and interest
they are receiving at the hands Of
sthe farmers and business men.

Pioneer Mohall Publisher Successful
Mr.. and Mrs. M. 0. Hall, who have
been looking after their interests at
Mohall, will leave soon for their home
at San Diego, Cal. Mr. Hall was the
publisher of the first newspaper at
Mohall, the News, which was IN

was shipped to Kenmare and hauled
to the prairie near where the city OF
Mohall now stands. Mr.. Hall began
printing his paper on the pralrle
when there was not house between
where Mohall now stands and the
Canadian line. He had 700 paid up
subscribers after a few months and
when he disposed of the business, the
News had circulation Of 23OO, one
Of the best weekly lists in the state
at that time. Mr.. Hall always pub

powerful factor in the development
of that section of North Dakota.

Candidates Should Make Known Then
Position

Any candidate for office who has
been placed on the Nonpartisan ticket
by the Leaguers, but who does not
believe in their principles, does not
favor their policies, does not approve
Of their methods, does not support
their candidates, and does not desire
their support as Nonpartisan,
should make public statement to
that effect. He should do this in JUS
tice to the voters, who desire to know
each candidates position on these
questions; in justice to the Nonparti-
san League, which does not wish to
support candidates who will not be
subject to the dictates of the League
leaders; and in justice to himself, be-
cause the time is near at hand when
it will be considered disgrace to
have been Nonpartisan candidate.
No candidate should permit false.

GRACkSMEN LOOT BANK
VAULT AT ROSE GLEN


Rose Glen, N. D., Oct. 14.-After
completely wrecking the large safe in
the Rose Glen State bank here,
cracksmen early this morning looted
the money chest Of approximately
$4,000 in currency, grain checks to-
falling about $4,000 and took notes
valued at nearly 100000 according to
w. G. Corners, president of the insti-
tuition.
The bank carries burglary insur-
ance as we'll as security insurance,
and it is stated that much of the loss
will be covered by this, the security
insurance covering a major part Of
the loss on the notes.

Must Get Re-signatures

Fargo bankers said today that the
theft of the notes would make it
necessary for the bank to go to the
note signers and obtain duplicates,
and that it probably would involve
no financial loss to the bank except
the expense incident to making the
requirements.
The bank is capitalized at $4,000
and has surplus and undivided profits
Of about the same amount, W. G.
Macfadden, secretary Of the North
Dakota Bankers association said. No
insurance is carried with the associa-
ton by the Rose Glen bank, he said.
The notes, which are valueless in
themselves, were undoubtedly taken,
Mr.. Macfadden believes, in order to
secure any liberty loan notes or other
negotiable security which might be
attached to them.
