coast and has been working as
laborer in a factory there since his
arrival. on the coast. According to
friends at Ayr, Mr.. Wilcox had all
other debts paid and was not unduly
financially embarrassed. 1t is be-
lieved that he became respondent
because he had raised a large potato
crop and was unable to sell it be-
cause of the low price.
For more than a week after Mr..
Wilcox disappeared, neighbors and
county officials organized searching
parties and investigated every pos
sible clue, Strawstacks were dug
apart, old buildings searched and
every grove in the district visited on
the theory that he had been killed,
his money taken, his car stolen and
his body hidden. Descriptions of Mr..
Wilcox and his machine were sent all
over the northwest and a special
search was condcted at Valley City
because of rumors that he had gone
there, but his, machine was mot
located until the letter arrived.

Farmer Missing
From Ayr Sends
Wife Word From

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 15.-Ira Wilcox,
farmer near Ayr, who mysteriously
disappeared a month ago, is alive
and safe in California, is working
in a factory there and will return
as soon as ne earns his fare home,
according to a letter received from
him by his wife, she notified Sheriff
Fred Kraemer today. Wilcox's auto
mobile, in which he was last seen, was
left by him in Valley City garage
and his brother left yesterday for that
city to bring it home. according to
advice to Mr.. Kraemer.
The exact location Of Mr.. Wilcox
is not known. He said that ne could

gotten to write, and missing heirs to
estates, and sons for whom mothers
have waited and watched. This is
the story Of one such son-a sailor.
His mother lives in Iceland, and
the last letter she had received was
mailed from San Francisco. Rather
meagre evidence on which to trace
play d in our midst last week, but no
boy whose calling might take him
to any port in the world, but The
Army was not discouraged. The
mothers letter was sent from New
York to Chicago, where an inquiry
to the Sailors Union revealed the
fact that the boy had sailed on'a three
masted schooner for South Africa.
At once letter started off to The
Salvation Army officials there.
Weeks passed, and there came a re-
ply. The boy had reported at South
Africa, but had shipped again for
Australia; The Army officials in
South Africa had forwarded the in
quiry after him. From Melbourne
came the word that he had been in
Sydney. Sydney answered that he
had sailed for Hong Kong. Through
the American consul there it was
learned that he had permanent posi-
tion as lighthouse tender at Shanghai.
So the search that began in Iceland
ended in triumph on the other side of
the world.
A private dective agency could
doubtless have done what The Sal
tion Army did. No special ingenuity
was involved-only patience and an
untiring follow-up. But the fee of the
! private agency would have been a
thousand dollars or more. The cost
to The Army for postage and steno-
grapher's help was probably not more
than $40 all told. Ten dollars to
transform the last years of mothers
life from sorrow to happiness. Is
$40 too much for that?

What Salvation
Army Is Doing

The drive for funds for the Sal
walton Army starts tomorrow under
the direction Of the Elks lodge. For
the purpose of giving our readers
some idea as what kind of work the
Salvation Army is doing we give the
following instance:
To millions of people the street.
corner meeting and the Christmas din
ner for the poor represent the entire
range of The Army's activities. AS
matter Of fact, these are only tiny
part. There are free clinics and
free legal aid for the poor; there is
a constant orderly round visiting
which hunts out distress in corners
SO dark that even the police do not dis
cover them. There APE Industrial
Homes, and Homes where babies are
born without a name. And there is
an International Inquiry Bureau of
Missing Friends, with over 10000
local branches in 73 countries and COL
onies, where some AZ languages are
spoken, devoted to the worldwide
task Of reuniting the separated and
healing old wounds.

officer and soldier is part of the
network by which slums are searched

Disabled Vets Plan Settlement on
N. ID. Lands

Plans are under way whereby 60
North Dakota disabled ex-service men
now taking agricultural courses at
the North Dakota Agricultural COL
lege can complete their training while
living on their land and have their
training brought to them, according
to T. W. Thordarson, coordinator at
the college.
In order that the training be given
the men while living on their land
it is required that there be 10 men
living in community. Under these
conditions the government will allow
the usual training pay of 800 a
month, books, and pay the training
costs. An allowance of $500 a year
will be made for equipment and any
part of this not used in the purchase
Of books can be used to purchase ma
chinery and equipment for farming.
Settlements have been organized
and started at Moose Lake and Nc
Grath, MINI. Plans ARE now being
worked out for such settlement at
Armenia, N. D., where 80 of the agri-
cultural college men went for land
inspection tour last Saturday.
The three essentials to successful
land settlement, says Mr.. Thompson,
formerly in land settlement work for
the Northern Pacific railway, are: 1.
The land must not be misrepresented
to the settler. 2. Long time pay
ments must be provided to insure the
settler against the possibilities of un.
favorable "sesons during the first
years. 8. Service must be available
to help the stranger to meet the diff
ficulties peculiar to the. type of farm
ing and the locality which is new to
him. Such expert service is avail
able from the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college.
"We recommend two types of farm
ing for the wounded men going out
in these colonies" said Mr.. Thord-
arson. Dairying is suggested for the
men whose physical condition will al
low them to carry on in this line. For
others we suggest poultry, bees and
fruit"
"North Dakota has possibilities not
widely recognized in bees and berries
while the dairy possibilities have been
widely emphasized .during the past
few years."

can he do otherwise? He is a splendid
individual, showing his aristocratic
breeding in every line Of his conforma-

sire's granddam is a double milk
champion, having twice exceeded the
7-day milk record Of any other COW.
She is the world champion milk pro-
ducer for any period from z to 100
days and is the only COW who has at
five different location periods pro-
duced a 7-day official record not low
Ell than 33 lbs, of butter.
Mr.. Gilbertson's bull is sired by an
animal carries more of May Echo
Sylvia's blood than any other bull and
is out of heifer whose five older
sisters have all produced over 1000
lbs. Of butter and over $4,000 lbs.
of milk in year and whose sire has
three sisters that average 10000 lbs.
of milk in year, and wose dam her
self great producer, is from the
first cow to produce 2S,540 lbs. of
milk as 4-year-old in 365 days. Go
back in his pedigree eight generations
and you will find nothing but good

blood of all world milking champions
over all breeds and all ages for from
z to 365 days. His dams 2-year-old
sister holds the worlds record for
her age for milking production in the
yearly division.
This is one Of the last sons of the
$106,000.00 bull to be sold. We are
glad to have so excellent a represen.
