NOW SEEKS FORTUNE

st. Louis, Mo.-Frederick VanBlar-
com, who is suing in the probate court
to regain his freedom and control over
million dollars, has told the story Of his
activities for the last nine years, when
he was either in private Or public sani-
tariums or fugitive from them. The
story includes wanderings over half
the world, when, as q hobo, dish
washer in a restaurant, fireman, ell
gine room oiler on deep-water ships,
roustab0ut, sailor in the United States
navy, and sergeant in the British ex-
peditionary forces, he attempted to
keep secret his identity in an effort to
prevent his return to asylums.
VanBlarcom was born June 20, 1885,
with the proverbial silver spoon in his
mouth. He was the only SON and heir
of Jacob C. VanBlarcom, president of
the Tennessee Central railroad. The
boy had everything in his childhood
that millions could buy. The elder
VanBlarcom died in August, 1908. The
estate was left to his widow, who died
last March, and has never been finally
settled. ...-..
Paved His Own Way.
"When my father died in 1908 was
twenty-three years old and attending
Washington university" VanBlarcom
said. Il Immediately left. college and
attended business school. l pressed
clothes and did bookkeeping at night
to earn my way, as l had been left
only $1,000 as an immediate bequest
from my father. From that time until
my mothers death received no money
from her, and when l was adjudged
Of unsound mind last year my estate
amounted to $l4,500, which l had ac-
cumulated through my own efforts"
VanBlarcom's life has been one Of
almost continuous travel since he left
the business college and began work

ADAMS HARDWARE
SELECTED WIN
CHESTER STORE.

The Adams Hardware of Devils
Lake has been selected as the "Win-
chester Store" here, and hereafter
will have the exclusive agency for all
Winchester products in this city.
Throughout the country the leading
hardware stores are being selected
to sell Winchester goods, and people
here who have in the past admired
guns and ammunition Of this brand
will now be able to secure many
other products here made by the
same company.s
During the war the Winchester Re-
peating Arms Co., was compelled to
increase the size of it's plant to very
large extent in order to take care of
the huge orders coming from the gov
ernment. After the war was over and
tn government orders stopped coming
the company decided to make other
articles besides guns. It was felt that
the name Winchester" had become
lnspearably associated during more
than half century with an article
of distinct personal relation an ar
ticle of direct personal service to the
owenr and one that has established
a peculiar bond of personal affection
with him.
AS John E. Otterson, president of
the company phrased it:
Winchester has always had a deep
personal significance to the pur-
chaser. The article bearing the name
is second only to his friends and his
dog and so we feel that our new
products upon which we put our
name should carry this same per-
sonal appeal.
They should be articles of which
the purchaser makes personal use
SO we have determined to manufac-
ture tools, cutlery, skates, flash
lights, fishing tackles and sporting
goods rather than nails, wire or bulk
hardware"
The Adams Hardware now has on
hand practically all of the products
of the Winchester people, and new
shipments are being received every
few days. In "a very short time
this store will be able to supply every
product Of the Winchester factory.
Every article bearing the Winchester
brand is Internationally guaranteed
to be the best that human hands and
up-to-date machinery can make it,
and nothing better can be secured
anywhere at any price.

VIII EAT SEEDING
NOW GENERAL
IN Lake REGION

The balny weather for several days
the latter part of last week permit
ted the farmers throughout the Lake
Region to do work out in the fields
in harrows, plows and drills, and this
week there is hardly farmer in the
north half of the state but what has
quite an acreage Of wheat seeded al
ready.
Seeding in the southwestern part
of the state where the amount of
moisture received. was not as great
as it was here had been going on
during all Of last week, but here
the season is somewhat later than
usual, and many farmers were COM
PEELED to change their plans regard
ing the amount of wheat to put in. AS
a result of the late season the wheat
acreage in the Lake Region will be
much smaller than during most
years, and this will no doubt cause
the increase Of the acreage Of corn
and other crops.
The average date on which seeding
commences here is April 10, and the
season this year is about two weeks
late,

0v E[:RL.AND CARS
SELLING FAST

Roy F. Barickman of the Barick-
man Motor Co., of this city tells The
World that never during the time he
has been in the automobile business
were prospects for big business any
better than they are right now, and
he says he misses his guess if more
cars are not sold this year than has
been the case for several years.
Several weeks ago he received a
carload of Overland cars, and these
were sold almost as fast as they
were unloaded. He Immediately
ordered another carload, but finds that
the demand far exceeds the supply
and it will be another week or so
before he has any more cars on
hand. In the next carload coming
will be WHY'S Knight sedan, which
has been sold to Fred Mann of this
, city.
The Bariclxn1an's Place has, just
recently been remodeled and repaint-
ed, and presents very neat and at
tractive appearance. He has storage
room for a large number of cars and
has "a modern wash rack and repair
shop in connection. During the past
he has carried quite large stock
of Overland parts on hand at all
! times, but stells us that from now on
he will double this as the number of
cars Of this make increases in this
territory. He is aobut as enthusits-
tic over the prospects, for busy sea-
son as anyone in the city.
