MOhall Merry Minstrels to Boost Local
Baseball Club

0. A. Schieber, Mohall merchant,
was in Minot Tuesday and placed an
order for several thousand attractive
programs for a burnt cork production
to be put on by twenty Mohall bust
nessmen in the interests of the Mohall
baseball team.
The production will be put on en-
tirely by local talent, most of whom
have never before faced the glaring
footlights. It takes a mighty brave
man to face a critical audience, es-
pecially when he has never before ap-
peared as an entertainer, but those
Mohall men insist that their baseball
team must be financed.
Mohall will have strong team this
year, which is being organized by j.
H. Foster, business manager.

MADE GOOD INTEREST ON FARM
INVESTMENT DURING II YEARS

J. J. Kann, we'll known financier Of
this city, will put into crop approxi-
mately 5000 acres of land this spring.
A large part of it will be sown to
wheat and other small grain, how
ever, on each farm there will be con-
siderable corn and potatoes. Mr..
Kann owns no large tracts, his farms
being scattered thruout the county
and tenants are in charge OF all OF
them. .
II came to Minot from northeastern
Iowa fourteen years ago and have
been farming ever since. l invested
in considerable North Dakota land for
l believed that l saw a good profit
in owning it. Back at Elkador, Ia,
where I came from it is hard to make
fair percentage on ones investment
in land, notwithstanding the soil is
splendid. Out here in Ward county
you can still find plenty of land that
can be bought at $25 and $50 an acre
and very good land too. have never
failed to make a good profit from my
North Dakota land during the IA years
l have been here, averaging up the
years and find it much easier to make
a good percentage on my investment
than in the land | own in Iowa.
eve need better farming methods
here. We have room for many good
farmers and l believe that they are
coming. l would most certainly ad-
wise them to come to northwestern
North Dakota"
Mr.. Kann is one Of Minot's most
substantial citizens. His name sell
dom gets into print because he never
talks for publication and has no idea
that this is going to appear in print.
What he says, however, carries a
great deal Of weight for he is ultra
conservative.
Mr.. Kann comes from one of the
richest sections in Iowa where he was
interested in farming all his life, un-
til he located in Minot. He is also
interested in large bank in Elkador
Iowa. He informs the Independent
that there is q little town of 200 in
habitants near Elkador, which is seven
miles from railroad. The town
boasts one general store, a garage,
q hardware store and two banks, each
of which have footings of more than
million dollars. These banks are
located in the heart of rich farming
community. Their depositors are
practically all farmers, some Of whom
have $4,000 or $4,000 on deposit.
