rived in Minneapolis Monday, with her
two little sons from their former
home in Scranton, N. D., found her
self penniless soon after her arrival

change and her baggage check. she
appealed to police and Mrs. Georgi-
ana Sharrot, rolicewoman, cared for
the family while she is making an
effort to obtain employment for the
mother, who went to Minneapolis be-

E. H. Stubblefield, an old friend
of The World, and prosperous farmer
of near Cando, was in the city few
days last week attending the conven-
ton of the grain dealers, and favored
this office with a call. He is chairman
of the Farmers Cooperative Eleva-
tor Co. of Cando, and in spite Of the
tough picking elevators had during
the past two seasons, and in spite Of
having five strong competitors in the
same city, Mr.. Stubblefield's house
made nice profit during both
seasons besides paying patrons of the
elevator trifle higher price for grain
than what was paid in most of the
surrounding town. In years gone
by Mr.. Stubblefield made considerable
money in raising beef cattle, and each
fall and winter bought cattle from
his neighbors for shipment. This
winter he is carrying over 70 head of
cattle in the hopes that the market
goes up in the spring, and unless it
does, he intends to clean up all of
his beef cattle for whatever they
bring, and devote his efforts in the
future entirely to dairy cattle. Right
now MI. stubblefield has his hat in
the ring for sheriff of Towner county,
and says that if he dosen't win the
man ahead of him will have to break
all records in running for office.
