Breaks in Local Stores

The Bowman Hardware Co. store
On Water street was entered some
time during Thursday night and pair
of opera glasses, hunting knives and
an automatic gun was taken. En-
trance was gained through a rear
window by taking out the glass At
the same time and within few feet
of the above mentioned window
screen was removed from the cellar
window of the store of Poulin &
Laney, the thieves taking from the
basement of this store several pieces
of underwear. Sheriff Mooers was
notified in the morning when the
break was discovered and suspicious
persons, cars and also rooming places
were searched in an effort to locate
the guilty parties. At that time no
definite clue was found. In view of
the fact that many thousands of peo-
pie were in town during the time the
officials believe they have little OPP
portunity to discover who committed
the crime.

Always Glad to Hear

Frank J. Hill of Sentinel Butte.
North Dakota has recently renewed
his subscription and in doing so says
"Well, I am always glad to hear
from my native state of Maine, as
my relatives all live in Somerset
County, or nearly all, and when the
Reporter comes, each week, reminds
me that my father once printed the
Skowhegan paper a long time ago in
1910 and Al, as I have few issues OF
that date. so the present Reporter
is a welcome visitor at my home in
western North Dakota. Many from
the New England states think we are
in the wild, woody west, as we are
west of the had lands, some two hun,
dred miles west of Bismark, the cap
ital The general crops are wheat,
barley, oats, speltz. The farmers
have hard times and seem to pay too
much for what they are compelled to
buy and receive too little for what
they sell, or in other words the dol
lar is not worth one hundred cents
in comparison. 1t seems the farmer
feeds the world and works more
hours than any other class and
maintain should sit at the first table,
and unless the farmer prospers no
other class can prosper long. The
last few years has gone hard for the
farmer and unless there is change
he will be compelled to go out of
business. Many farmers are getting
discouraged with existing conditions.
