OUR MONEY

Without a question of a
doubt in our minds, the trans-

be won by Avery.
Walt will lose that rae; he
will be obliged to hunbIy

couth way, to Mrs. Blossom.
While she may not accept
him, he at least viii no bng-

DO YOU KEEP
CHICKENS?

What kind! No matter
what kind of chickens, they
have to eat. However, when

had in mind the feathered
variety.
This week we are calling to
your attention The developing
mash. If you have a few
young birds that you wish to
bring to maturity early, no.
thing will help SO much as
Sperry's Developing Mash.

sack or two now while the
getting is good.

FAMILY Of FLORIDA
FLOGG|NC VICTIM
RECEIVES $4,000

LANGDON, N. D., Nov. 2S.-Pap-
mcnt of $4,000 has been made by
the Putnam Lumber company, Of
Wisconsin, to the ia mily of Martin
Tabert, of Munich, n. D., who died
in convict labor camp conducted
b. the company in Florida, following
a foaging given by Walter Higgin-
botham, whipping boss"
This payment has been accepted
by the T4bert family as settlement
of it's claims against the lumber
company, doing away with any
necessity for court action, according
to an announcement made today by
States Attorney G.. Crimson, of
Cavalier county, who was instru-
mental in having Higginbotham
brought to trial and convicted on a
charge of second degree murder, and
who has since represented the Tabert
family in the negotiations with the
Putnam Lumber company.
The settlement will in no way t.f-
feet the handling of the case of Hig-
ginbotham, who has appealed to
the Florida supreme court to have
the verdict found against him set
aside. This appeal will be strongly
resisted, Mr.. Crimson said.
In a statement made by Benjamin
Tabert, father Of the tlogging vic
tim, the president, directors and
other higher officials of the Putnam
Lumber company are eXOnerated
from having any wilful participa-
ton, or guilty knowledge of Martin
Tabert'S death.

Favorable Weather
Aids Cotton Picking
In Southern States

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Agricultural
conditions in the south during the past week
were summarized today by the department of
agriculture as follows:
The weather during the week ending No
vember u was mostly free from abrupt
changes in temperatures, and was mild for
the season in virtually all sections. although
a moderate cool wave had overspread the in
terror valleys and the south at the week S
close. The temperature averaged above nor
NAL in all sections except in parts of Flor
ida.
Freezing occurred in the southeast, locally
Il far south as central Georgia. but in the
Mississippi and Mississippi states tenn
peratures a. low as 81 degrees were not re-
ported south Of St. Louis, Mo-, extreme
northwestern Arkansas and southern Kansas.
Considerable rain fell over the area be-
tween the Ohio river and the Gulf Of Mex
leo Rain fall was very light along the
south Atlantic coast, and there was very
little precipitation throughout the great
plain area, while none reported from
large sections of the southeast.
The moderately heavy rains in the cast
gulf states were beneficial in supplying
needed moisture for seeding and for germi-
alton and growth Gf fall grains, but mois-
ture was still Insufficient in much of the
Florida peninsular, though rain had set in
over the northwestern portion of that state
Mt the close Of the week. Precipitation was
also helpful over the middle Atlantic coast
area.
Less rainfall and mild temperatures in the
northwestern portion of the cotton belt were
favorable for f, cid WoYk and very good prog
was made in picking. Harvest was
about completed in Texas, except in the
northwestern portion, while the last Of the
cotton crop was bang gathered in Arkansas
earlier than usual. Only scattered fields re-
main to be picked III North Carolina. while
picking has been about two-thirds completed
in New Mexico. Cotton plants continued to
grow in Arizona, while picking and ginning
progressed fayorably in California.
The condition by states:
North Carolna-Ald and favorable for
picNiug cotton: only scattered fields now
m;::nnS unpicked.
Tcxas-Cotton picking made excellent
progress and about completed, except in
northwest.
