Last Friday I started with Dr. Maher to visit tuberculosis sanatoria. He said to me: Think you will look on this as an awful hsre,' replied no, you don't un- derstand.

You have the right to ask this of me and I accept"

Diversity and Cut
Wheat Acreage

Reduction of the wheat acreage
and Investigation of crops are given
by DR.. Alonzo Taylor, director Of
food research Institute of Leland
Stanford University and a member
of the Production Committee of the
Wheat Council of the United States,
as a remedy for the situation in the
leading wheat growing sections.
"Reduce the wheat acreage" DR..
Taylor said. "Emphasize hard wheat;
secure more dairy cows and better
cows; develop fodder crops for the
balanced animal husbandry; raise
more of the farm foods on the farm
and diversity operations in accord
ance with the locality.
Cheap lands and low production
costs in Canada, Argentina and Aus
tralia, he said, are crowding wheat
grown in the United States from the
world market. He advised the wheat
not to think too strongly
on European demand for American
wheat. Other countries, producing
a surplus of wheat, he said, can Of
fer their products to European ma
tions more cheaply than can Ameri-
can farmers.
"The effect on wheat growers in
this country as far as foreign mark
cts are concerned is the same," DR..
Taylor asserted, "as when the open
ing of cheap lands in the middle
west made wheat raising Improbable
in the eastern states. Now Canada
and other countries are doing to the
middle-west what it one did to the
East"

SECOND CROP OF ICE
MAY PROVE FAILURE

There are some disadvantages in
a climate too mild to form CONNER
cial ice. w. F. Lusbey, in charge of
filing the big ice houses of the West
ern Fruit Express here, and his crew
are laid up waiting for cold weather
and a second crop of ice.
The sharp period of early January
put a fine crystal coat on the sur
face of the company's big spring fed
reservoir, west of town, but practi-
cally all of that crop was shipped to
Havre and stations east of here on
the branches. Now with thawing
weather and spring almost here, and
the ice houses with capacity of 49,
900 tons almost empty, there is a
problem to solve. For the present
Mr.. Lusbey will wait on the pleasure
of the weather man, but says they
may be compelled to ship ice from
North Dakota or Minnesota.

K TO CLINIC

A very successful baby clinic was
held at the school house last Satur
day when Miss Caroline Parker. as.
sisted by some of the members of the
Woman's Club, weighed, measured
and examined 40 infants and small
children. Only three of the number
showed a perfect score.
There were so many children ex-
amined in the afternoon that the
clinic lasted until after 7 O'Clock,
and as Miss Parker had to return to
Poplar to finish some work she was
doing there, it has been impossible
to obtain a o detailed story of
the clinic, although it is hoped that
this a be published later on. As
soon as possible Miss Parker plans
to send out cards to the parents
showing the condition of the child
rem.
The cost of the clinic is taken care
of by the fund appropriated under
the Shepard-Towner act, while the
expense of examining the school
children is taken care of by the Mon
Anti-Tuberculosis Society and
comes as a direct result of our
Christmas seal sale.

$500 and were not furnished, so the

the entombment and hear the re-
signed faith of the committal ser
vice uttered.
The nations share in that last mo-
ment was only to stand in silent rev.
erence outside while the tomb receiv-
ed the keeping of an honored Amer
lean.
During the funeral service the
busy life of the nations capital stood
at pause. The drumming guns of
sorrow echoed duly from the distant
hills where Fort Myer lies, guns that
had heralded their echoes at the COM
ing of day with the sombre clamor
of salute to a dead commander.
Wherever the flag flew it was half
masted in token of the nations loss
proclaiming the sorrow of a great ma
TONS people.
Masses of Flowers
About the stricken home and at
the cathedral we're masses of flowers
and wreaths that came pouring in
Wednesday from every nearby city
and town. There were formal pieces
and many simple clusters of fragrant
blossoms.
Among the offeringe were some
from comrades who served in the
great war under the fallen chieftan
and served in the fighting rank of
the nation. They bore such legends
as "To our comrade, F" "To our chief"
and "From his comrades"
The loftiness of the blooms will
not fade unnoticed for the grief
bowed widow willed that these trib-
utes to Woodrow Wilson shall go out
to Walter Reed hospital after the
ceremony to carry their message of
hope and cheer to the wounded men
there as a last token of remembrance
from the chieftan who has passed on
to eternity.

Friends throughout the county will
regret to learn that County Attorney
L. A. Brown, who went to the south

health. Word received from him by
friends state that he has been suffer-

rheumatism, and he has been unable
to handle his legs and arms at all
at times.
When Mr.. Brown left Roosevelt
county he went to his old home in
Oklahoma to spend the holidays with

by the first of next month, but it is
not likely now that he will be back

New Principle
In Seed Cleaning

The Farmers Elevator, Poplar, has
recently installed a Disc Cup Seed
Cleaning device that has drawn the
attention of a large number of farm
ers, and especially farmers who are
interested in increasing the quality
of their seed. This machine, by
small cups of various sizes and shape
attached to revolving discs, makes a
clean separation Of all inert matter
and of all seeds of different sizes
and shapes, of the best quality of
wheat. The only thing that it is
impossible to separate out Of wheat
is other varieties of wheat and bar
ley.
Mr.. Tinker, the man who recently
installed this machine, claims that
these machines are made to attach
right onto separators if desired, and
with the increased use of them will
increase the grade of a large per
cent of grain; that it will also cut
down expenses of handling dockage,
will cut out dockage for the farm
ers and allow farmers to feed this
dockage to their W livestock in
stead of hauling it to town.
All farmers who are interested in
this should if convenient, get Mr..
Tinker to demonstrate the machine,
or write to him regarding the par
In addition these machines
have been recommended very highly
by farmers who have used them, and
by Mr.. Ogaard, the Montana pure
seed bug.-D. B. Noble, Co. Agent.

Woodrow Wilson Dies

Apparently the sick mans first
thought on awakening was to satisfy
himself that he had lear him the
only three persons whose presence
he wants to feel in his last moments.
Except for the broken, fast-pass-
ing figure on the bed, the room hard
" looked like a chamber of death.
Cheerful chintzes draped the win
dows which look to the south, toward
the Potomac and an indigo ridge of
Virginia hills where he used to play.
On the walls are some family pic
trres. that of the first Mrs. Wilson
one of them. The photographs of
his grandchildren look down upon
him.
Desk In Order
In a corner stands a desk, a per-
sonal one, devoted entirely to per-
sonal affairs. Upon it personal pa
pers and books are arranged with
the orderly precision which marked
his nature. Everything lies just as
he left it last when DR.. Grayson or
dered him to bed.
Some one was always on watch in
the sick chamber. Either Mrs. Will
son or DR.. Grayson was there. Two
white capped nurses, the same who
attended the former president dur
ing the critical days of his illness In
the White House, moved noiselessly
about with the professional air OF
efficiency performing their ministra-
tions.
Down stairs a few close relatives
waited and went about with CONVEX
sations in subdued tones. kilograms
and letters poured in by the hum
dreds and were listed and acknowl- |
edged by volunteer secretaries from s
among the family or friends. Call
ing cards by the dozen, many bear
ing names of national note, were
left at the door in person c
by those who left their automobiles C
the bottom of the hill and walked r
up to pay what they sorrowfully V
Knew was a last mark of respect. t
Only Two In Room c
None but DR.. Grayson and Mrs.
Wilson had the freedom of the sick
