NORTH DAKOTA ON TOP.
Wheat Practically All in the Ground
—Season Favorable, no Spring
Rains, but a Howling 4th of
May Snow Blizzard.
Zion, N. D., May 4th, 1905.
Epiror Star:—For the first time in
many years the farmers of the whole
Northwest have finished sowing wheat
the last week in April and the first
week in May. The season throughout
has been very favorable, though some-
what peculiar, in that some wheat was
sown as early as the last two days in
February and the first week in March.
However, this early sowing was in-
dulged in by comparatively few, and it
has been reported that much of the
seed perished by subsequent hard
freezings, and the fields had to be re-
sown ; but a large majority held off un-
til the middle of April, since which
time the ground has been in excellent
condition to work well.
Last year I had no wheat sown until
the 3rd of May, and finished on the
13th. This year I finished on the 3rd,
with double the acreage of last year.
In the western part of the state, in the
newly developed sections, the acreage
on an average is about 10 per cent.
more than last year, but in the eastern,
central and southern parts of the state
it’s about normal, or slightly less. So
far the season has been rather cool,
grass has been very backward. but
when this blizzard has spent its fury
we may expect mild growing weather
to follow. A snow storm in this lati-
tude is nothing unusual to happen this
time of the year; in fact I remember
one that occurred in old Elk Lick on
the 4th day of May, 1862, and one in
Northern Illinois, 1883, on the 22nd of
the month. The former fall was a foot
or more deep, the latter about 4 inches.
North Dakota will be a scene of great
activity the balance of the present year.
Many miles of railroads are to be built,
already under good headway, and
great preparations are being made to
carry out the irrigation projects in the
western part of the state, and plans for
ditching and draining parts of the Red
River valley and straightening the
channel. Mining, dairying and like in-
dustries are to receive a mighty im-
petus, too. Our larger towns are build-
ing trolley lines, and telephone lines
are being constructed at a rapid rate,
extending through many rural dis-
tricts. Our voting precinct was set off
as a civil township to be known as Zion
township. We, too, are contemplating
a telephone line to connect us with
Cando, and possibly Bisbee. dince we
have a daily mail, some of us take ihe
Grand Forks daily papers, getting them
here on the snme day they are issued.
Thus we are in daily touch with all the
world.
The influx of new settlers to the
various parts of the western and north-
western sections in this state has been
quite large again, and practically all
the choice homestead land is now oc-
cupied by actual settlers. In the older
sections real estate is steadily advanc-
ing as the country improves.
This season the wild geese are seem-
ingly more numerous than usual. They
are here in myriads. The other morn-
ing a large flock covering about five
acres, were feeding on burnt-off stubble
ground, within gunshot of my Kitchen
door, I wished the editor could have
been here to take a snapshot at them
with a double-barreled shotgun. They
remained several hours and were a
pretty sight to behold, white as the
snowdrifts that grace the ground this
morning. One of our citizens had some
tamed wild geese, and last fall the old
gander joined the migration south-
ward ; but this «pring came back again
to his old mate that had staid back.
As I get a good many letters from
various parts of the United States, for
the benefit of my old acquaintances,
who may not be informed of the facts,
I will state that my old cousin, Ezra J.
Berkley, recently died in Waterloo,
Towa. He was a brother to John J.
Keim’s first wife. Mr. Berkley was a
son of Jonathan and Elizabeth Lichty
Berkley, near Somerset. He was mar-
ried to Lydia Miller, daughter of old
Jacob D. Miller. For many years they
lived near Lanark, Ill, and lately had
moved to Waterloo, Towa.
Ephraim Peck, of Falls City, Ne-
braska, states in a letter that if his
father, Elias Peck, lives until the 7th
of this coming August, he will be 90
years old. He still possesses a sound
mind, but otherwise is growing more
feeble with advanciug years.
Samuel D. Boyd, now in the 70’s,
writes from Peck, Idaho, that he is
living on a snug little home, situated
in a canyon where the winter seasons
are mild and of short duration. He is
liying alone, healthy, happy and con-
tented.
Martin Beeghly, oldest son of old
David Beeghly, is living near Ellison,
in this county, and is still a well pre-
served man of his age, also in the 70's.

FOREST FIRES.
A Universal Injury—Hints to Camp-
ers-Out, by F. I. Whitney.
Every summer and autum large
areas of public and private forests are
devastated by fire. This destruction is
a universal injury ; it not only destroys
a valuable asset in the list of the
country’s resources, but is producive
of floods. The forest is the most effec-
tive means of preventing floods and
producing a more regular flow of wa-
ter for irrigation and other useful pur-
poses.
To prevent the mischievous fires,
Congress has enacted a law which for-
bids setting fire to the woods, and for-
bids leaving fires (campfires and
others) without first extinguishing the
same.
The law provides a maximum fine of
$5.000, or imprisonment for two years,
or both, if the fire is set maliciously,
and a fine of $1,000, or imprisonment
for one year, if the fire is due to care-
lessness. It also provides that the
money from these fines goes to the
school funds of the county in which the
offense is committed.
Commissioner W. A, Richards, of the
General Land Office, has issued circu-
lars warning the public against care-
lessnesg, inasmuch as many fires start
from neglected camp-fires, and makes
the following requests:
1. Do not build a larger fire than
you need. :
2. Do not build your fires in dense
masses of pine leaves, duff or other
combustible material, where the fire is
sure to spread.
3. Do not build your fire against
large logs, especially rotten logs, where
it requires much more work and time
to put the fire out than you are willing
to expend, and where you are rarely
quite certhin that the fire is complete-
ly extinguished.
4. In windy weather and in danger-
ous places dig a fire hole and clear off
a place to secure vour fire. Yeu will
save wood and trouble.
5. Every camp fire should be com-
pletely put out before leaving the
camp.
6. Do not build fires to clear off land
and for other similar purposes without
informing the nearest ranger or the
supervisor, so that he may assist your
As hunters, fishers and campers will
soon haunt the woods and streams, it
is hoped that newspapers everywhere
will circulate this warning and infor-
mation.
TERRIFIC RACE WITH DEATH.
“Death was fast approaching,” writes
Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla,
describing his fearful race with death,
“as a result of liver trouble and heart
disease, which had robbed me of sleep
and of all interest in life. I had tried
many different doctors and several
medicines, but got no benefit, until I
began to use Electric Bitters. So won-
derful was their effect, that in three
days I felt like a new man, and today I
am cured of all my troubles.” Guar-

How to Live Long.
Prof. Boyd Layhard, of London, Eng-
land’s leading author of works on hy-
giene, gives these rules for those who
desire to live a healthy and long life:
1. Avoid every kind of excess, es-
‘pecially in eating and drinking.
2. Do not live to eat. Select those
aliments most suitable for nourishing
the body and uot those likely to impair
it.
3. Look upon fresh air as your best
friend. Inhale its life-giving oxygen
as much as possible during the day,
while at night sleep with the bedroom
window open at the top for a space of
at least four or five inches. Follow
this out even in the depth of winter.
It is one of the great secrets of long
life.
4. Be clean both in mind and body.
“Cleanliness is next to godliness.” It
is a fortification against disease.
5. Worry not nor grieve. This ad-
vice may seem but cold philosophy and
to be easier to give than to follow;
nevertheless. I have known persons of
worrying disposition almost entirely
break themselves of it by a simple ef-
fort of the will. Worry kills.
8. Learn to love work and hate indo-
lence. The lazy man never becomes a
centenarian.
7. Have a hobby. A man with a
hobby will never die of senile decay.
He has always something to occupy
either mind or body; therefore they
remain fresh and vigorous.
8. Take regular exercise in the open
air, but avoid overexertion.
9. Keep regular hours, and insure
sufficient sleep.
10. Beware of passion. Remember
that every outbreak shortens life to a
certain degree, while occasionally it is
fatal.
11. Have an object in life. A man
who has no purpose to live for rarely
lives long.
12. Seek a good partner in life, but
not too early.—New York World.

PRIZES FOR PUZZLE SOLVERS.
A Great Scheme Whereby Every
Correct Answer Will Win a
Reward.
The greatest prize scheme for puzzle
solvers ever offered by a newspaper is
that inaugurated recently by the San-
day North American, of Philadelphia.
For a long time that paper has been
presenting each week, a puzzle for
young folks, and has been offering a
long list of prizes. But the answers
grew to be so numerous that many
boys and girls were, of necessity, dis-
appointed. It was not possible to make
a list of prizes to keep up with the in-
crease of correct answers.
Something new had to be invented.
Now, did you ever hear of a Puzzle
Contest in which nobody is disappoint-
ed?
Then it must be Polly Evens’ new
Weekly Puzzle Contest, for hers is the
only one anywhere in which nobody is
disappointed.
Think of it—nobody disappointed!
If you answer a puzzle incorrectly,
you do not look for any reward, of
course ; but if you answer it correctly,
it is but natural that you should ex-
pect to be rewarded, and that you
should feel disappointed if you find
you are not rewarded.
That is what Polly Evans always
thought, and she spent many an hour
trying to devise some plan of prize-
giving that would mean no disappoint-
ed boys and girls.
At last—just a few weeks age—an
idea occurred to her! The North
American approved of it at once, and
the result is that, since April 16—the
day the plan was first announced—
there have been no disappointed chil-
dren in Polly Evans’ Puzzle Contests.
For, thanks to her new system of
Prize Credits, Polly Evans is now able
to reward every boy and every girl who
answers her puzzles correctly.
In brief, the plan is as follows:
You answer Polly Evans’ puzzle cor-
rectly. You may send your answer on
as many coupons cut from the puzzle
page as you please. Polly Evans re-
wards you with a prize credit for every
coupon you send. If you send five
correct coupons to one puzzle, you get
five prize credits. If you send one, you
get one credit. f
In exchange for your prize credits,
you get your choice of hundreds of fine
prizes described in the illustrated Prize
Circular which Polly Evans sends by
mail at the end of each month to every
prize-credit winner.
Besides rewarding you with Prize
Credits, which are exchangeable for
prizes. Polly Evans also awards to the
800 or 400 finest appearing coupons
special prizes and surprises. which are
announced with each weekly puzzle.
And in order to encourage you to
earn as many prize credits as you pos-
sibly can, Polly Evans offers every
month handsome grand special prizes
to the two boys and two girls who win
the highest and next highest number
of prize credits respectively during the
month.
Mr. C. B. Wainwright, of Lemon City,
Fla., has written the manufacturers
that much better results are obtained
from the use of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in
cases of pain in the stomach, colic and
cholera morbus by taking it in water as
hot as it can be drank, That when
taken in this way the effect is double
in rapidity. “It seems to get at the
right spot instantly,” he says. For sale

Seeking an Easy Job.
There are a few easy places in the
world ; when we do find them they are
at the end of the road over which one}
did some very hard traveling. Even
then we come upon them unexpectedly.
The way to the easy place is not by
seeking for it. but by laboring hard
until the work is finished and the day
is done. After labor comes rest—and
we should not seek it until labor is
done. Yet the world is full of folks
seeking soft places. In answer to a
boy’s letter, asking him for help in se-
curing an easy place in which he might
make his mark, Henry Ward Beecher
once wrote this striking paragraph:
“You cannot be an editor; do not try
the law ; do not think of the ministry;
let alone all ships, shops and merchan-
dise; abhor politics; don’t practice
medicine ; be not a farmer nor a me-
chanic, neither be a soldier nor a sail-
or; don’t work, don’t study, don’t!
None of these are easy; my son, you
have come into a hard world. I know
of only one easy place in this world,
and that is the grave.”—Baptist Union.

SAVED BY DYNAMITE.
Sometimes, a flaming city is saved by
dynamiting a space that the fire can’t
cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on so
long, you feel as if nothing but dyna-
mite would cure it. Z.T. Gray, of Cal-
houn, Ga., writes: “My wife had a very
aggravated cough, which kept her
awake nights. Two physicians could
not help her; so she took Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds, which eased her
cough, gave her sleep, and finally cured
her.” Strictly scientific cure for bron-
chitis and La Grippe. At E. H. Mil-

We think plum trees does pay the

man do shake them. The Tribune fur-
ther asks:
Does gardening pay? Does poultry
pay? Does raising stock pay, and what
kind pays best?
Of course gardening pays. It de-
pends a good deal on the lay of the
land. The profit on poultry depends
largely on the lay of the hen. Horse-
radish thrives well in certain localities.
Horses are very fond of it, as it is said
to be a specific for ring-bone and wind-
