He was separator man for the crew and while working around the machine he in some way got his hand caught between one of the pulleys and the belt.

Before he could be liberated the machine had to be stopped and a pulley re moved. He was brought to Wil liston for treatment and placed in the hospital. He is getting along as well as could be expected and his arm may be saved. Almost a Dead One A reader of the Graphic received a letter recently from a friend of his down east and it was full of complaints and regrets. Complaints with his present surroundings and regrets over the fact that he had a chance to come to Williston and failed to grasp the opportunity. He stated in his letter that if he evjer revived, or came to life again he would write. Now what do you think of that? There is at least a little hope left for bitn in that he realizes he is a dead one. He must have been near the dead line when he turned down his chance to com^ to this city. Instead of coming west he invested in a Meat Market way down east. Who ever started him in that direction gave him a bum g$$er and he realizes it now. Jle THE WILLISTON GRAPHIC JOHN A. I VOL. XVI Published Erery Tbnnd» at Willlrton, N- D-. aod Entereod at the Willielon Postoffice as Second Claac Mail Matter. Wflfitfton, N. D* Sept. 8,1910 MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE WORLD The common house fly is the most dangerous animal in the world. It kills mote people tbso all other animals combined. It does it by carrying disease germs as typhoid fever, cholera infantum, tuberculosis, etc. It breeds in ma nure, privy vaults and filth so that it is loaded up with germs from the first. The place that it makes for is the kitchen and on to the food where it leaves a trail of the germs from the manure, privy vault or other filth that it may have been in. When the germs get on to-the food they are sure to get into our bodies and if we are not in the best of health and vigor the disease is apt to get a start and to run its course. It is not safe to eat food that the flies have been on. They must be kept out of our houses if we are to keep well and especially if baby is to escape cholera infan tum, which is a summer disease as that is the only time that the flies are around to carry the germs. In town it is not so difficult to get rid of flies as there the manure and filth that they breed in can be removed. AFTER DAIRY CATTLE Having heard of the drought and the lack of forage Missourians are in North Dakota after dairy cattle. They figure the people will be foolish enough to part with their stock and take a chance of securing others next spring. Wisconsin, northern Minnesota, both Dakotas and Wyom ing are being invaded by the Missourians, says the Fargo Forum. They are seeking to purchase 100 carloads. They expect to secure them on an average price of $35 per head. These cattle are to be turned over to the dairymen of Mis souri, who have a great abundance of feed. It is nice and thoughtful of the Missourians to come all the way up here to North Dakota to take away dairy cat tle. Few Flickertails will be foolish enough to part with their herds. While it is true that forage is scarce it will be cheaper to purchase feed and keep the cattle than to sell the nnim^Is for any kind of a price—much less the low figures the Missourians expect to pay. To dispose of a $60 or a $75 cow for half its value when it could be kept for $10 or $15 worth of feed would not be very good financiering. Then having sold the cattle this fall, next year when the North Dakota farmers wanted to restock they would have to pay exorbitant prices for anything they got. There would be difficulty in securing sound and healthy animals and those purchased would not be acclimated. The dairying industry in North Dakota is in its merest infancy. Its development should be rapid, now that the farmers are beginning to appreciate some of its advantages. In a few years it should add annually hundreds of thousands of dollars to the income of the people who are engaged in the work. To insure success every head of dairy cattle now in the state should be retained. No. 11 says the weather is hot enough there to melt a wooden Indian. We will venture to say that it don't faze him, for anyone but a wooden man would have seen bis chance when offered and "Gone West to Grow up With the Coun try." He says he don't know whether to live in hope or die in despair. Well,^before doing the latter he had better sell his meat market, get a (steak) and come to Williston, just to see what golden opportunities he missed by not heeding the call of his friends. Automobile Livery. G. E. Yonker of Harvey, has opened up an auto livery in the city and is prepared to make trips anywhere. He uses the Ford cars. Anyone wanting his ser vice should phone 67.
