V:'- 6et ready for the great est harvest North Dakota ever saw. We can supply your needs. MARTIN Beautiful Homes Near Minot. (Continued From Page 1.) Nick Clouse is praying for dry weather. He has an eighty acre slough which can be cut only in dry years and 80 tons or more can easily be put up from the place. HI Nothing gives a country a more stable appearance than a herd of fine milch cows. You can generally depend that when you see plenty of milch cow?, you will see prosperity, no matter what the season may be. L. B. Tracy has eight fine cows and recently bought a new cream separator. Mr. Tracy's crop looks splendid. Frank Schloer just completed a new house and rumor has it that he will throw off the fetters of single cussedness. D. W. Bowker's farm buildings would do credit to an Iowa farm worth §100 an acre, Tbe tall wind mill, immense barn and ex ceedingly large house gives the place a prosperous air. And why shouldn't Bowker have good buildings. He milks twelve cows and sells $30 worth of butter evsfy month. Mr. Bowker has a BOO acre farm. Nels Hoglund owns two quar ters of land, well improved. His farm home is beautiful. No one has finer crops in the country than he. Five years ago Henry Paris came to this state from Iowa to seek his fortune. He didn't find any gold coins growing on buck brushes, but he found a verita ble gold mine in Mother Earth and he has been digging out gold ever since. He has 300 acres of crop this year. Mr. Paris owns a fine we'l dig ging machine and has cleared np $1000 in this manner during the Eis ast two years, in addition to farming. He is about to build a large addition onto his house, over a well dug at hand. This insures water in sunshine or blizzard. He has afield of oats which will likely average fiu bushels per acre. Wheat, flax, and other crops will likely run about the same as last year. Wm. Kluver has 400 acres of land, fine farm buildings and a splendid crop. Grandmother Tracy is 83 years old, yet she is holding down a claim, doing her own cooking. She lives alone. The venerable lady is spry for one so old and really enjoys homesteading on a North Dakota claim. There is no happier couple on the prairie than Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Paris, wwo formerly lived in Iowa. For years they struggled along in that state trying to get a start but it was hard. They have a very comicrtable home in North Dakota and are getting rich. With a hundred or more chickens, a nice lot of hogs, a good garden cows and fine crops, why should they not be happy? Mr. Paris makes a specialty' of raising field corn and pop corn. Last year he sold quite a lot of the pop corn at good figures. S. W. Nicodemus and Mr. Guth rie are building large barns. Among other places which are worthy of mention are those owned by Jos. Hunt, Henry Scott, John Ward and Mr. Wer ner. The writer did not pass those homes, but hopes to do so soon. We know we have missed mentioninff a lot of good farmers for the simple reason that we did not know who lived at every place, and time forbade us to stop at each place. The above represents Alfred Blaisdell, one of Ward county's successful business men. Mr. Blaisdell is in the limelight of Ward county politics bv reason of his being nominated for secre tary of state on the Republican ticket which assures his election. Mr. Blaisdell for several years has held the position of secre tary of the Ward county repub lican organization, and so well did he do his work that the dele gates were unanimous in choos ing him for secretary of state. Mr. Blaisdell is one of the most prominent young business men of this city, being connected with the Blaisdell-Bird Co., lawyers, abstractors, and real estate dealers. The business of this concern had grown to such pro portions that just last week they let a contract for an elegant new two story business block.
