PRACTICAL CO-OPERATION Grand Forks, Oct. 17.—An instance of practical cooperation between far mers and merchants and other busi ness men is found in the inauguration of a local enterprise at Devils Lake. Considerable interest has been devel oped among the farmers of that local ity in recent years in the raising of potatoes, and constantly increasing at tention has been devoted to this crop. It soon became evident, however, that the work was materially hampered by lack of proper storage facilities. Cars were not always available for ship ment direct from the field pitting in volved extra labor and cost and with out protection from frost the crop was subjected to great risks, and holding until cold weather was impos sible. Interest in the subject was arbused in the city as well as in the country, and there was speedy recog nition of the fact that the proper de velopment of this branch of farming was important to all the people of the community. Plans were made for a suitable warehouse, and stock to an amount sufficient to defray the cost of a good building, some $5,000, was purchased by progressive farmers and local business men. No one in the neighborhood was specially anxious to devote his time to the handling of the warehouse, and the property was leas ed to a Grand Forks commission firm which pays a rental sufficient to yield a reasonable interest on the invest ment. Thus, with the investment of a small sum by each of a large number of individuals, an investment which yields a fair cash return, a great dis trict is supplied with an important ad-! dition to its marketing facilities, and the diversification of agriculture throughout a large district is directly promoted. The moral influence of this enterprise is also not without its value, for in a very business-like way the value of co-operation among the vari ous business interests of a community has been demonstrated. The members of the Weso club held a very pleasant meeting on Wednes day night at the home of Mrs. C. A. Bloomberg, on North Sixth avenue. There was a large attendance, about 20 members being present.

Tracy Third Addition Sale of Lots Was a Complete Success I DAZEY For Goodness Sake use KC BAKING POWDER Parity First It will never disappoint you—try it if you like good things to eat. PAiQE THREE The sale of lots of the Tracy's Third addition to Valley City that was conducted by the Home Realty & In vestment Co., of Emporia, Kan., was a success in every particular. Every one of the 70 lots were sold, and it is a conservative estimate to state that in the spring from 15 to 20 houses will be erected on lots in the addition. These homes will be modern and of the very latest class of houses. In addition to the 70 lots sold one was given away. There was no string attached to the gift. All that was nec essary to have a chance to draw the lot was to register and go out to the site and deposit your ticket. The drawing was held at the office of the company in the Wiese & Podratz Pi ano Co. building Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. The judges were H. E. West, Ed Jacobson and S. Varco. The method of drawing was to deposit the numbers and draw 50 from the total, the last one drawn to be the winning number. No. 74 was the fiftieth drawn and was held by W. D. Hone, who was declared the winner. John Tracy was present as attorney-in-fact for the owner of the property and delivered the deed for the free lot. Considering the short time the sale was on it must be admitted to have been remarkably successful. It estab lishes the fact that good real estate in Valley City can be sold at fair prices when business methods are used in conducting sales. This sale was well advertised, the people were shown the tract and bought freely. It is well located, and when built up with a fine class of residences will be one of the nicest residence districts in the city. Sanborn High School Wins From Litchville Sanborn Enterprise: Last Saturday afternoon the local basketball quint began the season right by defeating the Litchville bunch to the tune of 27 to 10. Sanborn's lineup was as fol lows: Paul Olson—center. Orval Siverson—rf. Russell Cramer—If. Lawrence Thoraldsen—rg. Amos Stephan—lg. Our players were in perfect trim :ind at the end of the first half had raised the score to 16 to 6 in San born's favor—of course. In the sec ond half, however, Litchville made a brave, but hopeless, stand for the palm. For 20 furious minutes they raced back and forth trying to gain the lead, but the ball kept rolling into San born's basket so that when the referee blew his whistle the score stood 27 to 10. Although we regret to do so, we admit that Litchville has us beaten in one thing—their collection of yells and songs. Their rooters kept up a continual noise throughout the game, and so far as we could find out, no two yells were alike. Stewart items of Sanborn Enter prise: Mrs. J. H.
