SCOBEY FARMER
SECURES PATENT
FOR GRAIN MIXER
Scobey.—Orr Burgett, one of the
county's best farmres, has just receiv
ed a patent from the federal bureau
at Washington, for a £r<*in treater
and mixer which he invented and built
for his own use.
Mr. Bürget did not secure a patent
until he was well satisfied with the
work of the machine and had used
it for four consecutive seasons.
The device is a simple and useful
contrivance for treating grain with
copper carbonate without loss of time
during seeding operations.
It is an octagonal cylinder firmly
fastened to wheels at either end to
be used as a conveyance for hauling
grain to the field. The grain and the
copper carbonate are put into the cyl
inder by means of a perfect fitting
door, and by the time the field is
reached the grain is thoroughly mixed.
It holds sufficient for one day's seed
ing. •
By using the mixer conveyor the
unpleasant task of mixing the old way
is avoided and there is no extra hand
ling of the grain.
Some of the machines have been
built and can be see at the local Inm

REUNION AT MINOT
Accidents Bring Formetr Outlook
Raymond Neighbors Together Af
ter 14 Years.
Minot, N. D., April 10.—A story of
a chance meeting in a hospital ward
of two men, former neighbors, after
14 years of separation, is being told
in Minot by William Syme of Chit
look, Mont., and Calvin Nichols of Mi
not, who themselves are the story's
principal characters. Their meeting
took place in a Minot hospital, where
both men are patients.
Eighteen years or more ago the
two men filed on claims near the pres
ent station of Raymond, Mont. Liv
ing only three miles apart in their
little homestead shacks, in a country
where human beings were few and
far between, they were close neigh
bors, until Nichols proved up on his
claim and moved away. Syme re
mained and still makes his home
there.
Syme has spent many weeks in the
hospital here, having been brought
here after he received severe injuries ]
j in a mine explosion. He confided to
i the nurse and to his few visitors that
I he wished he could see someone whom
. he knew.
j Wednesday evening that opportuni
ty came when Mr. Nichols entered
the ward as a patient. Neither rec
ognized the other at first, but Syme
was sure he had "heard that voice be
fore," and it wasn't long until they
discovered each other.
Nichols' home is at 325 Sixth street
northwest. He and his wife came to
Minot about a year ago from Willis
ton. He had been earning a liveli
hood by doing trucking of various
kinds. Last December he met with
an accident which has since kept him
completely disabled. He was run ov
er by a motorcycle, his leg was brok
en, his head was hujfc and he suffered
serious internal injuries, which have
recently made an operation necessary.
It will be a year or more probably,
before he can go back to trucking
again.
Syme had his eyes hurt, his arm
broken, and received other injuries
when he was struck by chunks of lig
nite in a mine where he was working.
Recently the removal of one eye was
necessary, but the surgeon has sue
ceeded in saving the use of the other.
He operates a farm and works in coal
mines in the winter time to support
his wife and their 11 children. _
Last week the owner of the mine
where Syme was employed, Charles
Seaberg of Outlook, and his wife drove
to Minot to visit the injured man.
When Mr. Seaberg walked into the
ward, there he found Nichols, whom.
he also had known when the latter
lived in Montana.
SPIRITED SCHOOL ELEC

1A 1 ovuDL I
„ , . _ A . „„ _
Scobey, April 10.—District No.
which includes Scobey, had an excit
ing school election, which involved the
election of two members of the school
board, one for a three-year and one
a two-year term. Boland Olsen and
Hale Nelson, who filed to succeed
themselves, were contested by Forrest
Ford, a member of the Hellekson,
Lumber company, and R. Lear, of the
Egland Lumber Company.
Nelson is city policeman.
Ford and Lear were elected.
Scobey expects to build a modem
school building soon. With a wet and
dry issue, charges of graft and per
sonalities injected into the election,
the result was the largest vote ever
recorded at a school election in Sco
bey.
an
thropolcgist, whose studies, of women
have added to his international fame,
has been in New York long enough to
arrive at a conclusion, that, despite
her publicized "freedom," cigarets,
gin and exposed silken knees, the Am
erican girl is positively grandmother
ish compared to her British sisters.
The American sheik, however, gets
advanced rating. The super-so
phisticatde city type male is more
forward than his primitive cousin, Dr.
Briffault believes. His amorous an
tics would bring a blush to the cheek
of a caveman.

FARM CO-OPERATIVES
SEEK FEDERAL AID
Washington — (FP)—Equal tariff
privileges with the manufacturing in
dustries, revision of the federal farm
loan system and discon-.nuance of de
velopment of federal irrigation and
reclamation projects until lands
under cultivation are put on a profit
able basis, are the three major de
mands to put up to Congress by the
new National Chamber of Agricultur
al Cooperatives. Their legislative
' logram has been made public by C.
O. Moser of Dallas, president and
general manage: of tue American
Cotton Growers' Exchange, and Chas.
W. Holman of Washington, secretary
i of the National Cooperative Milk Pro
Peers' Federation. These two spokes
i men have asked the House and Sen
ate committees to grant them special
hearings on their rural credit de
mands.
In order that the federal rural
credit machinery may provide ade
j Quate productive credit marketing
■ credit, and credit to enable coopera
tives to expand their ownership and
operation of physical properties, the
Chamber asks:
L The separation of the 12 feder
Intermediate Çredit banks from
the 12 Federal Land banks,
.2. Creation of a federal interme
diate credit board, a separate and in
dependent body to supervise the fed
er& l intermediate credit banks,
Establishment of a $3,000,000,
000 revolving fund to be placed at the
disposal of the federal intermediate
I credit banks, and to be loaned to co
operative associations to enable them
to aC qui re 0I erect various types of
processing plants, warehouses and
1, 0 ther facilities,
4. Authorization to the federal in
j termediate credit banks, whenever
■ needed, to draw upon the treasury in
| sufficient amount to increase their
1 capital s toc*k so that the lending pow
1 er of any single bank would be suf
fi c ient to caie for the needs of the
now
largest coopeiative withia its terri
tory.
5. Reduction of the minimum time
limit on commodity loans now made
by the federal intermediate credit
banks on the security oi warehouse
certificates fiom 6 months to 60 days.
6. Authoi ization to these banks to
lend cooperative associations for mar
keting purposes on warehouse re
ceipts, amounts not over 90% of the
market value of the commodities at
the time the loan is negotiated, pro
vided the commodities so pledged are
hedged on a recognized future con
tract market. The loan limit to be
76% where commodities are not
hedged.
Dealing with export surpluses and
the problem of stabilization corpora
tions for the control of the surpluses,
this farm co-op group decided that
"no plan for surplus control of any
commodity could be permanently ef
ftetive, or even avoid disastrous con
sequences, unless provision is made in
the legislation to control over-produc
tion definitely."
In other words, the new federation
of farm marketing cooperatives is in
favor of a higher tariff on farm pro
ducts, and gentrous aid from the gov
ernment :n processing and storing
crops under the auspices of the coop
eratives, and in paying a higher per
centage to the farmer on warehouse
reciepts. It doubts the possibility of
increasing prices on surplus crops, but
demands restriction of production.
This last is possible only through vol
juntary agreement, which none of the
cooperatives' chiefs now think likely
to be secured in the next cecade.

VALLEY COUNTY
BUYS- 70 ACRES
FOR FAIR SITE
Glasgow, April 10.—Negotiations
were completed for the purchase of a
70-acre tract of land lying north of
the Glasgow flour mill and the Great
Northern railway right of way and
west of the high school by the Val
ley county fair board at a recent
meeting. The property was purchased
from the Lewis brothers. The old
site, north and east of the city, will
be abandoned and the buildings sal
vaged and used in part, in th
struction of necessary structures in
the new location.
According to Fred Weigel, secretary
of the fair bard, it will be necessary
to construct a half-mile dirt track for
the horse racing program. The ex
penditures for new buildings for the
first year will be limited to the most
essential structures. Further im
provements will be made later from
the fair fund. The expense of pur
chasing the new tract and the con
struction of the buildings is to be de
frayed by a special fair tax, levied by
the county commissioners and is not
included in the appropriation of $2,600
recently made by the commissioners
to finance this year's fair.
