"Silos mean better care of cattle
and more live stock in any commun

tary of the North Dakota Better
Farming association, this morning
to The Forum upon his return from
the twin cities where he has been in
the interest of the association. "We
have just placed J. H. Scofield in La
Moure county," said Mr. Cooper,
"and it will be his business to assist
the farmers of pnrl of that county
in the erection of silos. Let me tell
you that silos mean more and better
cattle and live stock of all kind and

Hazelton Celebrates
Another Fourth of July and
another rain. Doesn't it almost
seem that the weather man is at
temping to get in on our Fourth of
July celebrations? Every time we
try to celebrate the Fourth a rain
bobs up. This year was no excep
tion. Most of the local people at
tended the "doings" at Hazelton.
The Linton band went from here, as
did the ball team.
The Hazelton celebration in the
forenoon had all the earmarks of be
ing a rouser. The big parade was
pulled off in the forenoon, two bands
furnising the music. Burk's Uncle
Tom's Cabin band led the procession
followed by their usual street par
ade. Floats of various kinds and
descriptions came next, the Linton
band marching near the middle, of
the line. Several of the business
houses of Hazelton and some of the
lodges put up very attractive floats
and there was the usual comic at
tractions also. One of the features
of the parade was the drill by. a
large number Hazelton school
children. At the close of the parade
the children formed on Main street
and executed some fancy drills. The
two bands kept music in the air
most of the time until noon.
Linton and Hazelton crossed hats
about noon for the first of what was
to be a double header for Hazelton,
Braddock being supposed to meet
them when Linton had finished.
Five innings of the first game had
been finished when the rain ap
peared. As it was, however, the
rain stayed away iong enough for
Linton to adminiBtpr a neat troun
cing to our friends up the line. Not
only was it a trouncing, but it was
a shutout. Hanaon did not pitch for
Hazelton and that handicapped them
to some extent. However, the fact
that Hanson didn't pitch can't very
well excuse them for letting this
bunch hand them a shut-out. The
final score was 5 ot 0. It was a
good game all the way, although
Linton had the edge on things from
the start.
The rain—which was a soaker
spoiled most of the activities for the
rest of the day. About 3 p. m. Uncle
Tom'e Cabin was put on by the show
company and by supper time the
weather had so far improved that it
was possible to pull off a few foot
races. The horse racing, second ball
game and all the literary exercises
were cancelled entirely. One Qf
the supreme court judges had been se
cured to deliver the address. He had
intended to drive by auto from Bis
marck, but the rain spoiled that.
The Linton band rendered a concert
in the afternoon and dancing and
fireworks in the evening finished the
day.
The Linton train was held a couple
of hours in the evening at Hazelton
so that the large crowd from here
who went by train might see moet
of the fun. About one hundred
people w«nt by train and perhaps
half that many more went by auto.
Ihe people in charge of the celebra
tion tried hard to give their gueats
a good time and but for the rain
would no doubt have succeeded ad
mirably. As it was there seemed to
be no complaint and those who were
forced to Btand around in the rain a
part of the day took it in a good
natured manner.
Celebrations were held at Stras
burg, Emmonsburg, Dale, Gayton
and perhaps other points throughout
the county.

The case wa« quarintined this morn
ing.

party of ladies at cards last Satur
day evening.
Mrs. S. E. Brindle and daughter
went to Valley City last week to at
tend the chautauqua.
H. W. Batzer returned last even
ing from a two weeks' visit to bis
old home at Koyalton, Minn.
Mrs. W. L. Yeater entertained a
numhpr of her lady friends at a six
o'clock dinner Tuesday evening.
Ceo. Zirbus, Keith Sherman and
F. J. Kotzein were on a motor trip
to tndan and Ft. Rice the first of
the week.
A crew of men have been at work
excavating the basement for the new
Zirbs building this week. The job
is about half done.
Mrs. Sarah A. Ceil attended the
Methodist camp meeting at James
town the latter part of last week,
returning home Monday evening.
Word was received here last week
of the death of Mrs. Erick Eriekaon,
which occurred at Dagmar, Montana,
Saturday, June 21st, of pneumonia.
Clias. Geil came down from Steele
by auto last Sunday to visit his pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Geil. He
was acompanied by the Misses
Krause, Chas. Loerch and another
young gentleman whone name we
did not learn. Wainwright Geil
made the return trip with them,
coming home next day.
The first message was sent over
the wires of the new branch of the
rural telephone line running west
from Hazelton last Saturday and by
Sunday noon the last of the eleven
phones had been installed and were
in working order. Yesterday the
line was gone over and tightened up,
so that everything is now in ship
shape order.
Sunday was a hoodoo day for the
Hazelton team: At least the hoodoo
lies in the fact that the capital city
bunch of baseballists came down
here and proceeded to turn the tables
on the locals by an unmerciful
slaughter of the innocents, and car
ried off thirteen scores which num
ber is enough to hoodoo any base ball
team, especially if the other fellows
have the thirteen.
Art Corwin, Joseph Powers and
Burnice Bishop returned Tuesday
from their long overland trip to
Hoover, S. D., were they went two
weeks ago to look over some govern
ment land. The entire trip was
made with a team and all told they
traveled about 600 miles. They say
crop conditions in some parts of
South Dakota are very poor—in fact
there are spots where the grain is
entirely burned out—and at no place
along their line of travel did they see
either land or crops that would com
pare favorably with Emmons county.
Two of the young men, Messrs. Pow­

ers and Bishop filed on land near
Hoover, and will probably begin
their residence there late this fall.
The land in Butte county is mostly
rather rough and streaked with
gumbo and gravel, but at the pres
ent time is selling at about ten dol
lars per acre.
Mrs.J. N. Peterson, formerly Miss
Jessie Sandidge, of St. Paul, arrived
in the city last Saturday and is the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Geil
and other Hazelton friends. Mr.
and Mrs. Peterson are former Hazel
ton residents, he having a few years
ago been proprietor of the black
smith shop here, and she before their
marriage besides once holding the
position of county superintendent of
sehooK taught here several terms.
The couple now reside in St. Paul,
where Mr. Peterson is one of the
proprietors of a large machine shop
and is doing well. Mrs. Peterson
left this morning for home.
Tuesday afternoon a farm picnic
and institute was held at the Kurtz
demonstration farm and was at
tended by many of the business men
of the village as well as farmers and
their families from all the surround
ing country. The speakers at the
institute were W. R. Porter, state
BUDerintendent of demonstration
farms of Fargo L. R. Woldron. of
the Dickinson demonstration farm
A. J. Gaumitz, Wells county field
agent of the Better Farming Associ
ation, and J. E. Eastgate, of Fargo.
Their remarks were along the lines
of general farming, crop rotation,
stock raising, dairying and other
items of vital interest to every farm
er. Among other things, the gen
tlemen declared the crops in this
vicinity to be in better condition
than most any part of the state. In
many localities they are almost en
tirely burned out.

May on Monday morning of this
week, at his home about four milea
northwest of town, in his sixty-third
year, Braddock has been called upon
to mourn the loss of a well known
and generally beloved fellow citizen.
Since early in the spring his ap
pearance has in many ways indicated
the general breakdown of a rugged
and well preserved manhood by the
inroad made by the dreaded disease,
cancer of the bowels, bringing to ita
sunset an honorable and well spent
life.
The Budden death of Misa Mildred
Lane occurred at Kintyre Saturday,
J.une.28. She had been suffering for
a short time from an attack of too
silitis, which ultimately developed
into blood poisoning, the result of
the bursting of a blood vessel. Un
til recently she was the very picture
of health and happiness. The news
of her death came as a terrible shock
to the entire community as she was
held in highest esteem and greatly
respected by all who knew her. She
took a very practical interest in the
activities of the Kintyre church and
for this she will be especially re
membered. Our heartfelt sympate'
is extended to the bereaved members
of the family.
