E. C. Krueger arrived here on
Friday of last week to spend a few
weeks looking after his section of
land just west of town which pro
duced a fair crop this year, and on
which the harvesting is about com
pleted. Mr. Knieger had been lo
cated at Sprin^fleld, 111., during the
past few ears, or since he graduat
ed from the palmer School of Chir
opractic, but has been spending the
past few months in Colorado.
Dr. C. E. Christesen of east of
town has already opened offices at
Kenmare, and is now making regu
lar visits to the goose neck- town I
several times each week. Many of
his old patients residing near this
city are driving to Kenmare to re
ceive treatments, and are urging the
doctor to also open an office in Bow
bells.
Cashier C. E. Hovland of the
First State Bank of Coteau trans
acted business in Bowbells on Wed
nesday of this week, and dropped
into The Tribune office to see how
us Nonpartisans were getting along.
Mr. Hovland has never had much
time for the Nonpartisan league
since this organization was started,
and does not hesitate in telling his
friends about it. Because there
are a large number of league mem
bers in the vicinity of Coteau Mr.
Hovland has occaslo'n to argue with
such members several times a week,
and naturally is getting this argu
ing business down pretty good. We
.noticed a big improvement in his
arguing ability slice his last vibit
to our office.
Our good friend Alva Mitchell,
the skunk trapper from Clayton
township, was fa town on Monday
of this week and stopped §t this of
fice-long enough to say "Hello, you
Socialists," and then walked right
out again We presume he was un.
usually busy, otherwise he would
have stopped longer and told us
about the troubles hf bad been hav
ing with his friends, W. B. White,
Jim Uglum, John Christ and others.
During the past several years Alva
has been spending his rammers
working for Billy White, and has
been spendfng his time (during -ihe
wfaters with the skunks. He has
the reputation of being the ,, beat
skunk trapper in the state. Last
spring Alva quit working, tor Mr.
Whitp, and for some weeks super
V vised the construction ofabarn on
the, W Riebe place. We also
i leani that he has rented the Riebe
,V fartt for. the coming season, and
may get married during the winter.
We do inpt know just what he is
doing right now, but he appeared
to be At an awful hurry, and we
sunpose that like all the' other en
terprising residents of Clayton he
wanted to ret back on the new

John Schmidt, the popular shoe
maker and Wear-tt-Well shoe agent
is enjoying a treme'nduous business
in shoe sales, and the number of
people that come to his place each
week to buy shoes probably surprise
hiin as much as they do many other
people. Mr. Schmidt has sold sev
eral hundred pair of shoes during
the past few weeks, and new cus
tomers are coming in every week.
He is not worrying a'ny about the
old ones, and he knows they will all
come back. Mr. Schmidt has real
shoe value to offer, and is glad to
sho^r his goods whether you buy or
not.
Dr. Krofi, dentist, is now spend
ing his entire time at his office at
Kenmare. 9tf
After a rest of a few weeks the
people at Coteau are again to have

dances on Saturday of this week at
which the Bowbells-Coteau orches
tra will furnish the music. Every
body is cordially invited to be pres
ent, and a big time- is assured to all
who come.
The secret of success is to be

Supt. Li. L. Hydle, who is divid
ing his time during his summer va
cation between Grand Forks, N. D„
and Reserve. Mont., arrived here
Saturday morning io spend a few
days visiting with friends. He tells
The Tribune that he intends'to spend
the balance o? the summer at Grand
Forks, and that he does not intend
to follow school work during the
foming winter.
The Catholic Ladies Altar Society
will meet with Mrs. Jerry Donovan
on Thursday of next week (Aug. 28)
at the usual hour. All members
are requested to be. present.
Practically all the threshing rigs
in this section of the county are al
ready at w6rk and with the favor
able weather to contend with the
grain is being put through the ma
chines at a very rapid rate. In
most cases the grain is yielding a
bushel or two less to the acre than
what was estimated at harvesting
.time, and in some cases the grain
did not fill any too well on account
of the rust. Taken as a whole there
will be several timeB as much grain
threshed here this year as there
was last fall or the fall before.
N. L. Simonson and family spent
a few days the fore part of the week
at Lake Carlyle, Sask., bathing,
fishing and visiting with the In
dians.
Our good friend H. Kpstad of
Portal township, one of the most
prominent and influential citizens
of that community writes us that he
has a neighbor northwest of Lig
nite by the name of Palmer Lee,
who a year ago could not be draft
ed to fight. He had to stay home
and raise wild oats, but now this I
summer he wants war right there in
Portal township. Our informant
tells us further that this young man
is running around with hardwood
clubs looking for trouble, KOS-.
tad also says that Palmer swung a
wagon spoke at him in the Kostatt
field and threatened to shoot and
kill him, and made other threats
just as bad. Mr. Kostad believes
that the people should be warned
against a young man like Palmer.
Register of Deeds Thomas Peter
sen brought fn a handful of wheat
a few days ago which he had se
cured at the J. J. Siverling farm
where the 1919 cron was being
threshed, and showed same to The
Tribune editor. It will probably
grade No. 2 or No. 3, and is much
like a lot of other grain that was
hit by the rust this year and did
not fill properly. It grades con
siderably better than the D. Feed
wheat which Prof. Ladd of the Ag
ricultural Collegia two years ago
said would! make just as much and
just as good flour as No. 1- h§rd
wheait, and Mr. Peterson was pon
dering why the elevators were not
paying as much for the No. 3 as
they were for No! 1 if it was in ev
ery way Jtwt as good tor making
flour. The^Tribune is unable to
tell just what the trouble is, but one
thfag is sure. Prof.* Ladd either
didn't know what he wan talking
about tifo years ago or if he did
he wrote articles tor tJ^ newspapers
in order to deceive the people of
the state.' If what he said at that
time about the flour made out of D,
Fe^d wheat Is true, then the ^leva
tors are not pav'ng what they should
for w&eat grades lower than No. 1.
There la something wrong some

J. P. MeCusker, who tor hiany
years was a resident of BowbellB,
but who durihg the past six years
or more has been residing near
Amulet, Sask., during which time he
has been In the employ of the Inter
national Harvester Co., spent last
Sunday and Monday in Bowbells
visiting with old friends. While
he was gone Mr. MeCusker proved
up a homestead near Amulet and
his family has been residing on
same until the present time. He
assures us that In spite of the
drouth and other drawbacks in oth
er communities he has always made
big money from his farm, and that
was the only reason he has been
hanging onto it. He also told us
that he always had a warm spot in
his heart for Bowbells, and that if
he ever moved from Amulet he
would come here to live.
A bright baby boy arrived oil
Thursday of last week to gladden
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Smith in this city.
Mrs. Herma'n Johnson, who dur
ing Ike past few years had been em
ployed as assistant at the Bowbells
postoffjee, was last Monday appoint
ed acting postmistress to take the
place of G. A. Kopriva, and took
her oath of office the same day.
The appointment was made by the
bonding pomp
a'ny who furnished the
undertaking for Mr. Kopriva, and
Mrs. Johnson will hold, the place
until the postoffice department ap
points her successor. In the near
future a civil service examination
will be held here as a result of
which it is exnected to fill the local
office. There will no doubt be sev
eral local people who will take the
examinations. Mrs. Johnson's sev
eral years experience as assistant
in the office makes her specially
qualified for the place, and her ap
pointment at this time is meeting
with the approval of the patrons of
the office.
The Burke County State Bank
of this city has also opened up con
nections with the Bank of North
Dakota, and is already writing
^drafts on the state institution.
Gust T. Swenson of northeast of
town has it all figured out that the
proper way to make the maximum
amount of money out of the land
here is to build a silo and raise
more cattle than ever. In talking
with, The Tribune last Saturday he
assured us that if he could see his
way clear to do it he would put up
such a proposition this fall, but in
any event would have a silo before
another year passes. Corn fodder
always grows good here, according
to Mr. Swenson, and an average
crop is six tons to the acre. If this
is put in a silo a farmer has six tons
of feed tor his cattle. On the oth
er hand if it is cut and shocked and
let dry out the shrinkage is about
half and only three tons of feed are
left. At present prices of feed the
silage is worth at least $15 per ton,
and the silo would save the farmer
at least $45 per acre in feed. Ten
to 15 acres will fill the average silo
and the saving in one year will pay
for the cost of construction. Two
silos, on eagh farm would be better,
and the more cattle and silos a man
has the faster he will become inde
pendent of the men who have money
to loan on improved farms. There
are several other farmers who have
this silo business figured out about
the same as Mr. Swenson has, and
we are satisfied that there will be
several of them built here during
the coming year.

A number of school treasurer's
reports will be published in the next
issue of The Tribune. These are
made out by th$ treasurers of each
school district in the coifnty, and
after being approved by the school
board, are mailed to the county
superintendent's office where they
are also approved. They are then
given to a newspaper to publish.
These reports have be6n rather slow
in coming in, and on account of be
ing busy with other work the coun
ty superintendent has been filing
away those which came in until they
could be all looked over at the same
time. In cases where he was re
quested to do so he approved the
Report at once, and mailed it to the
newspaper closest to the district,
and these were published several
weeks ago. Practically all the re
ports are in now, and Mr. Hecht as-*
sures us that he will have most of
them ready for publication next
week.

County Agent G. C. Edwards left
last Sunday for points in Montana
and Canada wherei he will spend a
week or more in looking up sheep
for the farmer's of Burke county,
and may order several carloads
while on this trip. During his ab
sence his office is befng looked af
ter by Cashier J. G. Johnson of the
First State Bank, whose chief dut
ies at the present time are the dis
tribution of laboring men among the.
farmers. Up to the present time
some over a hundred men have
been sent to ^Bowbells by the U. S.
Employment Bureau at the request
of the county agent's office, and all
have been given work either on the
farms or on threshfng rigs. Nearly
all of this number were sent here

more than glad to meet and greet
Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Skinner who ar
rived Wednesday afternoon from
their present home at Bloomington,
111., and are now visiting here. Mr.

their daughter, Mrs. J. M. Millar.
Mr. Skinner assured The Tribune
that both himself and Mrs. Skinner
liked their present location^ fine,
and were perfectly contents'* with
the way things were going with
them at Bloomington. Mr. Skin

much of anything now, but Mrs.

not doing much in particular during
the year until the deer season opens
•each fall, when we are told that he
gets as busy as we ever saw him
here when there was a rush of some
kind on, and he always gets all the
venison the law allows him to get.
His soil Charlie has an excellent
piece of land near Kalispel and is
getting along lovely. Those of us
here who know Charlie are not
worrying any as to how he is get
ting along, as if there ever was a
hustler he is one, and he can be de
pended upon to get the most there
