It's a pretty poor car
indeed that wont make
a good showing in a sales
man's demonstration.
But it takes a pretty
good car to travel 20,000
miles and please you as
well at the end as it did
in the beginning.
Chalmers cars stand this test.
Hundreds are driven this far
every year. Some have been
driven as high as 140,000 miles
and are still in daily service.
You can pay almost any
price for a motor car, but even
the highest priced won't carry
you 20,000 miles in more com
fort with greater economy, or
with less mechanical attention
than the medium-priced Chal
mers "Thirty-Six."
No lower priced car will give
you equal comfort, economy
and reliability.

and expense than a Chalmers "Thirty-Six"?

The case against J. A. McGreg
or, county auditor of Billings
county, for illegally taking fees,
has again been postponed at Dick
inson.
It is expected that B. C. Pen
dleton will be appointed post
master at Snow, Billing County,
and that the office will be taken
a mile north to his farm on the
15th of April. Mat Restuben, the
present incumbent, has resigned
and is closing out his store pre
paratory to moving to Belfield.
Grand Forks is to be the home
of a new manufacturing industry
that bids fair to be one of the
most important in the state. It
is the manufacture of paper pulp
from flax straw, and the plant will
be in operation within a short
time. The Northwestern Paper
and Fibre company, organized un
der the laws of South Dakota,
with head offices in Chicago and
with a capitalizatioin or $ 100.000,
is backing the enterprise. None
of the stock is for sale.

J. B. Harmpn, the well known
resident of Billings county, was
able to leave the Stein hospital
Wednesday for his home at Me
dora. He has been receiving
treatment here since the first of
February and his friends will be
glad to know that he is much im
proved. Mrs. Harmon has been
with her husband and accompan
ied him home to Medora on
Wednesday.—Dickinson Press.
It is now practically assured
that Glendive will not get a new
depot from the Northern Pacific
company for the present year at
least. Ransom county farmers
have organized a County Corn
Growers Association, and the new
organization will attempt to de
velop & variety of corn especially
adapted to the climate in North
Dakota. It is the purpose then
to grow the variety in sufficient
quantities to furnish seed for the
whole state.
Under the Montana law which
has gone into effect through the
signature of Governor Stewart,
senate bill No. 20 the legal rate
of interest in the state of Montana
from this time on will be 1 2 per
cent—or less. This means that
heretofore there has been no limit
except what the lender made al
though on legal judgments the
steel axles, extra large
brakes—these and many
other features of design
secure the mechanical ex
cellence of the Chalmers.
Large valves, new style
Chalmers piston rings,
improved carburetor,Tim
ken bearings throughout
the running gear—these are
some of the Chalmers features
which make for economy.
Turkish cushions, 11-inch
upholstery, long wheel base,
large wheels and tires, long, flex
ible springs—these are the things
which make your Chalmers
"Thirty-Six" comfortable. None
more so.
Try the Chalmers "Thirty
Six" for 20,000 miles. By that
time you will be agreed with us
that no car at any price offers
as much real automobile value
for the money.

A contest that is attracting the
most attention among the demo
crats of the state is over the U.
S. district attorneyship. The
race has apparently narrowed
down to M. A. Hildreth of Fargo
and T. D- Casey of Dickinson.
Many years ago, while a resident
of Grafton, Casey had the honor
of being the only democrat in
either branch of the legislature. It
is figured that the selection of
Doyle for marshal will be some
what favorable to Hildreth for the
attorneyship, as that one or the
other positions is likely to be
given a Fargo man. Casey's sup
porters are very enthusiastic, how
ever, over his chances.
Ira Wilson will be county audi
tor of Billings county after April
7 th and will make his home at
Medora for the next two years at
least. It is understood that he
will appoint J. A. Beery as deputy
Mr. Berry having acted in that
capacity for Mr. McGregor for
several years. Mr. Wilson was
nominated and elected on the
farmers' ticket but unlike the oth
er county officials the auditor does
not take his office until April fol
lowing his election. The Chron
icle believes Mr. Wilson will
make Billings county a good aud
itor.
GOLDEN VALLEY CHRONICLE
Members of the .board of coun
ty commi»aibn&rs have given
$200 from county funds to form
the nucleus of $10,000 fund to
be raised by Butte's citizens to
bring Dr. Friederich Friedmann
to that city. Butte has about 2,
000 people who are suffering with
the white plague. More than
two-thirds of this number con
tracted the disease while working
in the copper mines. The move
ment met with popular approval
and within four hours over $1
000 additional was pledged. If
Dr. Friedmann will be unable to
come, a committee of local, phy
sicians will be sent to New York
to watch the demonstrations at
the expense of the Butte public.
AFTER OREGON LAND COM
PANY.
Melrose, Ore. Press: Alleging
that he was hoodwinked as to cli
mate and soil conditions, quality
and values of soil and earning op
portunities William F. Plaman,
of McKenzie, N. D., has filed an
action for $4,000 damages in the
circuit court here against the
Southern Oregon Orchards Com
pany, which in June, 1910, sold
him nineteen acres of Melrose or
chards. Plaman says the land
cost the company from $7.50 to
$30.00 an acre, but that, under
false representations they induc
ed him to enter into a purchas
ing agreement at $150.00 an
acre on which he paid $500.00
down. To make this payment he
says, and to pay the expenses of
himself and family in coming
here, he mortgaged his $3,000
farm in North Dakota for $1,000
and he is about to lose this on a
foreclosure.
Among other things which Pla
man says the company told him
was that the land at Melrose would
yield in the apple crops an aver
age profit of $791.00 an acre for
seven consecutive years, that a
railroad line was being built past
the place and that the lands in
the neighborhood were advanc
ing in price as high as $250.00 an
acre. Upon personal investiga
tion he says he found these as
sertions to be gross falsehoods
and learned that "better" land
in the same location could be
bought for not over $25 an acre.
BIG CHICAGO CONFERENCE.
The great national conference
of farmers that has been called to
meet at Chicago, April 8-10, is
one of the most important gather
ings in the history of American
agriculture. It is important not
only to the farmers themselves,
but to the people at large. Farm
finance has been for long far too
unsatisfactory and methods of
transportation of farm produce,
and marketing conditions in gen
eral, entirely unsuitable for the
greatest good of both producers
and consumers of the food sup
ply of the nation. On the open
ing day the subject for discussion
will be Distribution, on the second

It is not what you eat hut whut you

This conference has been called
by the farm press of the country
and will mark another mile post
in the farmers' forward movement
according to Farm and Home. At
no time has there been so much
interest taken in the cost of liv-,
ing, at no time have the people
been so ready to adopt measures
which are designed tp work out
the relief of the situation. No
one is accusing farmers of getting
too much, as it is a well-known
fact that the proportion of the

final price paid by the consumer
that die fanner gets is very small
indeed. What the farmer needs
is better financial facilities, which
will allow him to produce with
greatest economic advantage.
What the common good demands
is a better system of distribution
less in marketing. The fanners
believe that organized effort is
needed to bring about any im
provement in conditions, and feel
that the financial questions should
be settled first and then that the
question of distribution and mar
keting will be easier of solution.
Co-operatioe Marketing
Co-operative stores have been
conducted successfully in Wiscon
sin for the last 30 years, but only
within two years have they be
come at all numerous, under the
excellent new law. At present
there are 1 7 successful co-opera
tive stores with a total member
ship now of about 7500, an au
thorized capital stock of some
$800,000, and cash capital act
ually paid in of around $400,000.
The stores employ 1 50 clerks and
their volume of business for 1913
will exceed $1,508,000, says
Farm and Home.

half dividend or none
The early co-operative stores in
Wisconsin found hard sledding
because of the lack of
co-opera
tion spirit, limited capital, the col
lapse of the early organized farm,
and labor movement, lack of bus
iness knowledge and practice
among the co-operators, lack of
wholesale houses from which the
retail co-operative stores could
obtain their supplies.
Elements of Success.
All co-operative stores in Am
erica, as in England, thrive best
when they adhere to the Roch
dale principles.
1. Sell goods at current mar
ket prices. This prevents friction
with other merchants. It avoids
the "go-broke" error of selling at
cost plus expense.
2. Begin small, grow slowly
but surely as experience points
the way and as the managers and

Every now and then some-
thing big happens that snaps men up onto
their toes.
Just two years ago the oldest clothing maker in the
country decided to focus the whole force of his organi
zation upon the production of a thoroughly good suit of
clothes for the average American man. All-wool fabrics
were specially selected, hand-tailoring
and expert workmanship were includ
ed in the coat—even the buttonholes
were hand-made. It was found that
this high-grade suit of clothes could
be sold for the low price of $17—
based on volume output.
Now, aftertwoy ears, STYLEPLUS
CLOTHES $17 are sought out in
preference to many clothes selling as
high as $25—the popularity is country
wide. We are sole distributors here.
