Marash, Mesopotamia, Oct. 25.— (By Mail,)—One hundred miles of stone roads and several reconstructed steel bridges are among the perman- ent monuments that America will leave in this part of the near east. When the Red Cross arrived here it found that the condition of the highways would hamper its relief operations among the refugee Armen- ians inthis district. So it set about to rebuild stretches of roads between Aintaub, Aleppo and Marash. Capt. Edward Bickel, of Seattle, Washington, was placed in charge of the engineering work. He had to overcome difficulties which would have halted many contractors of pub- lic works in America. There was no male labor, materials were scarce, and small burros and camels were the only means of transport. He settled the labor question by hiring Armenian women, who were PERS WHAT HE * NORTH DAKOTA Clover, An Excuse for Good Local Boost TWO RETURNED SOLDIERS WILL ENTER DUNWQODY Live Boy Will Enter His Prize Pig in State Competi- tion at St. Paul { (Special to Pioneer.) : q Clearbrook, Oct. 26.—After leaving the Clearbrook territory and travel- ing over 100 miles west to Grand Forks, N. D., we failed to see a fork full of clover. There is a reason for this, and that reason is that that sec- tion of our state taking in the prairie f belt to the west of us, including North Dakota cannot grow ‘‘clover.” Qlover is most essential to good farm- ing from all angles, and the country that can produce the clover is.a safe P place in which to invest your money } in: land or otherwise, and especially under present conditions with clover seed selling for better than 43 cents per pound.

Mr. Warner and Peter Larson, the two live wire merchants at Neving, :are home again, and their fine store < i8 now more heavily stocked than 4 ever before with an ever increasing trade. % - The Nelson’s Quality store, Inc., of this place has purchased the store building occupied by Otto Magnuson, at Leonard. They have already 3 opened business there in the John F Yde establishment, until Mr. Magnu- son will be in position to move or dis- pose of his stock. Carl Gunvalson, the popular manager of the Weme store and the all around hustler, John Yde, will manage the Leonard store. This is a good live firm, who will put in a large and first class stock, and 1 will give the Leonard people a store to be proud of, and warranted their ungualified support. This will give this firm three splendid stores, one at ‘Weme, one at Leonard, and one at Clearhrook, the latter being the cen- tral one and headquarters for all con- cerned. Upon Mr. Gunvalson’s re- moval to Leonard we understand that Chester Rusten will take charge of the store at Weme. Here is to suc- cess, boys! Andrew Larson of Crookston, a brother of Mrs. vlaf Engen of this place, visited here a couple of days this week, with her and her genial ‘husband.

Our mar- ket is now rated as the best in the counnty,. if not in this section of the state, in that they are paying all the way from 15 to 30 cents more per hundred than other markets in the county. -The reason is plain and simple. These two men understand their business, pack, ship and sell in such a manner as to win the respect and confidence of the buyers they ship to at any point in the United States.

A big, busy, bouncing, bragd new dray man arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Johnson, Wednesday evening. Everybody well, with Mr. Johnson busier than ever.

A deal has been made here this week in; which the Sandeen Bros. Emil and Willie, will oncg more take charge of the Clearbrook garage.
