Mr. Hall is particularly interested | in the development of the community! sales idea, “In these community sales, held once a month, the whole town becomes | one big department store,” Mr. Hall} said. “Each store has its particular! line of goods. Such sales have pro-| duced thousands of dollars of revenue | monthly. They do not only naturally | bcom the town and bring in business that might go to the mail-order house, | but the sales act as a consistent stim- ulus to business.” Urging a get-together spirit upon | the part of all business men, Mr. Hall} declared that there is “just as much! need for patriotism now as at the be-! ginning of the war. People must take | off their coats, roll up their sleeves and forget petty jealousies in these | times.” Talks With Mr. Nestos. Mr. Hall a few days ago had the ovortunity of talking to Governor- | elect R. A. Nestos,. They discussed | the harmful advertising that North! Dakota has received in other parts of | the country and methods of counter- acting it, The Town Criers clubs of; the stae have a big opportunity to ad! in this, he said. As head of one of the largest di-/ visions of the Associated Advertising | Clubs of the World Mr. Hall has made| a close study of retail advertising and selling and the Town Criers club! feel that his message will be of, vital; interest and much help to all persons! in the city engaged in selling. i BQUITY GIVEN $4,000 REFUND Auditing Board Votes Money| Back Following Court Action \ Refund of approximately $4,000 has! been made to the Equity Cooperative!

Hoople, N.'D., Noy. 14—George H Hoople, manager of the state demon- stration farm here, could sel] all the potatoes he grew this year on farm at 50 cents a bushel, and make a net profit of $89.83-per acre. As it is, Mr, Hoople has sold some of the crop| and is storing the remainder for the higher market which he.expects in the spring. ’ The demonstration farm, conlubtal by the North Dakota’ Agricultural: Bx periment Station, produced 265. bush.) eis OL Marly Unio potatoes per acre this year. Potatoes have never failed a profit in the ten years hey have been grown on the Hoople Demonstration farm, the average pro- fit for this ten year period bein; more than $55.an acre. Even in 1920, seed potatoes costing $4 a bush- el, a small crop due to drouth, and; low market prices in the fall, a pro-/ fit of $8.47 was shown. Careful so- lection and treatment of the sced, and crop rotation, are responsible for the good record made by the potato dem- onstration farm, according to Mr. Hoople. The soil is a light loam that is. ideal for gnowing potatoes. The seed was hand selected, and treated with bichloride of mercury to prevent disease. A five year rotation is used on the Hoople demonstration’ farm, with the potato crop used to prepare the land for wheat the following year. The rotation is sweet clover or alfalfa, potatoes, wheat, and flax. This year's potato field grew mixed alfalfa and sweet clover Itst year. The field was “skin” plowed last fall. Ten loads per acre of manure was applied to the plowed ground, this being the only time in the five year rotation manure is applied. ‘The field was plowed again May 23, seven to eight inches deep, and harrowed twice the second day after. The potatoes were planted May 27, at the rate of 12 busheis of seed per acre. The field was culti- vated June 7-8, harrowed twice June 9, again June 20, weeded June 21, cul- tivated June 28, -¢prayed: with dry paris green June 29, wesded July 2, sprayed again July 9, and cultivated July 13. “Potatoes are being used in the ro- tation system of six of the 20 dem- onstration farms, because they fit well into the rotation, and the soil and cli- mate conditions’ at these farms favor the prodtction of a large crop of ex- cellent potatoes,” said Edg: superintendent of the demon: rms, a recent visitor here. this year on the other farms follow: Larimore, 215 dushels; Rugby, 147; Carrington, 147.8; Wahpeton, 12 | Arnegard, $8." | The fields at the Hoople demonstra- ‘tion farm contain four acres each with ARBUCKLE TRIAL PRIN: RUM RUNNERS KILL OWN GAME, SAYS LICENSE DEPARTMENY HEAD the | frem a information | tomobile of F.

Mrs. “Minta Durfee Arbuckle, wife of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, smiled reminiscently ‘as she told the love story of the “way of a fat man witha maid.” - She hurried here from New York after her husband's arrest and was at his: side at Arbuckie’s trial on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the’ death of Virginia Rappe.
