People of the state learned to ap- preciate lignite during the war when eastern coal was difficult to obtain and more difficult to pay for, Tests have been made that conclu- sivcly: prove that lignite can be more economically used as fuel in this section of the country than any other grade of coal, Let no true booster of western North Dakota allow a, statement to the contrary | go uncontradicted. The facts may be obtained from the new North Dakota Lignite Coal Operators’ As- sociation. ‘#marck, being on the hub of the! coal fields and the capital of the| state, would welcome the establish: ment of an office here by the coal) operators’; association. | The very laudable spirit of the secretary of the Minot Association of Commerce in offering cooperation in the or- ganization of the association wa3 Bppreciated and it is to be hoped that the operators will receive the strongest cooperation from local} people. Many western North Dakota peo- ple have often turned longing eyes' toward the eastern part of the, state. They might receive a shock} that would be good for them to be informed that there are many visi-| tors to this section who believe that western North Dakota will in the future, because of the development of diversified farming and‘ particu- Jarly the lignite industry, be the most thickty populated portion of the state.

He cites one such institution having, a farm of twelve hundred acres, ‘The inthates, he declares, pretend to work’ elght hours a day. ambition is to quit on time and get back to rest. yThis attitude is not confined to prison labor. If it is common with- in prison walls, it is not uncommon outside of. them, Henry Fora, tor example, teports that he is often asked how he selects various men tory. Mr. Ford replies that he exercises very little conscious selection of men. The daily round of toil sifts| out the slackers and the workers and about all he has to do is to watch the proces; and realize on the results. He is surprised to. find how many men want to be ad- vanced, but are uawilling to pay| the price in sustained energy, ini-| tiative and pluck. Most of them are satisfied to follow the beaten path. That there is a difference be- tween an average and a first-class| man, is generally recognized. More }often than not, this difference i3| attributed to: native endowments or | natural capacity. No doubt these| vary, but the great divide in’ work | comes from the added increment of enthusiasm, interest, .and_ motive | power that some men put into it} and others fail to put in.

Confidence in another man’s vir- own,.—Montaigne. \ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE © BEGIN HERE TODAY A revolver shot was heard two minutes after A ROBERT. ABLETT, brother of j MARK ABLETT, bachelor proprie- tor of The Red House, had -peen ushered into Mark’s office on his return from a 15 years’ absence in Australia. sy ANTONY GILLINGHAM, a gentle- man adventurer and‘ friend of 4 BILL BEVERLEY, one of Mark's guests, arrived at that moment to find t MATT OAYLEY, Mark’s constant companion, pounding. on the locked door of the office'and de- manding admittance. The two men entered the room through @ window and discovered the body, of Robert with a bullet through the head. Mark was not to be found. Antony, who had been invited by Cayley to remain at The Red ‘House with Bill until the inquest is over, refuses to believe the theory of 1n- spector Birch that Mark murdered Robert. Several things arouse his suspicions, If the key of the office door was on the outside, could Mark have locked it? He asks Bill to tell him all he knows of Mark’s charac- teristics. GO ON WITH TIE STORY Bill was silent, wondering how to put in words thoughts which had never formed themselves very defi- nitely in his own mind. Seeing his hesitation, Antony said: “I ought to have warned you that nothing that you say will be taken down by t reporters, so you needn’t bother about a split infini- tive or, two. Talk about anything you like, how you like.” “Well, Mark fancies himself at arranging things. He arranges things,'and it’s understood that the guests fall in with the arrange- ment.” ‘ “Arranging things for you?” “Yes. Of course, it’s a delightful house and opportunities for every game or sport that’s ever been in- vented. But with it all, Tony, there’s a faint sort of feeling that —well, you’ve got to do as you're told.” “How do you mean?” “He's a devil for taking offense. That Miss Norris—did you see her? —she'’s-done for herself. I don’t mind betting what you like that she never comes here again.” “Why?” Bill laughed to himself. “We were all in it, really — at least, Betty and I were. There’s supposed! to be a ghost attached to ne’er-do-=well ‘the house. Lady Anne Patten, Ever heard of her?” “Never.” “Mark told us about her at din- ner one nigkt.

It’s a funny thing to say, but—well, he’s not pig enough for it.” “Suppose it was’ an accident, as Cayley ‘says, would he lose his head and run away?” Bill considered for a moment. “Yes, I reaily think he might, you know.

To find the leaks if there are any. 2. To find out how the efficient Fargo, N. D, Aug, 10.—Wheat farming in North Dégota is- risky | business, Rex Willard. told a meet- ing of investigators and extension workers at the agricultural college here. Every time the farmer | plants an acre of grain he can gam- | ble that it has only forty-four chan- | ces out of every 100 of ever reach- ing maturity—and there are 56 chances against it. This isn’t a pes- simistic guess but a result of ob- | servations made on more than one | hundred widely scattered farms of the state for five years, he said. Here is the conclusion Mr. Willard | reached after going over a long list | of figures from many farms for sev- eral years: bh Cost of per bushel of wheat pro- duction must be reduced or a num- ber of wheat farms in North Dakota will soon be driven out of business. A less acreage of wheat per farm must become the practice. On this less acreage a greater yield per acre must be made. (A fifteen bushel to the acre average is necessary to make.it pay, he said.) On the other acreage a greater di- versity of feed and cultivaged crops, including legumes appears to bé an economic necessity. aising of livestock reduces risk mbre than anything’ else for it is ‘| the surest of all. The meeting here was held to ac- quaint the’ workers with the cost production work the college is doing under Mr. Willard’s supervision, to determine the following: ‘ farmer operates and makes money. 3. To determine. which enter- prises on the farm are profitable and which are net. 4, ‘To determine the size and type of farm that can be operated most efficiently; that is, to get the right balance between the size of the} farm, and the combination of crops to make best use of work stock, buildings and other equipment. 5. To learn what combinations. of enterprise in crops and stock will pay the farm organizations taking costs and risks into consideration. . Farmers Keep Records The farm accounts department of the college has secured the cooper- ation of 135 farmers in the state who have kept records of acreage, number of: head of livestock, mi come from these, amount of work put. upon each crop and class of live- stock, cost of all labor, cost of board, work horses and machinery and overhead. ; } Here are some of the things these figures show, he said: Wheat—Six recorded farms in Ramsey ‘county show little variation | in per acre cost of raising it— $15.03 lowest and $16.48 highest. Difference in yield brought-a greater difference in cost’ per. bushel—$1.09 low and $1.54 high. A | > 4 x “Halloo!” through the door, and came in. “I say, buck up, old boy, I’m, hungry,” he aid. Antony stopped smoothing him— self and looked up at him thought- fully. “Where’s Mark?” he said. » “Mark? "You mean Cayley.” ‘Antony corrected himself with a little laugh. ‘Yes, I mean Cayley. Is he down? I say, I shant be a moment, Bill.” He got up from the bed and went on briskly with his drevsing, - “Oh, by the way,” said Bill, tak- ing his place pn the, bed, “your idea about the keys is a wash-out.” “Why, how do you mean?” “I went down just now and had a look ‘at them. Some: were outside and some inside, and there you are. It makes it much less exciting. When you were talking about it on the lawn, I really got quite keen on| the idea of the key being outside and Mark taking it in with him.” “It’s going to be’:,exciting enough,” said Antony mildly, as he, transferred his pipe and, tobacco’ into the pocket of his: black coat. “Well, let’s come down; I’m ready now.” Cayley was waiting for them in the hall. The three of them fell} into a casual conversation. “You were quite right about. the} keys,” said Bill, during a pause, ' “Keys?” said Cayley blankly. “We were wondering whether they were outside or inside.” “Oh! oh, yes!” He looked slowly round the hall, at the ‘different doors, and then smiled in a friendly way at Antony. “We both seem to Eave beer right, Mr. Gillingham. So we don't get much farther.” “No.” He gave a shrug. “I just wondered, you know. I*thought it was worth mentioning.” “Oh, quite. Not that you would have convinced me, you know: @ust as Elsie’s evidence doesn’t convince “Elsie?” said Bill excitedly. An- tony looked inquiringly at. him, wondering who Elsie was. “One of the housemajds,” ex- plained Cayley. “You didn’t hear | what she told the inspector?” Cayley ‘told them. of what: Elsie had heard through the*office door that afternooni: | “You were“in the library then, of course,” - said Antony, rather toj himself: than -to-the-other.. “She might Lave gone through the hall | without your hearing.” “Oh, I’ve no doubt she was there, and heard voices, Perhaps heard very words.

GRAIN HE GAMBLES 56 CHANCES OUT ~~ OF 100 IT WILL REACH MATURITY General items of wheat produc- tions costs are being determined so that they may be used in the fu- ture. Thus available figures complied show that an average of six hours, . an acre of a man’s time is necesr¢ sary to raise wheat (not including threshing): It takes about nineteen hours of horse labor. Seed—1 to 1.1-2 bushels per acre. Twine—3-4 to 2 pounds. The highest acre cost of produc- ing wheat in 1921 yet found is $32 per acre—lowest $6. The 1921 yield ranged from 2 to 24 bushels per 4, acre. Potatoes—Were produced on one farm at an average cost of 51 cents per bushel, In 1921 farmers aver- aged a loss on wheat (some as much as $1.00 a bushel) but a profit on po- tatoes—a few cents to 50 cents a bushel. Corn—Acre cost about $16. Summer Fallowing—Must be dis- tributed to overhead expense or other crop production. Costs $5 to $10 per acre. If farm is not too large it is generally. possible to rest the ground by raising corn and po- tatoes with results just as good, and these bring in income where fallow- ing does not. Horses—It is necessary to allow for investment, depreciation and feed. . The. average work horse on the North» Daokta farm gets in. only about 80 days work a,year and this, brings’ his labor. from 50 cents to $1.50 a day. What Records Show Available records indicate that it was cheaper to work a horse than a tractor in 1921 but these do not con- sider that a tractor;ican do more things and.that aiman can finish a; job quicker: with: it. CattleBecduse of a marked de- crease: invcattle prices between: the beginning and’ the! end of 1921 only a few farmers made money with cat- tle. Because of severe feed condi- tions. many: cattle were carried on’ low costs— in one county some as low as $40 to $50 per head. ~ Income from»sale of dairy products _ and beef amounted from a few dol- lars a head to $75 a head per year. ‘A man can earn from 20 to 25 cents per hour, summer and winter car- ing for cattle in some cases, in others, néthing was made. Labor Distribution—By including raising of other crops and livestock with wheat the farmer not only eliminates risk but also spreads his labor and the use of his work stock and equipment over a greater num- ber of days thus making for greater efficiency. A~saving of as much as 60 cents a day for each day’s labor done by horses has been noted be- tween a farm: where only grains were raised and one where diversification and livestock raising was practiced.

"The road bent round to the right, but they kept straight on over a + broad grass path for twenty yards, and there in front of them was the green. A dry ditch, ten feet wide and six feet deep, surrounded it, except in the one place where the path went forward. “Yes, it hides itself very nicely,” said Antony. “Where do they keep the bowls?” “Wy a sort of suminer-house place, Routt Here.” fs beter) i They Walked ‘Blong ‘the ' edge ‘of the green yntil they came to it—a low wooden biink; which liad been built into one walt’of the ditch.
