The next year I put it into oats. When sum- mer came I saw that it would not make a crop, so I turned the sheep into it. They pa&tured there all summer.

He sold his lambs year at an average of six. dol- lars per head, bringing a net return per ewe of about $9.50. The sale of wool and lambs last year amounted to $2,400, and by selling off some of his older sheep, he brought the total income from his sheep up to $3,500 last year. ‘ James A. Shea, of this same neigh- borhood, has also been successful with sheep. One of the fine things about this tour was the choice of different kinds of farms which were visited. There was the farm of Olof Han- son is a Duroe Jersey breeder, He recently started to build up a herd of Guernsey cattle. He has a small herd of grade and purebred cows and just bought a good pure- bred Guernsey bull to head his-herd. ‘Then there was the farm of Paul Kolden, who has grade Shorthorns and Holsteins, headed by a purebred Holstein sire. He has Poland China hogs, which he pastures on alfalfa and sweet clover pasture, thereby keeping down his production costs. The farms of Hans and John Lun- den, brothers, and that of Peter Kolden, are splendid examples of im- proved farms, with nice groves and fine, well-equipped homes and farm buildings, such ag one finds more often on well-established farms in older farming sections. These farm- crs have farmed in that district for more than 20 yeas. They report ly inereased grain yields follow- ing sweet clover, alfalfa and cu vated crops. REAL MIXED FARMING There is a 160-aere alfalfa field on the farm of John Lunden. ‘ Hans Lunden has 160 acres in sweet clo- ver and 120 acres in alfalfa. He has a very good herd of purebred Short- horn cattle. Starting in 1914 with one purebred Holstein heifer, Peter Kolden has built up a herd of 24 Holsteins. He is milking 14 cows now. His cream checks last year amounted to $1,036, He has Duroc Jersey ho wife made $190 from tur! This v which s the second annual tour been held in the Ryder- | Roseglen district. The Town Criers’ Club of Ryder, working with John Husby, county agent of Ward Coun- ty and A. L. Norling, county agent of McLean County, arranged this tour. The Town Criers’ Committee in charge of the tour was composed of E. E. Fredeen, Paul Rode, George Wertzler, L. S. Officer, A. J. Granum, Peter Kolden, C. A. Olsen, and Ole Lunden, and all deserve great credit for their enterprise and management. The tourists expressed wonder and delight at the splendid farms which they saw.

The Roosevelt tradition is to be carried over into this year’s pre dential campaign, via the personality of “Hell an’ Marie” Dawes. Perhaps we shouldn’t have put it that way, since the vice presidential running mate of President Coolidge has indicated that he wishes to shed his picturesque sobriquet for a more sober one, better befitting the dignity of a possible vice president. Any- way, Dawes and his rambunctious personality are to be painted as of the same general’character of those vigorous, strenuous attributes which so endeared “T, R.” to the American people. The “politician with a punch,” how- ever, who is most under discussion in Washington these days, is none other than Senator Joe Robinson of} ‘Arkansas. Robingon jumped right into the center of the capital’s tea-table con- versations the other day when in an altercation over golf etiquette, he swung with his fist instead of his James Mitchell for a dead One. No one claims it, was a dub stroke, but Mitchell claims the senator scored on a foul and protested to the club management, exhibiting a black eye| as Exhibit A. ; The discusgions that resulted} haven’t been equalled in the exclusive Chevy Chase Club circles since Taft tried golf as a weight-reducer. The Robinson fans said Joe should have used his driver instead of his fist, but the Mitchell adherents held that his fist proved a mashie, which no gentleman would use on his first shot. ‘The upshot of all the talk was that Robinson was expelled from the club, Not because he hit Mitchell, but because he got the club too much talked about! ‘No Secrets in His Life A man who had, amassed a for- tune by his own efforts liked to annoy his wife by telling credulous acquaintances about fictitious early harg@ships.

The 24 HOUR MAN Of Modern Business Let us look at a three-ring circus and mar- vel. Here are literally hundreds of people, hundreds of. animals, and more paraphernalia than you find in a small-sized factory—all on the move. Here is a complete city, set up every day in a strange place—giving a parade and. two performances — taken down, packed away, loaded on a train, moved to another city and set up again. Any business can learn something about efficiency from a circus. Take the “24-hour man” as one example. | The “24-hour man” goes one day ahead of the circus. He contracts for all the food for this army of performers. He arranges to have a local bakery deliver bread; he buys vegetables and meat; he buys tons of hay for the horses and elephants. The “24-hour man” sees the city officials. He arranges for a license; he arranges for water, piped to “the lot;” sometimes he ar- ranges for electricity, he sees that “the lot” itself is clear and ready for occupancy the next day. Then comes the circus. All it has to do is go to “the lot,” set up, give its parade and its two performances. If it were not for the “24-hour man” the circus itself would stand a fair chance of wast-’ ing its time and spending its energy running down and taking care of the details which one man handled so efficiently the day before. 5 * eS * * *& » Does Your Business Need a 24 - Hour Man? The “24-hour man” of business is printing. Printing takes care of a thousand details which would otherwise fall upon a salesman, Printing thus helps your salesmen—wheth- er they are in a retail store or traveling “on the road.” ‘It enables your salesmen to per- form as they are intended to perform—by bringing in sales. Without printing, any salesman must waste time in explaining your policy—building con- fidence — explaining the merits of merchan- dise—removing obstacles to buying, from the purchaser’s mind. 5 With printing, you can do these things for your salesman, ; That’s just one advantage of printing. Let us tell you more of them. : car Bismarck Tribune oe ee WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1924
