Up to last Saturday evening 103 federal seed loans were made in Burke county by the Fargo office aggregating $17,376.00, and at the same time 677 loans of this kind were made in Divide county aggregating $121,410.00. Divide county received more money from this source than did any other county in the state. The season for procuring seed grain is now about all over and it is believed that the amount allowed the farmers of North Dakota by congress will be more than enough to take care of the needs of the farmers of the state.

While in town on Monday of this week Math Mertes told us that a bright baby boy had arrived at his home on April 15th, and wanted to know just exactly why he had not announced the arrival of this particular youngster in our last issue. We apologized for our negligence and promised to keep closer tab on his family than we had before. Although Math was the father of several children before this one arrived he told us in confidence that some instinct told him that this particular boy would be by far the best one in the lot, and he handed us a big fat cigar to show us how he felt about it.
COMING EVENTS AT THE ROYAL THEATRE
SATURDAY, APRIL 30
Movies. A big special. “Nomads of the North.” Roaring rivers and fire-girt forests – real men and splendid women – beasts of prey! They started and delight you as only one other backwoods drama ever did. And what a story! Picture it! Raoul Challoner with is wife Nanette and her baby lost to the world in their little cabin in God’s Great Wilderness – happy in their hiding place free from law’s injustice, their only friends a big black bear and a wolf-dog. Then comes O’Connor of the North West Mounted to take them back. And as a man and wife and child, bear and dog, start down the trail that leads straight to the gallows their whole wide world bursts into flames. A forest fire so real that is staggers you. A battle through so fierce that it awes you, and a finish so fine that you’ll cheer it. Two shows 8:00 and 9:45 p. m. Admission 25c and 50c.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 3

BLAMES MOORE FOR HIS TROUBLE
Bowbells, N. D., April 25, 1921
To the Readers of the Bowbells Tribune:
I suppose that all of the readers of this paper read the item in last week’s issue of The Tribune stating that I was arrested on the charge of gambling by Mr. Watkins of the Law Enforcement League. I do not think that Mr. Watkins is entitled to all the glory, for J. W. Moore should have his share. The charge that I gambled on the 15th day of March, and I was arrested on the 20th day of April. As far as I know it is a personal grudge, and I can prove that. I can also prove that J. W. Moore is and has been the worst gambler and booze killer in our town. Now J. W. Moore wants to blame Mr. Watkins for my trouble. He is not man enough to stand up for what he does.
Yours truly,
A. H. Miller
FATHER KILLS SELF DAY SON IS BORN
Jamestown, N. D., April 28. – Kenneth Miller, 19-year-old car repairer of the Northern Pacific railroad, who shot himself through the head late yesterday, died here last night. He leaves a 16-year-old wife and a baby son born just a few hours before he fired the shot. He had been out of work for three months and it was thought that money troubles may have been the cause of the suicide.

Miss Esther Berg is helping Mrs. Conrad Olson a few days this week.
We are shocked to learn that our beautiful little city of Flaxton which is one hundred and one per cent loyal, a city which stands for good old I. V. Aisns could not find a man in their own midst who was capable or competent or trust-worthy, who had manhood enough about or in him or amongst them to see that the. law was enforced, at least with the whisky element. Therefore the I. V. A. city had to go amongst the rank and file of the N. P. L. to find a man who they knew would not under any circum-stances allow whisky to be peddled at large and every other law violated that is on our statute books to-day. A N. P. L., a rank one at that, is acting in the capacity of chief of police. Success Andrew.

Yes, those poor farmers, how we pity them, how they are being mislead and held up by such elements as the Snus Hound. Oh how sad to think the farmers don't know any better than to throw their money away on a worthless press like The Tribune. We wonder how it happened to happen that wheat is about one dollar per bushel at this writing, a new gang plow $150.00, a. four horse drill $225.00, eight foot binder $275.00, and all other machinery in proportion. "Whew!" This isn't a hold up, this is legitimate business. Please explain. Chimpanzee.
