Easterner Recoups Fortune in North Dakota Dairy Boom
A Dayton immigrant, Albert M. Powell, built wealth in North Dakota through land holdings in Ramsey County and a 115 acre Powell farm. He recalls starting with a $100 business, inheriting $13,500, and later building a real estate loan and insurance venture in Devils Lake. The piece links Powell to a broader North Dakota dairy expansion, noting New Salem creameries, rising milk sales, and diverse farming shifts boosting the region.

Curious King’s Guard toast rule in London lore
The London Daily Mail notes a Queen's Guard custom at St James Palace where no toast to the king is drunk at dinner unless Scots guards are on guard. The practice stems from historical Jacobite suspicions, with Scots officers compelled to toast the king after meals and forbidden from using finger glasses to avoid drinking to the king over the water.
