months the two disturbing factors have

conditions, but each week has brought
better things in these two respects un-

is diminishing. Railway traffic is
heavy, earnings thus far reported for
July exceeding last years by 1876 per

Army Worms.

Some alarm is felt over the reports
OF the presence of the army worms in
the northwestern part of the state.
reports have been sent to Professor
Waldron of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, that the worms are
devastating some of the wheat fields.
1t is said there are myriads of, them
and that they take absolutely all the
vegetation from the fields they infest.
From the meagre description sent the
professor, he is inclined to believe the
pests are the 'wheat head army
worms" but he will not know till he
reaches the fields. He left for Rugby
Wednesday morning and will go to
all infected districts from that point
and take steps to destroy the pests.

But sometimes ,ther bodies than the

and in this case the Society OF

IS likely to add to the prestige of
Quaherism in the same proportion
as it may to the beer. Inquiries made

With hs the recording clerk or secre
