Woman's Literary
Club Holds Meeting

The Woman's Literary club met
in their spacious parlors Tuesday
afternoon and was called to order
by the president, Mrs. A. c. Jack
son, who was ably assisted by Miss
Sarah Mccoy.
Committee reports showed the
work progressing and our people
remembered by little tokens OF
kindnesseS.
Civic committee reported that
our City Council had amended the
ordinance prohibiting expectora-
ton on the streets and confined
it to the pavements, as the club
had asked, and that it was to be
hoped the proper authorities
would see that the law was en-
forced.
The ladies expressed themselves
that if no greater work was done
by the club than this carried out,
that they had accomplished much
for the general health of our
otherwise clearly little city.
Roll-call was responded to with
very interesting epigrams.
Miss Romayne Elliott gave a
very carefully prepared paper on
"Bank of England and None
tary System. Mrs. Frank Phil
lips paper, "England's Hlstor,
ians," delivered in her own orlgl,
nal manner, was intensely inter,
esting." "English Art by Mrs
r. L. Losee, was broad subject
but handled with such pressure as
to be very complimentary to the
writer.
Extemporaneous talks by diff.
ferent members of the club added
interest.
The series Of lectures given by
Miss Nye are being well ATTENDED
to, and are very instructive.

Gee this morning on Wells street.
1t had never occurred to her that

Wheat Crop
All Right Yet

Call: Fargo, as is we'll known
all over the west, is one of the
greatest centers for the distribu-
ton Of farm machinery in the
world. The implement houses
have agents continually on the
road in all parts Of the state and
pit is possible for the general
agents located in Fargo to keep
in close touch with actual crop
conditions than any other people.
The machinery dealers know
sooner than anyone else when
there is a notable change in crop
conditions, either for the better
or Tor the worse. The business
transacted by the agents over.
the state is reasonable test of
the development of the crops.
Implement dealers state that
there have been no reports re-
ceiyed from agents Of damage to
wheat in any section of the state
from black rust or any other
kind. Agents have not even re-
porting that farmers are alarmed
over indications of rust. On the
other hand the most favorable
reports have been received from
all parts of the state as to the
ditionFof the wheat crop in
Eparticular. During the. week
crops have developed very rapid
lly, more rapidly than in any
fother week this year. The
weather as "a whole has been
favorable. There have been
l.some rains, heavy rains in some
parts, but crops do not show IN in.
fdications of too much rain.
The warm weather has had a
good effect upon the wheat.
| With most of the rains there
has been wind and some fields
have been fattened slightly, but
in practically all cases the grain
assumed a straight position.
There was slight damage in
small spots by hail. The general
c0ncensus seems to be that the
prospects for a good wheat crop
lin the state were never better
than at the present time. In the
valley there has been a notable
improvement in the condition
during the past week. nipple.
tent dealers are feeling good
lover the crop outlook and the
/ farmers are likewise satisfied
with present conditions. There
Iare possib ilities of disaster.
There always are until the crops
are harvested, threshed and sold,
but there is no occasion for pes.
