Park River
Wins Banner

The high school athletic asso-.
ciation brought home from the
North Dakota Inter-Schol
field meet a banner Of which.
they are justly proud but that
was last year. They were there
this year. but got in the also
ran class. Well, the boys did
not bring home much glory, but
the trouble is that this year they
have, been training the head,
rather than the feet, and while
they were not able to get in the
Park River class, they helped
make the meet success lin
numbers. When the dust Of the
contest had cleared away it was
found that Park River had Sc
cured first place, winning the
banner, Grand Forks, second;
Bismarck, third, and Jamestown
forth. Devils Lake had some
misfortunes in the way of acct
dents to her representatives in
some Of the events, but even
under these conditions stood fifth
in one of the strongest fields
ever gotten together in any
state.

fine, moist soil in, around and
over all the roots until tLey are
covered four to six inches deep;
then with your feet press the
dirt around lin a thorough and
compact manner SO it may touch
all the roots. If, in you, judg-
ment, the soil needs moisture,
throw into the hole one or two
pailfuls of water not too cold;
let the water settle and then fill
up the hole with the good soil,
tramping, as before, every layer
of six to eight inches in depth;
when filled, tramp hard
again, pressing the dirt close
about the tree, being sure your
tree is planted from two to three
inches lower in the ground than
it stood in the nursery or woods.
Leave a hollow around the tree
in the form of a saucer, to catch
and hold the rain or water. If
the, soil is quite dry, dash on one
or two pailfuls Of water. It
would be wise to mulch the tree
with rotten straw or other litter,
covering at least six inches deep
and far out beyond the roots. If
the tree should be Of large size
and much exposed, it should be
well stayed in its place, so the
strong winds and storms may
not cause it to sway too much,
or be thrown down. This is
effected by driving wooden posts

Tree Planting.

The tree must be sound and
healthy, and have good roots.
Protect the roots from the sun
and wind until planted. Make
the hole large, giving plenty Of
room for the spread of the roots.
If the drainage is poor, it would
be well to place some rocks in
the bottom of the excavation and
cover them with a thin layer Of
coarse gravel. On this place the
good soil and plant the tree, but
If there is no stagnant water,
fill the opening with fine, rich,
moist soil, from four to six
inches deep. Take the tree in
hand and with a sharp knife cut
off in a careful manner every
broken and imperfect or diseased
root, saving as many roots as
possible, especially the tiny
rootlets, the feeders of the tree.
Trim back the branches and
head Of the tree, for there must
not be too large a foliage for the
roots to sustain, otherwise the
tree may become feeble and die.
Before commencing the plant
ing, there should be provided a
mixture of dirt ana manure Of
about equal amounts and water,
the result being ABOUT the con.

WAR NOTES.

The Russian note, of last week. to
the Powers, complaining Of the Chi
nese, claiming that they were aiding
the Japs in several ways, and threaten
ing retaliation, was answered by the
Japs, calling attention to the fact that
the Russian Baltic feet is hiding in
some port Of Madagascar, which is con-
trolled by the French. The Russians
followed up their note by sending a
large body Of Cossack cavalry into Chi.
nese territory west of the Liao river,
with the intention. the Japs thought, Of
circling around and cutting the rail
road between Port Arthur and the JaI
lines along the Sakhe. and this may
cause lengthening of the already long
lines of the two great armies facing
each other.
Why the Chinese do not pluck uI
spunk enough to aid the Japs in driving
the Russians out of Eastern Asia is be
yond comprehension.
