c. {. Barber Of Beach Won.
First Prize for Best Col
lection Of Grains
This Is Second Time He Has.
ScOOped All Balance
Of the State

i. (.
The fact that grain from the Mis-
souri, Slope has again beaten all the
other state exhibits in the state con
test will certainly make the people
of the eastern par of North Dakota
sit up an pay attention to this part
of the king dom. .:.5.
Yesterday afternoon the judges,
Gov. Burke, Deputy Treasurer Fal-
coner and Deputy Land Commission
er Coats, examined the grains sent
for the contest and awarded the
prizes as fo.loWs Az.
First prize, 500 TO C. 3. Barber
of Beach, Billings county.
Second prize, $50 To o. H. Kill
land, Mandan, Morton county.
Third prize, $40 To T.. T. Krist-
janson, Gardar, Pembina county.
The judges were not aware of the
exhibitors name nor where the
grain came from so that no favorit-
ism could be shown even were the
judges inclined to such a course,
which these gentlemen certainly
would not think of.
There were fifty-fve entries of col
lections and they came from nearly
every county in the state, and all
who saw them remarked of the gen
eral excellence of the various collec-
tions. In fact the judges had quite
a time in awarding the second and
third prizes SO close were a number
of the collections in superior excel
lence. 5s.$
Nearly all the samples sent in will

missioner Gilbreath is having prepar-
ed for, the state exhibit he will show.
at several state fairs in the central.
states this fall. Each exhibit will.
be labelled with the owners name so
tnat all parts Of the state viii have
full and fair representation.
It is natural that the Slope people
should feel a little stuck up and
proud over thus twice winning the
first prize in this annual contest as
II. calls aloud to the world that the
western part Of North Dakota can
raise as good grain as any section
of the world. Certainly Mr.. Barber
has every reason to congratulate
himself hin on the results Of his good
farming. And Beacn is on the west.

How q Flea Jumps.

N It is said that a fiea leaps 200 times
Its height, and while it usually does
land on its feet, it often fails, especial
" when 1t falls ON perfectly smooth
surface, where the claws can get only
a slight hold. "a flea has six legs,
whose great length and bulk make
them SO heavy that they must be a.
great help In keeping their owner right
side up when II makes one of those
gigantic jumps, and when it lands up
side down or in some other way It's
ability to kick Is SO great that not more
than one wriggle is needed to set things
right. A fea's wings are mere scales
and Of no use. But small and worth
less as they are, they tell the entonolo-
gist something about the proper eiassi-
ication OF the insect. To the flea itself
they have no value. st. Nicholas.

FLETCHERISM.

What " BNeteheEism3 That is the
name given TO a theory ON eating, which
has been demonstrated by one Horace
Fletcher. This gentleman was refused
as bad risk. by a life insurance CONS
pany. because OF the condition OF his
digestive organs. Then he turned over
Il new leaf, II that is a defensibie eS-
preston for a change in the manner oe
taking nourishtnent with the result
that now he enjoys the best OF health.
Anyone suffering from indigestion and
kindred ailments should know what
fietcherism is.
Mi Fletcher simply acquired The
habit of chewing his food until il was
thoroughly ground up and well mixed
wish Jhe saliva. BY this practice lie
soon discovered that the more time he
gave 20 this process. the less food he
needed 1t Is claimed that by this Sim
pic remedy his digestion was re-estab-
Nshed, and frum Il chronic invalid he
was converted into A man OF perfect
health. He has since been examined
and his system of eating investigated
by eminent psychologists 1t Is claimed
that their Investigations prove that We
have been deceived in tho past as to
the amount OF food, and especially OF
proteids. required to maintain the body.
Our age demands that everything go
with rush. ana the taking OF nourIsh-
meat forms no exceptions to the gem
eral rule FletcherIsm says, STOP long
enough over your meals 10 give nature
what she needs FOR keeping the body
I'm repair. Your business win lose
! few minutes ot your time at each meal
| but nature will add years to your life,
! to make up for THAI. so do not hurry
away Irom rhe table, merely to reach
your grave The sooner Stay a little
while and live, II life Is dear to you
