The attention of persons interested
in these particular regions is espe-
cially invited to these papers. These
chapters have been written by men
who are either specialists in their
lines or have made such special stud
les of the particular matters here
considered that they may be said to
speak with authority.
1t Is quite generally admitted by
intelligent people that farmers ought
to know something of the nature OF
soils. 1t ought not to require much
argument to convince intelligent peo-
pie that all citizens of an agricultur-
al community or country ought to
know something of the nature of soils.
There Is much information in this vol
ume relating to these subjects, and
an effort has been made to put the
matter in such form that it can be
used Understandings by any person
interested. Soil surveys during the
past two years and earlier have been
made in quite widely separated por-
tons of the state so as to give op-
portunity for the careful study of all
the soil conditions in the state. The
soil is not all Of agriculture, but it
will be granted that it is one of the
important factors in an agricultural
state. 1t is hoped that persons who
are interested in the matter of the
better use of the soil, whether as
practical farmers or otherwise, and
persons who are interested in the
problems of a water supply, will read
this book. 1t has been printed for
such use. The volume has been pub
lished for the benefit of the citizens
of the state, and others who may be
interested In North Dakota. It win
be sent to any citizen who desires it
upon payment Of ten cents posage. A
few copies have been bound in cloth,
and limited number can be furnish
ed at 60 cents each, post paid. Adj

Reason for Odd Prices.

There's reason for everything"
said the dry goods merchant. There's
even a reason for odd prices-$1.12.
$3.50, 1924, etc.
1.-THE reason of these prices is that
they keep the patron waiting for
change, and while he waits he looks
around, seeing, two to one, something
else that he wants to buy.
"Odd prices, causing the customer
to examine the stock, are responsible
for some fifteen to twenty per cent of
each days sales."-New Orleans Times

ENGLAND TO BUILD
 A MONSTER SHIP
IT IS BELIEVED A GREATER VES- SEL THAN THE DREADNAUGHT IS BEING CONSTRUCTED BE- HIND CLOSED GATES.

Washington, August 11.-Naval circles are agitated over report that the British admiralty is about to lay down the keel for a giant ship that will be 50 per cent greater in tonnage than the Dreadnaught.
 It is difficult to secure any informa- ton respecting the plans for this ship and 1t is said that the British govern ment is proceeding as 1t did in the case of the Dreadnaught to build the vessel be- hind closed gates. Eventually, of course the main characteristics of war vessels built under these conditions become known, but the British government feels that 1t is amply repaid for the trouble to build the ships secretly by the fact that the British navy is thereby kept two years ahead of that of any other coun- try in point of design.
 It is understood the new ship is to be Q not less than 3O,0O0 tons displac cehmcnt, against 20,OOO tons for the Dreadnaugh' |. and the design is believed to include many novelties some based on the experience of the Dreadnaught.
 The report of the British plan has American ship designers to propose the laying down of a battleship of 40,000 tons displacement, placing the American navy clearly in the lead. Naval designers are believed to be willing to undertake tho construction of such a ship. It would cost at last S20.000000

WORK FOR PEACE
 IS SUMMARIZED
Conference Has Now Been in Session at The Hague for Eight
 Weeks.

The Hague, August 1.-The peace con ference has now been sitting for eight weeks and the time Is apparent for review of the work accomplished or most likely to resuN. The question of limita- tion of armaments has been shelved by the president of the conference, but there is nothing to prevent 1t coming up for discussion in future conferences. Indeed. the British proposition, which Is cer- tain to be unanimously cared, strength ems that proposed by NJ. Bourgeos. OFrench), and adopted by the conference in 1S9S
 All the work of the present conference may be divided Into two categories, one composed of technical propositions des- tined to render war more humane, and the other of political propositions involv- ing principle destined to prevent in- ternatonal conflicts. The only other prop osticn in this category which was ap- proved unanimously was the adoption of the Geneva convention to sea warfare. Agreement on the interdiction of the sowing of mines was hindered by Great Britain and Germany, neither of these powers being disposed to budge an inch from the attitude their naval departments assumed. The question of the abolition of contraband proposed by Great Britain. is now considered to be buried as all the naval powers including the United States. are against it.

HARTMAN IN OMAHA.
Predicts Shortage of Coal for Next
 Winter.

Omaha. August 11.-E. H. Hartman and his two sons attended services at Trinity Episcopal cathedral here to- day.
 MT Hartman predicted a shortage of coal this winter, due to the general increase in the consumption by req son of the great expansion of all lines of industry and lack of labor. He de- preciated the recent tendency of rate legislation, saying:
 Tn the development and improve ments of railroads. one factor of vital consideration Is the relative cost of ma terial and labor and the csale of rates for traffic. Labor is scarce and much higher than ever and materials are hard to get and cost more, yet rates have been reduced and taxes Increased This is not a consideration that holds out either to the people or to the ra-- roads the brightest prospects. Under present conditions the tendency of rates sh ould be to remain stationary, but is itp''

Eiuhtino Conditions.

Tansier, August 11.-Fierce fighting be- tween fanatic tribesmen and the French forces outside Casa Blanca was still in progress Saturday. when the French transport Anatole left the beseged town, The battle started with an armed attack by Moors. The tribesmen were eventually driven back with great loss. The Moors continued to fight despite the terrible havoc wrought in their ranks by the French artillery.
 The latest reports say. however. that the trfbesmen are gradually being driven back, the French cavalry and artillery being seven miles from the city and all tentatively shelling and charging the fla natics.
 Casa Blanca itself was quiet. The de- struction wrought by the French cruisers is more extensive than at first thousht, Not house, shop or warehouse IS lett undamaged.

Pittsburg People and Ohio Valley h. terests Are Very Much Interested in Report of Experts to
 Be Made Today.

Pittsburg, August 11.-"On to Cairo" with nine-foot stage in the Ohio river, the dream and hope of river men and business men, not only of Pittsburg, but of seven states along the Ohio, is again to the front by reason of the publicity that will be given the review board of the United States army engineers, which meets in this city tomorrow to publicly explain it's finding as to the needs of the river and both dependent upon it through canalization of the Ohio by the lock sys- tenn and deepening the channel from Pittsburg to Cairo.
 In 1905, in response to the demands of the river and manufacturing interests of Pittsburg and the Ohio valley Congress authorized the appointment of a commit tee to tour the Ohio river, examine into its needs and commercial important and to make report of their findings.
 The committee came to Pittsburg and under the auspices of the Pittsburg river interests and the Ohio Valley Improve ment association, made trip from Pitts burg to Cairo.
 Al the meeting tomorrow the report and recommendations of the board of the en- gineers will, it Is said, be read
 What a nine-foot still in the Ohio river means only the residents of the Ohio val ley fully realizes. To build a system of locks and dams by which the freight ship ments may be made from this city to ths Mississippi every day in the year would take columns to accurately set forth in It's magnitude to other sections of the country. Briefly it would mean that about seven-eighths of the freight, coal and ore shipments from the Great Lakes to New Orleans would be by water; there would be marked increase in the build ing of river steamers, both packets and towboats, and necessarily creating an add ed demand for lumber and hardware.
