The company has five big brick
yards in the two cities, one of them
being located north. of East Grand
Forks, two Of them north of Grand
Forks and two Of them just west of the
city. This year only three of the
plants were In operation but next sea-

long as the season continues. 1t will
be the biggest year the company has
ever had.
The combined output of these plants
is estimated at 100000 and next
year they will be worked to this cana
city. AS compared with the season
just closed the output Of the coming
year will he almost twice as large.

'tCoincident with the arrival of the

party Of North Dakotans, including
Gov. John Burke, members of his staff,
and q number Of state officials, visit
cd New York enroute to Washington,
after having witnessed the launching
Of the battleehip North Dakota at
Quincy, Mass., last week. There were
several women in the party, among
them Miss Mary Benton Of Fargo, and
her chaperon, Mrs. Alice Nelson Page,
q newspaper woman of Grand Forks.
Miss Benton broke the bottle of cham
payne over the bow of the new war;
ship as its sponsor.
Gov. Burke, while lounging in the
foyer Of the Hotel Knickerbocker,
talked Interestingly of the northwest,
and pointed out several members OF
his party as men of great influence
and wealth, adding: And they made
every dollar of 1t in farming. Have
you any millionaire farmers in this
part of the world? There are ten in
this party
when the Times reporter told him
that while millionaires were as COM
mon In New York as wheat In North
Dakota, the millionaire farmer was as
scarce as skyscrapers in Fargo. the
governor promptly called several of
his fellow travellers to his side.
Towering the full height Of his 6
feet 2. the governor waved his power
full arms aloft and began:
This Is Col. Joseph Kelly of Devils
Lake. He Is devil of fellow, and
made every penny Of his millions out
Of the virgin soil of North Dakota. Am

THE Colonel gravely nodded an
Affirmative, while every neck In the
foyer was craned to catch a glimpse
Of this first farmer millionaire.

JURY FINDS HARDY
IS GUILTY Of
ROBBERY
Joe Found Guilty Of Assembling
Tin in Chinese Restaurant
Fight

It took from 1918 o'clock yester-
day morning until. almost 6 o'clock
last evening for the jury to decide in
the case of the state against Edward
Hardy, who was. found guilty of rob-
city Of jewelry valued at $500, the rob-
berry occurring at the time tho mer-
chants carnival was in progress here.
In view OF the fact that the prose-
cutting witness, Mrs. Sanborn, was lab
sent it took the jury a longer time
than 1t might be expected to convict
Hardy, who apparently made q very
poor witness in his own behalf It is
stated that it is the first time in
North Dakota that q man has been
convicted without the presence Of q
prosecuting witness. Hardy may re-
ceive penalty Of from one year to
life for the crime which he has been
found guilty of.
Joe is Guilty.
The jury in the Chinese case Of the
state against s. n. Joe, in which At
toraey 8. G. skulason appeared for
the prosecution and Attorney Calder
for the defendant, found that JoeSWas
guilty. OF assault and not OF battery,
when the decision was rendered last
evening.
Joe and Tin got into q fight over the
rental Of a Chinese restaurant on De-
Mers avenue which belonged to Tin
and which Joe tried to get from him.
When Joe tried to get the lease ON
the building which Tin occupied tho
latter became enraged and the light
followed which resulted in both being
arrested. "a
In the lower court Joe was fined
$16 and costs, but appealed the case
TO the district court after paying his
me. The district court jury upheld
the lower courts decision with refer
ence to assault. The case which was
g trivial one, created unusually intsr-
est, because Of the amusing circum-
stance brought ont through testimony
Of the Chinese witnesses.

A NoiseIess Room.

For many physical researches a per.
fectly noiseless room is a desidera-
tum. If such could be devised it
would open out new possibilities of re-
search. At the University of Utrecht
the problem has been apparently sue
cessfully solved by the room designed
by Zwaardemaker. The walls and
ceiling of the room are eleven inches
thick and are formed of six separate
layers. The first consists of a feltlike
material Of horsehair known as tricho-
please. This is followed by layer Of
porous stone isolated from the floor by
sheet lead. An air space of about an
inch is followed by wood and then a
course Of ground cork and sand. The
final layer is Of specially prepared
ground cork known as korkstein. Lon

Pole Discovery Must Be Proved.

Over their lunch the fishermen. at
ease in the bobbing boat, talked about
Peary.
"Why doesn't he just lie about it,
come back and say he's reached the
north pole and let it go at that? 1t
would save lot of money"
"Yes, it would save money, but
Peary must bring back proof"
"How can he bring back proof"
with his camera. 1t is like this.
Only at the north pole would the
shadow of a bullet suspended from q
string describe in a days time a per-
feet circle. Everywhere else the
shadow would be elliptical. Well,
Peary, If he ever gets to the pole, will
hang up his bullet and photograph an
arc of his circle. He won't photograph
the whole thing because at the north
pole a full day is six months long.
The arc, though, will tell the story to
scientists. 1t will be the proof that no
fake has been worked."-New Orleans

eERMANY,s END.
An Old Prophecy Gives the Empire
Only Five Years More.

An Old Prophecy Gives the Empire
Only Five Years More.
Five years more and the German
empire will come to an end. SO at least
says a prophecy made in the thirteenth
century by a monk named Hermann,
who lived in the monastery Of Lehnin,
in Brandenburg, where he wrote a
work in Latin concerning the future
destiny of Germany for many centu-
ries. The work is styled the "Vati-
cinium Lehninense," and it is in verses
after the manner Of the sibylline books.
The monk seems to have foretold
the defeat at Jena and the constitu-
ton of the Germanic confederation in
1915. Unfortunately the prophetic
Hermann foretells in plain language
the downfall of the Hohenzollern dy-
nasty, and William IL. is destined to
be the last of his race to sit on the i'm
perial throne. The verses that foretell
this are
"Verse 90. Tandem sceptra gerit qui
stemmatis ultimus crit.
"Verse "a. Israel infandum sectus
audet morte piandum."
cat last the scepter is in the hands
Of him who will be the last of the royal
race. Israel attempts an execrable
crime that death alone can expiate)
In 1910 William L.. king of Prussia,
consulted celebrated soothsayer who
in answer to his queries told him that
that the German empire would be es-
tabllshed in 1871, that he would die in
1888 and that the German empire
would come to an end in 1918. The
first three prophecies have been full
filed to the very letter.-New York
