minutes and for time presenting to
the timid the spectre of a Roosevelt
stampede: This demonstration was
decidedly the feature of a day other
wise notable for a stirring speech
from the permanent chairman Of the
convention. Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge Of Massachusetts, for much
practical procedure in placing the con-
vention on smooth running basis and
for. the final defeat of the plan to re-
duce the representation of Southern
states at future national conventions.
Probably the most important act of
the day, and the one having greatest
significance, was the adoption of the
report of the committee on credentials,
seating the Taft delegations practical
" In toto. II there had been any
lingering doubt of the Taft strength it
disappeared before this decisive &C.
ton, which in effect placed upward Of
700 delegates in the Taft column
Equally important, and even more re-
markable, was the final acceptance of
this result by the "allies" without the
formality of a diss enting minority re-
port and without carrying the Ques-
ton to the floor of the convention for
, the open fight, which had been long
! threatened. s
The resolution offered by James
Francis Burke of Pennsylvania reduc-
inSsthe representation Of states to a
basis Of Republican votes cast by
those states was defeated by a vote
: of SOC to All after a bitter fight on
the floor of the convention.

WILLIAMS CO.
DIVISION Plan

Winston. N. D., Sept. 22.-The first
real gun in the county division fight
has been fred. Attorney George Cud-
HE came down from the north with a
petition, and presented the long roll
to the btard of county commissioners
The prayer of the petition was grant :
ed. and resolution was passed pro-
viding that the matter go upon the
regular ballot and be voted upon in
November.
Attorney Cudhie says that the tax
payers of his portion of the county,
which would be called Arkansania,
are deeply anxious TO invest in some
new county buildings and a court
house Of their own, and that they will
gladly shoulder the expense of the
same. He says that most OF the ,vot-
ers up there think thar now is the
time to divorce from Williams, and
that he was here as their instrument.
It is believed that the carrying of
county division will mean the expen-
diture by the people of that end of
the county OF at least $4,000 in new
buildings and county improvements.
all Of which would be borne by the
taxpayers of the new county. one of
the strong workers for divorce from
Williams county is George Homes.

tative.

VACCINE IS in DEMAND

DR.. L. Van Els OF the agricultural
college completed the manufacture Of
q large quantity Of hog cholera vac
cine at his laboratory this morning.
which will be sent to different parts
of the state where II has been re-
quested, but 1t will fill only a small
part of the orders sent in from over
the state.
1--WE have not the hogs, the facili-
ties nor the money to manufacture as
large an amount of the serum as is
required said DR.. Van Els to a rep
resentative Of The Forum this morn
ing, but we are doing what we can.
1t takes about seven weeks from the
time the hog. from which the vaccine
is taken, has been made immune, to
the time when it is bled and the Sc
rum prepared. thought that we would
send some of the serum to South Da-
kota at cost, but / find the demand in
North Dakota Is so great that we can
not send any OF the fuid south.
There seems to be good bit of
cholera in the state at present and we
wish TO supply our own people" DR..
OF bottles containing the precious
fluid which win be sent where there Is
the most urgent need OF II.
When asked how the virus was Sc
cured and used, DIR. Van Els said, ''The
hog is first made immune and Is then
bled. either at the tail or killed and
its blood saved. This is then taken to
the laboratory and put through pro-
cess which is difficult and takes
long time to explain The use OF the
virus is by the hypodermic. The Sc
rum should be used early In a conta-
gion. When the farmers neighbors
hogs have the cholera is the time to
use the fluid and not wait until the
disease has put in an appearance in
his own herds.
IF used properly and IL II will do
what Is claimed for 1t. the use OF this
vaccine will save the country many
millions OF dollars annually and the
farmers of North Dakota many thoua-
ands."

DEMONSTRATION FARMS

Wahpeton Globe Gazette: The sec
rotary Of the commercial club has a
further communication from President
Worst regarding the demonstration
farms OF the state and how they are
made. Numerous inquiries from wah-
peton and villages of the county have
come In, each asking IL such a farm
could not be organized on their land.
Also 1t was thought that the tract be-
longing to the commercial club--53
acres Immediately north of the Science
school buildings-would be admirable
for such a purpose If lease did not
preclude a sale and the state were will
ing to take SO large tract.
President Worst In response express
es himself in disfavor Of areas larger
than 90 acres because II is usually
more difficult to have the larger fields
cared for at the exact time required
and in the proper way to produce the
best results.
D Further, he will not attempt to es =
tablish demonstration farm without
at least a fifteen of twenty year lease,
The work OF conserving moisture and
fertility through rotation and cuiti-
walton methods, President Worst goes
on to say in his letter, is somewhat
slow process, and the longer the same
land is used the better the object les
son becomes. To conduct demon
stration farm for, say, five years would
be to get fairly started; then to change
to another tract of land would be TO
do all the work over again He adj
vises that the best way Is to make ar
rangements with some good, reliable
farmer who expects TO remain on the
land for years to come, On his land
one should survey -off. say, Ave 4-acre
fields FOR five-year rotation. the ar
engagements should be made such that
he will perform the work under al
rections of the superintendent from
the station at Fargo, giving the farm
er fixed sum for his years work and
the crop on the land In addition.
This ruling by the president OF the
state agricultural college makes an
open fieid In Richiand county for one
OF these most valuable farms for the
farmer here who is enterprising and
public spirited enough to undertake
the work. He is sure. OF extra pay, and
all the crops, with seed free, and he
has what amounts to the guaranteed
word OF his government that his land
will be greatly benefited by the meth
DDS which are proposed FOR demonstra-
ton on the tract selected. The Globe
Gazette hopes that the opportunity will
not be lost sight Of, and that one or
more such farms will become valued
features Of Richland county progress
iveness.

HIRED man TOOK
THE WIFE'S PART

Lisbon, n D., Sept. Is. - George
Brooks, a workman in the employ Of
Tom Kelly, residing about ten miles
south of Lisbon, shot and seriously
wounded Mr. Kelly late last night.
Kelly had been TO Gwinner in the aft
ernoon and is said to have been drink
ing. Coming home he quarreled with
his wife and Brooks interfered, knock
ing Kelly down.
Brooks then started for his sleeping
place upstairs in the barn and Kelly
followed him later, 1t Is said, with q
knife. Brooks, after warning Kelly
not to come up stairs, fired two shots,
one taking effect in Kelly's breast
and coursing down to the abdomen,
but not necessarily fatal unless blood
poisoning sets in.
Brooks was arrested and lodged in
jail to. await a preliminary examina-
ton. Kelly Is an influential farmer.

SELLING A FAKE CURE

A fake medicine has come to the no
tice Of Prof. E. F. Laid, pure food
commissioner for North Dakota. and
he is going to take immediate steps to
bar it from the state. This medicine
is not sold by the regular druggists
but is sent into the state from the
manufacturers direct to the consumer
II is claimed to be sure cure for con-
sumption.
1.-THE firm gets into communication
with the prospective victim" said
Professor Ladd, and induces him to
buy. II certainly cannot do what is
claimed for it and ] will take steps
to keep 1t from the state. An ignor-
ant person suffering from consump-
ton spends his money for the drug
when he might go some place and be
cured. 1t might be too late after he
has tried the article which is being
sent here"
Professor Ladd is also after several
other patent medicines which are be-
ing sold by druggists in the state.

FARM INSTITUTES
START IN DECEMBER

Supt. 4. A. Hoverstad OF the farm 4
ers' institute corps of the agricultural
college. announced this morning that
the winter series of Institutes would
be started about Dec. Z. and that so
far he had received 81 applications
from towns over the state requesting
that a day be spent in those places.
I'VE have not yet begun the work
of arranging the schedule" said SUI
perintendent Hoverstad today to The
Forum, but will soon send out no.
tees to the newspapers over the state
requesting that those Wishing to have
Institutes held in their towns, send in
their applications at an early date so
that. the schedule can be arranged
Il find that 1t is impossible to get
the farmers to turn out earlier than
the first of December, as they are SO
busy at home. The applications that
have come in are from all parts of
the state and tifty-seven Is a large
number for this early in the season.
Several applications have come from
places In the new country In Morton,
LAG1AAi1bSI duds Lie SOuln part Oh bll-
lings county, which is quite dis
lance from the railroad. We will make
these places next summer, as we can
not work this district in the winter.
THE usual special meetings will be
held at Fargo. Valley City, James
town. Bismarck, Minot, Devils Lake
and Grand Forks. Last year the in
stitute paid special attention to soil
fertility and this subject viii be part
OF our programme this coming season,
but we Will pay special attention this
year to stock raising and it's value to
the farmer of North Dakota. / do not
know how that matter will appeal to
the farmers as they have the grain
raising proposition so firmly lodged in
their minds that it is hard to educate
them to any other method.
Eve will have Prof. Thomas Shaw
with us again this year. which will be
good news to the farmers Of the state
Professor Shay has received urgent re-
quests from other states, but prefers
to remain In the North Dakota corps.
He is well acquainted with our method
of conducting institutes as we'll as
with the farmers personally and he
thought that he could do more good in
this state than IL he went to some
other where he was not conversant
with the methods"
