THE WRONG NOTE.
Mozart's Outbreak at an Opera Per"
formance at Marsoilles.

Mozart's Outbreak at an Opera Per"
formanee at MarssilIes.
Mozart, being once On a VISIT at
Marseilles, went incognito to hear the
performance of his "villanella Rapita."
He had reason to be tolerably wen
satisfied till in the midst Of the princi-
pal aria the orchestra, through some
error in the copying Of the score,
sounded a d natural where the COM
poser had written D sharp. This sub
stitution did not injure the harmony,
but gave a commonplace character to
the phrase and obscured the sentiment
Of the composer.
Mozart no sooner heard It than he
started up vehemently and from tho
middle Of the pit cried out in a voice
Of thunder, "Will you play d sharp.
you wretches?'
The sensation produced In the thea
ter may be imagined. The actors were
astounded, the lady who was singing
stopped short, the orchestra followed
her example, and the audience, with
loud EXPLANATIONS. demanded the ex-
pulsion of the offender. He was &C
cordingly seized and required to name
himself. He did 80, and at the name
Of Mozart the clamor subsidized and
was succeeded by shouts of applause
from all sides.
It was insisted that the opera should

in the orchestra and directed tbe
whole performance. This time the d

and the musicians themselves werl

J. j. HILL ON MARKETING WHEAT
In a Recent Talk to the Farmers at Grand Forks Mi. Hill
Gave the Following as His Idea of Taking Care Of and
Marketing the Products Of the Farm--Especiallv Wheat.

itAAG a. 1ldNu HOIhS the
other day James ]. Hill talked
freely to the business men of
that place upon the crop and
price outlook. Among other
things. according to the Mime
apolis Journal, he said:
You have a splendid crop, and
now the important thing is to
take care of it. Get it cut.
Every man must understand
that it does not pay to take any
chances. Nobody knows what
may happen to the crop as long
as it is in the field. Hail may
knock it out, rain may spoil ii,
and almost anything may happen
to it. And when it is cut and
threshed do urge your farmers
not to rush it all to the market
at once. W. can take care of it
as fast as it can be delivered at
one end and unloaded at the
other. But don't glut the mar.
ket. You can't get a price if
you do that.
This crop ought to bring a
a good price. We all want to see
that. But it won't bring a price
if it is dumped in all at once.
People are not going to bid ac-
lively on an article that is being
rushed to market faster than it
can be stored or manufactured.
Last year I tried the experi-
ment of holding my wheat. 1
kept it at home until after the
rush was over. This gave me
time to get my fall work done. l
sold the wheat later around a
dollar and a quarter a bushel.
My neighbors who hurried their
marketing got about IS cents. I
made money on the crop by wait
ing, and I got my work done.
The average farmer can do
the same thing if he is a good
manager. Possibly he needs
some money in the fall to pay
his expenses. Very we'll. He
can get it. The banks will sup
ply him, and he can better afford
to pay the interest than to dump
his crop on a glutted market and
spend his time hauling when he
should be getting his land in
shape for another crop.
I'VE are raising only a little
more wheat in this country than
we use. Our product is big in
the aggregate, but our consump-
ton is increasing faster. This
year we will raise perhaps SOL
600, 900 bushels more than wei
need for home consumption. We
may actually sell 12O, 600, 600
W. do that right along.
But we will do what we did last
year. After shipping all the
out of the northwest fas-|
ter than the market can absorb
it, along toward spring we will

1tldutAS POItSs sweeping the
eastern bins clean, and redistrib-
uting the wheat from Chicago
and Kansas City. #
This is waste of egort, and it
does not help the North Dakota
farmers whose crops have al
ready been sacrificed. What
ha pens when you have a big crop
and it is rushed to market? Ia
bles of receipts are published
every day. The buyer reads
that the receipts today are so
many millions more than at the
corresponding period last year.
Down goes the price, two, five,
ten cents a bushels. Aud at the
same time the worlds conditions
may justify a much higher price,
and the higher price will be real
lied later on when things have
had time to adjust themselves.
Every year marks an increase
in the price of northwestern
lands, but prices are still a long
way from where they belong
and where they can be placed.
Properly farmed, every acre of
good land in the northwest is
capable of yielding a profit of$15.
Of course it doesn't do it. Why?
just because the land isn't being
treated right. Its fertility is
not being kept up. The yield
is not what it was. There is no
reason why the yield should
diminish. It is all a matter of
management. You need more
cattle, more hogs, more crop
variety. There has been an
improvement in this direction,
but there must be more improve
ment.
Look at the hog business.
Hogs are selling at $3.50 to So.
I have 1900 of them this year
that will bring me $18 apiece.
And most of the stuff that was
fed to them is still on the. farm,
to enrich the land and furnish
food for another crop. Your po-
.tato' crop is one of the most use
full that you have, 1t brings in a
good direct profit and it adds to
the fertility of the SOIL.
Glover is another crop to be
encouraged. Cut one crop and
p1ow the next in and see what it
will do for the soil. Winter rye
and winter wheat are both good.
But common sense must be used
in experimenting with them. A
small farmer was urged the
other day to try winter wheat,
and he said, All right I'll SOW
100 acres of it, That's no way.
He shouldn't take chanceu on
100 acres of a crop that he
knows nothing about. Let him
start with two acres and learn
how to handle it. That's the
way to work these things OUT"

THIS CHURCH PLAN
SHOULD WORK coon

We print below the constitution and
principles of Al interdenominationa
church commission of North Dakota.
These articles were drawn up by
representatives of the Methodist. Baptist,
Presbyterian and Congregational denom-
nations of the states. at a conference
held in Grand Forks. last May. Rev
W. j. Brown of this city was q men,
Der of the committee from the Congrega-
tional denomination, and was the
prime mover in securing the confer ence
OF the churches named. in this impor-
tant matter.
This constitution will be passed upon
by these bodies at their respective an
nual meetings this fall. We trust that
in the case of each denomination they
will receive hearty endorsement. We
believe the great need is, for a.. more
economical b~usiness-like plan, and a
more cooperative method on the part
of all the churches, in carrying on their
home missionary enterprises. One chief
difficulty, in our opinion. to the success
of the church is the needless multiplying
of churches, among whom no essential
difference exists in the smaller towns.
It would seem as though the following
platform of principles furnishes just
such a basis of cooperation as is needed :
ARTICLE l. OBJECT
The object of this commission shall be
to promote cooperation in the general
work of evaneelization and in the or
ganiaztion and maintenance of churches
in North Dakota.
ARTICLE z. MEMBERSHIP
The membership of this commission
shall consist of three delegates each
from the denominations accepting this
constitution and %consenting to work
under its provisions with sister denomi-
nations in North Dakota. The delegates
shall mold Office for the term If three
years and be so elected that the term
of one shall expire each year, the
official year of this commission being
the calendar year.
ARTICLE 3. OFFICERS
The officers of this commission shall
be a president. vice president and
secretary, who shall also be treasurer.
These officers shall hold Office for the
term of one year or until their successors
shall be chosen and be elected by the
commission at its first meeting each
year.
ARTICLE 4. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
There shall be an executive committee
consisting of n member from each de-
nomination chosen by the commissioners
of that denomination from among their
number and the president and secretary |
of the commission who shall serve as
chairman and secretary of the executive
committee, but without vote. No official
agent of any denomination shall be a
member of this committee. 1t shall be
the duty of the executive committee to
consider questions of comfy which may
be referred to it and to make recon-
mendations in behalf of the commits
sion.
ARTICLE S. MEETINGS
There shall be an annual meeting of
the commission at such time and place
and of such character as the executive
committee may determine. Special
meetings of the commission may be
called at any time by the president on
request Of three members.
ARTICLE 6. RELATING TO QUORUM
Seven members of the commission
shall constitute a quorum, provided each
denomination interested in the case
under consideration shall be equally
represented. Less than a quorum may

What promises to be one Of the most

The fortunate discoverer Is William
Doig, head Of a noted publishing COM
pany IN London. Mr.. Doig retired
from business several years age. de-
voting himself entirely to his hobby
medical study.
He first discovered he could cure
tuberculosis Of the bone, and only in
recent years be has found a method
of applying his discovery to the cure
of consumption. The treatment is ex-
tremely simple. A pouitice containing

ton has not yet been announced, but

Doig to keep 1t secrety is placed on
the body Of the patient as near as JOS

has become prey to the tuberculosis
bacilh. In about a week an ulcer is
formed, connected by what is called a
organ. This forms a kind of duct,
through which the muco-pus is drawn
out Of the system.
The ulcer needs to be carefully dress

also the discovery Of Dotg. II this is

William Doig has brought his dis
cover before the American ambassa-
dor, who was much interested 1t was
determined, however, to postpone re-
porting on the subject until the tina
series of tests has placed the efficacy
of the remedy beyond all dispute. Doig
declared that in his practice he has
never had a single failure.
AS a test case Doig was challenged
to undertake the cure of a youth sew
enteen years old, who was certified to
be suffering from advanced tubercu-
losis in both lungs and also from tu-

which rendered it impossible for him
to speak except in hoarse whispers.
The youth weighed about 100 pounds,
and in the opinion of the physicians
his death within two years was a fore

Doig undertook to cure this unpromis-
ing case. To the amaZement Of every
one, the lad is now quite cured. He
has put on flesh, he sings merrily at
his work, and all trace of tuberculosis
has disappeared.
