DRY FARMING
Supplemental Irrigation in Sui
phur Spring Valley

G. E. Bower, who is making dry
farm experiments at McNeal, CO.
chise county, Arizona, has written
to John T. Burns, secretary OF the
Dry Farming Congress, Spokane,
Wash, to bring the matter of sup
Elemental irrigation to the atten-
ton of the convention in Spokane,
Wash, October 3 to 6. He says:
Arizona is not credited with suf-
ficient rainfall to make dry farming
a success, and to be successful by
such methods in this arid region we
must supplement the rainfall by
pumping with mills or engines in
the winter and early spring, which,
together with the annual rainfall,
will ensure good crops.
"We have large valley here, the
Sulphur Spring valley, with some
thing over 1,O00,000 acres of splen.
did farming land on which supple.
mental irrigation could be practised
profitably.
"Our experiment. station for dry
farming is the first established in
Arizona and although this is only
it's second season it has done much
valuable work"
Mr.. Bower adds that great inter.
est is being developed everywhere
in the forthcoming dry farming
congress and he looks for a large
delegation from Arizona attending
the sessions in Spokane.

ORIGINAL SUFFRAGETTES
A Race Of Amazons Who
Fought Like Men In
Their Own Army

Fresh evidence has been discov-
cred of the actual existence of a
race of Amazons, women who
fought like men and constituted an
army entirely of their own sex.
Surely it will be welcome news to
the suffragettes and defenders OF
women's rights to know that even
in primitive times women could per-
form the sternest duties of men.
The suffragettes may think that the
discovery will shatter one of the
strongest arguments of their OPP
ponents that women are unable to
perform the, highest duty of q citi-
zen, which is to defend ones coun-
try in time of war,
The latest discovery concerning
the Amazons has been made at
Belmonte, In Central Italy. The
remains found here belong to the
Etruscans, a mysterious race, who
reached a high state of civilization
centuries before the Romans were
of any Importance in the world.
At Belmonte two ancient tombs
have been excavated from beneath
the ground. Around the stone
york of each runs a frieze depict
ing female warriors in manly cpl
sodes of war. The Amazons drive
chariots and ride horses. None
but women appear in their army.
One woman drives q chariot, while
another is fighting with spear OF
with bow and arrows;
They are invariably conauerinp
the men in their combats. They
plunge the spear and sword into
their male opponents with remorse
less ferocity. The poor men are
represented as fleeing for theil
lives or receiving the death thrust

the men, and have tremendously
brawny arms.
Within the tombs were found the
remains of two women of sturdy
frame, With them were their
bronze helmets, armor, swords and
spears.
1t is believed that one of these
women is Camilla, the Virgin Queen
of the Volscians, redoubtable war;
rior mentioned by Virgil.
1t was not possible to decide from
the inscriptions whether the right
breast had been removed in erder
to facilitate the use Of sword and
spear, an ancient tradition asserts
to have been the custom. This
has long been a vexed point among
archaelogists. The ancient Greeks
asserted that the Amazons We're
mutilated in this way. 1t has been
explained by the theory that the
work Amazon" happened to re-
semble the Greek works, meaning
without breast but was really
a foreign word with an entirely
different meaning. .
Upon this point it is surely q
significant fact that in the large
Amazon guard of the late King of
Dahomey the superhuous portion of
the bust was entirely removed on
both sides. 1t would seem as II
there were widespread appreciation
of the utility of this barbarous prac-
tice.
There is now a vast amount OF
evidence indicating the existence OF
real Amazons in many countries in
ancient times. Among the ruins q
Herculaneuni recently unearthed
were found some exquisite bronze
statues of Amazons in fighting atti
tude. The figures were dressed ir
distinctive national costume, differ
ent from anything worn by Greek'
or Romans, which seems strong
evidence that they were real peo
pie and not creations of the imagi
nation of the artist, who was |
Greek. .........
According to Greek legend, th'
Amazons were a race of womel
dwelling in Asia Minor. Thei
primitive home was in Cappadocia

BIG CIRCUS COMES
Date Set For Engagement Of Bar.
mum & Bailey Show in Bowie

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth will visit Bowie
Wednesday afternoon, September
28th.
The event was officially announced
to-day. The announcement is re-
ceived with unusual pleasure, first
because it is the Barnum and Bailey
Circus, and further because it has
something new in the way of a
parade, a complete menagerie and
an entire new equipment, which cost
the management $3,5OO,000.
The public understands that this
circus has always stood at the head
of the amusement enterprises of
the world. The spirit of P. T.
Barnum still animates its present
policy. He was the greatest show
man that ever lived. Under the
later guidance of James A. Bailey
the show still grew in size and at
tractiveness. There is scarcely a
point on the worlds map where it
has not pitched its fourteen acres
of tents during it's many years of
travel. 1t is known to the people
of Asia and Europe as well as
America. Royalty and peasantry
alike have applauded it. Though
an American enterprise, it belongs
in sense to all countries. 1t is a
world in itself, rejecting the Won
ders of every land.
The performance is given by
European talent. Acts take place
in three rings, on two stages, in a
vast dome and on spacious hippo
drome track. The main pavilion
seats $4,000 people. 1t is the most
remarkable audience room in the
world. The entire outfit of the
show is bran new. 1t was built last
winter in the foreign workshops of
the show in England. There are
1,500 men, women and children on
the payrolls. There are 700 horses.
The menagerie has been added to
until it is vertitble open book OF
natural history. Not a specimen
of interest is missing from it. In
all there are 1000 animals. The
only baby giraffe ever born or ex.
hibited in America is here to be
found.
To convey this vast army of peo.
pie, the animals and equipment
from city to city. five long trains OF
double-lenghth cars are needed. Ir
all there are eighty-five cars. There
are 400 performers. Among then
are the representatives of thirty.

UNIFORM OF SOLDIERS OF U. S. A.
If soldiers in uniforms are barred
/ from dance halls in Bismarck, why
not bar them altogether? Our uni.
form has been knocked for so long
that we feel it our duty to say just a
few words III behalf of the clothes we
wear. First. let us consider that in
all walks of life we must meet up
with more or less tough element.
This we are proud to say is more
noticeable in civil life than in the
army, as every man who enlists as a
soldier has an examination to pass,
that should he be undesirable he would
be rejected as such and could never
get among men Of as high a standard.
Since our arrival in Bismarck we
have tried to carry ourselves as gen.
tlemen, but have been prevented from
being treated as such for no other
reason than general dislike for the
uniform. We would like to have the
citizens of Bismarck hereafter con-
slider the man that wears the uniform

ourselves on being ;nen, and all we
want is chance to prove it.

Marmath come reports of prospects
of nearly a full crop. Paul Sonsnala,
west of town, has cut all his grain
except his fax, and says that from
all appearances he will have bum
per yield. He claims that his wheat
is even better than his last years
crop. The Kukowskis and other farm
ers south of town are in the midst OF
wheat harvest and all report far better
prospects than were shown before the
grain ripened. East of town the
wheat is mostly cut and promises an
average yield. Frank Will says
they have cut all of their wheat, one
hundred and ninety acres, and it is his
belief that it will average fully twenty
bushels per acre. G. H. Suit, who
raised bumper crop on a small tract
just east of town last year, has cut
and shocked this years crop, which
he says will equal or exceed the yield
of last year. Conditions have I'M,

DISGUSTING CASE

Fargo, N. D., Aug. give, the jury
in the case OF the state of North Da-
kota against Henry Fujita, find the
defendant guilty Of attempted rape in
the first degree" Such was the sub
stance of the verdict rendered by the
jury in the near-famous Jap case that
has been attracting so much attention
in court circles during the past few
weeks.
The story. whose finale is written
above, began on Friday evening, July
s, when Miss Lillian Agness Topping,
in charge of the Fargo Florence Crit.
tendon Home, was asked to aid a COL
ored woman, Mae Ford, in securing
the release of a little Swiss girl who
was being held prisoner in the apart
ments of Henry Fujita, at his Japanese
restaurant at SO Front street. 1t de-
velOped that the colored woman was
the paramour Of Fujita and, growing
jealous of his attentions to his little
prisoner, she attempted to get him into
trouble by calling the attention of the
authorities to conditions that had been
existing there for five weeks.
Miss Topping called in the assist
ance of the local police and it was
learned that the little Swiss girl,
Laura Bleiseli, aged Is, and a hope
less cripple from curvature of the
spine, had come to this city alone
from her home in Bluffton, Mimi, late
in May. Through some unknown agen-
cy she got to the Japs quarters on
Front street, secured employment and
found herself closely guarded and sub
ject to all sorts of indignities from
the Jap and throughh associations
with the colored people to whom Flu,
jita catered in his eating house.
The Jap was Immediately Jailed and
kept behind the bars until his pre-
liminary trial before Judge Miller, in
police court, which occurred on Tues
day morning, July IL. An interpreter,
Harry Imal, night bellboy at the Wal
dorf hotel, was secured and the trial
proceeded to result in the binding of
the Jap over to the district court on
bail of $1,000. His attorney Taylor
Crum, secured the bail and the little
Celestial was released.
Throughout the entire proceedings
the Jap maintained an air of humor.
Gus tolerance of the whole situation,
never seeming to appreciate the enor-
nifty of the offense he was alleged to
have committed or to consider the
consequences which would necessarily
result if he weer found guilty.
