A Demonstration Of Stun p
Blasting and Flowing Land
With Dynamite.

AS already announced in the
advertising columns OF The
Robesonian, a representative of
the Du Pont Powder Company
will give a demonstration OF
stump blasting near Lumberton
on the farm of Geo. G. French.
In addition to showing how to
blow out stumps, the representa-
tive of the above company will
also demonstrate how to pillow
land with dynamite, that IS, sub
soil blasting. an operation which
has been performed with wonder
full success in certain parts OF
the country, particularly by Mr..
J. H. Caldwell. who used dyna-
mite with excellent results tor
subsoil blasting on some farm
land of his near Spartanburg,
S. c., prior to planting it with
corn last spring. These results
have shown that subsoil blasting
is no longer an experiment ano
it will be worth while for every
farmer interested to be on hant
and see just how the operation
is performed. 11-23-4t

FIGHT OVER WOMAN
Oklahoma Swell Set Has Wild
West Time While at a
Society Affair.
TWO MEN WERE WOUNDED

Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 13.-In a shooting
ARRAY in the presence Of score of
Tulsa's society women in the Tanana
club house six miles east of here, late
Thursday night. w. o. Graybill. pro-
duce merchant of Kansas City, was
shot and probably fatally wounded; j.
J. Buck, a local capitalist, caught a
bullet in his shoulder, and waiter
got bullet hole in his hand. The
police are looking for Walter Fawcett,
well known clubman.
Buck is said to be in dangerous
condition and is unconscious. Gray.
bill showed improvement today, but is
not out of danger.
Tanana club is one of the most fash.
ionable country resorts in this section
of the state.
An eyewitness Of the shooting said
that the trouble originated when Buck
was found dancing with the wife of a
local grain dealer by her husband. The
latter objected and Buck banteringly
offered to fight him for possession OF
the woman. They came to blows it is
asserted. ....
Buck received the worst of the en-
counter and soon disappeared. Shortly
afterward he began shooting at the
house, from under a large tree on the
outside. He emptied his revolver in
the direction of the club house dining
room, and one of the bullets hit Gray
bill
Walter Fawcett, manager OF the
place, then opened fire on Buck with
his automatic revolver and succeeded
in placing a bullet in Bucks shoulder
All of this time the men and women II
the house were standing on tables OF
chairs loudly singing:
What the hi do we care"
Many local business men who's
wives were absent from the city yes
terday rushed to Tanana in automo
biles, and a number of them fount
their wives in the club house. 1t wa
learned that a number of the womel
at the house last night were the wives
of prominent state officials, while ;
few are from neighboring states.

Berlin. Aug. IA demand for mil
itary service for women is the latest
phase of the extreme feminine move
ment in Continental Europe The Ar,
dent advocates Of complete equality
between the sexes argue that as they
claim right to share the political
privileges of the male sex they must
also be prepared to take on themsel-
yes those burdens that now are loaded
solely and exclusively on mems
shoulders.
One OF the elementary duties of cit
izenship for men in the countries of
Continental Europe is to serve the
Fatherland as soldier for fixed
period, and the feminists now declare
that the same obligation should be
placed on women to serve their own
country in the same way but with one
distinction.
The feminists. or at least most Of
them, do not claim that women should
actually fight side by side with their
husbands and brothers In the front
line of battle, but that they should
be trained to perform such military
services as are adapted to their ply
steal inferiority to men.
Primarily it is suggested that wom-
en- should be utilized for ambulance
work, and also for certain auxiliary
departments of the army, such as
the commissariary, and similar sec
lions of a country's military forces.
Tho iv,fc OF ny tn thov
even to perform such auxiliary and
supplementary duties would necessi-
tate a thorough knowledge Of the use
OF modern weapons. because there are
cases OF emergency in which auxiliary
troops might find it necessary to de,
fend themselves against some sudden
and unexpected attack: consequently
demand is put forward for the mill.
t2ry training of all girls in all the
schools of the country. public and pri
vate alike.
The feminists propose that girls
be drilled and trained in the use OF
rifles and revolvers sufficiently to en-
able them to use such weapons in cir
cumstances of urgent necessity. The
employment of women in the auxil
larry departments of the army would
increase the number of combatants
available for service in the front hight
ing line, and ought therefore, the,
say, to be warmly welcomed by every
government and minister Of war
A small section Of the feminists e

that women should become soldiers In

TIA. C. HOLDS MEETING
One of the Best Meetings Of the Trav-
elers' Assembly Club of NJ. ..
Held This Week.

One of the most successful meetings
Of the T. A. c. was held in Fargo this
week at the Waldorf hotel. The event
eclipsed the one recently held at Wah-
peton, in every particular, and the
members of the Travellers Assembly
club had one of the biggest gatherings
at the Fargo meeting that has ever
been recorded.
The banquet and dinner was held in
No. 700 at the Waldorf and it was all
that the room could do to find room
for the tables for the hungry knights
of the grip. Billy Boyd had prepared
the best that the Waldorf provides,
for the event, and everything went off
in apple pie order
Following the banquet a number of
the travelling men gave short talks.
Jimmy Beals was the stellar perform
er of the evening and the subject of
his toast was, Selling Cold Fountains
Is Cold Business In Cold Weather.
The coal men were present to a man
and they were represented by Fl. o.
Malley, who gave a stirring address
on A Kiss For One Blissful Moment
In Front of a Coal Fire.
The next meeting of the T. A. c.
will be held in Grand Forks or Fargo
