in GOOD SHAPE
AT JAMESTOWN
MOST OF THE GRAIN WILL az
NEEDED RIGHT AT HOME
THIS YEAR,

jamestown, N. D., July 1S.-A mum
| Der of bankers seen here today in re-
gard TO the arrangements for furnish
ing money to handle the surplus crop
state that no difficulties whatever are
anticipated in providing funds for that
purpose. The crop is light and il Il
probable that outside of a few favored
localities there will be little grain for
Shipment, as 1t will be needed in other
parts OF the state for seed, -four and
home consumption.
Regarding the financial arrangements
of the banks, Vice President H. Il
Graves of the James River National
says: I'VE do not anticipate any diff
Guilty in finding money to move the
crops, for the reason that the crops ere
light. We have enough funds without
borrowing from other sources to han
die the crops, as far as any demands
that we expect might be made upon us.
The bank is not making new loans at
present. It is believed here that less
than half the usual amount of money
needed for crops at this time of the
year will be required from eastern
sources. The bank reserves are being
strengthened as rapidly as possible.
Michael Murphy, president of the
Farmers and Merchants bank, saws:
Banks here are in position to handle
any demands made upon them in NOV
Ing the crops. The main thing is to
ind the crop. A few new loans are
being made, and the reserves are all
right There will be little money re-
CURED this year for crop-moving pur-
poses, and such as is needed will lie
promptly furnished by the banks"
President ]. ]. Nierling of the Citi-
zens' National bank says; There is
plenty of money here to handle the
crops, and from present indications
there is little likelihood that eastern
banks will be called on to furnish any
special funds for that purpose this
year. Very few new loans are being
made. jamestown banks, 1t is safe to
say, are in position to meet any Iegiti-
mate demands that will be made upon
them. The banks reserves are being
strengthened, also"

VERY SAD AFFAIR.
Mrs. J. L. Henry of EdseIey Dies On
the Train from MINNEAPOLIS,

Ine IRAN from minneapolis.
Edgeley Mail: One of the saddest
deaths that has occurred. for some
time was that of Mrs. j. L. Henry,
which occurred last Friday evening,
while she was en- route home from
Minneapolis. Mrs. Henry had been in
III health since the birth Of her baby a.
snort time ago, and was taken to Min
neapolis, with the hope that the change
would benefit her. Last Friday even
Ing, in company with her husband and
Mrs. c. w. Sanborn of Medberry, Mrs.
Henry started on the return trip to
Edgeley. She was put in a berth, and
stated to the folks that she had never
had as nice ride in her life At a.
place named Milan, about 1870 miles
west of Minneapolis, she suddenly ex-
PRED, and the body was taken from the
train until the coroner could be called
Mr.. Henry went around the town to
see If he could get some place in which
to put the body of his wife until morn
ing, but could not find person who
would open their hearts enough to
Tighten the burden of his sorrow, and
he was compelled to put the body on a
board and leave 1t in the depot until
morning, while he and Mrs. Sanboru
sat up and watched during the lark
hours of the night. The body WAS
brought to Edgeley Monday morning
and the funeral held under the aus
pieces of the Rebekahs and the Odd
Fellows, Mrs Henry being a member
of the former order Besides her hus-
band. she leaves a family of small
children, who have reached the age
that they need the care and devotion of
a mother. The heartfelt sympathy OF
the entire community goes out to
Mr.. Henry and his children in their
sudden and sad bereavement.

CROP Loss GOOD LESSON
Believe Says The WiIIiston
Herald.

Williston Herald: Most people are
of the opinion that even partial crop
failure is a terrible calamity, but The
Herald cannot agree with this belief
Of course retrenchment will be in order
and little self denial will have to be
practiced and luxuries dispensed with
but this is not going to seriously injure
anyone. In fact it will be good for
the most of US We sometimes hear
it said of an individual that he cam
not stand prosperity, but this is ap-
plicable to the whole American peo-
pie and once in a while 1t is neces-
sary that they be given lesson In
economy. For several years every
thing has been on the top of the wave
and a good many people have been
going crazy with speculative heat.
They have been buying land and au-
tomobiles whether they had the mon
ey to pay for them or not
and nothing but a reversal of
some sort would serve to check
the fever. Besides this it will have
a tendency to make the farmers look
more to their methods of farming
and II 1t would accomplish nothing
more than to teach them to diversity
and introduce better farming meth
DDS it will be the greatest blessing
the country has ever known. This
is the one thing that Is lacking in
this country. We have the soil and
the climate, in fact so good that
farmers have got the idea that all
they have to do is throw the seed
into the ground and nature will do
the rest. IL farmers In other parts
OF the country were to follow the
loose methods Of farming that are
practiced in North Dakota they would
not expect to raise anything and they
would not be disappointed.

NOT NEEDED
While Western Part of State Is Dry
This Year Crops are Doing
Well.

Glen Ullin Leader: This is appar-
entity year of exceedingly dry wealth
er for the greater part of the United
States, and while the western portions
Tof the Dakotas is generally considered
land of less rain fall than some of
the states lying to the east and south
Of us, yet men are visiting Glen Ullin
every day who say our crops are as
Tar advanced as their own and we no
tice by the papers that where these
states report rain we have also been
equally blessed and the heavy rains of
last week were no more gratefully re-
ceived by our farmers than by those
IN other states. 1t may be that our
rain fall will never be quite the equal
of some parts of our country where
excessive rainfall causes loss of crop
and it is a fact we do not need 1t.
We have around us soil that will pro-
duce the goods with a moderate amount
Of rain and unless we prove the ex-
ception to all other parts of the globe.
the average precipitation will increase
as our land Is broken up and with our
population increasing from one and q
half to two million a year it will only
be matter of few years when prac-
tically all of our west will be under
cultivation and it is now well knowa
agricultural fact that the soil must be
in condition to not only absorb but to
liberate moisture as well in order to
increase our rain fall, and the eastern
parts of the Dakotas and the states
lying to the south of us fully illustrate
the fact. The old time hot wind which
spelled loss to so many of our early set
tiers has practically disappeared as The
agricultural line advances. So we
would say to those who may see Their
prospects of big crop slightly reduced
by dry weather that they are only cx-
periencing the same conditions that ex-
list in all the states about them ana If
this should prove year of less pro-
duction the prices will go all the high
er and the average farmer will break
even in the end. It is the chap who
works for SO much per week that will
meet the price and be the one to suffer.

NO MORE GRAY HAIR

1t is easier to preserve the color of the
hair than to restore 1t, although 1t is
possible to do both. Our grandmothers
understood the secret. They made and
used sage tea," and their dark, glossy
hair long after middle life was due to this
fact. Our mothers have gray hairs be-
fore they are fifty, but they are begin
ming to appreciate the wisdom of our
grandmothers in using "sage tea for
their hair, and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the adyan-
tage OF the past in that It can get a
ready to use preparation called Wyeth,s
Sage and Sulphur. As a scalp tonic and
color restorer, this preparation Is vastly
superior to the ordinary ''sage tea" made
by our grandmothers, and 1t can be
bought for 80 cents and 81 a bottle ct
almost any 6rst-class drug store. or will
be sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical
Company, IA Cortlandt St, New York
City, upon receipt of price.

EXCITING DAY
IN wheat PIT
DRY WEATHER REPORTS HAVE
ACTIVE EFFECT ON MAR
KET.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 1S.-Noth-
ing could stem the tide in wheat Sat-
urday, and prices rushed to new high
points all around. Bulls in the wheat
pit yelled when September crossed
$1.17 and sold to $117k. December
passed the $1.46 line by a fraction,
and July hit the big round figure OF
$125. 49,. 3D..
She has only started" said the
chorus of bulls in an uptown brok-
erage Office. Farmers stood about
watching the market climb. For
weeks Minneapolis has been full of
farmers from North Dakota who are
bulls on wheat and cave profits of a
goodly size. Most of them express
themselves as believing in still higher
prices.
The bears have so often been de-
feated when they have played the
market for reaction that they are
timid.
Just wait" said one bear, this
wheat is too high. Some day there
will be a big selling, the price will
break and the farmers will get shaken
out" AS often as bears followed this
idea, during the week that closed to-
day, they suffered losses. Although
they predicted at today's close that
wheat will go lower Monday, few had
courage to sell 1t in the face of a
crowd of triumphant bulls, who were
predicting that it will go up to fig
ures unheard of far in the market
history.
Canadian grain trade is much dis
turbed over reported losses to crops
in western Canada. Russia is send
ing out less favorable crop news and
Europe is strong, These are reasons,
it was said, for further rise. Few
traders knew what is best to do, when
the day closed. Some decided to
carry over long wheat on expectation
that Monday there will be a wild
opening and a great upward rush.
Others sold out, fearing that the rain
tomorrow over the northwest might
break the market.

Minot, N. D., July 1S.-According to
information secured at the local en-
ployment agencies the supply of labor
ing men available at the present time
greatly exceeds the demand, not only
in Minot, but in all the towns In this
section of the west where laboring men
gather.
While there are not many idle men
In Minot at the present time there. are
more than enough to meet the de-
mands of the local situation and many
of the men are leaving the city.
Farm laborers are hiring out as low
as $25 a month to work through hay
ing and harvest. The railroads are

Find RELICS OF

SCIENTIFIC VALUE.

jamestown. N D., July 1s-The frag-
ment of stone. about the size of a
dinner plate was brought to The Alert

field near the top Of a hill among a
number Of other rocks, and had been
broken off by a pillow. The special
feature Of interest is that the under
side OF the stone, or the part not ex-
posed to the weather, which contains
perfect impression of either a large
plant that fluorished in a distant age
or of marine animal, similar in
form to star fish, or member of that
family. The animal or plant or what
ever it was that left it's size and fea-
lures so clearly reproduced in the
stone, measures several inches in dia-
meter The stone shows a circle con-
tanning rows of small holes in regu-
lar and orderly arrangement, with a
central disc, or stem which appears to
have continued through the stone.
which is about two and one-haIf inches
thick.
At a first glance the stone looks
as II 1t was a petrifled sunfiower, the
small holes representing what had once
been seeds of such a plant.

Dancing Craze Has Grip on New York

dancers name, like that of Abou Ben
Adam, has led all the rest The
masked dancers at the rival vaudeville
theaters, are the latest examples OF
the music hall craze for dancing sen
sations. We had "story' dances, toe
dances, clog dances, cake walks, can
cans, everything, it seemed, that the
mind Of man has been able to invent
or resuscitate
1t remained, however, for some en-.
terprising manager to take advantage
Of the idea and give the public an en-.
tire evening Of contrasted and almost
unbroken dancing.
From the beginning to the end 1t
is almost one unbroken dance. Be-
tween the dances and between the
acts the audience has a chance to rest
its eyes and prepare for a new round.
Now a glimpse at the popular sup

big hotels would give stranger from
Oshkosh the idea that the hobble
skirt was quite as much Of a craze
in it's way just now as, we'll, let US
say, the dance.
No play, therefore, which attempted
to call itself apotheosis of the dance
could be considered complete without
an attempt to show how a woman
would look darcing in a hobble skirt.
The hobble skirt dance, to say the
