.Preahytsrians Meet,

Tie Presbyterian ministers of Oakes
Presbytery, that territory included by
the seven southeastern counties of our
state, convened for their fall meeting
at Enderlin on Tuesday of last week.
Most encouraging reports of the Pres
byterian work was broughtin. A num-
ber of new churches have been organ
lied during the past year and the old
fields are more fully manned and per-
fectly equipped than ever before in the
history of the Presbytery.
On Thursday of the same week the
Synod of North Dakota was opened at
Minot and continued over Sunday.
Perhaps. a hundred Of the Presbyterian
ministers of the state were gathered
together in this meeting to confer
about the work Of the state as whole
and to listen to inspirational addresses
by representatives of the various de-
partments of the church life. Rev. E.
Morris Ferguson Of New York and
DR.. James Wallace, President Of Mac
alester College, Minneapolis, addressed
the gathering in behalf Of the work Of
the Sunday School. The work of the
board Of Home Missions was presented
by Rev. ]. T. Henderson Of Mime
apolis and that of the board Of Foreign
Missions by Rev. Chas. E. Bradt, DID.
Of Chicago.
Much emphasis was laid upon the
educational work of the Synod through
the Presbyterian College at Jamestown.
That institution has prospered wonder
fully during its first year and gives
every promise of becoming a great
power in the educational life Of the
state.
The Woman's Synodical Society of
the state convened at the same time,
bringing about twenty-five more dele
gates to the Magic City. All were
splendidly cared for and came away in
vigorated and inspired with new cour-
age and hope for the work of another

Howl Raised Ny Corn.
First Prize.

Upon entry as contestant in the
Dickey County Pupils Corn growing
contest, received from Superintendent
Lowell six hundred kernels Of Mime
sofa No. 13, Yellow Dent seed corn.
In selecting the ground chose a plot
that was protected from the north
western winds by a hedge Of trees. It
was also protected from the northern
winds by hill as it was planted on the
southeastern slope Of this hill; on ac-
count of this slope the ground was
warmer as the suns rays fell on it more
directly. This ground had been pre-
viously manured for other crops.
After locating the plot the ground
was first plowed five inches deep and
narrowed twice. This was done about
the twentieth of May. I then planted
the corn in rows 3x3a feet apart drop
ping by hand three kernels to a hill
nearly all Of which germinated. As
soon as the blades appeared hoed the
corn and when about six inches tall
cultivated it twice and hoed it several
times afterwards to keep the weeds
down.
During the drought this summer
watered the plot five or six times from
the last Of June through July. While
watering my corn mixed solution Of
two ounces Of saltpetre to six quarts Of
water, sprinkling this on about two
fifths Of the plot. This gave nitrogen
to the soil and produced more vigor-
Gus growth. This corn became much
taller than the portion not treated. 1t
also produced earlier, larger and better
filled ears. had, from three to five
ears to the hill to this portion against
none or one Or two unripe nuhbins on
the untreated portion.
In all / raised about three bushels of
unhusked corn Of which fully two-thirds
was taken from the two.fifths of plot
treated with saltpetre. Ny exhibit
was chosen from the ears that grew on
this portion. ! husked my. corn Sept
ember 18th and it was thoroughly dried
in 2 dry, shady place before sending it
to the Commercial Club Of Oakes.
/ think that we contestants have
gained enough experience in corn grow
ing 90 Dickey county will think it pays
to have its Children's Corn Growing
contest annually.

Chiravari Party.

Chamberlin discovered that plans were
under way to make him and his bride
the victims of an old -fashined chiravari.
So much did they enjoy the discovery
that their would-be tormenters let
them think how easily they escaped un-
til Tuesday of this week furnished a
dark night. Then with plenty Of ar
tillery the attacking party, its NUM-
bers somewhat diminished by the sick
ness of wives and children and other
causes, met at the home of I. A. Fer
guson from which point scouts were ad-
vanced to report the situation. Clyde
was very busy that evening shelving
his pantry, presumably and did not re-
tire until late. Hence it was 1880 be-
fore the invaders took possession of the
outposts and some time later before
the fortress was entered. When the.
cannonading subsided Clyde sent word
that they'd be down right away" SO
the invaders sent their guns to the
rear and waited.
soon the groom descended the stairs,
favored his captors with solo on ,the
piano, and again disappeared upstairs.
Shortly he entered, introducing Mrs.
Chamberlin and her visiting sister, Mrs.
Barthing. Hardly had congratulations

ing q fire inthe kitchen. Then Charley

with little token of the good will Of

Auto Accident.

The automobiles of Morris planned
a treat for the old soldiers and their
families on Memorial Day, when it
was arranged that after the exercises,
the old soldiers and their families
should be taken to Hancock to greet
the old soldiers there. The day was
a beautiful one, and the trip was a
very pleasant one except for an
unfortunate accident.
While driving along smooth
prairie road in the southern part of
Darnen township, something went
wrong with the steering gear of Max
Trantow's machine. The front wheels
turned in such way that the machine
was thrown on its side and all the
passengers spilled out. Mr.. Tfantow
and Christian Smith were badly
bruised, II. L. Smith had his left arm
broken, Mrs. I. Mumbleau had two
ribs broken, and her little son and
Mrs. Cousins were also injured. Luck
lily, they were driving at only a mod
crate rate of speed and the machine
did not turn clear over. The injured
were hurried back to town in another
automobile, and given medical atten-.
ton at once, and all are now recover
ing as rapidly as could be expected.
Mr.. Trantow regrets the accident
more than anyone, but while he is a
new driver, it does not appear that
the fault was in the least his.
The automobiles which preceded
him went on to Hancock, and did not
learn of the accident until they re"
turned to Morris after enjoying the
exhilirating ride. ?

Weather and Crops.

On Wednesday night the temper
allure fell down to below freezing, and
tender garden plants were injured.
The weather has been rather cool all
the week, but has continued fair.
The ground appears to be very dry,
and yet most grains seem to be thriv-
ing. The soil of Stevens county does
not need great dealo rain to mature
a crop anyway, and some of the best
crops have been raised on very little
rainfall. Several farmers who were
in yesterday to attend the circus in
form us that small grains were frozen
down to the ground in several places.
Some fax was already up, and where
this was frozen, it will not sprout
again.
