although early sown grain is too far

CORN FOR FEED,

The best seed corn is that grown on
ones own farm. In selecting it, re-
member that next years corn will be
like the corn you select for seed.
Therefore select good ears that mature
early and that are borne on sdesirable
stalks. In curing the seed corn re.
member that it will not grow if it
freezes before being dried. Shuck
ears when they come from the field
and place in racks, or tie up with
strings, SO that ears do not touch. A
good place for drying is in the attic
or in an upstairs room in the house
provided the air can circulate freely
The corn will not dry we'll if placed in
barns or over grain bins in the gran
airy.
Don't forget to gather some seed
corn

PROGRESSIvES +.
. WILL MEET

August oath has been set aside for
the meeting of the various committees
OF the North Dakota Progressives, at
Fargo at the Gardner hotel. While
this meeting is primarily for the CON-
mittees it is expected there will be a
large gathering of interested Progress
sives. A general invitation has been
sent over the state. Notwithstanding
all reports to the contrary this meeting
has not been called to further the
candidacy of any one for office but to
lay plans and discuss ways and means
to spread the gospel of progress.
siveism and to effect strong state
organization. .
One of the most important things
to consider is the financing Of the cam
paign which will cost quite a sum and
to get the proper man to organize the
state. Negotiations are being held
with J. M. Axtel of Sparta, Wis, to
take up the work. Within three
months it is believed every county in
North Dakota will have strong pro-
gressive organization. No candidates
for the various state offices will be
noticed until the general meeting
which is to be held in January, when
the organization is complete. From
every indication the progressive spirit
in politics was never as strong as it
is today in North Dakota. The mass
f the voters are tired of the old gang
and it will be very hard for any one
having that halter around his neck to
be elected to public office again in the
state.

Starkweather is supporting pot gang

they are quiet and orderly and are be-

Mr.. Day says they ate royalty from his

sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, tur-
nips, beets and several other vegeta-
bles. A man who will not take the
trouble to have a garden in North d.
kota does not know what good living
is and is too lazy to find out, is Mr..
Days opinion. Before the frost comes
we are going to hear some more of his
garden experiments He has a patch
of tobacco that promises to ripen we'll
and some sugar corn that will be made
into sorgum before winter. Some pea
nuts are growing we'll and may mature
if the~weather keeps; right. A number
of gardeners hereabouts have expert
mented with sugar corn this summer
and they say while the growth usually,
is slower than corn, the sugar corn
has come right up with the sweet corn
this year and promises good yield and
to mature well. -. 49,.

LOOKS AS THOUGH IT
HAD "FIZZLED.'

s: }: Cusson, general manager
OF the Virginia & Rainy Lake Co.,
returned Sunday from Washing

ness in the Lorimer investigation,
being called to testify as to the
conversation between Mr.. Wiehe
and Mr.. Burgess on the Winnipeg
Flyer, which formed a basis of
considerable Of the evidence in
troduced to date relative to the
part OF certain men in handling
the Lorimer "slush" fund.
In conversation with a News
Tribune reporter, Mr.. Cusson is
reported as follows:
1t looks to me as if the affair
has tizzled out. The committee
at the beginning thought that it
had something definite, some
thing that it was seeking, but
now it looks as if they are up
against nothing. Some Of the
members express themselves in
such a way as to indicate that
they are tired and disguised with
the whole thing.
1.-The newspapers have report
ed that Senator Aldrich did not
support Edward Hines in his
testimony, but the public has not
been given an adequate idea OF
that testimony. l think that the
committee understands it fully
however, and Mr.. Hines was sup
ported to a far greater extent
than the average reader may
think.
9Th eCook and Burgess stor-
les have lost their weight, and no
longer enjoy the credence that
they at first commanded. The
same is true Of the Funk story.'

THE QUESTION OF CONTROL

Mr.. Parsons, former counsel
for the sugar trust, said in New
York yesterday that government
control of business corporations
is Socialistic. "Government,'' he
SAID, "should let commerce taxi.
it's course.
That means the course which
the few who have come into con-
troll Of commerce choose to make
1t take. Not the course that COM
petition or the law of supply and
demand bid it take, but the
course that Morgan commands.
And that, of course, means big
business conducted for the pur-
pose of profting it's captains as
literally as possible, not for the
purpose Of serving the people as
we'll and as cheaply as it can be
done with reasonable returns on
the energy and capital invested
in this public service.
Government control of corpor
atoms may be Socialistic. People
don't shy at that adjective so
skittishly as they used to largely
because they have pronounced
good so many things that have
been so mathematical.
But private control of industry,
without check or regulation, is
anarchy. And that 8 something
really to be afraid of.-Duluth

HELD TO GRAND JURY

Bertram Chandler Bound Over
Charged With Attempt to En-
tice Young Girl From Home.
Bertram Chandler, claiming to
be resident of Port Arthur, Can
ada, was on Monday given a hear
ing before Judge Carey on the
charge Of attempting to entice
Clara Curry, the 16 year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Curry, Maple street, from. her
home with a promise that he
would marry her.
Chandler, it is alleged, tried to
get the girl to go to Minneapolis
upon promise that he would Sc
cure her work in that city, pend
ing which she could make her
home with a sister of the defend
ant living there.
On Friday morning last the
girl is said to have left her home
at about 4 a. m. and walked the
streets until nearly train time,
when she went to the Missabe de-
pot, where she was apprehended
by her mother and taken home.
Miss Curry had left note for
Chandler telling him to meet her
in Duluth, but the latter testified
that ne had no intention of going
there at that time.
Chambers letters to the girl
were of a nature which might in
dictate a desire on the part of the
young man to marry the girl, but
as ne testified he had met her but
twice the story did not look plaus-
IDLE to the judge, who bound him
over and placed bail at $500,
which he had not furnished at
this writing.
