BOY SCOUTS GO INTO CAMP
Carrlngton Patrols Will Bivouac at
Valley City.

Carrington Weekly Independent:
Next month both patrols of Darlington
Boy Scouts will 60 to Valley City and
go into camp for week or ten days.
Patrols from several other cities will
be there, and it will be great time
for the scouts.
"A regular school of instruction will
be held under competent scout workers,
and the boys will be put through all the
instructions necessary to advance them
to higher degrees of scoutcraft.
Probably no single feature Of the
camp will appeal more to the Caring
ton lad than the opportunity that will
be afforded in the Sheyenne River to
learn to swim. Darlington boys must
go ut least six miles to find pool of
water and this important part of a
youths education has been sadly ne
elected in Darlington. "A competent
swimming master will be in charge of
this work.
It was originally planned to walk the
distance between here and Valley City,
but it has now been decided that the
trip be made by rail.

Postal Savings Bank.

Postmaster Bush has received notice
from Washington that this Office has
been designated as one Of the postal
savings repositories of North Dakota.
The order will go into effect on July
18th.
The first postal savings depository in
this state was established at Wahpeton
about year ago, and since then seven
or eight more have been designated.
The idea is to have people start saw
ings accounts, and have the United
States government back of the deposits.
Interest will be paid at the rate Of two
per cent, and denominations of 500 or
multiples Of that amount may be in
vested in government bonds and draw
two and half per cent interest.

CITY LOCAL

MISS Eleanor Lowe, who has been
visiting her friend, Miss Beth Covert,
left Saturday for her home at Ken
mare.
President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific was in the city Fri
day with some other officials of the
line. Mr.. Elliott hal just returned
from an overland trip west of the
Missouri river, getting information
first hand for improvements the N. P.
is to make. While nothing official has
been given out, it is assured that the
Observation-Disclosures City
line will pass through Oakes. Supt.
Sovereign, of the Minnesota division
met the president here and accom-
panied him east.
The extreme hot weather of last week
ended Thursday night with light
shower. A good rain fell north and
east. Since then the weather has been
quite cool, so cool that coat feels
quite comfortable. A nice rain came
again yesterday, it being quite heavy
at Fullerton. Crops are damaged some
by the extreme heat, look a little
brown in the high places. but around
Oakes there will be fair crop if con-
ditions are anything near fair from
now on. At Glendale west and south
the crops are badly damaged. Every
thing is looking fine between Oakes
and Devils Lake. The Red River VAL
ley is especially favored this year in
the way of crops.
Fifteen inches of rainfall is sufficient
moisture for growing forty bushels of
wheat and fifty bushels of corn per
acre. That is, provided it all gets into
the soil and is then kept there till the
wheat or corn needs it. One-half
pound of dried weeds per square yard
of surface takes up enough moisture to
reduce the yield of wheat twenty
bushels per acre, and corn twenty-four
bushels. The weeds take the moisture
that is in the soil where the crop should
get it. Examine the field of grain,
measure off square yard, cut all the
weeds, weigh them, and see if there
are not enough of them to very ma
terially affect the yield. Don't guess
at it, but actually cut the weeds and
weigh them. The time to get the real
reduction that they will make is at har-
vest, as those that are growing now
will take up good deal Of moisture be-
fore the grain is ripe and will gain q
good many pounds in weight.

Base Ball.

Sam Kettletson's ball tossers almost
met their Waterloo Tuesday evening
in game with the Oakes Married
Men. Sam called it an experiment to
see if 'week day ball would paw"
but some were more interested in the
experiment Of seeing whether or not
Sans team could play real ball. The
grand stand and bleachers were with
the M. M. from the start. They
rooted and Guyed Sans men-pop-
ularly known as the Lima Beans un-
til they couldn't play bali at all and
even some Of the extremely passionate
wanted to quit the gone and one did
quit. After nipe-inning game each
side had scored three times, and then
it was too dark to finish. Our Mar
ried Men team was not of! the slouch
variety, and although bit unseasoned
they played well and stayed with the
game all the time. Some Of the boys
are in favor Of putting this Much
Married team against the Glendale
bunch on the Fourth. They can play
just as good ball as Sans men. Gus
Strutz umplred, and with his shillalah
and six shooter was able to keep the
players at bay, when his decisions
were not just right. Dewitt stood
it well pitching for the N. M, and
cyan Green did the catch stunt. Nc
Dowell, Boyle and Jones were ut the
points for the ball fellows.
P. s. Sam is not to read this.

The editorial Meet.


to Devils Lake last week where the
North Dakota Press Association held
its midsummer meeting on Friday and
Saturday. The railroads were very
generous with transportation, it being
the last they could give before the
anti-pass law went into effect, and
with their families there were over five
hundred in attendance. This was as
large meeting as the scribes have
yet held.
The boys always have good time
when they come together. If Devils
Lake lacked in the way Of entertain
ment the boys could entertain them
selves. They had splendid band of
thirty-two pieces, that was credit TO
the association. Under the direction
of Sam Haislet of the Lankin Reporter,
they furnished plenty of good music,
and enlivened things in nice shape. At
these midsummer meetings very little
business is transacted, but the news
paper men took enough time off from
the pleasures Of life to enjoy an ad-
dress by Hon. James Gray, Of Mime
apolis. Mr.. Gray is editorial writer Of
the Minneapolis Journal and was demo-
cratic candidate for governor Of Mime
sofa last fall. His address was humor-
GUS and full Of good things. Editor
Welies of the international at Portal
told his experience with the cost sys-
TEN and Editor Burgster Of the James,
town Capital never tires Of that sub
ject and gave a lengthy address on the
merits Of the system.
Saturday was given up to sports on
the Chautauqua grounds. There was
a ball game between the Devils Lake
team and the editors and Umpire Rich
ter kept up his reputation as an um-
pire by stealing the game for the edi-
tors. There were all kinds Of field
sports, gotten up by the association, in
which all entered heartily. A good
game between the Devils Lake and
New England mines was a feature that
was much enjoyed. It ended 2 to in
favor Of Devils Lake.
iYe editor and family enjoyed until
Sunday afternoon at the lake. Sunday
. few old forty miners" (known by that
name since we made the California
trip enjoyed picnic dinner at the
Crary Cottage on the Chautauqua
grounds. In the party were Mr.. and
Mrs. E. "A. Wilson Of Bathgate, Mr..
and Mrs. E. M. Crary Of Edmore, and
Mr.. and Mrs. "a. R. Wright and son.
Our inclination was to stay here a
month or two, but we couldn't just
figure out how that flax crop was going
to pan out.
The Ryder auto party arrived at the
Lake late on Friday, and could enjoy
less than q day at the Lake. They
started back Saturday by way Of La
kota, Larimore, Grand Forks, Fargo,
Casselton and Lisbon.
The Monango Kid band, under the
direction Of Rev. "a. G. Engel, made
the trip with the editors. The North
ern Pacific and Great Northern rail
roads were liberal in giving them trans
portation, brought about by The influ-
ence Of Editor Lum Of the Monango
journal. The boys enlivened things on
the train, and the first day at Devils
Lake made all kinds Of music. It waa
