A BOXERS BEGINNING.

What makes prize fighter! Some
say that they are born and others
say they are made. And If we will
stop and think am quite certain that
we will find that there are very few
born prize fighters. A prize fighter
is made out of all classes and nations
If man has aspirations of being
prize fighter the first thing he will do
is to start hanging around with that
class of people and will in time show
that he has intentions that would
point in the pugilistic direction. And
if there is any class to him he will be
given chance to spar with those
that are better than he himself He
will box at smokers and try his hand
in battles royal, and if he can get his
name in the paper just once, why 1t
is almost settled that he is on his
way. And he in time acquires alarge
following, all of them his friends.
They tell him how great he Is and
that he should be the next champion,
all OF which is either the making OF
him or the downfall of his ambition.
There are always 90 per cent. more
downfalls than there are getthere
men, and such are the trials OF the
beginner.

difference between one race and an

THE BIG SMOKER AT Ell JEBEL.
This past Thursday night at Ell Je-

ored boys in the city participated in
the clever bouts that were pulled off.
The first big bout was between Scot
ty Williams and Joe Madison for five
rounds. Williams was cheated out of
knockout in the very first round,
making Joe take the count of ten, but
owing to the rule of the house. a
knockout was prohibited and Scotty
had TO finish the bout with Joe, which
ended in draw. This boy Scotty,
with the right kind of a trainer will
be world beater in the course OF

IMPROVING CORN.

Robert Lee, of Salina, Kan, is de-
veloping new sort of corn which he
believes will revolutionize corn grow
ing in the United States.
The corn on which the Kansan is
working grows far less stalk-and
much larger ears--than the old-fash-
toned maize. He is reported to have
had some success with his expert
ments, having started with seed corn
which he obtained from dwarf stalks.
accidentally discovered in his garden.
Thick stalks which are dwarfed in
height and throw their strength into
the ears rather than into luxuriant
foliage are sought by Lee. He is con-
fident his experiments this year are
working out as he desires.
Like all other branches of agricul-
ture, corn growing is still in it's in
fancy. Holden, the Iowa corn special
list, and the late DR.. S. A. Knapp and
other scientific teachers have done
wonders in increasing the yield of corn
through proper testing and selection
Of seed. But much remains to be
done.
The days of corn farms-where hum
dreds of acres are cultivated under
the direction Of one man In a slip
shod way-are over. Land has be-
come so high-priced that the ground
must yield more to the acre. Conser-
walton of soil and intensifcation OF
cultivation are imperative. The time
will come when good farmers will be
ashamed to have small yield Of corn
Soil analysis-the testing of seed-the
perfection Of fertilizers and the i'm
provement of the various kinds of seed
corn will make corn growing much
less of a lottery than it is at present

Grafton Record: In recent issue
Of The Devils Lake Journal, the per-
sonal organ of Gov. John Burke, we
noticed the announcement of the great
work being done by the attorney gem
eral of the state. The article in ques-
ton told of how many murder cases
the attorney general had recently as
sisted in and how he was now to
fight the cause of the people in the
United States courts to establish the
minimum coal rates recently held good
by the United States supreme court,
but which have been called into ques-
ton again by a rehearing of the case.
1t is evident that the attorney general
has come to the conclusion that he
needs a little advertising TO counter
balance the numerous and widespread
slams that have: been handed him by
the republican press of the state with
out regard to fractional utilization. 1t
will be noted, too, in this instance
that the advertising comes from demo-
cratic sources from The Devils Lake
Journal, which is owned by Joe Kelly,
the spokesman Of John Burke This
coincidence gives credence to the
rumor which has been rife for many
months, that in return for his efforts
in behalf Of Governor Burke during
the campaign of last fall, Mr.. Miller

FRIDAY, AUG. is, 1911.
CUT AND BALE HAY.

North Dakotans have an opportunity
this year to reap an unexpected har-
vest There is a hay shortage in many
states to the south. Kansas, Nebraska
South Dakota, parts OF Iowa, Okla
homa, Illinois, southern Wisconsin and
other sections report there is nothing
like SUFFICIENT local supply.
Owing to the early rains In North
Dakota the hay crop was more advanc-
ed than usual Because of this and
the shortage OF last year the crop was
cut soon. With the heavy rains since
there is in many sections a fine second
hay crop.
This is a year when hay will be hay,
and the farmers Of the state should
saw. every ton possible. The average
cost of cutting, baIing and marketing
hay is $3.50 per ton. There are many
localities in North Dakota where the
hay can be baled and loaded on cars
at considerable less.
In Illinois hay last week was quoted
at SIS per ton. That may have been
higher than the average quotations
but no higher than the price is certain
to go this winter in a half a dozen
states.
Why can't North Dakotans profit by
this great demand? They have the
supply, the weather conditions will be
favorable and the opportunity is one
that should not be overlooked.
OF course the best hay is found I'm
sections where the best crops are be-
ing harvested-and the farmers may
not have as much time as they wish
for making hay. There is, however,
an abundance Of laborers. Hundreds
Of farmers from South Dakota would
come into this state with teams and
do haying on shares.
Not a hay field should be left uncut
because there will be a good market
at more southerly points this winter
for every ton that North Dakotans
have to sell. It is an unexpected
sourse Of revenue that cannot be neg
lected.

was to receive the aid and assistance
of the governors friends in the com
ing primary.
Bathgate Pink Paper: 1t is about
time that the democratic state cen
trail committee called a meeting ia
arrange for the payment of accounts
outstanding, that there may be nc
repetitions OF court actions against the
committee. If there is a balance OF
accounts outstanding, of which the
opposition is making so much at the
present time, these accounts cannot be
audited and settled at too early a
date for the credit of the party. Things
of this kind, where so many are in
directly interested and no one partic-
ularly interested there Is always a
tendency to delay and put off, but
the point has been reached where &C
ton should be taken. The editor OF
this paper is a member of the com
mittee and is willing to contribute his
share towards wiping off this old ac-
count, If other method of payment Is
not available. and we have no doubt
such would be the prevailing senti-
ment with the other members of the
committee. Let us get together and
clean up the old business and clear
the decks for action in the coming
campaign, from which, we, as party
expect much both locally and national
ly. Let such campaign be hampered
as little as possible.

HORSE AND AERoPLANE.


At first glance any relation between
the horse and the flying machine is not
apparent. 1t is true that the efficiency
OF the motor Of the latter is measured
by horsepower-but that arises from a
fiction of nomenclature and not from
actual fact.
But the horse is nevertheless des-
tined to have an effect on the aero
piane-or rather the use Of the aero
plane.
The other day an aeroplane was
buzzing it's way low over the city OF
Washington when horse took fright
at the sound and the sight and ran
away. The occupants Of the carriage
to which he was attached were thrown
out and injured.
The occurrence has given rise to a
discussion In Washington and other
cities OF the necessity OF some muni-
cipaI regulations Of the use of aero
planes-that horses may not be fright
ened by their noise and that people
and buildings may not be injured by
any too sudden or unskillfuI "alight-
ing"
SO common has become the art 81

sport of flying that in the larger cities
some one is always out trying his
wings. Regulations, therefore, are
imperative to protect the people gem
orally from these dedglings-and the
fledglings themselves from their own
inexperience.
A runaway horse is to cause the
enactment of the laws Of the air and
to leave his influence on the science
of aviation--as he has already left his
name on the system OF measuring mo-
tive power.
Some persons contend that the horse
as motive power is to go-that in the
PARKWAY future such things as have
been mentioned win be the only relics
that will survive of an extinct animal.
Perhaps they are right and perhaps
they are wrong. 1t does seem as II
there Is an irreconcilable antagonism
between the horse and modern motive
inventions. First came the railroad
locomotive to scare him into fearful
panic, and even now--thougI the flesh
horse is familiar with the iron horse
he still regards the latter with ner-
vousness and suspicion. Then came
the automobile. 1t is only the blase
city horse that can look one straight in
the face. Last of all comes the aero
plane, which, with its buzzing, can
seem to the horse nothing other than
the approach Of monster singing
fly.
No wonder the horse runs away
but even runaway may result in the
accomplishment of good.
