A SAFER FOURTH.

Fargo-and every other city in the
United States-should join in the effort
to have a safe-a sane-and a fireless
Fourth. What does it benefit human
ity to follow the old custom of having
dangerous fireworks and other explo-
sives? Manned and mutilated boys
and men add nothing to the country's
glory. The destruction of lives by
runaway teams frightened by explo-
sions doesn't make the country greater.
The unnecessary loss of valuable
property by fires from explosives used
on the nations natal day anniversary
certainly doesn't increase the wealth
Of the United States.
In the past the death toll has been
too great. The loss by fire has reached
figures that are alarming. All this has
been due to the fact the day was cele-
brated in an unreasonable and a dan
gerous way. The day should be OBJ
served In an intelligent and instruc-
tive-instead Of idiotic and destruc-
tive manner. II should be historically
Decentralization of aroused patri-
otism-harmless to life and property.

THE CROP CONDITIONS.

The editorial writer of The Mime
apolis Tribune finds things to commend
in the North Dakota crop situation.
He says:
Crops, like human beings, are beset
with many griefs before being really
for the reaper. Abnormal climatic
conditions, insects and disease exact
a toll each season. To a certain de-
gree deterioration is looked upon as
normal, but when the result is decided
damage over a large section it's effect
Is registered in the market by great
speculative movement.
In a year marked by drought over
most of the country the growing grain
is exposed to more than the normal
chances of loss. This condition is ag-
gravated by lack of subscil moisture,
making il essential that rains be fire.
quent and that the temperatures be
not too high. The spring grain crops
OF the northwest had their first set
back Of the season last week, resulting
in rather serious declines in South
Dakota and In parts of southern Min
nesota.
Damage, however, has been confined
within limits less than a fourth of The
northwest. The late rains, ii is hoped,
will show a situation by no means DIS
desperate as was indicated by The early
reports. Wheat, at least, is hard TO
kin and, while soil conditions have
been against the development OF a very
vigorous plant, rains and cool weather
may result In considerable recupera-
ton.
Turning to the larger area of the
northwest, crop conditions have main
tanned their promising position. With
the exception of South Dakota and
southwestern Minnesota, the rainfall
has been sufficiently heavy TO stimulate
rapid and heavy growth. In fact, the
northern two-thirds of the northwest
have been better favored with moisture
than other agricultural sections in the
country. A critical period, however,
was safely passed last week by the
drop in the temperatures over North
Dakota. The intense heat had begun
to develop weak spots in the crop. but
these were relieved by well scattered
local showers and cooling breezes.
Over the greater portion of the grain
area OF the northwest the most desired
factor for the proper development OF
the plants is a period of moderate
temperatures. With a record acreage
general results are not impaired as
long as present conditions are main
tanned.

wife of the clerk of the district court,
was badly frightened Monday after
noon about o'clock when on her re-
turn from shopping trip she found
thieves In her home. The robbers had
pried the kitchen door open and had
pried the hook OFF of the door leading
from the kitchen to the main part of
the house.
Mrs. Spalding entered the house
from the front and the thieves, hear
ing her come in, ran out the back
way. The kitchen door was opened
with screw driver, used as a pry,
and the door shows thirty marks where
the thieves had inserted the tool be-
tween the door and the casing. The
robbers had evidently just entered the
house as an investigation failed to
reveal anything missing.
