Plan Highway Across State

!, Minot, N. d., Jan. 10.-The
Minot Commercial club, which
originated the idea of establishing
a highway across the entire state
from the Montana to the Minnesota
line for the use, particularly, of
automobile tourists, has decided
to feature this construction as one
of it's main 1911 objects and is
about ready to take up the active
preliminary work.
Committees will be named to
interest the towns and farmers
along the route, and if they meet
with the success they hope for, the
road building will begin with the
first signs of spring.
1t is proposed to start the road
at Mondak on the western bound
ary and terminate it at Fargo.

pipes we're leaking and fastened
to turn the water off. About two
yards of plaster was all that fell.
It took the plumbers three hours
to fix the pipes. The pipe froze
under the floor in the third story.
When examined afterward it was
found that it saged and therefore
would not drain. This was RENE

HOW TO OBTAIN
PEDIGREE GRAIN
SUPT. v. R. PORTER OF The ACRlCUL-
TuRAL COLLEGE ISSUES FOLLOWING
ARTICLE ON PEDIGREE GRAIN

Nearly all the Government Ex-
pertinent Stations have one or more
scientific men who devote their
time to producing new varities of
grain superior to the old varities
generally known. The Minnesota
Experiment Station originated the
Minnesota No. 169 blue stem
wheat, Minnesota No. 1853 fife
wheat and Minnesota No. 25 or
Premost fax.
The Illinois Experiment Station
took q variety of corn and by Sc
lecting, through period of sew
eral years, obtained four varieties,
two of which had q high and low
oil content and two of which had q
high and low protein content.
These varieties were very different
from the parent stock and each one
is more valuable for certain pur-
poses than the parent stock.
The North Dakota Experiment
Station has also originated several
new or pedigree varieties of grain,
among which the North Dakota
No. 155 flax, N. D. wilt proof flax,
N. D. No. 81 Manschuri barley
and N. D. No. 939 winter rye, are
perhaps the best known.
These varieties of pedigree seed
grain have been distributed to the
farmers in small lots, generally
not exceeding five bushels. Many
farmers have rapidly increased
their supply of seed SO obtained
and have sold seed to their neigh
bors, but the great majority soon
let the five pedigree varieties so
obtained get mixed with other
grain. Many sell their crops to
the elevators. instead of supplying
their neighbors.
In some cases INSCRIPTIONS seed
men would sell large quantities OF
common seed grain as pedigree

THIRD TICKET
IS PREDICTED
REPORT STATES That LAFOLLETTEWlLL
RUN INDEPENDENT-EXPEC1S TO
GET BRYAN'S SUPPORT

Washington, January 6.-The
Brooklyn Eagle today prints q dis
patch from Washington which says:
President Taft has been in
formed that there will be third
ticket in the field in the event of
the nomination of Mr.. Taft by the
Republicans in 1912 and of Gov.
Harmon by the Democrats. The
third ticket will be headed by
Robert Marion LsFollette of Wis
consin and will appeal to the radi-
cal element in both parties.
"Credence is given to this report
at the white house. All the actions
of Mr.. LaFollette for the last two
years have been indicative that the
presidential bee has been within
stinging distance of his head. He
has maintained himself as the cham
pion Of radical legislation, has kept
aloof from Mr.. Taft and has re-
jected all the overtures made to
bring him within the regular fold.
Another bit of interesting in
formation that has come to the
white house is that LaFollette not
only expects to be a presidential
candidate in 1912 but also in 1916.
He expects to have merely try
out in 1912 but he is represented
as being reasonably confident of
election in 1916.
The Wisconsin man is said to
have figured it out as follows: He
expects the Republicans to nomi-
nate Mr.. Taft and the Democrats
to select Governor Harmon in
1912. Immediately he will pro-
claim himself the candidate of q
third party. He is hanking on the
support Of William j. Bryan.
THE two men have long been
personal friends and Bryan has
thrown his support to LaFollette
in more than one political fight in
Wisconsin. LaFollette also ex-
poets the votes of the Roosevelt
enthusiasts and a good proportion
of the Republican insurgents. He
takes the view that Mr.. Taft will
not be acceptable to Republicans
with advanced views on public
questions. Also he believes that
Judge Harmon can be successfully
attacked as the friend Of corpora
tions.

NATIONAL CORN
EXPOSITION
FOURTH ANNUAL CORN EXPOSITION. TO
Be HELD IN COLUMBUS, OHIO
JAN. 3OTn TO FEB. nth

VI
JAN. 3OTn TO FEB. nth
Columbus. Ohio, Jan. 7th-The
progrem for the fourth annual Ma
tional Corn Exposition, to be held
January 3Oth to February 11th, in
the eight immense buildings on
the Ohio State Exposition grounds
has just been completed, and pro-
vides for one of the greatest Ma
tional Agricultural ExpositioEs
ever held in the world.
The buildings are connected by
enclosed walks, comfortably heated
and brilliantly illuminated, in all
resembling great summer garden
with palms and plants and tender
growing crops, giving the visitors
q Whit of nature which will more
remind them of a balmy June day
than of the winter season.
This great National Corn Exposi-
ton will be q grand roundup of
all state agricultural shows and
agricultural meetings. The name
''Corn Exposition does not mean
that only corn will be shown, for
all grains and grasses, the prize
winners only, at the various state
shows, will be in competition for
the valuable National trophies.
More than thirty-fve states will
have competitive exhibits. Twenty
five state agricultural colleges and
experiment stations will have sclen-
ti6c exhibits, each demonstrating
its most advanced experimental
work. These exhibits, which will
be in charge of expert demonstra-
tors will deal in q practical way
with nearly every phase of the
science of agriculture. For in
stance, North Carolina will en-
phasize the cotton industry from
the growing plant to the manu-
factured article with cotton gin
and loom in actual operation, while
Illinois will especially emphasize
its soil work. Never before in the
history of the world has there been
such showing of results in agri
culture, based on scientific in
vestigation.
The federal department of agri-
culture will be represented with
its famous exhibit which fills two
large furniture cars, and which
has just been returned from the
international exposition at Buenos
Ayers.
Important among the many
meetings, exhibits and other special
features of this greatest of agri-
cultural expositions may be men
toned the meetings of the Ameri-
can Breeders association; the Ohio
Dairymen's association; the Ma
l .
tional Rural Life Conference, the
Ohio Conservation association, the
Ohio Corn Improvement associa-
tion and numerous live stove as
sociations. There will be special
features of vital interest to the Y.
M. G. A., churches, colleges,
schools, the farmer, and the city
man and their families alike.
Special entertainment features
will include q two-ring winter cir
Gus, band concerts with vocal So
loists, and moving pictures.
Speakers of nationwide reputa-
tion will deliver addresses daily on
the National Corn Exposition pro-
gram.

FEAST Of TABERNAGLEs.
Joyous Jewish Celebration Begins
at Sunset. Services at Local
Synagogue.

At sunset tonight the Feast OF Taber-
nacles, one OF the most joyous festivals
OF the Jewish calendar, will commence.
It will be tittingly celebrated in the
Synagogue in this city.
According to Holy Writ, the Israelite
is commanded to dwell in booths for
seven days, commencing on the fifteenth
day OF the Jewish moth Tishri, as a
remainder OF the time when the Lord
caused his ancestors to dwell 10 booths
when He led them out OF the land OF
Egypt.
As part of the ceremonial OF the day
the law ordaius that the Israelite shall
take on the first day of the festival the
fruit OF the godly tree, the branches OF
palm trees, the boughs Of thick-leaved
trees and willows OF the brook, and to
rejoice before the Lord" This is now
observed by bringing citron fruit, palm
branches, myrtle and willow into the
houses OF worship. In the Book OF
Nehemiah there is detailed descrip.
tion OF the celebration OF this festival in
Biblical days.
The festival is in intent and cere-
moniaI thanksgiving festival, inter-
twining gratitude for Gods mercy unto
the people OF Israel amidst the nations
OF the world, with thauKfulness for His
bounty and grace to each individual.
It is the harvest festival aud the earliest
Thanksgiving feast, the type after which
the American Thanksgiving Day was
fashioned.
Tho custom OF dwelling in temporary
huts or booths is not only to remind
the Israelite OF the wanderings OF his
ancestors in the Wilderness, but also
to recall to bis mind that God has kept
him throughout the year, amidst all
life's uncertainties. The festival has OF
late been used to encourage charity.
The fruits OF the field are brought into
the Jewish homes as a sign OF thank
fuIness, and after tile service are sent to
the hospitals and the poor OF the city.
The attempt has OF late been made to
have the children take an important
part in the observance OF the festival.
1t is the custom OF the synagogue to
signalize the close OF the holiday by a
festivity thoroughly characteristic OF
the Jewish religion, known as Simcbath
Torah-the rejoicing 10 the law. The
last section OF the Pentateuchal weekly
lessons is read on this day and is fol.
lowed Immediately by the reading OF
the first part OF Genesis.
