Formula Given Out BY Field Men After
LONG Experimentation.


Fergus Falls. Mimi, Aug. 1s.--The
field men Of the state entomologista
office have been carrying on expert
mentg with the newly discovered poi
son, sodium arsenite. to ascertain what
proportion should be used In spraying
grain for the construction Of grasshop-
pers, and are now ready to give out the
proper formula, which is as follows:
Sodium arsenite, pounds; water, 1870
gallons; molasses. III gallons. For
smaller quantity: Sodium arsenite, /
pound; water, so gallons, molasses,
quarts.
The sodium arsenite should be dis
solved in the water and the molasses
stirred in. The spraying should be done
in the early morning. Fifty gallons of
the mixture should spray an acre, and
the cost, exclusive Of labor, win be only
about 80 cents an acre. For spraying
gardens, about half the strength should
be used.
The experiments have been carried
on on tract of land just outside
this city. AS the effectiveness of the
poison as remedy for grasshoppers
was not discovered until late In the
season, grain was planted on the tract
and tests have been made to find out
what strength could be used without
injuring the growing crops.

PLASTERER HELD
UP LAST NIGHT
MAN HAD sis IN HIS POCKETS
WHICH WE'RE REMOVED BY
TWO HoLDUP MEN SHORTLY
AFTER Q O'CLOCK LAST EVEN
ING-5ELlEvED TO BE LOCAL.

Another daring holdup was per-
petrated last night when a plasterer
by the name Of Hudson, better known
as "Hud", was held up on the north
side.
Hudson was en- route home from
the down town business district, when
he passed a dark alley. AS he swung
by the alley he was attacked from the
rear by two men who threw him to the
ground and went through his pockets.
The vandals rified all OF his pockets
and took all the money that he held.
which amounted to something over SIG.
After kicking him once in the ribs,
they scooted OFF in the darkness and
We're not seen by their victim again.
Hudson Is Of the opinion that the
men who committed the crime were
local men. He had a check cashed
in store and believes that the rob-
bers or some of their confederates
saw him get the money and used their
knowledge to further their end.
There are at the present time a num-
Der of men about the city without any
visible means of support. Many of
these men dress well, eat well, smoke
good cigars and spend their money
freely. The theory has been advanced
by an N. p. detective that these men
who have apparently little to do, are
the parties who are following the hold
up game around Fargo. The fire.
quency with which the men have
worked and the accuracy of their
knowledge regarding people with
money and the location of the scenes
of the crime where a quick getaway
can be made, all would go to indicate
that the men are local.
The police are making every effort
to stop the robberies that have been
going on in the city for the last two
months. Men have been held up at all
hours of the day and night and the
vandals who have been doing the
deeds seem to have no fear of being
caught in the act.

BIG PREP ARATIONS
FOR ELK'S BANQUET
EXALTED RULER MDoNALp AND
BUILDING COMMITTEE PREPAR-
ING FOR IMMENSE MEETING ON
SEPT. s-covERs WILL Be LAID
FOR $50 ELks.

Elaborate and extensive preparations
are being made for the big booster
banquet of the b. p. O. Elks to be
held at the Elks' club on Saturday
evening, Sept 3. Exalted Ruler Nc
Donald and the members Of the build
ing committee are endeavoring to
make this event one of the biggest in
the history of the Fargo lodge.
1t will not be the ordinary kind OF
a repast which is usually given at the
Elks' meetings that will be the pro-
gramme for that evening, but regular
banquet, to which Mr.. Mcdonald will
give his personal attention. He VIII
endeavor TO make 1t something to be
remembered in the annals Of Fargo
Elkdom, and covers will be laid for
$50 members.
At that the time the building COM
mittee, consisting Of C. G. Schuyler.
w. J.. Price and G. o. Smith, will make
its final report to the lodge with ref
erence to the proposed building and
purchasing scheme, letting the lodge
know exactly just how the cost OF the
purchase of the present building will
be and what can be accomplished for
the same money in the purchase OF
other properties in the city.
Definite action will be taken at that
time, and the work started toward the
Fargo Elks' home.
Il want every man to attend the
September booster banquet who Is a
member Of the order, and the only
excuse for his not being there Is that
he Is either confined to his bed or Ii
out Of the city at point too far to
return before the night of the meet
ing
Everyone is enthusiastic about this
and all want to help the exalted ruler
to make it a most successful meeting
and banquet from every standpoint
AT that time probably there will be a
number of applications acted on, SO
that big initiation may be looked
for in November.
