Dakota Leads
the Northwest.

Grand Forks, Sept. 27.-This state
of North Dakota, taken as a whole, is
the best agricultural country on earth,
II leads all Of the rich Northwestern
states invalue of crop this year and
it sets . new figure for dollars from
its broad acres. The total value of
the agricultural products of the North
western states are as follows: North,
Dakota, $3.50, 900, 900; Minnesota, sl4s-
600, 900; South Dakota, 1914, 900, 900;
Washington, 1853, 600, 900; Montana,
s42, Ooo, oo0; Oregon, s42, 900, 900; wy
oming, SIS, 900, 900. Note the fact that
North Dakota this year produces more
than Washington, Oregon and Mon
tana combined.
"Never before in all her history has
North Dakota produced so much mon
ey for her farmers" is the statement
of a Grand Forks banker of state
prominence. This YEARS. crop exceeds
the average for the past five years by
over $l1, 600, 600. The 1909 crop was a
good one, but it sold for only $780,
000, 600; at present prices Jul 1911
yield is worth $3.50, 600, 900. North
Dakota land at it's present prices is
the cheapest and best farming land in
the world. There is no better country
for the farmer or the business man.

Buffalo Farmers
Are Pleased.

"Many sections of the state are
sending in stories of exceptional
yields to the money centers." said a
Grand Forks banker last week. The
following from the Buffalo IN. d.
Express is a sample of some of these
reports:
Harry Christensen has threshed 81
bushels of wheat per acre from a 20
acre field.
Peter Larsen had a field of oats
which averaged ~ bushels to the acre.
Sprecher Bros. threshed 800 acres
of Blue Stem wheat, the yield being l8
bushels an acre.
w. L. Sproul has 40 acres of corn
which far exceeds the average for the
northern region.
John Pavlik has beets weighing IL
pounds each, and cabbages as large
around as a barrel.
This portion of North Dakota is
certainly making a grand showing
and visitors here from other states
say that Buffalo is surrounded by one
of the most beautiful agriculture:
countries in the United States.

URBAN CENTER PLAN HAILED
Proposal Of Director Durand to Dlsrs.
gard Geographical Lines Would
Swell Gotham.

New York.-The proposal Of tho
director of the census that In future
publications on city population urban
centers shall be used as the proper
units instead. of the arbitrary politi.
cal divisions indicated by city boun-
dairy lines is one that appeals strong.
ly to New York, for it gives hope of
enabling the city to surpass London
and to claim first place among all
the cities Of the world.
Although this city has spread out
almost evenly in all directions, it's
westward growth never has shown in
the census returns because it has
been beyond the boundary line Of
New Jersey.
Under the new plan all the popula-
ton in the urban area Of each large
city, as determined by the experts of
the census bureau. would be credited
to that city. This would add. about q
million to the present ofacial .popula-
ton Of Greater New York, giving It
100000.
While this would still be lover than
the population Of Greater London.
which 10 now placed at nearly 7,000,-
600. the growth of New York is much
moro rapid. and If the present rates
were maintained it would pass its
European rival.
Aside from the prestige of being tho
first city in the world. however, there
is little to be gained by additions to
the size Of the city. Popular senti-
ment. In fact. seems to be against
any considerable additions to the pres
ent administrative area. Z
For the present, most persons hold,
the problems Of giving the greater
city proper government are difficult
enough without further complications,
but the plan Of tho census authori.
ties. which would give the city credit
for the population logically belonging
to 1t without adding to its actual
area, is regarded with favor.

Want Cheaper Cocktails.

Congress became acquainted at the
extra session with a much harassed
and downtrodden class of people, the
men who frequent the cocktail route"
and imbibe mixed drinks over the pol.
ished mahogany bars. These poor
people, gazing at u slice of lemon in
their favorite beverages, figured that
if the "farmers' free list" could only
include lemons, the price of that juicy
fruit would be less and the quantity OF
flicker" in their glasses could be
made more generous. Their cry for
free lemons" was pitiful, but if
someone would only start a cry for
"free %juleps'', what an answering echo
would rise to heaven! &

One OF its buildings was the first Amer

The remarkable growth OF the Catholic
Church in this country was forcibly
brought out by Mgr. Russell. OF this
city, in his recent address at the lay
ing of the corner stone Of st. Eliza
beth's Church in Baltimore, when he
said:
Fifteen years ago the two largest
ncn-Catholic denominations-the Metho-
dists and Baptists-combined numbered
100000 souls more than the Catholic
Church. To-day the Catholic Church has
surpassed that, and has 100000 more
members than these two denominations.
The explanations of this are many, but
the fundamental one is the fact that
Christ is the corner stone OF the Catholic
Church. 1t is the Curch TO which He

SOME FACTS REGARDING
THE SPIRAL VOLPLANE

When an aeroplape is in midair and
its motor stops, the aviator is COM
PEELED to perform what is known in
aero Technology as a "volplane" to
earth. That is, by changing the direc-
tion of the aeroplane's course to a
gentle negative angle. the attraction
of gravity is utilized to maintain its
forward motion. The sleeper this
downward glide. the more speed is
realized. up to a certain point, with
comparative safety.
Should the aviator depend upon the
momentum already attained before the
cessation of his motors, he takes a
very perilous risk. that is. at any con-
siderable altitude. In such a case,
when the forward motion became in
sufficient to continue to support the
machine, a sickening plunge would be
the result, which would end only in
a horrible disaster.
1t seems, at the present time, that
the volplane is an important factor to
consider. Until the perfection and
general use of the dual power plant
lone containing two or more motors
which are able to run coupled or in
dependent of each other), 1t is of vital

The building was given by Mrs. Mary
Emery, of Cincinnati, and the furnishings
by individuals and organizations. Many
women resident in different cities have
furnished rooms as memorials.
The department expects to erect at PAN
anna an association building that will
equal, perhaps surpass, the Newport one.
No money is yet in sight for II, but the
need will soon be, 1t learns, since the ca
nal fortifications are to surpass in extent

Locations have not yet been decided upon

also hoping to erect a great building at

Coast Capitalization is TO be made. and
at least 10000 men will be stationed
there.
Growing out of the association service
with troops while guarding the American
frontier from Mexican incursions last
winter and spring. appeals for new build
ings from enlisted men themselves, with
approval of government officers, have
reached the association from Fort Sam

the Jefferson Barracks. in st. Louis; Co
lumbus Barracks. Ohio; Fort Logan
Colo; Fort d. a. Russell, Wyo.; Fort Nc
PhersOn, Ga, and Fort Benjamin Harri-

to erect headquarters at some of these
points, but it win be guided by the gov
