COBBS sent UP
FOR THIRTY DAYS
PoLANDER WHO DREW GUN AND
THREATENED TO KILL WOMAN
WILL SPEND THIRTY DAYS IN
THE cAss COUNTY JAlL-JoRA,
THE REscUER, WAS RELEASED.

Frank Cobbs, Polander, appeared
before Judge Hanson in the county
court this morning and pleaded to the
charge of carrying concealed weapons.
Judge Hanson sentenced him to serve
thirty days in the county jail.
According to the story of the land
lady at So Front street, two men came
into her place Saturday evening and
Cobbs became ugly. He abused his
friend, named Joba. and drew a gun
on him with the threat that he was
going to kill Joba.
The landlady interferred and tore the
revolver from the hand of Cobbs, and
angered him a great deal. With the
revolver gone, he pulled out a knife
and started to fight the woman. Joba
then interferred and pleaded for the
life of the woman.
What Joba received for his pains
was a good sound beating. Cobbs
smashed his face into a jelly and the
blood streamed from the head Of the
injured man. About this time Officer
Coleman arrived on the scene and took
Joba and Cobbs to the police station.
This morning the landlady swore out
a warrant for Cobbs and he was ar
rested and taken before the county
court. Joba was released.

EQUALIZATION
BOARD FINISHES
MEETING OF THE EQUALIZATION
BOARD OF THE CITY CLOSED
THIS MoRNlNe-sEssIoN WAS A
SHORT oNE-No PROTESTS RE-
cEIVED AT ANY TIME.

This morning the city equalization
board closed it's sessions after having
been gathered every day for a term
of less than two weeks. The members
of the city council acted as the board.
1t was the tendency of the board
to reduce the assessments on prop
erty and in the greater part of the
cases this was done. Only in a very
few instances were the assessments
raised by the action of the board and
throughout the sessions reductions for
small property holders were consider
ed and acted upon.
One of the most remarkable things
about the meeting was the fact that
there were no protests filed with the
board, although the public was in
vited to do so at all times. There
seemed to be general satisfaction over
the city in the rate of taxation and
none of the property owners decided
to register kick.
The meeting of the board at this
time was not a long one. The body
was only in session twelve days, which
is much shorter than has been the
custom.

CAFES MUST KEEP
GARBAGE COVERED
ORDER is ISSUED BY THE BOARD
OF HEALTH DIRECTING Ho-
Tells. RESTAURANTS AND
CAFES THAT THEY MUST KEEP
GARBAGE CANS COVERED.

An order has just BEEN issued by the
Fargo city health board to the hotel.
restaurant and cafe keepers that they
must keep their garbage covered.
The board of health held a meeting
last Thursday and PASSED the edict
placing the ban on the open garbage
cans. Duke Woodlawn, the health in
spector. was directed to get out a gem
eral order on the new measure and he
is going to present the order to every
eating house proprietor in the city.
of which there are almost 100, includ-
ing private boarding houses and other
eating places.
BY the new order there shall be sta
toned at the back door of every eat
ing house an air tight can. Into this
the garbage must be placed and the
lid of the can must always be on it.
In an air tight manner, except when
filling or emptying the can.
With the new order it is hoped that
the collection of flies in the rear Of the
hotels and eating houses will be made
thing of the past. It will also pre-
vent germs from arising from the gar
bage, which has heretofore been placed
in open barrels or buckets.
Under the city ordinances there Is a
penalty for the violation of such law
and the health board is going to sec
that all of the points in the law are

How Farmer Can Tell Whether
His Land Is Wheat Sick or Not

underground. You will find also that
many OF the roots are rotted off and
perhaps some new roots are starting
at points higher up. You will find that
many stools have started and died even
though they are shaded from the heat
Of the sun.
Young wheat plants should never be
brown or dark colored below ground.
The natural color is white or greenish
white.
Plants of wheat which show the por-
tions underground creosote brown or
black colored win never properly stool
regardless OF the weather conditions.
They viii remain either few stooled or
a single stem sending up one central
or single stock If the land is found to
have large spots or areas in which most
of the plants are thus single stooled,
those spots may be looked upon as
wheat sick in the same sense as cer-
tain areas of land are now known to
be fiax-sick. If you have a nice piece
Of land which was properly worked
under corn cultivation last year in
which only scattering plants show tip
burn or creosoted roots and single stool
plants, you may rest assured that that
land was not particularly wheat-sick
when you sowed the wheat but that
you sowed wheat which had consid :
cradle percentage OF internally or ex-
ternally infected seeds--seeds which
contain or bore the spores of the wheat
root rot.
We blame the weather for entirely
too many things. I am writing this
statement not to prove that the wealth
er is just right for wheat but to inter-
est number of farmers in going out
into the fields and studying their crops
so that they can understand what is
meant by ''wheat-sick soil'' and what
a proper crop rotation might do to-
wards purifying such soil. Strictly.
wheat diseases must have wheat to
grow on; therefore put in some other
crops a while on such land.
If any farmer, after reading this
article, is unable to state whether he
has spots of wheat-sick land on his
farm or is doubtful about whether he
has pulled up any plants that are
wheat-sick or not, will send speci-
mems into my office with proper in
formation regarding where he got them
l think 1 will be able to explain the
matter so that he can understand the
portions of the land which are sick
and those which are not.

DULUTH BANK
FIRST in STATE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF pU-
LuTH STANDS FIRST AMONG
THE BANKS OF MINNESOTA
DOES A GREAT DEAL FOR THE
FARGO BANKS.

The Duluth Herald has the follow
ing to say of the First National bank
of that city:
The First National bank of Duluth
stands first in Minnesota and seventy
second in the United States in the rool
Of honor prepared by The Financier,
a journal devoted to financial matters.
The bank has jumped from ninety
third to seventy-second among 1000
national banks of the country this year
and the gain is considered phenom-
email one.
This bank" said Fred Irish Of the
First National bank of this city, "does
more for the banks of Fargo than any
other bank in that part of the coun-
try. There are several representatives
of this banking institution in the city
to attend the convention this week and
the bankers Of Fargo expect to show
them fine time. They appreciate what
the Duluth bankers have done for the
business men of Fargo and are glad
to welcome them to Fargo.

TO The Forum see a number OF
statements in various papers regard
Ing the prevalence of tip burn and sun
scald, blighting by hot weather, re-
garding the wheat crop. / am writing
this note to call your readers atten-
ton to an interesting fact that they
can corroborate for themselves if they
wish.
] know it has been very warm dur
Ing the past week and have no doubt
that such hot weather is actually more
or less injurious to the crop, but /
have examined various fields and var
ious plots of wheat for number of
years past and have learned that when
burn or blighted tops of leaves
show as they are showing now on var
ious wheat fields there is present a
root disease in the land on which that
wheat is growing, either placed there
In the seed which was sowed in spring,
or remaining there from the previous
crops So far as the land in the Red
river valley is concerned there is yet
sufficient moisture in the ground to
maintain the crop without blighting
in spite Of any temperature which
we have had up to date. When such
blighting has occurred it can be taken
for granted that the land on which the
blighted wheat is growing is wheat
sick
Any person who wishes to contros
vert or confirm this statement can do
SO for himself by going out to his fields
and digging UP wheat plants Let him
take chisel or strong butcher knife
and inspect the roots of the wheat
plants which are tip-burned, or show
the so-called sun scald. AT the same
time let him go on to some land where
there is less liability of disease; that
is, either on new land or on well work.
ed corn land and dig up some wheat
plants which do not show the tip burn
or sun scald. Then compare the I'M
derground portions of the two kinds
of plants and l think that the person
who does the digging carefully will
learn lesson with regard to crop
rotation, seed selection and seed treat
ment, which no other line of observa-
ton will give.
If you go out into one of your old
wheat fields, even though the soil is
rich and moist, you will End plants,
which are not properly stooling, that
have tip burn and already have yellow
or dead leaves at the base You will
find on digging them UP that the un-
foreground portions are creosote color
ed or have creosote spots on the stems

Mike kALAD A
RESPONSIBLE man
AssYRIAN WHO LOST BIG WAD
AT THE TWEEpEN HOTEL WAS
FORMERLY OWNER OF A BIG
DEPARTM EMIT STORE AT
cRooKsToN.

Mike Kalad, the Assyrian who claims
to have lost about $1,000 in the Twee-
den hotel last Thursday night returned
to the city today. Mr.. Kalad went to
st. Paul to stop payment on the checks
he lost. Kalad formerly conducted a
large department store in Crookston
and he is thoroughly responsible
man.
According to the story told by Kalad,
he arrived in the city on No. of the
N. P. and went to the postoffice where
he secured large amount Of mail,
In his letters were many express
money orders on the Northern Express
Co, which he had received as payment
for c. o. d. shipments.
At that time it was too late to get
into the bank so the only thing for
Kalad to do was to carry the money
around with him. In company with a
friend, who is also an Assyrian, he
went to the Tweeden hotel where the
two men wrote some letters.
While in the writing room a man
named Kane, who is connected with
the hotel asked him if he could change
a IS bill. He replied by making the
change and giving the change in sill
yer. Besides the two Assyrians who
We're together, there were only two
other men in the room.
After this one of the Assyrians went
to mail the letters and Kalad retired
to their room while he was gone. The
two men retired for the night, bolt
ing the door. The money was missed
the next morning.
While in st. Paul Kalad headed off
the payment on the paper. which is
the bulk of the money in the purse.
The actual amount in cash was not
large and he is a great deal better
satisfied now that he has stopped the
payment on the other money.
Kalad and his Assyrian friends were
not pleased with the treatment that
they received at the hands of the Of
ffctals, although they did not clearly
understand the laws in regard to such
cases. They wanted a general war
rant to arrest anyone, which they
could not secure, and this was a dis
appointment to them.
Kalad is a man of considerable means
and now travels for a house in st
Paul, covering this state and Mon
tana He sells goods to a string OF
large stores in the two states. In
Crookston, where he formerly con-
Quoted a large department store until
he burned out, he has a very high
standing.
