S7ABB|NG SCRAPE
IS A MYSTERY
Fargo Officials Have Puzzle in
Determining How Man
i, Got His Knife

Fargo. N. D., Aug. 9.-W. S. Stam-
baugh, assistant states attorney,
was somewhat puzzled over the par
,ticulars of a stabbing scrape on the
N. p. crossing near Broadway, in
(which w. Hatsol. white, and w. P.
Reace.- colored. were the principals.
both of whom were stabbed.
AN of the incidents Of the affair do
not exactly fit nor seem logical,
though the stories of all of the wit
,nesses examined this morning in the
police station tailed with those of
tho two stabbed men. The main
|tsuuble is to account for tie stabbing
spf the negro, when it is acknowledge
ed by both men that the white man
did not possess any knife.
It appears that the two men were
playing poker on an N. P. train, and
that through some maneuvering the
co5osed men. Reace, was the winner,
and tho game ended in quarrel.
Several men were travelling with
&ham and this morning testified to
the incidents on the train and what
they saw of the stabbing affair last
evening.

Rescs quarreled at the N. P. cross
ing near Broadway, and during the
ocuffle. the white man, was evidently
aided by another negro in the party
who furnished him with knife with
which to do his share of the cutting
~ any rate the man disappeared and
the knife fell to the ground and was
picked up by the patrolman making
the arrest and will be exhibited at
the hearing of the case.
Reace, the negro, received a cash
on the wrist and it is said stabbed
the white man in the abdomen. Both
were cared for at the police station
and neither was seriously hurt.
- The colored man says that Hatsol
had no knife when the fight began
and how he came into possession OF
It, is the point which is bothering the
witnesses, the assistant states attor-
ney and the police department, fol-
the story as told to them by those
who saw the affair, is quite an H.
logical one and a trifle unreasonable

Minot, N. D., Aug. s9-Hon. N. Da-
Wis. one of the prominent politicians
of the northwestern section Of the
state. may be a candidate for con-
gress in the western district in view
of the passage Of the new apportion-
ment act by which North Dakota gets

judge Of Ward county at the present
time and elected to that position by
big majorities In several sections, Is
looked upon as one Of the strong men
In the field.
L. N. Torson Of Rugby is being
looked upon as a Democratic possi-
bility for congress in the central or
second district. He has been prom
inent in the councils of his party for
''lo, these many years." and should
he make the congressional race,
would doubtless make a good run.
Joe Doyle of Darlington is his possi-
bic opponent for the place on the
ticket.

Brocket People Believe That HIS Is
Insane

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 9-Matt
Lehta was brought to the city from
brocket, supposedly insane. Matt
does not seem to be very bad off and
was meek and mild at the county Jail,
despite the fact that the people at
Brocket say he has been acting queer
for the past month, the period Of his
residence there, he having gone to
that place to seek employment in the
harvest fields.
Matt is Finlander and has been
IN the United States for five years. He
had position at Duluth and lost it
and seems to lament the fact so much
that it has caused his fermentation.

ilshed in Washington copied the ia.
vorabie comments of the Rural New
Yorker shows that the plan of this
new school is one which appeals Ia
those interested in practical agrieuI
tural education throughout the conn.
Try. This is also evidenced by the fact
that inquiries concerning the school
have been received by the College Of
Agriculture from prospective students
in many states.
Here is what the bulletin says:
"Of the owners, those who went only
to district school made an AVERAGE
labor income of 1918; those who went
to high school made 1922; and the
farmers who had more than HIGH
school education made an average la.
Dor income of $s47. A hish-school ed.
ucation is worth as much to a farmer
as $4,000 worth of per cent bonds"
Unfortunately the bulletin states
that the proportion of farmers with
high-school education is no larger
among the younger men than among
the older ones. This seems to indicate
that the tendency of present education
is away from the farm"
These conditions and tendencies are
undoubtedly as true in West Virginia
as in New York. The figures show
the value of education to the farmer.
The value of an agricultural education
should be even greater. which has
been proven by the thousands OF
young men who have taken modern
courses in agriculture,

Gently issued, entitled, Notes from
the Agricultural Survey of Tompkins
County IN. Y)." In this survey rep
resentatives of Cornell University
made personal study of nearly 1000
farms in Tompkins county, N. Y. The
total income of each farm was care
fully computed and then the net in
come of the farmer, after deducting
the cost of hired labor, all expenses,
interest on the capital invested, etc.,
was determined. This labor income
represents the income received by the
farmer for his own labor, outside the
interest he receives on his investment
Many interesting and valuable facts
of great economic Importance were
brought out by this study, but prob
ably none were of more importance
than the figures showing the relation
of the education of the farmer to his
prosperity.

OF the new School of Agriculture to
be started at the State University at
Morgantown next month:
"The West Virginia University is to
start a School of Agriculture this fall.
Domestic science viii also be taught.
The design of this school is to fit
young men for practical farm
work and to give young wom-
en- practical knowledge of
domestic or Housekeeping science.
1t is therefore intended to develop
farm makers and home makers. This
school is distinct from the college of
agriculture. 1t is not a preparatory
school or competitor of high schols.
1t will simply give farm boys and girls
