VELvA TO BID
FOR NEXT YEAR
Again Wants the Northwest
ern Summer School-Made
Success During Summer

Velva, N. d., Aug. 21.-Feeling that
it has demonstrated the fact that it is
quite able to care for the summer
normal school for the northwestern
counties of North Dakota, Velva will
make a bid for the next annual sum-
mer school. a decision to that effect
having already been made by the Vel
va business men back of the project.
The question of location is determined
by the county superintendents of the
various counties interested, and the
Velva application will be laid before
them when they hold their annual
meeting.
Minot, which had the summer school
seven years without interruption,
yielded to this city this year. Minot,
however, must be recognized as
strong competitor for the school, es-
pecially SO after the new state nor
NAL school is established. as there
doubtless will be tendency towards
giving the summer session to the
normal school, that being the practice
followed in the eastern counties of the
state where the several educational
institutions are located.

URGE BUILDING
OF NORTH LINE
Stanton and Other People
Along That Line Want the
Railroad This Year

Stanton, N. D., Aug. 21.-Urgent de-
sire Of the people in the towns along
the proposed Mandan to Stanton rail-
road, the grade for which has already
been constructed, is found in the fact
that petitions are being circulated
throughout the district in which the
people waive the right of protest rel
ative to service during the first year
that the line is in operation. This
is to overcome the objection that has
been raised by the railroads that it
cannot operate the branch line at a
profit under the service that would be
required if the strict letter of the law
was followed.
There is large amount of grain
through the district that is being tap
ped, and one of the particularly Turing
advantages that is set forth by the
parties interested is the fact that con-
siderable grain that is now hauled
over the 500 road will go to the North
ern Pacific.
The railroad committee of the Man.
dan commercial club and the COM
mercial club of this city are work
ing together on the proposition and
are hopeful OF success

JAIL BREAKERS
ARE At LARGE
Supposed That They Have
Found Hiding Place in the
Turtle Mountains

Bottineau, N. D.. Aug. 21.-Charges
of Jail breaking in addition to those
already lodged are now OH file in Bot
tineau county against G. F. Mefford of
Bemidji, Nlinn., and Paul Gore, the
former convicted of brutal assault on
woman, and the latter convicted Of
blindpigging. They made their es-
cape in a manner that indicates that
outside assistance was procured.
Roads leading to Canada have been
covered almost constantly since a
few hours after the men made their
escape, but absolutely no trace of
them has been found, and the officials
have been led to believe that the Jail
breakers are hiding in the Turtle
mountains.
The fact that the main corridor door
had been unlocked and relocked after
the men were out gives the authori-
ties a strong suspicion that someone
on the outside was connected with
the Jail delivery, and efforts are be-
ing made to locate the guilty party.

DOCTOR VICTIM
OF An ACCIDENT
His Machine Driven Into Pole
and He Crawls From Car
As Gasoline Takes Fire

Berthold, N. D., Aug. 21.-Dr. A. A.
Husser Of this city has two broken
ribs and was seriously bruised from
head to foot while his automobile was
entirely destroyed by fire as result
Of running into telegraph pole about
a mile and half from the city. DIR.
Husser had to crawl out of the ma
chine on his hands and knees after
the accident and barely escaped with
his life as the gasoline feed pipes
sprung leak and there was an ex-
plosion when he got only a few feet
away.
In that condition he was compelled
to lie while the flames licked up the
machine, being unable to make any at
tempt at preventing its destruction.
The force of the impact with the
telegraph pole was such that he was
thrown against the steering wheel,
receiving his injuries in that manner.
Attempt to avert mudhole was re-
sponsible for the accident.

THE MARKETS

of congressional Investigations of cor
porate affairs, the commerce commits
sion decisions adverse to railroad rate
Increases, and the prospect of tariff
legislation the coming winter were
discouraging factors. Reports Of con-
certed demands from railroad laborers
for higher wages threatened trouble
in another direction.
The fall in stock prices from the
high level Of July is accepted as an
accurate measure of the disappoint-
ment of earlier hopes of the rate of the
revival which was to take in business
and industry. 1t cannot be said that
confidence is impaired, that the recov-
cry is to take place, in spite of it's
delay.
The July foreign trade figures show
the carrying over of last years fav-
orable conditions into the current
year.
The banking position of the country
is pointed to as almost unprecedented
ly strong. Credits are not extended
and mercantile stocks are said to be
universally low as a consequence of
hand to mouth buying for a long pc
riod. Financing on an extensive scale
has been accomplished since the first
of the year and corresponding re-
sources for outlay supplied.

THE FINANCIAL
TRACE REVIEW
Trading Was Centered in a
Few Special Stocks-Re-
action On

New York, Aug. 21.-With occasion
al intervals OF resistance prices of
stocks were forced last week to new
levels for the year, although a sub
stantial rebound set in before the end
The volume Of selling gave rise to
constant surmise as to it's sources and
varying explanations of it's motives.
A conspicuous fact was the enorm-
GUS congestion of the dealings in a
handful OF stocks. which have served
as counters for the principal specu-
lation for many months past, especial
ly Union Pacific, United States Steel
and Reading. The former particular
ly was the subject of unending gossip
of internal dissension, selling out of
holdings of retiring capitalists or es-
tates and coming dividend reduction.
Outside the immediate turmoil of
the stock exchange, cases are dis
cernible for. the decline of more gen.
eral application. A contrast of the
business outlook and promise with
that of the early year in itself ac-
counts for much of the readjustment
that has taken place.
The fact that an ill-judged specula-
CIOu Wdo peISlSleu III UeSplto Wdrl-
ing events up to the latter part of
July, when highest prices for the year
were made, goes to explain the vulner-
able position of the market under
necessitious liquidation. Transfer of
over $50,000,000 cash from bank re-
serves to government vaults, in pay
ment for Panama canal bonds, upset
calculations of money market re-
sources.
From an early promise in May and
June for bumper crops of wheat and
corn, deterioration had brought down
the promise on August 1 to a de-
ficiency of 870,000,0OO bushels in yield
of wheat. corn and oats. compared
with last year. Bank clearings, mer-
camille returns and steel trade statis-
tics, instead Of the rapid trade recov-
cry looked for, have disclosed only
gradual progress and in some cases,
stationary conditions.
These conditions dulled the specula-
tive appetite and left speculative buy

tions had carried prices. The series

CONTEST new
PLAN ADOPTED,
The Mandan Automobile Club
Takes Unique Step to Bring
About Good Roads

NAMED for the Mandan Automobile
club. recently organized, ito launch
a new plan of road Improvement
work that bids fair to become unusu-
ally popular, and which, will result
in the best kind of road work on the
highways leading out of this city.
The plan is one in which competition
plays an important paft and forms
the basis for what the club believes
will result in successful road cam.
paign.
Seven roads have bei,n designated
on which the club will do work. and
on each of these roads committees
have been named to take, charge. Then
Will come the competition for the best
work, and as a result the work
throughout the district that will be
covered will be decidedly good.
Evidences of co-opera ton between
the automobile owners and the farm
ers in the matter of road work ia
found in the experience of w. A.
Lanterman, prominent lMandan man
who had been assigned to stretch
of road south of the city. On his wsY
out he pulled out all the stones that
were In the road, and was surprised.
on returning back over the road, to
find that farmers along the way had
gotten the spirit of the thing and had
filled all the holes, leaving the road
in good shape.
Some day this week will be set
aside by the club for general road
work, and on that day all the road
committees will go out.
The manner in which the club MEM
bership has been divided for the road
improvement campaign provides for
fourteen members for, the Mandan tn

each for the McBratney, Center. New

Scraping The Bark OF Fruit Trees

Hall a century ago it was the custom
OF progressive farmers to scrape the
rough bark OF their fruit trees, scrap
ing OF all that could be detached in
that way after which whitewash was
applied as lar up as the trunks as could
be until the limbs were met with. There
was no scale of the San Jose type in
those days, but other pests were usual
" present, ami the scrapiros off the
old bark took with it many eggs OF in
sects, many of which were belonging
to insects OF no benefit to the trees,
but many OF them OF an injurious ma
ture. The l'me applied in the white
wash DESTROYED tunguous germs as
well as eggs OF insects, adding to the
usefulness Oh the application. To say
nothing OF the benefits arising from
the treatment OF trees in this way there
was the clean, pleasing look an Or
chard SO treated presented, the trees
pruned, scraped and whitewashed, the
fence and CutbuillIngs usually white
washed too, the whole presenting a
pleasing picture to those passing along
highway where such scenes met the
sight. San Jose scale has wiped out a
great many OF the old orchards. no
doubt good riddaucc in some IN
stances, where the trees we're from
age or neglect past beng worth living
but where there are orchards young
or old it will help the trees to have a
coat OF whtewash between this and
spring. 1t was not always the custom
OF the old-tmc farmers to add sulphur
to their mixture, but handful or two
in bucketful OF lime will add to the
benefit the application will be. There
will, o. course, be sprayings where
scale, fungi and insects are feared,
which will be attended to before spring
opens.-Jos, Meehan, in Practical Far

in order to get the right ones, | make
it rule to mark my hens. mark the
chickens when l IL or pounds i'll
weight, by putting a pig ring mot a
hog ring) on the left leg, not too tight.
The year following put one on the
other leg. In this way know the age
Of my hens up to three or ,our years
old, after which two-thirds of them
ought to be sold, as an old hen is not
often profitable one. By marking
thus | do not sell any but the older
hens, avoiding the hit-and-miss method
of selling, as often during the melting
time it is difficult to distinguish be-
tween the young and the old. The
rings do not hurt or inconvenience
them in the least, and aus 100 rings cost
but 8 cents it is cheap method of
marking. In the spring, midsummer
and fall | give the coops thorough
cleansing. using boiling soapsuds and
saturating all parts. after which coat
of whitewash is applied, followed by a
spray Of Kerosene or crude oil in every
conceivable lice harbor, literally soak

Our Urgent Need

The proposed legislation providing
College facilities for the girls OF this
State should become a law. Such
school facilities are afforded for the
white boys o. this State, at Delaware
College. and for the negro boys and
girls at the State College for such
students at Dover, and yet i. a white
girl wants a college education she is
compelled to go outside the State. Mel
Their is there any school in the State
where our girls can secure Normal
School Education to prepare them for
teaching. Our schools in this State
today are suffering for want OF better
qualified teachers. and a school that
would afford a Normal course and a
College course for our white girls
should be provided for by this Legisla-
ture. 1t is reflection on our State
that no such facilities are afforded, and
as long as We are without such school
facilities for our white girls our Legs
lature should be very slow in appro-
