half of the second inning when,
with two men on bases, Murphy
succeeded in knocking out three
bagger bringing in the two men.
He later scored, Culbertson got
two runs in the first half of the
third but the Williston boys came
right back with three more runs
to their credit. Williston scored
one run more in the fifth and two
on the sixth. Culbertson succeeded
in getting another one in the eighth
making the score nine to three.
Smith pitched the first few in
nings for the visitors but Murphy's
three bagger got his goat and when
he came up to bat again he walked
out of the box and Ike Slette was
called in from center. After his
first inning Slette settled down
and pitched his usual excellent
game.
Harvey for the locals pitched an
excellent game.

JOHN P. D. JOHN
IN WlLLETON
NOTED SCHOLAR AND LECTURER AT
ME-. CHURCH NEXT FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY Two LECTURES

DR.. John P. D. John of Green
castle, Ind, a lecturer of interna-
tional fame, and perhaps without
peer on the platform today, will
deliver two lectures in Williston
this week, Friday and Saturday
nights, at the M. E. church.
The subject for Friday night
will be ''The Three LIS of the New
Era, or the Hope of the Under
Man" In this subject the Doctor
does not agree with some of the
theorists and SO called teachers on
existing conditions. He presents
the hope of the under man in the
purest language, backed by master
full logic, and DR.. Johns definitions
of law, liberty and love show that
he meets the questions of the day
with the keenest perception, and
clears away much of the gathering
mists. The seeker after truth
should avail himself of the oppor-
tunity to hear Greencastle's dis
tinguished citizen upon this subject
On Saturday night the Doctor
will deliver his famous lecture
THE Worth of a Man." of which
the Lansing, (Mich.,) State Re-
publican says: 81
''The richest feast of eloquence,
illustration and philosophy that
has been spread before a Lansing
audience in many a day was DR..
John p. D. Johns lecture on The
Worth of q Man, last evening.
One might as we'll attempt to re-
cord by the slow process of pencil
or pen the thrills of electricity as
to report such I lecture. The
audience room was packed, even
to chairs in the aisles, but the
audience listened breathlessly for
an hour and half, and we're then
sorry he was through
No citizen of Williston ought to
be urged to hear DR.. John, the
mental eiaEt, scholar and philos-
opher. 1t is an opportunity to be
coveted at any time and any place.
After the reserved seats are all
occupied the plice will be within
the reach of all.

UNITED PICNIC
GREAT SUCCESS
OVER FOUR HUNDRED PEOPLE ATTEND
UNITED PICNIC HELD SUNDAY At
The II. Y. SMITH FARM

The United Sunday school picnic
held at the H. V. Smith farm ten
miles north of the city last Sunday
was great success in every way.
It is reported that the actual count
gave the number present as 465
which was q great turnout con-
sidering the very hot weather.
The Sunday schools represented
were Wild Rose, Pleasant View,
Palmer, Garden Valley and Spring
Coulee. Each school had male
and a mixed quartette and the pro-
gram lasted from 2 o'clock until
7 in the evening. Each number
on the program was we'll rendered
proving tnat considerable time
and attention had been given to
it's preparation. Rev. Hollett of
this city oficiated as chairman and
gave very interesting address.
In addition to the shade furnish
ed by the fine trees, shade was
furnished by large canvass engine
covers stretched over a framework
put up for the occasion and thus
everyone present was protected
from the sun during the entire
day. People were present from
miles around and they all pro-
nounced the day one of the most
pleasant of their lives.

FLAX SEED FROM
FOREIGN LANDS
FLAX AND OTHER SEEDS IMPORTED m
FISCAL YEAR 1911 REACH HIGH
REWARD MARK

A high record importation Of.
20 million dollars worth of flaxseed
in the fiscal year 1911 is indicated
by the records of the Bureau of
Statistics, Department of Com
merce and Labor, now completed
for the 10 months ending with
April, 1911. During that period
the imports of flaxseed or linseed,
aggregated st million bushels,
compared with a little over 3 mil
lion bushels last year and $4,000
bushels in the corresponding period
of 1909. The growth in value is
even greater. the 10 months figures
of the current fiscal year being
16a million dollars, against 5 mil
lion in 1910 and but $73,625 in
1909. The estimated importation
of 20 million dollars worth of flax
seed in the fiscal year which ends
with the present month exceeds by
more than 10 million dollars the
value imported in 1909, is nearly
18 million dollars above the record
of 1901, and is by far larger than
that of any other year. During
the ten years, 1901 to 1910, in
elusive, a total of 13 million dol
lars, or an average annual impor-
tation of 81, 100000 is shown, as
against 500, 100000 for the single
year 1911 now drawing to close.
Flax seed furnishes the bulk of
the % million dollars worth of
seeds of various kinds imported
during the year. The other lead
ing classes include sugar beet,
clover and castor beans. OF these
the imports Of clover seed during
the year will be about million
dollars, and those of sugar beet
and castor seed, each about $780,
600:
Argentina is the chief source Of
the flax seed imported into the
United States, about 60 per cent
of the imports during 1910 hav-
ing been from that country, COM
pared with about 25 per cent from
Canada and about 4 per cent each
from the British East Indies and
Belgium. Nearly all the sugar
beet seed is from Germany, while
clover seed is imported chiefly
from Germany, Canada and France
The very large increase in i'm
portations of flax seed during 1911
is due to the partial failure of the
crop last year. The flax seed crop
of the United States is, according
to figures of the Bureau of Statis-
tics of the Department of Agri-
culture, chiefly produced in Min
nesota and North and South Da-
kota. The crop in these states
last year was to q large extent q
failure, reducing the domestic pro-
duction by nearly one-half, and
the amount available for market
purposes, aside from seed, fully
one. half, hence the large importa-
tions in the current year from
| foreign countries.
