WEAR CAP and GOWN
Snior Glass of Fargo College Surprised
the School by Appearing in
Regalia.

The students at Fargo College were
both surprised and pleased yesterday,
when the entire senior class marched
into chapel arTayed In cap and gown.
This is the first appearance of the
seniors in their robes of state, and it
produced quite an effect upon the
students who arose and greeted them
with loud applause.
President Creegan then made short
address to the class, warning them that
commencement had not yet arrived
and that several grades must yet be
completed before that event. He con-
graduated them on arriving thus far
in their college work which, he said,
was a. result Of long struggle and con-
cientious study. He then traced the
origin of the cap and gown back to the
middle ages and spoke of the import :
ance connected with wearing it.
The class of 1911 is composed of the
following eleven members: Misses
Crandal, Powell, Margaret ana Genette
Sandy, Blanchard, Beckman, Torson

BOLLEY EXPECTS
GREAT BENEFITS
GOOD SEED DINNER IN MINNIE
APoLIs WHICH WAS ADDRESS
ED BY NORTH DAKOTA SEED
EXPERT, WILL RESULT IN
GREAT GOOD HE BELIEVES.

The Minneapolis Journal has the fol-
lowing resume of an address made by
Prof. H. L. Bolley of the North Da-
kota A. c. at good dinner held i'm
Minneapolis Thursday evening in con-
nection with the Minnesota Fedora
ton of Commercial clubs:
Professor Bolley said that the rela-
tionship between the miller and grain
man and the farmer is not intimate
enough. The early tone of his talk was
in way pessimistic. He said the city
travelling man speaks slightingly of the
farmer in the conversation in the
smoking cars and that the attitude of
looking upon the farmer as a dub"
has got to be changed before the city
man can expect the farmer to take
much stock in his pleas for co-opera-
ton. Professor Bolley then changed
the tenor of his remarks, and in a few
short sentences showed clearly what
Minneapolis and the Minneapolis men
interested in good seed might do to
bring about Improvement in conditions
One Of the greatest means, he said, is
publicity. The propaganda, he said,
must be carried to the farmer, and put
before him in such form that he will
readily grasp and act upon it, and this
he will do in such form that he will
readily grasp and act upon it, and this
he will do in proportion as 1t can be
shown to him to be practical adj
vantage.
| Professor Bolley told much of the
work of crop experimentation and out
lined the general attitude of the farm
er toward the city man as he has found
it in his own observation. He argued
again in closing, that one of the most
4 essential things is the recognition of
the true position Of the farmer by the
4 man in the city.
/ After the dinner Professor Bolley
was interviewed by a Journal man as
follows;
II consider that the results of such
meetings as that held last evening by
the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce are very valuable and the large
attendance and the speeches indicate
that this new line of effort which the
| Chamber of Commerce intends to ini-
tiate will tend to educate others, as
we'll as the farmers" Professor Bolley
said. THE speakers especially indi-
Gated that they recognize the fact that
not oil VI the DidulG LOT the ReneTal
quality of the grain which reaches the
hopper OF the miller and the hold of the
export ship is due to the carelessness
of the farmer, and that steps will be
taken by the chamber looking toward a
better general system of handling the
various grades of grain, as to quality,
as they come from the farms. 1t
seemed to be the opinion of all that
the various grades should be SO ham
died from the time each leaves the
land that the individual farmer may
be paid for his grain. according to the
quality which he produces, and that
the miller may be allowed to do his
own blending of kinds and qualities.
IF this can be accomplished, the
farmer who raised superior type of
clean high quality wheat will get the
| legitimate premium for his work and
good fortune, and the careless ones will
tend to improve"

lively for the plaintiff and defendant.

amount of 500. The plaintiff asked
that he be given this money for serv-
Ices performed by him in drawing plans
and doing survey work, which the
township had done about four years
ago. Barnett Il Richardson represent
ed the plaintiff and Stambaugh & Fow
Ter were the attorneys for the defend
ant. Judge Pollock did not decide the
case, but took 1t under advisement.
Judge Pollock also heard the case of
Maryland VS.. Hoffman today. Upon the
stipulation of the counsels, the order
for the dismissal Of the case was given.
