All Cribs Full.

Almost any old farmer could
make more cotton than he could
gather this year, but very few have
more corn than they know what to
do with. Our young friend Alex
Watson has filled all of his cribs
and is not yet through gathering.
His total yield of corn will be in
the peigborhood of 500 bushels.
Should The Advertisers supply
run low we will know where to
send next summer. Speaking of max
ing corn, the writer is fattening
four hogs on old corn-odds and
ends of last years crop.

MIR. Roper's Plan Good.

Mr.. J. Fl. P. Roper told The Ad-
vertiser'g representative several days
ago that he is sowing several acres
of wheat in addition to his usual
acreage of oats, 80 as to be certain
TO make an abundance of feed for
his stock. Mr.. Roper's idea, which
is a good one, is that should the
oats be killed he can cut the wheat
for feed, and, on the other hand,
should the oats make 3 normal
yield, he will harvest the wheat for
-four. Other farmers could with
profit adopt the same plan.

Corn Contests Have Borne Fruit,

Several farmers have been kind
enough to say recently that but for
the line upon line concerning corn
growing that has appeared in The
Advertiser during the past two
years, they would not have made
corn enough to do them this year.
They were encouraged and stimu-
lated to give corn more attention by
our reminders from time to time to
grow more corn at home. Being as
sured that the contests of the past
three years have accomplished some
good, we will conduct another con-
test next year.

Kenmare, N. D.. Aug. s.-Informa-
ton received by local friends is to
the effect that Mrs. A. Stewart, who
was shot several times by her hus-
band in quarrel at their new home
In Swift Current, Sask.. and who for
merly lived here, is to the effect that
she is still living. Mrs. Stewart re-
ceived several wounds, one Of the
bullets striking her in the back, fol-
lowing a rib and lodging in her
breast. Another bullet is lodged
somewhere in the small of the back.
Just previous to the shooting in
which his wife was made the victim,

with his brother in which the broth
er knocked him down, searched him
and took away a revolver. Immedi-
ately thereafter Stewart is charged

The MARKETS
MARKET SHOWED
INSTABILITY
Stanley Investigating Commit
tee Had Effect on Prices
Of Steel Stocks

new YOrk, Aug. S-That the stock
market should have shown further
lack of stability today was hardly
surprising in the light of recent
events. Week end developments
while not altogether discouraging,
were hardly helpful to the construc-
tive side OF the situation, embracing,
as they did, number of adverse
crop reports, some more unfavorable
railroad earnings, the hardening of
discounts in London, and, finally, af-
fairs political and industrial at home.
The attitude of the Stanley inves-
tigating committee at last Saturdays
session in his city, was the Subject
OF discussion in financial districts
where the opinion seemed to prevail
that the United States Steel corpora
tion may have to divorce itself from
its transportation companies if 1t is
to keep within bounds of antitrust
laws. This feeling was partly borne
out in Washington dispatches.
Support accorded steel shares to-
day was less effective than that given
other stocks in the same classs. Steel
was again sold principally by a CO.
terie of brokers on the short side.
The bear account was quite impartion
however, its attack upon Union Pa
cific, Reading, Lehigh Valley and St,
Paul putting the bull faction on the
defensive. .,,,t
The strength Of the Hill stocks, the
coppers and some of the specialties
were noteworthy, but this may be ex-
planned on the ground that their
price levels before the recent decline
rendered them less vulnerable to bear
assaults.
Dullness following each rally sug-
gested the inability or lack of de-
sire of the bull account to press its
temporary advantage. Trading Ian
guished during the afternoon until
well toward the close, when buy
ing movement of some proportions
sent the list to it's top level. The re-
covery met with some resistance and
prices shaded from the best, but final
quotations resulted in many substan-
tial gains.
