Timely Tips.

The fad for the sailor collar and its
notifications has extended to the sum
mer suit of linen which shows broad col
lars and cuffs of pique. Sometimes coarse
mesh linen lace edges these tailored col
lars, but more often they are plain, their
plainness being the secret of their style.
AS they are very inexpensive, easily made
at home and dress up a last summer suit
into modish little present day garment,
they are certain to win a large number
of followers.
One of the new conceits in Irish crochet
is bottles for the baby. They come in
several sizes, with ribbon laces and tiny
Irish crochet buttons. A soft silk lining
keeps the lace from contact with the
tiny feet. Indulgent mothers are sure to
want a pair of these handsome bottles to
go with baby's handmade dresses.
The girl with an assortment Of jabots
and frills should study the cclOrs most
becoming to her. and fashion number
of odd tailor bows and knots of velvet
| and ribbon TO pin at her throat as a
| sort of fastening for the neckwear. She
| will be surprised at the smart effect
given by the touch of color. In this
way a really plain suit will take on an
individuality otherwise lacking. and the
problem of change which looms so large
on the dress horizon will be partially
solved.
For the travelling suit a light wool ma
terial is best, as it neither muses. nor
soils like linen or rajah There are a
number of these ia brics that do not hold
the heat and have no appreciate weight.
Polo and blanket coats are the smartest
of travelling wraps when lined with A
soft silk or satin, which permits of their
being slipped on and off easily.

To Broil Steak Properly.

Sirloin or porterhouse is the best Tor
hroiinc. Tougher steaks may be improV-
ed by allowing them to lie In olive Oh
and a bit of vinegar for half hour. the
cut should be at least two inches thick
and if broiled under a gas flame me
oven door should be left open so that the
air NAV circulate freely. A steak TWO
inches thick requires about nlteeh
minutes to cook, though the time de-
pends upon whether the meat Is prefer
red rare or well done. Place on platter
pour over the plain gravy. spread with
hutter if desired and cut In mario"
strips when serving Allow each per
son to season his own portion.

that McDavit through this same power

The Orange Judd Farmer, one of the
leading farm papers of the country
contains the following letters from two
well known Ramsey County farmers
Both are excellent treatises on the sub
,iect covered and should be read with
interest:
Cornstalks Protect Wheat.
C. II. Baker, Ramsey County, n. d.
Winter wheat has not received very
much attention as vet in North Dakota;
however. during the past three years
l have given it trial, and believe
that it will occupy prominent place
in grain growing in this section. The
general grain farmer finds number
of difficulties, and the more crop di-
versifcation he practices the larger
yield he may expect. To my mind
winter wheat offers solution for
many of these otherwise uncomfortable
factors.
The crop of the present year was
seeded partly in wheat stubble, and an
other field on corn ground. There is
considerable difference in these two
methods of seeding, both as to yield
and as to the extent of winter killing.
That seeded on the corn field was sown
August 2, broadcast, just before the
corn was given its last cultivation.
After the wheat was sown it was COW
cred by thoroughly stirring the sur
face. Later the corn was harvested
and as a protection to the wheat and
to catch the winter SHOWS every third
row of corn was left standing.

The marriage is a record breaker
for Ramsey county, although Judge

RAISING IN AN INTEREST.
ING MANNER-oRANGE JUDD FARMER, ONE LEADING
PAPERS, PUBLISHES THE EXCELLENT LETTERS.

The. stubble field was sown August
Is, with single disc drill, and the
field given no further cultivation. The
variety sown is called locally Mineso.
ia Reliable, and is represented to be a
progeny of Turkey Red. This strain
is said to have been grown in this
northern climate for upward of 25
years. Both of these tracts made a
splendid stand, none Of it having win
ter killed, and in my Judgment both
will make 25 to so bushels per acre.
My experience in sowing winter wheat
on stubble field has been success,
while on the other hand in every sec
ton of this state where it was sown in
the open it has been a failure on ac-
count of winter killing.
Last year my winter wheat yielded
Is bushels per acre, while spring var.
ieties produced half that much. The
difference in this particular instance
of eight bushels per acre is certainly
an inducemert to have it replace a
part of the spring wheat. AS yet 1
have not tried to place any Of it on the
open market. I believe there may be
difficulty in inducing the millers to ac-
cept it unless it is grown to a greater
extent. All of my crop, heretofore,
has been sold for seed, and expect
there will be great demand for it this
year, and believe I could place several
times the amount expect to have for
sale this year. On the general mar
ket this wheat sells for Z tt 8 cents

o. J. THOMAS, CASE COLLECTOR.
SAYS so, ON HIS RETURN
FROM WARWICK.

0. J. Thomas, the genial collector for
the J. I. Case company, who was in
Devils Lake, having just returned from
a drive to Warwick, has the following
to say:
''The wheat will average from fit.
teen to twenty-five bushels to the
acre and from this one can tell at a
glance that the state is in mighty
good shape.
~ want to say that the conditions
are away ahead Of last year. There is
an abundance of all kinds of feed and
flax is very much better than the aver
age, while there is plenty Of good look
ing, healthy corn growing ali over the
state. Conditions in the state are as
good as they have ever been, with the
exception of wheat which will be about
60 per cent of the average crop, but
to Offset this it might be mentioned
that the corn will show up exceedingly
well.
81 found the farmers over the state
in very much better humor than last
year and they have good reason to he,
for they are in very much better shape
in every way"
Mr.. Thomas story Of what lie saw
corresponds exactly with that of Mr..
Weiser Of Iowa, who recently made the
same trip and he was astouished at
the conditions as he found them, and
said they are fine.

best crops that we can grow, providing
we grow the best. They have paid mo

In the past my cattle have always

bought four one-year-old heifers. I
have grown 20 calves and now have

a great demand for bull calves at fair
prices, but I keep the heifers. The
foundation stock for my herd was OBJ.

cows are handled in the most practical
and feasible method that I find adapt

The first story which was published
III North Dakota relative to the sud
den disappearance of "Chica Coz.
my of Grand Forks and tho financial
muddle which was reported to result
from the disappearance, appeared ex-
clusively in The World over a week
ago, the Grand Forks Herald, in way,
denied the story at the time, but the
scoop which The World had on the
newspapers Of North Dakota is now ad-
mitted by the Grand Forks Herald,
the following story appearing in today g
issue Of that paper:
Nothing has been heard up to date
from Attorney J. P. "Chick" Conmy,
who disappeared from the city few
days ago under rather unusual circum-
stances. It now develops that Conmy
left behind him something Of fnan-
cial muddle that may result in criminal
action being instituted against him.
Shortly before leaving the city Conmy
cashed check purporting to be drawn
by his father, Judge Conmy, of Penn
bina, for 5000. It is understood from
the officials Of the First State Bank of
East Grand Forks, who handled the &C.
count Of the Picketts baseball club, Of
which Conmy was secretary ard treas
urer, that the check was returned pro-
tested. Judge Conmy has refused to
honor the check and claims that the
signature is not his.
Out Of the 5000 Conmy received 1925
cash and the rest, amounting to 1913
was transferred to the Pickett's fund.
Part of this money was used to pay a
note for 5000, another hundred went to
meet an overdraft and the remainder
was checked out. It is understood now
that the bank has notified the Picketts
that it intends to transfer back the &C.
count as result of Judge Conmy's re-
fusal to honor the check.
Conmy, as secretary and treasurer Of
the Picketts, was bonded with the
Northwestern trust company of this
city and in case action was started
the bonding company will undoubtedly
take the initial move. A, prominent
member of the Pickett's organization
stated last evening that under the Min.
nesota law he did not believe the bank
could transfer the account back. In
case the bank should be successful, the
Picketts would then have recourse
against the bonding company and it
would be up to the Northwestern Trust
company to take action against Con-
my. The whole situation is one Of par
ticular interest, owing to tho promi.
nence of the parties involved.
