OF the looters. Energetic measures
prevented any serious outbreak
Following the debarkation of Simon,
late yesterday, there was an, attempt
to pillage the business house of Max
hlouff & Copamy, the proprietors of
which are Syrians. The attempt was
tut down by force under the di-
rection Of a committee OF public safe

These institutions have been ap-
praised as real estate Improvements,

PREDICTS GREAT
FARMING CHANGE

jamestown. N. d., Aug. Sit is
hard for people to think kindly Of
anything that works against their inn
mediate interests. but ten years from
now he win look back upon this crop
and see the wonderful good it has done
for Stutsman county and the state"
said Pres. ]. J. Nierling of the Citizens
National bank, who recently aroused
a great deal Of discussion over his
remark that he hoped there would
never be another bumper wheat crop
in North Dakota"
LESS than full wheat crop is GO
ing to drive O great many of the farm
ers to diversity and 1 believe that
next year will sec at least so per
cent Of the resident and settled down
farmers in the county diversifying to
some extent" he continued. "This is
working toward the right end to put
North Dakota farms on a business
basis where no chances are taken and
the farmers are sure CT a good income
every and all the year instead OF TAX
ing chances and placing everything on
the success of the wheat crop. This
is something that vitality interests
every resident of the state because
everyone's business depends in a large
measure on the constant success Of
the farmer.
There is a small percentage Of land
owners in this state. and some In this
county, who must be classed as DO
nanza farmers There is little hope
that these will ever change their ways
of taking chances with an all wheat
crop. but If there is not a large crop
for the next few years these men win
be forced to sell or let the land to
others who will employ farming meth
DDS that will work for their own good
and that Of every business man in
the state"
When asked IL he thought 1t would
have been unfortunate for the state
to have had big wheat crop this
year he replied, 1T would only have
prolonged the disease and have effaced
some of the cure that has been forced
upon the wheat farmers by the short
age of the last few years. The corn
crop this year is good and many farm
ers have told me that next year they
are going to raise more and keep live
stock to eat 1t, too. 1 tell those men
they are on the right course and moth
ing can prevent their success although,
perhaps. in some single year the wheat
farmers may get bigger returns.
More and more Of our farmers are
planning to keep cows and chickens
for steady income the year around.
Those who started this plan last year
or earlier tell me that they are sorry
they did not get good returns from
what wheat they planted this year, but
that it is not going to interfere with
their mode Of living for the next year
as they are sure of money coming In
all the time. Those are the farmers
who build up q community and make
It a, good place to live in both for
themselves and others"

TOPPING TALKS
BEFORE PROBERS

New York. Aug. S.-John A. Topping.
former chairman OF the board Of d.
rectors of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Co, told the Stanley steel trust COM
rnittee or inquiry today that he was not
in favor OF the plan Of Grant B. Schley
to sell the Tennessee company to the
United States steel corporation in 1907.
my mind was rather passive on the
question, said Topping. Il saw no
reason from my viewpoint to sell the
property. From the Schley viewpoint
q could see no reasons why he should
want to sell and I aided him, at his
request, to the extent OF explaining to
Lewis Cass Ledyard the advantage Of
property.
an these negotiations / did not re-
present myself nor the Tennessee ayn-
dictate. I merely was explaining the
property as a favor to Schley.
Were you member of the second
Tennessee syndicate described by Sch
ley yesterday asked Chairman STAN
ley.
X never heard Of 1t until Schley de-
scribed that second syndicate yester-
day
