MAY BRING CATTLE
into N. DAKOTA
PLAN OF E. J. WEisER TO BRING
DAIRY CATTLE INTO STATE
AND DISTRIBUTE THEM AMONG
FARMERs-PLENTY or FEED
FROM CORN RAISED HERE.

Although only in it's embryo state
2. ]. Weiser, the first vice president
q the First National bank OF Fargo,
mas plan TO bring cattle into North
DaKofa which, IL carried out viii place
the aickertaiI state to the front an q
cattle raising state.
During the last summer there has
neen 8 great deal OF corn raised m
THIS state and the success Of the corn
crop mas been so marked that there
mas been raised a question regarding
the disposition OF the same. THE
farmers Of North Dakota realize now
the great possibilities OF the crop IA
this state, but In raising the Indian
maize, they must dispose of It ana
tney 90 not intend to burn the corn
TOT ruel as Is sometimes done In Kan
sas.
Mr.. Weiser's plan is to ship into
the state large number OF dairy
cows and young stock. These would
pc distributed among the farmers Of
the state, and especially Cass county
ana they would be given an opportun-
here. '@SS
The originator OF the plan suggests
that about 100000 be invested IN the
cattle, and the breed most adaptable
10 this country be imported for the
use or the farmers. In the distribu-
ton OF the cattle Mr.. Weiser IL CON
WINGED that 1t should be made care
Iuliy and In such a manner that the
farmers OF Cass county and the state
would receive the greatest benefit.
Although the farmers could not be
called upon to make the original out
lay Tor the stock, yet they would be
given very easy terms on which to
pay Tor them. In this manner every
farmer who is really in earnest and
desires to follow the line of progress
sion, could cooperate and secure some
OF the, dairy cattle and young steers
tnat would be imported.
The state is at this time short Of
cattle and dairy cows. over a wear
ago when 1t was discovered that the
crop In the state would be short the
farmers disposed Of their stock. not
desiring to feed them through the
winter.
Mr. Weiser hopes to work out his
plan more fully and believes that ulti
mately It will become reality and
me cattle will be imported and dis
tributed among the North Dakota
farmers.

THE WHITE SISTER
Popular Show to be in Fargo satur.
day Night Has Scored Big
Elsewhere.

In it's write-up Of The White Sister
to be presented at the Fargo opera
house Saturday night, The Gazette
published at Kalamazoo, Mich, says:
Miss Jeanne fowler, billed as
Americas greatest emotional &C
tress," appeared at the Academy last
night in the leading role OF The
White Sister, the play In which Viola
Allen achieved such splendid success
and in which she was seen here last
season to the delight Of local theatre
goers. 1t was the opening NJ the
Academy season and a crowd OF fair
proportions graced the occasion and
expressed their approval Of both play
and star.
While the drama Is not essentially
a religious one 1t is one in which the
spirit Of love and self sacrifice and
true christianity are predominant and
the lesson taught Is a beautiful one.
The play is a draInatization OF #.
Marion Crawford's novel of the same
name and eminent Catholics the
country over have declared that the
character Of the nun in it is true to
life In every particular and that the
whole story is based upon fact
Miss fowler in the role of the nun
the white ster."-invested the
character with beauty, tenderness and
intensity of feeling that deeply stirred
the audience. She exhibited rare
dramatic ability at all times and was
extremely effective In the emotional
scenes. She lis an actress Of refine
ment, potentiality and genuine worth.
She was given excellent support.
The piece is staged in bef1tting
manner, while the scenery is appro-
pirate and the costumes in entire ac-
cordance with the requirements OF the
play.
Altogether The White Sister, as
presented by Miss fowler and her
confreres is an offering In every way
worth while and as presented at the
Academy last night proved most ac-
ceptable to the audience that wit
messed 1t and placed their stamp Of
approval on Miss TOWERS acting.

expert and institute lecturer. who lee

EFFORT put forth by residents OF the

ditions to gather such products and
SO tastefully arrange them in the diff

IS next to marvellous. l speak not only
from the quality but the quantity as
well do not hesitate to say that
many Of the exhibits excel those of
the Minnesota fair and they speak
we'll for North Dakota.
Another feature which struck me
as next to marvellous, and IL will i'm
press anyone familiar with conditions
the same way, is the fine display of
corn. The exhibits will convince any
beholder that North Dakota is a corn
state. The magnificent display OF
wheat might have been expected. but
not the variety OF winter wheat
shown. And in roots and grasses the
display is truly amazing. In every
booth samples OF corn are shown as
well as such soil regtorers as alfal-
ia and Canadian fieldpeas. These
crops are the saving ones for the
country, for they not only yield rich
returns but they build UP and restore
the ground The whole exposition is
truly a revelation and increases my
faith In North Dakota as q winter
wheat state. In every booth will be
found samples Of winter wheat and
Of such. quality as to convince the
most skeptical that this crop NAV be
successfully and prontably grown
here. I cannot dwell too long on the
subject of corn cultivation. In fact
my establishment at what is shown

for analysis. I am going to visit each
booth again during my stay here and

to learn how the great work has been
accomplished. thought I knew North
Dakota pretty well and was familiar
