NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
FARMERS PICNIC
AT DICKINSON
EXPERIMENT STATIONS ANNUAL
SUMMER FUNCTION
ARRANGED.

Dickinson, N. D., July 12.-Arrange-
ments are being completed for the
second annual farmers picnic to be
held at the Dickinson experiment sta
ton Saturday, July 81. In 1911 the
picnic was held July 20 and was the
first of its kind. The success of this
first pi il was so marked that there
have b 4 many requests to nave it
an annua event. IL success was pos
sible under the poor conditions of 1911
then it ought to be much better dur
ing the season of 1912.
While there nay o be more les
sons to learn from the station this
year than last, visitors tell us that the
station presents a very beautiful APP
p~earance. The trees are much larger
than ever before ard cast a denser and
more refreshing shade. Beside what
little may be learned from the sta
ton the social features OF the picnic
will be of great value.
Promises have been made by Pro-
lessor Shaw and Prof. w. c. Palmer
to attend this picnic and deliver some
practical talks in the afternoon.
AS in 1911, a light lun III consisting
of coffee and crackers will be served
at noon; this will be in addition to
the basket lunch with which the visit
ors will provide themselves. Every
is sincerely invited to attend this
picnic AS far as possible, guides
will be furnished to point out the in
~terestfng features of the station.

GIBBONS HAS
SET aim HIGH
SAYS HE HAS FIXED HIS DESIRE
FOR 100000 IN THE BOXING
GAME. AND WILL NOT HANG TO
BOXING GAME UNTIL HE is
LICKED.

St. Paul Dispatch: One year e
Mike Gibbons was working for s2.5O
a day In the Great Northern shops and
was absolutely pennlless, so TO speak.
He had been working for four years at
the tinsmiths' trade and in his own
little way was making a success-that
Is, a living for himself, wife and baby.
Today the same Mike Gibbons is the
undisputed welterweight boxing cham
pion of the world, and besides holding
that coveted title, has $4,000 to show
for nine months work in the ring.
Last October in company with his
manager, Eddie Reddy, Gibbons left
for New York to attempt to force an
entrance into the eastern tight game.
Before leaving st. Paul the Gibbons
Reddy company look a careful in
ventory of their worldly goods and
found that by living moderately they
could break into the Gotham town,
take a chance at the ring gam in the
big city, and IL the worst came to the
worst, have enough of the filthy lucre
to pay their fares back to st. Paul.
II really enjoy the boxing game"
said Gibbons, but / do not intend to
keep UP the work until beaten. / hope
to accumulate about 100000 and then
| will retire. II possible, ] will quit a
champion, but, If beaten In the near
future, / will not give UP the anne,
for / a set my mark at 100000,
and If possible, I will set aside that
amount before retiring from the ring
for all time"

Unable to reach the record. Wright

and will each receive a silver medal.
In the shot putting contest with
right and left hand, Ralph Rose,
Olympic A. c., and Patrick J.. McDon-
aid, Irish-American A. c., won first
and second respectively.
Although the hopes of a new record
of the 200 meter dash was the most
exciting performance of the day.
Ralph G. Craig of the Detroit Y. M. G.
A, and Donald r. Lippincott, Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania took the honors,
with the Briton, w. R. Applegarth,
pushing them hard. The German, Rau,
who runs all distances, was fourth.
The Americans had counted on these
points, but they had expected to lose
the 10000 meter walk, which they did
to George Goulding of Canada. Could

The only American in the ina of this

Is INCREASING
ITS OUTPUT
CREAMERY AT ASHLEY is DOING
Al GUSHING BUSINESS IN
ITS LINE.

Ashley, N. D., July 1.-THE Ashley
Creamery Co. is operated in building
owned by the milling company and is
supplied with power, ETC., from the
same machinery that runs the mill,
but is now under a totally diff
ferent management. Messrs. Hol-
comb, Schmidt and SiIbar, all former
employees of Cobb, in st. Paul, Mimi,
decided upon Ashley as a promising
field for engaging in business for
themselves, leased the Ashley Mil
ling Co.'S creamery plant, made a few
additions to the equipment, formed the
Ashley Creamery CO., and are now
doing a rushing business in their line.
In spite of the fact that the churn
now in use is of about double the
capacity of the one formerly used
here, the present managers often find
1t necessary to run until midnight In
order to churn all the cream that is
brought to the creamery, and pur-
chased by it's buyers. Several car
loads OF butter have already been
shipped. A few days ago, one carload,
worth about $4,000 and representing
the churning done in just one week,
was sent out. In addition to the but
ter business this establishment manu-
facturers a great quantity of ice cream
and supplies the dealers in many of
h neighboring towns. The members
OF h company are highly pleased
with the treatment accorded them
since starting In business here and
are to be congratulated upon the sue
cess they have SO soon attained.

NORMAN AMERICAN
CONVENTION

too small to have held all who desired
to hear him relate, step by step, The
ment to professor used several quo
Opening his remarks the professor
said he wanted personally to compli-
ment DR.. FJelde, who he said was a
mar OF inexhaustible enthusiasm and
he quoted IN old German saying,
which interpreted, means, "all begin
nings are hard" and he believed it
applied to the things so enthusiast
cally undertaken by the celebrated
doctor from Abercrombie."
The professor, who is a delightful
platform speaker, possesses the happy
knack of winning his audience from
the start-the first words spoken es-
8tablished close attention. He referred
to the question Of the Vinland Saga
being revived. The stories were writ
ten in Iceland and some are more his
torical than others. They were stories
SO well written, and before the year
1000. that they have attracted the
attention OF literary authorities all
over the world, especially those of
Germany n England, and some of
them are now living and far advanced
in year are still at work. All of the
stories contain elements Of the finest
Of story telling. TO clinch his argu-
explorer, doubts the veracity of the
NCt SAOAAS ~ 1870 81 NNAASA ANAO6
and in instances he gave interpreta-
tions from original statements writ
ten in Latin.
The speaker, in a conversational sort
of a way told of the old Morse tales of
the journeys of the Norsemen to
America which they called Vinland.
He described the relics which still exist
In the east and which are commonly
supposed to be proof that the Morse
men visited America long before the
time of Columbus. Professor Olson
stated that of the present-day author
tiles none but Captain Nansen, The
explorer, doubts the veracity Of the
Vinland Saga and the fact that the
Norsemen actually did visit America
before Columbus time.
The last speaker was Frank O.
Hellstrom, warden of the penitentiary
al Bismarck, N. d. His subject was
Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden
who successfully terminated the thirty
years war between the Lutherans and
the Catholics IN southern Europe. Mr..
Hellstrom made his paper exceedingly
interesting and besides was very in
structive. At the close OF Professor
Olson's address Miss Tonning sang a
Norwegian song very pleasingly.
