A bold attempt t. hold up Geo. w.

ed bandit. ~
Mr.. Pogue, who resides at 500 Fourth
street north, today related the thrill
ing adventure he was forced to go
through, when at 1925 last night he
left his home and started for the
Great Northern depot to mail a letter
on a train. When he neared the COR

on the corner who looked him over
carefully and passed along.

Mr.. Pogue says, Il was coming along
towards my residence at a fast walk

"At this stage of the game the al

in the direction of the Great Northern

boarded the train and left the city. DR..
Pattison notified the police at once and
the officers made a hurry up call to
the scene, but no discoveries were
made at that time"
Whatever object the 'stickup'' art

had no weapon that was seen. He

~BroomhaIl's Report.

& Liverpool, Jan. 5.-The wheat mar
ket opened with offers light n shorts
nervous and prices Il to q higher.
Buying was induced by the strength
in America yesterday and the strong
situation in Argentine with light plate
c.fers and both the United Kingdom
and continent bidding freely for plate
and Australian offers. Spot markets
are liz higher with a cool demand.
Following the opening there was profit
taking by large longs and prices de-
cIined / to IA with the undertone
weak. There is no special reason
given for this selling except that it
is feared that the market is over
bought and some reports here that
the damage in Argentine is exaggerat-
ed. At 1870 p. m. the market was
weak from the high of the morning
and a to II lower than yesterday.
Corn opened unchanged and later de-
clined a in sympathy with wheat.
Spot markets are firm and y higher.

TALKED
ON SEED SELECTION
TO FARMERS AT cRooKsToN
SCHOOL or AGRICULTURE
COMMENTED UPON AS THE
BEST EVER DELIVERED THERE
FOR PRACTICAL BENEFIT.

According to the local papers the
attendance and interest In the farm
ers' short course now In progress at
the school of agriculture at Crooks
ton is very gratifying to the school
managers and the experts along Diff
ferent lines who are contributing to
the well arranged course which has
been prepared for the benefit Of the
farmers OF POLY county and others
tributary to the school.
The programme for yesterday is
referred to as a particularly strong
one and included q talk and discus
sion, by Professor BolIey of the North
Dakota Agricultural college at Fargo
on the subject OF seed selection n
treatment. and soil diseases. OF the
address The .Crookston Times says:
Professor Bolley, gave his hearers a
line If talk that aroused the most
intense interest and it was n OF
the best ever heard in this section of
the county. He dealt in a practical
manner with plant diseases, selection
and treatment Of seed, wheat sick
soil and crop rotation to kill disease
germs in soil. In connection with the
latter he showed how certain germs
could propagate on the roots OF but a
certain grain, and if the crop rotation
was right the particular root food
necessary could be denied that spe-
cial germ by planting over crops p
on which it could not thrive and the
disease germs would be starved out.
His talk was so plain and SO clear
OF beclouding technical terms that 1T
was Of immense practical value,
and all, or the essential portions OF
IL, will be ecure for publication in
The Times within a few days for the
benefit of farmers who were not pres
ent."

THE MODERN NAVAL MAN.
-Is Is of a Different Type From old
Jack Tar Of Other Days.

Eis Is of a Different Type From Old
Jack Tar Of Other Days.
Cleveland Leader: The idea that
the United States navy can be used as
q reformative institution still prevails
in some quarters where more accurate
information on the subject might be
supposed I exist. A few months ago
a young man was given the option by
a Chicago judge Of either going to
prison or enlisting in the navy. Dur
ing the present week a magistrate in
western Pennsylvania offered the same
alternative of three vicious sons of
families. In both the young men
eagerly accepted the navy proposition
only to find that the navy would cot
accept them.
In the old days. when practically all
warships were sailing vessels, the navy
was not so particular. about the char
acter of the men it enlisted. If they
were physically strong Inc hardy they
were soon licked into shape as sailors
and fighters under the stern. rough
discipline OF the rope's-end and the
cat-o' ~nine-tails. Pluck and ability to
perform hard manual labor were all
the qualifications needed then for
service before the mast.
But the men who operate the COM
plicated and costly machinery of the
modern warship must be Of a different
stamp. The bulk OF the enlisted men
in the navy today are skilled mechan-
les and electricians. The moral tone
existing among them is probably as
high as obtains in n single Industrial
establishment in the country. They are.
well paid, well fed and well taught.
The average jack tar of the old times
waE d hard drinker, q hard fighter and
d hard Ewearer. When he came back
from shore leave intoxicated little was
thought OF ii, for the nsaster-at-arm
could soon bring him to the point
where he waa capable of hauling on q
rope by 4 liberal use of Ssa water and
shoe leather. There was little about b
sailing ship he could harm. But a stu-
bid or befuddied ~biuejacket OF today.
by h false move Of his hand. co,iId
cause damage amounting TO thousands
Of dollars and perhaps put lives In
danger.
The enlisted men OF the United
states navy are clean, selg-respecting
and intelligent. None others are ac-
cepted. And what Is better, nearly ali
Of them are American citizens. II
seems to be taking a good many other
wise intelligent Americans d long time
To discover this.
