That's what North Dakota made in 1911, the
poorest crop year she has ever known.
As regularly as the seasons return North Dakota
can b. depended upon to contribute her share,

Right now there is being harvested in North
Dakota a wheat crop that is estimated at us

FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

The young people are not forgotten
at Celina Chautauqua. A splendid
baseball diamond and grand stand for
the boys, and a standard tennis court
for the young ladies and young men
fill out with the bathing and boating
and fishing, a round of enjoyment for
the young people. The tennis matches
are provided for in a new court just
east of the hotel, and the court is one
of the finest in the state. No charge
is made for the use of the court.

North Dakota'S Standing in Crop Production
Established by Report Of u S. Govt Agricultural Dept

Do you remember the startling
reports circulated during the long drouth of last
summer to the effect that the Northwest was
burned up''-that few farms would pay their
taxes-that their owners had given up hope and
would sell out for whatever they could getI
Such reports, coming mostly from dealers who
had land in other parts of the country to SELL were
given wide publicity; and so dctermnedly were
they brought out and followed up that the country
in general accepted them as true and wasted its
sympathy on the supposedly stricken district, in
which North Dakota was said to be the chief
sufferer.

Col. Watterson on the
Wilson Acceptance

Commenting on Governor Wilson's
acceptance speech, Col. Henry Wat
terson says
1T is not exaggeration TO say that
Governor Wilson's address In accept
ance OF the nomination Of the Balti-
more convention was exceptionally
impressive and inspiring That 1t
would be scholarly, thoughtful and
we'll expressed, was expected as
matter OF course. That 1t would be
marked by the ability OF the man OF
intellect, the student both OF books
and affairs, was equally anticipated.
But with all this its real force was
the force of the intelligence, the
acuteness, the clarity with which the
student has analysed conditions and
the courage. the sincerity and sanity
with which he approaches the respon-
sibility Of their rectifcation.
with a thorough appreciation OF
the fact that there has been great
awakening of the people and that the
country is at the beginning OF a new
epoch, he defines his conception OF

cardinal OF literary virtues-we have
not his superior in this country to-

one 10 rival him. To find men with

public men OF England. and when
that is done, Lord Morley and Wis

Undoubtedly we have many men In

A Speech That Will Live

Woodrow Wilson's speech OF ac-

est statement Of high public purpose
this country has known in a genera
tion.
Without passion, without invective.
without abuse, without partisan bit
ternees, without denunciation, with
out egotism. without demagogy, he
has driven straight to the heart OF
the supreme issue Of American iasti-
tutions-the partnership between gov

Federalism was destroyed under the
leadership OF Jefferson because fed

tween the government and a small
class Of property owners.
The Democratic party swept into
power under Jackson because the
government had entered into partner
