candidate satisfactory to. the Wall

he prefaced practically every state.

Injury in Automobile Accident Neces.
states Operation.

Rome, Oct. 1S.-William Marconi's
right eye had to be removed by DR..
Bayardi, a noted Turin surgeon.
Mr.. Marconi was seriously injured
Sept. 25 in an automobile accident
near Borghetto. The noted inventor
was removed to the hospital of the
naval department at Spezia, where he
was treated for several days. The
severe contusions and swelling around
the injured eye prevented thorough
examination until recently, when it
was found that the optic nerve had
been affected.
The removal Of the right eye was
deemed necessary to preserve the
sight of the other. Since Oct. 10 Mr..
Marconi's condition had not been sat.

100 STORY BUILDING,
Cass Gilbert, Noted Architect, Says It
May Come.

London, Oct. %. = Cass Gilbert.
former president of the American
Institute of Architects and designer
of the Woolworth building, is in Lon.
don enroute to Munich, where he will
arrange for model of the tallest
building in the world to be placed in
the Deutsches museum there. Asked
whether he thought the Woolworth
building was the last word in sky
scraper building, Mr.. Gilbert replied
"There isn't any last word. The only
question is one of economical success.
Provided there is room for sufficient
base, there is no reason why a lO01
story building could not be erected as
far as safety is concerned, but the
question is whether it would be a
paying investment"

THRESHING NEARS END,
Work Around Grand Forks VIII Soor
Be Finished.

Grand Forks.-Only about l2
per cent of the grain raised in
Grand Forks county this year remains
in shock. according to o. ID. Center
farm expert for the county. 1t will
require but day or so to complete
practically all shock thrcshing, and
then there remains a short run OF
threshing from stacks.
In the southern part of the county
the tendeScy to stack grain has been
particularly noticeable. The farmers
there are far ahead of those in other
sections in the matter of fall plow,
ing. The stacked grain also is in fine
condition, the returns from several
farms where such grain has been
threshed showing 1t to be superior to
that threshed from the shocks.
Very little fax has been threshed
but that which has been pounded out
was in good shape. Flax properly
bound and shocked has not been in,
jured by the rainy weather, but tina,
in which other grains or wild oats
or weeds were mixed has suffered be,
cause the weeds have retained tho
moisture.
In the western part Of the state
threshing is not so well advanced as
in this region. In fact. there are from
two to three weeks threshing in al,
most the entire western section
The delay caused by rain has no;
