1.-THE MAN WHO STOOD STILL"
Truth is stranger than fiction, and
the everyday events Of life chronicled
in the daily prints sometimes verify
truths as old as the human race. A
man died recently vino had been in
business in Aurora, H. since before
the Civil War BY some strange
twist of the brain he conceived the
idea of sticking to the methods Of
business that brought him prosperity
during and Immediately after the
war. He never advertised; he never
changed the styles OF his merchan-
disc IT is declared that for five years
after the war he still prGspercd mod
erately. In the following 10 years his
store became a curiosity To visitors.
Bayers seldom went into g. The fash.
ions that prevailed in womens and
mems wear during the war and the
display of old style jet jewelry still
adorned his show windows. In later
years he was the only person who
ever entered his store but he stuck
to il going down each morning at 2
O'Clock and remaining Until @ in the
evening waiting for he customers
who never came Age found The old
mans fortune gone. His store. long
regarded only as a freak exhibit. was
closed up and he died olon. I'm Cana
da the other day, aged r. years.
Talk about your steam roller, There
is no more relentless iugsemaat than

SUNSHINE WILL
SAVE THE CROPS
North Dakota Must Have
Good Weather, and Right
Away, Too

With the exception Of Sunday. it has
rained almost continuously in this Sec
ton Of the state since Thursday night,
and the roads have been practically
made impossible. All farm work ia at
a standstill. Even though the rain does
stop. 1t will take a week a clear wealth
er 1t is said. to make it possible to do
any threshing.
The wet weather has given a large
number of the laborers an opportunity
to leave the state. and. as a result, the
farmers are going to be short of help
to complete the work. This will re-
suit In a considerable amount of the
grain being left unthreshed. There
have not been enough men in the state
to run all the %threshing machines all
season, and, with more Of them leav-
ing. other machines will be forced into
idleness.
Grain shipments will likely be six
weeks later than last year and later
than any fall in the history of he
state. Desperate attempts are being
made by many farmers to save their
crops. but with water standing in the
fields 1t Is impossible to operate farm
machinery.
Optimistic reports are given out by
the Better Farming association, how

turned yesterday from a trip through

save practically the entire crop in that

about two-thirds of the crop vet to be

FIRST DAY Of
AUTUMN HERE
Fall Officially Ushered in
With Forecast for Snow
or Rain Tonight.

Accompanied by the forecast for
rain or snow tonight, the first day of
autumn has been officially declared on
the Job. Today. according to the al
manacs and calendars-and we dis
like very much to call them liars
is the beginning Of the fall season.
There Is no question in the minds
of Grand Forkers that this is autumn
because they have had two or three
chances. to get acquainted with the
fall variety in the past few weeks; in
fact, they have become too we'll &C
quainted to suit the man who hopes
to be able to wear his oxfords and
B. v. Ds until Thanksgiving.
The calendar is a few weeks be-
right down to 1t. but 1t is best not to
tip this off. Anyone who had to walk
down town this morning and back
home for lunch this moo will give his
solemn oath that the good old sum-
mer time has departed.
Labor day Is the official day for dis
carding straw lids and October I Is
the date for laying summer wearing
apparel aside. However, some Of the
most courageous characters set the
first Of November as the date for put
ting "'em" on and getting shoes that
fit closely around the ankles. The
man or woman who is neither ultra
conservative nor ul%tra-radical accepts
October 1 as the date, whether cold
breezes are endured before that day,
or sweltering heat after.

the officers for such new district were
not elected and did moi qualify until
later. The ease was appealed from
Stutsman county.
In the cas- Of the Minot Flour Mill

court did not disturb the decision of

BELLS BLESSED
At ST. M|CHAELS
Impressive Service Takes
Place on Steps With
Many Looking On.

The solemn service Of the blessing
Of the peal of four bells given to St
Mlchael's Catholic church by Mayo.
NJ. F. Murphy and family took place
at the church Sunday afternoon at
o'clock. The four bells were placed
on the high stone steps at the en-.
trance to the church and were dec.
Grated with vines and asters. Mon.
signor j. A .Lemieux. the church a
tor. performed the blessing ceremony
and was assisted by Fathers Schim-
me- and Hart and twenty altar boys.
Nearly the entire congregation was
present at the services and after the
blasting. b~enediction of the Blessed
Sacrament was given within the
church.
FOR many. this unusual service OF
the Catholic church was witnessed
for the first time. and it was viewed
with interest as well as solemnity,
The several ceremonies Of the bless
ing were repeated for each separate
bell and each received the holy oils
and holy water. the service lasting
more than an hour.
Before the church sets aside bells
for sacred she blesses them with SOL
mi ceremonies. The form prescrib-
ed in the pontiical is headed the
blessing Of a bell" though it is popu-
larly called 1.-The baptism of a bell"
a title by which the office is mention
ed as early as the eleventh century.
The monsignor washes the bell with
blessed water, signs it with the oil of
the sick on the outside, and with
chrism inside. and lastly places under
1t the thurible with burning incense
He prays repeatedly that the sound
of the bell may avail to summon the
faithful. to excite their devotion, to
drive away storms. and to terrify evil
spirits. This power of course is due
to the blessings and prayers Of the
church. not to any efficacy super
stitiously attributed to the bell itself.
Thus consecrated. bells become spir-
itual things. and cannot be rung with.
out the consent of the ecclesiastical
authorities.
Small bells are also used DURING
mass. and are rung by the r al
the Sanctus and Elevation. The OBJ
ject Of this rite is to excite the atten-
ton and devotion Of the faithful. The
practice of ringing the bell at the Ele-
vaticn was introduced after the u
tom Of elevating the host had become
common in the church. The Eleva-
ton bell is mentioned by William OF
Paris. This bell is not rung when
mass is said before the Blessed Sac
rament exposed. nor again in the pri-
vate chapel Of the apostolic palace II
