BIG TINE AT The
HILLSBOR0 PICNIC
SONS or NORWAY PICNIC At
TENDED BY 1000, AND 200 OF
THESE WERE FROM FARGO
THE oRPHEus slNGINe SOCIETY
WAS A BIG HIT.

The Orpheus Singing society. direct
ed by p. Al. Rudd OF this city, accom-
panied by 200 other Fargo Norwegian
citizens, went to Hillsboro yesterday
morning on the $3.50 train on the
Northern Pacific railroad to partici-
pate in the annual picnic Of the Sons
OF Norway, and they had a delightful
time. The Fargo contingent vas mar
shaled by H. ]. Hagen, Alfred Gabriel
son, Morris Hanson, o. G. Lindvig
and M. j.. Esteraas and other promt-
nent members of the Krdngen lodge.
and there were in all over 1000 people
in attendance at the picnic and re-
union.
The thirty members OF the singing
society made q most favorable inn
preston, and owing to the fact that
the choruses from Grand Forks and
Hatton did not show UP the Fargo
chorus was substituted.
Nearly all who went had well filled
baskets and a regular old-fashioned
picnic dinner was the result and 1t
was greatly enjoyed.
The opening selection was by the
Hfilsboro band, and this was followed
by a chorus from the Hadstad, Mimi,
chorus. which was well received
Mayor L. j.. Anderson in a neat
address gave the visitors a most
hearty welcome, and said his city
was always pleased to entertain such
a company. The Orpheus then fol-
lowed with one OF its brilliant selec-
tons, after which Rev. M. FaIk Gjert-
sen, a we'll known Norwegian preacher
of Minneapolis. made a few most ap-
propriate remarks and was listened
to with the closest attention. The
entire company then Joined in singing
America, after which there was more
music by the Hillsboro band, when
the programme was adjourned for the
dinner hour.
After dinner the band again rem
dered a selection and there were two
more selections rendered by the Or
pheus. Miss Beatrice Olson. rendered
a recitation, after which Mrs. A. @
Anderson sang a Norwegian selection,
followed by an other address by Rev
Mr.. Gjertsen and another address by
Prot J.. A. Hall. and the programme
was concluded late in the afternoon
with a selection by the hand.
The balance OF the time was spenj
in social conversation and visiting, and
the Fargo party reached home at $3.50
last evening.

FINE TRIBUTE TO
HON. L. 3. HANNA.

Valley City Patriot: Two more
days and it will be all over but the
shouting. During the campaign
The Patriot hasn't ''corked'' itself
in efforts TO sling either taffy or
mud at the candidates. Neverthe-
less it has its opinions, and one is
the abuse and mud that Is now be-
ing heaped on Congressman Ham
ma Is doing that gentleman more
good than harm. Were one to be-
lieve all the stuff that has been
printed about Mr.. Hanna he would
appear to be endowed with split
hoofs and horns. The writer has
known MI. Hanna for twenty-five
years, and don't know of his do
ing a wiilful dishonorabIe act.
Doubtless he has made mistakes,
political mistakes. But it is i'm
possible to point to a single public
official who has not made mis-
takes. The writer hasn't known
Mr.. Buchanan fifteen minutes. and
he may be all that he is Cracked
UP to be-" but we cannot see that
he holds any edge over Mr.. Hanna.
One thing we notice is that Mr..
Hanna's adherent's are in better
business than singing mud at Mr..
Buchanan. The Patriot is not GER
tain that it can influence more
than one vote, but that n vote is
for L. B. Hanna.

Big RECEPTION

lance which the railroad attaches to
this work
Rotation of crops can be approached
from a good many standpints. The
soil man urges rotation in order to
bring in crops that make different
drafts on the soil, that add organic
matter. that bring about different
methods OF cultivation, so that weeds
are killed out. The farm manager will
bring out these reasons, but he will
also emphasize the fact that rotation
of crops brings in live stock, distrib-
uteS the work, distributes income,
while the plant disease expert urges
rotation because 1T brings in condi-
tions that are not favorable to the
development Of plant disease. In other
words, when the same crop is grown
several q in succession 1t enables
h plant diseases to accumulate from
year to yea while IL q crop is intro
duced occasionally on which the dis
ease cannot live. they get starved out.
In the seed car on the Northern
Pacific farmers institute train is a big
exhibit of the effects OF plant diseases
on the different farm crops. For in
stance there is the root rot, which
affects the roots of the plant in such
a way that they are made incapable OF
taking up plant food, and so the plant
wits. Then there is the fax wilt,
which attacks the flax plant and chokes
it SO to speak, and it willis.
The fortunate thing about it all is
that the remedy lis so simple and it
is n that should by all means be
applied in order to secure the best
results from the soil.
In this car are also exhibits of weeds
and weed seeds. The nature of the

fax seed and wheat so as to kill any
of the plant diseases that ma be on
the seeds themselves. as considerable
disease Is introduced in the land in
this way.
An interesting machine in this ex-
hibit is a grain cleaner which will take
wild oats out of any grain, Including
common oats The feature Of this is
q cloth with q nap on it, in which the
hairs OF the wild oats get caught and
carries 1t out Of the other grain, which
canont hang on in this way.
Another interesting exhibit is one
showing that when heavyweight seed
is sown plump, bright seed is produced.
The plump seed has two advantages-
first 1T contains a larger amount OF
reserve food: second. it is usually free
from disease, and again it indicates
that 1t has come from a strong, Vigor-
ous mother plant.
The lessons learned from the seed
car are these: That the grain should
be thoroughly cleaned to remove all
weed seeds and to also remove all
small kernels, saving only the plump.
bright mes for seed. Then this should
be treated to kill any disease germs
that nay be on the outside of the
kernels, and the crop should be ro-
tated.

was under consideration and the mat
ter would be adjusted before the n
n1ittee me
proposals made by the friends OF
Judge Parker to Bryan and his friends
on the condition that they would ac-
cede to Parker's selection. Parker
himself lis apparently the most uncon-
cerned nan OF those involved. To-
day he stuck to his determination not
to discuss the issue.
1t was stated authoritatively that
friends Of Parker had thirty-one votes
out of fifty-two or the national com-
mittee. The national committee was
scheduled to meet at the arnnory this
forenoon but was late in assembling.
One OF the callers on Bryan during
the morning was John T. McGraw,
National committeeman from West
Virginia. McGraw is reported to have
opposed Bryan's position in regard to
the Craftsmanship. He would not talk
after the interview.
Bryan, when asked II he would go
to the arnnory, said he would remain
at the hotel throughout the day. This
seemed to indicate that he would not
appear al the committee meeting with
a proxy. He said he had no engage
ments for the day.
Members of the democratic national
committee may decide to pass upon
the question Of the ratification of the
delegation of Parker as temporary
chairman of the national convention
without debate. A resolution to vote
on the temporary Craftsmanship mat
ter without argument was prepared
for submission to the committee mem
bers at their meeting today, by Ed
win Wood, national committeeman
from Michigan.
Every member OF that COMMITTEES
knows how he is going to vote" said
Wood, "and we would only be vast
ing time talking about the chairman
ship. We can dispose of that matter
first, and then proceed with the con
tests"
During the morning hours friends of
Wilson renewed their overtures to the
leaders Of the movement for Clark, to
agree Upon a candidate for temporary
chairman to oppose Parker. The VIII
son and Bryan leaders openly said
they had made repeated efforts to join
the Clark leaders upon a progressive
man for temporary chairman, but that
the Clark leaders were no-committal,
and the Wilson managers said this
indicated that the Clark people would
be found voting for Parker.
Ollie James Mentioned.
1t was still undecided early today
what candidate the Wilson forces
would present to the national COM
mittee, but Josephus Daniels, nation
al committeeman from North Caro-
lima, served notice that he intended
to put forward the name Of Sen. Ollie
James of Kentucky.
II shall put James name before the
committee" said Daniels today.
while he is q Clark man and though
I am a strong Wilson man, I think
James would be fair to all. There is
no reason why the Clark forces can
not vote for James unless they are
committed to some one else"
