fourteen horses and mules.

A SPLENDID LECTURE
Rev. o. w. FinwaIl Delighted a Good
Sized Audiences in Tabernacle on
Trip Through Norway.

A good sized audience at the taber-
nacle last evening heard Rev. o. w.
FinwatI, the noted Chicago evangelist,
give his celebrated lecture on a Tour
Through Norway, n those present
were delighted with his descriptive
powers and the manner in which he
presented his subject.
The audience followed the speaker
closely clear through with his trip
and many were the places that had
been recognized by them as places
they had visited in the mother coun-
try.
One of the features of the evening
was the rendering by Miss Myrtle
FinWall Of several selections OF Nor
wegtan songs, which were greatly APP
preciated. All through his lecture Mr.
Finwall presented a number Of mag
ntficent views, showing the points OF
interest in the northland, taking his
hearers directly from New York city
to the harbor in Norway, and from
there through the different fine views
of the midnight SUM-, many Of the
views being colored.
A very pretty feature of the even
ing was when n of Ibsen's mos!
popular songs were shown on the
canvass and the audience aro and
rendered it standing.
Mr.. and Miss Finwail left this aft.
ernoon for their home in Chicago, but
| promised to come back to North Da.
| kota again in the fall.

FLYING COTTONWOOD LINT.

The lint from the female cotton
wood trees is abroad in the land. 1t
is blowing into open doors, straining
itself through window screens and
cIogging up typewriters and sewing
machines. To say the lint is a NUS
ance would be putting it mildly.
There are many friends Of the cot
tonwood trees. They are kindly re-
garded by the pioneers because they
are so hardy and grow so rapidly.
They were fine and dandy forty and
thirty and twenty years ago, but there
is little excuse for them now. There
are So many other varieties of hardy
trees than can be successfully grown
there is no necessity for the cotton
woods. ,..,
Some people urge the enactment Of
a law prohibiting female cottonwood
trees within the limits Of any organ
lied village or city. The idea is not
a bad one. The male trees that do
not shed cotton could be retained for
shade purposes.

FIRE FIGHTERS
WERE OVERCOME
TWO FIRES LAST EVENING IN
THE CITY KEPT THE FIRE DE.
PARTMENT BUsY-cHIEF suTH-
ERLANp AND ASSISTANT CHIEF
SMOKE VICTIMS.

Two fires in quick succession kept
the fire department Of the city busy
last evening. In the earlier part of
the evening the department was CALI
ed to the building occupied by the
American Gas Machine Co., on Eighth
street south, where the flames had
started in the basement. Later last
night an alarm was sent in from the
Eggert market on Broadway, which
had caught fire in the rear.
The flames in the basement of the
American Gas Machine Co., building
wrought considerable havoc and so
thick was the smoke that Fire Chief
Sutherland and Assistant Chief Cham
pion were overcome and had to be
carried out of the building. The chief
suffered a bad cash in one of his
wrists and 1t was necessary TO take
several stitches in the~wound. Both
were revived.
Nearly everything In the way of
stock carried by the was
lost. The place had been closed all
day and the origin Of the FIRE is quite
mysterious. About 8 o'clock smoke
was seen isuing from the basement
and an alarm was turned in at once.
It was fortunate that the flames did
not spread beyond the confines OF the
basement.
The Eggert fire was soon extinguish-
ed and no great loss was suffered.

BETTER FARMING.

There IL nc getting away from the
fact that farming is Of vital inpor-

steady increase in population which
will continue for an indefinite period.

cultivated or the quantity produced on
each acre must be increased.

PETTY VANDALISM.

Many instances Of destruction Of
flowers and gardens are reported IN
the city. 1t is difficult to form q con-
ception Of a grown person who would
commit such depredations. Only ex-

adult to commit such acts. Tracks
have been found in some instances
which would indicate that small boys
were not entirely to blame. Applica-

vandal OF this nature.
There are many people In Fargo
making an earnest effort to beautify
their property by setting out shrub

couraging to do this-and have their
flowers stolen and plants ruined.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2s, 1919.
PRIMARIES TO-DAY.

The people Of North Dakota are
nominating congressional judicial,
statA. legislative and county tickets
today. The new assessors regis
tration law was worked for the first
time and 1t was not generally under
stood. Many people, either through
Misunderstanding or through stub
bornness refused to give Their politi-
cal preferences and are barred from
voting. Many others were not seen
by the assessors ana will have to
make q declaration to that effect to
vote.
II looks like these complications
may keep the vote down. Few people
anticipate as large q vote as was cast
two years ago in June.
The presidential preference primar-
les in March used up considerable OF
the enthusiasm Of the voters ana the
present statewide primaries have not
excited the interest that was antici-
pated.
For three Of the state Offices on the
republican ticket there was n, oppo-
sition. For sone other Offices the
contests were decidedly one-sided.
The ambition Of four men TO be the
republican nominee for governor
caused more interest in that contest
than for the other of1ces.
The utmost confidence Is expressed
in the nomination of Mr.. Hanna.
Little interest was taken in county
or legislative matters. In the former
the rivalry over the nomination for
sheriff and for states attorney at
tracted more attention than for the
other positions.
