MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Everino Grain Letter.

Chicago, May s.-Wheat: The mar
ket opencd irregular and prices show
cd declines ranging from " TO 2hc.
There was very general liquidation,
particularly on the part OF local pro-
f-egsionais. offerings being taken by
commission houses, in the main. the
fact Of yesterdays condition as given
~ the government being rather in eM-
eass Of what the trade at large eN-
oected. doubtless caused the very gem
sral Hauidation among a certain class
81 holders, which has taken place to-
day.
with a conceded abandonment OF ~
10000 acres. we are rather inelirco
~ question a condition approaching
20. However. taking the hgures as
given. a probable yield of 3Eo'ooO'ooV
bushels Of winter cannot be construed
IN any other light than a bullish ohe
ana now that weak holders are OUT
although many Of them are unques-
lonably more than friendly to prices
any attempt to reinstate themselves IN
the market would cause a very DECIDED
1pturu, We thoroughly believe III
very much higher prices and strongly
advise our friends to take advantage
- an s,,ch weak spots as occurred TO-
lay to make purchases.

KENNEDY'S CATTLE
TOP The MARKET
EIGHTY HEAD or CATTLE FAT
TENED ON KENNEDY FARMS
ON NORTH DAKOTA GROWN
CORN BROUGHT $3.50 TO OWN.
ER-MANY WERE YEARLINGs.

That North Dakota cattle fattened
on home grown corn will bring big
money to fIckertatl farmers is DEM
onstrated by the recent sale OF eighty
head Of bovines, thirty-one OF which
nedy from his famous farm near Addi-
son In this county, and which topped
the st. Paul market.
Senator Kennedy received word this
morning from the st. Paul stock deal
ers to whom he disposed Of his cattle,
that eighty head brought him $7,650.S4,
after shipping expenses had been de-
Quoted. This is one of the biggest
amounts ever received by any stock
grower Of the Red river valley for cat
tie. Thirty-one were yearlings, and all
fattened on North Dakota grown corn.
"This demonstrates the possibilities
of North Dakota corn growing" said
Senator Kennedy to a Forum repre-
sentative this morning. And it more
than confirms all that President Weiser
Of the First National bank has said
about the value of u farmers rails
ing corr in this state. No better adj
vice has been given the North Dakota
farmers than by President Weiser
when he advocated raising corn right
here in this state, which is something
he has been preaching for three years
or more. 1 hope every one will be
Weakened up to the possibilities Of
growing corn here
Comparing market reports the price
Senator Kennedy received for his cat
tie is better than that paid for cattle
raised in Illinois and Iowa on corn
grown in those states.

LANDS WELL SOAKED
Rainfall So Far in May 1.5s Inches
Added to That for April Makes
3.s5 Inches This Spring.

Farmers say that the lands tributary
to the Red river are thoroughly wet
on the surface and because frost is not
all out of the ground the recent rains
have all gone into the streams-hence
the rise of the water In the Red River
and other streams.
May l the guage of the river, ac-
cording to the report Of Mrs. Grasse,
the local observer, was $40 feet. The
reading today was 90 feet, two tenths
more than yesterday, making the total
rise II feet since the first of the month.
The Moorhead station reports precipi-
tation during the last twenty-four
hours 10. The report of the voluntary
observer at Fergus Falls a y the rain
fall at that station from May | to 8, in
elusive, was 3.07 inches. With the
rainfall there during the last days OF
April and hat of May to date the total
precipitation was 400 inches.
Today's thermometer readings show
warmer weather in the Canadian
northwest. The highest reading In
Moorhead yesterday was so above zero

SUNDAY At The A. c.
Evangelist Delivered Address to Farm
School Students This Morning
Gave Good Advice.

Billy Sunday, the famous baseball
evangelist, addressed the students at
the agricultural college this morning.
He gave them some sound advice in
his remarks and some that they will
not o forget.
Don't think your education is fin-
ished when you walk out of this in
stitution with your diploma" said Mr..
Sunday. Learn to do uncommon
things in an m way and don't
be a trailer.
"One way to succeed is to know
more about your own business than
anyone else does. Be careful in little
things for carelessness is expensive.
There is no such word as fail If a
person has sticktoitiveness. A man
never ceases to grow. If fate clips
your wings and casts you into humber
walks of life, don't give up but keep
climbing"

WAS ALL SOLD
Directors Of Northwestern Hospital
Report Closing Sale of Stock to
Meet Indebtedness.

At a meeting of the directors of the
Northwestern Hospital association.
last night, the committee, appointed
several months ago to take charge of
the selling of $4,000 Of stock in the
association for the purpose Of paying
off the floating Indebtedness, carried
from the old association, reported that
the required amount had been raised
by the sale of shares and the dona-
ton Of private subscriptions.
The committee which has done this
good work was made up of substan-
tiaI farmers and business men who
have kept everlastingly at it since
they went to work last fall. The
work has been principally a house to
house canvass Of the farmers over the
county, and while 1t has been tedious
the members of the committee say
that on the whole they found the
people interested in the institution
and realized its need and usefulness
at a central location like Moorhead
and they heard at large very favor
able comments on the excellent man
agement OF the hospital under the
new organization.
The committee was made up of
John Olness, August H. Hicks, Ole
Nelson, DR.. Louis Nelson, A. ]. Wright,
c. A. Linder, G. Peterson and Julius
G. Johnson. The committee has been
continued and it will now devote its
efforts to the sale of stock to take
UP the bonded indebtedness, $40. 000.
A work which is to be undertaken
now as soon as possible will be the
erection of a very much needed build
ing which is to be used for the prop
err housing Of the nurses employed at
the hospital. Manager Johnson says
the lack of a nurses' home is a big
handicap to the proper conduct of the
institution.
