boys from every county of North Da-
kota who have been attending the

accounts will be given prides offered
by the Better Farming association,
Several Of the boys were inter-
viewed this morning on the way they
thought to improve the farm boys
enca ampment next year when the
camp will be held in Grand Forks,
It was the controlling sentiment Of Of
those interviewed that next year the
boys should be allowed to do their
own cooking as this, they say, was
important for any farm boy to know.
A number of the boys said that the
better farming encampment had pro-
vided them the best time in their
young lives and that they would
never forget it as long as they lived.
The weeks work. they declared, had
opened their eyes to what can be
accomplished on the farm in the way
or modern agriculture. Some of the
boys had never been on a train until
they came to the. farm boys encamp-
ment of the Better Farming associa-
ton in Fargo this week.
Last night the delegates from the
several counties of the state held an
INFORMAL meeting and elected a. res

Washington. July 27.-Diplomacy
ran against congressional astuteness
today and lost, when the house refus-
ed to print report sent to 1t by
President Taft at the request of Sec
retary of State Knox.
The report was the Official record of
the proceedings of the international
prison congress- held in Washington
in 1910 and was 131 pages long. The
printing fund of the state department
was at low ebb. so Secretary Knox
conceived the idea of sending the re-
port to the house, which had not re-
quested it, with the hope that it would
be referred to the foreign affairs COM
mittee and printed at the expense of
the congressional allotment
Representative Fitzgerald, chair
man of the committee on appropria-
tions characterized the secretary Of
states action as "presumptuous" and
on his motion the report was laid on
the speakers table without being act
ed upon.
