Mr.. Duncan was eighty-two years old on
March IS and seemed as hale and viriie as
ever. As usual he took a long walk in
Fifth avenue on that day and had dinner

on his health and the fact that ne was
ever able to keep in touch with the times

decades of business and social life. lie was
one OF the most prominent railroad men III

And with another radiant smile, she
moved toward her room.

By Jove, somehow l had hoped she

He fingered for one bearlike grab
at my hand.
"And say, don't forgotten / know

He called over his shoulder with a
grin: Keep it dark-as dark as those
black pajamas, Dicky!"
And as long as I could see, he stood
on the deck, waving his hat at me, as
stood here with my mouth open, my
eyes following him with horror.
By Jove, who was he, and what did

The Chairman
helIstrom Said, 10 Favor Gov.
errors Private Secretary
for Chairman
Macarthur May Have Trouble
10 Being Renamed Head
Of Democrats

FARGO, Aug. 2.-That an open
break in the state Democratic ma
chine Is imminent and a fight on
state Chairman Macarthur has been
planned in certain quarters Of the
t1ickertail Democracy, Is further con.
firmed by an interview with Frank
0. Hellstrom in The Minneapolis
Tribune. Mr.. Hellstrom, the candi.
date for governor, is credited with
the statement that Pat Byrne, secre-
tary to Governor Burke, will be
brought out for state chairman to
succeed Macarthur.
The interview with Warden He'll
strom in the Minneapolis paper says:
Mr.. Hellstrom brought a piece OF
political news. He said that at the
meeting Of the Democratic state COM
mittee, Sept. 2, for organization, it
is likely that d. H. Macarthur of Far.
60, the present state chairman, will
retire In favor of Pat Byrne, now Sec
rotary to Gov. John Burke. This
move, it Is claimed, will do away
with all discord in the party ranks"
Macarthur Smiled.
The state chairman was seen this
morning in the Garden hotel lobby
and was shown the Hellstrom inter-
view given above. Mr.. Macarthur was
quite non.committal though he gave
the impression that the interview was
faxed and that no credence should be
placed in it.
Il think someone has just tried to
slip n owe on Hellstrom," vas his
comment. Il know nothing about
this. / hadn't heard of Secretary
Byrne being a candidate for state
chairman"
do you want to say anything in
reply to this Hellstrom nterview?" he
was asked.
mo-" he answered, smiling the
well known Macarthur smile, Il have
nothing to say"

For several weeks past it has been
quite generally rumored that State
Chairman Macarthur will have his
hands full in landing the state chair
manship this year, owing to the dis

in the national committeeman cleo
ton in March. The followers of near
ly all the unsuccessful candidates at
that time have seemingly been up in
arms against him and some have not

names have been mentioned for the

FENCES Make
MORE PROFITS
Enclosures Make It Possible
To Utilize Fields For
Fall Pastures
ACCESSIBILITY Of .Permant
Wires Around Farms En-
Also Urged

Fencing, on many farms, affords an
excellent investment. There are on
! every farm a number of acres, usual
ly a large part Of the tillable area
Of the farm, that from harvest time
until seeding time the following year
are, practically speaking, unproduc.
tive. In many cases these fields are
allowed to produce weeds during the
fall, which cannot but give trouble
later. If this land were fenced,
either permanently or with a tenn
p0rary fence, much pasture might be
obtained from these fields. At the
university farm, as many as 40 days
Of pasture for q thousandpound ami.
NAL have been secured per acre from
rape and rye seed.in oat stubble after
the oat crop was harvested. Such q
crop is almost clear gain. There are
in Minnesota probably 10000 900
acres of land that are unproductive
from the latter part Of July or first
Of August until It freezes up in the
fall. A very large proportion Of this
land might be made, by fencing and
the use Of live stock, to produce from
so cents to several dollars per acre.
Making use of this one factor alone
may 60 a good ways toward paying
interest on one-hundred. dollar-an.acre
land.
The shape and size OF the field has
much to do with the cost of fencing.
For example, to enclose q ten.acre
field,that is 20 by 80 rods in size,
200 rods Of fencing will be required,
or 20 rods per acre; to enclose q
square ten.acre field, 100 rods Of fenc-
ing will be required, or 16 rods per
acre; to enclose a square 4Oacre
field, 800 rods Of 1encing will be re-
quired, or eight rods per acre; to n
close a section OF land four miles Of
fencing will be required, or two rods
Of fencing per acre.
Use Of Temporary Fencing.
"A practical system on many farms
is to enclose the whole farm with a
good permanent fence and then use
temporary fence for cross fencing.
There are many advantages in this.
In the first place, the fields are not
80 badly broken up for blowing, and
secondly, the fence rows which are
likely to harbor weeds are largely
eliminated when temporary fences +
used.
In building temporary fences much
effort may usually be saved II the
work Is done according to some GER
tain plan. In many instances It 10
easier to get the fence straight BY
striking a straight furrow across the
field than BY lining up the posts with
sticks. For temporary fences, It Il
much easier to use posts, not more
than six feet long and not larger than

that Is thought will promote harmony
in the ranks.
An attempt was made this morning
to obtain the attitude Of the two To-
cal candidates toward Secretary
Byrne, but Mr.. Mclean was out OF
the city. MIR. Wilkinson said:
81 would most cordially support Mr..
Byrne. l think the suggestion Of his
name a fine idea. He has had enough
experience in managing three sue.
cessful campaigns for Governor
Burke and ought to know the game.
If he will accept, he will have no OPP
position. I hope he does for I am
always looking forward to better con-
ditions."
