SAYS y N: c. A.
IS BEST TRAINER
President of Fargo College
Believes in Physical and
Religious Development

A very interesting address "a
afternoon by DR.. c. C. Creegan. presi-
dent of Fargo college. His subject
was Our Young Men the Hope of
the Church and the Nation"
The doctor paid a high tribute to
the Y. NJ. C. A. in its work of develop
ing all-around men on accoun of Its
paying so much attention to the ply
social and the religious features of
the training. He said that as Il young
boy he was active in the gymnasium
work of the association. and he at
tributed his almost perfect health at
this time of life in his early training.
He considered q good sound body
necessary for the best moral and mem
tai efficiency. In modern city life the
Y. NJ. c. A. was the best place for
such training, he said.
DR.. Creegan said that he knew John
l.. Sullivan in his palmy days, and
he was surprised at the small caliber
of the man He had developed his
muscles at the cost of his intellectual
character. He dwelt on the import
minds at every opportunity. They
should be doing this all their lives.
He spoke Of a great %botanist, who
after fifty years Of study, came to the
conclusion that he had only half
reached the goal for which he had be-
gun to strive in his youth. Here was
an example of the importance of con-
%tinuous effort.
The speaker talked of the useful
ness of the night school. He also dwelt
on the need of greater aesthetic cul-
ture in man, the love of beauty in
nature, good paintings. art and the
wonderful things in nature itself. He
condemned the way that many Ameri-
can tourists rushed through the art
see the beauty of the paintings. All
they could do was to Judge their
commercial value.
A mans goodness was not COM
plete. affirmed the doctor. until he
was developed morally and r%eligiously.
Only the church and the bible could
give the necessary rounding to his
the most brilliant student of his time
at Princeton, a grandson of Jonathan
Edwards. He said that after Burr had
graduated with high honors he went
into retirement for a While to decide
on his life's work. THE bible and
God should have no part in it." he
decided. He would he president of
the United States. History tells of the
failure of this illustrious life. ending
with the killing of Alexander Hamil-
ton. commented the doctor. OF the
$500 descendants. of Jonathan Ed
wards he was the most brilliant and
might have been the most successful,
yet he is the only one whose name is
mentioned with an apology.
DR.. Creegan urged young men to
affiliate with the Y. NJ. c. 4. and the
church. They needed the church and
the church needed them to make con
plete. all-around useful men out of
them.
The reading room of the Y. NJ. G.
A. was filled to its capacity. w. W.
Norton sang a soNo.,>

Is that of rebuilding the block at Cas-
selton which was destroyed by fire

CROP MOVEMENT
NEWEST EVER
Railroads Just Beginning to
Face Real Problem of
Freight Business.

While potato growers Of Grand
Forks county and this section Of the
state are just beginning to be relieved
OF their troubles pertaining to the
shortage of cars, the real crisis In the
great problem confronting the rail-
heaviest crop movement in history, is
not due until December /.
g. HI. Tunell, chief deputy grain in
spector for the state of Minnesota, de-
clares that the highest grain receipt
figures eve recorded in Minneapolis
will be reached within the next week,
when navigation on the great lakes
closes for the winter. and the huge
shipments that have been going to Du-
luth from the northwest are diverted
to Minneapolis.
Looks for New Records.
There is little doubt in my mind
that all records will be broken" said
the inspector. "Of course, IA great
many elements enter into the reckon
ing. The principal factor is the wealth.
er. II conditions remain as near ideal
as they are now the grain movement
into Minneapolis will be enormous.
Then the real crisis in the movement
will be at hand. Everything will de-
ton, and I believe the lines already
are preparing for the emergency.
Grain to Be Diverted.
1T is a fact that most of the grain
now going to Duluth will be diverted
to Minneapolis when lax navigation
closes. When one considers that Du-
luth has been receiving practically as
much wheat during the season as Min
neapolis the great significance of this
change is routing shipments to this
center may be grasped. Duluth has
no received as heavy shipments in
other grades OF grain as Minneapolis
however.
Wheat Of Excellent Grade.
wheat has been steadily improv-
ing in grade during h past three
weeks until nov it is about fifty per
cent better than 1t was during the
early part of the season. 1t is con-
siderably heavier than it was last sea-
son and for this reason much more
this winter than was stored in the
same elevators one year ago. Most of
the improved No. 1 Northern wheat
is coming from North Dakota. over
the 500, Great Northern and Northern
Pacific lines. The early season rains
do not appear to have damaged the
wheat we now are receiving to any Sc
rious extent.
Corn Begins to Arrive.
Corn is just beginning to come in
in large quantities. most Of it from
Minnesota. and the Dakotas. It is
much drier than last season. and Of
good grade, but not quite SO plump.
"a daily average of 700 cars per
day of grain is reaching Minneapolis
now. About 5000, 600 bushels are
stored in local elevators and there is
a capacity of from 65,O00,00 to 40.-
600, 900 bushels"

HOLDEN To RESIGN
POSITION IN IOWA
Corn Authority Will Give
Time to Harvester Com
pany-Have Field Here.

p. G. Holden, the we'll known corn
uthorlt who was the chief speaker
at the last two conventions of the
North Dakota Corn INC Glover assoc
citation in this city, will resign as pres
ident of the Iowa Agricultural ASSOC
citation, as IL result of his acceptance
of the offer of the International Har-
vester company to become the head Of
its service bureau, with headquarters
at Chicago.
The service bureau has already To-
Gated one of its demonstration tracts
near this city. having leased the Din
ME farm just west of the city for this
purpose. 1t will be the only demon
stration farm in the state n will be
thoroughly equipped to carry on the
work. The South Dakota farm will
be located at Aberdeen.
Professor Holden will devote a
month to studying the best plan Of
procedure for the service bureau of
the harvester company before he
starts his campaign. He will have at
which, he has been assured, will be in
creased or doubled when needed. The
harvester concern expects to devote
100000 annually to the work of the
service bureau.
1.-THE service bureau will carry on a
constructive and educational cam
paign. entirely i~ndependent of manu-
facturingand sales," said Professor
Holden. THE work will be largely
agricultural. because it is on the farm
that the most good can be accom-
plishcd. AS explained to me originally
by c. II. Mccormick. president of the
International Harvester company. the
work of the service bureau is carried
on MT GO much in avnaofnfinn nf In.
creased business, but for the good that
the company can accomplish for hui
mainly in general.
This may sound strange, coming
from a big corporation. but it is true.
I investigated things thoroughly be-
fore 1 accepted the offer. I was sur
prised at the high plane on which the
business of the concern is carried.
1.-THE work of the service bureau
will be planned along definite lines.
We may plan to promote alfalfa on
the farms III the corn belt. We may
taken up u campaign in rura
ers' clubs, conduct short courses and
extension work INC carry the plans
out to the fullest extent. We will es-
tablish scholarships in agricultural
colleges and give premiums for agri-
cultural work.. We will help out any
movement in Iowa OF other states but
will expect some cooperation in return
and, for that reason, 1 hope that there
is maintained in iowa an organization
that can cooperate with us in agricul-
tural promotion. I certainly would
like to see Iowa get it's share and I
am sure it will.
"My reason for accepting the offer
of the company is that it will give me
an opportunity to carry out my ideal
work. 1t took a long time before
could convince myself that 1t was the
best thing to do. but I am confident
Lean he, of>sreater service to human:
ity by accepting the offer. I will have
plenty of backing and my field. will be
unlimited. In fact forty-two per cent
of the business of the company is
conducted in foreign fields and the
work. of the extension bureau will ex-
tend to these countries"

EMBARGO ON GRAIN
FROM CANADA MAY
BE THE NEXT MOVE

Numerous shipments of grain, barred
by the embargo recently enforced on
the lines of the Canadian Pacific in
western Canada. because of conges-
routed via the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific road to Duluth,
through this city.
1t is declared, however. that the
same difficulty confronts the shipper
at Duluth as at Fort William, and If
the additional movement from the
provinces overwhelms the elevators at
the head of the lakes an embargo on
american lines against the Canadian
grain may be necessary.
