REPORTS ARE OPTIMISTIC
North Dakota Better Farming Experts
Send in Weekly Rcport-Rain
Has Done Some Damage.

Reports from the field men of the
North Dakota Better Farming associa-
ton r universally optimistic regard
ing the conditions in the state. The
reports owe the week ending Aug.
II. and have been sent in to Secretary
Cooper from his lieutenants in the
different counties.
The Grand Forks county expert re-
ports thai the wheat harvest has beer
about completed. Between sixty and
seventy-ive per cent of the grain is in
the shock and the average yield is re-
ported about twenty bushels. Early
oats are cut and in the shock and a
number of fields have been threshed.
The reported yield is varying, but will
run about fifty-five bushels to the
acre.
Secretary Cooper did not care to ex-
press Ar opinion as to the amount of
damage which perhaps has been done
by h heavy rainfall which has total
ed almost two inches Of moisture.
That some damage has beer done is
certain but the experts do not think
hat 1t will amount to much in the
aggregate provided the farmers are
now accorded dry weather.

MAN DIsAPPEARs


Moorhead. MIMI, Aug. 2O.@consid-
cradle mystery surrounds the disap-
pearance of an unknown man who.
either with suicidal intent or because
he was frightened at the approach
Of a gasoline speeder on the N. p.
railway bridge across the Red river.
jumped to the ground. a distance of
perhaps thirty feet.
Witnesses hurried to his aid and he
was taken to the office Of DIR. Verne.
but while he was. being examined he
stepped out of the door and disap-
peared. The doctor believes the man
may have been badly hurt internally,
and the Moorhead police weer advised
to make every possible effort to locate
him.
There are several rumors current as
to what prompted the man to make
the jup. One bystander said that the
fellow appeared to be crazy. and that
he had threatened to take his life.
Another stated hat the man had de-
clared he was going to practice to be
a high diver. and walked out on the
bridge with the deliberate intention Of
making the leap.
There is another story to the effect
that the ma became frightened at
the approach of a speeder on the. n:
p tracks and leaped to avoid being
struck. This. however. was entirely
unnecessary. and the theory Is gener-
ally secuted.

Looking Bright For Clark

Washington, D. c., Apr. TO-
Speaker Clark's candidacy for the
Democratic Presidential nomination
continues to gather strength. His list
of delegates instructed or favorable
has grown in the last week from &c
to rs. Alaska and the Philippines
added ~ delegates to the number
already instructed. The Speakers
friends are now so confident of his
nomination that they believe ne may
be chosen on the first ballot.
The next two weeks promise to add
materially to the number of Clark
delegates. Farmer Senator Fred
Dubois, who is in charge of the Clark
campaign believes that Illinois, the
next State to act, will give Speaker
Clark majority of SO 900 in the
primaries, and he would not be sur
prised if it reaches 100000.
The most striking feature of the
Clark candidacy is the increasing
strength of the Speaker among mem
bers of Congress. Members of the
House and Senate are flocking to his
standard, and it is significant that a
majority of the Democratic delega-
tions in all of the pivotal States
look upon the Speaker as the man
who, of all candidates, would be the
strongest to lead the party in the
election campaign. The great State
of New York will be for Calrk's
nomination. This is almost a GER.
tainty.
The Speakers supporters in the
United States Senate were strength.
ened this week by the swearing in OF
the two Senators from the new State
OF Arizona. Senator Mark Smith has
been a lifelong friend of Speake,
Clark. He and Champ were born il
Kentucky and went to college to.

sity. In later life they became close
friends in the House of Representa-
tives, where Senator Smith served fol
many years as delegate from Ari.

The Wattin. of Ennland

If the king of England were to re.
nounce the throne and resolve to be
come an ordinary citizen he would be
called George Victim. How does the
name Victim come to be the kings
surname? This is the answer:
Queen Victoria married Albert. duke
of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha. of the senior
branch of the house of Saxony. The
family name by which this house. dat
ing from the middle of the tenth cen
tury, came to be known afterward was
Victim, and this was and is the sur.
name of both branches-the Ernestfne
and Albertine-of the house OF Saxony
The name comes from the castle OF
Victim, near Magdeburg. which claim
ed Wittekind as the founder OF tho
race. -London Answers.
