AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Aug.
22.-It is probable that the dandelion
gives more gain in pleasure to the
three year olds than It causes loss to
adults. However, dandelions may be
controlled.
Primarily weed spraying methods
we're developed so that weeds could
be held in check in grain fields when
they were too thick to pull or handle
in other ways or when the fields were
too extensive to allow OF cultivation.
We had in mind the cotton field mus.
tard. The work as it developed proves
to be a real boon to those who carry
it out carefully and at the proper
time, it being possible to produce
much more wheat on the same ground
after proper weed spraying and at
the same time prevent the prOduc-
ton OF seed by the weeds.
Incidentally it was found that dan
deliOns in blue grass lawns could be
held under easy control at small ex-
pense. Unfortunately those who are
least competent to do the work in a
manner in which it should be. done
are the ones most anxious to try such
experiments. There have been many
failures. Spraying on small private
lawns is hardly profitable work or
even desirable for the a that
anyone who will NOV a lawn al often
as 1t should be mown in oder to make
a good grass growth will have no par
ticular trouble in keeping a lawn In
such form that dandelions will be OF
slight importance.

TRAIN SERVICE
AGAIN RESUMED
For First Time This Week
Trains Are Running Regular
Through Here

After three days of demoralized
train service on the Northern Pacific
railway, Bismarck is ono again con
nected with the eastern and western
states and all passenger trains are
now running on scheduled time. Since
the heavy rain Sunday night which
washed out six miles of track, three
miles west of Wibaux, Mont, Bis.
marck has been practically isolated
from the eastern and western states
as far as train service is concerned.
Today, Thursday is the first time
since Sunday that all of the Northern
Pacific passenger trains have passed
through Bismarck. The washout did
not only effect the travelling public
but has delayed both the eastern and
western mails. Every business firm
Of the city has been more or less
effected by the washout and all are
smiles now since the trains are run
ming on scheduled time. The offices
at the state capitol in all probability
have been effected to a greater ex.
tent than any other firm or institu-
ton in the city. The mails from the
East have been delayed and it will
take the different forces the rest Of
the week to catch up with their
work.
Although the trains are all running
again they are from fifteen minutes
to two hours late. East bouna pas

doned since Monday was two hours

night is scheduled to arrive on time

ed from an embarrassing position and
no n Is more pleased since the
service has been resumed then the
local officials themselves. 1t is sin.
cerely hoped that Bismarck will not
have to suffer again with such serv.

IOWA FOR TAFT.

The friends of President Taft con.
trolled the Iowa state Republican
convention at Cedar Rapids Wednes-
day by the safe, majority of forty
one votes and named the four dele
gates-at-large to the national conven-
ton In Chicago in June. As finally
made up the Iowa delegation stands:
Taft sixteen, CuDlmins ten. From
present indications these are the only
votes Senator Cummins will have in
the Chicago convention. The following
resolutions were adopted:
I'VE, the Republicans of Iowa, in
convention assembled, pledge our
selves anew to the welfare Of the Re-
publican party. We believe that under
the able and magnanimous leadership
of William Howard Taft the party has
made record in national affairs that
is not only in harmony with its illus
trious past, but that will more and
more appeal to the conscience ana
good Judgment of the American peo-
pie.
1--WE hereby instruct our four dele
gates-at-large to the Republican ma
tional convention to vote for and to
use all honorable means to bring about
his nomination for President.

nIHE WRATH OF GOD. !,

AS usual, the small-bore preacher
has arisen in various parts OF the
country to convey to the ungodly the
comforting assurance that the wreck
of the Titanic was an act Of the Al
mighty intended to inflict vengeance
on the sinners aboard the vessel and
to warn the worldly" of the power OF
omnipotence. The following from the
Peoria Transcript Is entirely
apropos in this connection:
THE time when these mental vul-
lures received serious consideration is
past. IF they want to believe In that
sort of God, says the normal man,
let them take what joy they can OF
their religion. The attitude Of mind
displayed by these men Is a splendid
illustration of the truth embodied IN
an epigram recently offered by the
Herald-Transcript's Hereto: God, to
the saint is merely the apotheosfs
of self . These preachers are simply
making God in their own image.

Some comprehensive scheme of
road building by the federal govern
ment, scheme that will give this
country system of highways COM
parable with those of Europe, Is like
ly to result from the effort the Amerf-
can Automobile Association Is now
centering on congress. The initial
step toward this end is contemplated
in a joint resolution introduced by
Representative Underwood OF Ala
bama, which provides for the appoint
ment of a committee composed of
three members of the senate and
three from the house to investigate
the cost of public highways. This
committee will recommend as to the
advisability of congress giving aid to
national good roads projects.
The great need of such aid is now
recognized by congress, although in
formation as to just how to proceed
is lacking. 1t is probable that as soon
as definite scheme is worked out, an
appropriation of at least s50,0o0,000
will be invested in an improved sys-
tenn of highways. Several influential
members OF the senate. among them
Senator Newlands, of Nevada, are In
favor of this proposition.
