EMMONS COUNTY
CROPS ARE GREAT
PRESIDENT AND MRS. WORST
BACK FROM TRIP TO OLD HOME
coUNTY-WHERE LAND WAS
EARNED RIGHT, TEN ACRE
CROP BONUS HAS RESULTED.

Mrs, Worst and 1 had the pleasure
last week of visiting among old
friends and once familiar scenes in
Emmons county where we settled on
a homestead twenty mine years ago."
said j. II, Worst of the A. G. today.
The greeting we received was cordial
and duly appreciated by us.
ITO say that the crops there are
of the bumper sort this year is
putting it mildly. The yields will be
enormous. The quality of Emmons
county soil is above the average and
where proper attention was given to
seed selection and the seed bed was
given the most approved attention, the
Improvement m this years CROP is
quite noticeable. The general improve
ment in farm management largely ac-
counts for the immense prosperity that
the farmers Of that county now en-
joy.
apparently too busy this fall to prop
erly conserve the abundant moisture
that has fallen during the summer and
autumn months, a thing, by the way,
that should not be neglected. The eff
feet of deep blowing and thorough
cultivation shows up very distinctly
on the farms in Emmons county, for
although the crop is ogod in general
yet where proper attention was given
to making a good seed bed, the yield
will run ten bushels per acre above
fields given ordinary attention.
ITO conserve the moisture, the disc
or lister should follow the binder as
soon as possible, Immediately If con
venient, and the blowing should be
done as early as practicable and of
good depth. There is no reason why
q bumper crop should not be had again
next year and those who pay proper
attention to the conservation of mois-
ture will, doubtless, enjoy another
profitable crop.
THE old timers down there, those
who stayed by the county from the
beginning are all now in good finan-
cial circumstances.
Mrs. Worst was especially pleased
with her visit as it is the first time
she has made a general visit in nearly
eighteen years"

REVEREND LONG
and BULL MOOSE

Even the nature faker will turn!
Rev. William J. Long, first and per-
manent president Of the oyster Bay
Ananias club. defames the bull moose
both as a beast and as a plain poIit-
ical emblem.
Mr.. Long will ever be remembered
as the clergyman who invoked the
Theodore vocabulary upon his devoted
head because he told how a wolf killed
a caribou fawn. In his retreat at
Stamford, Conn, Mr.. Long has suffer-
ed in comparative silence these seven
years, but now he bursts out with a
paen of joy.
With the help of numerous extracts
for a book entitled The Wilderness
Hunter. written by Roosevelt, years
and years ago, he has written some
things. For instance:
The bull moose lives on the public
domain and Is a very wasteful feeder.
II Is Of a wandering and Eighty
disposition, His flesh, moreover. is
coarse and stringy; his hide is thick
and of very poor quality as r.
Roosevelt says and he ought to know.
The bull moose has fed on public
property so long that he considers it
all rightfuly his.
I'm many ways the bull moose shows
symptoms of emotional fits and of a
~disordered intellect. AS T.. Roosevelt
say Up. 229): He frequently shows
a clumsy slowness of apprehension
which amounts to downright stupid
ity.' The leader who adopts the bull
moose as his emblem, therefore, should
be wary of talking too much, knowing
that words are remembered, or of
writing confidential letters that are
almost certain to be purchased by the
newspapers.
Another noticeable characteristic
of the bull moose is his inordinate and
Interchangeable ~selfishness. Whether
roaming the woods in solitude, or
tearing up the earth, or coming head
long to the call, he is thinking first,
last and all the time, OF the safety of
his skin and the fuIness of his
own stomach. I never yet saw a bull
moose do q thing for anybody but him
self. He IL the incarnation Of self in
terest.
He cannot tolerate q rival, but aies
into a rage at the first suggestion that
there is any other bull moose in the
universe"

Man From Texas,

Football practice at the high school

direction of Coach Mclean. There
have not been as many out as was ex-
pected but more are coming out each
night and there are now enough for

to be the mainstay Of this years team.
on account OF his not coming back,
there VIII be a meeting Of the squad
tonight for the purpose Of electing a
captain to fill Nesbit's place.
Ralph Twrifford, captain and half

The Theatres
Fargo opsrahous
Sept. 1.-THE Woman.
Sept. 19-Sheehan Opera Co.

Using the insurgent movement in
congress as a background, William G.
deMille in The Woman has written a
play full of gripping interest, which
created a sensation in New York n
Chicago last season. The genius of
David Belasco, the great master of the
stage, has made the play one of the
most interesting theatrical productions
in recent years. The story is of in
tense interest, dealing with a theme Of
unusual strength, the loyalty of wom-
an to woman. The characters are all
real men and women and the story
while simple and straightforward, is
full of surprises holding the interest
In a manner unusual in modern
dramas. To say that the production
is worthy of Mr.. Belasco's genius is
to say all that can be said. This un-
usual play will be the attraction at the
Fargo operahouse Monday evening
with a powerful Belasco cast, includ-
ing James Seeley, Hugh Dillman,
Marian Barney, Hardee Kirkland,
Howell Hansell. Hallett Thompson,
Homer Granville, Peter Raymond,
Kalman Matus, Frank Austin, Kurt
Kupfer, Austin Webb and Marjorie
Wood. ...- .-.

Tho Isle o,preams.

Chauncey Olcott and his excellent
company appeared here last night in
The Isle O'Dreams. The play is ne
of the best in which the well known
actor has ever been seen here and 1t
gives him ample opportunity to dis
play his remarkable talents. Mr.. Oh
colt has a number of vocal selections
during the play, not forgetting his old
time favorite. My Wild Irish Rose.
While Mr.. olcott's dramatic art ap-
pears to have increased, unfortunately
the same cannot be said of his sing
ing. His notes are still sweet in the
lower register, but when he ~endeavors
to reach the higher notes the wreck
of the once great voice is very ap-
parent and the effect painful.
Last nights production was elegant
Iy staged and the scenic effects were
decidedly attractive. The supporting
company was all that ould be asked.

Keep Unmuzzled Dogs
From Rock Creek Park

Policemen doing duty in and about
Rock Creek Park now are busy watch
ing for unmuzzled dogs that might at
tempt to go into the grounds to hunt
and destroy bird nests on and near the
grounds. Heretofore 1t has been against
the Park Commissions rule for dogs
unmuzzled to go in the park beyond
Military road. A rule, adopted by the
Park Commission, and which has been
approved by the District Commissioners,
extends the territory to take in the en-
tife park, it being pointed out that stray
dogs do their greatest damage in breaks
inG up bird nests north of Military road.
Unmuzzled dogs have broken UP over
100 nests of partridges. wild turkeys and
other game birds that build their homes
on and near the ground, and II Is for
this one reason the new rule has been
adopted.
