MOVE CARS FAST
ORDER OF AGENTS

Move cars and that quickly, is the
keynote Of all communications sent
III by railroad general agents to their
local agents this year. The roads of
the northwest contend that they have
sufficient motive power and plenty Of
rolling stock to handle their business
If the shippers do not loaf on their
jobs of loading and receivers IN turn
do not daily in unloading. Therefore.
haste is urged and insisted upon. The
roads claim that there is always a
disposition among dealers in the coun-
try towns, for instance, to delay or
Gering coal or other commodities un-
til the situation becomes tense and
then order in a hurry, causing a con-
gestion of cars and delaying business
In general besides needlessly tying up
equipment. Vigorous methods are
demanded of local agents and they
are being punched UP by their chiefs.
The following circular letter to agents
and "all concerned" from one road is
a fair example Of what is being sent
out:
Promptness Urged.
ION account of the large grain
crop and the consequent heavy move
ment of coal, lumber and other corn
modities this season, it is important
that all concerned should appreciate
the necessity of loading, unloading
and releasing cars as promptly as
possible.
We have provided ample equip
ment to handle the business in sight
If offered at a reasonable time and
not punched,
"The ~so-called car shortage is
seldom the result of an actual short
age of equipment needed to move the
business, but is invariably caused by
punching the movement, delays in
loading, unloading and releasing cars.
and shortage of storage facilities for
coal, lumber, grain n other heavy
commodities.

shippers and consignees at your sta

with them. and request their co-ope--

CLAY COUNTY
AT The FAIR
SENATOR MARpEN PROUD OF
EXHIBIT AND SAYS IT LINES
UP WELL in COMPARISON TO
THE OTHER COUNTIES OF THE
STATE.

Senator Marden returns from the
state fair full Of enthusiasm for the
Clay county exhibit of grains, grasses
and general products. Mr.. Marden
said: while Clay county's exhibit
is not quite, as fussy in general ar
rangement as some of the other coun-
ty. exhibits, of which there are over
seventy, l cannot help but think that
our showing lines up well In compari-
son with many others and that we ex-
eel along : some lines in the excel
lent showing of products. In grains
and grasses we are there with big
G's and If real merit goes for any
thing Clay ought to come out with
some honors. The little time l spent
at the booth, which is No. 81, / took
careful note and. l could see some
things in the exhibit served as a mag
net to attract the hundreds of dis
eliminating ones. The exhibit Is one
of the attractions in that department
Of the fair and Messrs. Fountain, Bod
kin, Young and McCauley have done
well. There is q big crowd at the
fair and I am proud that Clay
ty is in the game"
The review of the county exhibits
by The Minneapolis Journal, yester-
day, that paper had his to say after
a visit to the Clay county booth:
Clay County.
Henry Schroeder and his sons,
known as the potato kings, have
brought Clay county to the front as
a potato district. They expect to ship
something more than 100, 900 bushels
this year. P. F. Fountain of Hawley,
in charge Of the booth, Is confident
of winning prizes for the oats and
barley as well as for potatoes. The
soil which runs from one to eight
feet of rich black loan he declares
will produce anything, but potatoes
and the grains still bring wealth and
hence engage the attention Of the
~husbandmen. Many of the farmers
are setting out apple and other fruit
trees as a side line"
w. J. Bodkin returned from the
fair this morning he having some i'm
portant business to attend to. He
says the Clay county exhibit is promi-
nently located and he says there have
been many hundreds Of people been
attracted to the booth and he heard
many complimentary illusions to the
showings of grains and grasses. Mr..
Bodkin is urging hat a bunch Of
boosters go down. to Hamline to-
night as tomorrow the Holsteins will
be judged in the cattle classes and
among h more prominent herds of
this celebrated breed, is one shown by
Ed. c. Schroeder of Clay county. Mr..
Schroeder, who was in Moorhead to-
day said he was going down to the
fair tonight and Mr.. Bodkin said If
he could round up a party he thought
he could arrange his affairs and make
a second visit to the state fair. Mr..
Bodkin is urging Mr.. Huntoon to go
down tonight.

student doing his or her best from the

wear. With that spirit in force. the

SnoW'a Report.
Shows report for Sept. / makes
conditions Of corn S1.5 against Sill
Aug. /, and. on the basis OF his esti-
mate of acreage indicates a crop of
about 2,925, 900, 900 bushels. During
August there was material improve
ment in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana,
Kansas. Nebraska and South Dakota,
while there was some loss Of prospect
in Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and
Missouri or account of drouth. The
crop continues late and the. final re-
suit depends to an unusual extent up
on September weather. Winter wheat
threshing returns maintain early re-
suits, the average to date being 1874
bushels. The condition of spring
wheat at time of harvest Is reported
at 9.6 against 90.2 on Aug. 1. A con-
siderable amount of threshing has
been done over the whole belt and the
average yield reported up to Sept. 1
Is 1863 bushels, or two bushels per
acre above the figure indicated by the
conditional figures last month. II
this rate is maintained in later
threshing it will produce a crop Of
325, 100000 bushels, of which 262, 000,-
900 bushels Is in Minnesota and the
Dakotas. In spite Of some wet weather
injury, the quality OF spring wheat
is remarkably high. Threshing returns
for oats show a yield Of five bushels
per acre above that indicated by the
condition figures on Aug. /, and 3s.5
bushels break all crop records. Yields
are above earlier indications in every
state and almost in every county
where oats are grown. The total crop
is reported at 1922, 900, 900 bushels, and
except as stained by rain while in the
shock, the quality Is much above

having a hard time getting stand.
Clark Walters and wife, of near
Leon, spent Sunday with Mrs. WAL
ters' parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. B.
Hardinger.
News scarce this week; everybody
busy with farming duties.
From the advertising sent out it
seems that Leon is going to have a
better Chautauqua than ever. Ev-
erybody should attend those oc-
casions for both information as well
as pleasure can be learned.
