WHEAT GERmlRATloNl !.
Large Cent of Kesnels Of Late
Thresl,ed Wheat D6 Not
u, Germinate.

A. F. Borchert, the better farming
expert for stutsman county, has
been making a test for the germina-
tion Of wheat which has been thresh-
ed late this year. One test made
shows that not over 20 per cent OF
the kernels terminated. The grain
was threshed after the fall rains,
and 1t is believed that the wet
weather may have impaired the ger
minating qualities OF the seed. Mr..
Borchert suggests that farmers, dur
ing the coming winter, make pretty
careful tests Of their seed grain be-
fore sowing it next spring. f
Mr.. Borchert has secured samples
of alfalfa grown in different parts
of the county under different con-
ditions, and he is we'll satisfied that
with the proper care at the start, al
falfa can be grown on every farm
and become a very valuable asset.
"A root Of alfalfa. showing the nu-
merous and thrifty stems and
branches with small portion of the
long root, was taken from the E. NJ.
Reardon place north Of Medina. Mr..
Reardon has had a small patch Of
alfalfa growing for the past ten
years. and says that sheep will wait
for the alfalfa to leave out in order
to pasture upon It, and afterwards
two crops. have been cut from the
same held. $l; .s.5
A root OF the same plant was also
secured from the A. A. Dahle farm
southeast Of Montpelier. This crop
was found growing with timothy
and although the plants are not nu-
merous they are thrifty. Mr. Bor-
ebert says that It To- necessary to
|shave bacteria IN the soil fof the
proper growth of alfalfa. and that IT
has been found that there is more
bacteria In new land than old. II

TIMELY CHRISTMAS WARNING.

Fire insurance companies are
sending out warnings for stores,
churches, homes and bazaars, in the
matter of dangerous Christmss dec
orations. Light, infammable deco
rations make fires easy to start and
spread. Z,
Christmas candles annually cost
the lives of many children. Deco
rations Of trees with paper and cot
ton, and carelessness in allowing
children to play with lighted can
dies or matches around such deco
5rations, have resulted in turning
many,a home of merriment into .

The report has gained circulation

So cents per year for each boy and

idea is erroneous and. the assump-

amount is expended by this state

I B AS the cigars were passed, Mayor
Pierce Blewett, who presided, arose,
and in brief address heartily well
coined the promoters of the Midland
Continental railway, stating that the
occasion celebrated the advent Of

event awaited by the residents for
80 years, and he also welcomed that
enthusiastic bunch of boosters from
Engeley.oe
[33s Honorable Alfred Steel OF James
town, one of the first in this city to
cooperate with the Midland build
ers, stated that the material wealth
and prosperity, and the educational
uplift Of this state were due in a
large measure to the building and
separating OF railroads; that the FIRST
passenger locomotive in this coun-
try running between Charleston and
Hamburg, SEE, in 1880, was called
EssThe Best Friend, = and he believed
E|thes'nsw raifr would prove one, OF
the best friends Of jamestown, Edge
ley, and the farmers living between
the two cities. The kindliest feel
ing towards, the new road is enjoy
ed, and he added while that first To-
comotive, The Best Friend, was
accidentally destroyed when the me-
gro fireman attempting to, avoid a
wreck, sat down upon the safety
valve and expired with the engine,
he hoped that no one would sit upon
the safety valve of the Midland Con-
tinental and that the entire project,
a north and south line between Win
|nipeg and Galveston, would be real
lied.
Hon. G. H. shiels Of Edgeley was
next introduced by Mayor Blewett
and the LaMoure county represen-
tative assured the Midland stock
holders and residents OF jamestown
of Edgeley's hearty cooperation
also in the support Of the new road,
and spoke enthusiastically Of the

Washington, D. C., July 9.-Charles D.

Reynolds, of Massa- chuseits. former assistant secretary of the treasury, and present member of the Tariff Board, was made secretary.
 The selection of MT. Hilles was made by the unanimous vote of the organization committee of the nation- ai committee which has been in ses- sion for two days and following a second conference with the president this morning.
 Following his election, MT. Hilles was called into the meeting of the committee and his advice sought re- garding the designation of other of ticials.

Washington, July 9.-A nationwide petition to President Taft 10 with draw as the Republican presidential candidate is being backed by large number of Republican officenolders, who feel that they face defeat in No vember unless the breach ill the party can be healed.
 These men include members of Congress, members of the State Leg islatures which will elect senators, state and county otficeholdars and party candidates. If the movement to petition MT. Taft to withdraw suc- ceeds in gaining volume, it is said these same men ill the interest of par ty harmony, may ask Colonel Roose- welt also to withdraw as prospective candidate for an independent nomina- tion and permit a compromise selec- 'ion of some man agreeable to both factions of the party It is the de sire tf ille promoters G. she scheme that a decls.on shall be reachcG before hu- Eust when the 2ors3vnlt faction |. a-s hold Il ccnfS~ ~r.., 10 { hies %
 The circulation O. petitions. it was declared today, would start within a week It was said the movement would begin spontaneously in every s'ate The organizers now are circulating blank forms of petitions and appo'n;- ing supervisors, who in turn will cli- gage eanvassers to solicit the sigEa- lures of Republicans. The authors of the plan expect to offer to practically every Republican voter in the United States chance to express his opinion of Mir. Taft's candidacy.
 The movement is in the hands of several well-knoWn members of con- gress. They are being aided by many of the extreme Roosevelt Republicans. The enlistment of the National Pro gressive organization in the move ment has been sought, and it was stated in the day that Senator DlXons organization was willing to cooper ate.
 Information that the petitions were to be put before the voters leaked out in the day. No particular person is authority for the statement and members of Congress concerned were unwilling to stand sponsors for it un- til the movement was under way
 In the circulation of the antl-Taft petitions an effort will be made to get them signed by organization Re- publicans and others who have stood with the president, as well as by cltl- zens who have occupied neutral ground There will be no special ef- fort made to get Progressive Repub- lican signatures, as it is believed that to confine the petitions to that faction would encompass the defeat Of the movement

The four act western comedy drama 'sT'ae Tanderfoct," drew a very good Tuesday night house at the Elks Theatre. They play itself was nor of the blood and thunder or der but clear cut, up-to-date story cf western life, being perfectly natu- ral in all points. Mir. Bessey as Val Brandon leading roll made more than good and proved himself very popu- lar with the audience, getting a big reception on his entrance in the first act. Miss Nell Paul as Julia Bar nett" gave him excellent support
 also establish ng herself as one of the best stock leading womem seen here in years. The company through. out were well cast and gave an eX- cellent performance. The specialties between acts headed by Raven Brap
 don furnished a great portion of the evenings entertainment, being one of the bess vaudeville acts of it's kind seen in Pine Bluff for long time. No doubt this company will play to capacity business during the weeks engagements here, as they are giv- ing a big show for the money. For tonight Mir. Beslsey announced the four act pastorial drama, "The Sins of the Father" This should net be confused with Thomas Dinon's play of the same name, for it is an en- tirely different production. New spec ialties will be produced between acts.
