would follow. One was to the effect
that the Northwestern would run its
train out of Huron, South Dakota,
thence north, via Aberdeen, Oakes
and Jamestown, r. the main line OF
the Northern Pacific where it would

is the more likely, is to the effect that

Three Months-Trlp Was for Purely
Business Purposes. !

Rt. Rev. Vincent Wehrle, o. s. b.,
bishop OF the Bismarck diocese of the
Roman Catholic church, returned to
the See City the latter part of the
week after q hurried Journey to
Europe, where he went on a purely
business mission connected with af-
fairs pertaining to the welfare of the

New York to Southampton via the
North German Lloyd lines. From
there he went TO- Cherbourg, France.

Switzerland He visited many Of the
principal cities of these countries.
and also spent some time in his old

Switzerland, he secured eight Sisters
of the Holy Cross, who accompanied
him back to North Dakota. Six Of
them winl go to the new hospital at
Dickinson and two will teach in the
parochial schools Next fall az many
Of the sisters az are needed here will
come over for service at Dickinson.
At Innsbruck, TyroL and other points
he visited, he made arrangements for
securing students for the diocese.

!
The wheat joint worm made its
in some fields this year,
but the damage inflicted was very
slight. Where the. pests appeared
this ii year it will probably be well to
burn the stubble, as the larvae, ARE
nearly always found low enough in
the straw SO that they remain in the
stubble. Crop rotation usually is
sufficient to keep such insects in
check. Some of our readers have
evidently mistaken the joint worm
ny for the Hessian fly, as we have re.
ceived specimens of the former stat.
Ing that they were Hessian flies. The
latter is much more harmful pest
and its annual depredations are esti
mated at 50,000,O0O bushels. The Hes
sian fly is fortunately not common in
our territory.
