Of settling these disputes claim that
the statistics do not show the advance
which this movement has made, and
the compilers of the report admit that
in many cases this method had been
adopted before a strike or lockout &C.
Cured. Less than 2 per cent were
settled by this method. while about
u per cent of all strikes and lockouts
were adjusted by resort to the joint
agreement.
That a number of these strikes
were of minor Importance is shown
by the fact that the average duration
of them per establishment was only
% days, though the lockouts extended
on an average of 81 days. Building
trades workers were apparently the
most dissatisfied, as they caused 20
per cent of all the strikes ordered.

To an ever-increasing extent the

with every increase in wages there
comes an increase in their ability and

can best be stimulated by increased

The new creamery at Pettibone was
opened on Saturday last and the oc-
casion was the means of drawing q
large crowd. The creamery cost

cry will fill long felt want In this
part Of the state, as the region is
rapidly becoming, dairy country.
Gov. Hanna and State Dairy Commis-
sioner Flint Of Bismarck were pres
ent, and a picnic dinner was served
in large pavilion. William Siege
of Medina. proprietor Of creamery,
was also present and spoke on the oc-
casion. Gov. Hanna was given q
hearty welcome. and his remarks
were listened to attentively by over
$50 persons. The new creamery starts
out with the assurance Of doing 9

WILL STERILIZE PATIENTS
AT STATE INSANE ASYLUM
Effort Made to Prevent Increase OF
Public Charges-SOme Start
ling Statistics.

The board of control of state in
stitutions at their recent meeting,
appointed DR.. R. G. DePuy a men,
Der of the board of examiners of the
state hospital for the insane, in mat
ters pertaining to the sterilization of
the insane. Heredity is the most
important factor in the increase of
insanity at the present time, and
through the efforts of Supt. Hotch-
kiss Of the state hospital, a bill for
the sterilization of detectives was
passed by the last legislature, one
of the best far reaching laws passed.
Hereafter all patients who are pa
rolled or discharged from the state
hospital, in whom the possibility of
procreation is evident, shall be sub
ject to the simple operation of vasec-
tony, which will prevent the prop
agation of their kind. In the state
hospital at the present time are five
members of one family who are
blessed CD with forty-three chill
dren, half of whom are married.
There is every reason to believe that
theseS children and their children's
children will eventually become pub
lie charges, and in this manner is
insanity increased with such alarm
ing rapidity. There are in the Uni
ted States today approximately 6O0,-
900 insane, and it costs in the aggre-
gate $200,OO0,O00 year to care for
them. There are nearly 100000
feeble minded in the United States
of whom only $4,000 are under pub
lie charge. The greatest menace of
today is the feeble minded girl, and
greater provision should be made
for their care. No feeble minded
boy nor any feeble minded girl un-
der the child bearing age should be-
taken care of until all feeble mind
ed girls of child bearing age are seq
regated and sterilized. Authentic
statistics show that from the. union
of two such persons, sos descend.
ants have become public charges in
Is years. Approximate figures
holding good for insane. 1t is to
overcome this possibility that the
sterilization bill was passed, and it's
enforcement should be welcomed by
all thinking people.

WORLD CIRCLlNG TOURIST
ARRIVES HERE ON TIME
John Henry Mears Greets jamestown
People From No. 2.

John Henry Mears, the globe trot-
ter who is making good at beating
the round the world record hereto
fore held by Frenchman, of 80 days
and 19 hours, was passenger on N.
p. train No. 2 Monday, arriving here
on time at 1928 and remaining five
minutes. He was met at the station
by goodly crowd of young people
and made, few remarks from the
steps of the dining car. He stated
that he was on time, and that If he
had no bad luck between jamestown
and Chicago, would complete the cir
cult of the globe in 35 days. and 21
hours, the shortest time ever made
in going around the earth. He is due
in New York city at 10 p. m. We'd
nesday night.
Mr.. Mears said that the N. p. COM
pany had been very kind to him. No.
2 was held at Seattle for two hours
for him to catch the train. After ar
riving at Victoria from the Pacific
ocean trip, he travelled part way down
the Puget Sound to Seattle by hydro
aeroplane. No. 2 had made up the
delay by the time the train reached
Livingston.
At Mandan the band Of the state
reform school assembled at the sta
tion to meet him. While here Mr..
Mears was asked many questions re-
garding his trip, but had little time
to answer them. The story of his
rapid fire travelling is being printed
in the New York Sun, and other east
ern papers.
At the station the tourist shook
hands with couple of young ladies,
and was pleased at the interest mani
tested by the crowd, although the
hour was late. He also remarked
that at station further west a young
lady had offered to kiss him, but none
of the girls present took the hint.
Is. H. ]. Titus Of the Northern Pa
CHIC accompanied Mr.. Mearsr over the
IN. p. line. On arrival at Victoria,
b. c., Mr.. Mears was detained by a
heavy fog. On his trip to Yokohama
he travelled through Corea. His trip
across the Pacific was uneventful, but
was shortened by the new fast G. P.
R. steamer, the Empress of Russia.
It was this shortening of time on the
Pacific which enabled Mears to beat
the record.

JERSEY COWS FROM
ISLE OF JERSEY
Herd of Beautiful Animals EnrOute
to Oregon.

An express car containing thirty
thoroughbred Jersey cattle direct
from the island of Jersey, between
England and France, was on No. 8
Tuesday. The car was enroute to Soap
poose, Ore. The car also contained
one thoroughbred Jersey bull and
two young calves, born in quarantine
in New York. The owner of the cat
tie was H. West, an old time resident
of Oregon, who went to the island of
Jersey for this herd of original Jer-
sey cows, and is accompanying them
to his home. He stated that all the
cattle came through without any &C
cident, and that when they reach
their destination each animal will
have cost about $500. They are all
pedigreed stock, and are intended for
breeding up herds in Oregon.
A mixture of Jersey blood with
other breeds is a great improvement
in the richness of milk. The animals
were beautiful specimens of the pure
bred Jersey, whose fame as pets of
the dairy and as giving the richest
of milk, is worldwide.
The island from which they came
has only about As square miles of
area, and is eleven miles long and
about six miles wide. Mr.. West stat
ed that no other breed Of cattle is al
lowed on the island than the Jersey,
which is also called the Alderney,
and the strain is kept pure by strin-
gent laws against the importation of
foreign animals. The milk is used
almost exclusively for butter, and
great care in breeding is taken to Sc
tlect the best types Of animals. BY
changing from one portion of the
island to another, and careful selec-
ton, deterioration Of the breed 10
prevented. It is remarkable that .
breed Of cattle from such small re-
gion should retain q vigor and excel
lent qualities through 30 many years,
which can only be accounted for, said
Mr.. West, by careful attention to the
breeding.

u, s, DAIRY EXPERT
IS Sent TO n. D.
TO ASSIST STATE DAIRY DE-
PARTMENT IN THE EREC-
TION OF sILOs.

Bismarck, Aug. flames NJ. Sher-
man, federal dairy expert, has been
detailed to assist the state dairy de-
partment in the erection of silos for
two months. Mr.. Sherman reported
for duty August 1, and will be prop
erly initiated to North Dakota con-
ditions by Robert C. Jackson, fed
eral dairyman, cooperating in Walsh
and Pembina counties. NJ
Commissioner Flint is greatly
pleased to receive this assistance, as
it is an Acknowledgement from fed
eral authorities of the practicability
Of the silo aid policy Of the state de-
partment, even though some of the
members OF the state legislature con-
sidered the demand for assistance
along this line was purely scheme
to provide positions for politicians. +"
In Barnes county alone there have
been erected this season eight silos
under the supervision of the state
dairymen, and several others are
either under construction, or will be
in time to be filled this year.
A 1OO-ton silo was erected on the
farm of Governor Hanna, near Cour-
tenay, and assistance is also to be
given on one of similar capacity at
the agricultural college. One of con-
siderably larger proportions has been
erected by the landlord of the Ru-
dolf hotel, near Valley City, and
Landlord Patterson of the Mckenzie
at Bismarck, will begin shortly.
The practicability Of the monolith-
ic concrete silo Instructions given by
the state and federal dairymen is
best understood by those who have
been assisted.
In a number of. instances those
who erected ssilos last year have eth,
er built additional silos on their
farms this season or their forms have
been used by their neighbors 80 that
the aid given has been greatly ex-
tended.
Five silos have been erected near
Leal, Barnes county, this season. with
two forms.
The purpose of the silo aid is to
help farmers to erect an Efficient silo
at minimum of cost and enable the
storing of an abundance of low cost
food in a most palatable, digestible
form of milk production.
