FARMERS HAVE
=. LEARNED LESSON

". Steele. N. D., Sept. 3.-This town,
county, like many other business cen
tiers of the state, is not staying be-
hind in the march Of progress. Another
crop is being threshed in this locality,
and while the yield of wheat may not
exceed ten bushels to the acre the
farmers believe they will be able to
market their grain at an early season,
and as the wheat in this section will
grade high it will sell at the top prices,
and bring more to the farmer than for
several other years in the past.
The light yield in this section this
year has been attributed to the fact
that a great portion Of the wheat was
seeded in stubble land and the only
cultivation given it was that Of a disc.
This process Of farming in this vicin-
ity like 1t has in other sections of the
state this year will probably never be
repeated, and many say that it would
not have been INDUCED in this year
were it not for the fact that the ele-
ments last year prevented much of the
fall blowing from being finished. and
late spring this year did not permit Of
any blowing to speak of.
However, this year has proven to
the average NOTLu bakOLd FARMER CnaC
if he is to raise crops of grain he must
give the land a chance. The soil can
not be given too much cultivation if
the moisture is to be conserved, and
one Of the main objects the farmers
have this a in getting the grain re-
moved from the field at the earliest
opportunity is to permit of as much
early fall blowing as possible.
Threshing may be a trife later here
than it is in some sections of the state,
but there is no complaint because of a
shortage of labor and Kidder county
FARMERS have hopes Of having their
grain stored almost as early ais in 9TH
er parts Of the state.
Several improvements are being
made in Steele this summer in the way
Of new buildings, the foremost of which
is the three story modern schoolhouse
being erected by Contractor John Lar
son of Bismarck.

PLEASED
With FEDERATION

Tower City, N. D., Sept. 8. - At
separate meetings of the congrega-
tons of the different churches which
composed the federation here, q
Unanimous vote was taken to continue
the federation for another veal, the
past year., during which the arrange
ment was tried out, having been a
decided success, and the services of
Rev. F. Fl. Talbot has been secured for
another year.
Previous to this church federation
here, there were six ministers of the
different churches preaching to as
many congregations which numbered
as a whole only about $50 people. A
year ago it was proposed to establish
a federation of the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches having only one
pastor who would preach to the COM
bined congregations.
Rev. F. H. Talbot, a graduate of
Fargo college n year ago, vas asked
to accept the work and his success In
a very difficult position, is endorsed
by the action of the different churches
which decided to continue the fedora
ton and retain the services of MI.
Talbot.
One Of the features of the new
federation is the choral work being
done, the fame Of which has spread
over the surrounding county, and
which is directed personally by Mr..
Talbot.

swaIIows Bean and Dies.

Bowman, N. D., Sept. ga small
bean caught in an air passage caused
the death OF the son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Glen Howe, who live north Of Scran-
ton.
The little fellow was playing
around the yard of the home and
after coming in had a fit Of coughing
and acted as If something had caught
in his throat. The spell was soon
over and the little fellow went to
bed and slept until s O'Clock In the
morning. He then woke UP, being in
great pain.
The physician from Scranton was
called, but not being able to do any
thing, brought the child to Bowman
in his automobile. The physicians did
what they could for the sufferer, but
could not remove the obstruction in
the air passage. The parents thought
he had swallowed a piece of crock
cry, there being some small pieces
around the yard. A message was
sent to Dickinson for DR.. Bowen, but
he was recently injured, so could not
come. However, his partner came,
but the child passed away soon after
the physician arrived, and while pre-
parations were being made for an
operation.
An autopsy was held and 1t re-
yealed a small bean In the air pas
sage. The moisture had caused it to
expand until this passage was entirely
closed.

IVAN TILL VISITS
NORTH DAKOTA
GERMAN BARON STUDIES eco
NoMIc CONDITIONS HERE
AND IN MINNESOTA,

Minneapolis, Sept. 3.-Baron H.. w.
Van Till of The Hague, where only
four days ago the magnificent palace
of peace, built by Andrew Carnegie,
| was dedicated. came into Minneapolis
from the north, full of optimism over
the country he had seen n far less
enthusiastic over the results that may
be expected from the peace temple in
his home city. Baron Van Till was
out looking at the harvesters taking
in the crops of North Dakota, on the
day the temple was dedicated.
Peace begins in every mans home
event in The Hague, and is to be
viewed as q forward step in what is
in nature an evolutionary process.
But universal peace" the baron
spread his hands d~eprecatingly. 1--WE
shall have universal peace when every
nan has peace within himself. Ma
tons will disarm when every man dis
arms himself of hatred toward his
neighbor; not before"
Baron Van Till is the guest Of Pres
ident Pennington of the 500 line. He
is interested in economics and financ-
es of the northwest and has made a
close study Of the agricultural condi-
tons. But as to his mission in this
country, he had no definite statements
to make. He is familiar with the ex-
periences of settlers who came into
Minnesota last year and the year be-
fore from Netherlands, and has seen
Minnesota and North Dakota from
end to end.
II cannot say If there will be much
immigration from Holland to Mime
sota," he said, but whatever Holland
may contribute in that respect, will
be of a great benefit. The people are
industrious and thrifty"

new ROCKFORD HAS
BRIGHT FUTURE

New Rockford, N. D., Sept. 8. -
Located where it has but the limited
train service of the jamestown North
ern branch of the Northern Pacific
railroad until just recently has not
retarded the growth and progress or
New Rockford. There is probably no
town in the state where the citizens
and business men have worked to-
gether for the advancement of their
town than has been the case at
New Rockford until today as the re-
suit of their efforts the town is one
Of the most promising commercial
centers of North Dakota.
With the advent Of the Great
Northern railroad which has con-
structed one of the most substantial
lines of railroad in the state through
here New Rockford a made rapid
advancement, and more business
ventures and more people are moving
to New Rockford as fast as houses
and buildings can be erected to ac-
commodate them.
1t is said hat the Great Northern
road, has just decided to run all the
fast mail trains that heretofore have
passed through Grand Forks over this
new line, and the first preparation for
this undertaking will be the moving
of some seventy railroad mail clerks
to New Rockford who will live here
permanently. New Rockford is to be
made the division point, and there is
no doubt but what the town is destin-
ed to become one of the leading rail
road centers of the state. This new
route will greatly shorten the Great
Northern route to the Pacific coast.
The railroad is also making great
preparations for this move, and as a
result the south side Of the city is
being rapidly covered with substantial
railroad buildings. Already a large
round house has been erected. and lots
in this section of the city are being
sought for residence purposes.
The city is also showing signs of
advancement in every quarter. A
large sewer system is under course OF
construction, and a white way light
ing system is being talked of. New
Rockford already has a well equipped
lighting plant and there is also a good
water supply here. Modern buildings
are numerous all Over the city, and the
citizens has shown nc small amount
of pride in the handsome homes they
have provided.
The fact that Eddy county Of which
New Rockford is the county seat has
been awarded the first prize for the
first two years the state exposition
has been held at Bismarck is evidence
of what this county can produce for
the farmer. While there is no effort
here this year to have a county ex-
hibit at Bismarck this year it Is not
because the crops the past eason do
not warrant. The citizens claim they
have had so many local ventures to
contend with the past year that there
is no opportunity to prepare for the
industrial exposition, neither is there
any n who seems to have the dis
position to undertake the task OF hav-
ing the county properly represented.
ALTHOUGH the county is threshing
under Roadway. The crop of grain
nay not be as heavy a yield as last
year but the wheat especially is of fine
quality, and business men here are
preparing for an unusually active fall
trade, as are other towns in this Sec
ton of North Dakota.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
JAMES VALLEY
HAS GOOD CROP

jamestown, N. D., Sept. S.--Labor-
ers, when they leave the congested
cities In search of the harvest fields,
are seldom mistaken as to where the

and the fact that jamestown seems

lief that there can be no better crop
than up the James river valley, where

MINO7'S recall
MIGHT SUCCEED

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 3.-The
recall proceedings instituted against
Nehemiah Davis, president of the
Minot city commission and E. S.
Shaw, police commissioner, may re-
suit in The removal of both officials
from office, in the opinion of r. A.
Nestos, states attorney of Ward
county who is in Grand Forks.
Mr.. Nestos pointed out that Davis
and Shaw represented two factions of
the residents of the magic city which
are bitterly opposed to each other.
This being the case it is probable
that the Davis faction will unite with
the socialists to force Shaw out Of Of
flee, while the Shaw followers may
follow the same course of action as
regards Davis. g., -
Expects Lynch to Stay.
. There is little chance of the recall
proceedings against John Lynch,
police magistrate succeeding, in the
opinion of Mr.. Nestos, as Judge Lynch
is generally popular with all elements
with the exception of the socialists.
/ The citizens may also recall Dewey
Dorman, the socialist street commits
sioner who was arrested in the recent
riots, Mr.. Nestos believes.
Has Strengthened Socialists.
Mr.. Nestos says hal, the recent
trouble has tended to increase rather
than diminish the strength of the Mi
not socialists. While most of the citi-
zens are more opposed to the social
lists than ever, many railroad men,
and others have been drawn into the
ranks of the party.
The riots have had the effect of
crystallizing the sentiments of many
who were previously neutral.
Mr.. Nestos is on his way back To
Minot from a fishing trip in northern
Minnesota. He was to continue his
journey last night.
