ELECTION
l.. E. GATES SEEKS TO- GAIN OF.
FICE OF CITY TREASURER AT
MOHALL FROM WEBER.

Another contest has grown out Of
the recent city election at Mohall, L.
E. Gates having instituted an action
against H. P. Weber over the Office Of
city treasurer. 1t appears that Gates
received So votes, one Of the ballots,
however, containing both Gates and
Weber's names. The ballot was de-
clared invalid, this giving him Sc
votes, the same as Weber had been
credited with. Weber was declared
elected, however, on the tie vote.
Weber contends, however, that he had
a majority of five votes, or a total Of
81 instead Of So, claiming that six
votes which should have been counted
were declared invalid by the election
board. He has retained former States
Attorney John SWenson of Mohall and
Dudley L. Nash Of this city to repre-
sent him.
Messrs. Swenson and Nash are rep
resenting the plaintiffs in three other
contests which have been instituted
in connection with the same election,
the contestants in these cases having
been defeated in the action of the
election board in ruling out the six
ballots.

late CROPS PLANTED
IN NORTH DAKOTA
PROF. THOMAS SHAW TELLS OF
CROPS THAT MAY BE PLANT:
ED LATE AND STILL HAVE
GOOD RETURNS - URGES A
LARGER ACREAGE OF LATE
CROPS.

Prof. Thomas Shaw, one of the
best known agricultural experts in the
northwest, discussing good crops for
the late spring, says:
"In North Dakota the season for
sowing is abnormally late, owing in
part to the late coming of spring, in.
part to the wet condition of much Of
the land when spring opened, and in
part to the very small per centage
of the land that was plowed last au-
tumn. Even with favorable weather
the sowing of grain will be unusually
late, which means that such sowing
will be attended with more or less of;
hazard to the grain crop, even though
the season should prove unfavorabie;
which is a possibility, the sowing Of.
grain late would be attended with
great loss. $3.50.
"Why should the farmer incur,
such hazard? While there is a time
for sowing and planting beyond which
hazard comes to the crop, fortunately
that time varies much with different
crops. Why then would it not be q
wise plan to lessen the area Of these.
crops that cannot be sown or planted
in seasonable time, and increase the
area ..of those crops that come later
and that therefore may be sown in
season? Of the crops that must be
sown early usually if they are to do
well are wheat, spring rye, peas, and
speltz; of those that come a little lat
er are oats and barley. Those which
come still later include flax, corn,
beans and millet. Would it not be
the part of wisdom, therefore, to re-
strict the area sown to wheat and the
other early crops named, and. to in
crease the area of the late sown
crops?
"Flax may be sown much later than
wheat and yet be in season. While
it is usually hazardous to sow wheat
much after the end Of April, flax may
be sown with safety up to the end Of
May. The sowing may even extend
a few days into June, but not beyond
that lest the grain may not ripen.
Why then should not this be flax
year? The seed is not dear. It is
when seed is very dear that men
should go slow with reference to the
acreage that they will sow. &.
Barley also may be sown quite
late, even into the first days Of June.
The yield will usually be less than
from early sown barley, still it may
be- at least fair. Sowing it thus late
will render substantial aid in the bat
tie against weeds. Why should not
this be a barley year?
Corn may be safely planted up
to the end of May. Seed Is easily OBJ
tainable the present season and the
quality is much ahead Of what it was
in 1912. Why not make this corn
year in North Dakota I. Why not
plant large areas Of corn to provide
fodder and large areas also Of small
growing varieties on which to fatten
swine in the autumn, the swine har-
vesting the corn? In this way large
areas of the land would be cleaned
as result Of the cultivation given the
corn. The moisture also would be

CHIEF EVENT OF THE DAY
Pacing Of tho MIX Train, Not Charge of Bull, Caused Young Farm
 er's Haste.

Tn rural New England the passing of a railway train Is still matter of public interest quite astonishing to visitors from the city. Last summer three ladies from Boston hired an abandoned farmhouse In northern New England. in region devoted to dairying. One warm August day they walked through the rocky pastures to farmhouse three miles distant. in quest of a two weeks supply of butter.
 On learning that they had come through the fields. the farmers wife exclaimed: .'Why, you can't bo back that way alone! Our bulls out there in the back lot. and only day fore yist'day he treed my sonin-law on stun for two hours. I'll have him go home with you"
 With some misgivings on the part of the women, the little procession started back under the guidance o. the you.lg man. the ladies carrying the butter. All went we'll till they had gone about quarter of mile. when the escort suddenly called. ex- citedly: Come on." and started on run toward higher ground
 Thinking that they understood the occasion of his activity, they needec no urging to follow him. On and nc they sped, throwing away their bat ter as an impeachment to their speed. Finally. bathed in precipitation and gasping for breath, they sank ex- hausted on rocky ledge whither their guide had led them.
 Standing just above, he waved his arm in a dramatic gesture toward the valley below, where freight train could be seen crawling slowly out from between cleft in the hills. and shouted: There she goes--the mLa rain!"@Youth's Companion

A. G. ALIENS BIG MINISTRIES

A. G. Aliens big minstrels gave a performance in their canvass theater at the corner of Fourth and Court streets last night The tent was packed and many were turned away because there was no more room. The idea of presenting minstrel per formance under canvass is quite orig inal, and judging from the crowd last night, we judge that it is paying venture. The tent is arranged with stage scenery and curtains the same as an opera house.
 The performance, as whole, was meritorious. The sayings and gags were all very good, as we'll as the choruses, ballads and other singing. The orchestra was also good. In the olio, the male electrical dance, the Black Eighth Regiment" the ter psichorean artists and "Pastimes of the Levee" were amusing, and the farce presented as finale was highly ludicrous and mirth- provoking piece of extravagazce.- Memphis Commercial Appeal.

HOLDS COMMISSIONER
 ENTITLED TO OFFICE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ALSO SAYS DAVIS SHOULD EN-
 FORGE BLUE SKY LAW.

Little Rock, Sept. 9.-One of the first opinions given by Attorney Gen. eral w. L. Moose upon his return from his vacation was that requested by John M Davis, the state bank commissioner, relative to the date when the term of his office begins, and his duty with reference to the en- forcenent of the blue sky law.
 Judge Moose holds that while the banking act does not become effective until January 1. 1914, it is provided that the governor. may appoint a con- missioner whose office shall begin on the first of September, 1914, and that this is perfectly valid, and "there was probably good reason for the delay"
 "The commissioner will need to in- form himself as to the duties required of him." says Judge Moose, provide himself with offices and furniture and necessary blanks, and thereby quali- fy himself to become active under the law when it becomes effective ]; and there were equally good reasons why the banks of the state should be given until January 1, 1914, to con- form to the provisions of the act"
 With reference to the blue sky law, the act provides that "the duties de- volving upon the insurance commis- sioner, under this act shall automat- icalW pass to and become part of the duties of the bank commissioner whenever that office shall be created '
