as early as possible that the trips may
be so arranged that three or four Ia

been completed for ladies' night on
Thursday evening, but as the supper

All Sections Of the State Bring
Same Report

Visitors in the city this week who
attend the festivities of the Masonic
Home coming and the I. 90. f. grand
lodge report that the crops in all parts
Of the state are in excellent condition.
Up around Grand Forks the
prospects for bumper crops never
looked better. There has been plenty
Of rain in the northern part of the Red
river valley and both corn, which is
just beginning to come up, and the
smaller grains look in excellent con-
ditlon.
In the western part Of the state and
out on the slope the, condition of the
grain Is very favorable. There has not
been a great amount of rain. but re-
ports say that nothing is suffering as
yet. ssA
Down around Lennon, in the south
western part Of the state, and along
the line east of there, the crops are re-
ported to look the best that they have
In years. People travelling to Fargo
from out In that part Of the state were
very enthusiastic over the crop pros
poets.
A visitor from Lisbon has the same
enthusiastic report from out in the
southeastern portion OF the state
From Darlington and Langdon, from
Minot and Mandan visitors in the city
all seem to be unanimous in giving
favorable crops reports.

New York, June 3.--Judge Elbert III.
Gary. chairman Of the United States
steel Corporation, when questioned on
the general subject of pools at the
continuation OF the hearings in the
government dissolution suit. said his
attention was first called to the Ameri-
can Steel & Wire Co.'s participation
in the so-called Jackson Pool, by a
man who came to him in 1908 and
demanded a job because he knew the
wire company was in the pool q
ordered an investigation and found it
true,' said the witness. "and i'm
mediately ordered the wire company
to withdraw Y
Gary denied that there was any
other price fixing or percentage divi-
sion of the output among the steel
manufacturers since 1904, although
previous to that, he said, oral agree
rnents had been entered into with re-
gard to some products. The steel
Corporation was organized In 1901.

Fargo VIII Be Kept Absolutely Clean J.

Health affairs of the city were up
for discussion at the meeting of the
city commission and it has been de-
cided to begin the work at once to
see that the entire city is cleaned up.
Health Officer Scanlon made a re-
port that was very interesting. He
stated that Commissioners Emery and
Jordan accompanied him on a tour of
inspection Of different sections of the
city. He stated that the Second ward
was the worst place in the city and
particularly the alleys south of Front
street, and that these should and must
be attended to at once. ..
The law provides that wherever the
people who have been warned to clean
up have failed to do so, the city Of
ficials should do the. work and would
be charged up,tto the property, 1t was
distinctly st,sted at the meeting of the
city commission that this will be done,
and thoroughly, at once, for It is a
matter of necessity. ..-.. ...
DR.. Scanlon also reported that, with
the two commissioners he had visited

In looking for an explanation we find

equalize them with the free listing Of

Washington, June Ex-senator Gron-
ma Of North Dakota, the last witness
heard before the noon recess by the
special senate committee hunting for
a lobby" testified he was Interested
in farming and knew of no lobby. He
had never been approached improperly
regarding any legislation, he said.
Il don't believe there is any such

representing Minneapolis milling COM
panies, who presented arguments to
him supporting duty on flour.
Senator Penrose, who preceded
Gronna, told the committee that in his
sixteen years experience in Washing
ton, he had never known of any at
tempt to improperly influence mem
bers of congress. He gave the names
of IT'S persons who had called on him
since Jan. !, on the tariff, but declar-
ed none was lobbyist in the gem
eral acceptance of the term.
Washington, June 8. - The second
day of the senate probe for a lobby
began with approximately one-fifth
the total number of senators disposed
of. AT such a rate OF progress it
would take four days more to finish

Local naturalA ists and Woodsmen assert that this is the only instance on record where eoon is known to have overcome it's natural instincts to kill all featheref creatures Several months ago Say ter captured young coon that ,had been pulled down and injured by the t1Cgs. It soon became domestieated and became a great pet around the house. Sauter is also breeder of guinea fowl. which are prone to leave their nests and sit in the field and woodlands. Missing one several weeks ago Sauter traced her to the fields and secured ten of her eggs, which, as it proved. were within a days time of incubation. Not having an incuba- tor, Sauter put the eggs in the oven of his stove, and when they were matched he placed the chicks in box behind the stove He was greatly sur prised in the morning to find the coon in the box "mothering" them

HOW ONE MAY GROW TALL

A mans organs and those of his bones which are not subjected to pres sure grow continuously until he is forty years old; that is to say, the heart should become stronger, the capacity of the lungs increase, and the brain should develop steadily until the fourth decade of life. Also one should wear a larger hat at the age of forty than at thirty. A man ceases to grow tall however, at the beginning of the third decade, because after that time the downward pres sure eXerted by the weight of the body while in the erect position com presses the vertebrae or small bones in the spine, the discs of cartilage between them. the pelvis and the thigh bones, and this pressure over comes the natural elasticity of the discs and the growth of these bones. However, well-known scientist con tends that were man quadruped, and therefore freed from the down ward pressure produced by his weight upon his spinal column, he would continue to grow in height for ten years longer than he does at present, since it has been found that bones not subjected to compression increase up to the fourth decade.

PosToFFlcE AS DEFECTIVE

Detectives, lawyers, clerks and others often experience great difficulty in obtaining an undoubted specimen Of certain persons signature. In 1 one case recourse had to be had to a marriage register; in another the only 1 signature procurable was on the fly leaf of a book which the suspect had presented to a relative; and only two or three years ago a testimonial to a sea captain was brought into court, because among the signatures to it was one for which the police had long hunted in vain.
 One of the most common expedients resorted to for overcoming this diff culty is employing the postoffice-that Is, sending a registered letter to the person whose signature is wanted. And this is frequently successful. Think ing that the postal packet contains money or yaluables, the addressee un- suspectingly signs the receipt, only to discover that inside the envelope there is nothing but a "faked" letter.
 This trap once caught an anonymous letter writer-a woman-who, on being interrogated shortly before, had de clared that she could not write, and whose friends believed her to be illit- crate. It was, in fact, mainly instru- mental in getting her six months i'm prisonment
 The receipt of registered letter, it should be carefully noted, is not given up to anybody, but can be obtained only in certain cases to further the ends of justice.
