IDEAS ABOUT POVERTY
HAVE CHANGED, HE SAYS

Arthur w. McDougall, secretary of
the Bureau of Associated Charities,
was one of the speakers last night at
meeting of the Jewish Mems Club,
of Newark. in the oheb Shalom Syn
agogue
In speaking of the Problem of
Poverty he said that the old ideas
about poverty had changed and that,
instead of thinking that poverty was
due to personal defects, the public
has now come to see that it is due to
defects in the economic system. He
emphasized the greater consideration
now being given the poor. and pointed
out as an example the new Newark
almshouse, which is to be known as
a Home for the Aged" and will pro-
vide every comfort for the inmates.

URGE RAILROAD SCHOOL
TAX BILLS PASSAGE
Irrom e star Corresnondent.l

TRENTON, N. j., March 13.-Dr.
William G. Schauffier, president of
the State Board of Education, and
former Senator Joseph s. Freling-
huysen, chairman of the legislative
committee of the board, issued an
open letter to the Legislature today
urging the prompt passage of Senate
bill 165, the purpose of which is to
promote the prompt distribution of
the railroad tax money allotted to the
public schools.
The letter declares that the prac-
tise of distributing this tax Is a
failure, because a railroad disputing
| per cent. of the tax can prevent dis
tribution of the entire tax and compel
school districts to borrow their own
money from banks, paying from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year for the priyi-
lege.

DAVE COIN PLACED
UNDER ARREST
CLOTHING MERCHANT, BANK
RUPT, is CHARGED WITH OBJ
TANNING GOODS UNDER FALSE
PRETENSES.

David Cohn, we'll known clothing
merchant of this city, who conducted
the Cohn Clothing store for the past
three years, was placed under arrest
Saturday, charged with obtaining
goods under false pretenses. 1t is al
legged that he made false statements
to his creditors and that he tried to
conceal portion of the goods.
Cohn was released on $500 bail.
Judge Lynch continued the hearing
in order to give time for the arrival
of important witnesses from the east.
Cohn filed a petition in bankruptcy
last week, and E. B. McCutcheon was
named as temporary receiver. His
liabilities are practically $4,000
while the visible assets do not amount
to much more than a thousand dollars
worth of merchandise. An inspection
of the stock revealed hundreds of
empty boxes on the shelves but little
merchandise. It is said that there
were but "a suits of clothing and one
pair of shoes left in the two depart
ments Cohn had sold considerable of
his stock to Goldberg Bros, of Glen
burn, for $500 but no money had been
paid by that concern. The goods were
recovered Monday.
Jake Goldberg, one of the Glenburn
merchants, arrived in Minot Monday.
He said that Cohn had made him a
tempting offer and that he had bar
gained for the goods but fortunately
had not paid over any money.
Most of the creditors reside in the
east Cohn Bros, no relatives of
Dave, residing at Milwaukee, are
among the main creditors. Cohn has
done practically no local banking for
the past two months and it is alleged
that he has sent number of express
orders east.

The following dispatch from Winni-

paper man, employed several years

Winnipeg, Man., July 19.-The pre-
liminary hearing of Clifford Dufour,
charged with the theft of travelling
bag valued at $18 from the room Of
James Brinkman, guest at the Iri-

the defense counsel was not ready to
proceed.
Extensive thefts from hotel rooms
are alleged against Dufour and he will

warren CASE
T0'BE . POSTPONED
STATES ATTORNEY DESIRES TO
GET MORE EVlDENCE-COUN.
TY SUPERINTENDENT HAS
VERY INCOMPLETE RECORDS.

States Attorney Nestos will hardly
be able to try the case against E. G.
Warren, superintendent of schools, at
this term of district court. Mr.. Mes
tos learned in the preliminary exami-
nation Of Mr.. Warren, held before
Mark NJ. Chatfield, as referee, that
Mr.. Warren's records as to his visits
are very incomplete and as he has
been relying largely on the records of
the county superintendent, he finds
that he is. hardly prepared to 20 to
trial at this time.
Mr.. Warren kept sort Of a record
Of the visits, but often the schedule
was made out for five or six days
ahead, and the visits do not always
correspond with those records, as to
the exact dates. Out of the hundreds
of trips made in the southern part of
the county, there is absolutely no way
of telling which ones were made by
auto, and charged the same as tho
the journey had been made around by
Drake. The States Attorney desired
the counsel for the defense to stipu-
late the number of visits to save the
expense of summoning witnesses, but
this was not agreeable to the defense.
May Invoke New Law.
The States Attorney is considering
invoking the new law, which gives the
governor power to remove any county
official from office in case it appears
that there has been malfeasance or
misfeasance in Office. According to
this law, should the governor deem it
advisable to take this action, he would
have to appoint commission within
20 days to hear the testimony and
that body would have the power to
appoint temporary successor who
would act during the time the case
ris pending. Mr.. Warren could get re-
dress in the courts.

WILD OATS.
w. C. Palmer, Agr. Editor, N. D.
Agr. College.

Wild oats are a bad weed in con-
tinuous grain growing, but they can.
not do much harm in good rotation
In eradicating wild oats the point to
be kept in mind is to get the wild oats
in the ground to grow but to kill the
plants before they 60 to seed. 1t is
easy enough to do this if no crop is
raised but crop may be needed. Bar
ley and millet can be grown and the
wild oats eradicated at the same time.
When these crops are used either disc
or plow the land shallow in the fall
and harrow early in the spring. The
object being to make a good seed bed
so the wild oats will grow. Plow the
land from the 1st to the goth of June
depending on the location in the state.
This will allow maximum Of the
wild oats to terminate. Then SOW
barley or millet at once. The barley
will grow rapidly and will ripen as
soon as the wild oats. Cut the barley
a little on the green side and but few
oats will scatter. The millet being
cut for hay is the more effective. It
also leaves the land in splendid shape
for growing a good crop of grain.
Two years of this kind of treatment
will remove most of the wild ats.
Rye can also be used in killing wild
oats. The rye can be sown either in
the stubble or the land can be plowed
for it. Flowing will give the best re-
suits on heavy land. Sow in the lat
ter part of August. The rye, and es-
pecially on plowed ground, shakes out
the wild oats. In this way wild oats
can be killed and crop of grain rails
ed at the same time.
When growing a crop of grain, such
as wheat or oats that takes longer to
ripen than wild oats, the wild oats will
increase from year to year.

Surrey, N. D., July %.
Editor independents:
At meeting of the Surrey Farm
ers' club No. at the home of J. W..
Smith, the following motion was sub
mitted by Mr.. A. M. Wetmore and re-
ceived prompt second: "That the
club have a chemical test of the soil
of their farms made" and the motion
prevailed. The motion was prompt
ed by knowledge that certain spots
of ground give an acid reaction to lit
mus paper. From the writer's knowl-
edge of chemistry he is led to believe
that soil to be the most productive
should show an alkaline or basic ten
dency. Even tho all the elements of
fertility are present in great abund-
ance, we believe they should be held
in basic solution. If it should prove
to be a fact that the tendency of our
soil is acid we have raised the hardest
problem the Ward county farmers
have to solve, and will show many a
good man how large quarter-section
really is. The enclosed letter from
Prof. 3. F. Ladd gives instructions
for taking samples Of soil to be SUBJ
mitted to the Agricultural College for
analysis.
After the discussion was ended
Mrs. Smith made the farmers hearts
glad by serving gingerbread and
pumpkin pie. This should have been
washed down with hard cider, but the
apple crop didn't supply sufficient
quantity of juice to be stored away
last fall so the good husbandmen
were content to sip lemonade.

Surrey Agricultural Association,
Surrey, N. D.
Dear Sir:
beg to acknowledge yours of July
9th, with regard to the matter Of acid
soil.
In the east where much of the soil
is acid they use lime as fertilizer in
the form Of quick lime or lime carbon
ate to counteract the acidity of the
soil. I would not want to recommend
a general application of this without
knowing more definitely with regard
to the soil conditions; in fact, without
experimenting at first. l would use
land to see how it affected the crops
and condition Of the soil. If it were
successful, then it could be used gen.
orally on the land.
With regard to the examination Of
a sample of soil: Samples should be
taken from different points on the
field. If you have a quarter section
then you should select five or six
points and at each of these points
takes samples to the depth of 8 or 10
inches, depending on the surface soil
and its depth. These samples should
be thoroughly mixed and from this q
composite sample of or pounds
submitted far analysis. At the same
points samples Of the sub-soil should
be taken from or 10 inches down to
18 or 20 inches; these should be thor
oughly mixed and from this a g.
pound sample submitted; giving infor-
nation with regard to the character
Of the soil, vegetation, drainage, crops
and any other information that would
be helpful in getting at the facts. We
will then try and see what can be
done to get results that will be helps
full to you.
Yours very truly,
p. i. Ladd. Dean.
