NORTH DAKOTA
CROP SITUATION
General Conditions Much In
proved During the Past
~'R'''' Fortnight

Fargo, n. D., July 25.-The cror
situation in North Dakota Is improv
ing daily, despite a series OF hail and
other storms over the state. While
there has been some devastation, #
has fortunately oeen over limited
areas. Rains are prevalent in many
sections OF the state and the late
wheat, oats and barley are rapidly
advancing.
The Red River valley crop is as.
sured, barring damaging storms, and
additional rains will not be required
to properly mature the crop. In fact,
heavy rains now would he more. of a
handicap than a benefit in the valley
counties. "'2
Late rains have caused grain that
had started to head low to the
ground to grow up to a height which
will make it easy to harvest. There
will be nothing like the straw this
year that North Dakota had last, but
the heads will average up very well
and THE valley crops will probably be
as large Yields almost, as last sea-
son, with the exception Of the early
grain. The light straw will mean that
the crop can be harvested and thresh-
easier and more cheaply than last
year.
There are sections of the state
where earlier grain was hopelessly
lost, but despite the bad spots, North
Dakota will raise this year two-thirds
OF a crop, If the maturing season is
late and frosts permit the late grain
to ripen.
Rye harvest is we'll advanced with
a majority Of the crop cut. Velvet
chaff wheat is %ripening rapidly. The
great part of the other wheat, the
oats and the barley are in the green
est stage.

MEXICAN
SITUATION
DISCUSSED

Fargo, N. D., July 25.-The subject
most frequently discussed at the re
cent militia encanpment was the
Mexican situation. The members OF
the national guard cen to have an
idea that they will soon be called for
service to establish order in the re,
public to the south. With the en-
thusiasm Of their youthful years the
majority are anxious for active work
and would respond instantly TO a call
If necessary.
Underground information from
Washington, with the activity of the
war and navy departments and the
preparations for the regular troops,
coupled with the return of A.nbassa-
dor Wilson and other incidents, has
aroused the members of the militia
to a high pitch. North Dakota sent
a regiment to the Philippines fifteen
years ago, and if a call is made for
the state militia there will be no diff
ficulty in securing a full quota for
each company for active service in
Mexico.

tions when the country is pacified,
Think Plan is Ruse.
This vas the answer Of the Constl-
nationalist representatives here today
to reports that mediation was about
to be undertaken through the offices
of the United States.
The Constitutionayists profess to
see in such a proposal an effort on the
part Of the Huerta government to
secure a suspension Of hostilities,
during which it would take retaliatory
measures to suppress the Constitu-
tionalists cause. The Constitutional
lists point out that the same kind on
proposals were repeatedly made in
the declining Gays of the Diaz admin
istration.
Senator Bacon, as he left the White
House today, said that SO far as he
knew no formal recommendation FOR
mediation was being considered by
the president and that the matter had
only reached the stage Of discussion.
A number of senators, in discussing
the Mexican situation with President
Wilson today learned that he was
hopeful that the senate would refrain
from debate about Mexico at this time
or at any rate until after Ambassador
Wilson returned and a definite policy
was formulated. 1t was said the pres
ident pointed out that expressions by
senators might arouse bad feeling in
Mexico.

ers people of the state run in eating
some Of the articles that are palmed

dies, coffee, medicines and other
things are exhibited.

Washington, July 25.-Discussion OF
the Mexican situation today turned
toward proposals that the United
States to act as a mediator while cleo
lions are held and a constitutional
government established.
Although such suggestions have at
various times been made to President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan and mem
bers of congress by persons in this
country and Mexico, the proposition
has never reached the stage of SER
ious consideration because Of the i'm
sistent attitude OF the constitutional
lists that they, would not entertain
meditation under any circumstances.

OF an election? The only guarantee
we can have it to take possession OF

farm BOYS
in CAMP AT
. THE FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D., July 15.-Bur-
leigh county was represented at the
Farm Boys encampment, which is be-
ing held here under the direction OF
the Better Farming association, by
Arthur Thomas Of Driscoll and Har.
old WEIGH Of Menoken.
Practically the entire state is rep
resented at the camp OF. farm boys,
which is held in conjunction wiz
the state fair. Living in tents with
excellent Facilities for eating, the
boys spend the day under military
routine, studying how to be better
farmers. The tremendous import.
.ance of the camp cannot be over.em-
phasized, for the boys are able, be-
cause Of the splendid exhibit of live
stock, to study and Judge the fine
points of blooded cattle at close
range.
-Four classes are held daily and the
boys take notes on the lectures and
at the close OF the week they will
be asked to make a report on tie
subjects investigated. Horses, Beef
Cattle, Hogs, Corn, Alfalfa and Dairy
Cattle have been studied thus far and
SO interesting are the lectures that
many visitors to the fair have at
tended them and secured much valu.
able information.
The training of the farm boy in the
ways of Better Farming will mean
much to the future of the state in
agriculture and to the economic con-
dition of the farmer.
Besides studying better ways Of
farming, the boys have been enter
tanned by the fair association in va.
rious ways and the Y. M. C. A. has
arranged for swimming classes in or
der that every boy may know how
to take care OF himself in the water.

Mr.. TENER DIES AT
HIS HANOVER HOME
SYLVANIA'S GOVERNOR TO
BE SENT TO PTTTSBURG.

The body of Robert w. Tener.
brother of Governor Tener. Of Penn
sylvania, who died suddenly Friday
night at his home in Hanover coun-
ty, will be shipped from Richmond
at noon today to Pittsburg, accom-
panied by his son.
Mr.. Tener had been complaining
for several days. but his condition was
not regarded as serious. Friday
morning he was seized with an at
tack of what seemed to be acute in
digestion. Later in the day he re-
covered and apparently was much i'm
proved. Toward night the attack was
renewed. However, 1t was not so
severe as to cause members of his
family any alarm. He refused to
take to his bed. but was induced to
remain quiet in a chair. An hour
later he suffered another attack with
the result that he died in a few mo-
ments. A physician arrived shortly
before he expired. He said apoplexy
was the direct cause OF death.
Mr.. Tener was fifty-three years old
He came to Virginia some years age
and settled on a farm near Walnut
Grove Church, in Hanover. The farm
Is about eight miles from Richmond.
When Governor. Tener was here
last December in attendance upon the
governors conference. he spent a day
with his brother. This is believed to
have been the last the two brothers
saw of each other.

Bryan Promises to Study Loan

WASHINGTON. May 1o.-The is
sue OF its attitude toward the financ-
ing of Central American governments
was put squarely up to the Wilson
administration this afternoon, when
representatives OF Nicaragua asked
Secretary Bryan for an explicit state
ment of his position with regard to
proposed loans to their government by
American bankers
The tactical effect of the Nicaragu-
an appeal Is to bring to the front
again the Nicaraguan loan conven-
ton negotiated under the Taft admin
istration, and shelved by the senate
Will Make Study.
Secretary Bryan has undertaken to
study the loan treaty and also the
Knox treaty providing fer the sale TO
the United States of a naval base site
on the Gulf Of Fonsoca, and an ex-
elusive right to the construction OF

conference with Secretary Bryan.
Tho Nlcaraguan government finds
itself in dire need of money at the
present time.
The result Of today's conference
was the promise of Mr.. Bryan to
study the loan treaty. and the treaty
for the session of a naval base site to
the United States. The first pro-
vides that IL the president can give
his approval to any loan contract

The purpose IL to prevent revolu-
tons In that republic. by making 1t
impossible for any rebel leader to

treaty, but as the treaty never re-
ceived the approval of the senate the
contract never became operative. The
American bankers are still willing to
stand by the proposition, II 1t shall
have the approval of the Washington
government.
The other treaty would likewise

vides that the United States shall pay
