N. D.. Farmers
ARE CHANGING
Their VIEWS
BY GEO. WEATHERHEAO.
Special Staff Correspondent Bismarck

DaiIy IrlpuLe.
Fessenden, N. d., Aug. 27.-This
! will probably be the last year a great
many OF the farmers in North Dako'
Ia will attempt to plant wheat in
stnbble land by only discing the soil.
This year has proven to them better
cultivation is necessary II the moist
ure is to be conserved. The faulty
farmer has found that his yield will
be considerably short of that of his
neighbOr who farmed his land along
modern methods and was energetic
to see to it that his soil was well till
ed.
Most of the farmers in Wells coun-
ty are of the enterprising kind. They
realize the benefits to be realized by
practicing better farming methods
and as a result they have a banner
crop this year. Their grain is of ex-
cellent quality, and while the general
yield may not be as heavy as that or
last year, they will realize fully as
much fro mtheir efforts as they did
last year. =
The county fair held here in July
was a success and though it was held
early in the season the resources OF
Wells county were set forth in a cred
table manner. 1t is very LIKELY that
Wells county will have an exhibit at
the state exposition at Bismarck this
year. There is considerable dispOsi-
ton here favoring the idea, but it will
require the services of someone well
qualified for the task to lead the
movement and take charge of gather
ing the products. So far no action
has been taken, but it could be put
under Roadway with but little en-
couragement. r..
The subject of crops is the main is
sue in this section just at present and
no n seems to be paying any atten-
ton to the political situation of either
the county Or the state. Threshing
will soon be under Roadway in full
blast. There seems to be no com.
plant relative to the help situation
and if the present weather only con-
tinues, in another month the crop of
grain will be out Of the way at an ex-
ceptionally early period and a large
amount of fall blowing will be done.
Some of the farmers have already
started blowing. IL

DIFFERENCES Being
SOMEWHAT Adjusted

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 27.-The differ
ences that have existed between the
manufacturers Of baking powders and
the pure food commissioner of North
Dakota have been somewhat adjusted
and a working agreement has been
reached. All baking powders in the
state can be disposed of without
prosecution up till the first of Janu-
airy, but shipments from no won must
conform to the new law. The chief
change is that all baking powders
containing albumen will be barred.
The powder must contain more than
- per cent of carbon dioxide. Rigid
regulations have been adopted re
garding the labelling, net weight, i'm
proper advertising and other features.

When a serum fund, of $4,000.

pledged additional funds to permit 40
per cent increase in the output the

animal husbandry division agreed to
furnish additional hogs to the labora-

"We hope to be able to. double the
output this week, but are handicapped
by lack of funds" said Dean Woods.

during the season about 100000 cubic

Max, N. d., Aug. 27.--Angered over
violations of the new gambling law,
someone her. sent word to the sher-
if. He came up, but instead of going
to the place where arrests had been
expected, he raided another, catching
the proprietor and some participants.
AS one of the defendants was instru-
mental in securing the enactment of
the new gambling law his arrest has
created a great deal of local excite
ment.

Leith, N. D., Aug. 27.-The double

who charged Jens Nelson with shoot

youthful member of the Juber family
with burning the Nelson barn, was

young Juber was held to the district

at the home Of DR.. Gamble and
then marched in a body to the

in honor of Mrs. HumphriesF 46th

were handed out to the ladies
and corresponding numbers to

The Ringing Road.

I. F. Smith returned Wednes-
day evening from Ardmore,
where he went to secure en-
ployment on the grading of
the new Ringling railroad out of
that place. He said they have
to haul water too far to suit him,
so did not stay,
He says in a few days the
road will be completed for 1S
miles west of Ardmore to the
town of Hewitt. Altar passing
Hewitt the road will take a turn
to the northwest and run to
Duncan and will not go through
Waurika as has been expected.
BY passing through Duncan
puts Lawton on the line of this
road.
Although Lone Grove is eight
miles due west of Ardmore the
road passes this town nearly two
miles to the north and then runs
south west to Hewitt. North
west of Hewitt a new town will
be started called Ringing and
the talk is that they will not
construct the road farther than
Ringling until spring.

Once more we hear talk OF unsinkabe ship,
remarks the New York Commercial. An English
inventor claims to have solved the problem. but
his experiments have been confined to small
model only four feet in length and nine inches
wide. 80 the problem OF applying his system to q
vessel 500 or 1000 feet In length is by no means
solved.
Few people outside Of practical shipbuilders and
navigators understand the difference between
large vessel and small one In point OF structural
strength. The strongest vessel that floats In the
water Is Q common rowboat One can take an or
dinary rowboat and carry It by the ends or 1t
can rest on ceats under each end without break.
ing In the middle, but the strongest man-of.war
or ocean liner that hoats today would break In
two II subjected to a similar strain. The larger
q vessel the weaker It becomes In this respect
and for this reason many apparently good ideas
which work out we'll In model form have failed
utterly when applied to large vessels.
1t Is doubtful II any real progress In building
ships has been made since the days OF the Great
Eastern, as far as the use OF watertight compart'
ments and bukheads Is concerned The designer
OF the Great Eastern divided that vessel into cell
lular compartments. and no Improvement on this
plan has as yet been made, although 1t Is not used
extensively because II requires too many matches
for the loading and unloading Of cargo.
The invention TO which reference has been
made consists OF surrounding the vessel with a
watertight belt divided into cells for the purpose
