here today state that the fourth at
tempt of Brig. Gen. Pershing to hold
a conference with Anil, the obstrep-
erous Sultan Of Jolo. has failed. Anil
fears if he gets into Pershing's
clutches he will be hanged.
Gen. Pershing, who has been in Fam

voys he sent to Anil, is Disguised, ana
is said now to be eager for fight
with the troublesome Moros. He Is in
frequent communication with WASH

Friends of Sultan Anil deny that ne

The students, owing to the absence of
any appropriation for these camps. will
be obliged to pay their transportation
to the point of encampment and return,
and also their subsistence. 1t is ex-
pected that the subsistence will cost each
man about 81 rs per week. Regular army
rations will be furnished, but they will
have to be purchased out of the funds
paid in by the students. Each student
also will be asked to buy uniform out
fit, to cost $.66 per man.
AS climax to the Gettysburg en-
campment, the War Department is plan
ming a march to Mount Gretna, Pa,
for several days Of rifle shooting at the
target range there. The march will be
made in about six days, or two days
more than would be allowed regulars to
cover the same distance. Then the col
legians will be given an opportunity to
test their skill in using the regular army
rifles which they will have become ia

lice Say Men Arc Caught.

New York. April 21.-There was con-
sternation at police headquarters today
when word was flashed from the Liberty
Avenue station in Brooklyn that another
daring robbery of cigar store had been
accomplished this morning, and sZ7l
taken.
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty was
resting upon his laurels of capturing the
crowd which he announced had been re-
sponsible for the outrages all over the
city, when he was rudely jolted at the
news of another holdup perpetrated in
exactly the same way that the dozen
other robberies of cigar stores have
been successfully tried. A squad Of de-
tectives were chased out to run down
the new band-or maybe the old band.

New York. April H.-Antonio Musica,
head of the family which conducted the

not guilty to the first OF the 1ndict-
ments found against him, which charges
the grand larceny of $4,000, when he
was arraigned before Justice Crane in
the Criminal Branch of the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn, today.
The elderly man appeared very feeble
in court, clearly showing the effects of
the illness which overlook him after he
was brought back.
The District Attorney believes that the
swindle will approach the million-dollar
mark. although the confession Of Philip
Musica, the eldest son, places the figure
at half that amount.

in this paragraph, that up to and in4
Guiding the year 1911 the business of
underwriting official bonds in the state
Of North Dakota had been transacted
by the various surety companies do
ing business in this state at a coma
Portable profit to themselves, and that
there was q wholesome margin be-
tween premiums and losses. 1t also
appears that there was no competition
between the various companies in the
for the 1913 business, and that
the same ranged from 200 to 400 pen
cent higher in 1913 than in 1911. We
submit that the legislature would
have been remiss in its duty to the
people if 1t had not attempted to curb
the extortion that was being practiced'
by the companies represented by the
petitioner and If 1t had not attempted,
to check the lavish expenditure of the
money of the taxpayers which vas
being so freely drawn upon to support
the monopoly formed by the various
bonding companies doing business i'm
the state of North Dakota.
again we ask, with what grace
does the petitioner complain that a.
monopoly is being established, and we
would remind the court of the terms
of the law whereby all of the money
of the taxpayer, excepting only 80
much thereof as is necessary to de-
fray the expenses Of the business, will
be returned to the municipalities and
pro-rated according to the premiums
contributed"

The WATER
REQUIREMENTS
OF PLANTS

(By w. c. Palmer, Agricultural
Editor North Dakota Agricultural
ColIege.)
Different crops require different
amounts of water. These amounts
also vary for each crop under differ
ent climatic conditions. A knowledge
of these water requirements of the
different crops may in a measure serve
as a guide in selecting the ones best
adapted to certain sections.
Briggs and Shantz Of the bureau Of
plant industry, Washington, D. c.,
have carried on Investigations in the
water requirements Of the different
crops at Akron, Colo, and at Amar-
lilo and Dalhart, Tex, in 1910 and
1911.
The results of these experiments
are given in bulletin No. 284 bureau OF
plant industry. The averages of these
experiments are as follows: Pounds
water required to produce a pound of
dry matter (whole plant) millet 275,
sorghum 306, pig weed 275, tumble
weed 277, Russian thistle 1886, corn
| 800, sugar beet 377, rape AL, potatoes
44S, wheat 507, barley, 500 buck
wheat 578, oats GA, sweet clover 709,
field peas 800, alfalfa 1868.
The pounds water required to pro-
duce a pound Of grain was as follows:
sorghum 100; millet 923, buckwheat
1880. It required 1855 pounds water to
produce a pound of potato tuber and
10 to produce a pound Of sugar beet
root. -
This brings out the big differences
between the effective s that the diff
ferent crops can make of the moisture.
1t does not. however, take into con-
s%ideration the ability of the different
crops to secure moisture through their
larger or small root systems.
The water requirement of the le-
gumes and especially alfalfa Is high.
1t must be kept in mind though that
the legumes are high in protein.
a, The water that would suffice for
producing O. fifty bushel crop of oats,
according to these figures should be
sufficient for producing $500 pounds
Of alfalfa. The fifty bushels oats will
contain III pounds digestible protein,
while the $500 pounds of alfalfa will
contain 277 pounds digestible protein.
OF digestible carbohydrates and fat
the fifty bushels oats contain 942
pounds, while the $500 alfalfa would
have 1912 pounds. The alfalfa with
its larger root system, and especially
If the plants are not too thick, will
be able to draw moisture from more
soil than can the oat plant, and will
therefore be able to produce more
than the $500 pounds of alfalfa to the
fifty bushels Of oats. In fact it viii
likely be nearer two tons, which would
contain 444 pounds digestible protein
and 1920 pounds of digestible fat and
carbohydrates.
1t was also found that the different
varieties of a crop required different
amounts Of water as for instance the
following varieties OF wheat (whole
plants, pounds water to make one
pound dry matter) Kubanka 1853, Gal.
galgos 496 Spring Ghirka sos, Marve
? Blue Stem 531: pounds water re.
CURED to produce n pound grain.
, Kubanka 1191, Galgalgos 1915, Spring
+ Ghirka 1882, Marvel Blue Stem 1885.
This data helps explain why corr
millet and kaff1r have done better thar
some other crops in the regions O.
2 lighter rainfall.

THE SUEZ CANAL.

The first great engineering project
OF its kind was brought to a successful
completion when the Suez canal was
formally opened forty-four years ago
today. The canal cost $100,00O,000 but
much of this went for brides n
graft" while the Khedive of Egypt
forced the fellaheen or peasants to toll
on the canal without any remunera-
ton beyond a bare subsistence. Over
seers armed with whips kept the peas
ants to their task, and the work OF
excavation was carried OF in the most
primitive manner The festival given
by the Khedive in comn1emoration of
the opening of the canal cost $25,000,-
600, or a fourth as much as the canal.
Cairo was rebuilt for the celebration
which was graced by the presence of
the Emperor of Austria, the Empress
OF France, and many other high-and-
mighty p~ersonages. The engineering
work Of the canal was under the direc-
ton of M. De Lesseps, a Frenchman.
The canal Is lightweight miles in
length. 1t has since been Widened and
deepened to accommodate the larger
L~aiaias OF today

In connection with the contention OF
the relator that the state was Great
ing a monopoly, Judge Carmody said
to the court:
ct may be well to inquire with what
grace this complaint is made by petit
toner. In the sworn return of the in
surance commissioner, defendant in,
this case, a. set of facts is disclose 1
which shows beyond question that Pc
titioner is and has been for some time
past, participating in the proceeds of
a monopoly of the business of under
writing public officials in the state Of
North Dakota. He now before.
the highest judicial tribunal in the
state and complains that the state is
about to create in itself a monopolNi
privilege which, he contends, belongs.
as a matter Of right to himself and.
the surety companies he represents.
The attitude of the petitioner is that
1t is unlawful for the state to create
in the interest of efficient and eco1
nomical government that which he
and others similarly situated alreadM
enjoy, as a matter of private gain. In
this connection we desire to refer tho
