escape was Claire Knapp, who turned
off the engine, preventing an explos-

The others lifted the wreck, raising
it enough for Mr.. Hyde to creep out.
Howard Cole with another auto party
appeared and took Mr. Kinder to his
original destination and bringing the
ladies back to town. The young men
remained and with the help of a
threshing crew righted the auto and
patched it up sufficiently to drive to

SHOULD GRAIN BE HELD.

A number of the state newspapers
are urging their farmer subscribers
to hold their grain for higher prices
and as result it is claimed by ex
perts that less IMAM One-half of NORTH
Dakota's big crop will be harvested
this year Immediately after threshing
Whether or not this is good bust
ness, is open to argument, but 1t Is
fact that the price Of wheat Is low
er at this season than it has been fol
several seasons, while other grains
and the products of the diversified
farming, which has gained such a hold
in the state, are bringing prices fa1
higher in comparison.
A certain percentage urges immedi
ate marketing of the seasons crop be-
cause of the congressional situation
the tariff, and the possibility of a
period of financial depression follow
ing the adjournment of Congress
They claim that these conditions are
sure to result in still greater re-
duction in the price of wheat, and
that the farmer should take advan'
tage of the price as it now stands, get
his money and hang onto it against
such a contingency.
The best prognosticators, however,
say that North Dakota is in position
now where it could and should, wait
for a better market. Last years crop
helped thousands Of farmers pay the
debts which they had incurred in the
precious two years of bad crop, and
this years harvest if properly hand
led, will put them in excellent shape
for another season.
1t is certain that in most cases, the
farmer who wants to, is in position
to hold his crop. Diversification has
never been so general. Dairy pro-
ducts, live stock, corn and other field
crops, with the exception of wheat,
are bringing an excellent figure, and
the farmer who will hord his wheat
for few months is pretty certain to
secure better figure than he can
get today.

Washington Post: Now that the

Washington Post: Now that the
residents of Kansas have obtained par.
HAL relief from the effects of the long
drought, it behooves the scientifically
curious to begin study of the changes
that have been wrought in the fauna
and flora of that region by the dry
spell, as we'll as of the influences that
have likewise been exerted upon the
customs and manners of the people.
In the last.named respect, the coun'
try at large has viewed with admira.
ton the quick adaptability of ways
Of living to the changed environment,
IS evidenced by turning the whole out
of-doors into the family bedroom, and
the frying of the matutinal egg on
khe doorstep of the family mansion.
Humanity, however, speedily adjusts
Aself to a return of normal conditions
and goes on as formerly in the we'll
worn grooves Of daily convention.
With the vegetable and animal king
dom it is otherwise. Thus does the
contention of agricultural advisers
that milo maize and durum wheat
should supplant the moisture-loving
cereal now being grown become of mo-
ment, while even more pronounced are
the effects upon the animals of reports
be true.
For instance, there comes from
Medicine Lodge, Kans., the account
sf pet bullfrog owned by leading
citizen. For three years past, the
story goes, there hasn't been enough
gain at Medicine Lodge to lay the
dust, let alone form satisfactory mud
puddle for the use of healthy frog.
Consequently the frog has not yet
learned to swim, and its possessor
doubts that he ever will-going on
three years old, as he is, and thorough
" welded to a dry-land existence.
From Augusta, Kans., still stranger
news is CLEANED. The annual picnic
was held at Augusta the other day,
the usual picnic weather being con-
spicuous by it's absence. The river
was dry, and many were at loss
where to water their horses. But one
wide-awake farmer was equal to the
emergency. Reaching behind the dash
board he produced jug, which he
held up to his horses mouth. The sa-
xacious animal took a long pull and a
strong pull and the deed was done.
Thus the triumph of invention over
necessity. And who knows what the
results may yet be? AS every one is
aware, there's money in bullf"ogs, if
one can only catch them. AS those
also know who've tried, that's the nub
of the proposition. For the agile bull
frog, once in the stream, muddies the
water as the inksquid does his briny
retreat or politician his discourse.
But dry-land frog farm will solve
the problem. So, too with Jug
drinking horse. Once given over to
the habit, soon there must come a
change in his entire nature. There will
be developed in him a Drawer spirit,
while to his optic will come wicked
CLINT like unto that which Jacob Gal
Ringer detects in the eye Of John
Sharp Williams when the latter dis
covers another flaw in the fabric of
protection.
As the melancholy Jacques said
Ausingly in the vale of Arden, Sweet
are the uses Of adversity!" So may
4 be with Kansas. Out of her
thoughts will come frog farms; from
Der horses will descend breed of
Kentucky hunters, and even thus will
she pluck from the nettle of disaster
the flower of future prosperity.

EQUALIZATION Board
Completes Its Work
LEVY THE SMALLEST EVER MADE
FOR GENERAL FUND
PURPOSES.

Bismarck, Sept. 2-The state board
of equalization has completed its work
so far as the assessment of property
and the equalization of assessments
between counties, is concerned.
The state auditor returned to the
board as result of the assessment
and equalization, the total assessed
valuation Of .$306, 958,373.O0. This is
approximately $4,000, 100000 more than
the 1912 assessment, but this must be
discounted about $4,000, 100000 because
of the exemption law of 1913 which
raised the exemption on personal prop
erty assessments to $4,000 from $1,000.
The levy for state purposes follows:

The levy by the state board of equal
ization for 1913 shows the smallest
levy ever made in North Dakota for
general fund purposes. The total tax
levied is one-tenth of a mill higher
than the total tax levied in 1912, but
this is caused by the increase in the
amount necessary to meet payments
of state bonds when due, and the pay
