After all the adverse reports of
crop conditions in the state, there
seems to be magnificent crop ma
turing, as good perhaps as has been
harvested for several years, but a
good crop now, cannot undo the dam
age that has been done by the calam-
ity howlers who have reported crop
failure for the state, almost since
seeding was finished. Poor crop re-
ports sent many prospective settlers
past this state either to the Canadian
Northwest or to other states, while as
a matter Of fact splendid crop was
growing. Every year there is a splen-
did field in this state for the opera
lions of the fool killer and he should
begin operations on the fellow who
derive so very much satisfaction in
wearing long faces and predicting dire
disaster to the state on account of
the failure of the crop, long before
the crop has reached stage where
any one can tell what it may do. De-
liver us from the pessimist.

Superintendent =. F. L. Watkins Is
out with a letter in which he states
that the new gambling law Is to be
enforced and gives the owners of
buildings ample warning as to what
they may expect. The giving Of
prizes, shaking of dice, playing pool
with the understanding that the
loser pay and In fact all kinds of
games where chance Is taken will
come under the head Of gambling
and the owners of buildings where
such games are carried on may find
their buildings locked up for a year,
at any time. Mr.. Watkins states that
this drastic law was passed at the ur-
gent request Of the parents OF the
state in order to protect the boys and
that the mothers are just as insistant
that the law be enforced, and that he
will make it his business to see that
those found violating the new law
shall be punished. There has been a
growing gambling mania among the
boys of tender years and it Is antici-
pated that the new law may curb this
growing evil.

John Shields was arrested recently
in Fargo for begging on the streets.
He pretended to be cripple and sue
ceeded in creating sympathy and in
that way was successful in securing
enough money to make the game
profitable. When two burly police.
men attempted to place MIN in a cell
it was found that the Two men had
all that they could do and that the
fellow was shamming and instead OF
being helpless cripple was an I'M
usually strong and able bodied man,
which illustrates clearly the danger
of assisting beggars. There are
many charitable organizations which
look after the helpless, besides the
county and state homes, so that there
is no cause for anyone to beg in this
country. And the really needy are
not doing so, but as long as the pub
lie continue to give there will always
be frauds soliciting and obtaining
money that ought to be given through
the proper channels to the needy.
Begging should be discouraged and
giving to charitable organizations en-
couraged. There is not community
in the country that will MOI make a
place where it's cripples can make
living, where they may be treated
with respect, and the soii that prefer
to travel are not entitled to very
much consideration, and the only
way to discourage the needy travel.
ing, as we'll as the impostor soliciting
is by refusing to give. There is an
other cause or reason why begging
from house to Ec':S, by anyone who is
a cripple, more particularly, should be
made crime punishable by imprison-
ment or such punishment as will
stamp it out. There is coming gen.
Grafton that must be considered and
protected and it is only fair to the
prospective mothers, that the awful
sights that some of thu beSgars that
have recently infested Valley City
present, should be kept from t"eir
sight, even though it WORK. an injus-
tice on some few.

The Canadian government has ask.
ed for space in the exposition build
ing at Bismarck for a display. Should
the request be granted, and is it a
hard matter to refuse, then it is up
to the people of this state to beat
the Canadians at their own game and
make up a display that will so far
eclipse that offered by the Canadians
that there can be only one result by
the comparison. This can be done II
every county will do their part. The

The Times.Record has given con-
siderable attention to crop conditions
the past few days, and is satisfied at
this time that with normal prices
Barnes county will harvest one Of
the most profitable crops that has
been gathered for several years.
This does not necessarily mean the
largest number Of bushels on each
acre but the grades promise to be
splendid, straw is light which will
save labor and the crop is maturing
slowly which will give ample time
to harvest without the usual rush
and demand for extra labor, so that
on the whole we believe the 1913 crop
will be a bumper as money maker
for the farmer, provided always that
prices are normal. .... ..G

also making tremendous steps forward

ahe Chautauqua idea carried into ef-
feet not only at Valley City but at
,saher points in the state as we'll is
aiding in this progress.
The Valley City Chautauqua is a
very wide angled institution. There
are features to appeal to many people
and the aim of Secretary Karr and his
assistants this year was to bring into
Is close touch as possible with the ev-
sryday life of the people of the state.
It was recognized that the Chautau-
qua does not exist for amusement en-
iirely or even largely. Its real mission
must be to educate and uplift.
In addition to the regular daily pro-
grams which included addresses by
Julia Lathrop head of the Children's
Bureau of the federal government; DR..
Henry S. Curtis, the foremost Ameri-
tan authority on Fairgrounds and the
play life of children; President Worst

prominence, there were the features

sampment Of Boy Scouts and numer-
Gus others.
The Valley City Chautauqua is a
zeal educational institution, genuine
university of the people.
In addition it offers excellent oppor.
aunities for the family's summer out

controls eighty acres OF beautiful
