1HRESH|NG now
IN EVIDENCE

Fargo, N. d., Aug. 13-Threshing
operations are in progress all over
the southern half Of the state and the
yields reported are generally Of a
satisfactory nature. There is nothing
of a bumper crop, but the yields are
far from being the kind predicted ~
calamity howlers. North Dakota has
raised a fair average crop. The yield
will not be like last years huge crop.
Probably about tWo-thirds as much
grain will be raised this yea rs last,
but the cheaper harvest and thresh.
ing and other conditions will make IL
rs profitable as last season.
About Is to 80 per cent Of the har.
vesting is done in the southern tier
of counties, while in the central it is
more than so per cent cut. In the
northern counties the wheat harvest
is just becoming general.

Cannot SECURE A
REFUND Of Rates

Fargo, N. d.. Aug. 13-North Da-
kotans cannot secure any refund on
the old railroad fares when Mime
sofa was charging 8 cents per mile.
Theer is nothing in the law either of
this state with its 2 IL cent rate or
Minnesota with its 2 cent rate that
applies to interstate traffic. Many
North Dakotans, who were accustom-
ed to going to the twin cities and
taking receipts for their fares, will
be disappointed over their failure to
secure a refund. Some of then are
so disappointed that they want the
North Dakota railroad commission to
assist in the impossible task. Those
who purchased tickets to the North
Dakota line, then made purchases for
the rest of the distance and took re-
ceipts will be in position to- secure
a refund.
