REQUIEM HIGH ! { i MASS
I FOR DEPARTED ; Al Pope
Bishop Wehrle Announces Sole
nm Service in Memory Of De.
ceased Head Of Church.

Catholics all over the nation are in
mourning owe the death Of Pope Plus
the Tenth, and Bishop Wehrle has an
nounced a solemn requiem high mass
in the Catholic church Of this city
this morning friday ut s O'Clock, In
honor Of the departed pope. Bishop
Wehrle makes the following state
1neht:
Bismarck, N D., Aug. 20, 1914.
"Rev. Dear Father:
''The unexpected death OF our. Holy
Father, Plus K, fills our hearts with
greatest sorrow, on account OF the
loss OF such d kind, fatherly and truly
holy Pontiff, who In such a perfect
way was an image Of Jesus Christ,
meek and humble Of heart. But we
must also thank and praise God that
IN our lifetime we had a Pope who in
d most Jealous way tried to restore
all things In Jesus Christ, continually
urging bishops, priests and all the
faithful to become more and more
united with Christ by true knowledge
of the Christian truths and especially
by Uniting ourselves with Christ
through fervent and frequent. Holy
Communion.
"When we. consider the time Of. his
death, we adore the loving providence
Of God, who took him away from this
valley OF tears before he could see
the terrible affections which the pres
ent wal will bring upon the whole CIV
ilized world.
"As grateful children, It becomes
our duty to pray for him who. bearing
the most sacred responsibility, has
now appeared before Jesus Christ,
Bishop and Shepherd Of souls, to rem
der his account OF the administration
OF the whole Church of God.
Therefore we order a solemn Re
QUEEN Service In every church Of our
diocese, to be held as soon as con-
veriient, and to which the whole con-
gregation should be invited.
I'VE also direct that till the cleo
ton Of q new Pope every day the Col
lect be taken from the Missa: Pro
Eligendo, Summo Pontifice.
"Yours in Christ,
VINCENT WEHRLE,
Bishop Of Bismarck"

Stated Settlers Fight With

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. pa dozen
emigrant wagons-the familiar "prai-
RE schooners' Of the west-drawn by
oxen and horses, yesterday moved
slowly over the prairie. In the dis
lance a war whoop was heard and
several hundred Indians in. full war
paint soon appeared, riding at a hard
gallop for the wagons. Immediately
the hollow square SO familiar in early
history OF the west was formed by
the wagons and the Indian attack was
met. s,
For same moments the battle ragged
furiously, the sredmen lying flat on
the sides Of their ponies and firing
from under nacks Of the animals.
Finally. in a desperate sortie from

the savages away and another victory
had been achieved by the pioneers Of

BETTER FARMING ASSOCIATION
GETS RESULTS.

Plngree, N. kDs, Aug. l26:-That the
work of the Better Farming associa-
ton in Stutsman county is showing
very marked results, and that they
have accomplished what they set out
to do a few weeks ago cannot be de.
MED. Facts and figures prove con
clusively that by reason of the CO.
operation Of the Eetter Farming ex-
ports, local farming conditions have
improved wonderfully in the past
three years.
In 1911 there were only about 80
acres of alfalfa in the county, one
OF the best forage crops ever grown
and for hog pasture cannot be beat,
while today nearly every farmer in
the county has a fine patch.
The acreage of corn in 1911 was
comparatively small and only about
2 per cent Of the seed was home
grown. In 1914 80 per cent Of the
seed planted was home grown and
the increase in acreage was about the
same as alfalfa,
The live stock industry has also
increased by leaps and bounds. Three
years ago on farms where we found
one or two hogs and a COW we now
find from 10 to 100 fat porkers, and
from 2 to Is good milk cows.
The price of live stock has never
been more attractive than 1t has been
the past year, Notwithstanding the 10.
cal increase In production, while the
prices of wheat and other small grain
is left to the mercy Of circumstances
for regulation. 5hls Il Il

The state railroad commission IS

In response to the wishes Of the

new TRADE: CENTER Fl |
American Tobacco Merchants Are
Looking to Shanghai as Dis
tributing Point

New York, Aug. 20.-The European
war has already created a new trade
center. 49@A
American tobacco merchants, parti-
cularly the importers OF Sumatra leaf,
believe that Shanghai, China, will
surplant Amsterdam the present
meeting place for those engaged in
the trade, as the distributing point
for Sumatra tobacco. Among the New
York importers the opinion is freely
expressed that under the present war
conditions the holding of tobacco in
scriptions at Amsterdam are not pos
sible, and that; conditions subsequent
to the war. must serve to hinder rath-
er than help a tobacco market at that
point.
geographically, Shanghai is admir-
ably situated for the collection and
distribution of the Sumatra crop, and
with the new and the added shipping
facilities brought, about through the
opening of the Panama Canal, the
China metropolis Is brought nearer
the New York market by many days.
Last year, New York tobacco leaf
merchants, alone, imported 10000
bales Of Sumatra, and the demand for
this type on tobacco by American
manufacturers Of cigars has been
steadily increasing. Every year Am
sterdam has drawn thousands of buy
ers to it's tobacco market and han
died millions of dollars that passed
between growers and merchants.
Fine Shipping Facilities.
Shanghai possesses excellent ship
ping and harbor,' facilities. and a con-
siderable amount of capital in the
Sumatra leaf business is furnished
by merchants and capitalists engag-
ed in business in that particular sec
ton of China. AT the same time
Shanghai is 4 free port, and under
the peculiar conditions governing the
existence of that city it must remain
q neutral port. There is probably
no other city in the world that may
be affected less by war between the
various nations than Shanghai. The
city, a foreign settlement, Is govern.
ed by its own people, with autonomy
guaranteed by powers that are not
likely to decree that it's present sta
tus or its government be changed.
The permanence. therefore. of Shang-
hal appeals to the men engaged in
the Sumatra trade, and the new mar.
ket place, though born of necessity,
will probably remain through choice.
