Bismarck Tribune: According to
figures compiled by the government,
the percentage of increase in the
production Of eggs in ten years has
been more than twice the percent
age of increase in the population of
the country. So, in accounting for
the egg famine. any theory that the
hens have become less fertile or that
the number IF hens had decreased
would be scratching in the wrong
chicken-yard. One does not have to
be very old to recall the days when
people did not expect to eat eggs af-
ter frost had come. Winter was
the resting period of hens and the
season for doing without eggs. But
the cold-storage plant is now univer-
sal. 1t has done more than make
the egg a luxury Of the winter
breakfast-table. 1t has made it the
year-around necessity. Ithas caused
the development of industries
among which eggs by the thousand
and million are the raw materials.
1t has caused the invention and con-
struction of containers by means of
which eggs can be shipped any dis
tance. 1t has built up a great ex-
port trade in eggs. The famine
may be charged to the appetite for
eggs. 1t is due to the fact that
eggs are commonplace among house,
wives material every day in the
twelvemorth, Many more millions
of hens than there are would be nec-
essary to satisfy the demand for
eggs; many more storage plants;

Mandan. Dec. 2e.-In an attempt
not only to secure pure seed wheat,
but a variety that will increase the
yield of this section of the state, the
Russell-Miller Milling Company has
secured 100000 bushels Of MARQUIS
wheat direct from the Canadian ex-
pertinent station at Indian Head.
Saskatchewan. The seed is to be
cleaned and recleaned till it weighs
sixty-fve pounds to the bushel. 1t
willthen be as svirile as can besecured.
1t is claimed to increase the yield
FROM 10 to rs per cent, to be rust
proof and will not shell. One of it's
chief advantages is that 1t ripens
from week to ten days earlier than
the average wheat. This quality is
expected to prove highly beneficial.
in that it will get the grain out of
the way of the damaging hot winds
that SO often catch the ordinary
varieties right in the milk" stage
and entirely ruin and shrivel up

that a crop three days to a week ear

these torrid winds, which are the
greatest menace to the crops in this
part of the state.

Grand Forks Herald: We learn
that at the marriage of Judge Ben
Lindsey Of Denver, the other day,
the word "obey" was omitted from
the service. doubtless at the request
Of the parties chiefly interested. A
few weeks ago, at the White House
wedding, the word was retained at
the request of the bride, a daughter
of the president of the United
States. Does this indicate that
Mrs. Sayre will obey her husband,
according to contract, and that Mrs.
Lindsey will not do so, there being
no contract to that effect? Nothing
of the sort. In fact, in actual prac-
tice. the word does not mean any
thing at all.
Particulars have been received of
the suicide of a farmer eight miles
north of Pettibone, Kidder county.
Ed. Nelson, about thirty, was found
on the floor OF his shack, dead, hav-
ing shot himself with revolver. A
note on the table left his farm of a
half-section. clear, to the son of his
brother, Henry of Sykeston, Wells
county. Also checks to pay all the
debts OF the deceased were left. He
said he had seen God three times in
vision, once in the old country,
and for his brother TO live as the
Almighty would like him 10. He
was last seen alive the day before,
when he went to the barn to care
for his horses. Neighbors eighty

to out-yieid the ordinary six-rowed

HOME RULE CONFERENCE
Fly F. I. MONKS

In an evil hour England planted the seed of discord in Ireland and today the tree bears fruit Mir Gladstone twice attempted to chop down that tree and would have succeeded had he not been attacked by all the birds of prey that found lodgment among its branches and by all the rodents that had burrowed among it's roots. Today Mir. Asquith finds himself confronted with the same opponents, but this time the tree is about to fall, hence we hear all the screaming and squealing and bowling of the dwellers in and under that upas.
 The whole story can he told in com two years ago a measure called the Irish home rule bill was introduced fin the House of Commons. The bill could be more properly called a con stitution, because it's purpose was to create a lawmaking body in Ireland to make laws for the government of Ireland, but subject to the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain. In this home rule bill every precaution had been taken to protect the rights of all who would come under it's influence, but while it protected the rights of all 1t showed special favor to none The nationalists in Ireland, and they are so per cent of the population, accepted the bill. but the other 20 per cent of the population objected to it because they We're and are the officeholders, the hirelings and the henchmen of the hirelings.' The history of the progress of the bill through Parliament is well known, and today 1t only awaits the Kings signat ture to go on the statute book
 From the moment the home rule bill was introduced in the House of Com mons to the present moment the oppo- sition to 1t has been extremely bitter and this opposition under the leader ship of Sir Edward Carson, has gone to the extent of threatening to cause civil war not only In Ireland, but in Great Britain. In order to placate the opponents of the home rule bill there was another bill drafted by Mr. As- quith, but introduced in the House of Lords, the purpose of the second bill
 
 to vote itself out of the influence of the original home rule bill. There are nine counties in Ulster and not more than four of them would vote them selves out and even these four were very uncertain in that respect But that did not suit Sir Edward Carson and his followers; they demanded that the whole province of Ulster with its nine counties be cut off from Ireland or else they would fight. Bear in mind, this is Sir Edward carson's threat to Great Britain. tomcat's threat to tiger
 Rather than crush the tomcat the tiger has patiently borne with it's splitting and growing until the world has come to think that the tiger is scared, but Mr Tom had better beware. If the day ever comes. and that day may be closer at hand than people think, there won't be left of Sir Edward Carson and his volunteers enough to hold the pro- verbal inquest over. They are playing

their game like men by desperation
 made desperate and they are almost
 certain to land themselves where such
 gamblers eventually land, but that's their concern.
 As a last resort. and 1t looks like a last resort, we have the proceedings that are taking place in London today, the outcome of which will soon be known, although at present impossible to foretell. Issues far graver than
 home rule are in the balance and this is an occasion. if ever there was one, for courage. If. when the conference
 meets on Wednesday, MT. Asquith were to present the home rule bill to the King for his signature, throw the amending bill into the waste basket and order the army and navy to get ready for immediate action the whole ques- ton would be solved or else 1t would lprecipitate a situation that is certain
 to arise later and be attended with worse consequences. In the presence
 of firm and determined purpose to crush down any attempt at civil war
 or oven rioting, the Ulster volunteers and their leader, Sir Edward Carson, will quietly retire As a matter of fact all this Ulster volunteer movement Is a
 work cd up, frothy agitation, having no
 real foundation. What does the mere fact of some fanatic scrawllng No 1ODeIA III TIE tndlk lctltTS on u bIlNN wall amount to? Any fool can shout

 Nothing will come of this conference except added confusion. These men whose names appear as being invited to confer are more personal than politi- cal enemies. Wounds made by swords heal sooner than wounds made by words. and these are the wounds that Sir Edward Carson and his party have inflicted upon their opponents. The
 home rule bill offers every security and | prot ection to all that man holds dear and to say that GCent Britain would allow oppression or Injustice to be done to, the minority in Ireland is simply ridiculous. There must be no perma nent severance of any part of Ireland, If there's man in Ireland whose soul is so dead as not to be proud of his

UNITED STATES MAY ]. INTERVENE IN HAITI
American Minister to Haiti COnfers With Secre-
 tary Bryan

Washington, July 21.-Armed interven- ton by the United States in Haiti was , discussed today by administration off cials upon the receipt of dispatches from diplomatic agents, saving great losses would be suffered in the island republic by the ravages of revolution.
 No active steps had been taken to- night, but the situation had advanced to a point where, under pressure from European powers, a movement of marines already mobilized at Guantanamo into Haiti and perhaps the Dominican repub- lie was among the possibilities.
 Secretary Bryan would say no more than that troops had not yet been asked for by the state department. No arrange ments have been made for augmentine the force at Guantanamo by any of the marines and troops at Vera Cruz.
 Minister Menos, of Haiti, called or President Wilson today ostensibly to pre- sent his credentials, but bringing official dispatches from his foreign office depre- eating intervention on the part of the United States and representing that Haiti's credit was good, that it had met it's international obligations and that nc foreigners had been harmed.
 Whethes foreign pressure had reached point demanding action by the United States to force upon Haiti some measure of control of finances to insure meeting obligations, state department officials de- clned today to say. Little hope that the revolution and brigandage can be sup pressed by the island government is held by officials here.
 James NJ. Sullivan. American minister to the Dominican republic, conferred with Secretary Bryan at his home tonight There was no indication whether he would return to his post, as there have been rumors that he intended to resign on account of disagreement with state department officials.
