life and liberty. The declaration Of
Judge Gage is a splendid enunciation
of this principle. | wish some case
would occur giving him an opportun-
ity to define with the same clear in
sight, just what the constitution means
10y projecting citizen in the owner
ship OF property. Does it include the
use of that property, or does it mean
merely physical possession If re-
stricted to mere physical possession.
then the constitutional guarantee is
hollow mockery. for combinations of
capital can cOntiscate the profits and
thereby deprive me of my property by
destroying its use.
All of these questions must be fin
ally adjudicated in the courts Of the
land. ! feel that this worldwide war
is the end of one epoch in the science
of government and finance. The ulti-
mate aim OF true democracy is to
give to each individual his just rights
and no more. This must involve an
equitable division Of the burdens of
organized society, as we'll as the bene-
fits.
"A situation like the present offers
a fertile field for money and power
to farten at the expense of weakness
and poverty. The farmers cannot
bear. without destruction, the entire
burden of this situation. 1t must be
distributed over the entire body poll
tic, and there is no force strong
enough to curb money and it's power,
save organized government This is
the logical sequence of the statement
the whole policy Of the state is bound
up in the growing, the sale and the
manufacture Of cotton"
What grand conception of gov
ernment it is, to stand strong; curbing
human greed and protecting human
weakness. DO not be deceived; the
entire world is deeply interested in
sible price. They intend you to
shoulder the entire loss on this crop
and let you make another one if you
can. The more cotton you make, the
less you get. If one-half OF the cotton
crop were destroyed, the portion left
would sell for more than the whole
Why is it that as soon as Liverpool
and New York settled their straddle
contracts that the exchange opened? :?
They are knocking the price down
every day. Why does not the stock
exchange open? Because it would
lower the price of stocks and bonds.
These are held by capitalists, while
cotton is held by the Southern farmer.
These capitalists wish to use high
priced stocks, through the regional re-
serve system, to get money to buy
G-cent cotton in the South. Cotton in
Europe is now worth 20 cents per
pound. If'they can get your cotton
at cenrs, they will make the biggest
KILN ever seen. Any government
that will stand for such infamy and
not hold out a protecting hand to the
producers is unworthy the support of
an honest man.
If l had the warehouse system that
I pleaded with the legislature for one
year ago. | would be opening up direct
trade with Manchester and establish
ing stable price for cotton.
THE only remedy is to warehouse
your cotton, and get money on the
receipts to ease up your creditors. If
YOU will plant grain, raise stock and
produce no cotton in 1915, you will get
the benefit Of war prices later

Somber Regions Of the Sky IIumEnzt,
ed by Reflections From Our
Own Planet.

; 1t has been remarked that the globu4
lar light from the whole sky is SUI
perior to the SUM of all the quantities
of light sent to US separately by the
stars. Even the most somber regions
seem lit by a difrused light which truly
has its origin in the terrestrial almost
iphere. 1t Is the light Of the earth,
different people have endeavored I'd
leValuate the intensity of this earth
light and have found that 1t is Of the
order of one-tenth part of the intensity
of a star Of the first order of magni,
tude.
1t Is attributed, at least partially, to
a permanent aurora borealis which il
revealed by the characteristic green
ray which is observed ON obscure
nights in the whole heavens. There is
probably something else; the contin.
nal b~ombardment Of the upper atmos.
'phere by meteorie swarms and cosmic
dust may also illuminate. The mass
Of meteoric matter which would suf
fee to explain the observed phenome
ma has been calculated and the figure
found is in good agreement with thai
given by a direct calculation Of the
quantity OF cosmic matter which

NOT HARD TO TEST DIAMOND
Simple Methods by Which the 0snu.
Inc May Be Distinguished From
Tho Artificial.

M~arvelously beautiful as are the imt
tation diamonds of today, ar expert
enced eye never mistakes them for the
genuine article.
The average person, however, can
easily be deceived, and the following
simple tests should assist him when
striking a bargain. The facets ON q
real diamond are rarely so regular az
those Of really good limitations. With
the latter the greatest care has to be
taken in grinding and polishing, 30
that there shall be no regularity in
the reflections of the light.
A file cannot scratch a real diamond,
but quickly INJURIES an imitation. A
sapphire Ia the next hardest stone to
a diamond and ts an even better te6t
than the file.
Thrust a diamond ring into o bowl
Of water and the stones will glitter
through the liquid, but an imitation
stone loses all its brilliancy under Wa
ter. II you look through a diamond
at a black dot on a piece Of white pa
per you will see one black speok quite
clearly. II the dot Is blurred or null
tiplied the stone is probably not gen.
uine.
Place n drop of water upon the
face Of a diamond, touch it with a
point of a penci-the drop will keep
its globule form and the stone remain
dry. If the brilliant is an imitation
the water at once spreads out.

At Dickinson the rain fell in tor
rents for a short time, and in only a
few minutes the streets were filled
with water. In many sections the
floods rose above the sidewalks, filling
Easements and doing considerable
damage. Lightning struck the tele-
phone cable and put a large number
of phones out of use. Small buildings
were blown down and other damage
done.

HEAVY RAIN STORM DID
BIG DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
BUT BENEFITED THE CROPS

Minot, n. D., June 5. - With an
estimated loss Of approximately $l2,-
900, Minot endured one of the worst
rain storms last evening which has
struck the city in years. flooding both
the residence and commercial districts,
choking the city sewers, outlying the
streets and converting many thorough
fare into Veritable rivers.
According to the local weather bu-
reau, the rainfall up to noon today
was AZ inches, a tremendous amount
of water. And while these figures are
proof of the storm, the consequent in
jury done is explained when 1t is
known that over half that amount fell
within one hour after the heavy part
of the storm began.
The storm began with a light driz-
zle about $3.50 p. m, which changed
rapidly into a torrent about an hour
later, and in thirty minutes after the
heavy downfall began, the greatest
damage had been dOne throughout the
city. The heaviest loss was due to
the choking Of a 36-inCh drain pipe at
the lower end Of the Jarvis street
east coulee which was sending down
a river of water at the time. Weeds,
gravel and debris became matted over
the half dozen intake gratings at the
sewer n and flushed the flow OF
water through the Ward street dis
trict and into many residences in that
section {. the city.
River Raging.
The Mouse river which was not
above normal Yesterday, soon became
a raging torrent, backed up below the
city and filed dozens of cellars to the
first floor in the north side Of town.
While the river is still within its
banks, the damage occurring was not
slight, out the danger is practically
passed with the cessation of the
heavy part Of the storm early this
morning.
Several large business houses in the
city suffered severely from the flood
ing of their cellars and stores. Sew
eral feet of water backed up through
the drain pipe in the cellar of the MI
not Grocery Co.. and injured some
goods piled in the basement, includ-
ing bales Of peanuts and some canned
goods. Had the water remained any
length of time the loss WOULD have been
heavy, but luckily, say the company
0ficials, little was injured, the dam
aa e amounting to perhaps 800.

SPECIAL COURSE
IN GEOGRAPHY

Grand Forks, N. D., June 5.-The de-
partment of geology of the state uni
versity will offer this summer field
courses in North Dakota geology and
geography, as part of the regular work
of the university summer session.
These courses will be in charge OF
Prof. H. 2. Simpson, assistant state
geologist, and the field selected is the
vicinity Of Devils Lake; with tto,d head
station located there. This field has
been selected on account of the ex-
ceptional opportunities there offered
for the study Of glacial deposits, lake
ice and wave built islands and the
young drainage of a blaciated region
with numerous recent changes. They
afford opportunities for North Dakot
teachers and students to study nature
first hand within the borders of their
home state and on historic grounds. A
survey will be made of the state bird
reserve and trips taken to Sully,s Hill
National park, Fort Totten Indian
school, and to Stump lake. The aim is
to promote greater first hand know
ledge and better teaching of these sub
jects, together with a deeper interest
in the physical features and natural
of the state and a keener in
sight into the influence of these upon
it's historical and economic develop
ment.
10 accommodate all dppllCdELS, GFo-
fessor Simpson will give two courses.
The first will be in general physio-
graphy for which there are no pre-
requisites, except hat of high school
graduation. The second is a course in
field geology, intended for students
and teachers who have an elementary
knowledge of photography or GEOLOGY
such as is obtained in one year of COL
lege work. On account of requests
from various teachers in high schools
of the state and students of the uni
versity, courses will also be given here
in the biological sciences in the labor
atory of the station which is equipped
with apparatus we'll adapted to sum-
mer work. Students who are success
full in completing the full requirements
in these courses will be given credit
which will count on the work for their
bachelors degree from the university of
North Dakota.

all, overturned the mirrors and filled
the shop three feet with water. A
patron, being shaved, climbed out OF
the chair with half his beard still on
his face, and rushed to safety. This
loss vas about 800.
The heaviest loss ascertained so far,
was incurred in the Virginia flats on
Ward street, the water from the Cou-
lee which could not enter the big
drain, sweeping it's way into the base"
ment flats Of the apartment house and
filling the rooms to the depth Of about
five feet. One of the occupants es-
capped with her child and left all her
clothes, furniture and valuables to
loaf about in the water. The occu
pants of these flats were Howard Han
cock, H. c. Tooley, w. S. Stevenson
and Fred Sehneringer, each of them
sustaining an approximate loss of
from 1000 to 1900, while the dam
age to the building amounted to about
81, 500.
The Rogers Lumber Co. was the
next heaviest loser with the approx
mate loss Of close to $4,000, mostly
in their mill and offices. The plant
is in a low place and the rush Of
water flooded the offices to the top,
badly damaging documents, furniture
ana once Equipment. Inc mlIl work
was badly soaked, adding greatly to
the loss, while several carloads of
piled lumber are ruined.
Railroad Tracks Quilted.
The 500 railroad tracks suffered a
slight washOut and the road bed on
both lines was badly quilted in places.
The damage in the district to the two
roads has not been estimated, but
probably including the labor of filing
will amount toward 81, 900.
The city department itself will be
put to some expense in filling the gull
lies and cuts made in several streets,
the hill end of Second street west,
having a channel cut down and
through it, which is several feet deep
in places. Sidewalks are undermined
along Jarvis and Ward streets and
the gravel roadWays are badly wash
ed. The contractors in charge of the
last sewer n drainage work will be
put to considerable expense in refill
ing and grading where the streets
have sunk from the flowing water
over the new sewers.
Many houses along Ward street and
Jarvis street were flooded in the base

cottages on Jarvis street being filled

from the s~portsnlen of this locality
regarding the game question. A num-
Der Of local sportsmen made remarks
and the consensus of opinion was that
there should be a later opening of the
season for ducks, the majority favor
ing Oct. l.. Some thought the chicken
season should be opened later, pro
yided adjoining states would set the
dates back to correspond. There was
also a sentiment favoring an open
season on beaver n some complaints
of damage to trees by colonies of bea-
vers were made to the board.
Local sportsmen were greatly inter
