FORTY ACRES
OF FINE CORN
DIR. HAGAN HAS FORTY ACRES
OF EXCELLENT NORTHWEST.
ERN DENT CORN

DR.. Hagan has forty acres of north
western dent corn on his farm just
west of town of which the doctor is
justly proud. We had the pleasure Of
looking over the entire field yester-
day afternoon with the doctor and
found the corn uniform throughout the
field. We picked ears at random in
our trip over the field and they were
all very large and the seed appeared
to be very fine. The doctor has been
three years in developing this corn
but gives the credit for the excellent
yield and quality this year more to
the cultivation than to the fact that
they were three years in getting this
grade. The field was cultivated five
times and he claims that this had
much to do with the rapid develop
ment Of the corn and its consequent
early ripening.

FAIR PRIZES
WORTH WHILE
MANAGER GILBREATH WANTS
FARMERS ALL OVER STATE TO
SEND THEIR VERY BEST

One farmer who exhibited at the
State Exposition in Bismarck last
year took away over $50 in cash pre-
miums for his grain and vegetables.
Others were awarded premiums that
were valued at much more than the
above amount, but were in the form
of merchandise. What the Exposition
management wants most is the indi-
vidual exhibitor, who takes pride in
displaying the products Of his farm.
These kind of entries in numbers
means success to the Exposition.
Manager Gilbreath wishes to empha-
size the fact that he wants the farm
ers all over the state to prepare their
best samples Of sheaf and threshed
grain, grasses, corn on the cob and
in stalk; vegetables, etc. Anyone
who has anything in the line Of pro-
ducts of the farm that he or she is
proud Of, ca nexhibit the same for
S1.00. A person can enter all classes
for the same fee of $1.O0. For in
stance, sheaf Of grain or grasses,
peck of anything, 10 ears Of corn,
the required number of vegetables,
etc., can all be entered for the total
of $l.OO The new premium list, CIV
ing the official number of prizes, is
off the press and will be mailed out
over the entire state. Here are a
few Of the big prizes offered to coun-
ties which have booth displays: First,
$500; second, $500; third, $500; in
addition to these the Northern Pa
cifc Railway company offers: First,
$3.50; second, $1O0, and third, $50;
thereby making it possible for coun-
ty to capture one prize og $3.50. The
railroads will also transport exhibits
to and from the exposition free of
charge, and then give a reduced fare
to and from Bismarck for those at
tending the exposition. This is very
liberal and all or more than one could
ask.
Some farmer is going to win fine
prize as the Bull Tractor Company of
Minneapolis has offered bull trac-
tor to the person exhibiting the larg-
est variety of grain raised on 16O
acres. This tractor is valued at
1895.
To insure prompt delivery, write w.
C. Gilbreath, Commissioner for one of
these lists and it will be mailed with
out delay and an entry blank enclosed.

MISSED SUNNY ~ !,
SIDE OF LIFE
ROY SENTENCED TO REFORM
SCHOOL ONE OF WORLDS
UNFORTUNATES ~

Dewey Barnes, a seventeen year old
boy pied guilty the first of the week
to a grand larceny charge and was
sentenced to the reform school by
Judge Fisk. The boy said he wanted
to 20 to the school where he hoped to
be able to learn something and where
he wanted to have chance to improve
in his drawing. He appears to be
deeply interested in this notwithstand-
ing the fact that he has crippled
right arm.
The Barnes boy was born in Rem
Vile county Minnesota, in 1897 and
was seventeen years old the tenth of
this month. His mother died when he
was but little lad and he says he
don't know whether his father is dead
or alive as he left long ago. The boy
has two sisters and seven brothers
but had to shift for himself. About
two years ago he was sent for by
Minnesota farmer where he was to be
kept for his work. The farmer work.
ed the boy in the field pitching bum
dies and doing other hard work until
his right arm and shoulder became
sore. The arm got worse and finally
became useless and shrunk up until
he has very little use of his arm or
hand.
The boy has been in Williston twice,
and came here the last time in Aug
ust 1913. When in town he did not
seem to have any place to seek and
was allowed to bunk in the Malloy
Machine house. Coming in one night
he found the shack locked and in hunt
ing around for a place to asleep he
noticed the canvass covering which
Contractor Harding used to cover the
sidewalks with when finishing them
up. The boy appreciated this canvass
and took it to shed where he used it
for bed and covering. About three
weeks later the police found the can
vass and the boy when accused Of
taking it admitted the fact and thus
came into the hands Of the law. He
has been in Jail for some time and
when his hearing came up the first of
the week he appeared willing and anx-
ious to go to the reform school where
he said he hoped to be able to learn
something that would help him along
in life after he was dismissed from
that institution. The boy has been
up against it from the first and has
never had chance to enjoy his boy
hood days as boys should. It is to be
hoped however that he learns some
trade while at the school that will
enable him to see little more Of the
sunny side of life in the future.

APPROPRIATE MUSIC AN IMPOR.
TANT FACTOR .....a

Did you ever realize what an i'm
portant factor music is to the produc-
ton of any drama? How a situation,
climax is intensified, how sadness is
made more sad, comedy more comical
by the accompaniment Of good music =?
The orchestra carried by the "Hans
Hanson Co." is one any theatre might
justly envy. The intermissions be-
tween acts, every climax Of the piece
and all the piece and all the special
ties are made the most of by the
splendid art of the magnificent orches-
ira.
The band will give band concerts
twice daily on the day Of the show
here.

Paul DeFrein, who was arrested by
Chief Nolan upon request Of Medicine
Hat authorities was turned loose a
few days ago. Nolan held DeFrein

INDIA TROOPS
THROUGH CANADA
NINETY TRAIN LOADS OF EAST
INDIA SOLDIERS THROUGH
CANADA TO WAR

Toronto, Sept. 12.-Ninety train
loads of Sikh and Ghoorka soldiers,
Numbering 100000, the flower of the
native East Indian army of Great
Britain, have been passing through
Toronto and North Bay, bound for
which is merely the vanguard of fur
ther troops from India, sailed from
Quebec, on the Megantic, on Satur-
day, August 20, and landed in Liver
pool last Sunday morning. The re-
mainder proceeded across the Atlantic
on special transports and some of
them are now in mid-ocean.
, Movement Kept Secret
4 This remarkable movement carried
out on such colossal scale, was kept
absolutely secret by the development
of militia and defense, and not word
beyond few rumors was allowed to
reach the ears of the public. The
army entered Canada at Vancouver
and took five days to cross the conti-
nent on special trains and departed at
!, Quebec without any person, except the
chief militia and transport officers,
knowing of it. The facts of the story
as set forth here were confirmed yes
terday by British army officers who
accompanied the Hindu brigades. Sec
recy would still be maintained were
not the transports we'll out of reach of
any German cruisers lurking in Allan
tic waters.
With blinds drawn on all trains as
they passed through inhabited areas
no fewer than 90 long sections Of
coaches crossed Canada without the
identity of their passengers becoming
known. Reaching Vancouver on Aug
ust "a on fleet Of transports char
tered in India by the British govern
ment. the men were placed on Cana
dian Pacific trains at the docks. The
newcomers were taken several miles
out of the city, where they rested for
part Of day.
Troop Trains Given Right of Way
All regular freight and passenger
: trains were cleared from the line, Civ
ing the troop trains right of way. At
point in Alberta, for some reason at
present not known, the Canadian Nor
thern tracks were followed for more
than 10000 miles. Then the train re-
entered the Canadian Pacific system

ALLIES FORCING
GERMANS BACK
CLAIMED GERMANS ARE IN RE-
TREAT ALONG ENTIRE FRONT
LEFT HOLDING BEST

The right and center Of the German
army of invasion in France is grad
ually withdrawing, but the left wing
is stoutly resisting the advance of the
allies, according to the best obtainable
information.
The German Crown Prince appears
to be holding his own in the vicinity
of Verdun. The capture by the Ger
mans of fortified position southwest
of Verdun and the battle between
Paris and the river Marne is describ-
ed in a report from German headquar-
ters and also noted earlier press dis
patches.
The British statement reviews the
operations of the British in France
from Sept. 4 to 10, but reveals moth
ing new.
Reports concerning the fighting in
Russian Poland and Galicia are con-
flicting. 1t appears that the Aus
trians have met very serious reverses,
but continued struggles establish that
they have not been completely over
whelmed by the Russians.
Still less is known of the operations
in East Prussia, according to advices
from Petrograd the Russian army is
the capital, Koenigsberg, but official
advices two days ago stated the Rus
sian forces were bombarding Koeings-
berg.
According to British reports the
initial success of General Hingenberg
in East Prussia, which has been ad-
mitted in Petrograd, was followed by
further German triumphs to the south
of Koenigsberg.
Washington, Sept. 14.-Official rec
ords from American military observ-
ers in France confirmed other reports
of the advance Of the Allied armies
and the general retreat of the Ger
mans call along the line" The fee.-
ing of confidence in the success Of the
allies is so we'll spread that within a
ardius of fifty Kilometres of Paris
refugees who deserted the village and
towns for fear of an attack are now
returning to their homes.

SADIE MATHEWS
KILLED FRIDAY
WELL KNOWN RESIDENT OF
STATE MEETS DEATH WHEN
HORSE RUNS AWAY

Larimore, N. D., Sept. 11.-Miss
Sadie P. Mathews daughter of the late
COL J. H. Mathews, one of the best
known pioneers of North Dakota, and
herself resident of the state since
she was 2 years old, was instantly
killed here this morning near the
Great Northern station.
Miss Mathews, as was her usual
custom, drove into Larimore from the
New York farm with can Of cream
for shipment. She was driving frac-
tious colt and asked Thos. H. Mon
roe, who chanced to be standing on
the platform, to hold the horse.
Just as Miss Mathews reached the
ground the animal became frightened
and Miss Mathews grasped the lines,
while Monroe held onto the bit. The
animal plunged and reared, dragging
the couple about forty feet. Miss
Mathews was knocked down and fell
between the front and back legs Of
the plunging horse, and was fatally
kicked, death being instantaneous.
Miss Mathews was one Of the best
lorsewomen in the northwest. Her
father, who was member of the state
constitutional convention, died last
February and since that time Miss
Mathews has had the entire manage
ment of the famous New York farm
Of 1900 acres. She has won prizes
for stock and agricultural exhibits all
over the northwest. She was born at
Newburg, N. Y, in 1881 and came to
Dakota territory when she was 2
years old.
