NO CHANCE FOR
FLOOD ON RED

Grand Forks Herald: That there Is
small chance for the Red River of the
North to rise high enough to cause any
real damage, Is the declaration made
by Prof. e. F. Chandler of the state
university, engineer in this district for
the United States Geological Survey,
Professor Chandler has been keeping
close watch on the river lately, receiv-
ing daily reports. The recent rains
have caused the Red river to rise sew
eral inches here n at Fargo, how
ever, but the change has not been az
great as was expected.
Some Of the tributaries of the Red
river have come up also, while others
have gone down. Tile indications at
the present time show that the water
mark will be lowered instead OF rais-
ed.
Professor Chandler spent the past
week in the western part OF this state
and in northern South Dakota, return-
ing to the city Monday morning. He
states that he was held up at several
points or account Of floods. He was
at Mandan and he says that the
Heart river has one of the biggest
volumes Of water this year in the his
tory Of the state. He says that 1t is
doubtful whether the Mandan chau-
tauqua can be held for some time, az
there Is three inches of water on the
ground there. 49,
Professor Chandler went out west In
the interests Of the government sur
vey. He took measurements on the
Cannon Ball, the Heart and the Grand
rivers.

PROFESSOR SHAW
IS AFTER STOCK

A number of years ago, Jas. J.. Hill
made an experiment by introducing
into the northwest a large number Of
thoroughbred bulls, which he dis
trihUted free of charge to farmers. The
experiment was not entirely a success,
because the farmers were her so we'd
dcd to the one crop idea that they
would not bother with CATTLE"
Mr.. Hill has decided to try again,
however n last night Prof. Thos.
Shaw, after a trip over North Dakota
where he spoke on diversified farming
subjects, left for England for the pur-
pose of buying thirty shorthorn bulls
that will be distributed throughout the
northwest.
Professor Shaw is employed by the
Great Northern n the Northern
Pacific as an expert in agriculture and
he believes that the time is now ripe
to get the northwest thoroughly i'm
bued with the livestock idea. The *
pertinent will be watched with the
keenest interest and, because the
farmers are now interested in stock
raising, it will undoubtedly be very
much of a success.

In the case of the state against F.
C.. Carey, the GAINESVILLE potato man,
on one count Of an indictment return
ed against him by the last grand jury,
the defense, early yesterday afternoon,
created a surprise by the
ment that it had rested. Without any
delay the arguments were proceeded
with and were finished before the ad-
Journment Of the court for the day.
The charge to the jury was delivered
by Judge Parsons the first thing this
morning and at 2:30 o'clock this after
noon the jury was still celebrating it's

many people If the jury disagreed.

A BUGGY Whip
and A CHAIR
Two questions. please:

dNSSL4SAAOg a.
what is the relation of a kitchen
chair to a lions temper.
And when Is a buggy whip more eff
fective than a rifle.
The answer? It's simple. For those
two things are the real means Of tam
ing lions-or tigers, either, for that
understanding to Capt. Dutch Re-
cardo, the famous animal tanner who
is to appear with his trained beasts
Of the jungle with the Sells-F1oto
Circus and Buffalo Bill (himself) due
to appear here Friday July 10.
Talk to Capt. Dutch Ricardo, and
he will tell you that there are really
just two things in the world with
which to train wild animals-a 10-cent
buggy whip and a kitchen chair. And
Capt. Dutch Ricardo should know. He
has been training animals for thirty
years.
Perhaps you didn't know it," he
said once at the winter quarters of
the Sells-Floto Circus, but the real
thing that makes an animal fighting
mao is fear. Make an animal afraid of
you and he'll fight you. He'll kill,
you, too, If he gets the chance. Make
him feel at home and he's your friend.
That's why I have only a buggy whip
and a kitchen chair. 1t make the ami
mails feel at home"
Incidentally, Captain Ricardo and
his wonderful methods Of animal
training are to form only one Of the
features Of the Sells F1oto-Buffalo
Bill aggregation.
More than thousand persons are in
cluded in the making Of the great
program. Forty OF them are clowns,
while hundreds Of a%crobats, eQuestri-
ennes, Indians and riders and ropers
are included. OF course, there will be
a parade at 1890 the morning of the
show, with Berni's Giant Serenadum
and the wonderful Vocalina, while at
the head of the great two mile long
spectacle. will be Buffalo, Bill himself.
Americas best beloved citizen, who
will lead the parade as a special honor
to this city. AS to the show itself,
the price remains 25 cents. There is
a seating capacity of $4,000.

CUPID BATTLES
EUGENICS Law

Dan Cupid is working against tre-
mendous odds in Fargo. At least the
results of his work r not as apparent
as formerly. The newly fashioned
armor that resists his little darts-the
only thing yet devised against which
arrows are ineffective-is the North
Dakota eugenics marriage law, which
went into effect July 1, 1918.
May and June are the months when
Cupid takes his greatest toll. Last
year he totalled twenty-three mar
riages in May and 1fty-one in June,
according to the clerk of the county
court, Jack Wier, who issues the Ii
censes. This year only eight licenses
were granted in May and but twenty
nine in June.
