Topeka, June 20.-The Kansas
wheat harvest Ia about one-thlro
completed.
Until threshing starts there is no
way to tell the probable yield OF the
wheat, but the estimates exceeding
$50 million bushels, are not far OIL
The country papers print nnmer-
GUS stories this week OF farmers
cutting their wheat and believing y
will 20 80, 40 and some even ev
bushels to the acre. The grain y
unusually large but not IS hard %
usual, owing to the wet weatner
iust as the grain was ripentng.
The grain may harden up some.
Everyone reports that the crop =
more than up to expectations and
the railroads representatives and
country paper paragraphers indicate
that the yield will exceed the suesses
generally. u.
Several threshing machines IN
the southern part OF the state NAYS
steamed up and pulled out to the
fields, but none has started thresh-
ing the crop in this state thus far.
The threshers probably WILL begin
Monday morning.
Reports received from Osbornes
Norton and other counties In the
northwestern part Of the state TO-
day by the state free employment
; bureau indicate that the general
harvest will not begin before June
25, and some reports said July !.
The farmers are hiring the HANDS

Geo. Berzel, has secured a long time
lease of the first floor of the Odd
Fellows building on First Avenue

improvements as soon as the store is
entirely vacated. The floor will be
elevated so that all patrons may have
the best of view. The front is to be
remodeled so as to provide better
means Of handling of crowds. This
will also be repainted and provided
with extra lights. The seating ca
pacity to start with will be 242. Ex-
ceptionally comfortable seats have
been ordered and should be here in a
few days. Music will be- furnished
by new electrical orchestral piano
similar to the one in use at the Bijou
theatre. "A modern motion picture
machine has been ordered, which is
to be operated by Louis Hager.
Mr.. Gfrerer n p intends to have
everything first-class and to give a
fine clean show. He hopes to be able
to open about the first Of December.

FOR THE BELGIUM
RELIEF FUND

The Dickinson Roller Mill Co. offers
to sell 49-pound sacks of flour at $1.O0
per sack for the Belgium relief fund.
This flour, while not first grade,
makes a good wholesome bread and
at the price offered, gives everybody
a chance to send at least one sack
of flour to the hungry Belgians.
Clarence Fisher, manager, suggests
that everybody who feels like giving
a sack of flour leave the dollar with
the Dickinson Commercial Club. Pres.
Alf. White or Secretary John Orchard
will take the money, and as soon as
$1OO is in hand a shipment will be
made. The N. P. will accept ship
ments in 100 sack lots and transport
same free Of charge to Philadelphia.
Here is a chance to contribute to a
worthy cause. Let's show the world
that Dickinson people are ready with
good sized -four shipment.

DICKINSON BOILING WORKS
IN NEW BUILDING

The Dickinson Bottling Works ma
chinery in the company's new build
ing on West Willard Street, was
started up this week. Everything ap-
pears to be running smoothly and
Herman Rabe is much pleased with
his new home.
The boiler is in the basement, leav-
ing the entire first floor for an office
in front and the bottling works in
back. A new bottle washing machine,
with capacity of $50 bottles per hour,
has been installed. It is the latest
model machine and cleans the bottles
perfectly.
An elevated room on the east side
is used for the mixture of syrups.
The repair room is on the north end
of the second floor, leaving the south
end for fiat.
The Dickinson Bottling Works is
the largest and practically the only
institution of it's kind west Of the
Missouri river. Mr.. Rabe gets good
trade all over southwestern North
Dakota and in eastern Montana which
is also in his territory. A north and
south railroad would be a great help
to his business. His plant has ca
pacity of 400 cases per day and is
therefore able to supply a large terri
tory.
Herman Rabe's success In business
is due to close application to his work
and giving the trade first-class goods

MOUTH AND HOOP
! DISEASE SPREADS

Some 16 states are now under quar-
antine for mouth and hoof disease.
This includes North and South Da-
kota and Montana. Canada, Rhode
Island, Delaware and some of the
southern states are in the list.
Deceased cattle were found at the
Mandan yards last week and the
first of this week DR.. R. H. Tracey
and other federal inspectors caused
los head of blooded cattle to be de-
stroyed at Glendive.
AS far as known there are no sus-
poets in this part of North Dakota.
The trouble seems to be mostly with
blooded stock from eastern states.
stroyed at the Union Stock yards the
were used to fill up the trenches into
which $4,000 worth of cattle and
$4,000 worth of hogs were dumped.
The whole were buried in 400 barrels
Of quicklime five feet under ground.
An effort is being made to save
prize stock which have the disease in
a mild form. Experts are on hand
from the Rockefeller Institute and
from Johns Hopkins University to
make personal observation and locate
| if possible the germ causing the dis
ease.
For the first time since the stock
yards at Chicago were opened in
1865 there was not a single slaugh-
ter animal-pig, sheep or steer-in
the yards this week.
4s.All stock cars are being fumigated
and the government hopes to stamp
out the disease within a few weeks.
1T will be noted from the following
letter that horses cannot be shipped
into Montana:
!. Bismarck, N. D., November 1O,1914.
DIR. H. Anderson,
Dickinson, N. D.
Since sending out the letter refer
ring to the shipment of live stock on
account of the existence of foot-and-
mouth disease, 1 have received a
proclamation issued by the Governor
Of Montana. This proclamation pro-
hibits the shipment of live stock of
every description into the state of
Montana. The states of Wyoming,
South Dakota and Minnesota up to
this time prohibit the admission of
cattle, sheep or swine, and do not re-
fer to other animals.
| Up to this time we have been ad-
vised by the U. S. Secretary Of Agri-
culture that the following states have
been quarantined on account of foot
and mouth disease: Illinois, Indiana,
I sassaf lAnd, Michigan, New York, Pen
nsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Massachusetts. The shipment of
swine and ruminents into these states
is prohibited.

LYRIC THEATRE HAS
SPECIALLY FINE ORCHESTRA

The music played by the Lyric
theatre orchestra is receiving much
favorable comment Of late. 1t GER
tainly is a fine musical organization
and Manager Willis should be COM
plimented upon the fine programs
given each evening and matinee. 1t
is made up of four members, each an
artist in his line. AS musicians they
are as good as can be found in the
cities and certainly play well to-
gether. The very best Of music is
played by this talented group which
adds greatly to the entertainments
of this popular theatre. The value Of
their music to the pictures is exceed
ingly great as all the music is always
in time and harmony with the scene
and makes the feeling more intense:
Though the pictures in themselves
are fine, the addition Of this musical
body gives them double value. :

THE VIM. HI. BROWN & co.
WRITE TIMELY LETTER.
In View of the Many Disastrous
Prairie Fires the Past Weekathe
Following Letter Seems Timely.
Mott, November S, 191

Mott, November S, 1914.
The Press You should urge
every farmer to break out at least
six burrows two rods in from the
section lines, thus marking out his
land, then he could burn between the
burrows and in that way have some
little protection against prairie fires.
In doing this he also marks out the
roadway and makes the country look
more like people were desirous of
living here and doing things in a
systematic and good farmer-like way.
BY marking out his land it makes a
more attractive looking place. 1t
makes his farm look better and gig
ger, and besides it helps to protect
him and his family, live stock, build
ings, hay and grain, against loss by
prairie fires.
You can drive out from most any
of the towns in this district and find
that there are very few farmers who
have any fire guards plowed around
their buildings, yet they are warned
every fall and every spring and some
Of them are burned out. l cannot
understand why the farmer is SO care
less and thoughtless of his own best
interests and that of his family and
future prosperity. We have been
ring all our customers to make
sort of fire guards.
Besides, the burning of the prairie
every year or SO takes some Of the
substance from the soil, keeps back
Vegetation and makes the hay crop
short, so surely prairie fires are al
together undesirable and unprofit-
able.
Yours very truly,
VIM. I'll. BROWN COMPANY.

APPRAISAL OF SCHOOL
Land ORDERED IN STARK
CO. START next WEEK

The Board of University and School
Lands of North Dakota has author
lied an appraisal of certain school
lands in Stark county. The list in
cludes 176 different tracts, or about
one-half the school lands of the
county.
The action of the school board with
reference to the Stark county school
land was taken on November 5th and
Frank S. Henry, commissioner, sent
out his instructions to the members
of the county board on the 9th.
These members are J. l.. Hughes,
auditor, c. E. Ward, county superin-
tendent of schools, and Frank Ro-
quette, chairman of the board Of
commissioners.
The board is instructed to ascer-
tain the number of acres of land
under cultivation on each tract, char
acter Of land, number of acres of
hay land, etc. The upland must be
designated as grazing and notation
must be made Of lakes, sloughs, out
cropping of coal, etc.
Jay w. Bliss, state engineer, has
filed special instructions with the
board for making notations of any
coal on the lands examined.
It is not known now what the state
board will do, but it seems probable
that sale Of school lands in this
county will be ordered for March or
April. There is quite demand for
these state lands and it is likely that
good sale could be had. 1t is not
expected that the state board would
include all the lands listed for ap-
praisal if sale was ordered. The
University and School Lands board
is very willing to order sales when
there is sufficient demand and it can
be done in the interests of the farm
ers.
School lands have never been ap-
praised in Stark county and thus far
there have been almost no sales of
these lands west of the river. How
ever, the time is rapidly approach
ing when the farmers will want to
own all of the school lands.
The county board will probably
start on the appraisal work the last
of next week. In the absence Of
Chairman Roquette either D. Hughes
or A. F. Mischel will have to act with
J. L. Hughes and C. E. Ward. They
will go out in an automobile and the
inspection will necessarily take some
time.
