Big Merchants In New York Are
Badly Effected by Europe's War;
Business Affairs Upset; Says Wolff

Business conditions in New York
are IN a very uncertain stage because
OF n war, according to Sig Wolff,
the local merchant. who returned last
night from that city. Mr.. Wolff spent
a number OF days in New York pur-
chasing his fall and winter stock.
Things in New York are all up
set" he said this afternoon. People
throughout the city are unusually
wrought up. The merchants do not
know how long their lines of imported
goods will hold out. There Is one
good feature, however, and that is that
the old stock has been brought out
and is selling at good, substantial in
creases. ..4
One of the worst features is the
fact that the German ocean liners are
tied UP in the New York harbor. The
Hamburg and North German Lloyd
companies have 26, 900 idle men in
New. York as a result of this condition.
They hired them in Europe, and. Of
course. have to keep them in New
York on full pay. although they are
unable to use them.

of Germans and, Austrians parading

FRANK HENDERSON
DIVORCE ANNULED
Second Wife Left Out in the
C~old-Exploits of For
rner Mayville Man.

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 21.-In a
hearing Of the Frank Henderson d.
vorce case before Judge j. A.. Coffey
today. the petition Of Mrs. Marie Hem
derson to vacate a decree of divorce
given her in March, 1914, was grant
ed.
Mrs. Henderson was granted the di-
vorce on a competent showing Of cruel
and inhuman treatment, and $500 in
alimony and $25 a month were al
lowed her. Henderson was enjoined
from remarrying until June 4, 1914.
Various reasons. principally fraud,
were given for wanting the decree Of
divorce set aside. Mrs. Henderson
asserts that her husband told. her he
had another wife and two children,
which was not the ase that his al
legged second wife had something on
him" and would make trouble which
would send him to the ~penitentiary,
and that 1t was necessary for her
marie Henderson, to secure a di-
vorce in order to protect him.
introduced in the evidence was a
ed by Frank Henderson and it was
set up that this note was paid by Mrs.
Henderson as her husband said he
had no money and could not get a
divorce unless she advanced the
money.
On June. 8, 1914. Henderson mar
ried MIME Pellen at Sioux Falls, s. D.,
and they are now living at Owatonna,
Mimi. Miss Pellen was a clerk in the
Fairmont & Veblen railroad offices
and in charge of the bokos and A.
nances Of the company of which
Henderson was superintendent. He
was afterward charged with embez-
cling a large sur of money from the
company. and Mrs. Marie Henderson
alleges that she secured the divorce
at Henderson's request in order for
him to marry Minnie Pellen so the
latter could not testify against him In
criminal proceedings brought by the
company. She further asserts that
Henderson agreed after the railroad
case had been settled to secure a di-
vorce from Minnie Pellen and remar-
ry Marie Henderson, which he has
refused to do.
1t is understood the case will be ap-
pealed on the ground that Mrs. Hen
derson was a party to the fraud by
which the first divorce was obtained
and canot taxi advantage Of her own
wrong. and that the divorce was
granted on evidence tina was true and
not on falsehoods.
AS the matter now stands Mrs.
Marie Henderson Is the legal wife Of
Frank Henderson and he could be
prosecuted for bigamy.

-FOUR RESIDENCES
ON U" AVENUE
Big Improvements Will be
Brought About Through
Deals This Week..

Four splendid new residences for
University avenue are promised, the
result of deals completed this week.
Work on n Of the new homes al
ready has been commenced.
Abe Mcmahon. the Great Northern
engineer, who owned a 5O-foot 'front.'
age in the 1400-block. adjoining the
so-called Kent Realty cottages, pur-
chased some time ago by j. w.
kearns. has sold his lots to Mr..
kearns, giving the latter an unoocu-
pied frontage of $50 feet. in addition
to the frontage occupied by the Kent
cottages.
On the $50 foot frontage Mr.. Kearns
proposes the construction of three
residences, two of which will cost
about $4,000 each, while the other,
on the corner lot, will be built al a
cost Of about $4,000.
Mr.. Mcmahon, Immediately he COM

Lay on Many Men.
I'm many respects business has
been demoralized. One toy and for
eign goods store laid off 300 men
while l was there. I was in another
big store, which had purchased ST.
100000 worth Of toys from sample
lots, and they will be unable to get
a dollars worth Of the stock.
Much of the imported goods comes
from Germany, and, in that country
not a wheel is turning. The people
are all thinking war, and If the goods
were obtainable, it would be impos-
sible to get them, because Germany
has been entirely cut off from the. rest
of the world.
Brother in Army.
MY brother, Ernest Wolff, is fight
ing with the German army. and I have
unable to get word to him or
from him. My sister, Miss Laura
Wolff, resides in Asace, where much
of the fighting has occurred.
Merchants in the west will have
little difficulty getting their stock, ex-
cept those larger places in the big cit
les which use considerable imported
goods. Eastern financiers and bust
ness men think the west will be ef-
fected very little by the war. The east,
they say, will suffer more than any
other section in the country"

LAUNCH MOVEMENT
FOR 1915 SEED
Annual Campaign to Bring
Farmers in Line for Saw
ing Corn Started.
COOPER SHOWS
THE ADVANTAGES
Greater Returns will Result
From Use of the Home
Grown Seed.

The annual movement for the con-
~eervation Of seed orn has commenced
in North Dakota. being launched
again by Thomas Cooper, director Of
the experimental station. In a state
ment covering the situation, he says:
Now Is the time to insure next years
corn crop. Home grown seed insures
time to secure the home grown seed.
Select the seed corn in the field. This
gives opportunity to see the kind OF
stalks that the ear is grown IN, as
well as the kind of ear.
The stalk is al important considera-
ton. The North Dakota corn crop
will be largely handled by machinery.
and a corn should be grown that can
be handled in this city. One OF the
requirements Is that the ears he car
ried high enough from the ground so
that the corn a be cut with the
corn binder. Another important
point: A good ear from a hill that
has produced three or four good ears
is better than a similar ear from a
hill that has produced just one ear.
The corn plant increases in food
value quite rapidly from the time it
tassels out till it ripens. This means
hat even when the orn is to be used
for fodder or ensilage. it should be
allowed to become nearly mature in
order to ecure the greatest food
value, as well as the best food value.
The %so-called fodder corn. that grows
a small amount OF food value.
When the seed corr has been select
ed the next thing is to cure it; the
curing consists in drying the seed. It
1t freezes before being dry, the germ
ination qualities are destroyed. AS
soon as the corn has been gathered,
hang 1t up in n place here the air can
circulate freely. and where it is pro-
tected from rain. When freezing
weather comes, if the corn is not dry
1t must be kept in a room kept above
freezing. Artificial heat can be used
IN drying corn, but it Is best to let it
air dry for a while at first.
Corn is fast becoming one of the
most important crops in North Dakota
farming. The rapidity of this prog
ress depends very largely on where
the seed Is grown; when imported seed
Is grown year after year, progress will
be slow; when home grown seed is u.s.
ed, the improvement made each year
Is saved, So that next years crop can
be made that much better.
This adoption Of seed corr to our
soil and climatic conditions must be
iiiaue TlSHt III tne locallty. Better
seed corn can be secured from your
w corn field. if we'll cared for. than
can be brought in from a distance.
Gathering seed corn is not as big a
job as it may seem when one considers
that one bushel of seed will plant six
to eight acres. A good way is to Sc
cure a grain sack. tie a strap to one
corner oft he bottom and the other to
a corner Of the top. The sack can be
carried with the strap over the Shout
der. This leaves both hands free and
1t is the easiest way of carrying the
corn. In this way, several bushels of
Every bushels of home grown seed
corr that is selected and well cured is
a boost up the ladder for North Da-
kota farming. -

points on the Pingree line.
Mr.. Anderson brought back rather
pessimistic reports of the wheat crop.
THE crops are not any too good"
he said. "Of course, they were
threshing just the earliest grain. but,
in a very few days. the farmers will
be right in the midst Of the busiest
part of it. The places I visited were
showing very poor yields. averaging
about ten bushels. And the grain was

READY TO GRIND

ton of the New Mill.
CROP"
IN r DAKOTA
Reports Show Such Condi-
ton, Says Local Mill
Head.

P. ]. Kavanaugh. who returned this
morning from Minneapolis, where he
attended a meeting of Russell-Miller
mill managers. declared this after
noon that the local mill would be
ready to begin grinding the first of
September.
While in Minneapolis Mr.. Kava-
naugh received reports of crop con-
ditions from a number of places.
THE northwestern crop conditions
vary" he said. In the twin cities
they are looking to North Dakota to
produce a great deal of it. for the
South Dakota crop is very poor this
year. The Kansas Gro is reported
good, n the Minnesota crop is good
In a number Of sections.
North Dakota reports show a
spotted crop. or a harvest that shows
different grades of grain, from the
poor to the good. The reports from
Mandan and Dickinson are very en-
couraging. while the Minot crops are
said to be excellent.
The crops in the vicinity of James
town are perhaps the poorest in the
ytate, and those in the vicinity of VAL
ley City are very little better. OF
course, those places have a big ter
r1tory to draw from and can reach
out into the western part of the state
and get good crops.
I'VE have an immense territory to
draw from, n so we're not worrying
much about the conditions. OF course.
we are interested in seeing good o
throughout, the state. for it means
prosperity for all. But it will vary,
n a number of sections will not do
very we'll"
Mr.. Kavanaugh declares twin city
financial and business men are not
worrying much over the war. In Chi
cago they had a slight scare. he said,
but things have quieted considerably
during the past week.
The work Of completing the local
mill Is being rushed rapidly. Some
OF the machinery was turned over
today, and all of 1t will be got In con-
dition to begin grinding On Septem-
