OATS YIELD is REMARKABLE
Ninety to 1907 Bushels an Acre From
Experimental Station Plant.

Excellent returns were obtained at
the Great Plains experimental station,
operated near Mandan under the d.
re.ction Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
Four of the ten-acre plats of wheat
have been threshed, the smallest
yield being th1rty-one bushels and the
highest thirty-seven and one-half bush
els an acre, the highest average being
obtained on hard durum.
The oats yield was remarkable,
several plats yielding from ninety
and one-half to 1O7 bushels an acre,
making a record for that section of
the state. The average yield of oats
in the district is about thirty-fve
bushels. Winter wheat is expected
to average about forty bushels to the
acre.

CROP EXTENSIVELY SPOTTED
Rust Does Great Damage in Some
Districts of North Dakota.

Additional returns from the grain
fields of the state confirm the reports
that the state has an extensive spotted
crop this year. Rust has done great
damage in some localities. and the in
tense heat late in July also had a
deteriorating effect.
Park River in western Walsh coun-
ty, makes an optimistic report, show
ing an average of fourteen bushels OF
wheat. Oats will average from forty
to fit: bushels an acre, but the barley
crop is light.
Morton county probably will have
the banner yield Of the state. Blue
stem and Scotch fife wheat have run
as high as twenty-five bushels, While
Marquis wheat has averaged twenty
eight bushels. 1t is probable that the
average yield for the county will be
close to twenty bushels an acre. Oats
yields also are heavy.

GERMAN AEROPLANE
APPEARS OVER PARIS

Paris, Aug. 31.-A German aero
plane appeared over Paris and drop
ped a bomb into the city. No dam
age was done and, though startled by
this threatening occurrence, Parisians
remained tranquil. All gradually have
been accustomed to consider much
more serious events as possibilities
and the people of the capital are
equal to either fortune-hard won
success in the north or a temporary
reverse.
The territory over which a German
aeroplanist flew, dropping bombs, is
in the northeastern part of Paris and
scarcely a mile from the heart of the
city. In this district are the big mill
tary hospitals, the hospital St. Louis.
St. Lazare prison for women, the
Church St. Laurent, which dates from
the Sixteenth century, the North rail.
road station, the magnificent church
of St. Vincent de Paul, the Laribo-
siere hospital, one of the largest in
Paris, several colleges, and several
theaterS.

Every Town Should Have a Park.

One thing that every North Dakota
town should consider is the establish
ment Of a park. Trees and parks are
sadly needed in North Dakota. Moth
ing will add more to the attractive
ness of the state than more trees and
parks. Every healthy tree in North
Dakota and every park and bower
adds directly to the d%esirability of this
state as a home state and adds cash
value to every acre of land in the state.
The establishing of a park is not a
complicated matter in North Dakota.
A few years ago when Grand Forks
desired to start a park system its
Commercial club framed a liberal, com.
prehensive state law upon parks and
secured it's passage through the legis.
lature. This law has been widely
copied by other states.

HOLDS UP DINNER PARTY
Robber CompeIs Guests to Hand Over
Their ValuabIes.

Taking possession of the dining
room at York in which fifteen men
were seated ar unmasked robber
forced the guests to line up against
a wall, their hands held high in the
air, afterwards compelling them, one
by one, to step forward and deposit
their v%aluables in a pile in front of
him.
The Smelling out" process complet-
ed n of the men was ordered to
place the booty in the robbers pock-
cts. Then, backing slowly to the door,
the bandit made a dash inta the
darkness.
Two shots from his revolver, fired
close to the feet of the diners, accel-
Grated their activity in complying
with his commands.
The banqueters we're guests of j.
Magnus and E. Thompson when they
were confronted by the armed bandit.
They at first supposed the affair was
a joke, but soon discovered their
mistake. The robber secured about
S10O and some valuable jewelry.

ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN
WAR SITUATION.

Germans are holding fast to their
original plan of campaign for reach
ing Paris by thanking on the west the
long line CT Notifications running
southeast from La Fere.
The present position of the Ger
mans is curiousIy similar, On a larger
scale, to the conditions they over
came at Namur. In Belgium, Namur
was the apex of an angle formed by
the Meuse and Sambre rivers. In the
same way Amiens is at the apex of an
angle formed by the Somme and Avre
rivers, which is now bearing the Ger
man approach to Paris. The fortifica-
tions face the open side of the Somme-
Avre angle, beginning at La Fere and
running forty-five miles in the oppo-
site direction through Laon and
Rheims. The Germans are now aim
ing to pass through this angle by
three roads, converging on Paris. The
roads are from Amiens. from Peronne
and from ST. Quentin, respectively
seventy. eighty and ninety miles from
the capital.
The Germans must cover the for
tress as they did at Namur and pro-
coed across the two rivers They
must descend from hills over the
Somme and then, after traversing a
plain Of twenty miles between the two
rivers, cross the Avre by ascending a
series of heights. The geographical
conditions give warrant for Sir John
French's prediction that the allied po-
sitions are such as to invite a German
disaster If a decisive battle is fought.
:. = =
The German announcement that the
Russians have been defeated to the
south of Allenstein may mean simply
that the Germans retreat toward the
VistuIa fortresses is being conducted
in orderly fashion.
If the report is true that AIIenstein
has been evacuated by the Germans
opposing the Russian advance it is
evident that the German commanders
have abandoned field resistance to the
Slavs.
= 4 =
Great Britain's naval victory is val.
liable only for its effect on the morale
of the British sea guardians. Since
the Var began the British battle fleets
have been patrolIing the North sea,
with nerves at the highest tension it
is possible for human beings to en-
dure. Constant WatchfuIness, with
no incidents to stimulate activity, is
an undesirable condition.

Just completed a cleanup campaign at
Devils Lake, has arrived in Minot to

In the plan of campaign against lille
gal liquor selling in the state it is pro-
posed to punish those who use ticti-
tious names under which to receive

port of the practice to the United
States district attorney.

MYSTERY is CLEARING UP
Minneapolis Man and Mckenzie Coun.
ty Homesteader Slain.

'sSiiiSoIScNCI q
Developments made public at Will
liston indicate that both Carl Radintz
of Minneapolis and Henry Sexse, a
Mckenzie county homesteader, were
murder victims.
A second body, just found in a deep
ravine in Mckenzie county, near Sex
Be's homestead, has been positively
identified as being his, and S. A.
Burns, who faces a charge of murder,
must still fight such accusation.
though a different man is brought for
ward as his victim.
Carl RadintZ of Minneapolis was
thrown into the Missouri river, prob
ably at Mondak, Mont. His body, re-
covered some time ago, was first iden-
tilted as that of Sexse. He wasLilled
by blows over the head, his skull be-
ing crushed. His jaw had been shat
tered by blows.
Burns is accused of killing Sexse
to obtain possession of the ~latter's
land. Burns displayed a deed, run
ming from SeXse to himself, supposed
ly given previous to SeXse's alleged
departure for Canada.

CANNOT AFFECT SITUATION
Germans Make Light of Recent Naval
Engagement.

London, Aug. 31.-A dispatch re-
ceived here by the Marconi Wireless
Telegraph company from Berlin gives
an official statement concerning the
naval battle off Helgoland. 1t says:
"The naval engagement near Helgo-
land is treated by the press as being
without significance and as an occur
n which cannot affect the general
situation. The fighting took place ap-
parently within the range of Helgo-
land forts, which. however, were un-
able to use their guns owing to the
thick weather"

Thomas Cooper, director of the state
experiment station, has launched his
campaign for the saving of seed corn.

association and this year it is expected

English Casualties Placed at About
Six Thousand.

SlN nOQSdTlu.
London, Sept. 1.-Although England
is pouring more soldiers into France
to take the place of those lost during
the weeks fighting, and it is known
Paris is making active preparations
for a seige, the proclamation of Lord
Kitchener, telling Of the part the Brit
ish played in the four days battle, has
greatly relieved the tension in Eng
land.
His statement that Sir John French
placed the British losses at from
5000 to 5000 was received calmly.
Reports which have been circulated
Of serious reverses has led the public
to believe that the losses would be
much greater.
The statement of the far minister
that the confidence and spirit of the
army is mistaken has revived hopes
of ultimate victory.

Paris, Sept. 1.-While no official in
formation regarding the military sit
uatlon on the French frontier has
been made public it is considered sig
nificant that Paris is preparing for a

the south and west Of France have
been arriving at the capital and
passing by rail around the city to the
location in the encircling fortifica-
lions to which they have been assign

mans are pressing towards Paris.
There is great activity on the part
OF the municipal military administra-
ton in completing the details of the
plans for the defense of Paris.
The unusual animation noticed on
the streets of Paris was caused chief
ly by the thousands of persons who
are preparing to leave the capital.
Persons are departing and taking
their families with them as a matter
of. prudence. 1t is felt here that the
