Just a Thought or Two
BY HI. S. Mod.

AS the old about draw its last breath we find our
selves reviewing the events of the past few months In other
Words swimming up with finding just where
stand the march of human progress We find there have
been many dsappoinmens find there have been
find have made aures all has not been
sunshine and have had and
dscouagements and and find that
taken whole the year has been blessing and
have committed no deed OF wrong eowman and
therefore, feel that have advanced in that respect We
have tried and have been wonderfully
couraged by words from the boys and thank them and
ALL wish each Happy New Year and the best of for
in the
The New Y ar and all It's opportunities Is about to dawn
Many Of satisfied with what We have
pshed during the feel that must reach out
and upward that farther from self and thus
become enabled and understand broader and
comprehensive Man selfish and prone to
Think OF his needs than those of others and, hence
the necessity of getting away from self.
Now in order better condition and the condition of
others must have something than the thought
spoken desire We may say will do this will do
that but unless do it, spoken determination has only
been useless expenditure of energy Therefore, is we'll to
study out whether not possible for out what
have determined do before declare that will do it,
Of must remember that will fail gain
things that appear be very simple Failure
however, should not be allowed dshearten though
asperates for until have
hand and then may fly away before reap any
great benefit Failure is of the great teachers of expert
and thus it becomes stepping higher attainment
that u.s. provided profit by the mistakes which caused the
failure
than and won't be long before you become of
your opportunities and you will find that you have started
the upward track and the things worthy of striving for will put
in early appearance.

What is to escape from Pau
dora's Box that the New Year will
set at the doors of Nineteen Fifteen?
Ills or blessings? Let us hope the
latter will outnumber the former,
and that universal peace be one
of the blessings.

The day that summer died we saw
change
Creep slowly DER the sunshine of her
face
A heeting beauty, dim and wholly
strange,
Unlike the brightness Of her earlier
grace.
We felt a chill in every breeze that
blew.
And saw across the meadows green
and wire
A veil OF frost that silvered all the
dew
The day that summer died.
The day that summer died red leaf
fell
From out the naples green and
stately crest.
And all the slender fern leaves in the
dell
In robes of white and palest gold
were dressed.
A late rose shed its petals one by one,
The poplar stirred Its trembling
leaves and sighed:
A glowing dahlia blossomed in the sun
The day that summer died.
The day that summer died the forest
stream
| Crept forth to catch the blueness OF
the skies;
The hills grew dim and hazy as a
(, dream,
Or like vision viewed by fearful
| eyes,
A growing shadow. chill and vaguely
! drear,
| Swept DER the landscape like a ris-
| ing tide;
And winters footsteps sounded all toe
near
The day that summer died.

KILLED BY A
PITCHFORK

A singular accident happened
Thursday afternoon of last week
when Heinrich Oily was fatally in
jured at his farm southwest Of. the
city. Mr.. Oily was stacking his crop
of wheat and had just returned to
the field 70 get another load Of grain.
He threw the pitch fork out Of the
rack and climbed to the top of the
rack and jumped, striking the fork
handle which was jamed into his
body, causing internal injuries. A
doctor was called and upon examina-
Hon had him brought to the hospital
at once. An operation revealed the
fact that recovery was almost impos-
sible. The man lived until Sunday
evening.
IL Mr.. Oily was young Holland far.
mer about % years old. He was one
of the tenents on one Of the farms o1
[the Holland Dakota Landbow Com.
pany. He leaves a wife and brother
to mourn his loss. The funeral was
held Wednesday afternoon from the
Boulger & Hughes parlors. Rev.
John Orchard had charge Of the serv-
ice. The remains were inferred in
the Protestant cemetery.
This is the third accident of this
nature that has happened recently in
the western part Of the state. "A
young man proved to be a victim OF
la similar accident at Glendive and am
other near Mandan. s n!

.N0LTE'S INSANITY
DANGEROUS FORM
SAY PHYSICIANS

Fred Nolte, adjudged insane as
stated last week, was safely landed
In the state asylum at Jamestown on
Monday. E. G. Hoist, deputy sheriff.
and J. P. Cain, states attorney, ac-
companied the patient, returning
Tuesday afternoon.
The attending physician at the
asylum told Mr.. Cain that Fred
Notes insanity was Of the most
dangerous form and that in many
cases there was no chance of recoy-
cry. Patients of this kind are very
likely to use force in righting any
wrong.
Fred Nolte is 81 years of age and
was born in Germany, coming to this
country when 2 years of age. He has
a mother, brother and sister in the
vicinity of Richardton. For some
years past he has been homesteader
in Dunn county, not far from Man
ming. A short time ago the claim
was contested on the ground that
claimant had not complied with the
law. The contest will now be dropped
as the claim Of an insane man can
not be contested. If the mans case
of insanity proves incurable, the
heirs at law will eventually get the
farm. r--

POPE Plus X
PASSED AWAY

Rome, August 20:-Pope Plus X.
died at an early hour this morning.
The pope's last illness began almost
coincidentally with the great war in
Europe. Those close to him believe
his grief over the situation brought
on the final crisis. It SO overwhelmed

year, to Withstand another attack of
his old enemy, croupy catarrh. Ill

many years, and intermittently the
attack was so serious that the world
of his passing.
At the commencement of the Euro
pean crisis the pope addressed an ex-
hortation to all Catholics Of the
world, asking them to lift their souls
toward Christ, who alone is able to-
aid. He called upon the clergy to- of
fer public prayer.
The Pope's death occurred at 1870.
o'clock, August Goth. He was elected
to the Pontificate August 4th, 1908,
and during his occupancy of his ex-
alted office has had to deal with the

ious and governmental, of modern
times.

and mont Catholic, and his interest in
American affairs kept him in closer
touch with this side Of the Atlantic
than perhaps any pontiff that has.

SOME MORE HAIL,

Wednesday afternoon terrible
storm seemed about to break upon
the city; the sky darkeied and the.
air grew quite cool, but only little
wind and dust came as the result. It
is reported that the storm started in
Montana, and worked east, striking
Wibaux, Beach, Sentinel Butte and
the neighboring country. Reports Of
the hail in this vicinity came in
Thursday to the effect that the hail
was very fine and little damage
seemed to be done. At the expert
ment station the hail was very small,
much like snow. P. F. Stults said that
the hail struck the south portion Of
his farm, slightly damaging his late
wheat. The path here was several
rods in width. The storm seemed to
|be about spent. Fenn Pelton reports
that they received a little hail at the
Pelton farm, with very little damage
done. There was very little wind
with the storm, which accounts to a
large measure for the mildness of:
the storm.
Joe Carroll says that there was a
inches Of hail at his farm.

.MUEcKE'S fine APPLE CROP
!. PROSPERED IN AMERICA

There are many people who do not
think apples can be grown in North
Dakota, but if they were to take a
trip to the Henry Muecke farm six
miles northeast Of Dickinson they
would think otherwise. They would
find trees loaded down with fine large
apples. ,:.,s
The Muecke garden and orchard is
sheltered with hills on the west and
south and large cottonwood grove
on the north, and the fruit and vege-
tables found in this secluded patch
are surprising to the visitors. There
ARE some four varieties of apples, in
cluding Duchess and Greetings, and
many Of the limbs are SO heavily
laden with the fruit that they have
to- be supported with props. In
strawberry time the family had all
the berries they could eat and now
bushels Of cucumbers, tomatoes and
all kinds Of garden vegetables are
|ripening for the use Of these people.
Henry Muecke was born in Ger
many, coming to America about 1880,
spending a year or two in st. Louis.
He came to Mandan in 1883, and took
up a homestead. "A year later he
came to Stark county and for good
many years he successfully raised
cattle in Hettinger county. Fourteen
years ago he returned to this county
and purchased the Pete Stults tree
claim and established a permanent
home. He paid $5 per acre, including
improvements, and Mr.. Stults
thought he was getting a big price
for his land, but things have changed
in the past ten years, and the pur-
chaser was the party getting the good
deal. Mr.. Muecke purchased other
land adjoining and nearby, paying
$1.75 and So per acre, and now owns
], 900 acres. He did have good deal
more but sold off farm or two at
a good advance over the cost price.
The Muecke farm has a large
house, plenty of barn and shed room,
including q blacksmith shop and
smoke house. Two portable steel
grain tanks are on the place for oats
and wheat. Mr.. Muecke just finished
marketing his 1918 wheat crop and
hs as viii as nGs seas BE II er6p apy About About ss 1ao
acres were cropped this year and the
yield promises to be II to 20 bushels
Iper acre. The barley and oat crops
have already been stacked in the
grain lot near the house. The butter
made at this place sells in Dickinson
for about 800 per month in the best
Of the season. i; "a
Mr.. Muecke is firm believer in
trees and is preparing several acres
on the hill west Of his buildings for
la large grove which he will put out
la year or two later.
Mr.. and Mrs. Muecke have eight
children, four boys and four girls,
and are a very contented and healthy
family. The wife and mother is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Sch.

KANSAS CROP ENORMOUS ].
CLARK lEl THIS WEEK

j. Allen Clark returned the first 81
the week from his trip for the goy-
sernment on wheat investigation into
eastern Montana, Wyoming, Kansas
and South Dakota. The winter wheat
crop in Kansas is now harvested and
the total yield is estimated at
100, 100000 to & 15O, 600, 900 bushels
which places the state in the front
rank for wheat prod duction this year.
It is something like 80 to 40 per
cent above normal. u \ orth Dakota
will probably harvest spring wheat
crop Of about 80, ,O00, 900. q
For some reason, hard to explain,
eastern Montana lis developing into a
much better winter wheat growing
section than North Dakota. Some
think that the mountain ranges pro-
tect the crop better in Montana. The
temperature is very little different
from ours. r NJ ;;;ss9
f 81 In Wyoming they have a great deal
of trouble with soil blowing in GER
tain localities; but the state has many
very productive valleys. Es5! 29SS
& Mr.. Clark left Tuesday for Mandan
where he was to visit a short time
with his brother, Charles C1ark, who

Prof. G. r. Ball, chief OF western
wheat investigation, will be return
ing another week from his trip to the
