BOND PAPER FROM FLAX
Samples Returned From Wisconsin
Point to Success.

Samples of the first paper ever
manufactured from North Dakota flax
straw pulp have been received il
Grand Forks from Appleton, Wis.
The paper is made from the product of
the Northwestern Flax Fiber company
of Grand Forks, which believes it has
solved the problem of utilizing flax
straw for paper making purposes.
The paper is of heavy grade, suit
able for bond papers, and is exception
ally white and clear, considering thea
product from which it is made. AIN
flax straw colors have been success
fully eliminated.
Additional machinery for the Grand
Forks plant will be installed the COM
ing month, by which the process will
be more completely perfected, and It'd
is believed the product will be v e.
better for paper making purposes.
If the enterprise is successful it
will establish a big market for flax
straw and will also add an unlimited
supply of pulp to the paper manufac-
turing industry. In fact, it would rev.
olutionize the industry. Chicago capt.
talists are backing the enterprise.

Senator Gore Gives His View
Of Damage Suit.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 17.-Denounc-
ing the allegation as an infamous
lle,' United States Senator T. P. Gore
from the witness stand in the district
court here declared that charges of
improper conduct, the basis of the
$4,000 damage suit on trial, were the
invention of a coterie Of disappointed
officeseekers intended to bring him

for denomination at the primaries in
Oklahoma next August.

the suit, alleges that Senator Gore at
tackled her at a Washington hotel

HAD BEEN SLIGHTLY ILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. l4.-Augustus o.
Bacon, United States senator from
Georgia Tor nearly nineteen years and
chairman OF the foreign relations com
mittee since the ascendancy of the
Democratic party March 4, 1913, died
in a hospital here today after an i'll
ness OF ten days. He was the first
United States senator by direct vote
of the people under the seventeenth
constitutional amendment.
Though Senator Bacon had been
seriously i'll with kidney trouble and
complications developed from a broken
rib his death was unexpected. 1t came
suddenly at , O'Clock in the afternoon
and news OF the end fell upon the
senate as a shock while it was in eX-
ecutive session.
The immediate cause of the sena-
tors death vas diagnosed as a blood
clot in the heart. Throughout the
morning he had been in good spirits
and it was announced to his colleagues
that he was feeling better than for
several days. Physicians had deter
mined that an operation which had
been contemplated was unnecessary.
Despite his seventy-five years it ap-
peared that the alfiiction from which
he suffered was Of recent origin and
specialists believed it would yield to
treatment. This conclusion relieved
considerably the anxiety of his friends
and associates in congress-.
Senator Bacon's demise comes at a
time when general arbitration treaties
with foreign nations are to be taken
up for disposition, the treaties with
Great Britain and Japan being of prin-
cipal concern to the administration.

News Of the Week From Vari.
Gus Parts Of the State.
RURAL THEATER is PRAISED
Dean Sumner of Chicago Asserts That
Fargo Farm College Idea Will
Sweep the Country.

A new force for the betterment OF
conditions in rural communities of the
United States has been initiated by
the North Dakota Agricultural college
at Fargo in the little country thea.
ter proposition, according to Dean
sumner OF Chicago, who was at Fargo
at h dedication Of the theater. THE
plan is original and | predict it will
sweep the United States" said the
dean.
The idea originated with Professor
Arvold, in charge of public speaking
and debating at the college. His plan
is to establish a model theater in min
iature suitable for use in large farm
homes, country s~choolhouses, village
halls, churches and elsewhere. The
scenery is simple and can be readily
and cheaply constructed from a set of
rough plans. The scheme is to have
one-act productions rather than a null
tlplicity Of Genes and acts.
Dean Sumner sees wonderful posi-
bilities in the idea, because it will de-
velop dramatic tendencies among stu.
dents. 1t will be an incentive for the
study of dramatic works and play
writing. 1t will spur communities to
organize consolidated rural schools
and social centers in order to have a
larger and more convenient hall.
The suggestion of Professor Arvold
met with the hearty endorsement of
President Worst and other faculty
members of the agricultural college
and students are cooperating in every
nOSSihla WAY

SUIT BY EDITOR
Says He Was Deceived When He In.
vested His All in Newspaper.

WV ~ NJ ~ NSVoPoPSI
Two more legal actions have been
started in connection with the for
mer and present ownership of the
Fargo Courier-News. The latest ac-
tion by Rev. l.. Il. Guild, the new
editor. against A. Y. More, national
Bull Moose committeeman, comes as
a surprise.
The plaintiff sues for $4,000. He
was a minister of the Methodist
church at Toledo and had former
newspaper experience. He had two
m in the work and wanted a paper
where the family could be together.
He was an ardent Bull Mooser and
when he got in touch with More was
a ready purchaser.
Guild asserts that he invested $2O,-
900 in cash, all the money he pos
sessed, in the paper and gave notes
for the remainder for a half inter
est. More purchased the paper orig
inally on a mortgage foreclosure and
had operated it d year or two.
Guild asserts that More misrepre-
scented things, that the circulation
was not as large as More asserted
and that the paper was o in good
standing with advertisers.

Youth Charged With lnfanticide
Pleads Guilty.

William McBain, charged with in
fanticide, pleaded guilty in district
court at Fessenden, was sentenced to
two years in state prison and paroled.

concluded an interesting case which
arose recently when charges were
made that McBain had been railroad
ed to prison.

the case came to the attention of the
public. There was a demand for his
release, it being contended that he
had pleaded guilty to charges without
knowledge of his legal rights. The
state board of parole ordered the con-
plete record of the case wiped out.
