horseless.
They claim, and there are several Of
ficers here to prove 1t, that the west
can muster 1000 horses without trou-
BILE which have not their superior any
where. And they even go so far as to
offer to bring their own horses. The
Canadian expeditionary force, however,
is only to have a bare $50 horsemen
with 1t. At present there Is no demand
for cavalry from Canada. Nor does the
department desire 20 encourages the
formation of independent corps.
The offer of Premier Robin to raise
1000 men in Manitoba was refused by
the department. 1t is pointed out that
from the 5000 odd recruits from the
crack militia regiments of Winnipeg,
probably not more than 1000 will be
taken. 1t is, therefore, considered that
to raise an Independent force in Mani
toba would be decidedly unfair to these
regiments who have given their timo
for years to careful training.
That far more men will go from the
west on the overseas contingent than
1t was at first considered advisable to
take Is a certainty. The splendid re-
sponse of the westerners to the calI
for volunteers, and the exceptionally
standard of the men who have en-
listed have insured the west a very
high representation upon the force.
Proportionately the west, in cavalry
men and infantrymen, have exceeded
the big centers of the east in offers OF
service.

NILLERS OF
RED VALLEY MEET

Crookston, Mimi, Aug. 20.-The
meeting of millers of the Red river
valley, scheduled for CrookSton, was
not as largely attended as was expect
ed, though there was a good represen-
tation from the different localities. The
meeting was held under the auspices of
what is known as the Hard Wheat
league, which was organized some
years ago for the purpose of urging the
use of cleaner seed grains and those
particular varieties of wheat which
have proven best for milling in order
to maintain the established high stand
ard of the northwestern hard wheat
-four.
The officers of the league are John
Dunn, of Grafton; Harry Helm, of the
Russell-Miller Milling Co, Minneapolis
Moorhead and j. J.. Padden, of Crooks
ton. l.. Hanson, of Ada was chosen
chairman Of the meeting, n Mr.. Van
Houten secretary.
The attention of the meeting turned
chiefly to the unusual conditions con-
fronting the export trade, caused by
the European war. The millers are
keenly alive to the truth of the state
ment made by J. ]. Hill, that the export
trade must not be allowed to suffer
permanently, but to the contrary, now
is a rare opportunity to attempt to
gain new ground for the future. After
a lengthy discussion, a committee was
authorized to be appointed by the
chairman to watch the interest of the
milling industry of this section in the
export situation.
1t Is customary each year for the
millers to get together for an outing,
and the meeting expressed itself in
favor of an excursion next summer to
either the Yellowstone National park
or the Glacier National park, and a
committee was appointed with S. NJ.
Stvertson of this city as chairman, to
make suitable arrangements.
After the close of the meeting, the
visiting millers were taken out for an
automobile ride by the local mil1ers.
c.. C. Strander generously placed his car
at their disposal for this purpose. The
trip included the state experimental
farm, the new power dam and some of
thu fine farming countries surrounding
the city, and the visitors left on the
evening train expressing the opinion
unanimously that Crookston was a
gem" of a town. .

AUTO TURNS TURTLE
WITH FIVE PASSENGERS

An automobile accident occurred at
Rustad yesterday in which David
V. Hughes of near Woolverton, sus-
tanned two badly broken ribs n the
TOUR other occupants, were bad
~ shaken UP and bruised though
slightly. .,
While it could not be learned who
the other occupants of the car were, all
were going back to the farm near Vol
Verton from Moorhead, where they had
beer shopping. AT Rustad, where there
is a deep ditch on one side of the road
the machine failed to steer and, run
ming to the edge of the ditch, toppled
over with all the occupants.
Hughes, who was beside the driver,
was caught and sustained two broken
ribs, but fortunately, aside from a Sc
we're Earring up and a few minor bruis-
ed. 1t was a lucky thing that none of
the occupants of the car were pinned
beneath 1t as there was considerable
water in the ditch and some might nave
been drowned before they could nave
been rescue
The car was quite badly damaged.
Hughes is an employe of the j. M.
Prieb. farm near Wolverton. The 9TH
er occupants of the machine were
members of Mr.. Prieb's family, the
car being driven by his son-in-law.
1t will probably never be known ex-
actly how the accident occurred but
It is evident that the car could not
be controlled by the driver and shot
over the embankment and into tho
water. Hughes was taken to the Moor
head hospital.

OF SUNDAY
SCHOOLS A SUCCESS

The convention of the Sunday
schools in the Moorhead district, which
comprises the schools of the Lutheran,
Congregational, Presbyterian and Me-
thodist churches of Moorhead, Dill
worth, Glyndon, Kragnes and the rural
schools in the intervening territory,
held here yesterday in the Methodist
church, was a success from every point
of view.
In fact the ministers of the city to-
day report that 1t was by far the best
convention that has ever been held in
the district. Every Sunday school in
the district was represented by a good
delegation and the interest displayed
gave evidence of a great revival of the
work all over the territory. Much
good was obtained from the sessions,
many points of interest to Sunday
school workers being considered and
discussed by those present. The dele
gates return to their homes feeling
that they are much better fitted for the
work in the Sunday school,.
h session last evening began at
7:45 with a praise service conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Boone and was followed by an
address by Mr.. Locker. An
offering was taken for the state and
district work.
An election of district officers was
held in the afternoon resulting as fol-
President-Jeanette Hagen.
Vice President-Mrs. Martin Gee.

Washington, Aug. 2G-Oficials OF
the United States government are as
ignorant of what is happening on the
battletields of Europe as the general
public. Not a single m~essage--and
diplomats are in hourly
communication from all European
capitals-has come in the last FIVE
days giving the slightest hint of the
development of military operations.
In only one dispatch was there any
refernce to pending hostilities. Minis
ter Whitlock at Belgium reported that
although the seat of government had
been moved to Antwerp, he saw no
need of leaving Brussels Off the pres
ent. From this 1t was inferred that
the German forces were not yet close
to the Belgian capital.
The absence of information about
the movement of the big armies is ac-
counted for by officials as due to the
fact that American diplomatic officers
are SO thoroughly absorbed ir caring
for stranded Americans that they are
unable to make any calls at the diff
ferent embassies or legations where
news might be obtained. Ambassador
Herrick, in one Of his messages, how
ever, spoke of the fact that even Dip
lomats were unable to learn of what

WAR AFFECTS The
MINNESOTA FAIR

The war of the nations in Europe
has robbed the Minnesota state fair Of
one of its leading vaudeville features.
May Wirth, known as the greatest
lad bareback rider in the world, is
marooned in Europe. Although she was
expected to sail for America two weeks
ago, in order to appear at the fair
Sept. Z to IL, not a word has been
heard from her since the war brok out
until today. This morning word was
received at Chicago that her horses,
which are worth thousands of dollars,
had been confiscated by the German
government, and that she would be
compelled to cancel her engagement at
the Minnesota fair.
Miss With, the only woman who has
ever turned a triple flip on horseback,
was just finishing a prolonged tour of
Europe, having appeared in thu princi-
pal theatres Of Berlin, st. Petersburg,
Paris and London. She was to have
been paid $1,000 by the fair. Several
high-priced foreign vaudeville acts are
being considered as substitutes. 1t is
probable that the Five Gargonis, a
Partisan act, will be accepted. e..

STOCK SHOW TO Be
BIGGEST EVER HELD
Animals Worth Million Coming
to Minnesota State Fair.

There Is every indication that the
livestock show at the Minnesota
State Fair, Sept. TIP, will be the
largest one ever held in the North
west, even exceeding in size and ag.
gregate value the one Of last year.
Over n million dollars worth of
pure-bred' stock from all parts of the
world will be assembled. Beginning
IN Monday, the opening day, q score
of judges of international reputation
will begin judging in the Livestock
Pavilion, the Swine Barn, and the
Sheep Barn. In the evening of each
day a gigantic livestock parade of
horses and cattle from the leading
studs and herds at the Fair will be
held at the evening Horse Show in
the Hippodrome.
Gigantic Horse Show.
AS a result of an increase Of $4,000
in the awards for horses, the very
cream of the stables of America will
be exhibited in both light and draft
classes. There will be a large num-
Der of both native and imported
horses shown. Among them will be
some Of the blue ribbon winners at
the leading shows here and abroad
last year. A special effort will be made
to encourage local breeders to show.
Last year the Dairy Cattle Show
was n of the largest held in the
New World. There is such interest
in dairy stock in the Northwest that
an unusually large exhibit will be
made this year. Local breeders will
carry away much of the prize money.
The Beef Cattle Show will include
many animals certain to win highest
honors at the Chicago International
Livestock Exposition. There will be
a Fat Stock Show as usual.
A Large FuturIty.
Due largely to the arrangement for
a $500 Poland China Futurity Show
for Minnesota classes, the Swine
Show will be the best eve held In
the Northwest, unless something I'm.
foreseen happens. The Minnesota
State Fair is to guarantee $3.50, while
the American Poland-C China Breeders
Association is to give the balance.
The Sheep Show has always been
a large one. Minnesota farmers are
paying more attention to sheep than
ever before, and those in charge be.
lieve that this interest will result in
an unusually large Show. The lead
ing importers will exhibit the pick of
their 1ocks. Generous premiums are
offered to Minnesota classes.

BRITAINs ADMIRAL SMALL.
Like Many Other Heroes He Is Below
Medium HEIGHT.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: "a
small compact, wiry man is Admiral
Jellicoe," said Ivy l.. Lee while talk
ing about this successor Of Nelson.
Mr.. Lee, who met the admiral, says he
attended an American colony dinner
in London and appeared very easy IN
all his manners.
Small men in both soldiers and SAL
lors' uniforms have written their
names in big letters. Nelson was fraiI
and not tall. Togo is almost a midget.
and Paul Jones was below the medium
size.
Napoleon, the Little Corporal: Grant
and Sherman and many other heroes
OF great battles were small men
physically.
Winston Churchill, lord of the British
admiralty, made himself very unpopu-
lar in England a year or so ago by

err men. The world is about to know

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Charles G.. Dawes,
at a gathering of the Association of
commerce, which was the largest ever
assembled of that organization said:
Prior to the outbreak of the European
war the United States during the year
1913 passed through one of the most
drastic liquidations of the credit in it's
history. Its vast extent may be real
ICED by comparing 1T with that of
1893" In 1898 in eight months national
bank deposits decreased over $422, 000,-
900. In 1913 in seven months they de-
creased $426, 000, 900. The chief reason
why the liquidation of 1913 has not
Frustrated our business to the extent
that 1t did in 1898 to meet the decrease
in deposits, the National banks called
in over 1913, 900, 900 in loans which
Frustrated business. In 1913 with a
greater deposit decrease than in 1898
the banks instead of decreasing their
loans increased them over $43,0 900, 900.
AS a result of 1918 our speculative
credits are largely liquidated; our fin
anCial system Is well bulwarked and
our country is an elementally sound
financial condition. A reaction to pros
