WEDDING DELAYED
THR0 DISCOVERY
Jail Delivery at Minot At
tempted by man Whose
Marriage was Scheduled.

Minot, N. D.. Sept. ga Jail de-
livery was nipped in the bud by Act
ing Chief Of Police Carl Peterson and
his men. Hearing suspicious noises
proceeding from the jail. the author
tiles went outside and caught four
men in the act of prying the bars
loose from one of the windows with
a board.
John Yule. one Of the ringleaders
in the attempted Jail delivery, who
was serving a term for getting drunk,
pleaded guilty before Police Magis-
trate John Lynch.
Yule claims that he bought farm
near Westby, Mont, on crop pay
ments. He said he was about to be
married and that he tried to break
out Of jail because he was anxious
to have the ceremony performed.
o. HI. Stevenson, serving a term for
disorderly conduct, pleaded not gull
ty to the charge of jail-breaking and
his case was continued. The cases of
the other alleged would-be jail break
ers will also be heard later.
Chief Peterson said today that If
the men had been given half an hour
more the whole jail would probably

NORTON OPPOSED
Again he Proposes War Revenue
Measure.

Washington, Sept. 26.-In speaking
in the house yesterday in opposition to
the internal revenue tax bill, Con-
gresham Norton of North Dakota
urged that If reasonable economy such
as existing conditions in the country
and abroad warranted was practiced
in government appropriations and ex-
penditures, no legislation for addi-
tional sources Of revenue would be
necessary.
He suggested the reason why whis-
key, which is made principally in the
south, was exempted from any addi-
tional tax would be interesting. The
tax on gasoline was declared to be
unjust and unreasonable and would
impose burden Of from two to ten
dollars a year on every family in the
northwest using gasoline.

ed way. Sometimes the little ears
would mature, and sometimes they
would not. But when they did the
experimenter was apt to be boastful.
though the yield seldom justified the
investment in land. seed and labor.
The present corn industry in North
Dakota is not the outgrowth of these
experiments, but of the working out
of the principles on which the Better
Farming movement is based, namely,
the application to the practical work
of the farm of the scientific knowl-
edge which has been acquired through
careful study and careful and SYSTEM
attic experiment by men who made
such work business. Some of these
men were professors in schools. Some
of them were farmers IN the fields.
But all, wherever their work lay,
! were possessed of the scientific spir-
it which commands to "prove all
things and hold fast that which is
good"
Most Of this work antedated the
formal organization Of associations
for the purpose. What organization
has done has been, not to create some-
thing new, but to render more effect
i've the spirit Of progress which was
already abroad by systematizing the
work, and making possible so-oper-
alton Of many individuals and many
agencies which had been making ear
nest, but scattered efforts.
The experimenters of a few years
ago might have gone on forever ex-
perimenting with inferior dwarf corn,
full oc seed to raise a few stalks of
corn as a curiosity, and we would
rave been no farther along the road
The scientific union of theoretical
and practical knowledge pointed out
the way. Careful experiments were
little by little there has been devel-
oped here strain of seed corn which
is adapted to it's environment, which
will ripen quickly and yield we'll, and
from state without an acre of corn
but few years ago we have grown
100000 bushels.
The growing of North Dakota corn
is no longer an experiment. Much
experimenting remains to be done
with the crop, and those who expert
ment most wisely will undoubtedly Sc
cure the best results. But corn has
become one of our established staples.
North Dakota will never be exclusive
ly corn state. Nobody wants it to
be. But corn has won an established
place in North Dakota rotation, and
the farmer has another string to his
bow.
