BUFFALO BILL
LIKES FARGO
INDIAN FIGHTER AND
NOTED SCOUT GIVES HIS I'M
PRESSIoNS OF FARGO - PRE-
DIETS GREAT GROWTH FOR
THE CITY.
Buffalo Bill likes Fargo.

Buffalo Bill likes Fargo.
And he has watched it's growth and
is proud of it, too. Seated on a blue
painted box on the circus grounds, the
doughty hero of many an Indian war
and perhaps the most famous man in
all America, Col. William F. Cody, as
he is formally known, enthusiastically
told of his pioneer life.
His pure white hair and goatee, his
clear eye, firm hand and erect carriage
gave one clearly the impression of
Americas grand old man. The fact
that the circus was late, hat hundreds
Of men were rushing to and fro in or
der to get the big top" up for the aft
%ernoon's performance made no differ
ence to this cool-headed son of the
plains.
What is your population now" was
the first question Colonel Cody asked
when confronted with the reporter.
THE last time 1 was here" le contin-
ued. sit was 1920"
When told the last census had given
Fargo a population in excess of 16, 900
and that Fargo was now the largest
city In the W Dakotas, he burst forth
enthusiastically, Il knew it, l knew it..
Why, o are in the richest country
possible, you have every advantage;
there is no reason why Fargo should
not continue to grow for many years.
1t has not yet reached it's limit by
any I have visited Fargo many
times and each visit shows an i'm
I'rovement."
When asked about his pioneer life
Colonel Cody said that his work was
west of the Missouri and in Kansas
and Nebraska.
But I have watched the growth of
all this country said Colonel Cody.
Il believe in it and in Nebraska. 1

SALOONS DOOMED
IN IDAHO STATE

Boise, Idaho, July 1O.-Idaho has the
distinction of having three prohibition
parties in the field this year. Whether
republicans, democrats or progreSsives
carry the election in November, state
wide prohibition is certain to come
either at once through legislative en-
actment or eventually through con-
stitutional amendment.
In any event, and whichever way the
election goes, the licensed saloon seems
doomed,
Platform conventions were held by
the four political parties. including the
socialists, under the terms Of the new
primary election law. These conven-
tons were mode up of delegates from
all the counties-three times as many
as h number of legislators. They all
met on the same day and all filed their
platforms on the same day with the
secretary of state.
Excerpts From Platforms.
On the liquor issue the republican
convention Endorsed the cause of ma
tional prohibition and then said:
1--WE hereby declare in favor of state
wide prohibition within the state of
Idaho, and to that end favor the sub
mission to the voters of this state by
the next legislative assembly of a con-
stitutional amendment ~embodying that
| provision. and in the event of the fail
ure of the republican party to secure
the two-thirds vote in the legislature
necessary to he passage of a resolu-
ton of submission, we pledge our
members of the legislative to the pass
age of a direct prohibition legislative
enactment.
The progressives inherited this plank
in their state platform:
1--WE declare for statewide prohibi-
ton Of the liquor traffic to be secured,
first by legislative enactment, and sec
ond, by submission to the people for
their approval Of a constitutional
amendment. We pledge our senators
and representatives in congress to
work and vote for national prohibi-
ton" @.
In the democratic convention there
was a hard fight for silence on the
question. There was also a strong
sentiment for a municipal unit plank.
The following was finally adopted:
1--WE favor the submission to the vot-
ers of the state of a constitutional
amendment forever prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
| liquors therein, and pledge our candi-
dates to the next legislature to the
submission of such amendment in
1916"
Why Democrats Have Chance.
There is this distinction: While the
republicans and progressives are
| pledged to the enactment of a law as
we'll as the submission of a constitu-
| tionaI amendment, the democrats are
pledged only to the submission OF an
| amendment.
For this reason it is thought there Is
strong likelihood of the election Of a
democratic legislature mex fall. The
vets are expected to favor the dem
ocrats, for a democratic legislature
would give them two years longer in
which to transact business and more
time to prepare to fight the constitu-
tional amendment.

CONFER
With PRESIDENT

Washington, July 10.-Thirty-ive
members of the National Association
of Supervisors of State Banks We're
received by President Wilson at the
White House yesterday and had a con-
ference later at the treasury depart
ment with Secretary McAdOo, Assist
ant Secretary Hamlin and Comptroll-
err of the Currency Williams concern
ing the new federal reserve banks and
their cooperation with the banks of
the various states.
The bank supervisors were especial
ly anxious to learn whether the new
federal reserve banks will act as clear
ing houses for banks Which are not
members of the federal reserve system.
Comptroller Williams said the federal
reserve board must decide that ques-
ton, but expressed the opinion that
the new banks will clear for member
banks only.
President Wilson, in greeting the
bankers, assured them Of his desire
that the new federal reserve banks
and the banking systems of the var
ious states, shall work in harmony.
II am sure that we can count on
your assistance" he said, and your
assistance will be necessary to US if
we are to put the banking of the u
try Upon the proper relation to bust
ness"
Mr.. McAdoo made a brief address
to the supervisors in which he dis
cussed the general financial conditions
and expressed the belief that the coun
try is about to experience a period of
unprecedented prosperity. He said
business conditions are sound and eX-
planned that recent movements of gold
to Europe should cause no uneasiness
as this country has an abundance of
gold and can assist Eurorean coun-
tries in building up their reserves
without imperilling the gold supply
of the United States.
There was a discussion of uniform
reports for state and national banks
and a plan was outlined for an annual
conference of national bank superin-
tendents with the federal reserve
board that a more careful supervision

The unthinking life some people

dreadfully from Indigestion, always
having eaten whatever I liked, not
thinking of the digestible qualities.
This indigestion caused palpatation OF

stopping to regain breath and

Il became alarmed and tried diet
ing, wore my clothes very loose, and
used other remedies, but found no re-
lief.

Nuts and Postum, commenced using
them in place Of my usual breakfast
of coffee, cakes or hot biscuit, and in
one weeks time 7 was relieved Of
sour stomach and other ills attending
indigestion. In months time my
heart was performing its functions

German plans Upset

Petrograd, Oct. 10 (via London, Oct.
Is Fighting between German and
Russian troops is now going on with
in eight miles of Warsaw Russian
Poland.
The official decision to defend the
city of Warsaw is regarded here as
important in two ways. First: 1t in
dicates that the Germans have been
thwarted in their attempts to straight
en- their front along a north and south
line so that it would extend from Os-
trollenka, go miles northeast Of War
saw, through Sandomir into Galicia;
aid Second: The Germans have been
obstructed in their plan to use War
saw as winter quarters.
With the exception of an engage
ment south of Przemysl, where the
Russian left wing is reported as hav-
ing been successful in repulsing the
advancing Austrian and Germans ac-
tivity at various points to the south.
German troops are around Polangen
and Jurburg, just across the boundary
Of northeast Prussia. The Russians
at present are making no effort to
advance farther than the east boun-
dairy Of east Prussia. Here the fight
ing has ceased, while along the south
ern limits Of east Prussia there are
few troops of either army until the
VistuIa river is reached Here the
Germans are endeavoring to advance
along the left bank Of the stream to
avert the strong fortress of Georgevsk
on the right bank.
The Russian experts are of the
opinion that the German plan is to
atte tnpt to carry the war into east
Galicia and the Lemberg district This

rME FAIR

The state fair mas again gone into
history. There is the usual chorus of
complaint that it wasn't state fair
and that it didn't come up to specifi-
cations, says the Sana Fe New Mex
lean.
The New Mexican doesn't want to
be unpleasantly critical or carping 1t
doesn't want to appear in the light of
knocking Albuquerque. But as
state. not an Albuquerque institution,
something ought to be done about this
state fair. 1t is unsatisfactory, it is
not state fair; it does not deliver
the goods; and every frank newspaper
in the state will join US in the state
ment that it is not success.
We do not assume to say what the
trouble is. Perhaps it is insufficient
money; there may be many things the
nlatter with the fair. At all events it
lis up to the people and the legisla-
ture of New Mexico to realize that
something must be done We must
have a state fair. We must have an an
Inual development exposition and holi-
day time for the people of the state.
albuquerque is the central city and
tho only practical place to hold the
fair.
one suggestion occurs to us. A San
Joan county farmer told us the other
day that the largest cash prize offer
ed county exhibitors was $130. He con-
trasted this with the vastly dispropor-
Itionate largest purse offered in the
horse racing. He declared that If sums
hike $500 and 1000 we're offered agri-
cultural and livestock exhibitors, and
Inducements made Of sufficient size to
really interest the state empire build
.ers, it would be easy to get together
every year a products exposition
which would bring people from all
lON6T- lll6 SOuJllW6S llC ScbilCu NNtSA
ton to the fact that livestock sales at
the Iowa safe fair every year ran into
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
lthe possibility of making the fair
trade and commercial as well as an
exhibition event
If the fair needs more money, let
this state wake up and appropriate it..
If 1t needs more thought and ability
and ingenuity, certainly we ought to
be able to find it in this state. If it
needs ADLER management, we ought to
be able to supply it. At all events We
ought to do something and do some
thing at once to make this annual
event one to which we shall always
look backward with pleasure and
pride instead Of apologies.

NAY CAPTURE sARDINE TRADE

Bangor, Me-, Oct 16.-That the sar-
dine cannerles Of Maine now have the
greatest opportunity of their history
before them is the opinion of Dr..
Hugh M Smith, United States COM
missioner of fisheries, VINO has been
connected with a federal demonstra-
ton to sardine packers Of methods of
improving the Maine sardine output,
He says;
In 1918 France exported to the
United States sardines vaued at ST.
100000 Norway sent 100000 cases,
and thousands of cases came from
England, Spain and Portgual. But it
was left for the state of Maine to hold
the foremost place in supplying the
United States. It's output in 1913
was 100000 cases, valued at more
than $2,OOO,OOO, which is double the
value of the French 'mportations.
"This year all imported sardines
will be among the missing luxuries on
account of the great war. Norway
has officially forbidden the export Of
them. believing there will be short
age of food at home; France can get
neither fishermen, packers nor trans.
ponation on account of the war. so
now Maine has the opportunity to step
in and claim the right of way over all
other nations. The United States
bureau of fisheries is convinced that
if the state appreciates the opening
and looks to quality rather than 10
quantity, it can win out There is
an abundance Of material within easy
reach. The condition Of the sardine
fishery in Europe resulting from the
war has given the sardine Gamers Of
Maine chance that may never come
again to occupy the market that has
been largely given over to foreign
goods. But if American sardines are
to be raised to the French standard
the Maine fisheries must resort to
great care and precautions. both in
