MILLERS MEET
AT CROOKSTON

The meeting Of millers OF the Red
river valley at Crookston was not as
largely attended as was expected
though there was a good representa- =
ton from the different localities. The
Injecting 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 gains and
those particular varieties Of wheat
which have proven best for milling in
order to maintain the established high
standard 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
and Grand Forks; E. Van HOuten, of
ton. L. Hanson, of Ada, was chosen
chairman of the meeting, and 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 mllers are
keenly alive to the truth of the state
ment made by j. J. Hill, tsat the ex-
port trade must not be allowed to suf-
fer permanently, but to the contrary,
now is a rare opportunity to attempt
to gain new ground for the future. At
ter a lengthy discussion, a committee
was auth OriZed to be appointed by the
chairman TO watch the interest of the
milling Industry Of this section in the
export situation.

civilized world and which probably
numbers at the present time, in it's
various patrols, more than 100000
scouts.

Steamers Could Be Built.
New York Herald: Shipbuilding
| concerns in the United States could
turn out within one year from the
start of the hostilities in Europe more
than 100000 gross tonnage in vessels
that could be used in TRANSATLANTIC
service according to a statement given
out at the offices of the American bu-
reau of shipping. This would be ap
proXimately- one-half of the total ton
mage in which financial interests in
this country hold stock in foreign
countries.
Reports received from all the ship
constructing plants on the Atlantic
seaboard show that nearly 100 aver
age sized ocean-going steamships
could be built in the yards stretching
from Maine to Virginia. They could
be completed within twelve months
from the time of making contract and
would give such an impetus to Ameri-
can shipping as never has been known.
Many concerns on the Atlantic sea-
board have a capacity for ships of 81
600 gross tonnage irrespective of the
work on the immense war vessels in
the different yards. A great network
of shipbuilding concerns lies from
New England to the Virginia shores,
and some of them have produced the
largest commercial steamships that
have been constructed in this country.

Arthur. n. D., Aug. ga distress
sing accident occurred two miles
south of Arthur Thursday evening
v hen two "speeders" on the G. n
railroad met in head-on collision
while travelling at a high rate of
speed. One speeder was going from
Hunter to Casselton and the Utner
from Vance TO Arthur. Neither had
their lights on and both machines
were wrecked.
The four men who were painfully
injured were thrown forty feet and
were carried to Emil BoettCher's
house. Drs. Campbell and Baillle
were summoned and dressed their III
Wries. The tower man from Vance
had an ear nearly torn off and his
skull was fractured and is not eX

were able to be taken to their homes.
The speeder from Hunter had the
right of-way as the track was re-

EVENING Grain [ e+fnr

Chicago Aug. 22.-Wheat: A con-
tinuat1on of the commission house
buylng which has been in evidence
the past two days was again the cause
OF higher prices. Cash prices are
keeping in step with the futures. There
was some inquiry here for export
wheat. In our opinion some reaction
1rom this level should be experience
ed when purchases can be made.
Corn: Has worked higher with
other grains although the trade has
been comparatively small Country
@merings continue small. Shipping de-
@and was moderate as is usual on a
saturday. Corn prospects continue un-
favorable in a large area of the belt,
although weather is generally clear
and cool. Corn in our opinion can
safely be bought on all soft spots.
Oats: This market was again the
center of activity with a large gen
eral trade on both sides. Cash de-
mand was good and it was reported
that all over night offers to the east
for export were accepted. There was
also a good demand by commission
houses for futures on speculative ac-
count. Country offerings have de-
creased on this advance. All recess
sions should be taken advantage of
to make purchases. ....

new BANK BEING
FORMED AT PERLEY

new bank is being organized at
Perley, which will be known as the
Farmers & Merchants bank of Perley
and in which a number of prominent
business men and bankers of Perley
and MOorhead are interested.
The new institution will open up for
business about Oct. l and will have a
capital stock of 100000 and a surplus
of $4,000. Among those who are inter
ested in the new institution are S. S.
Dalen, Gust E. Erickson, B. o. Lee, o.

unrepresented in the Farm Boys camp
this year. In addition to the eighty
two boys. selected in essay contests,
there will be twenty-si boys selected
from the congressional districts as
units, four boys sent to the fair from
the West Central and Northwest Min
nesota Development associations, ana
thirty boys from the State Agricultural
school at Morris. The boys from the
congressional districts have been mem
bers of previous camps. All but a few
minor expenses will be paid by the
fair. During the week the boys will
spend part of their time ushering in
the grandstand and livestock pavilion.
Specialists will take them on tours
about the grounds at other times, ex-
planning various exhibits.
Another feature not to be forgotte en- Is
the spelling contest, in which George
r. Howard, in charge, asserts over 100
children will take part. Nearly forty
counties have already sent in the names
belng sent from each county. These
children have been selected by elimina-
ton spelling contests held in the coun-
ties since last fall. There is certain to
be strenuous competition when these
boys and girls meet to decide the SPELL
ing championship of the state.
Beginning at 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing, Sept. II. written contest will be
list. of 100 words selected by. three
disinterested judges In the afternoon
the oral contest will be held. Easy
words will given, first, although Mr.
Howard expects to end up in the die
tionary, so much respect does he have
for the ability of the contestants. Last
year three books were used before the
champion was picked.
This year, in addition to the regular
corn show, which promises to be larg-
er than last year, a boys corn show is
to be held in which boys who took
part in the 1913 acre-yieId corn contest
will compete. It is expected that a
large show of corn will result from this
innovation. Many entries of corn have
been made, and there will be keen
competition between the different sec
tions of the state to determine which
is supreme in the world of corn Lib
eral prizes areoffered. The show will
be a permanent feature.

START MADE ON OILING
STREETS OF CAKES

Oakes, N. D.. Aug. 22.-The city has
made start on street oiling. tank
load of 5000 gallons has been received
and the first was spread on the street
this week for one block. 1t Is figured
that this tank load will be enough for
the length of six blocks which will be
spread on Main and Second streets. The
oil has 40 per cent of asphaltum in it.,
and when set will not track. The oil
is being spread by tank borrowed
from Fargo.
This consignment is in the nature of
an experiment. If 1T measures up to
expectations, and there is no reason
why 1T should not unless 1t is in the
loose dirt drifting over 1t, it will be
extended in time TO cover the streets of
the entire city. There is nothing agree
able about the loose sand and dirt on
our streets on a windy day, and If OIL
ing will keep down the sand and dirt
by all means let it be extended rapidly
as possible.
