homestead, eighteen miles southeast
of Dickinson, for the purpose of fur.

.Neighbors for two miles around the
place recognized the man who so mys-

freely of the way they used to ex-
change work and visits. It was like

When the party came over the hill
to the homestead, where still stands
the 12x14 claim house, Caldwell was
deeply affected. He pointed out the
spring down the creek, the old coal
bank and many other landmarks. On
the way home, when he pointed out
the farm burying ground where his
mother was buried twelve years ago,
he showed deep emotion.

Tells Of Taking German FIao.


Partisan officer of a French rifle
regiment gives to the Petit Troyen the
following account of the capture of the
first German flag:
The engagement Of the French
troops with the Ninety-ninth brigade
of Germans lasted from $3.50 a. M. to
9 at night.
THE artillery combat was terrible
The French 75-millimeter guns made
havoc among the German horses and
then reduced the heavy German guns
to silence. The gunners were decim-
ated by the French fire and they aban-
doned their pieces, which fell into
French hands. i
THE German machine guns from a
church steeple continued to ravage the
French, but the church finally was de-
molished.
"At nightfall the French charged
the enemy's defense work with IRE
sistible energy and took them at the
point of the bayonet. They estab-
lished themselves there for the night.
I'm this action the Fifth company
of the First battalion captured a Ger
man flag, with eight guns. 80 horses
and 537 prisoners, including ten off,

TIME TO SECURE SEED CORN
Movement For Selection For 1915 10
Started Throughout North
Dakota.

Grand FOrks.-The annual move.
ment for the conservation of seed corn
has commenced in North Dakota, be.
ing launched again by Thomas Coop.
er, director of the experimental sta.
ton. In a statement covering the sit
uation, he says: 4,
Time to Insure Crop.
"Now is the time to insure next
years corn crop. Home grown seed
insures mature corn next year. Now
is the time to secure the home grown
seed. Select. the seed corn in the
field. This gives opportunity to see
the kind of stalks that the ear is
grown on. as we'll as the kind of ear.
The stalk is an important consid-
Grafton. The North Dakota corn crop
will be largely handled by machinery.
and a corn should be grown that can
be handled in this city. One of the
requirements is that the ears be car
ried high enough from the ground so
that the cor can be cut with the
corn binder. Another important
point: A good ear from a hill that
has produced three or four good ears
is better than a similar ear from a
Hill that has produced just one ear.
Curing Of Corn.
When the seed corn has been Sc
lected the next thing is to cure it;
the curing consists in drying the seed.
If it freezes before being dry, the
termination qualities are destroyed.
AS soon as the corr has been gath.
cred, hang it up in a place where the
air can circulate freely, and where 1t
is protected from rain. When freez.
ing weather comes, if the corn is not
dry it must be kept in Il room kept
above freezing. Artificial heat can
be used i'll drying corn, but it is best
to let it air dry for a while ut first.
Corn is fast becoming one of the
most important crops in North Dakota
farming. Adoption of seed corn to
II soil and climatic conditions must
be made right in the locality. Better
seed corn can be secured from your
own orn field, If we'll cared for, than
can be brought in from a distance"

OFFICER SHOOTS NEGROES
Fargo Policeman Kills One and
Wounds Another in Fight
Threatened.

Farso.-1n a revolver duel with
Allen Johnson, Officer Charles Ander-
son fired six shots, wounding George
Clemans in the leg and killing Allen
Johnson. Both men are negroes.
Officer Anderson was p%atrolling the
hollow. Walking through the hollow
he heard quarreling on the porch of
the Massey house. To investigate, he
stopped nea the house when Johnson
ordered him to move on. Anderson
paid no attention and Johnson opened
fire with a revolver which he had held
in his hand. The officer Immediately
drew his gun and fired. In the melee
George Clemens, who managed the
rooming house, was shot in the leg.
Johnson crouched on the ground
after firing the first shot and con-
tinued shooting from the ground. The
men were only a few feet apart and
1t is only a miracle that Anderson
escaped being killed himself.
After the shooting had stopped the
negroes living in the vicinity flocked
around with threats to get the officer
but he st,0d his ground and held
them at bay until help m When
the other officers arrived it was
thought at first that the negro was
dead but examination revealed that
he was still breathing. An ambulance
was summoned and both wounded
men were taken to the hospital where
Johnson died.
The fight which attracted the at.
tention of Anderson was over a
woman. There was a white man who
came to the house in company with
the dead negro and there Johnson at
tempted to take Clemans' wife away
from him.

CROP FALLS OFF 100000 Blu.
This Years Wheat Yield Below That
Of 1918, BY That Figure, Is
Estim ate.


Grand Forks.-The 1914 wheat crop
in North Dakota will be smaller than
that of 1913 by $4,000, 900 according to
the estimate made by M. LeCount,
crop expert.
The crop of 1918, amounted to 49,
OO0,C bushels. while Mr.. LeCount
estimates that this years crop will
not come to more than 1000, 900
bushels.
That this falling off is general
throughout the northwest is shown by
the estimates made by the same ex-
pert for South Dakota and Minnesota.
He says that the Minnesota crop this
year will amount to about 4 Z 1000, 900
bushels, against G., 1000, 900 bushels in
1913, and that the South Dakota crop
will show a drop from 48, 200, 900 BUSH
els to 6 5000, 900 bushels.
AS far as North Dakota is concerned
it is probable that the smaller crop is
largely due to the spread of the better
farming movement encouraging the
planting of corn, and the raising of
cattle instead of raising wheat exclu-
sively.
It is true, however, that the wheat
crop has not justified expectations of
the earlier part of the season, and
will not average more than twelve
bushels to the acre.

sUFFRAGIsTs SCENT VICTORY.
Prospects Look Very Rosy to Leaders
OF "votes For Women"
Campaign.

Fargo.-Prospects for suffrage vic.
tories in North and South Dakota this
fall look SO rosy to suffrage leaders
in these two states and the northwest
in general hat the Dakotas are being
placed in the 'votes for women" col
umn by enthusiastic compaigners.
The chances for success are be-
lieved to be a shade better in South
Dakota. Years ago. when suffrage
was first put to a vote in South Da-
kota, it was defeated by the Russian
vote in the eastern part of the state.
Since that time the Black Hills dis.
trict in the west had been populated;
more Swedes and Norwegians have
moved into the state and the change
in public sentiment toward the suf-
frage movement has aided the cause
materially.
Five thousand dollars was appor.
toned by the National Suffrage organ
ization to aid the fight III South Da-
kota. Practically every county in the
state has been organized and in some
counties, such al Bon Homme, there
are several suffrage organizations for
the different nationalities. The Mes.
selger, a suffrage paper, is being cir
culated.
In North Dakota. the fight is a hard.
err one, principally because the pro.
posed constitutional amendment grant.
ing women the right to vote must
have a majority of not only the votes
cast on the suffrage question, but of
all the votes cast at the election. The
principal efforts of the suffrage cam
paigners are being directed to calling
attention of the voters to the proposed
amendment. They believe that if
every a who goes to the polls in
November casts his ballot on the SUI.
frage question they will win a decided
victory.

Zeppelin Does Damage
The official bureau announced the
receipt of a telegram tonight from Sir
Francis Villiers, British minister to

Zeppelin airship passed over Antwerp
last night and dropped six Sharpnel
bombs into the city. One landed near
the palace, but the inmates were unin-
jured. Much damage was done to
property and IL lives were lost.
The message from Francis declares
this act has intensified the indigna-

sued the following tonight: "There
have been no further general engage
ments. The condition of British
troops in every way is satisfactory"
