done by the hail, sweeping a strip Of
country twenty to thirty miles long
and from three to five miles wide.

AN AGRICULTURAL
+ COUNTY FAIR
Proposition to Hold Such Fall
This Fan

The good crops and general fav-
orable prospects for Stutsman county
this year have stirred up renewed in
terest in the project of reviving the
Stutsman county fair. "A number 6,
gentlemen of the city met Tuesday
and concluded to get the opinion of
leading farmers around the county
as to the advisability of holding a
county fair.
The city now has full control of
the grounds and buildings and every
thing practically ready at the
grounds for the holding Of fair.
Mayor Kelley and Prof. Dorchert of
the Better Farming association and
others will learn the sentiment as
soon as possible in regard to this
proposition at a meeting to be held
on August 4 at 2 pm. at the city
hall. Mayor Kelley sent out a num-
ber of. invitations to farmers and
others throughout the county calling
a meeting for organizing. Repre-
sentative men of the villages Of the
county have also been invited. Many
residents of the county have already
expressed themselves as desirous OF
holding an exhibition of farm and
home products this fall and it is ex-
pected that live farmers fair will
be held.
The fair can be held without cost
for the use of the buildings. The
county has material in stock, grains
and grasses to make bumper fair
at which to show tho possibilities OF
the county and to afford an oppor-
tunity to get together and find out
what the other fellow is doing.

GENERAL Rain
THRUoUT STATE
Hot Weather Period Followed
by Fine Rainfall

The last week or ten days of hot
weather, which has been very trying
on maturing grain crops, has been in
terrupted by fine rain which began
throughout the state Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning. At James
town, rain began falling at about 4
o'clock am. and continued for five
hours In a steady, soaking down
pour. The rain will do an immense
amount Of good to the crops and be
the making of potatoes, which need
ed rain very much. Corn, oats, bar
ley; millet and other crops -will 7aise
be Immensely benefited, and late
wheat will be helped a great deal. 1t
Is a question, however, just what the
effects of the rain will be on some of
the wheat, which has just been bad
ly hit by rust and the intense heat
which has been unusually long con-
tinued.
Extent of Rain.
The extent of the rain is such as
to cover all the Northern Pacific ter
ritory from Fargo to Dickinson and
beyond, and from Leeds to Oakes.
All over the N. P. system good rain
is reported at the N. p. headquarters.
From Steele to Bismarck the rain
was very heavy.
At Dickinson, Tuesday, over four
inches of rain fell in two hours,
causing flood to run into the streets
from the hills and damaging the bus
mess section much in the same way
as recently at Mandan and Bismarck.
The railroad culverts at Dickinson
were blocked by debris and the water
backed up into the main street flood
ing the basement of buildings. The
st. Charles hotel basement was flood
ed and cutters, culverts and cross
ings in all parts of the city were
blocked by water and debris. The
sewers were unable to carry off the
water.
During the afternoon fire oc-

sured. The fire is believed to have
been caused by lightning. A large
amount of lime stored in the ware
house was Stacked by the water.
Hail also struck in the vicinity OF
Dickinson, causing heavy crop dam
age within a radius of eight miles.
Telephone lines have been torn
down by the storm and the Heart
and Little Missouri rivers overaowed
their banks. Wrecking crews were
started from Mandan to repair the
track. No. Of Tuesday was still
held at Dickinson Wednesday on ac-
count Of track damage.

Urges Limit Of Children,

The necessity of ousekeeping and
raising a family is the bar which
keeps women from attaining eminence
and leadership in the worlds affairs.
This is the contention of Leta Stel-
Ia Hollingworth. of New York, who
publishes statistics and deductions IN
the current issue of the American
journal Of Sociology, in which she de-
clares women possess intellectual acu-
men equal to or greater than that of
men.
Miss Hollingworth states her pa :
per Is the outcome of a prolonged
reflection on the doctrine of greater
male variability advanced by the psy-
choloeist, E. l.. Thorndike. DR.. Thorn
dike's contention is that because men
differ in intelligence and energy by
wider extremes than do women, emf
nence in the worlds affairs 'inevita-
bly, belongs to them, and they often
er deserve it,"
Family Should Be Limited.
Miss Hollingworth prints d com
piiation of statistics gained from en-
periments and measurements of men
and women which tend to show
women have greater range and are
more variable in their intellects and
energies than men. Her conclusion
is that women should limit the num-
Der of children they bear and find a
way to vary from their mode as men
do, for both the enrichment of So
