WONDERFUL STAND
OF SMALL GRAIN
Rlchland county's Crop For This
:, Year Wilt BE Enormous
And Of First Grade
BARLEY IS NOW BEING CUT
Most Of tho Rye In tho Shock And
Wheat and Oats is
Progressing Good

In aggregate volume the small
grain crop of Richland Co., has
never been so promising for rec
ord yields. With the exception Of
a portion of the Red River valley
which has suffered some impair
ment from excessive moisture the
reports speak in nothing but
glowing terms of the wonderful
stand Of grain. The crop has been
maturing slowly because Of the
cool temperatures and the har-
vest is later this season than US
ual, but rye and barley is being
cut and oats and wheat in some
of the southern sections may be
ready next week.
The wheat crop is maturing
with considerable irregularity,
which will tend to delay general
harvesting in areas where by the
first of August cutting should be
general. This peculiar condition
may cause more than the usual
worry over the possibility of black
rust damage owing to the discov-
cries of two or three sporadic
cases of the infection in the fields
of South Dakota and Minnesot
These we have every year, but on
ly twice in IA years has the inn
pairment ever been serious. Were
it not that the crop is late this
season the danger would now be
passed. Climatic conditions the
next 10 days will determine whe.
ther this to be a real menace or
merely the usual speculative
scare.
The present stand Of wheat
promises to fulfill that rather
vague volume of measure called
bumper. In this, at least, Richland
County is safeguarded by a very
large margin for shrinkage be-
fore possible adverse develop
ments can cut the crop even to az
average production. The samples
of the grain that have been
brought in from the fields the
last week to this office, show a
very vigorous growth, heavy in
straw of excellent color, with
large heads and filling we'll, but
of course, not yet beyond the
touch of harm. But it would be q
year most peculiar that did not
bring it's period of temporary
worry and this has been such a
strange spring and summer eli
matically that the wheat pit is
likely to be more than unusually
sensitive to intimations of rust
damage, could easily exaggerate

Geo. N. Woods, Promoter is Well

Speed iiends and motor enthus-
lasts of Wahpeton and vicinity
are expected to flock to Fargo
next Saturday to witness the au-
tomobile races which will wind up
the Interstate fair. As the Bat
tie Creek man used to say:
''There's A Reason"
In this case, however, there are
two reasons. One is that the drlv-
ers include some Of the greatest
race pilots in the country, such as
Louis Disbrow, track champion;
Eddie Hearne, the Chicago mil
lionaire; Johnny Rainey, for two
years worlds light car champion;

the facts and expand into specu-
lative activity.
OF greater substance to the
market, however, than fears Of
crop damage, is the broadening of
the export demand for the great
domestic surplus. The position Of
the international market in re-
lation to our wheat is more clear
now than it was at the beginning
of the new crop season. Until the
harvests of the Southern Hemis-
phere, Argentine and Australia,
are available, which will be next
winter, the North American sur
plus will be, as it was last year.

Some Practical Recipes

II copy from family cook book used during long term of years a few prac- tical recipes that may be acceptable to your readers and members. No. Is our seem little odd I vouch for It's excel- lence when the directions are obeyed i'm. plicitly.
 Pie Crust-Sift half teaspoonful of cream of tartar. a quarter teaspoonful of soda, and half teasponful of salt with three cups of pastry four Chop into this two-thirds of cup of nice shorten ing, and mix to a rather stiff paste with ice water. Roll out quickly.
 This is as nice as French puff paste, not nearly so expensive, and requires not one-third as much work.
 And have you ever tried frying pine- apple as an accompaniment to roast beef or lamb? You would not publish the name of the brand of canned pineapple which prefer to any other. Therefore I leave to readers the selection of that which they have used and liked. Whatever is chosen must be firm and each slice whole
 Fried Pineapple-Select firm slices of canned pineapple and drain off every drop of syrup. Lay upon tissue paper or a soft cloth in a broad dish to finish this part of the work. When you are ready to cook it, have ready enough butter in frying pan to cover the pineapple. Make 1t hissing hot, and fry the slices, turn ing as the upper side browns delicately. Drain off the fat in a wide colander and send to table very hot.
 You cannot believe until you have tried it how delicious this is eaten with a meat course.
 Here is another invention of ours which may seem yet more odd to most cooks and eaters:
 Baked Canned Peaches-Butter a rather wide. flat bake dish and cover the bot tom with halved or whole canned peaches Pour about them enough of the liquor from the can to half cover the fruit put teaspoonful of butter upon each peach. cover and bake 15 minutes. Then un- cover and cook to a light brown. Serve with roast chicken or guinea fowl or duck. The flavor is delightful Some think it particularly fine when the peaches are whole. with the stones left in. The slight touch of bitter almond adds sest to the 'sauce'"

The first of these delightful affairs occurred last evening when Miss Catherine Jones entertained about 15o of the school and college set at her home on Elm street
 This lovely and hospitable home was made bright and attractive with all kinds of white flowers and trailing ivy to carry out green and white color scheme and white asters and roses were massed about the dainty punch bowl which was placed in the living room.

Dolly Corners the Motion Picture Contest Editor
 And Asks Him Some Pert ard Pertinent Ouestiotss

and lately one of filmland's dazzling stars (playing in 'Kindling) took up the cudgels against the statement that there was any objection to the surroundings and atmos- phere of the moving picture industry. Sne stoutly defended the moral. mental and educational advantages of the movies and she put to shame those who had dared suggest such things. The fact that the foremost actresses, Geraldine Farrar, Julia Dean, Janet Beecher, Ethel Barry more, Fanny Ward, Mrs. Leslie Carter, and all the rest have gone in for moving pictures, shows that the profession is one that is approved by the best class of people on the legitimate stage, as well as off"

 This moving picture contest reminds me of good story I heard once that the late Bishop Potter used to tell on him. self:
 Travelling in the west it seems he be- came conscious of the continued stare of the man who sat opposite him in the train.
 Finally curiosity got the better of his companion, who, leaning across the dis tance, said:
 Seems to me, stranger, I've seen your picture in the paper somewhere"
 Perhaps you did" answered the genial bishop kindly. Occasionally my features have appeared in print"
 Well, then,'' drawled the westerner, what was you cured off"
