Dakota Crop. Prsmi.e Bumper Yields.

Dakota Crops Premise Bumper Yields.
Every indication points to the
fact that North Dakota will continue
to be one Of the few bright spots in.
the financial world. This is due
to the fact that crop yields promise
to be excellent and this fact togeth-
er with only fair crops in other sec
tions will mean that the big war
will force prices up to a most profit
able basis. Within the past week,
the Northeastern Bankers Head
quarters at Grand Forks have re-
ceived and tabulated crop reports
which have been forwarded them
by their bank members. These
reports are most interesting and
encouraging. Wheat, oats and
barley are in excellent condition
with no signs of rust. Rye is maxi
ing fair showing considering the
frost setback and even corn may
make a partial crop in some Sec
tons. This information comes from
all over the state also.

Campbell At Sitting Bull. Grave


The following interview in the
Mandan News by Attorney j. T..
Campbell was inspired during a re-
sent visit to Fort Yates and is as
fine a sentiment us has found it's
way into any newspaper on the
question OF war and peace:
81 was at Fort Yates the other
day and while there visited the
grave Of Sitting Bull, the notorious
Sioux chief and Medicine man, and
as | stood above the dust Of the old
warrior, ] thought OF lngersolPs
soliloquy at the grave OF Napoleon,
and saw great similarity between
she two. Both Sitting Bull and
Napoleon We're cruel, selfish and
barbaro&s, men in whom the brute
instincts prcdoMinated and stitled
I'LL the humane characteristics of
love and kindness
Neither ever thought OF country,
civilization, Christianity or loved
ones, in their cruel march towards
glory and refuwn. With them it
was fame without honor, and IL
longing for power and personal
benefit that made them glory in the
destruction of all the Christian and
civilized virtues OF their age. AS !
stood there and thought Of the MUIR
derous cruelties of those two men,
i decided that Red Tommy Hawk
and the Duke OF Wellington each
did noble service to the world in
removing those monsters OF cruelty
from the pleasant paths OF those
who live in love, righteousness and
peace.
II believe the most humble wo-
man hi the Salvation Army is doing
more good in the world than all
the warriors that ever lived. She
goes through the world with love
in her heart and a sweet song on
her lips, all the while holding out
to those who suffer a great hope.
Ii all the instincts and charac-
teristics that controlled Sitting Bull
and Napoleon were banished from
the hearts Of men, there would be
no more war or rumors OF war.
Let avarice and selfishness die out
of the human heart, then peace like
the babbling brook, will go on for
ever.

North Dakot. Crop. Looking Fine

All North Dakota is now interest
ed in crop conditions because good
crops mean prosperous business con-
ditions. AS a consequence when
the news from all over North Dako-
ia indicates that conditions are most
favorable as is now the case, there
is general rejoicing. North Dakota
has been greatly favored the presents
year in weather conditions. Plenty
of rain in most sections (the COVER
ment weather bureau at Grand Forks
reports 7.34 inches Of rainfall for
June which is close to a record fall,)
fine warm growing weather, and an
absence, so far, of hot winds.
The Russell road grader recently
bought for the county was brought
down from Cannonball Saturday
and has been assembled and ready
for work. Considerable road work
has been planned in this vicinity
for the next two months.

How Often Shall Corn be Cultivated

How Often Shall Corn be Cultivated
At the Illinois Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, in test lasting
five years, corn cultivated to an
average depth, three to five times as
the varying seasons required, yield
ed 6S.5 bushels per acre, while that
cultivated nine to fifteen times
yielded but 6S.6 bushels per acre.
The number OF required cultiva-
tons varies considerably with the
season. In years when the soil is
packed by heavy and frequent rains
and weed growth is correspondingly
troublesome, civilizations must nee
essarily be more frequent than if
the opposite conditions exist. 1t is
also probably true that cold, wet,
heavy soil need more frequent cul-
tivations than do the opposite kinds.
In actual practices, however, it
seldom pays to cultivate less than
three times or more than five times.
S. P. Buckley was down from
Solen on business Saturday.
A. G. Wells, farmer III charge Of
Cannonball district, was business

He stated that work Of dipping in

Crops are also looking fine up his
way and the prospects are that the
Indian farmers will receive boun-
tiful reward for their labor this

SIX HUNDRED AT MASS

More than 600 Japanese met in the

citizens in Honolulu. The meeting
was opened, by DR.. M. Negoro, chair
man of the Japanese protective COM

sections of the city. The committee
also urged that ''the intolerable con-
ditien existing at the present time" be

VAUDEVILLE IS
RAGE This week

Vaudeville is the rage this week at
the Popular theater. The three acts
running at Manager Hughes Hotel
street house drew another large and
appreciative audience last night, and
together with the program Of moving
pictures furnished entertainment that
pleased the patrons. The three vaude-
Vile features we're all given applause,
and recalls were the rule.
Miss Hamilton and Mr.. Barnes re-
peated their previous successes in
their clever and witty skit entitled
Just Fun Their bright repartee ON
the street. In which a wheeIbarrow
served part of the time the purposes
of settee, kept the audience in a
roar of laughter,
Miss Annie Kent sang some more
Of her original songs, and danced just
as gracefully as ever Her constant
patter fairly teemed with humor and
her comedy was clever. Miss Kent's
popularity is increasing as the, week
lengthens, and 1t seems to be no trotr
BILE for her to win new friends and
admirers
The same may be said of Fred Dwy-
er, the Welsh boxersoloist, who gives
one of the best acts seen here in a
long time. Dwyer is clever with the
gloves, light as panther upon his
feet sings well in rich barton voice
and gives some valuable directions as
to how to train your body to be
healthy.

Investigation Shows That No
Attempt Was Made to Get
Player.

Early in the season a story came
from the Middle West to the effect
that Dartmouth was trying to we2n
from the University OF Minnesota
football player named Quist. The
story was accredited to DR.. NJ. L. vii.
liams. the Minnesota coach. AMI it
looked as though a rather raw case
of proseiyting had come to light.
Dartmouth alumni were so indis-
nant when they read the story tina Y
they began at once a thorough inves-
tigation of the matter. 4 statement
OF the facts discovered appears in
the current issue of the Dartmouth
alumni magazine, and shows clearly
that the story was the result of n
misunderstanding and that Dartmouth
men were in no way to blame. The
statement reads in parts as follows
"Quist had for some years past been

alumni Of the institution and had
learned from them that an impecuni-

announcement.
