COLD WAVE STRIKES
NORTH. DAKOTA
THERMOMETER REGISTERED 20
DEGREES EARLY TUESDAY
ORNING-LITTLE FRUIT FOR
NORTH DAKOTA THIS YEAR
EARLY GARDENS NIPPED.

North Dakota was visited by cold
wave Monday night, the government
thermometer, according to w. I. Fer
ris, weatherman, registering 20 de-
grees early Tuesday morning, or about
ten degrees below the freezing point.
Some of the early gardens were nip
ped and will have to be replanted.
While North Dakota does not claim to
be much of fruit growing state, yet
nearly every home has currant and
gooseberry bushes, and apple, plum
and cherry trees. These were we'll
loaded with blossoms. Most of the
fruit prospects for North Dakota this
year have been ruined. There will be
but few wild grapes and wild plums,
as the result Of the freeze, it is pre-
dicted. The weather has been unusu-
ally cool for this season Of the year.
No damage was done to the growing
crops, which were not far enough ad-
vanced. Conditions thruout the farm
ing district could not possibly be bet
ter.

NEARLY TWO INCHES
Of MOISTURE
FRIDAYS RAIN AMOUNTED TO
l.56 INCHES ACCORDING TO
GOVERNMENT REPORT - THE
GROUND is SOAKED CON-
PLETELY.

One of those gentle soaking rains,
lasting nearly thirty hours, fell Fri
day and Saturday, giving the North
west all the moisture that is needed
for the present. According to the re-
port of the government weatherman,
Mr.. w. Ferris of this city, just 1.56
inches of moisture was precipitated in
Minot. Added to the previous rains
this spring, this section of the state
has received just two inches of mois-
ture.
The moisture has gone down to the
clay subsoil, doing great good to the
growing crops and putting the soil in
first class condition for the planting Of
the later crops. The grass in the pas
lures is growing at the rate of an inch
a day. The rain extended from the
mountains in Montana east.

F. A. Bakers Success With Cows.

F. A. Bakers Success With Cows.
From the Stanfeld, Ore, Standard
we read an interesting account of the
success F.. A. Baker, formerly of this
city, is attaining with his dairy herd.
He has completed years test with
nine cows, wedding out the star board
ers, and finds that the average receipt
per COW amounted to 1872 for the year,
the net income being $57 per cow. The
best cow produced 8025 pounds of
milk, containing 419 pounds of butter
fat, worth $126. Her feed cost $50,
showing a net profit for the year of
$87. This COW produced butterfat at a
cost of 9.2 cents per pound. On the
other hand, the lowest producer had to
her credit at the end of the year 1850
pounds of milk, containing 206 pounds
of butterfat, worth $62. Her feed
cost was $31, leaving a net profit of
$31. She produced butterfat at cost
of 15.1 cents per pound. From these
figures we see that the best cow in the
herd produced more than twice the
amount of butterfat produced by the
lowest producer, and the net profit
from the first cow was nearly three
times that from the second.

CLAY COUNTY,
MIMI, Goes DRY
SALOONS A N d
BREWERIES MUST GO OUT OF
BUSINESS-"WETS" LOSE OUT
BY OVER 1000.

Clay county, Minn., has gone dry by
a majority of 1857 votes. The thirty
one Moorhead saloons must close June
30. Some of the best fixtures in the
state, representing three quarters Of
million dollars, will be for sale
cheap. ....
The liquor element has put up ter
rife fight and the "wets" carried
Moorhead by II votes, but the farmers
voted almost to man to abolish the
saloons. Moorhead will lose revenue
of 100000 annually from the licenses.
The "drys" celebrated the day by
marching thru the streets of Moor
head singing, "1t's long way to Min
neapolis when Moorhead goes dry"

CITY APPR0PR|ATES
$l,l00 FOR Band
MINOT WILL HAVE Is PIECE
MUSICAL ORGANIZATION THAT
WILL GIVE TWO CONCERTS A
WEEK IN RIVERSIDE PARK.

The city commission Monday night
appropriated $1,100 for Minot's band
that is now being organized by Blaine
Allen, leader of the Minot Symphony
orchestra. The band will soon be
ready to give a series Of "a concerts
in Riverside park, giving one concert
during the week and a sacred con-
cert each Sunday evening. Mr.. Allen
is now in Minneapolis where he will
secure three "pivot" players and the
remainder of the musicians will all be
local men. Minot needs a band and
the commission considers that it is
only right that the general public
should pay the necessary expenses Of
the band. In this, they are backed up
by large number of Minot's promi-
nent citizens.
The band will play from the top Of
the new shelter house that will be con-
structed in the park at once.

Washington, May 1.-THE German
press of the United States will be in

United States during the recent crisis

dicial to the best interests of the faith.

England is on the eve OF conscrip-
ton. As was the experience of the
United States in the Civil War, it is
now likely to be a popular measure.
Even less so to England than it was
TO America. So long as England's
seas, England need not fear no invas-
ion. Her existance as a nation Will
not be threatened. MostAmericans are
prone to overlook this fact when CON
sidering the aftermath of the war.
But the average Englishmah doesn't
overlook it, No one has a better per-
ception of the value of naval power.
and the enormous advantages It brings
such as immunity from invasion, and
an ability to obtain military supplies
from any quarter of the globe This
sense OF security this knowledge that
no matter what he outcome on land,
England will still be safe, will still
control the seas, will still retain her
most important dominions-Canada
Australia, New Zealand. South Africa,
and her chain of trading posts encir-
cling the world-makes the compla-
cent Britisher comparatively indiffer-
ent to the trend of land battles.
