CATTLE RECOVER FROM
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE

Down in Illinois and other states
where thousands of cattle were killed
because of the foot and mouth disease,
farmers are organizing to fight the
courts, and keep their cattle from be-
ing slaughtered in the future. It has
been shown that but three per cent of
the cases prove fatal and the cattle
that recover are as good as ever. .
The 800 head of registered cattle
that were quarantined at the Chicago
stock yards have recovered. They are

Coal Dealers on the War Path

Ignite coal has been selling at a
mighty low price in Minot this week,
owing to a merry war among dealers.
Monday the price had been reduced
from $3.50 per ton delivered to $3.50,
but today we are informed that the
price has been raised to $500 and
within short time, it is likely to 60
back to $3.50. In the meantime, many
are taking advantage of the reduction
and are having their bins filled to the
guards.

More than one hundred editors,
many accompanied by their wives, at
tended the annual winter meeting Of
the North Dakota Press Association at
Fargo Friday: and Saturday. The
meeting was the largest winter gath
ering in the history of the association.
Friday forenoon's session was held
at Fargo's new 100000 Auditorium
but for convenience, the other sessions
were held in the Commercial club
room.
The address of welcome was given
by Mayor Emery, who displayed un-
usual eloquence. The response was
given by Edgar L. Richter, of Lari-
more. The meeting was opened with a
prayer. Norman B. Black, of Grand
Forks, sang one of his enjoyable bari
tone solos, and was compelled to re-
spond to an encore. The president, G.
D. Colcord, of Minot, delivered the
annual address. Secretary W. H.
Francis, of Velva, and Treasurer Har-
ry M. Case of Neville, read their an
nual reports, the financial condition of
the association being good. It was
learned that while there are $50 news
papers in the state, the association has
$50 members and is still growing.
At noon, the members met in front
of the Y. M. c. A., where a picture
was taken.
At noon a delightful luncheon was
given for the ladies at the Hotel Card
ner.
During the afternoon the subject Of
transient advertising was discussed by
DR.. L. T. Guild of Fargo and E. D.
Lum of Valley City. A paper written
by w. A. Shaw Of Sheldon was read
by Grant S. Hager of Grafton, Mr..
Shaw being unable to attend.
Editor Olson of New Rockford read
an unusually we'll written paper
while the address given by w. c. Nc
Fadden Of Fargo, a member of the
association, and secretary of the state
bankers association, was Of high
order. "Don't try to deceive your
banker" was the trend of thot in Mr..
McFadden's address. The discussion
of all of the papers was most lively,
showing that the members are taking
deep interest in their work.
The president named the following
committees: .9 j...~ 81.

Convention Notes.
The ladies were we'll entertained
with two luncheons at the Gardner
and several theatre parties. A num-
ber were also entertained Saturday at
the home of Mrs. J. P. Dotson, wife
of the publisher of the Forum.
Harry Case, of Neville, declined re-
election as treasurer. He said he had
already worn out one hand bag and
did not care to wear out the one that
the boys gave him at Bismarck last
winter, as token of their apprecia-
tion for his faithful work in the asso-
iation. 1t is understood that Mr..
Case has accepted position as assis-
tant secretary to Governor Hanna,
and while he holds this position he
could not we'll represent the associa-
tion.
Fred Bartholomew, proprietor of
the Hotel Frederick at Grand Forks,
extended an invitation to any of the
members of the association to stop at
his hotel any time during the year
1915 without charge. Fred sets a
good table and we are inclined to think
that his place will be favorite rem
devious of the North Dakota publish
ers.
Will E. Holbein and his charming
wife came up from Bismarck and
spent Saturday with the association
members. Governor Hanna allowed
them to delay their journey to Cali
fornia "a hours in order to accomplish
this. Mr.. Holbein is secretary of the
North Dakota exhibit at the exposi-
tion. He has requested the newspaper
men to send two copies of their papers

The price Of wheat reached the high

By Monday morning it had dropped

another fall of four cents. Just what
it will do is problem. It will prob
ably go higher, but as we pointed out
last week, the price is certain to fiuc-
tuate considerably.
