NORTH DAKOTA 10Y conn
GROWERS Are m the LEAD

St .Paul-North Dakota boy
corn growers appear to have the
start of youthful conr growers Of
the other northwestern states ac-
cording to unofficial expert opin-
ion expressed by a great many of
the visitors at the first national
corn show who have given close
attention to the fifteen hundred
ten ear exhibits that are shown in
the new mammoth Hill railway
building i'm this city. The show
displays exhibits from corn grow
ers of Washington, Oregon, Idaho
the Dakotas and Minnesota. Ex-
hibits of corn raised by some of
the best matured farmers of those
states also are entered. Five
thousand dollars worth of trophy
cups are to be awarded. From
opinions already passed by corn
experts who have viewed the show
the boys of North Dakota are GER
tain to give a good account of
themselves Monday. Dec. Goth
when Prof. Moore of the Wiscon-
sin Agriculture School will make
The awards.
The boys of North Dakota who
have already won prizes in their
own states for the highest yields
have entered in this show in COM
petition with boys from other
states named.
R. L. Flint, Commissioner of
Agriculture and Labor of North
Dakota was a visitor at the show
today and he expressed high hopes
for the boy corn growers of his
state i'm the awards to be made
Monday. Mr.. Flint was particu-
larly impressed with the number
of exhibits from the Northfrn
tier of counties. "The corn on
exhibition from these counties,
much of it raised right along the
Canadian border is exceptionally
fine" He declared. Commissioner
Flint congratulated James J. Hill
for putting into motion such a
practical method of stimulationg
the Northwest to better corn grow
ing. This exposition of north
ernwestern raised corn is bound
to have a decided affect on corn
raising in all states from Min
nesota to the coast" he said.
The Grantland boys, Arthur,
Henry 0nd Walter of LaMoure
have exhibits in the show that
look like prize winners. Then
there is an exhibit by Henry j.
Langstratt, formerly of Iowa but
now of Gilby, who is expected TO
demonstrate that boy who has
raised corn successfully in North
Dakota. In fact. it is believed
that he has raised better corn in
North Dakota than he raised in
Iowa where he was trophy Will
ner.
Last year 100000 acres were
planted To corn i'm North Dakota
which was 100000 more acres
than previous years. Commits
sioner Flint ventures the predic-
ton that next year there will be
close to IA million acres planted
To corn i'm North Dakota.

ENGLISH POUND AT
LOW POINT IN N. Y.

NEW. YORK, Aug. 26.-The Eng
lish pound sterling was worth less in
American money today than at any
other time since the British mint be-
gan to- coin it i'm 1871, when George
" was prince regent of England.
In q thoroughly demoralized for
eign exchange market its value
dropped to $468%, nearly five per
cent or 23A4 cents below normal.
German money alone stemmed the
torrent of downward rates and regis
tered an Increased value, reichsmarks
going to 81 q, the highest point
TOUCHED since exchange values started
down more than two weeks ago. The
francs of France and the lires Of italy
followed the course blazed by sterling
The decline was said to be due to
increased pressure of bills against for
eign buyers Of American goods pre-
sented for payment here. Almost
without exception these bills were for
war supplies
Although the situation was re-
garded as acute at the days close,
New York bankers were not fearful Of
the future.
The strength of German money was
attributed largely to the easing of ten
sion in diplomatic relations between
that country and the United States. 1t
was even reported that Germany
might seek to borrow money in this
market later on.

that he was entirely responsible for
his own remarks at Plattsburg He
also said he considered the secretary
had no right TO criuclse General
Wood
Colonel Rooseyclts remarks were
contained in statement II read
az follows:
"Ncarly three weeks ago II was an
uOuuced in the public press the
statement being carried prominently
in every big newspaper, that In ad-
ditiOn 10 President Wilson and Sec
retary Garrison some scores Of pri-
vate citizens had, Seen asked 10 go
TO the Plattsburg camp where il
was expected they would speak TO
the men. Among the names mem
toned i'm addition to my own We're
those OF former President Taft. Sam

Mr., Avery also devoted some Of his
speech to the proper making Of roads.
lie thought marking is very neces-
Sary, and when Improvements are
made the roads should be marked.
Marked roads eliminate all difficulty
Tor the travellers, SO far as finding
their way is concerned
The other Speakers.
Among the other speakers were II,
II. Helen, county engineer Of Wag-
oner county, Paul Galloway, chair
man OF the entertainment committee
ot the Chamber of Commerce. and NJ.
c, Jones, member of the Washington
county board of commissioners.
Mr.. Jones, who is we'll past the
prime of life, related how he had oc-
casion to pass through Tulsa while en-
route to Texas I'm 1882. He expressed
the belief that il roads I'm this vicinity
improve as much in the next two
years as they have since those memoir
able days, then they will be the best
roads in the United States.
Before adjournment Mr. Osbmne
made the visiting commissioners
promise him that they would send
marked road maps OF their respec-
tive counties. He explained they were
necessary in the Chamber Of Com
merce, as daily there are inquiries Of
persons who contemplated touring
this section Of the country asking
what roads TO take to this or that
place. This Information Mr.. Osourne
has been unable to give, owing to the
fact that he is a comparative stranger
here and particularly in the rural dis
trcts
The commissioners unhesitatingly
promised to forward the maps at their
earliest possible convenience, and In
the no distant future they will be
spread on the walls Of the chamber
whore they undoubtedly will be OF
much value.

A FIGHT OF AlRMEn


Paris. Feb. 2O.-Severe fighting
continues I'M the vtcinitx Of Armen-
there's and between Ypres and the sea
where the Germans are continuing
their efforts to cut the allied lines Of
communication. The fact that the
British have established several new
bases In the north has apparently
been reported to the Germans by air
men as in nearly every instance the
new attacks have been delivered on
a line leading directly to them.
The airmen of both parties are now
very active and not a day goes by that
the forces in the trenches are not re-
called with the sight OF hostile observ-
ers flying above their heads.
From Armentieres to the Ypres
canal; at La Bassee and near the Ar
ras-Lens road. night attacks have been
delivered by the Germans without sue
cess and the allies deny the Berlin
claims of gains OF trenches in the
north.
From the Aisne to the heights Of
the Mouse heavy artillery exchanges
continue with occasional infantry con-
flicts at certain points in the Cham
payne and Argonne regions.
The French are gradually assuming
the offensive along the Mouse and
have possession Of number of bridge
heads, which will be utilized when the
time comes to throw a force across
the river.

LUSITANIA ARRIVES.
She Made the Trip Across Without
Hosting the U. S. Flag. a.

New York, Feb 20.-The British
liner Lusitania reached New York to-
day from Liverpool, having made the
trip. her officer said. without finding
It necessary to hoist the United States
flag. On the outward voyage, the
liner sailed under the stars and stripes
while in the Irish sea.
Fear of the German submarines
kept the big vessel at anchor in the
Mersey for nearly five hours after she
left her dock. until an hour or more
after nightfall. According to pas
sengers on the ship. officers said they
were waiting for favorable tide. The
wait lasted from 1883 o'clock in the
afternoon till TAT o'clock in the even
ing. Then the Lusitania proceeded at
full speed down the channel in the
darkness.
=, Rough weather prevailed during the
entire voyage across the Atlantic and
the vessel averaged only little over
twenty knots.
