Henrietta Farday came in answer.
"This Is Zeb Borland," began Uncle
Zeb, doubtfully.
"Humph! Bullying Borland!" COM
mented Aunt Henrietta In her most
forbidding accents.
"You never gave me an opportunity
to disprove that title, Henrietta" pro-
tested the old man.

an oddly gentle tone. you want

A hush then:
"You better keep the one you got -

whispered Uncle Zeb. 1--WE kept 1t In

The Northwest is going to have
one of the largest crops in its history
this year and the quality Of the crop
in all lines appears to be first class.
1t is therefore an exceptionally
good time in which to make known to
the country, and to the world, what
spleudid crops we can raise in this
corner of God's footstool, both as to
quality and quantity.
The Northern Pacific Railway is in
constant need Of samples Of grains,
vegetables, fruits, grasses, etc, for
exhibition purposes, to illustrate to
others the crop sup ,rior]ty or the
various sections along its line. The
Northern Pacific Railway shows ma
terial of all kinds i'm thirty or more
permanent exhibits in the east. mid.
die west and southwest. besides at
land shows, fairs and eXpOsitlons OF
various sorts in many parts OF the
country. We need the help of all pub
lie. spirited citizens, commercial clubs.
fair associations, land companies. etc.
in securing high class material in or
der that each section may be proper
ly represented.
During the harvest of 1915 the Nor
thern Pacific desires the farmers
along it's line to make un good sized.

grains and grasses, also samples OF
seeds, vegetables, fruits and any 9th
er products which can conveniently

such as yield per acre, ETC., as in all
of our exhibits We want to give FULL

GERMANS IN AIR
RAID ON ENGLAND
Ten are Killed and Thirty
Injured on East
Coast.

London, Aug. 1S.--The Germans
last night carried out their seven.
teenth air raid on England, visiting
eastern counties, where they dropped
bombs, which, according to the off
cial communication, killed ten and
injured 36 civilians. |..
AS in the last raid, the admiralty
reports that it belle 1es one OF the
Zeppelins, of which there are suppos
ed to have been four, was damaged
A dispatch from Holland today re
ported that another quartet of dirlsi
bles was en- the way over to England
but nothing further has been heard
of them. Tonight is clear and 1t is
probable that the airship commander
believing it likely that their craft
would be discovered by the Eritist
air patrol, have turned back.
The Handelsblad Of Amsterdam
says that Dute;l troops opened flre
today upon a German Zeppelin which
sailed over Dutch territory.
The German submarines also have
been busy and during the day the
sinking of three, British and three
neutral steamers and trawler have
been reported. %
An Austrian fleet of 81 guns, aided
by an aeroplane, has bombarded the
Italian island Of Pelagosa, in the
Adriatic, midway between the prom
ontory of Gardano and Dalmatia, and
retired after killing an Italian officer
and three men and wounding three
others, it was officially announced to
day. The statement says the "garrl
son endured violent bombardmen1
bravely, and the enemies retired with
out trying to disembark. We do not
know the enemy's losses"
