there and drunk.
Would like to hear from
you very soon.
AN ORPHAN BOY.
A.-Please do not gather from
what / am going to say that
am prejudiced against the army
and navy so far as il affects the
individual; it is the system, the
legal sanction of cold blOOded
murder that / abhor, and every
man or boy who processes his
willingness to fight encourages
war, and war is death i'm its most
horrible and appalling form, as
the present European struggle Is
proof of.
So far as you are individually
concerned, you must choose your
own calling, but it Is always well
to let honor be an important fac
tor in the weight of your decision.
Q.-1 am girl 20 years
of age and ever since a child
have wanted to become a de-
tective. l have gone through
grammar school and one
year of high school. Is any
more schooling necessary?
A GIRL.
A high school education
is absolutely essential, but IL
would be beneficial, and il pOssi-
bic for you to do so, l advise you
to finish school. An education is
something that will never go
amiss in any line of work you
wish to take up. BY that time,
perhaps, the detective work will
not appeal to you as much as
something else. IL 1t does, You can
get information concerning same
at any of the local detective
agencies.

o. am going to attend

people of this they asked me

that it is far better than the
one in Ellensburg.
Am | making a mistake in
going to Ellensburg, and can
you give some good points
about this? Sincerely,

A.-So far as 1 have been able
to learn, one normal is as good as
the other. Ii stands to reason
that they would be when they are
both state institutions. The only
difference is In regard to their
location; the Ellensburg normal
accommodates eastern Washing

the western portion of the state.

Thief River Falls, was destroyed by

some matches and had gone into a
closet to light stick of mosquito
punk, Unfortunately some clothing
hanging there caught fire, the flames
spreading rapidly The hired girl
caught the children and hurried
downstairs. Mrs. Melby reached in
to the closet to save some clothing
and had her hand burned. An alarm
of fire was Immediately turned in.
Nothing whatever was saved of the
contents of the second story. but the
most valuable house hold effects in
the first story were removed before
the building was Quilted with water.
Mrs. Melby telephoned her mother
here. Mrs. Grindeland, of their
plight, and Immediately the Misses
Grindeland hastened to Thief River
Falls, being brought there by DR.. F.:
c. Bake in his car, for the purpose
Of bringing the Melby children to
Warren until the home can de re-,
established.

In Midst Of Wheat Harvest
Weather Enables Farmers
To Rush the Work. Much Wheat
Already in Shock.

The favorable weather is con-
tinuing and farmers are losing no
time running their binders, cutting
wide swaths in the huge fields of
golden grain. It is estimated that
before the end of the week half of
the wheat in this county will be cut
and in the shock, and next week will
see the finish if the fine weather
holds out. Mr.. Vansickle, who is an
expert wheat grower, says it is a
mistake this year to cut wheat too
green, and his advice is worth heed
ing. Yet few farmers. perhaps, want
to take any chances on the weather
with such a bumper crop. There
seems to be plenty Of harvest hands,
and what is better, those who have
come to these parts this year are
neat and we'll dressed and have the
appearance Of being Of the. better
class Of farm laborers. More men
will be needed when threshing COM
mences than at present in the harvest
fields

Defeat Thief River Falls and Arpyle
Wednesday at the Pennington
County Fair

Warren took another double head
er last Wednesday,, by trimming the
Argyle and Thief River Falls collec-
ton of ball tossers on the Thief
River Falls grounds. Both games
were played for purse of $1OO each
and Warren, without any great diff
ticeulty carried home the bacon.
The first game between Warren
and Argyle was rather one sided,
Warren making seven runs, while
Argyle was unable to tally once.
"Chuck" Russell did the twirling for
Warren and had a snap in mystify-
ing the opposing batters. Hammer
gren threw for Argyle and was
touched for IL hits by the Warren
batters.
In the ninth Whiting made a
spectacular one hand catch nabbing
smoky ball hit by Vorachek, over
first. The game ended 7 to o in War
ren's favor.
In the second game Warren buck
led up against the stiffest base ball
team Thief River Falls has ever had
lined up. Chief Nevitt was in the
box for Thief River Falls and was
connected with the Warren hitters
for four safe bingles and as many
runs, in the first inning. Thief River
came back weakly and scored one.
Fait for Warren was hit at times
pretty heavily, but always managed
to tighten up, whenever :, critical
point of the game approached. In
this game another feature stop was
made by Brown on third in the sew
enth The game resulted in score
of Z to 5 with Warren in the lead.

"SWAT THE SOW THISTLE"

Farmers and land owners are
urged to keep on the watch. for the
Perennial Sow Thistle. This, weed
is now getting a foothold in the CEN
trail part Of the Red River Valley
and prompt eradication measures
must be employed if this weed: is to
be kept in check. The Sow Thistle
is the most noxious perennial weed
in the Valley in that it makes sod
more rapidly than Quack grass and
smothers crops more than either
Quack Grass or Canada Thistle.
The seeds of this weed are carried
long, distances by the wind, which
fact explains the sudden appearance
of this weed in cultivated, grain and
meadow land.
This weed is easily identified at
this season Of the year in that the
plant is in full bloom and the flower
generally stands we'll above the
grain crop. The flower is bright
yellow in color, about the size and
looking very much like the dandelion
flower.
The leaves Of this plant are blue
green to light green in color, much
longer than broad, with soft prickles
on the margin. The stem is also
prickly and when broken shows a
milky juice.
Like the Canada Thistle, the per-
ennial Sow Thistle has long, un-
derground, creeping stem, which
will produce new plant every few
inches. By spreading in this way it
is able to take complete possession
of the ground, crowding out young
grain plants before they get start.
All fields should be carefully
searched at once for this weed and
all plants in bloom should be pulled
and burned and, if possible the patch
should be dug up and destroyed.
If a field is badly infested the
thistles should be kept from seeding
and the land should be plowed just
as soon as the grain can be taken off.
Early fall plowed land should be
bare fallowed until all growth ceases
in the fall, and to clean up such
fields entirely, plant a cultivated
crop the following year.
Everyone should became acquaint-
ed with this weed and aid in it's ex-
termination. If the identity of this
weed is not made plain, send weed
specimens to the Northwest Ex-
pertinent Station, Crookston, care Of
I. NJ. Mccall, and they will be iden-
titled for you.
