{. C. CHAFFEE BACK
FROM BUYING TRIP

c. c. Chaffee returned Saturday
evening from an eastern trip of some
three weeks. Mr.. Chaffee made a
short visit to the old home in Troy, w.t.,
where his father and brother are still
living, and stopped for day in Chi
cago, but most of his time was put in
in New York, where he inspected the
best lines of ladies' furnishings that
are made in this country.
Mr.. Chaffee tells the Times-Record
that he did his buying this year on a
different scheme than ever before.
He took plenty of time in his selec-
lions and looked more to quality than
he has in the past. He says he will
have greater variety than ever be-
fore, that he will have suits and coats
up to as high as SIS, where heretofore
his limit has been about half that.
Mr.. Chaffee evidently intends to be in
shape to take advantage Of the best
year North Dakota has ever seen.
The goods are now beginning to

Given Chance to Explain

Washington, Aug. Unreasonable
doubt as to the conditions surround
ing the sinking of the White Star lin
er, Arabic, has determined the gov
eminent at Washington to proceed
with deliDeration in it's purpose to fix
the responsibility for the loss of at
least two American lives and jeopardiz-
ing a score of others. Therefore, Ger
many will be given an opportunity to
explain this latest sea tragedy and if
possible to show weather the condi-
lions justified the German submarine
commander in sinking the liner in ap-
parent disregard of the solemn protest
of the United States government
against the destruction of merchant
vessels bearing American passengers
without proper warning and opportun-
ity for succor.
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Lansing conferred today on the
Arabic situation with the text of two
messages from Ambassador Page be-
fore them, giving details Of the ira
gedy as gathered from American sur
vivors.

Marquis di Garroni, Italian ambas-
sador to Turkey, today handed to the
Porte a note, declaring Italy consid-
cred herself in state of war with Tur-
key and demanded his passport, &C
cording to an official telegram from
Constantinople received at Amster-
dam and transmitted to the Central
News agency.
The reason given in the note for
Italy's declaration of war were the sup
port given by Turkey to the revolt in
Lydia and the prevention of the de-
.parture of Italian residents from Syria.
Although Italy declared war on Aus
tria on May "a and hostilities between
the powers began Immediately, there
has never been any declaration of war
between Italy and Germany, the ally
of Austria. Until now, Italy and Tur-
key nominally have been at peace.
Friction between Turkey and Italy,
however, has been in evidence since
shortly after the latter's entry into
the war. Early in June there were re-
ports that Italian consuls were gradu-
ally leaving Turkey and that American
officials were taking over the task of
looking out for the Italian interests.
Later charges were made that the
Ottoman government was preventing
the consuls from leaving, that suuAar
coercion was being exerted over Italian
civilians who wished to leave Turkish
soil.
On Aug. 3 the Italian ambassador at
Constantinople made a second protest
to Turkey relative to the attitude of
the Ottoman authorities tsward Italian
subjects. 1t was stated that Italian
subjects were still being detained in
Turkey. At that time the tension be-
tween Italy and Turkey was becoming
more acute daily.
Aug. 5 it was announced Italy had
asked for explanations concerning
Turkeys alleged refusal to withdraw
her troops from the Cyrnaica district
in Tripoli and it was charged that Tur-
key was pursuing what was described
as a policy of procrastination.
1t was announced on Aug. 10 that q
strong squadron of fast Italian cruis-
ers was being held in readiness to sail
from Paranto, Italy, at moments
notice.

SPLENDID WHEAT SAMPLE
SHOWN BY JAMES ALGE0

The Times-Record has heard of and
seen some fine wheat this year, but on
Saturday morning Fred Jensen, buyer
for the Russell-Miller Milling Co.,
brought in sample of marquis wheat
that outclassed everything so far. .
1t was raised by Jim Algeo on his
farm five miles southwest of Valley
City, where he has about 400 acres in
shock. While threshing barley Friday
Mr.. Algeo ran through two loads of his
wheat and the sample we saw was
from this. It is plump, amber-color-
ed berry, very uniform in size, and
weighs 81 pounds to the bushel. From
the two loads threshed Friday Mr..
Algeo estimetes the yield at close to
so bushels per acre. This is almost
unbelievable, but the Times-Record
hopes he is right. 1t will be marketed
within few weeks now and we hope
to ascertain the exact yield.
Mr.. Algeo also scored heavily with
his barley, which John Laird says is
the best he has seen for years. It
weighs 40 pounds to the bushel and
there is good yield.

TREASURER WANTS RAISE
IN RAILROAD ASSESSMENT

Bismarck, Aug. 21.-There is con-
siderable speculation in the capital
city at this time, as to what action
the state board of equalization will
take this year regarding the assess
ments of railroads in the state.
It is contended that the assessed
valuation of all property must be
raised about $3O,OO0,OOO this year in
order that the required amount of
revenue can be obtained and what
property will be raised by the board
is not known at this time.
State Treasurer John Steen, yho is
a member of the state board Of
equalization advocates to raise the
railroads from an assessment basis of
10 per cent to an assessment of rs
per cent, bringing them up to the
same rate as other property is now
being assessed at and to lower the
assessments of lands in the western
part of the state which are assessed
at about 80 per cent.
The railroads representatives are in
the city and will appear before the
board today and argue their side of
the case.

TELL OF GREAT
GRAIN THEY'VE
seen UP NORTH

Mr.. and Mrs. T. Melvin Lee returned
Friday night from a grain inspection
trip of six days through Griggs, Mel
son, Burleigh, Benson, Eddy, Foster,
Wells and Stutsman counties. They
covered 700 miles and had splendid
trip
Mr.. Lee says that crop conditions in
those counties are what you can really
call wonderful without at all strain
ing the adjective. Especially in the
sandy portions of Nelson and Benson
counties have conditions been exactly
right this year and he believes tina.
80 to 40 bushels per acre will be a
not uncommon yield. The grain
stands in a uniform mass as tall as
the fence posts and is remarkable
sight, according to Mr.. Lee.
Reports from Col. Peake and A. F.
Pierce, who recently visited portions
of the same section, are practically
the same. Col. Peake thinks that the
crops are uniformly earlier up there
than here, while Mr.. Pierce tells of
field after field where the grain
reaches his chin.
