HIGH SCHOOL CONSTRUCTS
GREAT WIRELESS OUTFIT

stations of the state do all their COM
munication at o'clock in the after
noon. sayville, New York, generally
| is sending at about 10 o'clock at night
The San Francisco station sends al
most continuously throughout the eve
ming. Tuckerton, New Jersey, and
another New York stations that is Oft
en- heard, have no regular hours for
sending. 49,. g.. ..... ..
All of these stations have been heard
on our local wireless. One message
was heard which was sent out from Co.
Ion, Panama, but that station has not
been heard from since. Prof, Fitz-
gerald believes that he heard Honolulu
recently. The ticks came into the in
strument so family, however, that the
message could not be read. Every
wireless station has a call name, by
which it is known by other operators.
For instance, some eastern wireless
might be SIZE.
Wireless stations generally work in
pairs if they do any regular business.
The big station at Tuckerton, New Jer-
sey. works with the German station at
Hamburg. The wireless at Sayville
New York, situated on Manhattan
Island, co-operates with the German
station at Berlin. Mr. Fitzgerald states
that he has picked up messages sent
out from these two big stations on our
eastern coast Most of them are of a
commercial nature but one was receiv-
ed recalling certain government off,
cials in Berlin. Some messages have
been taken down which were in Ger
man, and afterward translated. The
results are often very interesting. The
wireless now constitutes the only
means of communication between the
United States and Germany, since the
cables are cut. The wireless is coming
to be used very generally for oversee
messages, as for instance, from San
Francisco to Honolulu, since it only
costs one-third as much as a cable
gram. ~.~-.
This wireless is a wonderful thing;
one can sit here in Valley City and
listen to any powerful wireless station
in the United States. 1t is also very
pleasing to know that our High school
physics department can SO successfully
construct such a complex machine.

Statistics Prove That Barnes
Is Near Top in Acres Of
Crops, But Leads State
In Only One.

When looking over the production
record of Barnes county in comparison
with that of the other counties Of our
state, we are impressed with the fact
that our production maintains uni
form height in every line. There are
few fields in which our county leads
and there are But few where she is far
from the top. The sole instance in
which we could claim to lead the state
is in the amount of millet hay produc-
ed We hold comfortable lead here
and rank second in the production of
bronze grass hay. In other words,
Barnes county seems to be particular
ly strong on raising hay.
There are but three counties that
lead us in the matter of number Of
acres under cultivation, namely, Bot
tineau Cass and Grand Forks counties.
All three counties have an advantage
in priority of settlement, especially
Cass, which is just across the line from
Minnesota and lies in the fertile bed
of old Lake Agassiz. Barnes county
makes sad showing in the production
of winter wheat but ranks not far
from the top in durum wheat. Scarcely
any winter wheat is raised here and
only fair yield in oats is made. Ten
counties surpass us in the raising Of
barley and six counties lead us in
flax production. Spring rye and win
ter rye are seldom planted in this
county and our production of speltz is
considerably below the average. The
records show a medium yield of pota-
| toes and a fair amount of corn. To
sum up, figures would seem to show
that the farmers of Barnes county are
not diversifying as much as they
ought. A heavy grain production is
limited to one thing and that one thing
is durum wheat. The agriculture men
have been telling our farmers right
along that wheat is not the only crop
for North Dakota. The figures show
that some of this talk has been taking
effect in other counties and it is time
that our farmers were realizing the
fact that rotation of crops is a neces-
sity. )
Barnes county shows up very favor
ably in a comparison with the other
counties of hay yields. What the
farmers do with all of it is a mystery,
for the amount of livestock owned will
not compare with that Of other coun-
tries. For instance, there are half
dozen counties having more horses
than our own The farmers of Barnes
| county are making a serious mistake
! when they do not raise more cattle,
especially of the dairy type. The num-
erous farms in the county devoted
solely to the raising of fancy cattle

The good people Of Valley City have
not awakened to the fact that Valley
City High school possesses one of the
most remarkable wireless plants in the
northwest, both in respect to sending
and receiving powers. The value of
the outfit is something like 5000 but
the real cost amounts to only small
part of that sum. Certain parts had
to be purchased but many things were
made by Prof. Fitzgerald and Paul
Baarstad at cost aproximating one.
tenth of the listing price. ut.
The former aerial was stretched last
year from the Richie to the High
school building, but new one has
been put across from the Richie
school to the court house tower. This
easily enables the operator to pick
up messages from all over the coun.
try. A powerful little dynamo has
been set up to furnish the spark gap
for sending purposes. A condenser
was made and fitted up in the labora-
tory at small cost. Several other use
full things make up the set, including
an audion, an inerrupter, and several
instruments for tuning up the waves.
The apparatus is capable of sending
out waves at the rate of 800 or $50 a
second.
The high schools of this state send
their messages at about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon. Usually they wait until
Prof. Taylor up at the University has
sent out his weather report. Upon the
conclusion OF this message, the vari-
GUS stations commence to talk among
themselves. There are wireless sta
tons at ,Farko high school, the Univer-
sity of North Dakota, Pembina high
school, and Devils Lake. There is also
a station at the Agricultural college in
Fargo. One may judge the strength
of our sending apparatus by the fact
that Prof. Taylor, at the University,
says that our note comes in much
stronger than that of the A. C. station
at Fargo, although the distance is
much greater. In letter to the Uni
versity, the wireless station at Ham.
line University, in Minnesota, stated
that they had picked up and read the
Valley City messages at times.
There are many smaller apparatuses
for wireless work, mostly owned by
the small boys of the town. After
sending out a message, Prof. Fitzger'
aid often has great difficulty in re-
straining this local school of operators
from all trying to speak to him at
once, when listening to some out-of-
town station Through constant prac
tice in. sending and receiving, Prof
Fitzgerald has become an adept in
communicating at any speed. n..

LISBON MAN IN
MURDER CASE

Aberdeen, S. D., April 7.-B. Condor,
one of a number of men arrested yes
terday afternoon in connection with
the murder of Edward D. A. Parker on
Monday night, late yesterday stated
that Parker was a newsboy of Mime
apolis, and that Condor and two other
men had been with Parker on Monday
evening, and the last he had seen OF
Parker was in straw stack west OF
the city.
B. Condor of Chinook, Mont, Ed
ward Ferguson of Lisbon, N. D., John
Nezzi of Minneapolis, Bob Simpson OF
Oklahoma, M. D. Stoddard of Superior
Wis, and E. Dooley of Chicago were
all picked up by the police yesterday
afternoon on suspicion of knowing
something about the murder of Parker
who was found Tuesday morning ly'
ing beside the Milwaukee railroad
tracks, four miles from Aberdeen, muir
dered.
Clyde Hurst, son of George w.
Hurst, superintendent of police, walk
ed for seven blocks on Monday after
noon behind four men who are believ.
ed to have been last seen with Parker.
The Hurst boy was returning home
from school, and he says one of the
three men in the rear carried a stick
about the size of broom handle and
about four feet long, and the others,
after holding it in their hands, said
lit is heavy enough Parker, he
said, was walking slightly ahead Of
the other three. The lad identified
the dead man as the one who was
walking ahead, and identified Condor
as one of the men in the rear who tes-
ted the stick.
The body of young man, lying be-
side the railroad track about four
miles west of Aberdeen, was discover.
ed by passengers on a west bound Mil
waukee train: They notified the con-
ductor, who wired the train dispatch
er's office here, and the coroner and
sheriff hurried to the scene, where
they found a young man, apparently
Is years of age, lying dead beside the
track. One arm had been struck by
some blunt instrument Tracks and
disturbance on the ground indicated
he had been attacked on the other
side of the track from which his body
was lying, and then dragged on the
track A train had evidently thrown
the body off the rails, with the excep-
ton of the crushed arm. Z, =
Letters found on the body indicated
the dead mans name was Edward D.
A. Parker, and that his home was in
New York, though the last letter writ
ten to him was addressed at Mime
apolis. Parker was fairly we'll dress
ed, smooth shaver and clean. He
was slender and rather tall, with
black hair which had recently been
trimmed. His hands indicated he had
been working at manual labor of some
sort. Besides the letters, the only
thing left in his clothes was prayer
book, his pockets evidently having
been searched for any money or valu-
ables he may have carried. @

TWO VALLEY CITY
MEN GET CREDIT

Fargo, April 8.-Prof. A. P. Hollis,
college extension lecturer for the A.
c., recently gave an illustrated lee
ture in a pool room at Millarton. The
pool room was the only place big
enough in the town. There was Meth.
er a school house nor a church in the
town and the pool room acted as both
town hall and church.
It was a nice clean pool room, well
conducted and the proprietor was
public spirited citizen. He gave up an
evenings business to help in the
movement for giving farm boys and
girls a better deal in education. The
lecturer tackled his screen up on the
walls of the pool room and showed the
pictures with the aid of a presto-lite
tank.
These picture-lectures are taking
agricultural education to the rural dis
tricts as nothing else can. It is car
rying the new agriculture to the homes
of the people and the results are justi-
flying the new method in a remark
able way. Rural school education is
undergoing revolution. "The North
Dakota farmer is the most progressive
farmer on EARTH" says Mr.. Hollis,
latter he has been shown" But he is
from Missouri. He wants to be shown.
And these pictures are taken right
from the field here in North Dakota,
many Of them by the lecturer himself,
and when the farmer sees what his
own neighbors are doing to improve
agricultural education, he knows he
can do it to. It is more convincing
than presenting statistics from Ohio
and Indiana.
Professor Hollis advocates in the
main three methods of improving ru-
raj education. One is the agricul-
tural contests. These were started by
Prof. G.. w. Randlett of the agricul-
tural. college five years ago and they
have brought scientific agriculture in
a concrete way to approximately So.
900 North Dakota young people since
they were started. These have been
supplemented lately by the better
farming contests and they are raising
up a generation of new farmers and
farmers wives, because there are con-
tests for the girls in home economics
as well as for the boys in field work.
Another method is the consolidated
school. Only in the consolidated
school can an expert be hired to teach
agriculture in rural districts. Hon. N.
C. Macdonald, state inspector, is the
man chiefly responsible for the re-
markable growth Of these schools dur
ing the last four years. There is a
greater demand for the lecture on
consolidated schools than any other.
A third method is helping the teach
er of the one room school to enlarge
her knowledge of agriculture. The
normal schools now give a year o.
agriculture to such teachers and the
agricultural college is seeking to in
form these teachers by it's bulletins
and agricultural collections, of the lat
est helps for the purpose.
