home Immediately after the speaking.
However, the heavy rain passed to the
south and those who remained for the
entire afternoon had a pleasant time
about the grounds and viewing the
handsome plots of grain.
A picnic dinner was arranged for
the Dickinson Summer School teach
ers, including the seven instructors.
Supt. C. E. Ward and citizens had a
long string of automobiles in waiting
at the high school building and as the
teachers came out from their work at
noon they were speeded away to the
government farm mile west of the
city, where they found luncheon
spread in the shade Of the station
grove.
The speakers of the afternoon in
cluded Prof. J. H. Shepard Of the
Agricultural College at Fargo, J. A.
Kitchen of Sentinel Butte, formerly
superintendent of schools in Billings
and late in Golden Valley counties,
and Louis F. Crawford of Sentinel
Butte, president Of the state board Of
regents. Supt. L. r. Waldron made
some Introductory remarks and in
troduced Prof. Shepard, who gave an
interesting talk: on corn, alfalfa and
live stock. J. A. Kitchen, one Of the
most successful agriculturists in
Golden Valley county, gave an in
structive talk, dwelling particularly
on the Importance of alfalfa growing.
Cashier L. F. Crawford of the Inter-
state Bank of Sentinel Butte, con-
fined his remarks largely to live
stock and diversified farming.
J. Allen Clark of Washington, D.
c., who was spending 10 days at the
station in connection with his regular
government Investigations, and John
C. Thysell and r. w. Smith, who are
jointly with government and state at
the Dickinson station, took great in
terest in explaining the work carried
on at the local station.
One of the pleasing sights at the
station is the large grove of trees,
which includes black walnut and
honey locust, various fruit trees and
several plots of very thrifty ever
green trees.
AS has already been stated in these
columns, the government is testing
out different varieties of wheat from
all parts of the country with a view
to classifying. This station has 787
varieties. St. Paul and Montana come
next in this great work which is be-
ing carried on in seven different
states.
One of the important experiments
at the Dickinson station is the crop
rotation work, showing exactly what
correct rotation will do for farmers.
Among those who drove in from
their farms last Friday for the picnic
were noted the following: J. P. Per-
DEANS, South Heart; Mr.. and Mrs. L..
A. Thorson, Gorham; John Little and
Gilbert Gilbertson, Gladstone; Mr..
Bolton, Dunn Center; P. F. Stults, Ed.
Culver and Rasmus Jensen.

HUGHES LEASE GRILL

A deal was consummated this week
by which Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A..
Hughes become proprietors of the
Grill cafe, located in the Berry block,
operated the past year or so by Mr..
and Mrs. w. A. DeShon.
The stock was being invoiced
Thursday and the cafe will be closed
for a few days while Mrs. Theckla
Berry of Glendive, owner of the
Berry block, superintends the thor
ough renovation and re-decoration of
this popular lunch room.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes took the Elk
lunch room when it was opened and
ran it most acceptably and are sure
to succeed in their new place. The
Grill is very advantageously located
in the down town district, opposite
the depot and always enjoys good
patronage which the Hughes reputa-
tion as fine caterers will doubtless
greatly increase.
Mr.. DeShon has not decided upon
his future plans. He still runs the
Elgin restaurant on Sims Street.

burn this wood in a laboratory furn-
ace such that you can be able to COL
lect the carbon dioxide and other
gases that escape during the burn
ing. Weigh those gases, ashes and
residue and they will weigh the same
as the original stick of wood to a mil
ligram. Matter is indestructible, it is
eternal, is an established fact in the
minds of men. Is it more wonderful
that the spirit of man is immortal
The spirit is the universally acknow-
lodged master over the body. Your
body is the servant Of your thoughts
and feelings of the spirit. Your
body crumbling to dust in the grave
yard may lose it's temporary iden-
tity as human being but it can
never be destroyed. Can it be pos
sible that the spirit which is the mas
ter over that body should end it's ex-
istence at the tomb? When God
created the world with the fishes in
the sea, the birds in the air and ami
mails in the forests he crowned this
majestic work of creation by creating
man, not as mere toy to serve a
temporary existence here and then
end him after he had immortalized
matter. He breathed into him his
own eternal spirit and decreed for
him to live forever. Had he not done
this then man would have been the
victim of the tragedy of creation. At
the same time that God immortalized
the grain of sand he breathed his own
everlasting life. Man has been very
slow to accord the Creator proper
credit for a harmonious creation, so
much so that seers and prophets have
been sent to US to lead US toward the
heavenly goal and finally the son of
God himself was sent to set us right
and yet we are holding back in our
march toward the evangelization of
the world and the harmonizing Of
God and man.
Death is merely one of the turn
ing points in a life, a metamorphic
change from one state to another
higher state. Death is not the end
and the grave is not the goal.
Did you ever observe the ugly
worm or sort Of a beetle that usu-
ally lives in stagnant pools of water?
The plier like mouth in a homely
head and ungainly feet make it one
of the most unattractive creatures
that God ever put life into. Some
fine sunny day it crawls up a bull
rush and nestles in the scorching sun.
Pretty soon it's shell breaks open
along the back, rolls to both sides and
out of it comes larvae that spins a
cocoon around itself and goes to
sleep. After a while you observe
something on the inside gnawing to
get out and soon out comes a beauti-
full butterfly. The metamorphosis of
insects is one of the established facts
