Everybody's singing the song.
The soldiers of Great Britain adopt
ed it as their battle song; the
French and Belgians picked it up and
are singing it in the trenches in the
war-ridden country; even the Germans
and Russians have adopted the air.
The whole world is wild about the
catchy tune and-a Morton county,
North Dakota, man wrote it.
Charles Harris, the we'll known
farmer near Stanton, vouches for the
veracity of the story. The composer
is his nephew, Harry Williams.
Mrs. Williams and son came to
North Dakota about ten or twelve
years ago from Owatonna, MINI. The
former took up a homestead in Mercer
county and the boy whose song has
grown famous, lived there for couple
of years. Then he came to Mandan
and worked for short time, going
from there to New Salem, where he
worked in a store for a number of
years.
He left for the east about five years
ago.
Friends who remember him say that
he always did have a habit of hum
ming something new, but no one sus-
pected that he would become famous
as the composer of the catchiest tune
the world has ever gone wild about.

No! NO! NO! MOST EMPHATICALLY No!
Said the Health Teacher, 1t Was No Miracle But COnSe
quence of Taking Quaker Herb Extract

The remarkable cure of Patrick Mac
Elroy, particulars concerning which
were fully reported in this paper. has
indeed created a big sensation. He had
suffered untold agonies for years from
various stomach complaints; he had
spent, according to his own statement,
nearly $500 for various treatments,
medicines, and appliances, in his fran
tie endcavor TO be cured, yet all were in
vain. His condition kept growing worse
instead of better; he became thoroughly
discouraged and his hopes for a cure
had completely faded. Yet this gentle
man today is entirely well and enjoying
perfect health. Has miracle been per-
formedy II really seems so, but the
Health Teacher say no, no, most en-
phatically no. Mr.. MacElroy's cure is
due entirely to the remarkable powers

Herb Extract The credit can be given
to nobody or to nothing else. To at
tribute it to a miracle is positively r.
diculous. The whole long and short of
the matter is that none of the many
remedies he had taken had reached the
cause of his complaint until he took
Quaker Herb Extract. This great REM
edy not only reached the cause, but re-
moved it, and as consequence Mr..
MacElroy is now a we'll man. So now
it can be seen that Quaker Herb Extract
alone must be given full credit for his
complete cure. Do you suffer from stom-

Those White Heads of Wheat! Did You Have Any?
Have You Loose Smut on Your Place?

This year there were white heads of grain in many
fields in this county. Frost" was the usual COM
ment, but it seems strange that frost would affect
only one head in a hundred or a thousand, leaving the
others untouched. The heads had every appearance
Of being frosted, being untitled. When H.. w. Hoch-
baum, state leader Of county agents was here in July
these heads attracted his attention. He examined
them closely but as it was too late to determine the
cause, he made no comment. He suspected loose smut
which is blown by the winds during the Towering
time, affecting the heads with which it comes in
contact. These heads do not show the effect, but at
next harvesting time there will be a great increase
in the number OF white empty heads and a conse-
quent reduction in yields. He does not say that we
have this form of smut but he suspects it; his obser-
vations were made after the wind had destroyed the
evidence, but next year he is going to know. He now
merely urges caution, and to be on guard. This smut
works in a different way from the ordinary black
smut. 1t does not infect the soil, but perpetuates it.
self from shattered grain that falls during harvest
and springs up the next year to scatter the white
plague. lnasmuch as the soil is not affected as with
black smut, thorough summer fallOw or crop rotation
will free fields from it. The treatment of seed is al
so different from treatment recommended for the
black kind. Instead of formalin, a water treatment
is given.
Soak the seed in cold water for ten minutes. Then
immense in hot water at a temperature of 132 de-
grees for five minutes. Dry and seed soon after
wards.
New seed, that is seed not grown on affected land,
is Loose smut is a plague. Those
not have this disease, but those white heads should
be watched. Loose smut was found in the Twin
Falls country this year, and this fact heightened the
suspicion of Mr.. Hochbaum that we might also have
it. 1t may be only frost but if so it was in a strange
mood when it touched a few heads indiscriminatelv
throughout a field, leaving them barren, while all
others were unframed. 1t may be a case of the early
worm when the late frost bird happened along at
Just the right time, and it may be something else.
Keep it in mind.

BORAH GROWING IN FAVOR.

United States Senator William E. Borah, who. since
his arrival from Washington, has been enjoying a we'll
earned rest in the states capital, his home, left last night
of the state. He has virtually closed his Boise office and
has forwarded to the nations capital his office effects.
Washington to prepare the senior senator's office there.
When Senator Borah arrived in Boise this summer
from the east it was announced he had come home a tired
statesman, anxious only to be given ~quietness and allowed
to rest. His wishes were respected. Close personal friends
met him on his arrival and escorted him to Boise from
Nampa. There was no demonstration. He had signified
he wanted none. The man whose name is on the lips of
many OF the most prominent men of his party as the
feasible candidate from among all Republicans for presi-
dent In 1916, has enjoyed the rest he sought. Yet the re-

ports constantly received by his friends here connecting
his name with the presidential nomination, were just as
active while he was enjoying his vacation as when he was
more conspicuous in congress. They have been flattering
in the extreme, a fact that has made Idahoans unusually
proud of the man who leaves to again take up his active
duties as their senior representative in the United States
senate. His departure last night was just as quiet as his
return-a few personal friends bidding him farewell. He
will remain in the southeast several days.
On the eve of Senator Borah's departure there was
received here a copy Of the Searchlight, a newspaper
published at Fargo, N. D. 1t, too, picks Senator Borah as
the Republican party's logical candidate for the presi-
dency, and says: North Dakota should lead off with a
Borah delegation and the selection of delegates of the
right sort so that in the event that Borah could not be
nominated they will only support some other well known
and triedout Progressive ."2Capital News.
1t is with sincere and almost unanimous regret that the
people view the removal of Rev. Floyd Hardin to Cali
|fornia. He has been here but a scant three months, but dur
ing that time has endeared himself to all who have been
associated with him. He has youth, energy, unusual abil-
ity, zeal and character, and is destined to reach a position
in the ministry that will bring great honor and respect.
His friends here will follow hi scareer with much interest.
