Probably one of the largest initial
Grain Growers convention were pres
ent this morning in the new audi
torium when Pres. John III. Worst, OF
the association and head of the North
Dakota Agricultural college, opened
the Seventeenth annual convention at
10 o'clock this morning.
AS it takes an enormous crowd to
make a showing in the big auditorium,
which has a seating capacity of $500
people, at first glance 1T did not seem
that there were many people present,
but by 10:30 o'clock there were be-
tween 800 and 400 people in the big
structure. There have been a few
times in the history of the convention
when the old Fargo operahouse, which
was formerly the meeting place of the
association conventions and which is
now burned, was filled at the first ses-
sion. This did not happen often and
this morning President Worst stated
that il there were 100 people present
when the meeting was opened he
would know that the attendance at the
convention was going to be large. If
the attendance this morning is to be
taken as a forecast Of the remaining

Promptly at 1890 o'clock President

eight years the meeting has been call
ed to order on time.

FARMER OFFERS
RESISTANCE

Chicago, Jan. 1s.-Oficials of the
bureau of animal industry have met
with armed resistance from the farm
ers in Kane. McHenry and Whiteside
counties in their attempt to quaran-
tine cattle affected with foot and
mouth disease. DIR. S. E. Bennett,
United States veterinarian, in charge
of the district, has appealed to Charles
F. Clyne, United States district at
tOrney, for the protection for his dep
utieS.
DR.. Bennett told of an incident near
harrington, McHenry county, Monday,
when a farmer drove an inspector
from his farm with a shotgun. AT least
five similar instances have occurred
in the last three days, according to
the United States official.
"The farmers have no cause to re-
sist government officers" said Mr.
Bennett, .as they are being paid fair
price for cattle slaughtered. The only
way to stamp out the disease is to
kill the infected animals"
The farmers win be prosecuted, ac-
cording to the district attorney.

REFUSE TO
COMPLY

Washington, Jan. 19.-The British
government will not consent to allow
the steamer Dacia, recently transferred
from German to American registry, to
proceed to Rotterdam under safe con-
duct with her cargo of cotton. London
so notified the state department.
The British reply to the suggestions
for safe conduct, recently made by
the state department came through the
American embassy at London. While
the text of the message is withheld, it
is known the British objection is based
broadly on the reluctance to create a
precedent, which it is felt would be
followed by many similar purchases OF
German ships in America, and Efforts
to operate them on the former German
trade routes. .. .- e..
The British note does not undertake
to assert the right Of Great Britain to
interfere with ships purchased and
transferred to the American flag in
legitimate way, but said in this in
stance, the British believe the purchase
is not genuine.

capacity to seat any crowd that may
reasonable be expected to come to the
city.
"We are meeting under additionally
favorabl circumstances" continued
the presiding officer of the convention,
because our country is at peace with
all the world while the most studend-
Gus and needless war is raging on the
other side of the water.
I'VE have much to be thankful for
in this country. We have plenty 10
eat and wear and are contributing to
the relief Of the desolate people across
the sea.
There has been no time since I
have been connected with this institu-

should thank for the many blessings
we are enjoying"

WOULD REFORM
CONSULAR SYSTEM

washington, Jan. ia senate bill
to reform the consular system, so that
consuls general, consuls and secret
aries to embassies and legations may
be appointed to certain classes in the
service instead of to specific posts was
passed by the house, with minor
amendments which must be concurred
in by the senate before the measure
becomes law.
The bill would empower to the
president to transfer a consular Of
ficer- or secretary from one post to
another within the same class, with
out requiring ratification by the sen
ate. 1t is primarily intended to relieve
the situation abroad where the Lon
don embassy is congested vita work
while the legations at Madrid and
okhas capitals have little to do.

SHAKESPEARE AND THE MODERN
lists

We confess to a quite old-fashionec
and now much-derided preference fol-
the works of one William Shakespeare
over those of any modern dramatist
Keen as we have been to read the con-
tributions made to dramatic literature
within the latter decades, we have not
felt that a recognition of the genuine
merit of many of them made obligatory
a denial of the superior charm and
power of the supreme playwright. We
conclude from what we read and hear
that many of the men who are, through
columns of dramatic criticism or
through lectures in the class room,
charged with the duty of forming the
general taste in reading, must have
pledged themselves these days to boot
at whatever has been admired and hon
ored and loved in the years that have
passed and to glorify whatever is new
est, most daring, and most decadent.
This is entirely natural. Critics and
teachers of certain cheap quality
find that it is nowadays distinctly up
to them to write sensationally and to
talk sensationally if they are to make
themselves heard at all. In the mean
time undisturbed by the f1ippant crit
icism and the cheap wit of the ultra
modernist, the nobility and the beauty
of the fine old plays have their steady
way with those who find in Shakes
peare not an author to pick to pieces
and to SANDER with false estimates Of
his worth, but an author who can fur
nish reading matter in which thought
and language are competent to satisfy
every need and every mood.
The expert reading of Shakespeare in
public is an event of no small import
ance, and the announced appearance
here during the latter part of the week
of an interpreter who has been rated
as satisfactory by thousands of hearers
should arouse genuine and wide in
terest
