HAD CLOSE CALL WHEN

Bowbells, N. D., July 15.-Dr. and

near losing their lives when train No.
los struck the front of their car on a
railroad crossing near Flaxton. They
received call from Ambrose to the eff
feet that DR.. Lenfest of that city was
seriously ill and asking for DR.. Linz
burg. The Limburgs got their car out
and Immediately started for the Di-
vide county town. They could not
hear the train on account of the high
wind and were just ABOUT to cross the
track when they were hit. One of the
front wheels of the car was torn off
and the Limburgs were thrown some
distance. They were not seriously in
jured, having received only a few
bruises and scratches. Had they been
ten feet farther on the track they
could not have hoped to escape death
and even as it was they consider
themselves very fortunate to be
able to get out of the accident as easy
as they did. If"

STAGE SUICIDE COMES
NEAR THE REAL THING

Minot, July 14.-Tne stage of Minot
came near furnishing a tragedy last
night that was devoid of tinsel and
make.believe. The victim was Ivan
Hambly Of the st. Clair Stock COM
pany and the accident occurred during
the presentation of the play wife in
Name Only" at the Grand theatre.
In one scene Of this play when Sal
tbs, the part which the victim was
playing, has lost his fortune and finds
it impossible to marry the girl whom
he had introduced as his wife, he turns
a pistol upon himself and commits
stage suicide.
Last night, following this scene
there was long wait, several times
longer than would seem necessary to
the audience. Manager st. Clair ap-
peared and explained that the delay
was due to an accident. When the
suicide" was committed the victim
held the revolver too close to his
breast and as result he was badly
burned by the powder flash. He re-
ceived medical attention behind the
scenes and went on with his part in
the play. But he was nearer a real
suicide than he intended to be.

MARKET DAY PROVES
VERY SUCCESSFUL

Grand Forks, July 15.-One of the
movements which has interested many
North Dakota Commercial clubs dur
ing this spring and summer, accord
ing to the North Dakota Development
League Press Bureau at Grand Forks,
is the market day. This day when
properly advertised and organized
brings into towns hundreds of possible
buyers for the merchants, it makes the
country people and the town folks bet
ter acquainted and promotes social-in-
tercourse. 1t pays all the way round.
One of the latest successes in this line
was pulled off in Deering recently.
Speaking if it's success the Deering
Enterprise says:
"Deering's annual Market Day, held
Monday, drew a large representative
crowd from the surrounding country
and nearby towns, and while high
wind prevailed all day the gathering
was one of the largest that ever visit
ed Deering. The crowd, though large
was jolly and we'll ordered and evil
IDENTIFY enjoyed the whole days pro-
ceedings as favorable comment was
heard on every SIDE"
The Deering program included a
band concert, a parade, a big dinner,
speeches by prominent men, a ball
game and a program Of sports, races,
ETC., all followed by dance in the eve
ming.

REDWOOD 4 HoUeHTALINe
Inscription, $3.50 a Year, in Advance
TOWNS THAT GROW.

In every county and in every state
can be found towns that are continual
ly forging ahead, while other remain
practically at standstill and accom-
p,;sh nothing in the way of advance
ment. In every case the fault can be
found to rest, not with the town, but
with the people themselves. We have
been thinking pretty seriously along
this line and present our conclusions
in this way:
The reason why some towns grow is
because they have men IN them with
push and energy who are not afraid
to spend their time, energy and money
in anything that will boom and bene-
fit the town. They have confidence
enough in their town to erect substan-
tial and modern buildings and resi-
dences and work for public improve
ments in the same order.
They organize companies and estab-
1ish factories, induce industrial enter
prises to locate and use every means
to further the best interests of the
town. Their work is never considered
finished and the accomplishment of
one thing is only an incentive to an
other.
On the other hand, the town that
does not get ahead will be found to be
dominated by either a set of men who
are perfectly satisfied with their sur
roundings or who are afraid somebody
else will be benefited in the event
something is started, consequently no
efforts of any kind is made for these
two reasons.
If some men or set of men endeavor
to start something they are met by op-
position and discouragement and it is
uphill work all the way and very Oft
en- failure. Every town, however, has
a certain progressive element which
hopes for a turn of the tide when the
town will 60 forward by leaps and
bounds and occupy position of i'm
portance and obtain numerous i'm
provements which 90 to make good
town in every sense.
But this stage cannot be accom-
plished by mere wishes or suppose
lions. 1t can only come from harmony
in purpose and action and the eternal
vigilance of it's citizens. The town
with these things will continue to
grow and improve, but the town with
out them can be expected to remain
in state of lethargy indefinitely with
out affording its residents anything
but mere existence.

THE VALLEY CITY WAY

Progressive and enlightened meth
DDS are among the factors that have
placed our city in the limelight on
various occasions. 1t is often desir-
able and profitable to have particu-
lar way. There is the white way"
the milky way" your "own way" and
the valley City way" The latter has
been evolved from local things that
excelled. Our chautauquas, fairs, edu-
cational institutions, industrial enter
prises and individual accomplishments
have become known statewide and ma
tionally as the valley City Way"
The ordinary way would not have
brought such satisfactory results. In
dividually we boast an ex-governor
and a congressman. The community
is made up of individuals, and the bet
ter the leaders the better the commun-
ity. Just now it is a preacher who is
commanding attention. His methods
are not those of Billy Sunday. The
preachers of Valley City do not need
brass band to draw the people to
hear them preach. They can exchange
pulpits and retain their audiences.
Their enthusiasm and efforts to make
men and women better is what counts.
~
though the latter is sometimes neces-
sary. BY cooperation, effort and fair
ness much has been accomplished, and
it is being heralded as the valley
City Way" Is it too much to hope
that some day it may include compe-
tent editor and live commercial club

RUST-WHAT 1T is,
CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE IT

With black rust a topic of absorb
ing interest in grain trade and bust
ness circles these days, information re-
garding the origin and development of
the pest is quite apropos at this stage.
BLACK Tor stem) rust is confined
more or less closely to the stems and
sheath, and the area most susceptible
to its development is the hard spring
wheat belt of Minnesota, North Da-
kota, and South Dakota.
AT irregular intervals of several
years wheat rust epidemics, more or
less general, occur throughout the
country. That these depend to a great
extent on Genealogical conditions is
quite generally believed. Periods of
excessive rainfall, followed by warm
muggy days are supposed to be fav-
orable to their development, though
why this should be is not generally
understood.
AT least three conditions must be
fulfilled before an epidemic can occur:
(D A sufficient number of rust spores
must be present on the growing grain
to give the fungus start. (2) The
humidity and temperature conditions
must be favorable for the termination
Of thoco cporoc opd oonconuont in
lection. (3) The grain must be in
a receptive mood.
Rust, like dust particles, may be
carried by air currents from regions
where they are plentiful to regions
where grain is in a receptive mood.
Where soils are rich in nitrogen, other
conditions being equal, rust attacks
are as rule, most prevalent.
1.-The most critical period for at
tacks of black rust is during the
heading time, period of about ten
days for any one locality. If for any
reason this period is delayed or length
ened, the number of spores falling on
each plant is considerably increased,
infections have longer time in which
to develop, and the danger of an cpl
demic is intensified.
Whether or not these spores cause
infection after falling in the grain, de-
ponds upon various conditions. Sud-
den showers at this time undoubtedly
work off many of the spores before
termination occurs, while fairly humid
conditions and moderate temperatures
are not only favorable, but almost alb.
solutely necessary for Infection.
Contrary to the general belief, mod
erately cool and even subnormal' tenn
peratures are more favorable for spore
termination and infection of the grain
than higher temperatures. (
In the epidemic of 1904 the average
temperature during the critical period
was 8 IL degrees below normal in
South Dakota, North Dakota and Min
nesota, and it is believed that this un.
usually low temperature was an i'm
portant, If not the determining factor
for the rust epidemic of that year.
Precipitation was above normal in only
one state, North Dakota, being below
normal in all others. The humidity in
