THE FORD COMPANY WILL
BUILD FARM TRACTOR

Agriculturists are interested in the
statement of Henry Ford, of Detroit,
that he proposes to build a farm trac-
tor that will Danish horses and mules
from the farm. His project is said to
have been prompted by the heavy ex-
ports of horses and mules to Europe
and the prospect that the use Of the
horseless vehicle will become more
popular in farming operations as time
goes on.
During April, 30.7e3 horses were ex-
ported. compared with 1854 in March.
but the ten months record shows a
big increase over the corresponding
period of last year. There were
shipped during the past ten months
215,759 horses valued at $47, 783. 900.
compared with 2O,239 valued at ST.
$4,000 during the same period OF
1914. The total value of all farm ami
mails exported in the last ten months
was $685.. 900 compared with $4,997,-
600 in 1914 and S., 633 900 in 1913.

AMERICANS DROWN WHEN
MULE BOAT IS T0RPED0ED

Washington, June 30.--The Domin-
ion freight liner Armenian" flying a
British flag and carrying mules from
Newport News, Va, was torpedoed and
sunk Monday night by German sub
marine, the U3S, off Cornwall, Eng
land, and nearly score of American
muleteers aboard are reported lost,
according to messages to the state de-
partment from Consul Armstrong at
Bristol. Twenty-Five is the total lost
and ten injured.
The news cerated sensation in off,
cial circles, as it was the first case OF
loss to Americans, since the sinking
of the Lusitania. The gravity of the
incident, however, and the action Of
the Washington government, depends
almost entirely on whether the Ar
menian was chartered by the British
government, and was in fact trans
port of war; aboard which Americans
would sail at their own risk, or Wheth-
er she was an unarmed merchantmen.
In the latter case even though carry.
ing contraband, this government would
hold the ship shoulc have been sub
jected to search, and those aboard
transferred to place of safety before
the destruction of the vessel was at.
tempted.
In the absence of information ON
these points, the officials decline to
ksay what effect the sinking of the
Armenian would have on the pending
negotiations between the United
States and Germany. An immediate
inquiry was directed, to Ambassador
Page at London, to secure more de-
tails, and to Gerard at Berlin, to in.
quire of the German admiralty as to
it's report. The messages indicate
that in addition to the torpedo, at
least one shot was fred from dis
| appearing rifle.
The consuls report said the wire
less house was taken by the second
shot" 1t is not clear whether the
Armenian was first ordered to halt.
and resisted capture, requiring Sec
ond shot, or whether the submarine
attacked without warning. Mules
are contra band of war, so there is no
doubt about the contraband character
of the cargo. The message did not
show just how many Americans were
lost.

ARE CLEANING OUT THE
WARRANTS At SANBORN

Sanborn Enterprise: Sheriff Kelly
made an official visit to town Tuesday
and when he returned to Valley City
two of the floating population who
have been known as Big Whitley" and
Little Whitley" were in his charge
with ten days sentence for vagrancy
which was imposed upon them by
Judge O'Mera. The rest of the "jun.
gle gang" were given two hours to
leave town and it is to be hoped that
this season when a working man
reaches town, he will not be met by
one of the gang of "tin horns" who
have loafed around here for several
seasons. All they ever did was to tell
those who would work to get larger
wages than the farmer can afford to
pay, then when a man has earned a
few dollars, try to get them away from
him by fair means or foul.

new ROCKFORD AFTER
The CAPITAL IN EARNEST

Fargo, July If anybody is in
clined to take New Rockford's cam
paign for the capital as a joke, let
him attend one of the meetings of the
commercial club called every little
while when there is chance of intlu-
encing public sentiment" said Prof
A. P. Hollis today.
Mr.. Hollis has just returned from
New Rockford where he went to ad
dress the school directors of the coun

and the speakers on the program to a
smoker and social time after the meet
ing and it was half hour after the
supper hour when they let them &C
home.
"The meeting was an out and out
frameup to commit the whole Grove
to New Rockford as the newly dis
covered center of the universe, anC
they didn't care who knew it. L. L
Russell, the popular machine man, pre-
sided, and while introducing the speak
ers he got in more booster speeches
himself than any one else. Attorney
Bothne's remarks made Bismarck
seem a thousand miles from nowhere
in the midst of Saharan desert. He
was followed by J. A. Manly, another
lawyer who pointed out that New
Rockford must show the people of the
state that capital removal was not
good just for New Rockford, nor just
for Eddy county-it was the best pos
sible thing for the whole state-and
then he proceeded eloquently to do
Just that thing. President Crane, of
the Minot normal school was called on
and responded in a way that pleased
the most ardent of the boosters"
Professor Hollis also spoke in re.
Spouse to invitation.
1.-THE meeting was held in the new
city building, which is justly the pride
of every citizen of the town." said
Professor Hollis. whether one be.
lieves in the New Rockford movement

tagious and the ozone in the atmos'
phere is good for the blood. New
Rockford is now out for the capital by
