CORN BELT

The commonwealth Of North Da-
kota needs assistance from its citizens
to help establish the fact that it is in
the corn belt. Only individuals may
enter ten ear samples at the First
National Corn Show, St. Paul, which
begins Dec. 1, and continues through
out the month.
This was not a favorable corn-sea-
son for other states as we'll as ours.
We have, however, considerable acre
age that did not mature and if there
are a large number of exhibits made
by North Dakota growers it will as
sist in giving a desirable impression.
An absence Of exhibits is likely to
leave the impression that we cannot
grow corn successfully.
Entry blanks may be procured from
the First National Corn Show, St.
Paul, or through your local bank and
must be certified to by a bank before
forwarding to the FIRST National Corn
Show.
Other northwestern states will be
represented; we should be. There is
no entry fee, and twenty-four trophy
cups are offered to exhibitors from
North Dakota.
There is a class for both boys and
men.
We are all interested in establish
ing and maintining an excellent in
fluence for North Dakota and right
now the corn crop reputation needs
your assistance.

European argument, the party left New
York last Thursday, week ago. The
return route took them through Wash
lngton where the party viewed the
shrines of government and graft, and
then started westward again by way OF
the famous Lincoln Highway. The re-
turn took eight days altogether, landing
them Saturday night in Mankato. Mr..
and Mrs. Metzinger took the night
train from Mankato, leaving the car in
the care of Arno Weddendorf.
Mr.. Metzinger declared that this is
by far the most enjoyable way of Seeing
America first, and furthermore he
claims that America is certainly worth
seeing.
We started out as gulGble amateurs
he declared, "but we came back sea-
soned veterans at the game. Our hard
luck was mostly imaginary, and we
enjoyed ourselves so much that we had
no time to take stock of our worries"

his benefit. Besides, he had another
one and he hardly dared to appear at
home with two when only one was
ordered. So to avoid further trouble,
one Of his friends took the cake. And
another Of the party bought simmet
kuchen-No. 4. On the way home q
heated argument occurred as to which
Of the three cakes really belonged to
Herr x. The more heated the discussion
grew, the less certain Of his ground was
the unfortunate and befuddled Herr x.
Finally, with his simmet kuchen
tightly gripped under his arm he fed for
home. Upon reaching his abode, he
reported to his sleepy help-meet that he
had brought home the simmet kuchen.
Imagine his surprise when she insisted
that he had sent it home several hours
before. And she could produce the
goods, too. That was too much for
, Herr x. It seemed as if all the simmet
cakes in New Ulm were DIGGING his trail.
His wife declared that he had been
making night of it with the boys and
he was too bewildered to even deny the
charge in spite of his record as the
steadiest old horse in the crowd. Simmet
kuchen list gut, aber it is hard to keep
track of.

"All roads and streets in California are
oiled", he said. ''This keeps down the
dust in wonderful shape and also acts
as the best protection against the suction
of the rubber automobile tires which
will tear up ordinary roads in short
while. Most of the main highways are
paved, and the pavement for this and
for the city streets is made of paste of
sand and crude oil which looks and
wears like asphalt.
"A peculiar thing to be observed in
Taft, is the temperature of the city
water, which ranges from 10 to 12O
degrees at all times, due to the fact that
it flows for hundred and fifty miles
mostly in open over ground pipes and
aqueducts."

THE SIMMET KUCHEN THAT
WOULDN'T STAY PUT.

1t was only the usual ten cent simmet
kuchen but it certainly did give one of
our we'll known business men a lot of
trouble the other evening if the reports
of his friends who were with him in his
strange adventure can be taken at par
value. He had it and he didn't have it
and then he had two. But wait a
minute, till we get our bearings and see
if we can untangle most intricately
tangled tale.
If we have been given the right slant
at the story, it happened some thing
like this. Said we'll known business man
offered to ''buy one" for some of his
friends. At the same time he remarked
that he had to get simmet kuchen for
his better half. His friends decided to
slip one over on their hospitable crony
and so one of them stepped in right be-
hind him and bought second sample
of the bakers art. The second cake was
dispatched to the home of the well
known business man, who, for the sake
of saving the typewriter, we will desig-
nate hereafter as Herr Y and arrived
some little time ahead of the master OF
the house. Quite bit ahead, in fact.
With the stage set for the comedy, the
jovial party lined up before the bar of one
Of the local thirst parlors and ''had one''
on Herr x. Some little time was con.
sumed in the careful slowing away of the
liquid refreshments and in the course Of
the festivities the si1nmet kuchen No.
disappeared.
F.! When Herr X got ready to depart he
looked in vain for his purchase. His
friends joined solicitously in the search.
No simmet kuchen. The frantic owner
accused his friends of disposing of it
and hot words soon followed. The
controversy grew SO heated that law
suit seemed imminent and only great
self control kept all the parties concerned
from coming to blows. It was useless,
the pastry was gone beyond recall. So
after unburdening his inmost heart upon
the perfdy of his former friends, Herr X
sailed forth and bought another simmet
kuchen. That made No. 3. His friends
finally persuaded him to return to the
Joy dispensary for little one" to re-
establish the strained relations and 10,
the simmet kuchen was found resting
under newspaper at the very table
they had vacated but short time before.
His friends gravely shook their heads and
intimated that Herr x had better 60 a
little easy in his potions if he expected
to reach home in respectable condition
Herr X refused to have anything to dc
with his first purchase as he was not al
all sure that it had not been doctored fol-

THE OIL INDUSTRY.

''The oil business is not poor mans
game; it is a great gamble where only
millionaires with reinforced concrete
nerve can afford to take chances, said
DR.. G. F. Reineke is recounting one of
the most interesting experiments of his
trip West this summer.
This may serve in the way of a
warning to local investors who might
expect fabulous returns from their in
vestments in oil companies stock. Next
to guessing on the outcome of the Euro
pean war, the oil business is the most
uncertain proposition in the world. When
a company starts to dig a we'll in the oil
district, even if it is in the immediate
vicinity of a we'll that gushes a stream
of dollars faster than the San Francisco
mint, it is never certain that oil instead
of water will turn up. That is the
strange part about the whole thing.
There are veins of pure water running
within a few feet of the oil veins, and
often investors have spent a fortune
drilling well that gave only water.
These are the kinds of wells that the
gullible eastern investor pays for and
then tries to pay the grocery and rent
bills on rarifed hope. The Honolulu
Company, one of the two largest com.
panies operating in the oil district, spent
$5O0,0O0 before they struck oil. They
now have about dozen gushers which
are making a fortune for them"

they are very close together. An oil well
