pcrtunfty Of showing the peanle of
this section what fine pottery articles
1t manufactures. Its display arrests
the attention Of every woman pass
Ing that way, and even the men are
interested to know that the commu-
nifty has a plant that turns out such
splendid ware. 1t is worthy of note
that this particular plant is not yet
a year old, yet it has already become
one of the substantial industries in
this section of the state and is at
fording employment to a large num-
Der OF persons at good wages.
Then one beholds the O,Neal
Printing and Supply Company's Sec
tion of the hall with great admira-
ton. The arrangement is perfect
and the articles displayed are of un-
usual merit. They include massive
solid oak roller top desks, cabinet
and chairs along with typewriter
desks and a show case containing Of
/ flee supplies such as inks. typewriter
ribbons and the like.
! The Frank G. WEIGH Company
has an elaborate display of the vari-
Gus lines it carries including bath
tubs, wash stands and the like, cleo
trical appliances and in fact every
thing that goes to make up its stock
in trade. 1t shows its usual charac-
teristic interest in the great annual
exposition that promotes from year
to year many lines OF industry ana
science.
Great Farm Showing.
The farmers, those who raise
fruit, vegetables and grain, are not
to be overlooked. They have done
not only well but superfine as the
exhibits in that department show.
Experienced judges say they never
saw anything finer in that depart
ment and every one who even spies
that corner of the hall agrees with
them. There are fruits Of all kinds
adapted to this section, vegetables
galore and various kinds of grain, all
| worthy of first premiums and then

everyone how the outfit onerates
and to extend every possin,e
courtesy. He never tires but enthu-

to state that his concern will soon

Crossing to the other side Of the
exhibition hall, one views the head

is no less creditable than that OF its

FINLEY LIKES ALEX kARR,

Finley Beacon: DR.. Alex. Karr's lee
ture on personality" given at the
meeting of the Young Peoples Society
last Friday evening, was splendid ef-
fort, and it is regrettable that the time
allotted to him on the program was of
insufficient length to do the subject
justice. Necessarily, Er. Karr had to
eliminate great deal of the lecture in
order to get inside of reasonable
time limit for this entertainment.
But the talk was a grand one. It
makes one sit up and have real old
fashioned talk with himself, makes
one wonder if he has not been mis-
taken in his conception of what per-
sonality is. While DR.. Karr keeps
his audience in a smiling, happy con-
dition throughout his talk, yet the
nearer is forced to take kind of an
inventory of himself, which, while
not always flattering, leaves no resent
ment at the speaker, who has so
nicely directed the thoughts of the
nearer into a new channel that he is
unconscious of anything but admi-a-
ton for the speaker, and is deter
mined to try and do better in the
future.

BIG STEER THAT DRESSED
1,400 POUNDS OF BEEF

Kildeer, N. D., May S.-What is be-
lieved to have been the largest beef
ever grown in the state of North Da-
kota, was butchered at Geo. w. Coles
farm, eight miles southwest of Kill
deer. Mr.. Cole purchased two steers
last winter which weighed 1880 pounds
or just few pounds less than a ton
each, and has since been fattening
them at his farm. The one butchered
dressed out 14O0 pounds of choice
beef, and careful estimate by ex-
perienced men would place the live
weight at 1900 pounds. Both animals
were about as fat as they could be
and the remaining one will be but
chered within a week or two. The
beef was brought in from the farm
Monday evening and placed in the
new ice box in Mr.. Coles meat mar
ket and many people have called and
asked permission to see the large
quarters.

politicians, merely individually, but
which shows that were congress in
session there would be a cleavage
sharp and clear between those who
would demand that America immedi-
ately voice her indignation at the
treatment she has received from belli-
gerents on both sides, but especially
from Germany, and those who would
follow the president in a cautious pol
icy Of watchful waiting for clearer
views. Senator Stone, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, today
issued a statement in which he practi-
cally says:
Don't rock the boat"
Secretary Bryan echoed the senti-.
ment of the chairman.
After talking with President Wilson
tonight concerning the issuance of a
statement on the Lusitania disaster,
Secretary Tumulty gave out the follow
ing:
"Of course the president feels the
distress and the gravity of the situa-
ton to the utmost and is considering
very earnestly, but very calmly, the
right course to pursue.
"He knows that the people of the
country wish and expect him to act
with deliberation, as well as with firm
ness"
The probabilities are that the presi-
dent will have his way because of the
immemorial tradition of closing the
ranks and standing back of the man
at the helm in a foreign crisis.
There is evidence that this will be
the attitude of America, conveyed in
the message of former President Taft.
From Milwaukee Mr.. Taft wired his
declination to discuss the facts and
confined himself to saying that he
would stand by the president. This
will be the attitude of the country
without doubt.

DETMERS KILLED
A GREAT EAGLE

The Bank of Valley City has on ex-
hibition for few days a large black

tackled and was carrying away a 20
pound pig when Mr.. Detmers secured
his gun and shot the big bird. It
measured seven and one-half feet

II pounds. The taxidermist has made
a fine job of mounting, and Mr.. Det-
mers is very proud of his trophy.

The sinking of the Lusitania marks
the climax Of scores Of incidents since
the announcement of the German war
zone decree, concerning which the
American government has been silent.
1t is now predicted that even
though it developed that no American
lives were lost on the Lusitania, that
general representations would be
made by the United States, covering
all the cases involved-the death of
Leon Thresher, an American citizen,
when the British steamer Falaba was
sunk, the dropping Of bombs on the
American steamer Gushing, the attack
on the steamer Gulfight, which was
wrecked with the loss of three Ameri-
can lives.
The report the Lusitania was tor
pedoed without warning created a
profound sensation, for it is the first
case in which the threatened proceed
ure has been carried out with Ameri-
cans aboard the belligerent vessel. In
formation gathered among officials of
the government, and in diplomatic
quarters, tends to Cvnnrm the belief
that plans for the destruction of the
Lustitania were made several weeks
ago. This belief was confirmed by the
various methods the Germans are re-
ported to have used to attract the at
tention Of travellers to the danger Of
travelling aboard steamers traversing
the war zone."
At the German embassy here while
no comment is made regarding wheth-
er it was known the vessel was to be
destroyed, it is said the embassy knew
the Lusitania carried arms and am
munition. A phase of the disaster of
which there remains little doubt, how
ever, in we'll informed quarters, is that
the incident will become matter for
diplomatic correspondence between
the United States and Germany.

New York, May THE Lusitania
with total of 1852 passengers aboard
including 1873 Americans, with a crew
of 816 sailed from here last Saturday
in the face of warning published that
day by the German embassy stating
that travellers intending to embark on
British ships did so at their own risk
Of the ships being destroyed in &C
cordance with the German war zone
decree. This warning, published as
an advertisement did not result in the
cancellation Of a single passage nor
did the anonymous notes of warning
said to have been received by some Of
the passengers just before the Lusi-
tania left the pier, deter anyone.
This afternoon, and tonight anxious
