BERG URGES LAND BUYING
Former Secretary of State and Prom
. inent Resident of Beltrami County
Sees Great Opportunities Here.
RAISE CORN FOR ENs1LAGE

buy Northern Minnesota land" Is
the advice of Albert Berg, until a few
years ago a prominent resident of
Beltrami county and at one time Sec
retary of state of Minnesota, and a
former member of the state drainage
commission.
''The land in this part of the state
offers greater opportunities than
land in the southern part of the
state," said he. "Raise corn for en-
silage and put it into beef; it will
give the farmer a greater return on
his investment.
Land in this part of the state
cannot fail to grow in value. Good
roads are going to have a great deal
to do with the improvement of farm
ing conditions here. The idea that
Northern Minnesota is not a good
farming district is rapidly being dis
sipated."
Speaking of crop conditions, Mr..
Berg stated that Minnesota would
produce the greatest crop since 1905.
II have been over large part of
the state," continued Mr.. Berg, land
have found conditions excellent.
Many persons believed that we have
had too much rain. I do not Con-
ditions were almost like those of
the present year in 1905-the year
that wheat was piled along the sid
ings at Warren, Argyle and other
towns of the state, because the rail-
roads could not handle it. I remem-
ber it we'll, as I was on the state
drainage board and was making an
inspection of ditching in the north
ern part of the state.
''If we do not get scorching wealth
er during the maturing crop period,
prophecy that the crop will be a
bumper one.I feel absolutely confident
of this, for, as I say, conditions dur
ing the big crop season of 1905 were
precisely similar to weather condi-
tions of the present season."

SHOWS STRENGTH OF COUNTRY
Continues to Grow in Estimation of
Mankind Suffers From Struggle
in Progress, But Silently.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, July 15.-Yesterday
on Bastile day, the annual ceremo.
MES in France which celebrate the
overthrow of absolution marked the
birth of new France, more glorious
than that of the revolution. The revo-
lutionary France, which destroyed
privilege when the Bastile was cap
tured by a mob of citizen democrats,
has now been followed by a goth
century France, fighting to safeguard
the ideals Of democracy which the
revolution first gave to Europe.
France Above Criticism.
The other warning nations all are
open to criticism at the present time
for one phase or another of the COZ.
t1ict. France alone now stands above
criticism. France alone has shown
greater as the war has progressed
France alone has shown an austerity
in the conflict. Only in France can
it be said that the agony of suffering
is giving birth to a new spiritual de-
Velopment. France is making no
protests; France is not crying out
against the inevitableness of death;
France is not engaged in selfpity, nor
is she querulous; nor yet is she seek
ing the praise and sympathy of
neutrals
Suffers in Silence.
France is bleeding, bleeding all
the while, but silently. The strength
of nations character never before
has been more magnificently portray
ed than by the profound silence that
prevails in bleeding France. Every
day France grows in the estimation
of mankind. Every day the world
learns more of the manner in which
France has borne the brunt of the
defence of democracy on the battle
field. France has not told the story,
herself, and therein lies one Of the
foundations of her new greatness. The
other nations have shouted the stories
of their valor and the tales of their
victories to the world at large.
France has left others to discover
her heroism and her successes.
France has produced in Joffre the
type of democratic militarist who
must serve as the ideal to future gen
erations in all countries where free
dom reigns. Joffre typifies the new

Thinks Thaw Still Crazy.
From Malone, this state, comes
word that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw says
Harry will assume ownership of the
zone if he visits the San Francisco
fair" She insists that he is still
insane and will soon show it, al
though he might have been able to
pull the wool over the eyes of the
jurors" Evelyn says that the first
time Harry takes drink of liquor
that he will again become a crazy,
irresponsible person.
Thaw, who until the verdict was
announced, sat at the counsel table
with his chin resting in handker-
chief, turned around and grasped
the hands of several Of his counsel
when the result became known. Then
he went to his mother, who was sit
ting near, throwing his arms about
her neck and kissing her twice.
Arguments Today.
Hendricks set IL o'clock today as
the time he would receive the briefs
and hear the arguments in his cham
bers to dismiss the commitment,
signed by Justice bowling following
the verdict of not guilty on the
ground of insanity, which was return
ed by the jury at Thaw's second trial
for the murder of White.
AS soon as the jury was dismissed.
Thaw:. crossed to the. box and shook
hands warmly with each man. His
mother did the same, saying:
"Thank you so much for all you
have DONE"
1t was with great difficulty that
the court attendants and deputy sher-
ifs prevented scores of men and wo-
men from dashing to Thaw and con-
graduating him.
Look for an Appeal.
AS the jury is really acting in an
advisory capacity the real verdict will
be rendered by Judge Hendricks.
The justice has the power to disre-
gard any verdict the jury may render.
It was reported today that if JUS
tice Hendricks decided that Thaw is
sane the state would at once take an
appeal. Application would then be
made in behalf of Thaw for bail.
