Grow to relate some of the incidents
connected with his trip last July to
Los Angeles as one Of North Dakota's
delegates to the Grand Lodge of the
B. P. 0. E. Mr.. Grow in company
with Mrs. Grow and S. w. Bond left
Minot July 5th for Minneapolis, where
the party joined one of the main con-
tingents of delegates travelling as the
minnesota Special Stops were
made at Colorado Springs, Salt Lake
City, and Ogden, where the delegates
were entertained by the local lodges
and arrived at Los Angeles on the
18th. The great parade given by the
Elks this year was the finest ever wit
messed in Elkdom. The Flower parade
held during the big Elks convention
was the most beautiful and elaborate
ever held in the city so famous for the
magnificence of its flower parades.
Side trips were made to the Cataline
Islands, where they enjoyed some
good fishing 1--WE forbear to mention
the catch Charlie made) then on to
the San Diego fair and days visit
to I'll Juana, Mexico, where they at
tended a bull-fght, famous as the
leading diversion among our fire-eat-
ing, revolt-loving southern neighbors.
There was an attendance Of fully ten
thousand at the bull fight. Five ma
tadors and six wild bulls kept the in
terest of the spectators at fever heat,
until the last of the bovines bit the
dust. Ii Juana is the Monte Carlo
Of the western hemisphere, gambling,
bull fighting, racing and every species
Of sports and games of chance runn-
ing free and openly. The city lies in
territory that is under the jurisdic-
ton of Villa, the famous Mexican
bandit, which may account for the
sporting proclivities of it's people.
From I'll Juana the party proceeded
to San Francisco and the big fair.
Mr.. Grow is enthusiastic over North
Dakota's part in the big exposition.
He says Bill Holbein is doing splen-
did work in charge Of the interests of
N. D. at the exposition, and desires
us to urge upon all farmers the bene-
fits that will accrue to the state if
all will send exhibits to Mr.. Holbein,
sending them to the Great Northern
building, in which case there will be
no charges, as the Great Northern
transports exhibits for the North Da-
kota exhibit free of charge. From
Frisco trips were made across the bay
to Berkeley and Oakland. The major
portion of the business men Of San
Francisco live in either of these towns.
They enjoyed pleasant visit with
Mr.. and Mrs. F. J. Lyman, who like
California and are doing nicely. They
then went to Portland, where they got
their first glimpse Of the sun after
crossing the Rockies. Here they were
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Mike Bar
rett, former Minoters, and called at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Chris. Nc
Dougall. They spent two days in
Seattle and went to Victoria by boat,
visiting points of interest along up
the west coast to Vancouver. From
here they went to Glacier Park and
home. Mr.. Grow in comparing North
Dakota with the Pacific coast states
says that this state has less waste

were obliged to wear heavy winter
clothing during their stay in that
state. The weather was foggy and
cold and disagreeable. The same was
true of Oregon. They were held up
for twenty-three hours by a snow slide
in Glacier. Business conditions in
the West were very quiet, especially

in the numbering industry. Mer-
chants everywhere were complaining.
On account of lack Of ships there
are no facilities for exporting their
products, this is particularly true in
the lumber trade. Portland was very
quiet. Here they called upon Emery
Olmstead, formerly with the Union
National bank of this city. He is now
vice president of the Northwestern
National bank Of Portland, one of the
leading banking institutions on the
coast with deposits of over $4,000, 900.

SECOND CLEANUP

Remarkable Results Achieved
In Initial Campaign.
review OF WORK done.
DR.. T. M. Beatty, Secretary of the State
Board OF Health, Has Reported That
the First Campaign Reduced the
Death Rate Throughout Utah.

The second cleanup contest in the
state of Utah is now on. The first one
was inaugurated early in 1911 by the
secretary of the Utah Development
league. He worked through the COM
mercial clubs of the state, the COVER
nor and the state board of health. AS
q result Utah in 1911 conducted the
first cleanup town contest cTer held in
this country under the auspices of u
state bureau.
SO remarkable We're the results last
year, says the Survey, that the con
test is being repeated this year by the
state board OF health. the Utah De-
vclopmcnt league cooperating. The
manner of conducting the contest and
the mode of scoring will he essentially
the same this year as last. so Il brief
review of last years event will show
the general value of the movement.
The contest started about the middle
of March. Each town organized Il
committee of citizens who outlined and
directed its campaign. Provo, Il town
of 10000 population, selected a commit
tee of fifty. y. captain for each of the
2JO city blocks was also appointed. By
a centrally chosen street the town was
divided into two competing sections.

WATERING THE LAWN.
A Task That, as a General Rule, Is Not
Properly Performed.

There are probably more mistakes
made in connection with the watering
of the lawn tina. in any other phase OF
its management.
The practice Of sprinkling, as it is al
most universally followed, is funda-
mentally wrOng-not that the sprinkler
does not furnish enough water to the
grass during the season. but that it
does not furnish it in properly distrib-
uted quantities.
Sprinklin@ for Il short period may ap-
pear to wet the sod thoroughly. but in
reality the water does not penetrate
much below the surface. This encour-
ages the formation of surface roots
ANA makes the Grass less resistant to
the severe conditions of weather and
usage.
Except in rare cases the lawn should
not be Watered oftener than two OF
three times Il week. y thorough soak
ing is necessary and should be given iii
the late afternoon or early morning.
The ordinary type of revolving spray
is quite satisfactory. but the amount of
water applied by il is usually much
less than appears.
The point to be borne in mind is that
the ground should be thoroughly sattl-
rated at each application to ut least
three inches iii Gepth.-Kansas City
