bales of cotton awaiting shipment of the
White Star dock there was hidden rub
ber This consignment was intended by
A. 3. Newman of Italy, but it's ultimate
destination was probably Germany The
waste shipment was held up here and
the Italian authorities were warned to
search the Carpatha's cargo of resin
This led to the discovery of the contra
band rubber hidden in the barrels OF
resin.
The shipment of cotton was X-rayed by
Expert Muller at the suggestion of Brit
ish Consul General Bennett and each Of
the bales was found to contain go pounds
of rubber.
Counsel for the defendants, in a state
ment issued late today, SAID:
Franz Rosenberg, a merchant of Ham
over Germany, came to this country for
the purpose of purchasing rubber for
certain rubber concerns in Austria Sig
mund Carman of the rubber concerns ac-
companied him for the purpose of pass
ing on the quality of the rubber New
man was employed by thcn to do odds
and ends In shipping the rubber in the
manner they did they did so for the pur-
nose Of circumventing the duty and had
not in view the violation of any statute
They did not know that there was stat
ute on the books which compelled them
to give a proper description of the ship
ment in the manifest"

GERMAN zEPPEL|NS RAID SOUTH
END, 40 MILES FROM LON DON
WOMAN KILLED BY FALLING BOMB

South End, Eng, May 27.-uO35 A. ny.
upon this town last night and it is re-
ported that three persons were killed
by bombs which were dropped.
The entire town was illuminated by
the bursting of shells dropped by the
aircraft. The material damage. caused
appears to have been less than on the
occasion of the last raid.
A revised count shows that only one
person was killed, Mrs. May Fabin. who
was here on visit. several persons,
however, were injured.
South End, which is a municipal Dor
ough and popular seaside resort at the
mouth of the Thames. 40 miles east OF
London, has been the target for Yep
pelin raiders several times in the. pas,
six months. On no previous occasion,
however, have the results been serious.
South reports say that two and others
that three Zeppelins took part in the
raid. The uncertainty is due to the fact
that at the time of the attack the sky
was cloudy.
The noise of the propellers OF the air
ships was first heard shortly before II
O'Clock. Then came at once the shock
of the explosions as the bombs rained
down from above. Some of the missiles
were incendary and threw out bright
fares Of light.
Crowds gathered in the streets Of South
end to follow the raiders. Mrs. Fabin,
the only person killed. was leaving a
street car at the moment. 1t is recalled

On GaIlipoIi Peninsula
The Allies report continued progress
OF their operations against the Turks
on the Gallipoli peninsula. During the
armistice which the Turks asked for they
buried very many more than 5000 deau,
while the British gathered up no less
than 1900 Turkish ritles-proof that the
Turkish losses have been extremely
heavy.
These losses were sustained in terrific
counter-attacks delivered against the
fortified. The Turks came under the tire
of the ships at the same time.
The repulse of these counter attacks
and the carrying out of attacks by the

heir to $4,000. He was going to spend
the whole sun on a pure luxury. He
said that $1,000 was not much money
anyway, and that he might as we'll
have a good time with it-even though
a good time lasted only a little while.
When l told him in a general way
that he ought to save that money 1
+. .,rde no imnression on him. But when
/ explained Is hin1 how $4,000 invested
at six per cent, and compounded an

he began to wake up. At 81 he would
have $4,000, at 40 $4,000, and at 81
100000. The $4,000 at 81 would be
yielding him $1,200 a year-a little
more than his present salary.
I had aroused his financial imagiq-
alton to the first real work it had ev-
er dcne-so far as I knew. He hung
onto that money and invested it at six
per cent.
I told him that when he is 81 and

ROTATION AND
THE PROFITS

The average net return per acre
on the North Dakota State Demon
stration farms in 1914 was 1886 per
acre. The crops we're grown in rota-
ton, the general plan being to follow
a corn crop with two grain crops, as
wheat, oats or barley, then a hay crop
as peas or oats, or timothy and clo-
yer followed by a grain crop. The
land is then MANFRED and the rotation
started over with corn. One four &C.
re field is seeded to alfalfa and left
four or five years when it is plowed
up an one of the other fields put into
alfalfa.
The average cost of producing the
crop was 1913 per acre (this includes
rental of land, interest On investment,
man and horse labor, as we'll as the
use and depreciation of the machin-
ery); the return per acre was $17.49,

NO, OAK. TERRITORY
LEADS THE WORLD

AS an indication of the prosperity
and growth of North Dakota, the Bur-
roughs Adding Machine Company of
Detroit, Michigan, called attention to
the fact that North Dakota territory
is leading the world in point of sales
per capita in their product.
The Burroughs Company hangs up
prizes for its statesmen and these are
much sough after by the active and
energetic men who represent them.
One Of these prizes, a gold cup, is Of
fered for the territory selling the
greatest per centage of their assigned
quota of machines. This means that
financial ratings are consulted and a
certain number of machines are deter
mined as the number that each terri
tory should sell in an allotted time.
This cup has been held by the Grand
Forks territory since the first of the
year. This cup is open to every sales
territory of the Burroughs Company
in the entire world and is a much COW
eted prize and honor.
The same company has just closed
a contest which covered the entire
Mississippi Valley, the prize being
$4,000 in gold for the territory SELL
ing the greatest number of machines
in April, May and June. The prize
was likewise Won by the North Dakota
territory with headquarters here.
Kansas City, Missouri, being second
fnd Topeka, Kansas, winning third
prize. These facts indicate something
of the prosperity Of this state and of
its people.

NORTH OAK. CROPS
ARE LOOKING FINE

All North Dakota is now interested
in crop conditions because good crops
means prosperous business conditions.
AS a consequence when the news from
all over North Dakota indicates that
conditions are most favorable as is
now the case, there is general rejoic-
ing. North Dakota has been greatly
favored the present year in weather
conditions. Plenty of rain in most
sections (the government weather
bureau at Grand Forks reports 1874
inches of rainfall in June which is
close to a record fall), fine warm
growing weather, and an absence, so
far, of hot winds or other particularly
unfavorable conditions all point to
bumper corps.
President Edmund Pennington of
the 500 Line is quoted as follows:
Notwithstanding the unusually
long continued rains and the retarding
effect upon the r crop, I was graf
flied to find that u territory is in ex-
cellent promise. s-i~t Hm
The Corn handicap, while serious
does not necessarily mean the loss of
that crop. Much of it will mature
very late but will make fodder.
I am optimistic on the northwest
crop outlook. -~- Suaps
rr1
Wheat, oats, barley are coming into
the head or have already headed out
generally from Iowa to the Canadian
line, reports received at the reporting
station in Grand Forks, and late sown
grain is making good progress. Ex-
cept that corn is backward, the crop
situation is very favorable, these re-
ports indicate.
Rye is filling nicely, although the
stand is a little thin.
On the whole it is difficult to see
how the conditions for small grains
in Minnesota, North Dakota and South
Dakota could be any better than they
are.
