CORN CROP FAILS
IN NORTH DAKOTA
F. S. McNabb Tells of Conditions
in Divide County where He
Has Whole Section

Letters received this week from F.
S. McNabb, a former Stevens county
young man who lives at Noonan, N.
D., where he abandoned drugs to be-
come a bonanza farmer, tell of seri-
GUS conditions there regarding hay
and corn. Mr.. McNabb has just
closed a deal for another quarter Sec
tion of land and now possesses a whole
section: He left Alberta three years
ago to devote his time to the drug
business after leaving school. He had
one eye open for land investment and
several deals began to prosper.
- Everything is in fine condition
here for a bumper fax and grain
crop. There has been plenty of rain
and just now We are having spell
of hot weather. But we will not
have any corn at all this year because
of the late spring. Hay is a scarcity.
Meadows are under water and the
farmer WHO will get any hay at all
will be fortunate, - says Mr.. McNabb.
Speaking of farm lands Mr.. Nc
Nabb states values are raising right
along and that eastern people are
coming in focks to take up the :un.
titled lands. Believing that now il
the time to >buy'he invested in another
quarter and only regrets there wasn't
more to be had at the price he paid.
"North Dakota is a great state anG
we are coming right to the front
Soon we shall feel that our state il
just as good as the great bread anc
butter state," says Mr.. McNabb.

Bass for Scandia Lake

H. L. Hegland, a farmer living
near Scandia Lake in the township Of
Framnas, is interested in fish and
last week took the first steps to have
the lake stocked with bass. A can
containing over 500 baby bass was
brought from the Glenwood hatchery
and dumped into the lake. Mr.. deg
land will endeavor to secure the assis-
tance of the farmers living near the
lake to cooperate with him in protect
ing the fish and to stock the waters
with other varieties. Years ago the
lake was teeming with fish life but
in late years the lake has become un-
popular as a fishing ground. 1t is
one Of the most beautiful sheets of
water in Stevens county.

theirs next Sunday. Seats are free

ly ever since. "I didn't have very
much of this worlds goods when I
arrived and some of the neighbors
told me I was foolish indeed to stick
to cows" said Mr.. Yarger in discuss
ing his intentions yesterday. "But
have those 375 acres and securi-
ties in Iowa worth $28, 900, and the
cows did it all. l raised thirty-six
calves which will be a year-old this
summer and which will net me as
much as some farmers hereabouts

fall. There is pleasure and profit in
mixing. have sold milk in Morris
a long time but at present have no
quart customers, only the hotels and
cafes"
Mr.. Yarger expects to be in readi-
ness to handle a larger milk and
cream trade beginning some time in
the fall. He will have lot of build
ing to do and some more COWS to buy.
Mrs. Yarger expects to leave in
a few weeks for a trip to California

tives, and in hopes of beneftting her
health,

Stone to Visit West

Phil Stone, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. A. Stone, Sr., of this city and
a Morris young man who has become
a prominent attorney at Keewatin, in
the iron range country, left Morris
yesterday on trip through California
and Washington after pleasant visit
with his parents. His destination will
be Pasadena where he has a sister,
Mrs. Cartwright, and new nephew
whom he has never seen before. He
expects to spend several weeks in
Portland and San Francisco. By the
time he reaches Keewatin he hopes
the mining troubles shall have been
settled -.-=- --- ~.~.~--.- ~ g..
"The iron range cities have had
some pretty troublous times lately" 3"
said Mr.. Stone. 'Riot and murder
has resulted at Hibbing, Virginia and
other places but we have been pretty
lucky in that respect at Keewatin.
Most Of the troubles came when re-
presentatives of the I. W. W. ap-
peared on the scene to lead the strik-
ers. The men were returning to
Woak last week after the mining COM
panies had agreed to concessions.
There are something like three or
four hundred miners at Keewatin.
They are largely Films, Italians and
Austrians. The Firms are socialists
almost to a man but are generally
peaceable citizens. They are consid-
cred the most intellectual mining class
but become desperate under radical
leadership. The Austrians and Italians
work side by side and do not seem to
mind the gigantic struggle between
their brothers in Europe. Not many
of them, especially among those at
Keewatin, needed the call to arms al
though there were some who made
their way back shortly after the war
broke out.

ReguIars Defeat Scrubs

Air-tight base ball for eight in
nings was the order of the day at
the fair grounds diamond last Sun
day when Capt. Boyd's regulars and
a crew of young comers who chose
to play under the name of "scrubs, I"
battled before an enthusiastic crowd
of spectators. Pitcher Loeffier was
on the firing mound for the scrubs
and worked like Roman gladiator
till the eighth inning when there
was a blow-up and the Regulars
slipped four scores over the plate.
Rahline was the hurler for the Reg
ulars and would have had shut-out
to his credit but for a submarine at
tack in the fourth inning when the
scrubs fell onto his offerings like hum
CRY tramps at free pie counter. The
result was the accumulation of two
scores. After that premier pitcher
frightened up and his easy ones were
as scarce as linen busters at patri-
ach's ball. johnson did the catching
for the regulars in place of Monlux
who was out of the game on account
of slight injury in a recent game.
Wilson caught for the scrubs and his
work was exceptionally good.
There were no sensational features
during the game. It was a pitchers
battle in which the regulars secured
nine hits and Buttell, Kopitzke and
johnson each secured tWo-baggers,

little known about the city although
he has been here for some time, start
ed a new business in Morris last week

amount of liquor which was confscated
when Westcott was arrested by Officer

BULL AND MAN MIX
IN FIERCE COMBAT
George Splitstoser Has Thrilling
Experience at Bost Farm
Monday Afternoon

George Splitstoser, local butcher,
fought several rounds with an enraged
bull at the Bost farm late Monday af-
ternoon. The bull escaped serious
punishment but George has a few
bruises attached to his person which
will help keen the combat fresh in his
memory for some time. The inter-
ference of Mr.. Bost and his dog end
ed the unequal contest. ~.r-.
Mr.. Splitstoser had gone to the
Bost farm to buy some beef cattle
for his shop and was looking over the
herd when the boss of the bovine
contingent spied him and anticipated
his designs. AS if to take advantage
of the opportunity to wreck vengeance
for the long list of his kind which had
disappeared via the Splitstoser block,
Mr.. Bull made a flying bayonet
charge, leveling both horns at a most
vital spot in Georges bread basket.
Grasping the dangerous situation
George made quick but strategical
retirement but was soon overtaken.
How he handled that beast barehanded
cannot be recorded correctly but when
reinforcements in the person of Mr..
Bost and his dog arrived the fortunes
of battle shifted. The dog executed
successful flank attack while Splits
rlaer slipped through a fence to
fety. He would give a good deal
s.sy to have that BULLS heart, liver
and Tbone boiling at the Splitstoser
sausage factory.

GET BOXES READY
FOR FREE DELIVERY
Eighty-five per Cent of Boxes
Must be Ready Before
.. Service Starts

How soon the free delivery of mail
from the Morris postofice will begin
depends on how soon the patrons pro-
vide themselves with boxes. The
service will not be established until
the postmaster reports that 85 per
cent of the patrons have provided
themselves with boxes.
Inspector Colyer, of Moorhead, has
been here for several days working
with Postmaster Finnegan in making
up data for the department. The
inspector says that Morris is one of
the best towns he ever visited in his
line of work. He is especially pleased
with the compactness of the city
with no sparcely settled additions and
the fact that substantial sidewalks
reach nearly everywhere. The town
has been divided into two routes of
about 800 deliveries each, one route
on the east and one route on the
west side. The carriers will make
two deliveries day, one in the fore
noon and one in the afternoon. The
routes are each about seven miles
long, not counting the distance ira
yelled away from the street.
The department imposes no special
regulations as to the kind of box to
be used, but every patron must have
a box of some kind which the carrier
can reach conveniently without wait
ing for a screen door to be unlocked
or anything else that will delay him.

more than they bargained for. The
invitations are for everybody to come
and spend all or part of the day. A
special car bearing President Vincent

One of the especially interesting
musical features for this afternoon
will be the appearance of the Summer
Session Chorus in patriotic songs.
Many of the teachers now attending
the summer school are song artists
of unusual talent and they will have
"a part in the Chorus. Many of the
teachers have already entered the
girls milking contest which promises
to be an event of unusual interest.
Following is the program for to-
day:
