Crop Conditions at
Balfour Excellent
Despite Late Spring

Balfour, N. D.. June 19.-Though we
have had rather backward spring,
crop conditions are excellent. and the
prospects for bumper crop were new
er better.
The acreage Of wheat in the south
ern part of McHenry county will prop
ably be less than that of last year, but
other grains will materially increase
the total for the year.
The fine weather the past week,
combined with the warm rains, has
made the grain grow rapidly, and it
is now but slightly less than it's aver
age growth at this time of the grow
ing season.
The corn planting Is about complet-
ed and though, of course, it is too early
to report on the prospects for that
crop. the growing weather has made
the conditions for that crop most ex-
cellent. and everything points to the
fact that with an average frost date
this crop will mature with a big yiela.
Farmers are all busy and will be
until the usual after planting cessa-
ton of work occurs. Conditions are
excellent and all feel assured that our
state will maintain it's supremacy as u
producer Of wheat.

GREAT SESSION
AT ANANOOSE
ENDS SUNDAY
German-B -Baptists Hold a
State Conference-About
800 Attend Meeting.

Anamoose, N. D., June 19.-The ses-
sion Of the convention OF the North
Dakota conference Of German Baptist
churches closed Sunday. The con-
vention was composed Of over 200
delegates, but with accompanying
wives. children and other persons
interested in the meetings from all
over the state, the total of the visi-
tors was estimated to be well over a
thousand.
Besides this the sessions drew sew
eral hundred people daily from sur
rounding towns. This was especially
noticeable at the evening sessions,
when hundreds Of automobiles brought
In people from nearby towns.
The large tent which was put up be-
cause there were no available build
ings In the city large enough to ac-
commodate the gatherings, and which
1t was anticipated would hold all
possible crowds proved inadequate at
the larger sessions. A majority Of the
homes in the city assisted in caring
for the delegates and visitors and due
to the efficient management of local
Baptists not much trouble was expert
enced in handling the visitors as might
be expected.
A number Of prominent clergy from
outside the state were present. Rev.
H. Heringer Of Wishek was elected
moderator of the church for North
Dakota. Rev. Mr.. Schwendener and
Professor Gubleman of New York,
were prominent figures in the conven-
ton.
Saturdays feature Of the North Da-
kota German Baptist convention in
session here was an automobile parade
and tour. Automobile owners of the
city took the delegates and visitors
for a tour over the surrounding coun-
trys At $3.50 p. M, as arranged, 73
cars passed the corner of Main street
and Peterson avenue, and it was in
deed one Of the most impressive auto
mobile parades ever held in the state.
The cars were later Joined by num-
Der more, and the total number in the
tour was almost 100; and since each
car carried from five to ten persons
there were about 700 people
in the parade. The delegates and
visitors were Immediately taken
through the country and expressed
themselves as we'll pleased. The
crowds at the meeting Saturday night
were the largest since the opening OF
the convention, and the tent again
proved inadequate to hold the crowd
The convention concluded it's work
with Sunday nights session.

THREE DENS
CLOSED With
INJUNCTIONS
Three Joints at Minot Put
Under Lock and
Key

Minot, N. D., June 19.-Sheriff John
Nedreloe and States Attorney o. B.
Herigstad swooped down on the liquor
vendors, armed with injunctional pa
pers issued out of district court, and
took possession of a considerable
amount Of liquor and put padlocks on
three places that have been boldly
defying the law. The places locked up
were the pool hall in the basement of
the Zlevor block, the Tin Roof room
ing house and the house occupied by
Harry Hall on Second avenue S. E.
This makes ten injunctions that
! have been served in Minot within the
last few weeks In two Of these per-
manent injunctions have been secured,
! locking up the places for q year and
! taxing the costs against the property.
Fourteen criminal warrants were
! placed in the hands Of the sheriff for
the arrest Of piggers in Minot.
The states attorney when inter-
viewed, stated that it is his intention
Ito hail the law violators up before
the district judge on contempt pro-
ceedings if they persist in violating
the law after the injunctions have
been served. He further stated that
with the cooperation OF the good citi-
zens of Minot who believe in decency
| and order, he could make Minot one
! OF the cleanest towns in North Da-
| kota.
! The plan of getting injunctions
against the places and then using that
las a wrench to twist the noses of vio-
lators Of the law in case they persist,
lis novel in prosecutions Of this kind.
TT serves to reduce the cost Of crimi-
nal prosecutions to the county as the
Iviolators can be punished without go
hing to the cost Of jury trial, and the
levidence to convict Is less.

Many Complaints Coming in to Police

Robbery,

Mandan, N. D.. June 19.--L S.
Roger, cashier of the Merchants Ma
tional bank, and +. e. Jacobs, assis-
tant cashier Of the First National
bank, put in hours searching for shoes,
raincoats, coats and vests, and other
property which was taken from the

the golf links. In the morning one or
the lady members of the club called
Mr.. Royer, and informed him that she
had taken. the clothes to save them
from the rain.
While in this instance property was
returned, the police are receiving
daily complaints from citizens OF
thefts Of small articles, clothes, tools
and other things from automobiles
when they may be standing in front
Of theaters, at the country club or
elsewhere. 1t is believed that boys
with a small sense of honesty are re-
'sponsible. The thefts have become Sc
numerous, and while not very large
from a financial standpoint, so exas-
perating that scores of people are
anxious to see the extreme penalty
handed out to the miscreants.

COURT IS ASKED
TO DECIDE POINT

Bismarck. N. D.. June 1s.-Another
chapter in the election inspector
squabble was begun when City Attor-
ney McCurdy, acting in his own capac-
lty, and not as attorney for Bismarck.
mandamused the commissioners to ap-
point inspectors according to his in
depreciation of the law.
AT recent meeting, the commits
sion concurred in the appointments
made by the board of county commits
sioners. McCurdy contends that lots
must be cast and that the winner act
as inspector in his precinct and Sc
lect the other five inspectors.
The order to show cause why the
writ should not be issued is returnabfe
at Washburn today, where Judge Nu-
essle is holding court.
Mr.. McCurdy states in his petition
that his interest lies in the fact thai
he is candidate for states attorney
and desires to see the inspectors nam
ed according to his conception of the
law.
This probably is one Of the first
cases brought UP to test the power Of
the city commission to name election
inspectors.

and called for help. Rev. Mr.. Savage.
who cannot swim. was on the shore
and plunged in with his clothes on to
get the boy out. He caught him while
still able to touch bottom but the effort
in bringing the boy in caused the
preacher to get into the deep water
Of the hole himself.
He closed his mouth and attempted
to walk out on bottom. but was un-
able to get up the sides Of the cavity
at the bottom and by a desperate
struggle raised himself sufficiently to
come to the surface. only to sink
again.
All this occurred in a few seconds,
but the boys realized the seriousness
Of the situation. and Arthur Speiser
ran to where the tent was and secured
a rope. This was thrown to the al
most drowned man and he clutched
it and the boys pulled him to shore.
