PLANT FOOD IN SCREENINGS.

Pc It takes the same kind Of plant food
to make weeds as to produce the grain
crops. In an eight years. investiga-
ton of wheat and screenings at the
North Dakota Experiment Station, q
determination was made of the plant
food removed in the screenings. This
data, applied to the 1915 wheat crop,
as marketed, shows that these screen
ings contained enough plant food to
produce five and one-half million bush
els of wheat.
The weed seed that make up the
screenings in oats and barley would
increase this amount considerably. A
large proportion of the weed seed
skaters before the grain is cut, when
it is being cut and when the grain is
being handled. The plant food used

LISHES UNIQUE BOOKLET.

. The Northern States Power Co. has
just issued a most attractive booklet,
giving many attractive views taken
from the cities this company now
serves.
One page is devoted to the electric,
telephone and steam heat system at
Minot, a picture Of the power plant,
the company's magnificent Office build
ing and the telephone exchange being
shown. The only telephone exchange
operated by the company is at Minot,
where from 10000 to $4,000 calls are
handled daily in a modern exchange,
having connection with the Bell long
distance telephone lines. The steam
power plant burns North Dakota lig-
mite coal. It supplies heat service in
the business district. -
On the first page of the booklet is
shown the picture of Major Persons
Elmwood Farm, located three miles
west of the city. This farm was cleo
triied recently, along with the Ehr
farm, j. E. Elsberry's Riverside Dairy
farm and several other farms up the
Mouse river valley between Minot and
Burlington. On these farms, much of
the work is done by electricity, such
as pumping the water, grinding feed,
doing the family washing, operating
the milking machine on the Elsberry
farm, etc. Next fall, we expect to see
threshing machines operated by cleo
tricity on these farms. The buildings
are all lighted up brilliantly with cleo
tricity, giving the farm owners as eff
fective service as we get right in MI
not. 49,
Burlington, eight miles northwest of
Minot, is furnished light and power
from the Minot plant. Burlington is
given considerable publicity by ap-
pearing on the map shown in the book,
along with. Minot, Grand Forks, Min
neapolis and other progressive places.
Other towns in this vicinity are igur-
ing on connecting up with the light
and power and there is talk Of an
electric line up and down the valley
one of these days. .
The Northern States Power Co. was
organized in 1909. It now supplies
electric light and power to more than
100 municipalities in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Wisconsin
and Illinois.
In 1911, Minot was using 1913 kilo-
watts in lighting, power and heating.
In 1915 the load was increased to 1869
kilowatts, an increase Of more than
double.

Wilberforce is the Oldest Negro In
stitution in the Country.
Especial to The Blade.)

Wilberforce, Ohio. One hundred
and four students, from all depart
ments of the college, classical, scien-
tihl, Theological course, normal and
industrial, commercial and manual
training, We're granted, degrees, di-
plomas and certificates by Wilber-
force University at the fifty-third an
nual commencement of that famous
institution Friday morning.
President w. O. Thompson of Ohio
State University, delivered the com
mencement address, and he walked
with President W. S. Scarborough of
Wilberforce, at the head of the aca-
demic procession which formed at the
library and marched to Galloway
hall, where the exercises were held.
DR.. Thompson's theme was "The
Responsibility of the Educated Man
in a Democracy" He spoke of the
European war, the preparedness talk
in the United States, and used these
as lesson In showing the students
the need of preparedness for the life
struggle. He dwelt upon the fact
that Germany had been preparing for
war for forty years, even keeping
this always before their youth in the
schools and universities.
Following his speech, President
Scarborough conferred degrees and
delivered diplomas. One honorary
degree was conferred. Hon. d. A. p.
Murry who is connected with the Ii
bnary of Congress, Washington, d.
Co, was given the honorary degree of

Political thought in the south has
no conception of the irresistible
forces of nationalism. 1t thinks in
terms of the parish and state. 1t
does not grasp the fact that our eco
nomic organization is national or
that to try to direct it by piecemeal
local regulation is worse than futile.
1t has not learned of <he industrial
revolution and is only dimly con-
scious of the existence of the social
and industrial problems a changed
and changing order of society has
created.
And now that the nation is becom-
ing aware not only of our national
organization, but also of our interna-
tional interests and sponsibilities,
it can submit less willingly than ever
to the influence of the backward po-
litical, economic, and social concep-
tions of the south.
Mr.. Wilson has shown no proper
appreciation of this serious phase of
our political condition. He has been
unduly complaisant to the injury of
his administration and of the coun-
try. His reelection would mean a
continuation of the evil, an evil in
the long run more injurious perhaps
to the south than to any other sec
tion, and to the Democratic party
itself, which has been retarded by its
southern wing and cannot hope to be
acceptable to a progressive people
while it is so largely dominated by
the reactionary tendencies of that
wing.
The Republican party was repeat
edly returned to power because it
had the vision of nationality, while
the Democratic party clung to the
conception of the state, and because
it recognized the great economic
changes which were taking place, and
formed its policies, imperfectly doubt
Hess, but in the main effectively, to
meet them. Now Republicanism is
showing a sense of our international
situation which Democracy refuses
to recognize, and the result of all
must necessarily be its assignment
once more by the American people
to the task of government.
Mr.. Wilson and his party were put
in power by a minority. Their ad-
ministration represents an Interrupt
tion in the true current of American
political, social, and economic ten
dency.

not used itself as an ingredient in war

The Unprecedented demand for the
substance has brought about the open

PRESIDENT WILSON DEFIES
RACE.
Appoints White Man Recorder of
Deeds; Remember This and Other
Act in November.

Washington, d. c., June 16. Presi-
den Woodrow Wilson, United States
of America, has openly defed the
Race. Thursday he appointed John
F. Costello, national committeeman
of the District of Columbia, as Re-
corder Of Deeds. This place has been
long held by some member of the
Race and since the time of President
Cleveland no head of the nation has
sought to ignore the Race by appoint
ing a white man. But the South is in
the saddle, and Wilson is adhering
to the x-Confederates who never
forget the fact that the days of their
supremacy are over and they seek to
try to rule wherever they may. This
act of the present President has vio-
lated a precedent of twenty years
standing. Now, Bishop Walters,
have you still faith in Wilson? We
have not, nor never will, and when
we 90 to the ballot box in November
we will cast our votes for anyone but
him and his friends of the South.
May others follow our course.

BOOTH AS HAMLET.
His Stage Business Was Used by Both
Fechter and Mounet- Sully.

Like all men before the public, Ed
win Booth was frequently the victim
of malicious detraction lie was ac
cused of initiating other actors. at first
his father, then the tragedian Fechter
and others.
Fechter was at that time very popu-
lar in England and IN this country. He
once called ON the younger actor and
said with brutal frankness. Il hear
them say YOU initiate my business. ana
l am going to watch you like hawk"
1t must have been rather trying 10
play to this rival glaring conspicuouSly
from stage box. but at the conclu.
sion of the performance Fechter came
back to say that the charge was quite
unfounded
Shortly after this experience Booth
took night off and went to see Fech.
ter. and he was aStonished to see the
German actor following the ghost H.
Hamlet with the handle of his sword
uplifted as cross. Booth remarked
dryly that Fechter had evidently ap.
proved that part of his business and
had adopted it. Shortly after this the
critic of New York paper made the
interesting discovery that Booth had
purloined this bit of business from the
foreign actor
Booth smiled Mt the eXtravagant
praise bestowed upon Mounet-Sully for
his wonderful business In Hamlet" In
swearing by the shadow of the cross
made on the stage by his sword.
Booths comment was that he had done
that years before Mounet Sully ever
played the part OF Hamlet Both pieces
of business were the results of acci.
dents. On one occasion his sword stuck
into the stage SO that lie could not pull
1t out, and he noticed the shadow cast
by 1t and realized its significance as he
pointed to 1t. On another night, as he
was struggling with Marcellus and Ho
ratio-"Cnhand me, gentlemen. or by
heaven. III make ghost of him that
lets me'-he lost his hold on the sword:
1t flew up into the air. and as he caught
1t he noticed that the hilt made the
sign of the cross; he caught the elo-
quence of its meaning. and it bee me
permanent part of his performance
