STREET RAILWAY
TIES APPEAR IN
GOOD CONDITION

On the representation of the road
engineers that many of the ties of
the Central Of Florida railway were in
worthless condition. Michael Sholtz,
president of the company secured a
track laying gang of the Florida East
Coast railway to replace such ties as
were needed. The gang commenced
work this morning under the super
vision of Foreman Williams and a
number Of the worst looking ties have
today been removed. 1t seems, how
ever, that all the ties that have been
pointed out as Objectionable are only
decayed on the surface and the hearts
of the ties are as sound as possible
Foreman Williams says it is really
throwing money away to remove the
ties; that the Flagler System would
not remove ties in like condition. and
12O-ton locomotives are run over such
tracks, where only lightweight street
cars traverse the tracks on Beach
street Mr.. Sholtz expresses himself
as ready and willing to do everything
possible to hurry along the compile
ton of Beach street but at the same
time, he feels that the demands of the
contractors are placing his company
to useless expenditure of money.

KILLING SMUT

Smut is one OF the diseases al
fecting grain crops that often re-
duces the yield a great deal. Most
of the smuts that are troublesome
in North Dakota can be prevented
by treating the seed grain with a
solution made up Of Is ounces OF
20 per cent formaldehyde to 40
gallons of water. One way of
treating the grain is to put it in
a bushel basket or box with screen
bottom or in a sack and dipping it
into the solution. The treated
grain should then be piled up or
sacked for few hours or sowed
at once. The formaldehyde solu-
ton cam also be sprinkled on the
grain when it is being shovelled.
This will have to be done care
fully in order to make sure that
all the grains become treated.
Several machines have been in
vented for treating grain with
smut. These are being manufact-
ured ard are for sale by machine

Elent will kill bunt or stinkine
smut rn wheat, the smuts on oats
and barley. The only grain smuts
that it will not kill is the loose
smut ON wheat and barley. The
best way to control these loose
smuts is to pull out the affected
plants on the seed plat, as one
pulls mustard, and burn them.
The seed grain can be treated for
them but it is complicated and
not usually advisable, except for
the seed plat. Soak the grain 10
hours in cold water, then drain
for one hour and immense wheat
ir water t32 degrees to 1873 de-
grees for 10 minutes, and barley
use water at $50 degrees. To keep
the cold grain from cooling the
water too much dip it first into
water at 12O degrees and then
into the final water.
Smut spores are very small,
clean grain may be infected
through threshing machine, bags,
etc. but there are other reasons.
Even if no smut is present
treatment increases the yield be-
cause it destroys other seed
blighting fungi which attacks the
grain.

yColS, UuI WucI IL SCflkeS Lne
world wakes out Of slumber.
The speaker mentioned several
such hours and pointed out some
of the tremendous results and
changes wrought into the fabric
Of the worlds history.
1t was such an hour i'm 1872
when under the leadership of
Chas. Martel the Gross, and Cres-
cent met, the Bible and the Koran,
and the hordes of Asia were driv-
en- back and Europe was saved to
christianity.
Gods clock struck in 1921 when
Martin Luther took his stand and
Professionalism was born, and the
Bible became mans guide and
heritage. 1t struck again in 1888
when the Spanish Armada went
down and England was saved
from the rack. fire and sword.
1t struck when the Puritans set
sail in 1920 to the New World and
landed at Plymouth Rock, and
landing dedicated this country to
humanity and the right to wor-
ship God according to the die
tates of his own conscience.
1t struck again when John Wes-
ley went out from the walls @,
Oxford college as a flaming Evan
gel to old England and saved her
from the misery and throes of a
French Revolution.
Again the clock of God has
struck and we are living in the
most awful period of the worlds
history. There never was a time
Of such commotion and stirring
lof the nations of the earth. There
never was a time, when the spirit
Iof evangelism is so needed as to-
day, and here the speaker made
his plea for Fargo college and all
other like institutions, saying
they were doing work in charac-
ter building. not covered by state
supported institutions.
The hope Of the west he declar-
ed and its salvation largely de-
pended upon the product of such
schools as Fargo college.
Prof. Mustberger gave a talk to
the Endeavors which convincing
ly proved that a college educa-
ton is valuable asset to any
young person, and DR.. Walters
spoke of the value of Christian
young manhood and womanhood
In the evening two addresses
were given. the first by DR.. NJ. C.
Elmer, professor of Sociology and
Economics. He took for his
theme, 'The Three Laws which
must be given every family. grouu
of individuals, community or ma
tion. These were BE True" BE
