Barnes County Annual Play
Day One Of Best Ever Held

The sun shone bright and clear Sat
urday morning, which delighted the
hearts of hundreds of boys and girls
all over Barnes county. Early in the
morning the crowds poured into Val
ley City, coming by trains, autos, bug
gies, wagons, hayracks-any way to
get here.
BY $3.50 the auditorium of the Nor
NAL school was filled with radiant
youths. There Prof. Call, of the Nor
NAL school, made the announcement
concerning the athletic contests which
followed. The children sang "The Star
Spangled Banner" followed by the
flag salute.
Preliminary contests had been held
in 20 different sections of the county
previous to this, and over 600 buttons
were given out to the boys and girls
who had qualified in the events at the
preliminary meet.
At 10 on the Normal campus the
smaller children enjoyed the play
ground apparatus and played games
under the direction of Miss Cranz, Miss
Farup, and the other teachers of the
physical education department of the
Normal school. The athletic contests
for the girls were held on the campus
and the boys events were run off on
the athletic field on the hill.
A picnic dinner was held in the city
park. The Valley City Wholesale
Grocery Co. furnished the coffee, which
was served free to all the picnickers.
At 1 o'clock the parade began to form
west of the city park. Owing to the
shower which came on, the parade was
delayed and shortened, as the students
of the Normal school and many other
schools who had planned to march
were not able to go through the mud
with their white shoes and finery.
Chief of Police Swanson, mounted on
bay steed, led the parade, followed
by the Valley City band and an auto
decorated in the county school colors
of yellow and black, representing the
golden grain and the black loan. This
auto contained Hon. E. J. Taylor, Of
Bismarck, state superintendent of
schools, Miss Minnie ]. Nelson, county
superintendent of schools, President
Geo. A. Mcfarland, of the State Nor
NAL school, and ]. F. l.. Bohnhoff,
president of the Barnes County School
Officers association. Following this
auto, came a possession ten blocks
long. The Normal band wagon gave
forth inspiring music along the way.
; It would be impossible to adequately
describe all the floats. They were of
much superior quality to those of the
two previous years, showing more orig
inal thought and excellent worked out
ideas. ..
The judges were Rev. Mr.. Atkinson,
Miss Charlotte Hallock, Mrs. A. 3. Cox,

Diamond Valley Dog With Rabies

The dog of big JOHN" section
boss in charge of the IL Mile Station
on the local railway, showed very
plainly last Tuesday that something
was wrong with him. When an at
tempt was made to ecure him he
struck out toward Garden Pass and
nothing was heard of him until early
Thursday morning when he was
found among the cattle on the Win
zell ranch in Garden valley. where
he was engaged in attacking and
biting all the stock he could reach.
One of the riders on the ranch finally
succeeded in killing the dog. but not
before he had bitten a number of
the animals. There seems little
doubt but that the dog vas bitten
by a rabid coyote and had also de-
veloped this disease.

Death Of Pioneer

Ely Record: James Siri, an old
time resident of Eureka and White
Pine Counties, died at the county
hospital Saturday morning last from
consumption. which he contracted
while working in the mines many
years ago. Mr.. Siri spent several
years at Hamilton, when that camp
was famous the world over for its
silver production. He came to the
Ely district about seven years ago,
and since that time until recently he
followed shoemaking as ar occupa-
ton. He was still interested in valu-
able mining property at Hamilton,
which is now in condition to produce
ore of a shipping grade.
He was always a good citizen and
leaves many friends to mourn his
loss.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Loundrying Republican Lingerie

Sparks reporter: The Elko Free
Press comes out and pans the Re-
publican State Central Committee,
which recently met in Reno. 1t
states plainly and emphatically that
the meeting was a steam roller af-
fair from start to finish. 1t claims
that the Plat contingent meet in
Reno prior to the convention and
made the frame-up. And that when
the delegates from outside points ar
rived they found that the list of dele
gates had been selected and they
were not given a voice in the selec-
ton. Two names are mentioned by
the Free Press as being sufferers
from the steam roller-these two are
Roberts and Norcross.
Altogether the article is a nice
little exposure of family affairs and
presages considerable trouble for the
Republican contingent before long.
One would surmise from the Free
Press article that there are two d.
visions of the Republicans-Platt and
anti-Platt.

DEATH TO COYOTES
Commission Will Put $50 Hunt
ers At Work in Kidding
State of Rabie Pest

Members of the State Rabies Com
mission at a meeting held in Reno
last Saturday with the State stock
and sheep commissions, and a num-
Der of interested cattle and sheep
men. made plans for a Statewide
campaign against rabies says the
Reno Journal.
The offer of the Federal Govern
ment, by E. R. Sans, in charge of the
governmental biological survey, to
aid the fight dollar for dollar, with
the exception of bounty scalp pay
ments, was accepted and $50 hunters
under the direction of Sans will be
placed to work Immediately. In ad-
dition to the fight against rabid coy
otes by the hunters, the commission
decided to make a uniform payment
of 81 per scalp for all coyote scalps.
Under Government Direction
Standing committees of stock and
c%attlemen, together with others, will
be appointed to secure capable, con-
scientious hunters. These commit
tees and the coyote hunters will con-
fer with Sans and be under his direc-
ton and supervision. The State is to
pay half of the expense and the Gov
eminent half. Each county will have
hunters and as an extra measure the
State will pay the scalp bounty.
Guard Cattle Shipments
Extra precautions will be taken in
the shipment of cattle, and inspectors
will be made by experts. Dogs aid
ing in the transfer of sheep and cat
tie from county to county will be
muzzled and when a band of sheep
or drove of cattle is being driven
through a settled district but one
dog will be allowed, according to
tentative plans OF n commission.
Discuss Situation
Every phase of the rabies situation
and means for the eradication of the
disease was under discussion at the
meetings held Saturday. Killing
coyotes by poisoning was not con.
sidered a good method. as this policy
endangered sheep and cattle as well.
Trapping and other forms of coyote
determination was discussed. and
after a session lasting the greater
part of the afternoon, it was decided
to inaugurate a Statewide campaign
against the coyote by the employing
of hunters and the paying of abounty

THE PEONY AND ITS CULTURE
ax c. REsrcHER.

Few people know the wealth OF
beauty and perfume of the peony.
Quite everyone knows the brilliant
old red peony or "piny" of the old
time garden. But from that to the
modern peony is great evolution.
The modern peony is superior in size,
perfume and finish to the chrysanthe-
mum, with less care and more certain
results for labor expended.
The requirements of the peony are
simple, yet at few periods they are
very easily damaged. We have large
areas to handle and cannot give them
the same care one could give a few
plants.
We give the soil thorough dress
ing of fresh manure early in the fall
and SOW to rye. In April we plow the
ground deeply and plant potatoes,
corn or other crops that will have
good culture.
We prefer to plant any time during
September, but planting may be done
at any time (if we'll watered for few
days) from September to May. We
do not approve of lifting plants in
the spring after they have begun al
ready to make rapid and tender
growth.
Plants that are kept dormant by be-
ing dug in the fall may be planted un-
til June with fine success. We have
planted big clumps when in full bloom
and they grew well, but we do not ad-
wise it except when absolutely neces-
sary.
When planting peonies in clayey
ground, they should be set about four
inches deep. but in light, sandy or
loamy soil, five or six inches deep Old
clumps plant bit deeper, leaving
the crown covered lightly until late
when more soil is drawn over them
to make the surface level.
Never use much manure the first
year on newly planted peonies and care
should always be exercised not to
overmanure them. The best way is
to cultivate them about three inches
deep, then apply about one inch of any
manure, working the ground several
times before winter sets in, or they
may be manured after the ground
freezes and the manure worked into
the soil in the spring.
Keep all the weeds out of the
peonies and do not dig over three
inches deep from October until the
buds are as large as acorns. Many
persons have complained about their
peonies not blooming, and upon inves-
tigation and from observations from
my own experience found that when
ever we dug deeply around plants at
the time above stated the plants either
came up blind or bore very small
