Instead of asking you to look at the
fossil of an extinct dinosaur-which to
the lay mind is little more than an un-
interesting collection of ugly bones
Mr.. Gilmore presents a model of the
animal itself. Due to his extensive
knowledge on the subject, it is almost
as perfect a replica of that animal as
he might have made if modelling from
life
He has put the flesh upon the skele-
tons. has clothed them with the char
acteristic coats of mail which these
animals bore. and has added their odd
shaped horns and appendices. The way
in which they dragged their tails or
hoy they held their forepaws-none of
the interesting details is omitted.
They are lifelike and terror-inspiring
enough to make any mere man who

possibility for reviving them in the
flesh.
Just a word about these animals in
general They lived in what Is called
the age of reptiles. and are considered
the strangest forms of reptilian ire
that have ever existed. During their
appearance they attained a great va
rety of form and size.
In some respects they bear close
resemblance to existing birds. and 1of
many years, when their strange loot
prints were found in petrined ROCK
formations it was thought that the
so-caled bird tracks belonged 10
members of this other family Of verte-
brates.
But time and careful study revealed
the fact that these clawhke tracks
were made by reptiles that usually
walked with their hind feet alone, aho

torations have been made Of this rep
tile since 1891. They show consider
able variety of interpretations and are
of interest chiefly because of the d.
verse opinions they exhibit in regard
to the probable arrangement of the
dermal armor. which forms the most
conspicuous feature of the external
anatomy of this curious creature.
None of the restorations portrays fully
the ideas that are now held in re-
gard to the arrangement of its wing
like appendages. Mr.. Gilmorc's model
of stegosaurus is based on several
years study of a large series of steg-
osaurian remains. He has Incorporate
ed in it all of the extant evidence re-
lating to this reptiles exterior appear
ance. 1t is especially Significant that
the important facts relating to the
proper arrangement of the dermal ar
NOR can be fully established in his
model.
Not only has Mr.. Gilmore accom-
plished a clever bit of sculpture. but
he presents for the first time in the
history of this science a completed
model which shows the bony plates
placed correctly in a double row down
the back, with the individual plates al
ternating and the largest one showing
above the base of the tail.
The old reservations show that most
paleontologists believed that these
plates were arranged twenty in num-
Der in a single row down the median
line from head to tip of tail. Mr.. Gil
more's model shows but eighteen Of
these plates.

The head was very small and the

attained a degree of evolution in which
the head became large in proportion to

once stated in regard to these species
that if he were called upon to write
an epitaph on the tomb of one of the
nor sters it would read: II and my
race died of overspecialization."
The tail Of the reptiles in almost
every instance was especially long and
massive. and .ofttimes was armed with
a series of outstanding spines which
proved powerful weapon of offense.
These animals were of gigantic size,
some reaching length of from sixty
to eighty feet. These vast dimensions
give a bulk which surpasses that of
any existing land animal, not except
ing the elephant, which represents the
limit of present-day size.
An enormous number of specimens
of fossil remains of these reptiles are
scattered over the museums of the

If there is one principle with regard to public
office which the American people should adj
here to more strictly than any other, it is that
faithful work in office should be rewarded
Mr.. Lewis has proved himself an exceptionally
able and useful Congressman. Very few
Representatives, in this State or any other, have
SO quickly made themselves important factors in
the work Of the House or so well maintained
a promptly gained reputation. His efforts in
behalf Of the parcel post constitute only part
of his useful activities Only few days ago
in the House Speaker Clark, summing up the
work Of the Democratic Congress, referred to-
David J. Lewis, the able chairman Of the La
Dor Committee in the House---also the next
Senator from Maryland---a student, philosopher
and worker" The description is perfectly ac-
curate; the prophecy will doubtless prove equal
ly SO.
So competent, indeed, has Mr. Lewis proved
in office that Maryland would cast doubts upon
its capacity for self government if it failed to
give him the promotion he so richly deserves.
And that would still be true if his opponent in
the present contest were man Of much larger
political stature than he has shown himself to
be.---Sun Of July 70, 1916.

PIow In Wheat StubbIes
for Hessian Fly

Farmers must remember that the
spring brood Of the Hessian fiy
spends its pupa or flax seed" stage
in wheat stubble during the summer.
According to Director t. B. Sy-
mons, Of the Maryland Agricultural
Extension Service, 1t is very desir-
able, where possible, TO pillow under
all stubble fields early, preferably
before August 10Th, also to destroy
all volunteer wheat. This will pre-
vent the emergence Of the adult flies
in September. IL is not good farm
practice to follow wheat second
year in the same field, although It
is often done.
Then it is common in this State
that wheat stubble is seeded to
timothy and clover, and, therefore,
any kind of cultivation Of these
stubbIe fields il impractical. Under
these conditions, the farmer can
only delay seeding his stubble in the
fall until the flies have made their
way from the stubble to the fields
and died without being able to find
young wheat on which to lay their
eggs"

From present indications and what can be
learned from citizens from all sections of the
county, there is, we are delighted to note a
much wider interest in the success of the Coun-
ty Fair than has hitherto characterized that
phase Of the county's progessiveness. This In
terest should not be permitted to lag for single
minute, for the benehcient results of the fair
from its Inauguration to the present are reflect
ed in our every day intercourse with one an
other, and above all In the increased prosperity
of our county. True large percentage Of our
prosperity is attributable to the favorable condi-
lions brought about by the Democratic admins
hahon In enacting the progressive and construc-
tive legislation during the past four years, but
the added stimulus OF competition In making
the most Of our opportunities has greatly accen-
tuated the competitive feature Of the fair,
both In preparation for prize winning and the
general bettement of quality In cattle, poultry
and crops.
This year the elaborate preparations that
have been made and are in progress will assist
in making the fair especially noteworthy.
The prize list is well balanced and the condi-
lions are such as can be easily met by any prac-
teal, up-to-date farmer OF course, every one
cant win first prize, but in the past compel
ton has been sufficiently close to raise our stand
ards, and that has reflected greatly to our bet
terment IF there should be any who have not
taken the necessary step in preparing an entry
for the exhibits they had better avail themselves
Of the few remaining days before the closing Of
the entries.
Perhaps the really greatest feature Of the fair
has been The bringing together Of our people
from the different sections Of the county. By
its widespread interest throughout the county an
opportunity has been offered for more intimate
knowledge Of our people The roads from all
s. lions are wonderfully good and there is real
| no logical reason for any one missing the
mag i6cent advantage the fair affords. The
spllt Of cooperation has in the past been more
pronouncedly noticeable and the fact that such
spirit is growing daily is an additional reason
for support and patronage Of the factor that is
more largely responsible than any for the atain-
ment Of tbs result.

NEW STORE At OLLIE

Abont the 5th of August will see
the opening of a new general store at
Ollie, one of the new towns south of
Beach, by F. L. Roquette & Co., the
firm operating one of the large de-
partment stores in Dickinson.
The lew business will be located
in {. 25x75 #. building which together
with an adjoining warehouse, 1925
feet, will occupy two lots.
Mr.. Roquette has been in the mer-
camille business in Dickinson for
many years and has met with the
best of success. His new venture is
launched in fast growing little COM
munity and will, no doubt, make good,
especially as it will be under the man
agement of G. F. Rau, an experienced
man in the mercantile business.
Mr.. Rau is nephew of Mr.. Ro-
quatte and for some time was en-
ployed in the shoe department of the
Roquette store. About five years ago
he departed for Tacoma, Wash,
where his parents reside. tss5 .
Mr.. and Mrs. Rau arrived in the
city the latter part of last week, and
until the store at Ollie has reached
completion are relieving at the Ro-
quette store in Dickinson while the
regular force take their vacation.

TAYLOR TO HAVE FINE
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

Excavation has been started for the
new school building at Taylor, on the
site of the building that was recently
destroyed by fire. Jesse M. Warren,
the school architect of Butte, Mont,
has been commissioned by the school
board to prepare the plans and
specifications for the new building
and bids will be opened on August

rem at present is the architect for the
schools being erected at Bowman,
Bucyrus and Hettinger.
The new school at Taylor will con-
tain eight class rooms with a total
capacity of 324 pupils. 1t will also
contain rooms for the domestic sci
ence, and manual training depart
ments. A large gymnasium is to be
provided in the basement Of the
building and on the second floor two
of the class rooms will be connected
with a rolling partition and can be
used for auditorium purposes. The
building will be two stories and base
ment, of brick and concrete and will
have the most modern system Of
heating and ventilating. The build
ing will also have natural slate black
boards and all modern appliances and
fixtures. The building will cost about
$25, 1000 and will be one; of the finest
buildings Of it's size in the state OF
North Dakota. &.

SCHEF|ELD YOUNG MAN
DIES At LOCAL HOSPITAL

Peter Schwartz of Schefeld passed
away at the local hospital at 900
o'clock on Sunday morning as the re-
suit of an infected ear.
Peter was the only child Mr.. and
Mrs. John Schwartz had in America.
He was rs years of age and leaves
to mourn him besides his parents, a
wife and two-weeks old little daugh-
ter. The Peter Schwartz family re-
sided with his parents and in two
years he was to take complete
charge Of the farm.
Deceased, ever since boyhood, was
troubled with a draining ear, but a
short time ago the draining stopped
and the patient; forced by the terrible
pain, entered the hospital for an
operation last Wednesday. The in
fection, however, had spread to the
brain and was beyond surgical aid.
His parents came in to see him sew
eral times in the few days he was at
the hospital and when they learned Of
his dangerous condition, they did not
leave his bedside.
The body was prepared by Boulger
& Hughes and taken to the Schwartz
home on Monday. Funeral services
were held on Tuesday at the st. Plus
church, only short distance from
the home of the decea sed. Interment
was made in the St. Plus cemetery.

ST. CHARLES HOTEL TO
CHANGE HANDS TUESDAY

AS reported in the Press last week,
w. G. Ray has disposed of the St.
Charles hotel business. The purchas-
ers are Harry Eisfeld of Chicago and
D. S. Washer, last year manager of
the Calender hotel at Beach. The
price paid was $4,000, instead of
$4,000, as stated last week. The
new firm will operate under the name
of the st. Charles Hotel Co.
Messrs. Eisfeld and Washer are
hotel men of wide experience, having
operated hostelries in Illinois, Indi-
ana Ohio and North Dakota. In
1905 they opened the Brown Hotel at
Mott, one of the fine hotels of the
Missouri Slope.
The St. Charles hotel will be COM
pletely remodeled and modernized,
and the new proprietors promise one
of the most complete hotels in the
state. The new management will as
sumo charge next Tuesday.

Bobby" Eldridge took first in this
class but had, the battle of his life
in winning out, over Jack Curry, who
was close second. There was some
hot competition in the Is years and
under class but "Cappy" Crawford,
who won his beat in fast time, came
through with a burst of speed in the
final and won out over Webb Haskins.
Reg. Coffin and Wing tied for third.
The stars of the girls races were
Mildred Kilmer in the 9 years and
under class; Alpha Baker in the ~

HAIL STORM DOES BIG
DAMAGE NEAR R|CHARDT0N

A severe hail storm entirely de-
stroyed the growing crops on a num-
ber Of farms north of Richardton last
Saturday evening. The path of the
storm was about a mile in width and
extended several miles in length.
The following farmers lost their en-
tire crop: Mike Hoerner, 400 acres;
Simonson farm, 160 acres Kuhn
farm, 200 acres; Grout farm, 400
acres; Braulick farm, 16O acres;
Scheuffle farm, 200 acres; R. R..
Fleck, 300 acres, and Val Hoerner,
300 acres. Several other farmers in
the same vicinity suffered more or
less damage. 1t is reported that but
a few of those who suffered losses
carried insurance. In addition to the
hail damage at the Grout farm, the
large cattle barn was completely de-
molished by the wind.
