FIRE COMPANIES
JOIN HANDS; old
FORCES COMBINE
Key City and Eagle Hose
Units, Long in Exist
ence, Merged

After thirty-six years of separate
organization, the Eagle Hose and Key
City Hook and Ladder companies will
merge into the Moorhead Fire depart
ment. This action was decided upon
at meetings of the two companies and
a joint meeting held at department
headquarters on Monday night. N. B.
Remley, o. d. Hide and ]. B. Erick-
son, the committee appointed on plan
and bylaws, will report at a meeting
to be held next Monday night, when
the reorganization will be completed.
The first volunteer fire company in
Moorhead was organized on Nov. Is,
1872 On Oct 81, 1881, Eagle Hose
company was organized and about the
same time the Key City Hook and
Ladder company was effected. Each
company has had it's own officers and
the two. companies have constituted
the Moorhead Fire department. The
chief and assistant chief were chosen
at the department meetings, usually
one officer from each company. The
reorganization plan has been under
consideration for some time and con-
forms with the systems in other cities
of the state. +

HINTS FOR FARMERS
IN DROUTH REGIONS.

Through much of the country where
the. rainfall is normally heavy, on
clay soils, the custom has been to fol-
low a system of ridged cultivation of
potatoes as distinct from level culti-
walton. This season we must get
away from this practice. In many
counties the precipitation has been
deficient and we must readjust our
practices to the conditions. Moreover,
we must cultivate longer and more
frequently than usual in order to con-
serve moisture
The value of a reserve pasture, even
If this must be secured by pasturing
along the roadside, is manifest this
year. With rainfall rather deficient,
1t is very easy to take the life out of
pasture" by overcropping, while a
two weeks rest may insure good
feeding for some months to come. BY
the same token, 1t is bad policy to
pasture the meadows Immediately
after the hay is removed. If the land
Is to be broken this fall, IL makes lit
tie difference; but IL 1t Is desired to
raise hay another year, two weeks
rest is needed before pasturing.
The hay crop is late and rather
short and thin but the late rains are
going to make oat straw a good
length. All such straw should be
housed for winter feeding. It makes
fair feed together with roots and will
simplify the winter forage problem.

q TO 8 O'CLOCK ARE
HOURS FOR ELECTION
Polls VIII BE Open That Time for
Benefit Of Taxpayers to Ballot
ON school Question.

The special school election on the
purchase of site for the proposed
new Third ward school building will
be held at the Moorhead high school
tomorrow and the polls will be open
from 4 TO 8 o'clock p. m.
This is considered the opportune
time to purchase a new school site
and the price at which 1t may now be
secured Is very reasonable. A new
schoolhouse must be built in the Third
ward soon and the present site is too
small for the purpose.
The sentiment in the city mas
changed and is now in favor OF the
purchase of the site for the school
while il is available. In any event, 1t
will be a good investment and the
people of the city should stand behind
the members of the board or educa-
ton. who have recommended the pur-
chase at this time.

PRICES CHANGE
But SLIGHTLY

Chicago Aug. T.-wheat: Prices
were not much changed and, no feature
to the market. Receipts are moderate.
but this is to be expected. Good rains
in Canada have improved prospects
there. 1t Is expected the food bill
will be passed this week.
Corn: Prices started lower but raj
lied sharply on commission house and.
shorts buying. Cash corn was q little
lower and with general rains cover
the northwest half of the belt, the
outlook is much better, and this may
cause somewhat more liberal country
offerings. The eastern demand is still
slow. Locally and at western mar
kets the industries continue to absorb
corn offerings. With continued good
weather, the crop should improve and
later reports are likely to indicate
bigger yields than will probably be
shown tomorrow in@the government
report because rains have come since
the governments correspondents sent
in their estimates.
2 oats: Oats rallied a little, but the
general tone was heavy and cash
market shows no Improvement.

Society NeDS
Minnesota Club
Women Preparing
For State Meet

Oficers and committee chaiEmen
are already beginning to rally their
forces to prepare for the annual con-
vention of the Minnesota Federation
of Women's clubs. which will be held
nearly two months hence in Man
kato. This meeting will be Of un-
usual moment. because of the stress
of the times and the patriotic work
which the women are doing.
While the war work will be OF prime
interest at this years convention and
politics will perhaps not play as i'm
portant a part as in other sessions,
yet the fact that Mrs. Coe has decIin-
ed reelection and a new president
must be chosen this term, necessarily
means that the question is one to
which much thought is being given.
Among the women whose names the
writer has already heard mentioned
for the office are: Mrs. George Allen
of Rochester, president of the First
district, who has done much splendid
constructive work in the rural dis
tricts; Mrs. G, p. Noyes of st. Paul,
a Fourth district woman, who has
been especially identified with the
work along social service lines in
the St. Paul Womens Welfare
league; Mrs. p. L. De Voist Of Du-
luth, ana IN the F1Itn ulStTlCt MFS'
John G. Buchanan, whose term as
president expires this fall; Mrs. v.
c. Sherman. chairman of the home
economies department Of the state
federation. and Mrs. Cassius NJ. Fer
guson, past president Of the Woman's
club and of the Fifth district. While
geography should not be a determin-
ing factor in these elections, II is
thought by many of the women. yet
1t has become something Of an In
stitution in the state federation for
the office OF president to rotate
through the different districts, which
of course would take it out of Min
neapolis this year.
The club women of Minnesota, &C
cording to Mrs. Coe. have never in
the history Of the organization been
as busy as now, but the work Is of
course all along patriotic lines, in
Guiding the Red Cross and conserva-
tion The slogan Is now. she said.
Patriotic work first and federation
second.

1885 BUSHELS OF Oats
FROM. 2 BUNDLE LOADS

Here is evidence that the yield OF
grain in Clay countysis a surprise to
eevn the best farmers. Otto j.
Grover noticed that the first two
bundle wagons carried only Tags"
of bundles when he began ,threshing
oats last week. Then he noticed that
the horses had to pull hard Ito move
the little loads. When the two
loads of bundles had been threshed
he knew the reason for the separator
turned out over 1875 bushels. Mr..
Grover thought the oats would yield
from 80 to 35 bushels to the acre;
but the result Of the first threshing
indicates at least so bushels to tho.
acre. The straw of all small grain
is short, but the heads are well filled
and the quality of the grain far
above the average

Company B Auxiliary
Nets $500 From Fair
Project, For Soldiers

The report of the committee on the
eating booth project OF Company e
Auxiliary at the recent Interstate
fair. shows that the organization has
cleared about 5000. which will be
added to the Company B fund. The
ladies feel very gratihed over the
success Of their efforts. which re-
suited in their booth being one Of
the most popular at the fair.

larry was held Monday evening at the
Masonic library. and an important
feature of business was the election
Of twelve new members. The appli-
cation of ten others seeking MEM
bership were received last evening

is coming from among those directly
interested in Company B Of Fargo, or
mothers, sisters and sweethearts.
The auxiliary last evening ordered
the gift Of a fountain pen to be sent
Second Lit G. A NJ. Anderson, now
Fort Leavenworth. who was until
recently captain Of Company B.
The Auxiliary ladies wish to ex-
tend their most cordial thanks to
everybody who assisted them in any
way at their booth on the fair
grounds, especially the ladies who
contributed the delicious homemade
cakes. all who took part in the Audi
forum program OF last Thursday
evening or who otherwise contributed
to its success. and all who were kind
enough to help out with the compli-
mentary dancing party given for
Company 3 at the K. c. hall next
Friday evening.
Another complimentary dancing
party for the Company B boys, with
the same conditions prevailing as at
the previous affair, is being arrang-
ed by the auxiliary ladies. A COM
mittee to make arrangements was
appointed last evening. and consists
of Mrs. @. p. McKinsey Mrs. D. A.
