!. P. WEATHERWAX TELLS
ABOUT APPLE GROWING

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. P. WeatherWax.
who have been visiting with their chill
dren in Minot and Des Laos, will re-
turn to their home at Nampa, Ida.,
the latter part of the week.
, The Independent enjoyed a visit
with the former Ward county treas
urer, who appears as though Idaho is
agreeing with him. Mr.. Weatherwax
set out an apple orchard eight years
ago and this year he picked 1900
boxes of apples and will pick about
400 boxes more of the late varieties
on his return.
~ like the fruit growing business
fine,' Mr.. Weatherwax said. "Of
course there is lots of bother for had
to spray my apples three times and
this took some work and labor is
scarce. But there is good money in
fruit growing. We have few peach
trees and when I left home there were
late peaches on the trees and bushels
of them rotting on the ground"
Mr.. Weatherwax said that Idaho
grew big crops this year. The best
crop of wheat averaged 65 bushels per
acre and some fields of alfalfa pro-
duced 800 worth of the feed to the
acre.

Attorney and Mrs. Johnson
Wiu OccunH Their No,

WIZ oSCupy lHSlT VIEW home
The beautiful new bungalow which
James Johnson is building on South
Main street, will be completed next
week when it will be occupied by the
venerable Ward county pioneer and
his good wife. The bungalow has been
under the course of construction all
summer, 0. R. Brown having charge
Of the work. It is without a question,
one Of the best built homes in the city
and cost i nthe neighborhood of &c.
GOO. There is not a stick of mill work
in the entire building, all work being
done by hand and from the very best
of assorted material.
Mr.. and Mrs. James johnson have
resided on their homestead near Bur.
lington, which is now one Of the best
equipped farms in Ward county. They
located on the homestead in the early
eighties, long before Minot was even
on the map. They both worked hard
and prospered and will now come to
Minot to reside. For many years Mr..
Johnson has maintained law offices in
this city and for several years has oc,
cupied the old Bank of Minot building
at the corner of Main street and Sec
ond avenue and during the pleasant
weather made daily trips back and
forth to his home on the farm.

VELVA PRO-GERMAN SCHOOL
TEACHER LOSES HER JOB

Velva Journals: Miss Fannie Kleck--
ner, teacher in the Junior High School
in this city, resigned Saturday. Some
trouble came up in the school last
week where she had been accused by
some of the pupils with making pro-
German statements in class. Miss
Kleckner, however, denies that she
made the statements. The board took
the matter up and made an investi-
cation and returned signed state
ment. Indications are that outside
influences were brought to bear on
the case with the result that the
teacher was advised to resign and thus
avoid another school SCRAP" j. W.
R. Fl. Della has been engaged to fill
the position for the remainder of Ne
term.

FEAR OF FROSTS
KEEPS CORN FIRM

CHICAGO, Sept. 20-while the corn mar
kct was somewhat erratic today Il displayed
underlying strength and ended firmer The
general forecast indicated that predicted
frost would not be severe enough to hurt
the crop. There was great deal OF sell
ing on this theory; wants were supplied
and prices declined below yesterdays close.
Receipts remained small with stocks light
Some bullish crop advices finally discour-
aged activity on the part OF the bears. The
cash article was irmer.
The drying process and cooler weather
are helping to increase the amount Of mer-
chantable corn in Argentina. Shipments
from that country for the week were esti-
mated at 4SO 900 bushels, against 3,197,000
bushels this week a year ago.
Oats also ended frmer. although they
saggcd at one time with corn and, on the
absence of either export or domestic call,
September showed the most strength and
was light. Good support was in evidence
on declines. Advices from the country re-
ported sales by farmers light The tone at
Liverpool was easier on increased export
offers shipments from Argentina for the
week were 300 900 bushels, against l150, 600
bushels a year ago.

There was a good demand at the opening
from Liverpool and Wall street and the
tone was firm with the active positions 7
to is points net higher. New orleans and
one or two room operators also purchased
and some Of the speculative longs took
profits on lines purchased late on Tuesday
Virtually all the supply came from COM
mission houses and some of the selling was
credited to uptown account.
Il was clear in the eastern part of the
belt this morning, but precipitation was
reported from the Southwest, and more is
expected in that section, to be followed by
cooler weather which is apparently coming
from the north.
