FREE BOOTH FOR
RED CROSS Is
GIVEN BY FAIR
Executive Board Also De
cides Civil War Vets
Shall Be Admitted

At a special meeting of the executive
board Of the State Fair association for
Fargo, the board felt that 1t would be
helping a worthy cause to tender the
Red Cross society free concession
space at the coming Interstate fair,
July 1928 and the. following motion
was made by Director w. A. Scott:
"That the fair association tender free
space to the Red Cross society of
North Dakota, to be used for COM
merciaI purposes, provided the mem
bers of the Red Cross give their serv-
ices so that the net amount realized
in profit to the society go to the bene-
At of the Red Cross and not to any
individual, and the necessary free
tickets for demonstrators to the OUT
side gates be included for the actual
help employed and that copy of the
resolution be mailed to the president
of the society" 1t was seconded by
M. A. Baldwin, and carried unani-
mously.
The board will cooperate in every
way with the Red Cross in trying to
make such an enterprise financial
success for the society.
The board also extended a cordial
invitation to the veterans of the Civil
war to attend the fair in uniform,
wearing a button Indicating their
membership in one of the Civil War
societies, and the uniform and badge
will be honored at the outside gates
of the fair grounds each day of the
fair, except Friday and Saturday. This
will give the old veterans an OPP
portunity to see the fair at no cost to
themselves, and the board will try to
see that every courtesy possible is
extended to them while they are on
the grounds.

INDIAN SCHOOLS
UTILITY MODELS
Course Outlined By Experts
Considered Most Prac-
tical of Any Yet

The Indian schools in North Dakota
are today models of practical utility
as the result of the improved course of
study recently adopted by the depart
ment of the interior. This course was
outlined late in 1915 by committee
of eight experts who met in Washing
ton and considered the latest practical
suggestions advanced by American
educators.
Second grade pupils are given each
day one hours instruction in santa
ton, gardening and sewing. In the
third grade this hour is increased to
an hour and a half, and repair work,
cooking, and housekeeping are added.
All pupils Of 10 or over who are still
in the lower grades are given the work
of this first industrial course.
The primary division ends at the
fourth grade. Three hours are now
DEVOTED daily to industrial work, 80
minutes Of it applied to instruction.
the rest to production. Throughout
the fifth and the sixth grades this
average is maintained and affords a
general preparation for the courses
offered in the vocational division.

PASTORS PLEDGE
AID TO LIBERTY
BONDSALES PLAN
Will Give Attention To
Problem in Churches on
The Coming Sunday

The Liberty loan committee of
North Dakota today issued the fol-
lowing statement setting forth plans
for the observance Of Liberty Loan
Sunday.
1T has been suggested to the North
Dakota Executive committee having
in charge the work of bringing to the
attention of the people the United
States Government Liberty bonds, and
asking them to subscribe for the bonds
through their banks, postoffices,
farmers elevator companies, and 9TH
err sources; that the pastors of the
churches of all denominations be asked
through the press to speak to their
parishioners at either the morning or
evening service or both, May 81. upon
the Liberty bonds and the necessity
for the people to Loyalty subscribe for
the bonds and help the government at
this time.
THE pastors, from whom the menu
bers of the executive committee have
already heard, have expressed will
ingness to do this, believing this to be
patriotic duty, and that they can,
and will, influence many individuals
over the state to subscribe for the
bonds in sums of $4,000 or in larger
amounts. Let Sunday, May ~. be
called Liberty Sunday, and let the
people subscribe literally through
their banks and postmasters for the
government bonds. The committee
will sincerely appreciate the co-opera-
ton and help that may be given by
the pastors and their people at this
time in rendering patriotic and 10y
al service to the governments
when so many will be called upon
to give their sons and daughters, it
would seem that 1t is but a small mat
ter for others to loan their money to
the government at a fair rate of inter-
est and that the government may have
plenty of money to care for the boys
in the field, in the trenches. in the
hospitals, or wherever they may be.

the farmer should stay close to shore next year. It is wise to plant some of .all kinds of food and feed crops that can be grown proftably. It is best to plant crops that will not get in the way of each other Consider well the crops that require the least amount of labor. The wheat crop will prove a good one. You will need some wheat for bread The balance will sell for two dollars bushel. Wheat natures at time when it does not interfere greatly with other crops It takes but little time to harvest small wheat crop. It can be stacked and threshed later. Oats will prove a good crop too. Fall oats are the best. Sow rye between the corn and cotton rows, where it is practical. It will make a good cover crop and help the land, and will make a good pasture and save feed. ''~as
 Next year is a good year to use plenty of fertilizer. At the present price of products commercial fertilizer will pay well. Use all the manure you can get and supplement it with commercial fertilizer. Cultivate fewer acres and fertilize heavily. Use high grade fertilizer. It is the best and cheapest in the long run. Break your land as early as possible, and blow deep. In the north the ground freezes ten to fifteen inches deep and loosens the soil, which is almost as good as breaking Here we have no freezes of consequence and must break our land deep in the fall to loosen it and get a good seed bed to hold moisture in the following spring and summer. Deep breaking releases more plant food and makes the following crops better and the land easier to culti- vate.

PROBABILITY ID
 BE DEVELOPED

Ohited Press Special. Washington, Oct. 1.-The Missis- Isippi valley as a great steel and iron manufacturing center is a probability to be developed from the epochal re- halssanee of river traffic, due to rail- way congestion. This future is sug- gested by Colonel Charles Keller. U. .S' engineer, directing the project of transporting iron and coal between St. Paul and St. Louis, via the Mis- sissippi.
 We may later extend the use of inland waterways, if the experiments are successful" said Keller, who holds out hopes of a Lakes to Gulf ideal waterway.
 The result of the plan, if successful would probably make the Mississippi valley the seat of iron and steel in- dustries.
 All year traffic could be maintained by using freight fleets in southern latltudes to move cotton and other products when navigation closes in the north this winter.

pesplsed Rabbit Comes Into Own.

You never know the value of any created thing from one day to an- other much less from one year to the next, says the Los Angeles Times. But recently, as 1t were, the Australian government was offering large boun- ties on rabbit skins and encouraging in every way possible the extermina- ton of this pest of the antipodes. Hav- ing lately received from Great Britain an order for S2,00O,O00 worth of cold storage rabbits, this same government has reversed itself and now prohibits, under a heavy penalty, any wanton destruction of the revenue-producing bunny. So the foes of our prosperity may in adverse times become our best friends. Wherefore it is well to Hove ones enemies" No one can foresee future developments.
