ported that he was annoying girl

change. No disposition has thus far
been made of the case.
For some time the man has been

hood OF the building. and at times
has followed one of the girls to her
home. The attention was annoying.
and the frightened girls made COM
plant last night. Night Officer Ner-
dahl saw the man lettering about the
place last night. and ordered him to
move on, and TO return no more.
The man went for a short distance.
then returned to the scene OF his
enumeration. The officer at once
took him in charge and locked him
up.
Some doubt is entertained of the
mans mental responsibility, and tire
officers have thus far refrained from
entering a formal charge. He Is not
a native of the United States. and If
il is shown that he is mentally de
ficient he will undoubtedly be sent
back 10 Norway. He has lived in
this country about four years, ana
has an uncle living about seven miles
northwest Of town.

before Justice Sponholz this after
noon and offered to take charge OF
the man and care for him. The IA

been annoying objected to this I'M

WILSON NOTE DISAPPOINTING

Rome, Aug. Silt is stated At tho
vatican that Pope Benedict on receiy-
ing PRESIDENT Wilson'S reply to his
peace prosals did not attempt to con-
ceal his bitter disappointment, and
that he regards the presidents answer
as leaving little room for further
peace efforts at present. 1t has been
no secret here that the pope hoped
TOR a more favorable response from
the United States than from any,
where else.
Before President Wilson's renlv
was read. it was said at the vatican
that the responses from the yarions
governments were expected to be-
more favorable than the tone of
press comment. AT the same time
tue pope was reported to have signi-
hea his intention of issuing a reply
alter receiving the answer of all the
oeillgerents, pointing out questions
lh regard to which all the nations At
war might be in agreement and others
concerning which it would be neces-
sary to hold discussions.

HORSE LABOR ON FARMS.
National Crop Improvement servloc.l

lNaTi0ndt crop Improvement SerViCc.I
On the grain farm the heaviest
work for the horses comes in April,
May and in August, September and
October The rest of the time there
is practically nothing for the horses
to do. But enough horses have to be
kept during the year to take care of
the work during these busy months.
When averaged up the horse on the
grain farm only works three hours a
day. These figures were secured in an
investigation by the Minnesota Exper-
iment Station, under the direction of
Thomas Cooper, now director of the
North Dakota Experiment Station. In
this same investigation it was found
that when the crops are diversified.
the horse labor is better distributed.
There is less work for the horses in
the seasons that are the busiest on
the all-grain farm, and there is work
or the horses when there is no work
for the horses on the all-grain farm.
