In The Field of Charity.

Hope Hall and Industrial Farm for
the aid Of the discharged prisoners of
the State is now reality. Born of
the beautiful dream of a philanthrop-
ist, it has now assumed concrete form
at Hampton, Bradford county. and is
receiving its beneiciaries. Those be-
ing discharged from the penal insti-
tutions of the State, are ordinarily
provided with only one suit of cloth
ing, hence wearing apparel for men
and women is an indispensable re-
quirement.
Hope Hall was established by Mrs.
Ballington Booth, the worlds fore
most leader in the field of prison re-
form. This is one of a system of
similar asylums throughout the Unit
ed States, under her direction. for the
reformation of discharged prisoners.
The Florida establishment is under
the immediate jurisdiction of Major
and Mrs. L. A. Odom, who occupv the
positions of State superintendent
They have the valued cooperation of
an advisory board, composed of "a
leading citizens Of Florida. The pro-
gress which has been made in crea-
ting this inestimable asset, for the
enhancement of the moral status of
society, reflects great credit upon its
promoters and managers.

CITRUS FRUIT IS DROPPING.
Prompt Action May Keep Some of it
From Falling From Trees.

The citrus grower never likes to
see the ground under his trees COW
cred with fallen fruit. This year he
observes it especially on account of
the high prices all the fruit is bring
ing in the market. Drops from cer-
tain causes may be reduced, says the
University of Florida experiment
station, and the grower should at
tempt to discover what is causing his
fruit to fall from the trees.
Perhaps the chief cause Of drop
ping IN the stem-end rot. A close
second and often allied with the first
cause, is the purple scale. 1t has
been found in many cases where drop
ping develops, that from a few to a
large number of scale are clustered
about the stem-end of the fruit. APP
parently the minute injury induced
by the scale allows the stem-end rot
fungus to gain entrance to the fruit.
Where the scale are sufficiently num-
erous, they can cause the dropping.
Also, if stem-end rot is present
alone, it can cause the fruit to drop.
Usually, where this fungus is pres
ent, it will cause the fruit to rot af-
ter falling.
Stem-end rot can be Unidentified by
the peculiar type of rotting that
takes place on the fruit. The rotting
starts from the stem as a center and
proceeds outward concentrically. The
rotted tissue is usually of brownish
color.
Where the dropping is from this
cause, if scale is present, the appli-
cation of an oil spray will kill the
scale and may prevent further drop
ping to large extent. The use of
tungicides for stopping stem-end rot
is not recommended at this time. The
best method for control of stem-end
rot and its companion, melanose, is
to keep the trees free from dead
wood which harbors the fungus which
causes it. Also, all dropped fruit
should be collected and disposed of,
either by burying them in deep holes
or by carrying them from the grove.
So far as known, the fungus causing
stem-end rot and melanose lives and
propagates in the dead citrus wood
and in the attacked fruits. The fun

LANCER RAIDED GRAND FORKS

Atty. General LANCER conducted a
raid at Grand Forks and caused war
rants to be issued for the arrest of ten
persons charged with bootlegging and
with conspiracy. He was assisted by
officials from the east side and J. H.
McInerney Of Grand Forks, who cp-
Grated the cooperative brewery at
East Grand Forks was arrested. His
books containing the names Of 5000
customers, were taken. The man adj
mits that he has been handling beer,
but says he merely manufactures it
to the order of his many customers.
Plans for the raid were kept secret.
F. L. Watkins and G. w. Finwall, of
the state enforcement league, assisted
in the raid, as did Assistant Attys.
General Brennan and Bronson u. s.
Atty. Hildreth has had an operative
at work securing evidence against the
owner Of the brewery, who will I'M
doubtedly face federal charge.
Prior to the raid short ride was
taken out along the Crookston road to
a by-road known as Lovers Lane.''
Here beer bottles and their wrappings
were scattered thickly along the road
and at one place an automobile party
of girls and young men were reclining
on the bank drinking out of bottles
The place is favorite retreat for Joy
riders who get their beer at the East
Grand Forks brewery.

THE YOUNG MEN WHO WON.

Kansas City Star: Here's to the
young men whose names were placed
on the 'country's honor roll last week.
1t is not an hour for coincidence in a
single American home touched by the
draft. 1t is a time for felicitation and
congratulation.
The young men upon whom the Ma
tons choice fell are set apart for the
most distinctive service in the history
of the earth. Some of them will be
privileged to go to the front. They
will have an actual part in the world 8
conflict for freedom, such conflict as
the world has never witnessed before.
And these men go to fight that the
world shall never witness such scene
again. They will have part in the
last conflict between civilization and
barbarity which has made war upon
it. 1t is the last stand of the thing
that has caused war from the Begin
ming, and the young men who fight
now fight to end war for all time.
No patriot ever. fought for his coun-
try but that glory crowned his years
because of it. No battle-scarred vet
eran ever was heard to lament his SER
vice or his suffering for his country.
The man who hangs his head in humil-
iation and young men upon whom the
honor lot fell yesterday will get to
fight not only to save their country,
but they go to win for national free
dom everywhere. Think of such ser
vice!

SMASH THE BLACK PLAGUE.

CMAS1 LIE bLACh fLAGUE.
In some quarters the tendency is ev.
ident to regard as inevitable the vast.
age of man power that results from
venereal disease.
Such wastage is not inevitable. II
is not necessary.
This fact has been demonstrated by
our own experience on the Mexican
border. There it was clearly proven
that the camps could be kept clean and
the men kept fit by barring out bad
women and bad booze from the proxi-
nifty of the men in training.
Where business-like regulations
were efficiently administered, the rate
Of treatment among soldiers for these
diseases was only one-half Of one per-
cent. Where saloons, vicious resorts
and clandestine prostitution were let
unchecked, the rate Of treatment was
as high as 20 per cent.
The difference of nineteen and one
half per cent represented the differ
ence between good discipline and bad,
between proper management and i'm
proper management, between conser-
walton OF our man power and needless
waste of our man power.
What was done on our Mexican Dor
der can be done in any American camp
by the same careful, sensible business
like methods.

MEN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.

Those cowardly or disloyal Ameri-
can citizens Of military age who
sought to evade their duty to their
country by leaving the United States
during the period of registration for
the selective draft will richly deserve
their fate if the bill introduced in
congress expatriating and barring
them forever from this country is pas
sed. One Of the most pathetic char
acters in fiction is Edward Everett
Hale's "Man Without Country" but
he was neither a coward nor traitor.
He. suffered lifelong repatriation from
the land of liberty for a thoughtless
exclamation in the heat Of anger. The
sympathy and sorrow evoked for his
plight in the readers Of Hale's master
piece will never be extended to the
poltroons punished under this propos-
ed law. They will be men without a
country, fully meriting the contempt
and ignominy that will be their lot so
long as life lasts.

Minot is doing her share towards
the great world war. Our citizens have
been most liberal towards contributing
to the various war funds. Minot. citi-
zens bought sixty some thousand dol
lars worth of Liberty Bonds and SUBJ
scribed approximately $4,000 to the
Red Cross. Minot has contributed
nearly $500 to the fund to be used for
luxuries for members of Co. D and Co.
A. During the past three months,
this city has obligated itself for more
than 100000 for the various war
funds and is ready to go farther if
necessary. Other towns in the county
have done equally well, considering
population. In addition to all of this,
two companies of soldiers, one hun
dred and fifty each, have been raised
in Minot, the young men coming from
this city and surrounding country.
Scores of others have gone into the
regular army and the navy while hun
dreds Of others stand ready to enter
the selective draft. North Dakota is
loyal, statements of the Des Moines
Capital to the contrary notwithstand-

Friday Was Hottest Day in Minot's
History,

Friday was the hottest day in Mi
not's history, according to records.
The government thermometer regis
tered 1O4 degrees in the shade during
the hottest period, altho a number Of
smaller thermometers about the city
went up to 10 degrees. At II o'clock
at night, thermometers registered 100
degrees.
A hot wind from the south got in it's
work early in the day and kept at it
thruout the day and the following
night. People hunted in vain for cool
places. In the evening hundreds Of
autos were out but the breeze was like
a hot blast from a furnace. Scores Of
people slept out on their lawns until
near morning. Hundreds visited the
river and found some comfort in the
waters Of the placid Mouse. One Of
our old residents, who has lived here
for thirty years, says that this was the
hottest day he can recollect. On the

In commenting on meeting held
by'th state enforcement league at the
Presbyterian church in Grand Forks
Sunday night, the Grand Forks Her
aid says:
"Mr. Finwall opened the meet
ing with a detailed account Of con-
ditions in Minot prior to the raid
and of the cleanup they had
made. This part of the address
was coupled so closely with the
East Grand Forks brewery raid
that the casual hearer might have
inferred that conditions in Grand
Forks were as bad as in Minot."
This is really too bad. 1t was a
shame that Finwall should have SLAM
dered the fair name Of the sanity city
Of Grand Forks, which is located just
across the little stream known as the
Red River, from East Grand Forks.
1t is a serious crime that Finwall
should have said a word against the
city where the five young men were
reared, sons of prominent citizens,
who recently committed nameless
crime against young Larimore wo-
man, a city where nights have been
made hideous with wine and women.
It's really too bad that Finwall de-
picted conditions in Gran d Forks as
bad as in Minot."

DARK DAYS FOR ALLIES.

London is depressed over the recent
Russian events and we'll she may be,
for the Allies are facing the most crit
ical period of the war which has about
come to the close of it's third year.
The French and British soldiers are
holding fast along the west front and
second American army has landed,
unannounced. The American forces in
France are not yet large enough to
make great deal of difference, but
more will be poured in continually and
it will not be long before we have a
few hundred thousand men in the
trenches. The Allies are planning on
three years more Of war, leases being
secured by the armies in France for a
three-year period. The German sub
marines continue to do great damage,
but it is reported that there has been
a slight falling of in sinking. The
Allies are in much better condition as
far as their food supplies are con-
cerned and the submarine menace can
not starve them out as two-years'
food supply is in sight. The Russian
front is what has caused the recent
uneasiness, for two whole Russian ar
mics have proved to be traitors, giving
up their big guns and sacrificing their
gunners without an effort to hold fast
the line. Germans were signaled from
the rear of the Russian line and thous-
ands of Russian soldiers retreated in
disorder. Capital punishment has
been put into force in the Russian
army again, and Kerensky, who is vir-
tually the Russian dictator, has gone
to the front to restore order. He is
Russia's strongest man and it is be-
lieved that he win succeed in bringing
order out Of chaos. 1t is reported
that he ordered 10000 Russian SOL
diers who participated in the disgrace
full retreat shot down by Russian guns.
Much important territory has fallen
into the hands Of the Germans along
the Russian front and the tide must be
stemmed or country will be opened
to the Germans where vast supplies
may be secured. American troops will
probably be sent into Russia to assist
the loyal troops and it is believed that
the North Dakota regiments will be
sent to the western coast to be ready
for Russia as soon as possible. The
Russian soldier admires the Ameri-
cans and it is believed that such an
arrangement will be advisable.

President. Wilson did good stroke
of business when he ordered all drink
ing places and disreputable women
removed a distance. of at least five
miles from every military camp. Our
soldiers must be protected against
these great evils. Not great while
ago, Canada sent 100000 troops across
the Atlantic and the young men were
not properly restrained Fourteen
thousand of this number have been re-
turned, i'll with incurable diseases con-
tracted from women camp followers.
Soldiers face this danger everywhere.
1t is a well known fact that every
where women Of the underworld prey
upon military camps. Military sur
geons and physicians know this and
realize that regardless Of the fact that
straightforward lectures are given
warning the young men of the dan
gers, a certain percentage Of them can
be depended upon not to heed the adj
vice. The rule now in force is for the
young men to take the officers into
their confidence and report their in
discreet acts, regulation treatment
following which has done much to
ward off disease. This was practiced
in the U. S. navy under orders from
Secretary Daniels until some women
went down to Washington and object
ed on the grounds that it was immoral
and the plan has been abandoned in
the navy. Germany has it's own way
of handling Teutonic soldiers. In Ger
many, every woman Of the underworld
is subject to examination after which
she is licensed. In case she contracts
a disease she must report to the au-
thorities, after which she is confined
in a hospital until she is reported
cured.

When Carranza views Uncle Sans
army of more than million, how he
must congratulate himself on the ac-
cident that kept his country out of
war. The poor little Mexican army
wouldn't have made good breakfast.
Representatives and senator's who
represent big business are opposing
President Wilson's plan for food con-
troll. Even in this serious time of war,
these tools of corporations are doing
their utmost to block important legis-
lation. Money is more important to
them than the blood which our brave
young men will soon be called upon to
give. Reed of Missouri is about the
best example Of these corporation
tools.

MILLING AND BAKING DATA FOR

Milling and Baking Data for the
1915 Crop Of Wheat is the title Of
bulletin No. 1872 just issued by the
North Dakota Experiment Station.
Special attention is given to the test
weight per bushel and the way it be-
came a part Of the grain grading sys-
TEN now in use. Mr.. Thomas Sander
son, who did the milling work, is the
author. He also compares what the
farmer receives for the wheat on the
basis Of the test weight grading and
what he would receive if paid on the
basis of the mill products.
