MAJESTIC BILL
FULLOF COMEDY
Two Laughable Acts to Open
and Close Program; Nature
Skit Is Pleasing

Not satisfied with the record es-
tablished last week, the Majestic
management has another act to close
the program for the first three days
of the week that kept everyone seat
ed for the first show last night until
the final curtain. Both the first and
last offerings on the bill are big
comedy hits.
Wellington and Sylvia start the
fun with some novelty juggling pre-
sented in an original way, together
with some crayon pictures drawn
while you wait" Millard and Mar
lin have a weak opening for their
songs and dances. but after a few
old jokes on sugar and coal short
age they gradually improve and at
the close are recalled for a number
of bows.
When the curtain went up for the
skit, "A Hunters Came" the audi
ence saw only an autumn scene, ar
tistically staged. and a setter just
about to start on a run. A storm of
applause came the next instant. In
a few seconds another dog came on
and stood beside the first. This
brought the same approval. The re-
mainder of the skit consisted of bird
calls of all kinds by Frank Stafford
as the nunter, folloWed by a dlaloB
between him and Miss Marie Stone. a
summer girl" The production is
one of the best of the season and is
sure to. please everyone.
Ditzel and Carroll, one in black
face, the other as a physician, have
a farcical offering filled with jokes
and a good display of the wit in
eXaggeration.
The best cycling act in months is
listed for the close, being presented
by the Franz Troupe. In addition to
a number. of difficult feats, there
are many antics presented on Curl
ously-shaped bicycles made from
hoops, barrels and the like. The
feats were so entertaining that no
one left at the first show last night
until the curtain dropped.

The theme of self-sacrifice, which is

1t is an absorbing dramatic story of
man who, harassed by debt resorts
to theft. He deserts his wife, becomes
a hermit longshoreman, changes
clothes with a drowned man, assumes
an alias and later is hunted down by
the police who mistake him for his
own murderer When he learns that

In Townley's Game

Minneapolis, Sept. 16.-The war
industries board by a ruling todav
put an end to the evasions ,practice1
by the Nonpartisan league to get
around the order against the estab-
lishments Of new papers during war
time. League promoters have been
buying papers in small villages and,
moving them to county seats to make
them county organs Of the league.
Ihe ruling came today in a tele-
gram from Thomas D. Donnclly Of
the war industries board to H. C.
Hotaling of <Mapleton, Mimi, presi-
dent OF the National Editorial asso-
citation. and a member Of the advis-
ory committee of the pulp and paper
section Of the var industries board.
Mr.. Hotaling had taken the position
that removals should not be permits
ted, and put the question UP to the
board.
The message received today saws:
Papers cannot be moved from one
town to another unless ARRANGEMENTS
had been completed before August S.
or nles there is no paper in the
town to which the paper is to move.
and a newspaper in that town is
needed"
Recent instances Of evasion of the
order by>the Townleyites are in Nc

have bought the Dassel Anchor and

6:44 this morning. September 16 is the
opening date, and the law provides
that hunting may not be done earlier
than a half-hour before sunrise. The

hunters could begin their lombard

The daily bag limit is five chicks
and Is ducks or geese. The maximum
which may be stored is 10 chickens
and 80 ducks or geese, and not more
than this number may be in the pos
session of any individual hunter at
one time. The chicken seaso closes
October II, and the season on ducks
and geese runs to December /.
Both ducks and geese are reported
to be unusually plentiful, and there is
a greater abundance of prairie chick

spell in June was favorable to the
development of the chicks, and they
have had plenty of hoppers and other
delicacies to fatten on. Many farmers
are insisting that the chicks be spared

WHEAT YIELD
DEPENDS ON
SEED USED
Next Years Harvest De
ponds on Varieties Suited
to Local Condition.

Many bushels can be added to the
1919 liberty wheat harvest, and farm
ers a reap added profits from I'LL
creased yields with no more than tue
usual labor Or expense If the variety
OF seed sown this fall Is pure and is
we'll adapted to the locality, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The seed should
be free from noxious weed seeds and
not infested by destructive plant dis
eases. 1t should be clean, plump and
heavy. If there is doubt about what
variety produces the best yields in a
given locality, the grower should con.
suit his county agent, State Agricul-
tural college. or write the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c.
Homegrown wheat should be used
for seed wherever possible. The best
seed to get is that of an adapted
variety which has been grown con-
tinuously in the locality for some
time, provided it is pure. The idea
that varieties run out" If grown long
in n section, Is. only an expression
for the the fact that they are allowed
to becoce mixed and weedy and dis
ease infected. Changing the kind of
wheat grown should be done only for
the purpose of getting a proved bet
ter variety. 1t is often desirable to
do this, provided it is demonstrated
beyond question that the new variety
Is better for that locality.
So-called new varieties, extrava-
gantly advertised at fancy prices,
should be disregarded completely.
The varieties recommended by the
state experiment stations or other
authorities for the several districts
within a state or region are the ones
Which should be grown. In Kansas,
for example, the Kanred. an improv!
ed strain of Crimean wheat, is COM
monty grown in place of the Turkey
and kharkov. The Introduction Of
these hard red winter wheats into the
Columbia basin Of Oregon and Wash
ington, and elsewhere in that Pacific
northwest, has increased yield and
quality of the wheat produced. Poor
er varieties are being displaced rapid
ly.
The best way to be sure that the
seed wheat is free from mixture with
other varieties and also from weeds
and diseases is to inspect the-grow-
ing field. Each farmer should do this
in his w fields and neighborhood.
When his own variety is not we'll
adapted or otherwise Of good quality,
he should inspect fields Of adapted
varieties grown by some of his neigh,
bors and arrange to obtain seed from
them after threshing. In many in
stances he can arrange to have spe-
cial care given to this field at 'thresh-
ing time in order to prevent mixture.
Such care is especially desirable this

taken up with the authorities at

working along with the Community
Development association of the state
of which F. p. Mann of Devils Lake

GERMAN ADMIRAL EXPLAINS
FAILURE OF UBOAT WAR
Holtzendorf Says American Transports Are Toe
Strongly Protected and Have Too Many Landing
Places to Make Sinkings Possible.

To this the Admiral asked how 1t
could be possible for the submarines
TO be specially directed against the
transports when the Americans have
established decentralization ports all the
way from the north OF Scotland to the
south Of France. and even to the Med
iterranean ports"
with dozens OF landing places" he
asked. "ought We to allow our sub
marines to lie in wait before these ports,
possibly to get shot at by strongly pro-
tected transports. conveyed as they are
by fast naval vessels?
The transports do not arrive on reg
ular schedules. Sometimes, too, they
are aided in landing by fogs, which they
always take advantage Of In view of
all these difficulties It is evident there
is little prospect of success for our u
boats"
1t is recalled that 1t was this same
Admiral Holtzendorff who in February.
1916, reported to Bethmann-Hollweg
that Germany's new submarines would
force England to sue for peace in six
months.
