Andrew Carnegie tells of an old
Scotch woman who had no great
liking for modern church music. One
day she was expressing her dislike
of the singing of an anthem in her
own church when a friend said:
"Why, that anthem is very ancient
one. David sang it to Saul" "Weal,
weel," said the old woman, 81 moo
for the first time understan' why
Saul threw his javelin at David when
the lad sang for him."

BARLEY YIELD
IS OF THE BEST

Grand Forks, July 22.-During the
past week, teh weather in the north
west has been cool and favorable fol
the filling of small grain. Recent
rains have brought relief to many dis.
tricts of western North Dakota and
northern Montana, where the crops
have been badly damaged by drouth
and heat.
In this territory quite an improve
ment is noted in the condition of the
remaining grain, but the rains have
been local throughout the summer and
the crops are extremely spotted and
vary from almost a failure to possibly
60 per cent of normal.
There are a number of districts in
these two states that are still suffer
ing and, without rains, crops will be
very light. In the eastern half OF
North Dakota conditions are fair in
some places and excellent in others.
Minnesota and South Dakota, as 8
whole, have fine prospects. Much OF
the wheat is headed and filling we'll
The indicated yield is heavy and, with
favorable weather, the quality will be
high. Some early wheat in the south.
ern part of this territory will be
ready for cutting in about ten days.
Barley is being harvested in many
places and the yield is fine. The ber'
rye is large and the quality high. The

The oats do not run as evenly as
barley, but are spotted. Indications
however, are for a heavy crop of gooc
quality.
Considerable rye has been cut. This
crop is very spotted, but has filled bet.
ter than expected, and with the great.
ly increased acreage, there will be ar
unusually large volume.
Flax has improved with recent
rains. AS previously reported, the late
flax is backward and much of it will
probably be caught by frost. Early
flax has a good average in South Da'
kota, Minnesota and eastern NORTH
Dakota. In western North Dakota ant
Montana, the crop has been so dam.
aged by heat and drouth that it will
be light and much of it will not b.
\cut.
The corn crop in Minnesota and il
South Dakota has been a surprise be
cause of its rapid ggrowth and fine
condition. It is from one to three
weeks earlier than last year, when 81
much of it vas caught by early frost
This made it soft and difficult tt

weather, this seasons crop should ma

good yield. The North Dakota acre
age is small and the crop has suffere,
from cut worms and poor weather con
ditions.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

Let us all highly resolve. on the
birthday of the greatest American, to
dedicate ourselves Fundamentally to
war work. to the enc that the world

true liberty and rea democracy. that
liberty shall not perish from the earth
and that each one of us, in his or her
place, shall help to bear the burden
that must be borne, to win the battle
that must be won.
We all know the main facts of Lin
coins life, even as we know the spir-
itual beauty of his rugged counte-
nance. They incarnate for us the very
essence of American ideals. Strong.

for. suffered for. secured and then

To Lincoln the law v in war, was
the law of love. He had room for the

best friend the south possessed. But
