 Busy's Lassie, driven by Walter R. Cox. won the "Knickerbocker" 2:06 trot for purse of $3,0O0.
 Ima Jay took the first heat in 2:06 3-4, but Cox Mount beat her half a length in the second in 2:O5 3-4 and won the third by more comfortable margin, the time again being 2:05 3-4. There were only two starters in the freefor-all pace, Miss Harris M and Ben Earl and the latter was no match for the mare.

PREDICTS BETTER
 FEELING BETWEEN
 MEXICO AND U. 5.
Mexican Treasury Secretary Denies That Mexico Is
 Pro-German.

New York, Aug. 21.-Luis Cabrera formerly minister of finance of Mexi- co, just returned from a 25,000-mile tour of South America, whither he went last December to attend a con- ference of Latin American neutral na- tions at Buenos Aires. declared here today that his trip would, in an 1ndi- rect way, contribute to better un- derstanding and more cordial rela- tionship between Mexico and the United States"
 MT. Cabrera, although absent from Mexico more than eight months and out of touch with affairs there, eX- pressed the belief that the recent na- tionalization of the oil and mineral lands of Mexico would not interfere with production. and that the allied fleets would still be able to obtain all the fuel they require at Tampico and Tuxpam. At the present time, he said, tho allied countries did not have ship bottoms enough to carry MeXicO's entire output of oil and under the new plan the production would be greatly increased.
 Charges of pro-Germanism in MeXi- co were denounced by Mir. Cabrera, who insisted strict neutrality was being maintained. In proof of his friendship for the United States, he intimated that his attitude toward the war was such in South America that in certain quarters he was the victim of hostile criticism and even insult. Although the Buenos Aires confer ence was necer held, the Mexican en- voN declared his visit to Argentina. Brazil, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and other countries convinced him that the United States governments entrance into the war and her purposes were regarded there as unseltish and praiseworthy
 To Be Treasury Secretary.
 Mexico City, Aug. 20 (Tuesday).- Luis Cabrera, now in the United States after an extended tour of South America, will. on his return to Mexi- co, resume the post of secretary of the treasury, which portfolio he re- signed last winter, according to an announcement made here today.

HOME STUDY COURSE

Mrs. E. E. Moseley has just com pleted home study course in short |hand. The work is taken up lesson by lesson and taught just as if the pupil were present in person. These lessons have been carefully worked out. For four years record has been made of the different questions asked by students, and as the work progresses confidence has grown with l it to the extent that Mrs. Moseley does
 not expect to do any more class work, but devote her entire time to this new
 method of teaching, believing lmplic- l itly that any pupil can learn short hand more thoroughly and in short CT space of time, than by the old
 method of attending class. for it is
 impossible to get together any number of pupils in class who will pro- gress with the same rapidity A limit led number of copies will be ready by
 fSeptember 1st, and others will be
 completed as soon as possible. The price of this course is $12.0O. This
 includes text books and shorthand dic-

In appearance she was an old woman of 80, her skin wrinkled, her eyes dull, her hair grey ana scant. A post-mortem revealed the fact that the entire organization of the body had been attacked by senile decay, and, though the girl was but a child in years, she had undoubtedly died of old age.

Record Of Sugar, Flour
And Substitute Sales
A Record Must bs Made Of all Flour,
Flour Substitute and Sugar Sales
By Retailers in N. D.

According to a circular issued by
Prof. E. F. Ladd Of Fargo, Federal
Food Administrator for North Da-
koto, a record must be made of all
flour, flour substitutes and sugar
sales. A card for this purpose has
been issued, and every sale must be
recorded.
The Fort Yates dealers have had
cards printed for this purpose and
the rule will be strictly enforced.
Patrons should attach no blame to
the local retailers if their supply Of
flour, substitutes and sugar is cur
tailed. The dealers must live up to
the regulations or loose their license
which means that they will have to
suspend business in these lines, if
they do not comply with the order.
The conserving Of wheat flour
and sugar until another crop comes
in is essential to the win
ming Of the war, and will work no
hardship oi..5snyone.
