LET The TRUTH,
BECOME KNOWN

In view of the constant rumors and
assertions made by the opponents of
Miss Minnie Nelson in her candidacy
for the office of State Superintendent
of Public instruction, the writer, like
hundreds of others, would like through
the press to be enlightened by Miss
Nelson concerning the following &C.
cusations that are becoming more and
more persistent
! It is asserted by her opponent that
the Valley City High school at the
time Miss Nelson finished the course
there was but little more than a ninth
grade school. 1t is asserted also that
the records of the University of North
Dakota do not show that Miss Mel
son ever finished a single course in
that institution. 1t is claimed that
| Miss Nelson entered the University
of Michigan on special permit, hav-
ing only one of the fifteen units re-
quired for entrance, that she did but
one years work there and that was
confined to physics, chemistry and bio
logy. They claim that she never was
a student at the University of Chica-
go, that she was registered there for
six weeks as a "visitor" in a class in
chemistry. They assert that she has
never in any of her work received
single credit in psychology, pedagogy
or education. And finally, they boldly
claim that the First Grade Profession
al Certificate which she holds was
given her by former administration,
and that she never wrote an examina-
tion nor passed any legitimate test
to show that she was worthy of it.
The people Of Barnes County be-
lieve that Miss Nelson will run on an
honest record, and her many support
ers would like very much to have
clear statement of the facts regarding
Miss Nelson's education at these var
ious institutions, and the truth about
how she came into possession of her
certificate, that they may sile1ce once
and for all the accusations that are so
acrimonious.

OATS TAKE LEAD
 FROM CORN IN PIT
Dry Weather in Canadian Northwest Dominated the
 Oats Market

Chicago, July 5.-Oats took the lead in speculative activity today, owing to strength at Winnipeg, and forced an ad- vance here in corn. The oats market closed firm, l to 18c net higher, with August 7149@nssc to 71&c. Corn gained "a to 11ac net, and finished unsettled with August sl54Q1,54A and September Sl,5S1sQ1 .55&. The outcome in provisions was rise of 7@l0c to soc.
 Dry weather reports from the Cana dian northwest dominated the oats mar kel, and more than offset favorable weather conditions on this side of the international line. The fact that houses with northwestern connections were ac- tive buyers tended to emphasize asser- tions that the Canadian crop had begun to show material extent the effects Of lack of moisture. In this connection renewed notice was taken of recent ves- sel charters to carry 1,501,000 bushels of oats from Chicago ports on the Georgian bay. Another bullish factor was gossip current that the Canadian government price for wheat would soon be raised to S2.26, jump of , cents bushel.
 Good crop prospects made corn drag. but persistent buying that resulted from oats strength finally absorbed the en- tire surplus offerings. Eastern shipping demand was again in evidence.

Bradstreet's s Review

New York, July 5.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 s.Exceptional conditions present them selves at the turn of the year With the country at war, summer shutdowns so- called are, of course, not to be. expected the more so that weather conditions of late have favored capacity operations, but the recent speeding of industry Tn all branches of war work has been such as would have seemed impossible short while ago. In shipbuilding, iron ana steel production, copper and coal minlns, glass and pottery making, gun and an munition outputs, army clothing manu- featuring and variety of other lines catering to war needs there has been great recent expansion, all the more no- table because midsummer is never as- sociated with fullest activities in factory work. The memorable logic of events high wages. patriotic impulse, and, last but not. least. the work or fight legl5- worked quietly but none the less effectively to cause great reauJust. ments of conditions of employment ana divert hundreds of thousands from peace ful or less essential occupations to those with the carrying on of the war.

FINAL HOUR RUSH
 IN STOCK TRADING
U. s. Steel and Independent Issues Furnish Greater
 Portion of Operations

New York, July 5.-One-third of todaS's light trading in stocks ocurred in the final hour. the early and intermediate stags of the session being punctuated by frequent pauses. The movement tended steadily upward from the opening with maximrrns at the end.
 United States Steel and independent is sues furnished the greater portion of the days operations, although oils, motors, tobaceos and minor war contract issues denoted further pool activity.
 Investment rails were again relegated to the background, Reading as usual proving the only exception. New York Central and New Haven responded to belated inquiry, but transcontinentais and graDgers were only occasionally quoted.
 With United States Steel, which made a net gain of 1%, were Bethlehem and Crucible steelS at extreme gains of 11s& 215 points, and Railway Steel Springs and the motors and their subsidiaries of advances Of the same extent.
 Petroleuns derived much of their ad- vance from Royal Dutch Oil. which jumped 71s points on announcement from abroad Of an IS per cent final dividend for 1917, but yielded half it's gain later
 Central Leather, American Sugar, ln- ternational Nickel, National Enameling and Nauonal Conduit followed the gen. eral advance within a more limited area.
 Liberty issues were inclined to shade, but the general list was firmer though without feature Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,550000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 5.-An advance or nearly cent pound was brought about on the strongest months in the cotton market today by a wave of bug ing which appeared on the opening and was still in evidence on the close. The dry weather in Texas, fear that the drouth would extend to other sections Of the belt, the large launchings of ton mage, the constructive interpretation n placed on the patriotic feeling now sweeping the country, and the tendency Of recent sellers to cover their shorts were the main influences working for higher values.
 Around the opening the new crop was about % points up on buying orders. which had accumulated over the holiday. The dry weather over Texas contributed to the steadiness. The demand increased after the posting of the forecast predict Ing fair weather for all sections of the cotton region. Shorts began to cover at the advance and buyers found little cot. ton for sale. In the last hour of business the demand was keenest and prices reached their highest, a net rise of 45 to 96 points. The close showed net gains of 45 to 92 ro,nts.
 feature of the day was the an- nouncement from Liverpool that the cot ton exchange there had passed a resolu- ton that its members should not trade Britain for 10 years after the conclusion Of peace. While this caused much dis cusslon, 1t had no influence on values.

WEEKLY COTTON

New York, July 5.--The governments report indicating prospects for the third largest crop on record, was nat urally the feature of the week Tn the cotton market. Traders had anticl- pated that the condition as of June 70 would prove well above the 10-year av- craze and the official report of S5.S was not far out of line with private figures The increase of 6.2 per cent reported in acreage. however, exceeded expectations and there was heavy gen. eral selling on the crop indication of 15,325, 900 bales excluding linters.
 The break of approximately cent a pound carried the price of October contracts off to 23.65. comparing with 25.75c, the high level of the previous week It seemed that the selling power inspired by the end-June indication had pretty well spent itself before the close of the market on Wednesday, and much of the loss was recovered during todays trading. Weather ad- vices showed no relief from TeNaS drouth over the holiday, while Liver pool showed unusual strength this morning and sentiment was also ,n- fluenced by the large number Of ships successfully launched yesterday com bined with the encouraging character of the war news
 Before the close tonight, actlye months had recovered to very nearly the level of prices prevailing just be- fore the bureau was published, with the trade evidently very nervous over southwestern crop conditions. Severe damage from holl weevil also expected in eastern belt sections this summer, which served to offset the favorable character of weather and crop news from the belt outside drouthy parts of Texas.
 There has been some further widen ing of difficulties between middling and low grade cotton in southwestern markets. but otherwise little sign of spot pressure has developed. and it ap- : reared that the break on the bea.ish crop figures had left contracts in q stronger technical position The mar ket has shown little interest in fur ther reports concerning price fixing in goods, attention being pretty well monopolized by the uncertainties of the growing season. The importance or weather conditions after July l has been much discussed and buyers have pointed out that the end-June indica tion of 14.266.0G0 bales two years ago WAS followed by yield of only H. 191.Sz0 bales.

OCTOBER COTTON
 MAKES b|G GAINS
General List Closed Firm at Net Advances of 59 to
 97 Points

New York, July 5.-There was a very sharp advance in the cotton market to- day, with october contracts selling up to 2470c, or g points net higher. and just about back to the levels prevailing before report last Tuesday. That delivery closed at 24.62c, with the general list closing firm at net advances of 59 to 97 points.
 Liverpool showed marked strength over the holiday, and the opening here was firm at q decline of 20 points on August. but generally Is to 34 higher. Houses with Liverpool connections were large buyers of early new crop months which soon sol1 some 40 to 50 points above Wednesdays final figures. After these orders had been supplied, prices re- acted slightly during the middle of the day, but soon firmed up again with the demand becoming more active and gen eral in the late trading. Shorts were large buyers, and stop orders were uncov- cred on the advance, which extended to 27.25c for July, or 60 points net higher
 while December sold at 24.35c, with new crop months generally showing net gains of about 90 to 96 points. The close was only slightly off from the best under real.
 izing.
 The continued dry weather in the southwest and increasing drouth com plaints from Texas were considered chiefly responsible for the advance Ser- Ing, inspired by the big crop figures of
 Tuesday, appeared to have run it's course before the holiday, and when shorts turned to cover they found very few con. tracts for sale. Private cables said the advance in Liverpool was due to reports of crop deterioration in Texas and call ing by Manchester spinners. Except for the absence of rain in Texas, weather conditions were considered generally fa- vorable, but many traders apprehen l l damage from boil weevil east of the river. The numerous launchings of yes. terday led to talk of increased exports and there may have been some buying | on the encouraging war news.

Over ". E. Campbetl,s Wire

New Orleans, July 5.--Important ad-
 vances were scored by cotton today, although the market had much a holi- day feeling about it and at no time
 was very active. Offerings of contracts were not liberal at any time and buy CTS put prices up on themselves when they tried to force things. The con tinued drouth in Texas caused uneasi- ness among shorts and created demand which the ring found difficulty in meet ing.
 the advance persistedoall day for stand- ing in, late in the session 5S to 64 points over Wednesdays close on the new crop months. July was inactive. If bull ish interests had forced things they
 could only have caused sensational rise, so resposive was the market to buying pressure.
 The weather map was clear and dry and the official forecast called for fair weather in every state in the belt. The
 point has been reached where Texas must either have rain or else it will show serious deterioration in the July condition report and the fear is that the dry weather in July means for the whole of the belt, that the apex of con- dition has been passed. It is familiar
 market saying that rains in July and August make the crop. Should drouthy
 conditions continue and extend over the belt we believe the new crop outlook would take on new and altogether different aspect. We think the market lis in a position to respond to any fur
 ther buying in the near future. Highest prices came toward the close when the active months were 45 to 96 points up. The close was 45 to 92 points up.-Shephard Gluck.
