A Big Man vi
In Red Cross Work
Done In England

Somewhere in England, June 12.--
American business men who knew
Harper Sibley as president of the
Chamber of. Commerce in Rochester,
N. Y, would hardly recognize him to-
day, as he dashes about a certain
English city in an automobile carry
ing the badge of the American Red
is chief embarkation officer for the.
Red Cross at one of the most import
ant ports in the British Isles. Almost
every American soldier who has land
ed in England has e Captain Sib-
ley.
Work in a live Chamber of Com
merce is a splendid preparation for
the work over here" said Captain
Sibley to The Associated Press repre-
sentative. The everyday Questions
and emergencies which arise in con-
nection with the handling of the
American troops are not very different
from the questions which used to arise
in connection with our work among
business men in western New York.
my work here is chiefly in an effort
to make things easier for the thous-
ands OF American troops who pass
through on their way to the front.
The army people are always In a hur-
~, and yet even with the utmost hur-
a day or two while awaiting embarka-
ton. Sc we try to keep them COM
Portable and happy. during these de-
lays"
Captain Sibley also has supervision
over several American hospitals In his
district, and is just nov very busy pre-
pairing them for the demands which
will come with the arrival Of the first
shipments of American wounded to
England.

at various points during the night and
yesterday. Bismarck registered .6S Of

WESTERN N. D.
Wheat Conditions in Red
River Valley Indicates
a Big Crop.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 25.-The
rripening of grain and harvesting
have been somewhat delayed in
places in Minnesota and South Da-
kota by heavy rains. Several days
have been warm and humid and
black rust has appeared in some To-
calities, but It has not developed
consideration. The grain in many
places is SO heavy that it has lodged
and this makes it hard to. cut. In
the dry belt Of western North Dakota
and northern Montana there have
been some good showers, which will
improve some of the late grain.
Minnesota.-By the first OF next
week the harvesting Of wheat will be
well under way in the southern half
Of Minnesota. A large percentage of
barley. oats and rye has been cut and
samples which have appeared on the
market show a good quality. Flax
conditions in Minnesota are favorable
and the recent rains have been very
beneficial. We have had ideaA corn

Outside of a few districts i'll the

poets for all crops are excellent.
South Daikota.-Wheat has ripened

in July. This forcing the wheat may
reduce the yield slightly in these dis
tt'icts, but the general wheat situa-
ton throughout the5 state is highly
satisfactory. Harvesting has started
and will be quite general next week.
The cutting Of coarse grains is COM
pleted in many places and the quality
and yield are high. Flax and corn
conditions are fine and average about
the same as the southern half of Min
nesOta.

where the wheat crop was doubtful

six to eight bushels. Rye and flax
are the best crops in the central and
western part of the state.
Montaha.-There is little change in
the situation. In the northern part
OF the. state where the crops have
been SO damaged by drouth, recent
rains have helped the grass and what
little crop remains. In the eastern
portion Of the state. several areas
that have had rains are in fair con-
dition. There r some good dis
tricts in the central part of the state
as we'll as in the southern part. 1t
is certain that the ak yield for this
state will show a decided decrease
from former years, as the eastern
part of he state where most of it is
raised will have a poor crop. y

70 BUSHELS
WHEAT TO- ACRE.
SAYS PATTEN
This Would Mean a $780,.
100000 Wheat Crop for
the Flickertail State.

Bismarck. N. D., July 25.-"Mr.
Hoover has said that food will win
the war and we heartily agree with
him." says Lindley H. Patton, state
director for North Dakota Of the
UnitedA states Employment service.
North Dakota and other states Of the
western wheat belt have exerted every
effort and available resource to make
this years crop a win the war crop.
And North Dakota is comingsdown to
the front line trenches with approxi-
mately 1000 acres Of wheat,
alone. which, with a 20-bushel aver
age per acre-and this seems reason
able at this time-would give North
Dakota a $500, 100000 wheat crop. 1t
is estimated, however. that wheat, will
be only about one-half Of our farm
produce this year in North Dakota,
and other crops, such. as vegetables,
potatoes. hay. livestock. corn, etc,
will, add another $500, 600, 900, making
in all about. 5000, 900. 900 Of a win the

"In the words OF our great presi-
dent, TN order to secure lasting peace
and make the world safe for democ-

1.-THE ,Unbeliever," great patriotic

and is thus inspired to enlist: Philip

THE SOURCE OF STRENGTH
A natural weakness often nrove

A natural weakness often proves
a source. of strength.
The writing of this paradox is the
result of observation and reading ex-
tending over many years.
AS a school boy l remember we
learned that Demosthenes suffered in
his youth. This weakness caused him
to practice speaking with pebbles in
his mouth, and in the end he not only
overcame the habit of suffering but
acquired clearness of enunciation
possessed by few of his time.
Naturally endowed with a weak
voice, he talked against the roar of
the waves on the shore, with the re-
suit that he finally blossomed out into
the greatest of Greek orators.
Louis Cornaro, an Italian nobleman,
who lived in the fifteenth century, in
herited weak body, which he further
disrupted by dissipation, so that at the
age of forty he was given up to die
by his physicians.
Fearing death, he took extraordina-
ry methods to conserve his health, and
The evening leader., 1918-10-29

lived to the age of 1O9, active and in
full possession of all his faculties un-
til his death. He developed a system
of living which today is being follow
ed by thousands. In a nutshell his
philosophy was "Eat lightly"
Maurice de Talleyrand, the great
French statesman, was crippled from
a fall early in his youth. For that
reason, his younger brother was the
favorite son, and was made the SOL
der of the family. Maurice, groom
ed for the clergy, became an interna-
tional figure.
Nelson, the hero of Trafalgar, was a
slight, sickly young man. Up to the
end he was a victim of seasickness.
Yet he developed into one of the
greatest admirals of all times, and
saved England from disaster.
Disraeli, scorned because of his
race, found this scorn gave him the
will to succeed despite all odds. He
became prime minister of England
and added India to the colonies of
Great Britain.
School teachers say that very bright
The evening leader., 1918-10-29

boys never get as much out of school
as medium bright boys. The young
sters with unusually active brains
learn their lessons so easily that they
don't even have to think about them
and learning to think is the chief end
of education.
1t is often a matter of wonder with
many people why the sons of aliens
in this country forge their way to the
front, frequently outstripping native
born boys, conscious of their handi-
caps, put forth strong effort to over
come them, and in doing so thy devel-
op strength which carries them far
ahead of their rivals.
Is it any cause for surprise that az
boy reared in poverty makes great
er success in life thanAthe boy whose
wishes are fulfilled before they are
expressed?
Years spent in overcoming obstacles
develop qualities which the boy who
inherits wealth can never hope to pos
sess; for, unlike wealth they are not
inherited. In our weakness we may
find strength.
