Soy Bean Crop important.

The soy bean was introduced into
the United States as early as 1904, but
1t Is only during the last decade that it
has become q crop Of much impor-
lance. AT the present time it is most
largely grown for forage. In many
sections, especially southwark and in
some parts of the corn belt, very
profitable industry has developed from
the growing Of seed. During the past
few years the acreage has increased
to very considerable extent. The
large yield Of seed, the excellent quail
ity Of forage, the ease Of growing and
harvesting the crop, its freedom from
insect enemies and plant diseases, and
the possibilities of the seed for the pro-
duction Of oil and meal and as a food
all tend to give this crop high DO
tential Importance and assure it's
greater agricultural development in
America.

Prussian Professor Peexed.

The number of women entering Ger
man universities increased from 1898
to 6,527 last winter. The number at
the University Of Berlin alone grew
from $50 to 1922 Professor Won
mowitz-Mollendorf of the Univer-
sity of Berlin, and his colleagues, do
not like this development, and he had
no hesitation about speaking energeti-
cally and sarcastically about it in the
Prussian parliament. 1t seems that d.
though the Berlin professors still be-
gin their lectures with Gentlemen
their hearers are almost exclusively
women. The speech in question was
an argument for lowering the univer
sity standards for men while using the
utmost severity towards women who
wish to learn. WilamowitZ sarcasti-
cally observed that the universities
have been turned into girls schools
and that very considerable number
of the women in attendance We're moth
ing but little girls in short frocks.
These girls get into the university by
reason of certificates which, Wiamo-
WITT says, have no value whatever. He
adds that the result is to reduce the
Berlin professors to the grade and du-
ties of foluth-form masters In the Sec
ondary schools.

Maine Producing Flour.

Flour mills, once fairly numerous In
Maine, but largely eliminated by
Western competition, are being re-
stored through the operation Of the
war, the shortage of transportation
facilities, the conservation of wheat
flour and consequent food regulations
and the increased acreage Of wheat in
this state, says the Lewiston (Me.)
Journal. Maine people will once again
have the opportunity of eating bread
made of Maine flour ground in Maine
mill from Maine raised wheat. The
increased wheat acreage in Maine this
year has been simply astonishing. And
there is a big demand for all the flour
that can be ground from all the wheat
raised in Maine this year. It is esti-
mated that in rural Maine every year
there is consumed about 10000 bar
rels of -four, which has been shipped
into the state from the West. The
saving of cars for transportation for
other commodities is therefore a very
large one if the flour used could be
raised and ground in Maine. Brewer,
for Instance, has an up-to-date flour
mill which is turning out 40 barrels
of flour in "a hours. The mill, up to
q year ago, was a sawmill. The wheat
storage capacity is 5000 bushels

In the immediate vicinity of Minot,
we are still looking for rain. The
crops do not appear to be in SER
ious condition yet, in fact they are
looking remarkably good considering
tina we have had no rain since the mid
die Of May. But we will need rain
very badly, should none fall within
the coming week. Wheat on summer
following and on well plowed fields
looks the best. That which was disced
in will be light crop. The rye crop
will be very light, few fields looking
like they will make more than five
bushels to the acre. The late sown
barley, oats, ETC., will do nothing till
after a rain and the fax which has
been seeded is living dormant, wait
ing for little moisture to give it, a
start A good many farmers who
have prepared ground for flax are
holding up the seeding, to determine
whether it will pay to put it in the
ground. In the meantime, the gen
eral topic Of conversation is the desire
for rain.

Less Cement Produced.

Statistics of the cement industry in
the United States in 1917, prepared by
the United States geological survey
indicate that the total shipments Of
Portland cement FROM the mills
amounted to 90,7O3,474 barrels, valued
in bulk mt the mills at $1z2,745, 0SS.
This represents decrease in quantity
Of Al per cent and an increase in val
ue of 17.5 per cent compared with 1916.
The production Of Portland cement in
1917 was 92,S14,292 barrels, compared
with 81 ,521, 1913 barrels In 1916, an in

WHEN WOMEN TAKE CHARGE
Bit % Ancient Chinese History That 10
Decidedly Interesting Coming
Just at This Time.

In the World Outlook Welthy B..
Honslnger gave this entertaining bit
Of ancient Chinese history. 1t only
goes to prove, once again, that there
Is nothing new under the SUM-"
In olden times, when, as Barrie tells
us, "the world was so young that
pieces of the original eggshell still ad-
hered to It," long before the Tai Pings
or long-haired rebels ravaged this part
Of China the two provinces Of kinngsi
and Fulden were quarreling. The men
went out to fight and left the women
at home, even as we do today. The
women did not know anything about
planting crops or pudding rice fields.
At first they just let things slide,
hoping the men would soon return.
But the feuds grew fiercer and more
men were called out. The fighting
reached the Kan and Hsia kiang.
Finally all the strong men disappeared
from their ancestral halls. In the swift
years that followed the women found,
to their surprise, that they could make
the lriCe shops prosper. More junks
were sailing up the river than in for
mer days and clean little houses lined
the shore for long distances.
But although everything was going
beautifully and the women were max
ing more money than they ever had be-
fore, the feeling gradually grew that
no town could be complete without
husbands.
A vote was accordingly taken and
the majority decided that husbands
should be imported.
Enter husbands from neighboring
clan. The women having conceived
the scheme, worked it out logically,
Husbands were soon given to under
stand that they were husbands only,
and imported at that.
1--WE shall still be managers of our
lands and rice shops. We will run this
town and see that no harm befalls the
province. You are to look after the
children" SO the dictum ran and the
men subsidized into mere men and be-
came useful to the community.
SO the women managed with high
hand in Hsia kiang, just as our men
did In the Flint age. And the women
in Hsia kiang have kept on managing
just as our men liked to manage
man-made world even to the present
day.

Anthentic information has heen

Authentic information has been re-
ceived from sources that cannot be dis
puted concerning the treatment OF the
Jews in Poland by the Polish people,
who have recently been freed them
selves. 1t would seem that a nation
that has itself been subjected to Ill
treatment for ages would accord to
other peoples the same treatment that
they themselves desire, but not so in
the case of Poland The treatment
that the Jewish people have received
of late at the hands of the Poles will
be looked upon with the greatest
shame by the free people of the world
for ages to come. Thousands of the
Jewish people have been murdered,
flogged and prosecuted in every con-
ceivable way by the Polish people
without any excuse whatsoever. For
a manufactured reason, they claim
that the Jews are Bolshevists, whereas
they are entirely the opposite In
scores of Polish cities, where pogroms
have been instituted against the jew
ish people, their women have been vio-
lated in as horrible a manner as the
Huns violated the defenseless women
of Belgium. Men have been shut in
synagogues and burned to death. Pol
ish troops have guarded the streets of
Jewish quarters and when the poor
people have been driven from their
homes, have trained machine guns on
them Jews jumping from burning
buildings, have landed on the bayonets
of Polish soldiers. Their homes have
been burned. their business houses
ransacked and their goods and money
stolen. Shame on the Poles.

auditor this week. Notice must be filed

the land anyway. but if notice is not

Altho Minot has always been known
as the trade center for the northwest
ern part of North Dakota, few people
realize Just how much business our
merchants get from the surrounding
towns AS an example, one Minot
businessman took the trouble to look
over the checks he received for goods
sold last Saturday and was surprised
to learn that he had received checks
on banks located in thirty surrounding
towns during that one day. It's the
business we receive from the vast ter
ritory tributary to Minot that makes
this the metropolitan city of the
Northwest.
