p. P. Grain of Valley City
Named Clerk of Site
Certi6cation Board.

Bismarck. N. D., Aug. 11.-Another
OF the N. c. Macdonald group of sup
porters has been returned to Office by
the state board of administration,
being E. P. Grain, Of Valley City, who
was on Saturday afternoon appointed
to the position Of executive clerk of
the state certificate board. He sue
ceeds j. w. Riley, former superinten-
dent of Cass county schools, an ap-
pointee of Miss Minnie Nelson, sup
erintendent Of instruction.
r. The board of administration is or
gan1zing the educational work on a
basis Of opposition to Miss Nelson.
and it is circumventing the powers of
the superintendent Of instruction at
every possible turn.
In the recent election, the Nonparti-
san league leaders assured the voters
that the board of administration act
would In no manner restrict the
powers Of the superintendent Of public
instruction, but that the law would, as
matter of fact, give her greater au-
thority. Geo. Totten, Sr.. member of
the board, has assured Miss Nelson,
however, that as q matter of fact the
law does limit her powers, and he has
indicated that she will work only
within the limits prescribed by the
board.
The move is part of the fight made
by the Nonpartisan league in behalf
OF N. c. Macdonald, bitter personal
and political enemy of Miss NELSON
by whom he, was defeated in the No
vember, 1918, election for the Office OF
superintendent of public instruction

The border county line when COM

be added to this at the present time is
$111,00O. The failure of crops this
year has hut little dampening effect
upon the optimism of the people of
this section of the state.

DRY LAND FARMING
CONQUERS DROUGHT


Columbus, Mont, Aug. 11.-with
scarcely a drop of water falling this
summer, dry land wheat put in and
farmed according to scientific dry
farming methods throughout this Sec
ton Of the state, is running as high
as Is bushels to the acre and aver
aging about IL. Two exceptionally
large Saltwater county farms have
shown averages of ~ bushels per
acre.
The idea in the real dry farming
system is to crop the land every sec
ond year, keeping dust much on top
and conserving two years. moisture for
each crop. The system has never
been known to fail here, and reports
from regions where ample moisture
falls for a crop each year prove that
the system yielded better returns over
a long period Of time than did the
yearly crop method on a like piece of
land.

Lanes project to link the national
parks with motor highways.
Influence of the conferees was
pledged to the plan, which, if carried
into effect. would join Mt. Rainier,
Crater Lake, Sequoia. Yosemite parks,
the Grand Canyon and all the great
scenic attraction of the west
'"The motor tourist gets in closer
touch with the west than the train
tourist said Mr.. Goodsill.' "The
motorist eats some of the soil. feels II
close at hand, marvels over the
scenery, rejoices with the western
train tourist, on the other hand, goes
through lot of good country in a
sleeping coach. or catches an indif-
ferent glance from the observation

Roy Emery, head of the transporta-
tion systems in the Rocky Mountain

time is past for the west to play one
resort or park against another. A

FIFTH VICTIM
OF PARTY" AT
HANNAHlSDEAD
Wood Alcohol Drinkers
Thought They Had Poi
son Removed.
tspecal to The Herald.)

Hannah, N. D., Aug. 11.-Joe Nor
row, one Of the participants in the
wood alcohol drinking bout staged
here last Sunday night. died Thurs
day--the fifth victim of the tragedy,
which is said to be without precedent
in the history of the country.
Late Saturday coroner's jury, pre-
sided over by Justice of the Jeace
Joseph Power as acting coroner, and
composed Of G. F.. Johnson, w. A.
Bolton and r. O. Miller, held an in
quest. agreeing on a verdict to the ef-
feet that Morrow's death was due to
his drinking wood alcohol.
Censures Dealers.
sternly censured drug dispensers for
being negligent in the handling Of de-
natured spirits, and made an urgent
recommendation that existing laws be
enforced to the letter. especially for
the protection of minors. The jury
expressed the opinion that the pres
ent regulation of the sale Of dena-
tured spirits is insufficient and should
be coniderably changed in order to
reach the root of the evil.
The Investigations carried on dur
ing the week show that the men who
were members of the fatal party
thought they had found a process by
which it was possible to brew a con-
coction which would be freed Of pois-
onous elements. Doctors here and
elsewhere say that no matter what Is
done it is impossible to remove the
poison from wood alcohol.
1t is the general opinion here that
the access to wood alcohol and to
certain patent medicines is too unre-
stricted, and the verdict of the cor
oner's jury is said to represent the
public view.
Those Who Died.
Tom Parker, the host Of the oc-
casion. Tom Burns, John Moriarity
and James Kelsey died during Sunday
night and Monday after imbibing too
freely of the wood alscohol which was
served at little party given by Tom
Parker. Joe Morrow. the fifth to die,
was also in the party, and two other
men, one Of whom has disappeared
from view here, wound up the guest
list.

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 1.-THE fall
ure of Governor Lynn j.. Frazier to

positions created by the last legisla-

Just what has caused the delay is
not known outside of the administra-

advisors of the governor are having
some difficulty in deciding between
Leslie Simpson and E. p. Totten, OF
Dickinson and Bowman, respectively
for the southwest district job, while
the First district job, with Messrs
Richardson of Fargo, and Englert and
Coombs of Valley City as contenders
is said also to be the source Of some
embarrassment.
In the meantime the attorney gen.
eral has given an opinion to the effect
that the salaries of the new judges

and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few

ference how dull, faded, brittle and

your hair, taking one small strand at

established by the present peace con-

there shall be international freedom Of
transit by railroads and waterways,
which is Great Britain's general def
milton of freedom of commerce in
times of peace.
Great Britain will take mandatory
power over the German islands south
of the equator for Australia and over
German Southwest Africa for the

have the mandate over German East
Africa and some parts of Arabia, and
she has particular claims in this re-
