county are filing claims for hail in
surance following Tuesday nights hail
storm. In some instances a total los

claims the loss was estimated at one

from Baldwin through Sterling and

hail fell which measured nine inches
in circumference. Several farmers re-
ported that their windows were broken
by the falling ice, and it is said that
in one place in the hail area an auto
mobile was unable to proceed for over
thirty minutes.

bis farm ten miles north Of Bismarck,
in Morton township. hail damaged his

some localities where the grasshoDpers
end drouth had reduced the yield ma
terially, the hail insurance may bring
i'll better returns than the crop would
if harvested.

dian School Raises Won
derful White Flint

O. Padgett, superintendent Of the
Bismarck Indian school, comes from
the Illinois corn belt He is convinced
that his native state has nothing on
the Missouri valley when it comes to
corn. In proof Of his assertion he
produces white flint corn, fully filled
out, and with ears two feet and more
IN length, which was grown on All ex-
detrimental plat of five acres by Indian
students at the school. 1t is the sec

corn in this latitude. 1t was first
grown last year at Fort Yates. the
Sioux reservation agency on Standing
Rock, by Major J. B. Kitch, the super
intendent. There it ran 4s bushels to

patch will do even better. Finer spec1-

;EEKING TO CURB NELSON

The neat plan of the Rev. George A..
Totten to make the state board of ad-
ministration, which is to operate the
common schools, insane asylums, pen
itentiaries, university and colleges
and other public institutions of North
Dakota, a close corporation controlled
by himself and Robert Muir and Pat
Casey, the appointive members of this
body, fell by the wayside yesterday
when Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor John N. Hagan and Miss Min
ME J. Nelson, state superintendent Of
public instruction, flatly put their foot
down on the proposal.
The Totten scheme was presented
at the opening of the board Of ad-
ministration meeting scheduled for
Wednesday. The Bowman divine had
his resolution neatly typed and ready
to 60 into the minutes. 1t was to the
effect that hereafter the presence of
Mr.. .Hagant and Miss Nelson would be
required only at stated meetings OF
the board, and that in it's ordinary
business sessions the board would dis.
pense with the presence of these ex-
office members.
Both Hagan and Miss NELSON pro-
tested strongly against being legis'
lated from the board of administra-
:tion, and, while the resolution was
read into the minutes of the session,
Muir. Totten and Casey presumably
having voted for it, it is understood
that it was later expunged.
Educational Commission.
The educational commission, a Neil
C. Macdonald board named, it is
claimed, with the evident intention of
depriving Miss Nelson of all power
and authority as state superintend'

Held BY Spectators.
'Thd fact that stocks of many i'm
portant foods were much larger on
June l this year than on same date
last year," said the commissions
statement" while prices were as high
or higher apparently mean that they
are being withheld speculatively for
a world demand which is not now here
but which it is expected that hunger
impelled strikers secure higher wages
with which higher food prices can be
paid" .....a
Normal Law Not Working.
To sho wthat the ''law Of supply
and demand is not working" the COM
mission listed eight staple foods which
on June showed an increase in stock
withheld from the market, ranging
from three to 29S per cent over stocks
on June l, 1918, and in each instance
there was shown to have been a SUBJ
stantial advance on wholesale prices

president Of Swift & Co., referring to
the announcement Of Attorney General
Palmer regarding the packers, said: II
would welcome the opportunity to
plead our case before any impartial
body of men, which has so far been
denied us. The public has been fed
up on a lot of baseless accusations and
we have been made the innocent vic
TINS of economic conditions beyond
anybody's control. The increase in the
cost Of meats has been no greater than
in most other lines and our profits
have been reasonable.
II know that this suit will prove
what we have contended all along
namely, that there is absolutely nc
combination or monopoly and that the
profit Of the packer is only fraction
of cent pound, and therefore has
practically no effect on prices paid fol
live stock or received from the sale OF
meats" ... .
