SAVING NORTH DAKOTA'S
WHEAT.

There is a grasShopper outbreak
in North Dakota. Left alone it
would destroy the bumper wheat
crop in the greatest of all spring
wheat growing states. In the old
days practically complete destruc-
ton in the half of the state infest-
ed would have been inevitable. Now
chronological experts of the United
States department of agriculture,
who are working in cooperation
with the state agricultural college,
feel confident that the crop will be
saved. The poisoned bait method is
being applied. The state is spending
$500 900 in the purchase of poison
material. In one county 123 end
gate seeders are being used in
broadcasting the poison. The cam
paign will be in many particulars
a model of grasshopper-control
work, and the North Dakota agri-
cultural college is making motion
pictures of it, which will be avail
able for instruction purposes in
other states whenever grasshopper
outbreaks occur.

INTEREST OVER
NYMpHS RISES
WITH MERCURY
Telephone Calls Pour Into The
Argus as to Location Of the
Bathers' Rendezvous.

Interest in the FIVE beautiful
daughters Of Neptune. about whom
is told the story of an evenin dip
in the cooling waters of Rock river
in all of its bare" facts, continues
to rise with the temperature.
The Argus has been deIuged with
inquiries as to where the comely
maidens gather in their nightly re-
treat from tie prying eyes of the
world to enjoy themselves as they
would have done in the days Of
Mother Eve. Some are merely
curious, others convey a note Of
anger that such "carrying-ons"
should not be tolerated by the au-
thorities. One woman, who said
she represented the campers in the
vicinity of Big island, called in to
ask If something could not be done
to restrain the nymphs. She was
referred to the office of the sheriff.
One person even went as far as
to ask The Argus for the names of
the five mermaids. Now it is the
reporters creed never to divulge
the sources of his information.
However, there is one minister of
the gospel in Rock Island, pastor
of one of the city's prominent
churches, who claims to know the
names of two of the advocates of
swimming without even the one
piece suit He dropped into the
Office this a. N. to spill the news
that two girl members of his con-
gregation had confided to him that
they would certainly have donned
three-piece suits if they had not
felt safe in the secluded nook of
the river bank.
Jnst Three Left.
So there you are, folks. Two
have quit and that leaves three.
Maybe all this notoriety will cause
the others to refrain from their
evening additions. Still the mer-
curry has risen far past the point of
discretion and-well, what's the
use of wearing bathing suit any
way.

OLD PRINCIPLE

Organization.

Nothing definite toward settle
ment of the telephone situation
came of a conference held this
morning between the opposed fac
lions.
Two committees from the two
sections of organized labor repre-
scented in the strike-the linemen's
committee composed of four mem
bers headed by James Kennedy,
and the operators committee of
four headed by Miss Rose Kinney
Met with three officials of the Cen

The company's representatives
were Thomas S. Brown and Irving
o. Schultze of the Rock Island
branch, and C. H. Rottger, general
manager from Springfield
Only As individuals.
In reply to the requests of -
committees that their terms ae
considered, the company's commit
tee informed them that no discus
sion of the matter or no PROPOSE
ton would be presented by the tel
ephone company as long as the
strikers asked consideration of an
organization in the national labor
federation. The strikers expressed
their willingness to arbitrate any
side or portion of the situation,
their demands, or the company's
position. They were met with firm
refusal and told that such would
continue to be the case until they
presented themselves as employees
of the company instead of as an or
ganiZation of Iaborers.

ROUTE.

Through the efforts OF the home
demonstration agent in Tioga
county, n. Y, fireIess cookers are
becoming popular and are proving
valuable additions to many nonIss
IN the preparation Of meals during
hot weather. The agent has a very
effective way of demonstrating the
cookers. Before leaving for a
demonstration, she starts a dinner
and places it in the cooker. the
cooker in turn being put in the au-
tomobile in which the trip to rhe
meeting is made. At the demonstra-
ton, the agent discusses the ireIess
cooker and how it can be mace at
home, and then opens the one she
has in her automobile, and demon
strates its possibilities in prac-
teal way by serving dinner of
ham, turnips, onions, parsnips, and
potatoes, cooked enroute to the
meeting.
