quest held over the remains OF FOR
rest Ratliff, aged 20 years, who was
crushed tt death Friday afternoon
between two coaches, which were be-
ing switched In the Great Northern
yards.

railway company, and for the past
number Of weeks had been laid of on
account of scarcity of work He re-
turned to work Friday as switchman

tween two cars to uncouple them. and

MANY WILL NOT
BUY COAL JUST NOW

How can a man stock up with coal
when his cellar is already stocked
with something else? That is the
question several residents ask when
urged to buy their coal for delivery
nov.
Secondly and furthermore: How
a a nan pay for coal, even if he
could store it, this soon after that
historic date, July 1? 4
Coal dealers ponder and scratch
their domes on this situation and
they reach no solution.
1t is always a tough proposition to
sell coal in July and this summer the
occupation seems about as popular as
selling sport shirts to the Eskimo.
Coal dealers declare that only a few
regularly foresighted customers are
purchasing their winter supply Of coal
now. Consumers are apparently
waiting until fall before placing their
orders, retailers state.
The dealers urge that everyone
who can do so, should put in coal at
once and avoid the inevitable rush in
the autumn. Z IL

preme court sustains Cole. and in. the
opinion Of the court, written by JUS

good and 1t would have done the de-
PENDANTS a great and manifest in

The plaintiffs alleged that, they
were not let in on the Reorganization
of the Fargo Mercantile Co., although
they were among the original stock
holders in the. corporation, and that

Hopper Poison Now
Available AT Gilby

County farmers can now secure
poisoned bran for the determination
Of grasshoppers. according to Rex E.
Willard, county agent. who has mixed
a ton of the poison at Gilby. The
compound can be secured by applica-
ton at the Bank of Gilby.
This poison is furnished by the
county free of charge and the farmer
is urged to make every effort to kill
the hoppers so that there will be no
serious losses from them e a
Many of the men who farm on a
large scale seem to think it is not
necessary to apply the poison even
though considerable damage has been
caused by the pest, according to Mr..
Willard, who declares that the poison
is the best possible insurance against
ravages next year
The poison should be applied this
year as eggs will be layed by the hop
pers now in the county and If some
thing is not lone at once the prospects
are that there will be a bumper crop
of the pests another year.

MOTORISTS REPORT
SKIDMORE AVENUE
ROAD FAIRLY GOOD

Skidmore avenue, the main road to
the fair grounds. is in fairly good
condition following the rain. and mo-
florists report little trouble in driving
out to the grounds. Some who do not
wish to use Skidmore have motored
out University avenue and turned
north, striking in past the fair
grounds and entering by the west
gate.
Owing to the continuous travel on
Skidmore during and after yester-
days rain the road was in bad con-
dition and many care skidded to the
ditch where they remained for the
night or were dragged out. The road,
however. has dried considerably dur
ing the day and travel will not be
difficult this evening. -

eral teams at work on the roads early
this morning and everything possible
has been done to put them in condi-
ton for automobiles for tho East day

KILLED BEFORE AUG.
SAYS LOCKWOOD

Special Field Agent S. Lockwoodsof
Fargo, in charge of the North Dakota
grasshopper control work, who was in
the city a few days ago, has just re-
turned from a our Of the Rugby dis
trict, and reports that a fine rain
which fell there yesterday, will do
much toward helping out the crop sit
uation there. Heavy rains fell around
Devils Lake, also he said. and the
farther west. the lighter the fall.
The farmers in Pierce county, where
Mr.. Lockwood was visiting, have been
doing fine work with the ~grasshop-
pers, he said. and much of the danger
from them has been averted, due to
persistent treatment of the fields. In
all counties, where farmers have
taken the necessary precautions, the
grasshoppers ire being exterminated.
The hoppers must be destroyed before
the time for laying their eggs. Mr.
Lockwood said. which is about the
middle of, August. or the coming year
will find the fields more infested than
this veal
Mr.. Lockwood is leaving Grand
Forks tonight, and will continue his
tour through the state in the interest
of his department.
