Play for Local
Title in June
New York Women Schedule
Championship Tourney at
Greenwich Week of 18th
By Ray Mccarthy

The women's executive committee Of
the Metropolitan Golf Association an
nounced last night the dates of their
championship tournament. The title
even will be held the week of June IA
over the links Of the Greenwich Coun-
try Club, at Greenwich. Conn.
The women have been holding the
announcement of the dates in reserve
for some time, due to the desire to
avoid conflict with the Connecticut
association championship tournament.
However, it is quite likely that this
meeting will be held at Bridgeport, and
will in no way interfere with the
Metropolitan meet.
One of the features of this seasons
play will be the various matches be-
tween teams representing New Jersey,
Westchester and Long Island. The
dates of these matches have been
scheduled as follows:
May IL, Long Island at New Jersey;
May 10, Westchester at Long Island; !;
May 26, New Jersey at Westchester.
The clubs at which these meetings will
be held will be announced later.
Team captains for each of these rep
reservations have been appointed, as
follows: Westchester, Mrs. Charles
Russell, Ardsley Club New Jersey, Mrs.
f. C. Koempel, Greenwich Country
Club; Long Island, Mrs. J. E. Davis,
Piping Rock
There are to be at least ten one-day
tournaments between the women play
ers of the Metropolitan association,
and in the team matches each side will
have fifteen players.
President E. P. Holden Of the New
Jersey State Golf Association yester-
day appointed the following officers and
members of the executive committee
for the ensuing year: Secretary-treas-
urer, c. P. Eddy. Arcola Club; chair
man of tournament committee, W. D.

fessional of the st. Louis Country Club,

HOW TO RID FLOCK OF FLEAs

Additional Editorial

North Dakota may not have profited
so much industrially by reason OF the
excessive wages, but now that wages
are on a downward trend, we will not
feel the situation so keenly as will
the industrial centers. The papers
are full of dispatches concerning the
reduction in wages and the laying off
Of thousands of workers. The Calu-
met and Hacla Mining Co., of Calu-
met, Mich, has reduced wages Is per
cent and has paid off 1900 of its $500
employees. Large automobile factor
les have caught up with the demand
and thousands of men are out of jobs.
The workers in textile mill in North
Carolina voted to reduce their own
wages on an average dollar day.
Lower wages must necessarily follow
a reduction in the cost of living. A
great adjustment is now in progress
thruout the United States, Merchants
everywhere are throwing their, stocks
on the market at a great reduction,
preferring to take loss rather than
permit their goods to remain on the
shelves. The price of food stuffs
are coming down. Flour is follow
ing the price of wheat downward.
Wages were the last to be increased,
therefore will be about the last to
come down, yet down they must come
in the program of adjustment. Hun
dreds Of thousands Of men will be out
of employment during the present
winter and there will undoubtedly be
some suffering. The coal situation in
the east is serious. There isn't a
pound of coal in the bins Of the coal
dealers >in Albany, N. Y. and in Buff
falo, N. Y. one cannot get ton OF
coal without doctors certificate. Out
here in North Dakota where we have
plenty of fuel and plenty to eat we
ought to be thankful. We have not
had very good crops for several years,
but we have managed to get along
somehow. Some of us are in debt
head over heels, but we are optimistic
and hopeful and the fellow who shows
that he is deserving usually gets an
other chance. No one suffers for the
want of food and the poorest of us
manage to wear plenty of good warm
clothing. There are but few unemploy-
ed men and there is usually plenty
of work for those who are willing:
North Dakota's broad acres will feed
hundreds of thousands more people If
the soil is given proper attention.
Thousands of North Dakotans who
gave up their farms, attracted to the
great industrial centers by the high
wages, will undoubtedly wish that they
had remained here. To those we would
saw. North Dakota needs you and will
welcome you along with thousands
more from the crowded cities.

In another part Of this paper, APP
pears a record of the tests of four OF
the registered cows at Major E. 5.

west of Minot. For several years,
Lura Bettina, held the state record but
this splendid five-year-old cow now
takes a step backward for Glencoe's
Rose of Maple Hill, four-year-old
cow with a record just completed OF
1878 pounds of butter fat, or 49,
4Os.20 pounds Of milk, for one year:
This is the largest record by far OF
all breeds and for all ages in North
Dakota. The Major may be pardon,
ed if he appears just. a little proud
of the record made by his splendid
cows. There is no way of placing a
positive value on these individuals. 1t
is doubtful if the Major would care
to sell his prize cows at anything less
than fabulous prices, but he does have
high class individuals for sale at all
times and makes shipments to far
away states. The Person Stock Farm
has done much to advertise Minot and
what is better, it has had a valuable
influence on the dairy industry of the
Northwest,

Wheat has continually been going
down and last Friday struck $1.5O per
bushel on the local market, just dol,
lar less than the high price early in
the fall. No one is prepared to say
Just when the decline will stop. The
adjustment appears to be headed for
the pre-war basis Of 1914 for most
every commodity. A good many
farmers are still holding their wheat
trusting that before spring they will
be able to get some where near cost
price out Of it. The farmer has had
much to discourage him and is it little
wonder? Some step must be taken
that will stabilize the prices Of farm
products. The farmer is losing heav-
ily on the downward trend of prices
and curtailed production must follow.
Supply and demand appears to have
very little to do with setting the price
of wheat. Secretary Houston made
talk and wheat dropped 10 cents;
julius Barnes made another talk and
down went wheat another ten cents.

Dispatches in the papers bring the
information that food prices are COM
ing down. In all the Childs restau-
rants which are to be found in all the
leading cities Of vie United States, a
reduction in the price of meals is be-
ing made from 10 to % per cent as
soon as new menu cards can be re-
printed. With potatoes at about one
third the price Of last year, flour, SUI
gar and other staple foods on the to-
boggan there, is no reason why meals
should not come down. If the res
taurant and hotel keepers were asking
good profit at last years prices
and they certainly were then under
the present conditions they are max
ing about double now, and that is not
fair to the public. When foodstuffs
go up there is no delay in sending up
the price Of meals. Now that all kinds
of foodstufls are coming down there
should be a readjpstment in prices.

FEEDING TO FULL CAPACITY

Economical feeding demands that
the cows be fed to full capacity. To
do this and to have the best effect on
the individual COW requires "A thor
Ough knowledge of feeds and n cows.
Under most circumstances the COW
should be fed all the rOughage that
she will eat up clean, adjusting the
grain ration to the milk production

age be restricted.
A grain mixture should he fed in

Assistance for Man Who Lost Effects

Mrs. l.. T. Larson of forming town
ship who is taking an active interest
in getting aid for Martin Johnson,
who lost practically all of his property
in a fire Wednesday morning in Torn

The Red Cross has agreed to furnish
money with which to buy a cow, and
a Minot party has agreed to buy
another COW. The neighbors are con-
+tributing to a fund and will buy Mr..
Johnson a team and harness. He has
a fine family Of seven or eight chill
dren, and the nine COWS that were
burned made the main living for the
family Just now a little substan-
tial help is worth infinitely more than
mere words Of sympathy. Besides

OYSTER SHELLS ARE NEEDED
Lime 10 Essential for Hens to Manu-
facture Eggs-FoWIs viii Bal
ance Own Ration.

Pullets and hens do better for hav-
ing oyster shell as regular part Of
their ration. This was proved by the
New York experiment station some
years ago, when a poultry writer con-
demned the use Of oyster shell as un-
necessary.
1T was proved that pound Of oyster
shell contains enough lime to manu-
facture about seven dozen eggs This
should not be fed in the mash. Fowls
know more about what they need to
eat than we do. If they have the
oyster shell, ground bone, meat scraps
and grit In hoppers before them, with
a variety Of ground grains in dry
mash, they will balance their ration
better than we can balance 1t for
them.

He reports business conditions in the
east none too good. The farmers
have invested in some very high pric-

and paying only 5000 or $500 an acre
down. Corn has dropped to around
20 cents bushel, cattle and hogs are
down and many Of the farmers are apt

ANKOR LARSON MET INSTANT
DEATHINDITMER MINE THIS Am.

Ankor Larson, aged "a years, q
young man living near Velva, met
death in the Ditmer mine in Brillian
township, Ward county, this morning.
With another mine employe, he had
set off blast and later went into the
mine to get out Of coal. He was using
pick when an immense quantity gave
way from above. A chunk weighing
fully 800 pounds struck him, crush
ing his skull and causing his instant
death.
Coroner Pence was called out from
Minot to hold an inquest.
The young man was injured work
ing in coal mine two years ago.
His father is one armed man and
the young man who was killed was
considered the main support of the
family.
