ADVANCE STYLES
FOR FALL SEASON
Mrs C Harris Morris Writes STYLE
Letter While Purchasing Stock
In New York.

Mrs Harris Morris, who is in New
York, the wonder city of styles,
this week, buying the fall line OF
ready to wear for Beckett Value
Co., writes The Partisan few notes
of style forecast for the fall and
winter that will be of interest.
Mrs Morris says that "the suits
are stunning in materials of rich,
lustrous duvet-de laine, tenseltone,
velour-de laine, veldyne, as we'll as,
in homespun, plumet, and bolivia.
That the coats are longer, 32 to SO
inches, and the skirts as short as my
lady cares to wear them.
She says that brown, in all shades,
is leading fall color and that Nan
king blue is another popular shade.
That the suits are beautifully
trimmed in sealine, lambskin, Austria
liza o'possum, mutra, and beaver, and
that the top coats are wonderful in
materials Of chameleon, cord velesia
cloth, frost glow-full length coats,
with swell cape collars.
In Mrs Morris opinion, tricotine,
beautifully beaded and embroidered
will lead in dress materials and long
waist effects and three quarter sleev-
es are good. Furthermore, and "best
of al" she says the prices are
Fright" and much more reasonable
than expected.

CATTLE MARKET
FULLY EXPLAINED
County Agent Patrick Goes Into De-
tails That Raisers May Com
prehend Situation.
(By ] A PATRICK

We hear good deal of comment
as to what the farmer is doing about
lower prices of cattle and hogs and
sheep. Most of us are of the opin-
ion that production has been de-
creased, but opinions vary as to how
much. Clay, Robinson & Company
have tabulated the receipts of live
etock at nine principal livestock mar
kets in this country The figures
show the movement of livestock for
Jaly and the first seven months of
1920, with comparisons for the cor
re- ponding periods of 1919. The
cattle receipts for July showed de-
crease Of 26 percent, and for the
fii.t seven months decrease of IL
percent. The calf receipts for July
sh Jwed net decrease of 10 percent,
but for the first seven months there
was an increase of percenV. Hog
receipts deere lsel 13 percent for Ju-
ly and II percent for the first seven
months. Sheep receipts showed a
decrease of 20 percent for July and
8 percent for the first seven months.
Feeder cattle showed a ne. decrease
of II percent for July, ard net
decrease of 20 percent for the first
scVen months
Various interpretations have been
drawn from the above figures. We
are absolutely sure of few things.
We know that fewer livestock are
going to market. The figures show
that there is an increase rather than
a decrease in the number of calves
going to market. This means a ma
terial decrease in our supply of beef,
not only in numbers, but because the
animal is butchered as a calf rather
than as mature animal. This seems
to have had its immediate effect ON
the feeder cattle, because they show
a marked decrease. Men who are
in position to know are predicting a
better price ahead.
No one knows, but it looks ais tho
the above conditions will all work to-
gether for good sale of stocker and
feeder cattle. We are firmly conyin-
ced that the Marketing Associations
sale of stocker and feeder cattle will
be a success in every way. 1t will
be good thing for both the buyer
and the seller. Under present con-
ditions the buyer of feeder or stock
er cattle must ride the country over,
or else go to market and buy his
stocker or feeder cattle. Either of
the methods is expensive. By assemb-
ling our cattle here on one day and
grading them and selling in car lots,
we can sell higher and the buyer can
\. I.-x, L.,
stocker and feeder cattle until sales
day. The date will be announced
soon. This will be the best chance
to sell your stocker and feeder cat
tie.
Still to accommodate the man who
wants to sell and thinks now is the
time to sell, the Marketing Aslocia-
tion will make shipment of cattle,
hogs and sheep on Saturday, August
21st.

BIGGEST FAIR EVER
Racing Stakes Increased $1OO Per
Entry Attract Many Good Hor-
ses To Local Ring.

| However prominent and PROMISING
other department. of the fair Sept.
8, ., 10, II, seem, the racing program
is gradually eclipsing everything else.
With all likelihood this week, of the
$500 stake entries beinr filed. indi.
cations point to the hest races in the
fairs history. This stake pace has
never been filed here before. In
this race the entry fee is high, but
compo.es the purse for which the
race rs made. Some favorite horses
from Brownsville, Tenn, have enter
ed, The other entries are from IL
lnois and Kentucky stables. Secre-
tary John Richardson and H V Som
erville will attend the fair at Fulton,
KY, Friday and Saturday of this
week IN the interest of booking rae
ing entries. In some of the races
there Will be as many as fifteen hor-
ses, and in most, over seven. There
will be the opportunity to see the
best racing blood in this section of
the country.
An added attraction at the fair
for which finel ARRANGEMENTS are be-
ing made this week is large and
interesting display of World War
relics, implements, setc. There will
be shell Scared guns from the battle
helds of Europe; gals masks and ma
chimes; all manner of shells; German
helmets and enemy captu. ed arms;
ally uniforms-many other things
that will interest hundreds of spec
tators. Particularly win people
from the country, who missed the
chance to see war relics on trains
sent through the country for that
purpose, be interetted in this exhib-
it.
Several local merchants, automo-
bile statesmen, ETC., are planning clev-
er advertising booths that will add
to the merchants building. These
always attract good bit of attention
and each year there is sor1ehing new
to enjoy.
The W c T U will have its usual
excellent eating and drinking booth
at the fair. There will also be other
numerous PAGES where it won't break
a person to purchase something de-
lie table to eat or dcliciously cold to
drink. A fair to many would not
be half so enjoyable without the
sandwiches, ice cream, cold drinks,
etc., that feature every fair.
And to cap everything the almanac
man promises favorable weather for
fair week here. SO it will be al "a

Scofield Urges Farmers to Fight the
GrasshOppers

James Scofield has looked into, the
grasshopper situation and urges the
Independent to call the farmers at
tention to the necessity of getting ac-
ton on the young grasshoppers at
once. Mr.. Scofield fears that a great
deal of damage will be done unless the
farmers can take concerted action.
Mr.. Scotield learns that John Pfeiffer
from north of town has a field of
wheat sown on disced soil, one corner
Of which has been ruined by the pests.
Mr.. Yoder of Surrey has field, a part
OF which has been stripped to the
stems by the pests. Other fields
northeast of the city have been dam
aged, the grasshoppers cutting off the
tops OF the plants as tho cattle had
been in the field.
Mr.. Scofield believes that if the
farmers can get action at once and
poison the grasshoppers while they are
yet small, they can save themselves a
vast amount of damage. 1t is up to
everybody to get busy now.

miles southwest Of Grano yesterday,
Where the grasshoppers were at work
along half mile stretch. They had
Matched out along the roadside and
for two rods in the field were 50 num-
erous that had there been more, they
would have been piled one on another.
They had left the field as bare as a
floor as far as they had worked and
there were millions yet along the road
side. Mr.. Bitter suggests that a
deep furrow be plowed Just ahead Of
the grasshoppers which will soon fill
the furrow. Plow another deep fur
row along this one. covering the pests
deep and keep this up, packing the
ground. If thee grasshoppers are
small. Mr.. Bitter believes they will not
be able to get out.

COUNTY CANDIDATES ON NON
PARTISAN BALLOT

Under the provision OF Chapter LIZ
of the 1919 Session laws of North
Dakota, the names of all candidates
for county office will be placed on
a Nonpartisan barot without any
party designation, 1'le same as school
officers and judges. The intention Of
the leg stature was to have the pee
pie vote for the man best qualified
for the office regardless Of party or
ganization to which he may belong
This is very wise provision and the
voters will undoubtedly scrutinize the
candidates carefully and select only
those with the best qualifications
Our county officials are the servant:
of the people. They should be chosen
with the same care that one would
pick out man he would employ fol-
ones own business.
