teur Truth Is an abortion of scientific
intrigue calculated to put the bug on

1t Is true. however, that a compass
needle Is Of weak and vacillating char
acter. Let so much as a bally hunk Of
low-caste iron approach the pinnacle
bowl and our high-priced guide be-
comes creature of decidedly easy vir-

and narrow north-south line and sub

metal.
Deviation is the name OF the needles

points out OF true. Though magnets
are arranged about II to compensate
for action Of surrounding metal, there

deviation.
vitality important to a skipper Is II
to know the amount of error. Also
must he be familiar with what nearby
beams and braces cause most of IL.
For instance one Of the Canadian
patrols-so the tale goes-had a wood
en- cargo boom secured just forward
Of her bridge. The heel fitting on the
boom was of steel. So near the steer

Perhaps II was youth, or maybe OPP

that he was bound up to Sydney, his
home port. Or II may even have been
that he was going to see his wife.
Some sailors are that way.
At any rate he kept on In spite Of
rain and fog and snow and sleet. No
moon. nor sun. nor stars to guide him.
His dead reckoning had to do.
He crawled into "hole In the WALL"
which harbor Is like In thick wealth

ashore.
Somehow the dock looked unfamil-
lar. The street beyond curved the
wrong way. Certainly there was some
thing queer about the lights.
Suddenly he encountered woman.
II was his wife. But why should she
have her new suit on as he discerned
by the glow of a shop window.
"what are you doing heref" she ex-
claimed.
"Going home, of course"
She led him into a strange house
and said strange things to strange
people. His head whiried. He tried
to remember IL he had had more than
one glass of grog at the landing.
Ten minutes he sat In a kind Of
trance. Then someone mentioned st.
Johns. He leaped to his feet. "The
boom-the compass deviationl" he
cried. TITS Newfoundland I've hit"
They thought him crazy. but In fact
II was his compass that had gone
looney. He had missed Sydney by just
three hundred miles!

ENEMIES OF POULTRY FLOCK
Watch Dog Affords Much Protection
from Hawks--steel Traps
VIII Snare Some.

A good watch dog that will run ut
hawks which swoop near the ground is
great protection to the poultry. Steel
traps on poles will snare some of them.
Hanging a dead hawk to a pole on the
range will also help to keep them
away. One poultryman reports hang
ing some bits of bright tin to a pole
Of the range. The flashing of the sun
against the tin seemed to keep the
hawks away from the range.

 Senator William E. Borah, Republi- can, of Idaho, one of the leaders of the Senate fight against the Versail- les treaty framed by Presidnt Wi,- son, was the only member of the com mittee voting against the report.
 With the treaties cleared of the for eign relations committee, administra- tion forces are now ready to place them upon the senate calendar for early ratification. Success of the admlnis- tration in securing ratification is con- ceded, and their signature by the president will make them effective.
 Treaties framed with the former Central Empires are almost identical in content an dexpressly stipulate that all rights and advantages accruing to the United States under the Yer sailles treaty shall be retained. al- though the senate rejected this pact.

ARMED MOB 0F "ANT|-D|PPFRS"
 DFf|[D BY RICE

After having stood his ground and refused to leave a cattle dipping vat at Chadwick, Pierce Creek township, after being warned by crowd of about 100 men, many of whom were armed, to return to Conway yester- day, Dr. Allen w. Rice, supervisor of tick eradication work in this county, left for Chadwick again at o'clock this morning, where he had ordered the cattle owners to appear and have their cattle sprayed. Chadwick is not accessible over the telephone and no report from that place had been receiv- ed here up to o'clock this after noon.
 Yesterdays occurrence at Chadwick was the continuation of a series of dynamiting dipping vats in that sec tion of the county, which began last Saturday night and continued until total of seven vats had been blown up. Officers had suppressed reports of the dynamiting in the hope of ap- pretending those guilty of the out rages. It is stated that four men rode from one vat to another in an automobile Saturday night, blowing up each vat. Some of their work, 1t is claimed, was done in broad day. light.
 R. J. Steele, living three miles south of Conway, inspector in charge of the Chadwick vat, was forced to leave soon after his arrival yesterday morning, it is stated. Dr. Rice, who had been informed of the opposition to cattle dipping at that point, ar rived shortly after Steele had left Upon his arrival he was met by about 100 men, many of whom carried shot, guns or other weapons. He was told to get in his car and leave immediate ly, one of the men going in front of his ear and cranking it.
 Dr. Rice told the mob that he was unarmed but that he intended to stay at the vat. The crowd continued to demand that he leave, but offered no physical violence toward him. He re- mained there until some members of the mob became restless and began tt drift away. Finally, after most of them had left, Dr. Rice returned to Conway, after notifying those present that he would be back again today and expected them to have their cattle there to be sprayed, it being inn possible to dip the animals on account of the vat having been blown up.
 News of the fight against cattle dipping was received here with much surprise last night. pr. Rice and his assistants are completing the work of tick eradication in this county, which has practically been performed ex- cept in the southeastern portion, where there is no stock law and where yesterdays uprising occurred. So far this year there has been little opel, opposition to the dipping program.

 The local market continued high, despite today's drop in futures, and P cents was again the prevailing price for middling cotton. H. p. Mer- ritt, who is now buying cotton inde- pendently at various points in the state, returned today after an absence of several days, said that Conway is paying the highest prices for cotton of any city in the state except one. England, Lonoke county. He said the kind of cotton that was selling here at P to p IA cents was bringing only IS to IS IA cents at many other places.

Miss Hazel Spencer Of the Home
Demonstration department of the
Agricultural College was here two
days, Thursday and Friday, of last
week putting on poultry culling DEM
onstrations under the auspices Of the
Ward Co. Farm Bureau.
Owing to very limited amount of
time only three demonstrations were
held. One at the VIM. Wedding
farm, one at the j. H. Cover farm
and one at E. A. Madson's Of Bur-
lington. Miss Spencer said that she
handled around $500 hens last year
and culled out about 1000 of them
as being worthless for anything but
meat. She said the average farm
focks would as rule Gull out about
one-third. She also gave some valu-
able advice in regard to feeding for
egg production, common poultry
diseases, and proper housing.
The meetings were very we'll at
tended and all who were in attend
ance showed splendid amount of
interest in the work and expressed a
feeling of confidence in themselves
in being able. to Gull their own flocks.
Martin Jacobson expressed the feel
ing of most of us when he said that
what he learned would be cheap at
$25.

MlN0T men ON CROP SURVEY:
ENCOUNTER TORNADO; HAIL

E. A. Shirley, local grocer and C. d.
See of the Minot Sash & Door Co.,
have been making a crop survey Of
the northwestern section of the state.
Mr.. Shirley returned Sunday and Mr..
See, in company with Mrs. See, who
joined her husband last Sunday, at
Wolf Point, is continuing the trip
with her husband. They are expect
ed back Saturday. Messrs. Shirley
and See took the "TR" trail to Berth
old and drove thru to Kenmare. From
there they proceeded west thru Crosby
and Ambrose to Grenora, arriving at
the latter point just as a tornado
struck that place on Tuesday of last.
week. Immense barns and farm
buildings strewed the path of the
storm and the hail which followed de-
stroyed the crops completely. No loss
of life is reported. This storm COW
cred an area of perhaps six miles wide
and twenty long. From Grenora they
plowed their way thru mud to Will
liston, going thru the Bonetrail dis
trict. Everywhere from Berthold
they had found splendid crops. AL
though many districts showed dam
age from hail it was estimated by
competent observers that the loss
would be but per cent. From Will
liston they proceeded to Culbertson,
Plentywood, Colby, and Medicine Lake
Montana, finding the crops in Montana
even better than on the Dakota side
of the line. Their itinerary led them
on to Opheim, Glentana and Glasgow,
the crops all along being wonderful.
At Glasgow they met Fred Ernst,
former Minot business man in charge
Of the Glasgow Flour Mill Co. Mr..
Ernst likes Glasgow and is elated over
the prospects for a splendid fall bust
ness. Coming east from Glasgow
they reached Wolf Point, contestins
every foot of the way with the Mon
tana gumbo, a variety of mud that
has qualities surprising LePage's
glue. Here Mr.. Shirley was obliged
to return home on urgent business
and Mrs. See joined her husband. The
Sees turned south from Wolf Point
intending to cover the Richey dis
trict after which they will cover Nc
kenzie county before returning home.
