CANADA CLAIMS SUPREMACY

Canadian cooperators are wonder
ing if the states south of the border
are as progressive as they are reput-
ed to be. Despite the remarkable
growth of cooperation in this country
during and since the war the 4O,809
cooperative societies in Canada sur
pass by nearly 40 per cent the number
Of cooperatives in the United States.
Moreover, the Canadian societies hold
the record for increase in business
during the past year, which exceeds
by more than so per cent the sales
of the preceding twelve months. In
Quebec alone there are 176 local CO.
operative societies, with a member
ship of 5000 assets of $4,000, 100000
and an annual business of more than
$50, 100000.

CAR BADLY SMASHED

~ 4 ( 1Eg ak
2. D. johnson and S. E. Alander Of
Minot met with an automobile acci-
dent on the state road just east Of the
city Tuesday night in which the car
was badly smashed, but luckily the
occupants escaped without being In
jured. It appears that the car was
coming to Bottineau and tried to pass
another car in the second coulee but
in doing SO hit the south fence near
the bridge. The car plowed along the
fence, tearing out posts and breaking
the railing until it broke through and
fell over on it's side against the bank.
The car was an Oldsmobile, six oyl-
inder, and the top, windshield, frame,
tenders, etc. are badly smashed. The
other car was driven by Miss Fisher,
of the Forestry Normal school.

Special Correspondence, Grand
Forks, June 7th-Anticipatinp the
largest number Of agricultural exhib-
its and livestock entries in the his
tory of the North Dakota State Fair.
Secretary E. r. Montgomery is maxi
ing may improvements and additions
in the buildings at the fair grounds.
A new hog barn, representing the
latest in model construction, and a
new dairy cattle building, equally well
constructed, will greet the visitors this
year, and from all indications at the
present time, the entries will take on
the character of an over-flowinp
meeting.
The grand stand and bleechers have
been increased by a $500 seating ca
pacity in order to accommodate all of
the visitors and patrons this season.
Many exhibitors and visitors have al
ready written to Mr.. Montgomery ask
ing for hotel and room reservation at
Gand Forks from July 18 to 23 and
M. Montgomery announces that at
least 1850 persons will pass thru
the gates Of the North Dakota State
Fair during the week.
To the lovers Of horse racing and
horsemanship Mr. Montgomery an
nounces that he has secured some ex-
cellent entries. Two 100000 classes
have been scheduled with Is entries
for each class and the patrons of the
State Fair will be assured some real
entertainment along this line.
In special appeal to the County
Agricultural Agents and County Farm
Bureaus this week Mr.. Montgomery
is pointing out the advantages that
may be obtained from visiting the
State Fair and in exhibiting agricul-
tural and livestock products. As
State institution the North Dakota
State Fair is doing it's part to develop
and promote the agriculture of the
commonwealth. The greater the num-
Der of persons who can come to the
Fair and who can bring their products
either for exhibition or competition,
the greater the success of the Fair
and the greater the development OF
the agriculture of the State.
"Come to the State Fair" urges
Secretary Montgomery. Bring your
agricultural products and livestock
with you. Compete with you neigh
bors. Learn why some products and
exhibits excel. Examine and study
the farm machinery that you will see
there. Compare the cattle. Score the
hogs and sheep. Make State Fair
Week q great educational and recre-
ational week. Meet your friends here.
Talk your problems over. The State
Fair is great common meeting
ground for the problems of the State.
Come to the State Fair"

PRICES OF FARM CROPS
BELOW PRE-WAR PRICES

The prices of six of the important
crops on May | Of this year were be-
low the prewar average prices for
that date. according. to figures collect;
ed by the Bureau Of Crop Estimates,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. These crops are corn, oats, bar
ley, flax, potatoes and cotton. The re-
port showed that the prices Of the
three grains, wheat, rye and buck
wheat were above the prewar aver
age prices. During April the average
price Of wheat declined from $3.50
to $1.23 per bushel. The report shows
that in general the industrial crops,
such as flax, cotton, and broom corn,
are the most depressed in price and
that food crops, such as rye, wheat,
potatoes and apples, show relatively
less decline. .,$
The prices in various parts Of the
country vary, with South Dakota be-
ing the center Of the low-price dis
trict, the May report shows. The av-
erage price Of wheat in that State
was ~ CStlIS pSI UUO1AOlS SAlA Ia SVAAAS

Corn was selling at an average price
Of 80 cents yer bushel in South Da-
kota, while ihe average price for the
United States was nearly 6Oc. The

in South Dakota, the average for the

report showed a big decline in the
price Of old potatoes, especially in
Michigan, where the average was 20
cents bushel, which was 20 cents
below the average for the United
States. '.-. l.
The above is from the news bulle-
tin (5-3O-21) Of the Federal depart

BASEBALL RESULTS
THE PAST week

Thursday night, June 9th, at the
Fair Grounds the Bottineau baseball
team lost a very uninteresting game
to Rugby, the score being 18 tos2. It
just seemed as though the locals could
not get themselves together and the
Rugby~boys played good ball through
out the game.
Friday evening the locals crossed
bats with Willow City on the local
diamond and won with score Of II
to 5. Bud Lizotte was on the firing
ling for the visitors while Nordin and
Williams officiated for the locals.
Sunday the local team and large
crowd Of boosters went to Rugby to
again try their team against the fast
Rugby boys. This game the locals won
with score of 8 to and redeemed
themselves for the 18 to 2 defeat here
on Thursday. Robinson and Ferguson
did the battery work for Bottineau,
while Erickson, Katina and Brandt
officiated for Rugby. Robinson
pitched very good ball throughout the
game and let the Rugby boys down
with 6 hits.

KEARNS IRRITATED
BY LEGION'S ACTION
Dempsey's Manager Criticises
Welcome by Soldiers to
Frenchman.
by CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

Special Despatch to TIE NEW YORK HERALD
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. May 12.-This
seashore resort was subjected to two
terrific storms to-day. Jupiter Pluvius
was responsible for one Of the outbreaks,
wind and rain sweeping the beach. driv-
ing everybody to cover, and restricting
all concerned to indoor sports.
The downpour was so heavy and
steady that the day was ruined so far
as outdoor amusement was concerned.
The crowds that were accustomed to
follow Dempsey as he emerged from his
quarters at the Hotel AIamac were not
in evidence and the champions road
work was confined TO the hotel corri-
doris.
The other storm was provided by Jack
Kearns. manager of Dempsey, who ar
rived here to-day after attending court
in Batavia, n. Y, for several days in
defence of suit brought by Frank +.
Spellman against Dempsey for 800, 900.
claimed as Spellman's share in a mo-
ton picture enterprise The jury dis
agreed which amounts TO a verdict of
draw.
kearns was not worried about the
Spellman suit. but he was aggrieved
over the publication of the action Of
Atlantic City Post of the American
Legion in adopting a resolution TO send
committee to welcome Carpenter
when the Frenchman arrives in this
country.
The further determination on the part
of the legion to invite Carpenter to
train at Atlantic City also aroused the
ire of Kearns, who made a set speech
censuring the publication of such mat
tiers. Mr.. Kearns was not any too
pleased because Mayor Bader had been
subjected TO criticism for his attentions
to the champion, and expressed himself
In emphatic language.
1t was explained to kearns that the
subjects referred to were subjects of
legitimate news, and that his remedy
lay in a protest to the legion, and 10
those who had criticised the Mayor.
After thinking the matter over, Kearus
calmed down at about the same time
the raging elements subsided.
When questioned as to the pl 5 fol
| Dempsey's training. Kearns said there
would be no active work on the part
of the champion for a week or ten days
and that he had not mad time to gather
staff OF sparring partners.
Dempsey was again honored by the
Mayor. who, with Joseph A. McNamee
City Clerk, piloted the champion to the
Atlantic City Hospital, an institution
supported largely by city appropriations
and spent an hour there shaking hands
with the patients. 1t was Florence
Nightingale day, and Dempsey was the
guest of the board Of governors.
When Dempsey left the hospital he
motored to the Atlantic City Country
Club at Mortified. where hte kiwani:
Club held an outing. The rain stopped
( .nrla grN ha h4e t.a1N eru,s 4r

Samuel p. Leeds, president OF the
Chamber Of Commerce, was asked TO.
dag II Dempsey would be requested (
address the Chamber Not so you coult
notice It," was the reply. Mr. Lced
is a Quaker. and therefore does not talk
any feverish interest in pugilism.

His Tenth Home Run and
Triple in Ninth Beat
Detroit, IL to 10.

DETROIT May 12.-With the great
Bambino swinging his lethal mace to
terrible advantage, the Yankees came
from behind and scored a ninth inning

The count, when all the returns We're In

runs. including the tieing and winning
markers, were scored or driven In by
the Babe. Incidentally. Ruth poled out
his tenth home run of the season, a
smash that cleared the score board in
left with Roger Peckinpaugh on base in
the first inning.
From the time Peckinpa1gh made HIS
single in the first until the Babe un-
corked the triple that decided ths game
in the ninth, the game was = slugfest
pure and simple in which the Yankees
used five pitchers and the Tigers three.
Three of the Yankee heavers-Tom
Sheehan, Rip Collins and Jack Quinn
were hammered off the mound. and all
of the Tigers fingers were plastered with
profusion. Carl Mays was called In to
pitch the final inning and started a
double play which offset an error by
Baker, which might have proved a costly
one.
A deal of lusty hitting was crowded
into the opening inning. both sides join

for total of fifteen bases and yielded
