earlier than usual The New York
Central Lines say the general crops
will be good but that early fruits

some frosts.
In New England, the rains came

Gus deterioration of pasture lands

supply of peaches but few apples.
Corn is normal. Tobacco is normal
but was slow in starting.
There is a reduction of acreage
of cotton and tobacco amounting TO
about thirty percent in the terri
tory of the Atlantic Coast Line,
which is Offset by increases in sweet
potatoes, early fruit and truck
crops. The south is undergoing
an economic change that will, if
continued for a few years, make
her farmers independent, reports
the president of the railroad.
Peaches and watermelons in

build a navy big enough to attack
us or to protect herself against an
attack she fears from us?
If the latter, it is up to US to give
her assurances and guarantees that
her fears are groundless and by the
same token to demand of her as
surances and guarantees that her
Pacific ambitions are not in conflict
with our rights.
Whether or not the British
Japanese treaty is to be renewed is
a question which has a direct, in
fact, vital, bearing on this whole
subject of Pacific policy and naval
limitations.
We have a right to know to what
extent the proposed renewal of this
treaty is directed against US and
the broad basis which the president
has outlined for the conference is
notice to both Great Britain and
Japan that if they enter it, America
viii be satisfied with nothing less
than that they lay all their cards
face up on the table.

Jack Taylor arrived in Casper his
morning from Greeley. Colo. where
he wrestled Terro Miyaka to a
draw under the jiu-jitsu rules on
the night OF July 4. Tine match went
only three Commute periods and Tay-
.lor was anxious to continue but the
Jap's manager refused TO let him go

Taylor, IT appeared. wes in no danger
ut any time, hut was likewise unable
to make the Jap quit. The match was
the third in which Taylor has met Mi
yaka and despite his inability to a
him has made an improved showing in
every bout.
The mattel proved immensely popu-
lar among h Greeley fans, accord
ing to reports reaching here.
No announcement has bee made
regarding Taylor's future activities

will do little or n wrestling until
later in the season when he will again

| when Kid Lee knocked him out It
was a f1uke. Lee say he car do the
same thing again. Langford says he
is willing to show for nothing against
Lee IL he is knocked out. This in
sures a vicious battle with Lee trying
TO land his famous right-hand up
setter and Langford battling to even
up an old score.
Eddie Moon has appeared in three
or -four fights in Casper. He has al.
ways interrupted these battles in the
early rounds with a knockout. In the
Saturday night engagement he will
meet Cyclone st. Clair OF OMAN In a
siN-round battle. St. Clair was knocked
out by Lee here this week but against
a fighter OF Moons style he should
make a wonderful showing.
Remember, Mr.. Fan, that every
fight will be &c n decision. The win
ner will he proclaimed a winner II
there is no knockout. Two Judges will
assist the referee in making his de-
cisions.
Also. IL the referee. an officnl to

the fight. II the fam are satisfied
with the bout IL will continue II h

that stalling is going on the fight will
be called of and the battlers will lose
their share n the gate receipts.
There is no need 70 say much about
the George Barnes-Fred Mortensen
wrestling match. which will go 30
minutes or to one fall. Fans who
watched these boys work here before
know tina real action will be seen.
Now these are just the main events
OF The Tribune's sport program. Other
fights of preliminary stuff may be
added to the bill to make it n of the
best of its kind possible. But the main
thing to remember is to he at the
arena Mt 0 O'Clock sharp or miss part
of the fight.
As announced yesterday. The Trib-
une does not intend to enter the fight
promotion game here. but 1t is staging
the benefit fight card Saturday night
to aid the boys who lost money be-
cause the sport carnival during the
Spanish-American War Veterans cell
ebration was not a success.
Tickets for the big fight card will go
on sale in many business houses to-
day. No special effort will be put
forth to attract patronage. for The
Tribune believes that n fight card that
will rank with any that has ever been
staged here will result from the Satur-

who will appear on the bill will go the

possible. Followers of Hayden think
that he should have been awarded a
decision from the first fight st. Clair
takes a different view Of the affair and
insisted that the purse that has been
hung up for Saturday night affair
should be IN n winner-take-all basis.
This wns finally compromised and an

public Of Minot is invited to witness
a Christmas Music Service presented
by the Music Department Of the City
Schools in the High School Auditor
ium. This concert will begin prompt
ly at eight o'clock. There will be no

true spirit of Christmas will be sung
by both grade and high school pupils.
Special instrumental numbers will be
provided, one Of the numbers to be
given by the High School orchestra
which has become a very prominent
organization in both school and COM
munity. It is planned that this pro-
gram shall in certain sense give an
idea Of the work which is being done
in the city schools, and an attendance
which will tax the capacity of the
Auditorium is anticipated.
In the afternoon the program will
be given for the children Of the city
schools only.

Missionary from China Spending Year
in MinOt

Mrs. Clara Distad, widow Of DR.. O..
E. Distad, formerly of Williston, who
met his death from typhus at Slnyang,
Honan, China, in June, arrived in Mi
not recently with her two sons, aged
5 and II and will spend the coming
year with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. A. Prescott. Mrs. Distad is plan
ming on returning to China to resume
her work with the Lutheran United
Mission in which she and her husband
were engaged for about three years.
Mrs. Distad's husband, who was con-
nected with the mission hospital, died
after an illness of eight days and was
buried in Sinyang.
Mrs. Distad likes the Chinese people
but says the Chinese soldiers have
caused a great deal Of trouble. They
become unmanageable because they
seldom receive any pay and then they
loot homes. The Distad home was
once looted after the soldiers had shot
thru the windows and doors, but for
tunately no one was killed. They lost
money, jewelry and other possessions.
When Mrs. Distad left China Oct.
19, she states there were great floods
in that district and on this account
she predicts a greater famine next
year than last.

Partment State Association

Mr.. John f. Howard of the city
schools Music Department, was elect
ed president Of the music section of
the State Teachers Association, which
met at Fargo last week. The reports
from the Music Section show that a
great deal more of interest is being
given throughout the state generally
along music lines. A constructive
program was one of the fine features
of the Music Section. The members
Of the music section were also en-
tertained by the Fargo Music Club at
the home Of Mrs. Cavanaugh, where a
short and excellent program was CIV
en-, by members of this organization.
Light refreshments and social hour
wre also enjoyed by the members.
Another point which Mr.. Howard says
shows an increased interest in music
was the fact that Peter w. Dykema,
a national figure in music, who is con-
nected with the Music Department of
the University of Wisconsin, was on
the program the first day. He con-
Quoted two community sings and gave
some excellent inspirational talks on
music. Lambert Murphy, a New York
tenor, who has achieved a place OF
some distinction musically gave re-
cital for the teachers of the associa-
tion on Tuesday night. This concert
was free to the teachers being paid
for by the business men OF Fargo.
