HOT SUN CHECKS
LIVESTOCK GROWTH

Hot weather, flies and mosquitoes
retard the growth Of farm animals
and lessen milk production. Even tho
such animals may be kept during
Ju,1 and August on good pasture
they do not gain. January and Feb
ruary are also trying months. There
may be plenty of feed then. but often
there is not enough shelter to keep
livestock comfortable.
''The best protection from the
heat" says w. H. Peters, of the ami
NAL husbandry division at University
Farm, "is wooded pasture. There
are many farms in Minnesota, how
ever, upon which no trees are grow
ing in fields best adapted for use as
pastures. On such farms no invest
ment will pay better than construc-
ton of cheap shed that will afford
shade for stock during the heat of
the day. such shed cattle and
horses will collect and the switching
tails will provide protection in large
degree from flies in the day time and
from mosquitoes during the late
evening.
"Cows that are milking heavily, as
well as young calves, either beef or
dairy, will. do best thru the summer
months if they are kept in well
ventilated and darkened barn during
the day time and are turned out to
pasture at night.
"There are, Of course, many prepa-
rations on the market which will
abate the fly nuisance for short
time after being applied. These can
be used on milk cows at milking time
and also on cattle that are being
fitted for show. The effect is tenn
porary, however, and the treatment
Of large groups of cattle or horses
running in pasture is not practicable.
A shaded place, however cheaply it
may be constructed, is the most eff
ficient and economical method of
combating flies and mosquitoes in
pastures Rcking natural shade. Such
a shed also affords protection from
the rays Of the sun and will help to
keep up gains during hot weather.

BANDITS BLOW STANDARD OIL
CO.'S FILLING STATION SAFE

At two o'clock Monday morning the
safe in the Valley Street filling station
of the Standard Oil Co., was blown
open with a charge of black powder.
C. G. Lantz, who is now in the reg
ular army and home on furlough,
heard the explosion and notified the
police. Captain w. S. Brown, togeth-
er with Patrolmen Lilly and Bronson
drove down past the filling station
and met Lantz who stated that he
saw three men 60 down the 500
tracks. The officers Immediately
drove down Fourth avenue south to
Ninth street where three men were
just crossing Fourth avenue near the
{ new concrete bridge. Officers Bron-
son and Lilly got out of the car and
ordered the three men to halt and get
their hands up in the air. Captain
Brown stopped the car and went to
assist the officers. One of the men
seemed to have kind of asfit which
the officers took for stall to get
gun from some place on his person.
The officers told him to get his hands
all the way up which he did right
quick. An old single action forty
five calibre Colts was taken from him.
In the hand of one of the other mon
, was found seventy-eight dollars and
thirty-two cents wrapped up in hand
kerchief. The three men were walk
ed up to the police station and gave
their names as John T. Redmond, Man
son Anderson and a fifteen year old
boy by the name Of Leonard Koivu.
The men were arraigned before Po-
lice Magistrate Lynch Wednesday and
waived preliminary hearing. Red
mond and Anderson were bound over
to the next term of district court and
their bonds were fixed at $500 each.
The boy, Koivu, will be taken before
Juvenile Commissioner C. B. DaYis,
and will perhaps be sent to the reform
school at Mandan.
All three will probably plead guilty
as they have confessed the crime to,
the police. e

A card received from Editor Col
cord, who with his good wife, is
somewhere in the wild Businesses Of
Montana, asserts that Glen drove to
Glendive, distance of 275 miles the
first day. We suggest that the Auto
Club prefer impeachment charges
against this man. First, because his
machine can't go that fast and sec
ondly because Colcord was never
known to drive car much faster
than a walk, and thirdly, on general
principles-any man who would tell
such prevaricated, equivocal and in
credible tales should be relegated
from the club anyhow.

Independent contained an article de-
failing the experiences of this young
lady and a companion who toured the
western states unattended. Her re-

result Of romantic courtship with a
young Californian while on this trip.

T.. X. HIGHWAY OPENS JULY 25

Duluth, Mimi, July 17.-Announce-
ment that Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.
is expected to start the first big So
cial automobile tour over the Theo-
dore Roosevelt international High
way from Duluth to Glacier Nation
al Park, July 25th, has resulted in
many additional entries for this mo-
tor event. More than hundred au-
tomobiles are counted on when the
caravan leaves the Zenith City on a
nine days trip across Minnesota,
North Dakota and Montana. The
tour will end August 2 at Glacier
Park Hotel, Glacier National Park,
Montana.
This is the first big tour to be run
over any section Of the Great Me-
mortal Highway which extends
across the Northern portion Of the
United States from Portland, Maine,
to Portland, Oregon. Baggage
trucks and service trucks carrying
mechanics and tire experts will ac-
company the tour for the convenience
of the travellers. Every city along
the route is making extensive ar
rangements to entertain the tourists.
Indians of the Glacier National Park
reception committee. The red
skins will scatter buckskip confetti
over the last lap of the motorists
journey as a welcoming omen. This
early custom of the Bleckfeet tribe,
indulged in whenever they welcomed
friendly mounted Indians, now is
modernized as applicable to automo-
biists and the practice is peculiarly
fitting since it will serve the double
purpose Of showing the way to the
motorists as well as spreading the
welcoming sign of this tribe.
A. w. Tracy, General Secretary of
the Theodore Roosevelt 1nternation-
al Highway Association, says the
initial tour over the Roosevelt High
way bids fair to excel in many re-
spects any automobile tour ever TAX
en- through the Northwest.

BASEBALL

Minot split the five game series
with the Calgary Blacksox the last
week end. Each won two games and
the Saturday game was tie, TT,
called on account of darkness at the
end of the 9th.
Hightower won his first game
easily and Fritz from Devils Lake
lost the second game thru hits mixed
up with several errors. In this
game Giffin had the little finger on
his right hand broken and Moore
caught the remainder Of the game.
The third game, Saturday, was q
wild and woody one and the game
was nobody's almost clear thru the
entire game as it was never safe for
either side. The visitors tied it up
in the last inning when it started
with the score 7-6 for the locals.
Shirley was pitching only at times
and their scores came with hits
mostly. The visitors used three
pitchers thru the game.
Sunday the fans were given reg
ular game in which Hightower was
the whole show" as they could not
hit him. Only two hits were regis
tered off him. Warner caught the
game and got away good. Moore
pulled off a bit of highway robbery
when he caught sure hit up against
the fence with one hand when he was
running. 1t was one very seldom
seen. The score ended 80 for the
locals. One Of the largest crowds of
the year was there and were treated
to regular game.
The visitors had an off date and so
fifth game was played Monday eve
ming which game they carried off 81.
Morris had no support at ALI and with
few hard hits including a home-run
with one on after the side should have
been retired, made the five runs. The
locals wsce not hitting so could make
very little as far as runs could be
counted. Lappan hit, was sacrificed
to second and scored on hit by
Hennessey. This was all for the To-
cals.

marck. Some new men will doubtless
be with the locals and so we can hope
for good results.

Soldier Unable to
Get Bonus Money

Bismarck, N. d., July 2O.-Bjorn
p. Skiold of Mountain, N. D., has
been trying for several weeks to col
lect his\ soldiers bonus money from
the State Of North Dakota.
The bonus claim of $425 was al
lowed, certified for payment and the
state treasurer's books show that a
check for $425 was issued for pay
ment to the Bank of North Dakota,
June Is, in return for a warrant pre-
sented by the state bank, to whom it
had come for collection.
On July IA, 1921, one month after
the check was issued, the former SER
viceman addressed letter to the
state treasurer stating that he had
been unable to collect the bonus and
asking for assistance.
In all its public statements the Bank
of North Dakota has maintained that
soldiers bonus claims have. been and
were being paid promptly. The for
mer service mans letter said:
'On the third day of June receiv-
ed warrant from your office No.
26532l in the amount of $425, same
being in payment of my bonus claim
for service in the army.
"As you will see by the letter which
l am enclosing, this was sent to the
--------- - bank and it seems
that this letter explains pretty we'll
how the matter stands"
Investigation disclosed that the
young man had sent the warrant for
collection thru bank in his home
city, which in turn sent it to it's cor
respondent bank and from there the
warrant went direct to the Bank Of
North Dakota. It developed that on
June 8 the correspondent bank had
forwarded the item direct to the
Bank of North Dakota for collection,
had repeatedly written and wired the
Bank of North Dakota regarding it.
But though the check had been is
sued and there were sufficient funds
shown in the soldiers bonus account
to pay the former serviceman, the
Bank of North Dakota had been un-
able to do so, and had merely held
the states check against funds de-
posted with it. The soldier still was
unpaid July IA, month and half
after he had received his warrant.
