Corn, Potatoes to be Judged at
Institute

The staging of corn and potato
Judging contest will be one of the fea-
lures at the Boys and Girls Club
Achievement Institute, to be held at
the North Dakota Agricultural Col
legc December 18 to 23, according to
an announcement made by II. r.. Rll-
ling, State Club Leader. 49,,
Gold, silver and bronze medals will
be presented to the winners in each
of the contests The medals for the
potato contest will be supplied by the
Fargo Seed House, and for the corn
contest by Oscar H. Will & Company
of Bismarck.
Arrangements have been made for
the boys who attend the institute to
room at the college armory at cost
not to exceed 35c per night per boy.
Efforts are also being made to secure
quarters for the girls at the college.
If they are not successful, it is be-
lieved that rates of 75c or 81 per day
can be secured downtown. All Of the
children attending the institute can
secure board at Ceres Hall, the col
lege dormitory, at a total of $3.50 for
four days.

Gluten Tests Show Great Variations

That an accurate mapping Of North
Dakota to indicate high and low glu
ten content wheat production areas
is impossible, is the conclusion Of the
North Dakota experiment station fol-
lowing tests by lat samples from all
parts of the state The tests were
made by G. E. Mangels, cereal chem
ist at the Agricultural College.
In many cases, samples from the
same county or locality were found
to vary considerably in the gluten con-
tent. The average of the lat sam
pies shows 11.95 percent gluten con-
tent. The lowest test was S.6 per-
cent, sample from Donnybrook, but
in the same county, Ward, samples
ranged up to 1875 percent. The high
est test was 1921 percent in a sam
pie from New Salem. Other samples
in Morton county tested 14.25 per-
cent; 1884 percent, and 9.36 percent.
ut is realized that on account of
the large variation in gluten content,
the number of samples is not sutfi-
cient to accurately map the state"
is the statement accompanying the
results of the tests can accurate glu-
ten map of the state under present
conditions appears to be impossible,
owing to the large variation in glu-
ten content of wheat from the same
community. The data, however, does
indicate areas of high gluten content
in the north central part of the state,
and also indicates that high gluten
wheat may be found in other sections
Of the state.
"Under present market conditions,
wheat which contains 13 percent glu-
ten or more is worth premium, and
high gluten areas may expect high
or average price for the same grade of
wheat, than low or variable gluten
areas"

Farmers Can Get Free Explosives

OSAS -
Farmers of North Dakota may Sc
cure picric acid, substitute for dyna-
mite, thru their county extension
agents by paying transportation
charges only, according to an an
nouncement made today by J. w.
Haw, county agent leader.
A large supply of picric acid, left
over from the war, is in the hands
of the government, and is being dis
tributed for use by farmers for clear
ing land, excavating, digging bitches,
etc. Transportation charges amount
to $12 per 100 pounds, f. o. b. St.
Paul, and would average around $14
per 100 pounds for points in North
Dakota. The picric acid comes in 100
pound boxes of 290 sticks weighing
six ounces each. A stick of picric
will do about the same amount of
work as stick Of 40 per cent dyna-
mite. The government refuses to
ship anything smaller than carload
lots, and for that reason the orders
are being assembled thru the county
extension agents and the Agricultural
colleges.

MAKE LONG JOURNEY
OUT OF WILDERNESS

Fort William, Ont, Jan. 27.-Six
little Indian children who left the
frozen bodies Of their father and
mother in the northern trapping
wilderness, today reached Watcomb
on the Canadian government rail-
way after a fortnight of tramping
over snow-covered ground. The
five younger children ranging up
ward from baby of q few months,
were brought back by their four
teen-year-old brother and a neigh
Dor.
Their father, Atchimo Nan Tuch-
es trapper, and their mother, both
died of influenza in the family's
woodland hut on Friday, January
13. That day the father called
Atchimo, the Oldest boy, to his
bedside, told him the end was near,
gave him $1,000, the fruits of his
trapping, and bade him care for
his brothers and sisters. There
was little food in the home. I'm
able to bury the bodies Atchimo
left them in the shack with the five
other children while he set out on
snow shoes to fetch the nearest
neighbor, thirty miles away. Two
days later Atchimo came back with
John Hingoosh, the neighbor. The
five hungry tots were chewing raw
moose flesh for nourishment. They
had burned most of the furniture
to keep from freezing The bodies
of their parents We're frozen stiff.
The younger children were pack
ed on the dog sled by Hingoosh and
Atchimo, who then began the long
journey to Watcomb, where they
were fed and given medical aid.

But She Will Press Her

(By The Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 27.--Mrs. Anna
u. Stillman will continue her court
fight to obtain from her husband
James A. Stillman. $500 to defray
the cost of Canadian hearings in
their divorce suit, which was de-
MED today by the appellate dtyi-
sion of the supreme court, John
Brennan, her counsel, announced
tonight.
Mr.. Brennan said the courts de-
cision allowed a renewal of the ap-
plication on submission of addt-
tional proof showing that Mrs.
Stillman did not have on hand suf-
ficient money to meet these eX~
penses. He will submit proof
asked for at once, he said. and a
new hearing will be sought at a
special term of court.
The justice took occasion to
note that neither Mr.. Stillman nor
his wife "has specifically made a
verified denial of the allegations
of his or her own misconduct"
They took issue with Mr.. Still
mans counsel on the statement
made last week that Mrs. Still
mans defense had not yet given
evidence of potential success, but
they held that Mr.. Stillman already
had paid his wife more money for
counsel fees than most people are
able to accumulate in a lifetime of
toll,

LAY GROUNDWORK FOR
ANOTHER GOMEZ sENCE,

Washington, Jan. 81 (by the AS
sociated Press. 1.-The ground
work for another international con-
ference TO rewrite the laws of war
| for submarine and other agencies
of attack on land and sea was COM
| pleted today by the arms delegates.
Under a resolution adopted by
the armament commission, prep
arations for the new conference
, will begin Immediately upon con-
clusion Of the Washington negotia-
tions. The United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France and Italy
will be represented and the Amer
lean government will select the eX-
act time and place of meeting.
The first step toward revision of
warfare regulations is to be taken
by Commission" presumably
composed of international law ex-
perts without plenipotentiary pow
ers, but the resolution provides that
after they nave agreed the five
governments shall confer as to the
acceptance of the report and the
course to be followed to secure the
consideration of its recommended
tions by the other civilized pow
ers."
1t is taken for granted that
questions Of national policy as well
as legal consideration will enter
the final decisions reached and
that the whole problem of the sub
marine will be reopened when the
powers gather once more about
the council table.
The armament committee adopt-
ed the resolution with q short
meeting called while most of the
other activities of the conference
were waiting on a decision of the
Shantung controversy. The Far
Eastern committee likewise met
and adopted its previous declara-
tion on the Chinese radio situa-
tion.
The Shantung negotiations still
hesitated just short of an agree
ment, but the feeling seemed to
be universal that a day or two
probably would see a complete ac-
ceptance of the settlement plan
supported by President Harding.
The breach between the japanese
and Chinese was said to have been
narrowed to a question OF the ex-
tent to which the former shall par
ticipate in management of the
Tsingtao-Tsinanfu railroad during
the period in which China is com
pleting payment for it.
