bARbERRY BUSH
SHOULD Be DES-
TR0YED AT ONCE

Col. Jos. NJ. Kelly returned last
week from St. Paul, where he attend
ed a conference called by President
Ralph Budd of the Great Northern
Railway Co. to talk over the barberry
nuisance which was causing the farm.
ers Of the Northwest loss of millions
of dollars annually. Farmers and busi-
ness men from all parts of the north
west were called in to talk the propo-
sition over.
A talk was delivered by Dean Free
man of the University Farm of Mimi
esota, who said that the rust originally
flying through the air would not do
any harm until after it had inoculat-
ed '',o barberry bush first. j. 70 n the
barberry it would spread onto the
wheat and during an ordinary year
would cut the yield down one-half.
The only way to rid the country of
rust was first to get rid of the bar
berry bush, which might be found
growing in wild state mostly any,
where.
Congress has already made an ap-
preparation Of $350,000 to use in kill
ing off this bush in the northwest,
and the legislature in the state of
Minnesota has appropriated the sum
Of $4,000 annually to fight it. Up
to the present time the state of North
Dakota has done nothing, but the next
session of the legislature will be ask
ed to make an appropriation to use
in fighting it.
Here in the Lake region hard wheat
can no longer be raised at profit on
account of the rust, and farmers are
almost exclusively raising the durum
wheat which is practically rust resis-
tant. Du1um new sells for about 81
cents bushel, is unfit for making
white flour, and it is only a question
Of time until there will be practically
no market for it. What is most de-
sired is hard wheat, and this can't
be raised in country, where the bar
berry bush grows.
It was pointed out at the confer
ence that if all farmers in the north
west would get busy at once, within
the next ten days, and NOW all the
roadsides and destroy the barberry
bushes growing there, it would save
many thousands of dollars to those
who raised hard wheat. If this is
continued each year, and the bushes
also cleaned up in the uncultivated
land we could get back to raising
hard wheat at profit here.
During the past ten years or more
the work of looking after the eradica-
tion Of the bushes has been left to the
county agents, who usually are too
busy to give this matter attention,
but as the rust is getting more serious
each year it is absolutely necessary
that something be done to put a stop
to it. ~

LOCAL man HELD
ON CHARGE OF
BANK ROBBERY

Hugh Wenzel, who worked at the
barber trade in Devils Lake, was last
week arrested at Thief River Falls,
Minn., with "Red" Mccarthy on the
charge of being connected with the
robbery and murder at Michigan, N.
D., last Wednesday. Wenzel was ar
rested here several months ago on
the charge of being connected with
stealing $500 from a roomer at the
Western Hotel, and was arrested again
about two weeks ago on the charge of
being drunk and disorderly.
Wenzel and Mccarthy are now in
the county Jail at Thief River Falls
while complete investigation in re-
gard to their whereabouts on the night
of the crime are being investigated.
They claim to have spent the night
of June 21st at hotel at Bisbee, but
investigation there shows that they
registered on t! night of June 20,
and left the following day at 1880 in
the afternoon for Fordville. Nc
Carthy registered as John Omar of
Fargo and Wenzel as Joe Adams.
The dates on the hotel register show
at the men asssally registered on
F''ne 20, but the register was later
changed to show that they registered
on June 21.
Mccarthy and Wenzel arrived at
Thief River Falls on the morning fol-
lowing the murder and bank robbery,
and were taken in custody by the sher-
iff there after they were unable to
explain their whereabouts the night
before. Detectives are working on
the case and as each hour passes a
stronger case is developing against
them

PREMIUM LIST
OF FAIR NOW
DISTRIBUTED

The premium lis4 for the Lake
Region Fair which will be held in
Devils Lake on July 11-12-13-14 are
now being distributed among former
exhibitors and others interested by
Secretary D. j. Rapp, who tells the
World that there are more calls for
the book and there is more interest
being shown in the fair than has ever
been the case before. More premiums
are being offered this year in the
several departments, and several new
departments have been added, Pre-
miums are now offered for mostly
every farm and home product of the
Lake Region, and from the amount
of interest being taken in the event
there will be exhibits galore in all de-
partments.
For long time the farmers of the
Lake Region have raised the finest
pure bred cattle and horses in the
state, and each year the best of these
animals have been exhibited at the
fair here as well as the state fairs
at Fargo and Grand Forks. A number
of new prize cattle have been shipped
into this region since the last fair,
and these, of course, will be exhibited.
There are many different breeds of
both mich and beef cattle here, but
premiums have been provided for all
of them.
Entertainment has been provided
for every hour Of every day of the
fair, and there will be ideie time dur
ing the event. The fastest horses
in the northwest will take part in the
races and compete for the prize money
put up. The auto races are sure to be
faster than ever before for the reason
that lrager purses are offered to the
winner, and the best drivers will be
here in an endeavor to win them.
Then there will be band music every
day, a splendid carnival, a flying cir
Gus, and no end of special attractions.
People from all parts of the Lake
Region should make it point to at
tend this fair and spend several days
meeting their friends and at the same
time see the lest obtainable both in
amusement and exhibits.

to vote. He even went so far as to
say that if it were within his power
he would send every person to Jail for
60 day who failed to exercise his right
to vote.
In regard to the Boy Scout band the
judge said:
"You have the most wonderful musi-
cal organization here that / have ever
heard, and some time when I can ar
range to do so, I am going to organize
and arrange to take this Boy Scout
band on transforming tour from New
York to San Fransisco to show the
people Of the United States what can
be done."
There is probably no part Of the
entertainment furnished them that,
the Legionaries enjoyed more than
the "Powder River, Let 'er Buck"
at Lakewood Wednesday evening. This
was something new to most Of the
visitors and will be remembered by
them for a long time.
The convention came to a close
Thursday evening and most of the
visitors left for their homes that night,
all admitting that Devils Lake did
things up right, and that they will all
be back when it comes to this city's
turn to entertain them again.
The convention next summer will
be held at Wahpeton.

T. Neihuis of six miles west of Law
ton together with Mrs. Niehius and
their five children were visitors in
Devils Lake on Thursday of last week,
coming here principally for the pur-
pose of doing some shopping. While
here Mr.. Niehuis called at the World
office and told us that we could say
for him that never during his residence
in the Leke region did he see a better
stand of grain than what is to be
found everywhere a person goes. The
rye, he says, is filling nicely, and the
other grains are growing so fast
person hardly knows field after see
ing it for a few days. Only about
three more weeks of favorable wealth.
er, according to Mr.. Niehuis, will
give the Lake Region the biggest crop
in its history. Mr.. Niehuis came
here from Iowa, where is it absolutely
necessary that farmers till their land
right in order to raise the crops neces-
sary to pay interest on the high pric-
ed land, and since. coming here has
never attempted to work any more
land than what he could take care of
properly, and naturally was able to
hold his own in big yields of grain
ever since he started farming here.
He is sure the yield on his place this
year will be the biggest ever.

POPULAR NOR
WEGIAN PLAY
AT GUILD HALL

The World is asked to announce that
the great Norwegian play, Ole i
Skratthult, which has been advertised
to be given at the Lakewood pavilion
on Friday evening Of this week, will
not be given there, but instead will be
given at the Guild hall in Devils Lake.
The reason for the change in the place
of giving this show is the fact that
the Chautauqua season is now on at
the park, and the pavilion could not
be secured for this popular road show.
The dance after the show however,
will take place at the Lakewood paw
lion as advertised.

tire will be packed to its capacity both
evenings on which these films are

u1day morning and the guardsmen left
for their homes the same day. This

an appropriation of this kind can be
secured.

According to advices from Fargo he
arrived there last Saturday, and
may also visit Devils Lake this week.
Mr.. Burke was in St. Paul list Thurs

following to say:

paid-up life insurance policy, John
Burke, former treasurer of the United
States and for three terms governor
of North Dakota, is travelling back to

FRED Mann, SRu CAR STOLEN and !.
FOUND LATER SMASHED UP

ing by men working on the road at
seven o'clock the radiator was still
warm, showing that it had been aban-
doned only short time before. In
dications are that the thieves either
took the car for revenge and delibera-
tely smashed it up, or else being un-
familiar with cars of this kind were
unable to make it go and used a. ham,
mer for spite. Sheriff Elliott is un-
willing to believe that professional
auto thieves would have acted the
way these fellows did.
