FINISH GRADING
AT AUCUSTANA
Months of Work on Slopes to Avoid
Landslides and Lower Hill
Completed.

Grading of Thirty-eighth street
hill and other slopes and terraces
on Zion hill, location Of the new
boys dormitory and seminary build
ing OF AGeustana college, will be
finished in the next two days.
Since last October, with the ex-
ception of the cold months, the Lit
tig Construction company, Daven-
port, has been engaged in grading
and Ieveling Zion hill and the slopes
surrounding the location of the
new buildings. The grades have
been made easy and less suscept-
ible to landslides. The road to the
rear of the main building and be-
tween it and the gymnasium has
also been improved by being wild
ened.
Erection of the new buildings is
progressing rapidly. The Berg
stedt Construction company, Mo-
line, which has contract for the
building, is now pouring concrete
for the first floor slab. Both struc-
lures are being built at the same
time, so that the work is that of
one building. The dormitory and
seminary buildings will be connect
ed by a cloister.

Famous Castles Screened.

Those who are interested in the
exquisite architecture which is to
be found in the barOnial castles of
Italy are given treats in THE Man
From Home" now showing at the
Fort Armstrong. Filmed in Italy
so that the fullest justice might be
done to the work of the author,
Booth Harrington, this picture was
screened in the exact settings of
which the book tells. Readers will
recall that many of these settings
were the fine castles which com
prised the last and mortgaged as
set of an impoverished nobility
But despite this state of affairs
pride seemed to 1inger about the
occupants, and permission to film
the buildings and grounds was
often hard to obtain. But there be-
ing no will like that of the location
hunter. this permission was eventu-
ally gained, and now picture fans,
unpriviIeged by circumstances to
travel, are enabled to enjoy the
beauties Of this old world architec-
ture.

month more of good weather will
mean the best crops the northwest
has seen since 1915, according 10
statements by agricultural authori-
ties here today. E. G. Quamme,
president of the st. Paul Federal
Land bank, declared the crops
would assure such a squirt of buy
ing that factories and stores would
be put to supply the demand
Northwest payrolls are increasing
as industrial operations have been
speeded up nightly in the last few
weeks to keep pace with heavier
demands by buyers. The increased
purchasing power is making itself
plainly evident, especially in the
larger communities Fwin-Cities
wholesalers and jobbers declared
today that retailers now were buy
ing freely. The response TO June
clearance sales has been unusually
good.
Railroad executives estimate that
the iron ore tonnage produced this
year will be double the amount
shipped in 1921. The Lincoln mine
OF the Interstate Iron company at
Virginia, MIMI. is the first mine in
the district to suffer as a result of
the coal strike. Scarcity of coke
has resulted in the laying off of
one-third of the ferce employed.
Soft coal prices are higher as a
result of competitive buying.

Is 1t a Habit?

We have recently seen several
gardens which have borne heavy
crops of spring and summer vege-
tables, but these gardens are
now covered with the finest Of
grass that is being pastured by
calves. Now is not too late to
plant a full garden of vegetables
for fall use: Irish potatoes, cab.
bage, carrots, beets, radish, let
tuce, snap beans, turnips, English
peas, etc. These will do for the
children what the grass would
do for the calves. Let's break
up this habit of treating the
calves better than we do the
children. The calves, yes! Treat
them well, for they make cows,
more of which, better treated, we
need for the betterment of the
children, but pasture is for the
calves not the garden.
1t will soon be school time"
and we want our future repre-.
sentatiyes Jour children) to be
better, more intelligent and bet
ter educated than we. If this is
to be done, there must be some.
thing more than good school
buildings and good teachers.
There must be mental pep in the
children as well, and this will
come only through the best Of
health. resulting from the best of
foods, wisely administered-the
animal, the mental, the moral,
are all vitally bound up together,
The pale, physically weak and
unhealthy child can be neither

Parents, ours is a must terrible

Boil Weevil Remedy

It has long been known that
the biggest factor in cotton pro-
duction under weevil infestation
is s'getting there first" with mat.
ured fruit. DR.. Winters, Plant
Breeding Agronomist, of the
State College of Agriculture, says
that any variety of cotton recon-
mended for weevil conditions will
vary inits ability to'set fruit by
Aug. LIST, from 10 or IL bolls to 8
bolls to the stalk, and that by
marking the heavy fruited stalks
now and picking the cotton from
them and ginning separately, will
give planting seed for next year
Rockingham post-dispatch., 1922-08-10

that will make an average il.
crease next year Of 81 lbs ot lint
per acre over ordinary unselect-
ed seed. This was the result of
such work last year. One man
can mark with tags or rags suffi-
cient stalks in a day, says DR..
Winters, toproduce 5 or 6 bushels
of seed. This means an increase
per acre of $18 to $40 according
to price, in favor of such seed
selection. Let's do this marking
at once for at least enough seed
to plant an acre.
