GUERNSEY BREEDERS TOUR

Minot, July 10.-Members Of the
Ward County Guernsey Breeding and
Testing association are working to-
gether with County Agent John Hus-
by in the Guernsey tour to be held
July 10 to eight farms in Ward coun-
ty. The program arranged calls for
visits to Guernsey homes where con-
crete examples of dairying success
will be exhibited.
The Minot chamber of commerce
is cooperating with the Guernsey cir
cult in the tour. Farmers from
neighboring counties, interested in
dairying, have been invited to come
with their county agents on the tour.
Farmers of Ward county organized
their Guernsey circuit in 1908. From
one carload of purebred COWS they
have now grown to nearly 1000
Guernsey cows and so herds headed
by purebred bulls. The organization
has 20 members now.

Word was received this morning
from George Werten, secretary of the
Hi-Liners, saying that there was a
heavy rain in Fargo this morning and
that there would be no game today.
He also stated that Whiting, outfield-
err, had been released and his place
taken by Johnny Meyer. Meyer re-
ported to the team this spring but was
put on the voluntary suspended list
when the team was at Wahpeton dur
ing their first road trip. He has been
suffering from an injured knee and
has been at his home at Minneapolis
having it fixed up. He is in good
shape again and will fill the hole in
the outfield in good shape. He is one
of the heavy hitters of the league and
should strengthen the team considera-
BILE. Werten also said chat Bell, who
pitched the Twins to victory yester-
day had also been released. If the
weather clears up by tomorrow the
Hi-Liners will play a double header
with the Fargo Athletics and it is ex-
pected that number of Valley City
rooters will go down to see the locals
fatten their percentage.

Chauncey Piculell took his crack
baseball team to the park Thursday
evening and demonstrated to the S. T..
C. team the proper way to play the
national game, sending them home
with the short end of a 10 to score.
1t seems to be a surprise whenever
the Hi-Liners take the long end of a
score but the local fans can always
depend on Piculell bringing home the
bacon. Bob Vaughn did the twirling
for Piculell and Embertson did the re-
ceiving, Chauncey still being laid up
with split finger received in the
Ashtabula game. The college used up
two pitchers in their attempt to stop
the Piculells. Herb johnson, who held
down first base for Chauncey, sprain-
ed his ankle sliding into third base
during the game and is on the retired
list for few days. The same two
teams are to play again on Tuesday
evening. The Piculells claim that
they are easy but the college boys
say the next game will be different as
they intend to take the conceit out of
the town boys.

where they had been entertaining the
people yesterday at big community
gathering. The day was one of the

About 100 o'clock Sunday morning
the fire department was called to the
Nestor farm north of the city. The
big cattle barn had been struck by
lightning and was all ablaze when the
department arrived. Little could be
done except to see that the house did
not catch fire as there was no hope of
saving the barn and silo. Sparks and
burning embers were being blown by
the high wind directly to the dwelling
but the chemicals were used and the
house saved. This farm is owned by
F. A. Rocks, of Milbank, S. Oak. The
loss is estimated at $4,000 with about

Some fellow with an automobile
tried to wreck the Third avenue
bridge last night. 1t seems that
something went wrong, either with
the steering gear of the car or the
drivers head, and the auto hooked up
with the bridge rail, tearing down a
good part of the railing and skidded
along for several feet with one wheel
resting on air above the river. The
driver was lucky that the car stayed
on the bridge. The car was damaged
to a considerable extent and the
