Carpenter May Have
Hurt Himself In
British Ewes

When a noted boxer meets a
much smaller opponent it nearly
always proves to be a mistake.
Although Carpenter beat Lewis
easily enough, the Frenchman
seems to have lost the favor OF
British fight fans because Ted
happened to be looking the other
way when Georges shot over the
winning blow. England is Car
pentier's happy hunting ground,
and he cannot afford to lose his
popularity there. Instead Of paw
ing the way for a match with
Dempsey in London, Carpenter
may have killed his chance to get
the bout by beating up little
Lewis.

Find Black Rust In
North Dakota Fields
Appearance Makes The Start of
Anti -BarberTy Campaigns
Now Necessary.
lAssociated Press Dispatch. ]


Fargo. N D.. June 13.-George
,Mayou, assistant pathogolist of the
United States department of agri-
culture. stationed at the state ag1i-
cultural college here today announ-
ced that black rust in the red or
early stage had been discovered
near Kensal, Stutzman county on
winter wheat. H. l.. Bolley, plant
pathologist of the college also an
nounced that it had been found on
winter wheat at the college. Ex-
perts at the college discounted the
Importance of the finding of the
rust as it makes its appearance each
spring. Only complete eradication
of the barberry bush which harbors
the spores in early spring will
change this, they said. The amount
of damage that the disease will do
TO the crop is wholly dependent on
the weather, they added-cool and
dry weather acting as an enemy of
rust.
In making his statment Mr.. Bolley
stressed the Importance of the anti
barberTy campaigns in Minnesota
and to be started in North Dakota
July l.
Rust had been discovered on the
barberry earlier in the year and the
finding OF it on wheat was altogeth-
er expected, Mr. Bolley and Mr..
Mayou agreed.

PICNIC AT PERCH LAKE
Program Was Enjoyed; Athletic
Features Were Entertaining

Pemberton, June 13.-The first
annual picnic of the Medo Farm
Bureau held at Link McCombs'
grove on Perch Lake last Friday
was a big success despite the
threatening weather. The program
did not start in the morning as per
schedule, because the threatening
weather kept the crowd away, but
after dinner the people began To
arrive in large numbe-' and al
though the crowding of a whole
placed the speakers at a disadvan
tage, the program was stili of such
merit as only to bring praise. The
opening address was given Dy
George Rynearson, and both coun-
ty agent Mcmillan and j. F. Con-
nor delivered very good addresses,
on what the Farm Bureau is, ana
what it Is doing for the farmers.
The vocal solo by Miss Lenore
Greiner of Mapleton was very well
received as was the cornet and
clarinet duets by Erie Geary and
Alvin Lewis. The readings by Mrs.
CoggeshaN of Mapleton were more
than ordinarily lin .h good The band band
put the necessary life into the day.
Immediately after the program,
the ball game between St Clair and
Pemberton came of, with Grou on
the mound for Pemberton ana
Laurisch receiving, For st. Clair.
the game started with Frank be-
hind the bat, and O'Brien. hurting.
The Pemberton team cinched the
game in the first two innings by
scoring twelve times, while st.
Clair scored but once The game
was called OFF in the seventh inning
on account Of rain At that time
the score stood 20 to 8. In the sew
en- innings the Penberton lads
found the three ST. Clair huriers,
O'Brien, Matteson and Lynch for
% safe hits, three two base hits,
and one three bagger, while the
st. Clair lads found the two Penn
be-ton pitchers Groll and Guernsey
for but seven one base hits. This
makes one game for Pemberton,
and one for St. Clair this season,
and the two teams will probably
meet again later in the season TO
play off the tie. In the tug of war,
Medo came off second best, with
Beauford taking first honors. m
the 110 yard dash, Emo Jansen
took first honors. Emmett Shaw
piloted the winning horse in the
potato race. On the whole the pic
mic was q big success, and should
prove a stimulant to the Farm
Bureau work all over the county as
we'll as in Medo township. The
next meeting of the Medo unit
will be held at the home OF John
Davis, July a.

BUSINESS ON IMPROVE
Statement Made BY F. w. kruse On
Recent Trip To Fargo.

nCOCHl tttP " Eet9Ss
Fred w. Kruse is home from a
trip to Fargo, where he is inter
ested in business. While in that
city he gave an interview to The
Fargo Forum, speaking more par
east. ....
II am glad to be able to say
that business is greatly improved
all over our circuit" said Mr..
Kruse.
mot only are general business
conditions better but people are now
willing to pay more for their mer-
chandise, if they can get good ar
ticles, and that is the kind of mer
chandise which is coming on the
market now-it is quality stuff as
compared to the cheap goods that
were in demand during the recent
depression.
There has, been an upturn in
even greater degree on furs. There
has been a big advance in furs, anu
one of the things that took me east,
where / have been for three weeks
was to make purchases Of furs and
other merchandise now going up.
1--WE now feel that it is safe to
purchase. The bottom has been
reached in prices and the reaction
has carried several lines quite a
way back on the upgrade We do
not look for these prices to go low
er soon, and feel that the public
can buy with safety now.
During April and Mag business
continued to improve with US and
May was an especially good month.
Everywhere throughout the east
there is wonderful spirit of conf
dence in the future, and this is be-
ing backed up by actual orders.
The business depression is a thing
of the past. The future promises
big things"
