North Dakota Corn and Wheat
Region Summary
For the week ending June "a, 1924.
Although heavy precipitation de-
layed farm work in many sections
and damaging hail and wind storms
occurred, the weather was generally
favorable for all crops. The corn is
rather backward and much dragging
is being done for weed eradication
though cultivation is we'll under way.
The spring wheat has exceptionally
good stand and color. Oats, barley,
Speltz, flax and potatoes are excel
lent, as are pastures, ranges and
meadows. Indications are for heavy
hay crop. The roads have generally
improved and the main trails are ex-
cellent.

Need of Bandstand
For Weekly Concert
Is Very Evident

Waterville needs a band stand
built with a sounding board at the
top as we'll as roof. At the present
time each Wednesday night one of
the Waterville bands goes out onto
the crude platform in Monument park
and gives a concert. The concerts
are good and the citizens show their
appreciation by turning out in force
each night there is a concert. Last
night the crowd was estimated at be-
tween 1000 and 5000 people and prac-
tically all of them stayed for the full
hour. Cars are parked in many
cases two deep along the streets
leading around the park. But rela-
lively few people in the cars can
really hear the concert, for there is
nothing to help spread the sound and
with hundreds packed closely about
the stand the music carries a very
short distance.
The cost of a good substantial
bandstand that would be an orna-
ment to the park has been estimated
at about $500, which is really a small
cost when the number of people who
enjoy the concerts is considered.

Made Good IMPRESSION

w. Gregory Harris has compiled a
book about the natives Of Devon. and
in 1t tells the story of the farmer who
was ambitious to educate his sons.
He took his young hcpefuls 70 the
head master of a famous school, and,
on being admitted into the principals
sanctum, he said: We'll, zir, I've a.
brought these yer bwoys tn yu vor tn
be dedicated; l nivver 'ad no eddica-
ton myzelf, but things be differ'nt
vrom what they used Vor tn be, an l
wante thes bwoys dedicated witty
properly, and dang the cost"
The schoolmaster cuavely replied;
you have done quite right. my
friend, in bringing your sons to me,
for we have turned out no fewer than
three seniors wranglers from this
school and the boys who have passed
through my hands nave never had
reason to look back with regret upon
their curriculum"
The farmer (not knowing that a
senior wranglership was a high
mathematical distinction) was bit
dazed at this but concluded that he
was going to have HIS moneys worth.
He therefore replied emphatically
and with deep Appreciation: "Yes,
cir, that's 1t. Yu ketCh my bwoys
wranglin', or any o that Zorts o
niaygaames. chuck 'em out, neck an
crop-an' as yor that these currikle-

HARD LUCK TALE
TOLD BY STRANGER
IS PROVEN FALSE

was ne an fmposter, q crazy man or
was he really In trouble? is the ques-
ton that several benevolent people
have been debating since yesterday
when young man entered the Offices
OF q Waterville relief society and the
home Of one of the ministers and told
that he was out of money and in great
distress. His story was investigated
and found to be apparently without
fundation.
This young man. who claimed that
his residence was in Baltimore, Md,
entered the office Of the relief society
and, with his head bowed in his hands,
declared to lady there that he could
not tell his story. He started to leave
but was called back and finally he
poured out his tale Of woe. He said
that his sister was in great trouble
and he was out of money and unable
to help her. He had some money COM
ing soon but he was unable to leave
and get Job for fear his sister would
commit suicide. He gave the address
where he and his sister were staying
as II Elm street, the Melcher, apart
ment 2 and said that they were stay
ing with a family by the name of
Burke. He asked that someone Of the
women go and see his sister He was
given a small sum Of money.
Yesterday morning one of the mem
bers of the relief association went to
the Melcher, apartment 2, and found no
family living there by the name of
Burke and no one there knew of any
family there living in any apartment.
This lady met the wife of local min
lister and in some manner they made
IL known TO each other that they were
on similar errands, only the man had
told the minister's wife that the name
of the family with which he and his
sister were living was Corson.
About this time both decided that
it was a hoax to secure money and
they gave UP their errand OF mercy.
Inquiry was made at other places in
the city. but the man had evidently
not called there. Some believe that he
may have been partially insane as he
secured very little benefit by his ac-
lions.
He was man Of about medium
height. fairly we'll dressed and I'M
shaven. He said that his sister was
extraordinarily beautiful and about 90
years of age. No trace has been found
of his since.

Germany today is land of
fugitives. Every Both person in the
German republic is a refugee. 1t is
estimated that there are 100000
Germans who have been thrown
back upon their fatherland as a re-
suit of the war and the carrying
out of the Versailles treaty.
This figure does not include the
Russians and other foreigners who
have sought refuge in Germany,
and 1t does not take into consider
alton the 100000 inhabitants of the
Ruhr and Rhineland who have been
deported since the French occupa-
ton.
Officials statistics show that 75O-
600 Germans from enemy countries
are now in the republic. From the
strictly German settlements in Rus
STA and in parts of Hungary now
coded to Rumania there are 100000
refugees. Alsace-Lorraine contribut-
ed 100000 deportees. From Posn-
ania, former West Prussia and
Memel there are $4,000 refugees.
Upper Silesia supplied 10000 per-
sons who could not be assimilated in
Poland.F From the former German
colonies there are 10000 refugees.
Czechoslovakia and the portion of
Schleswig coded to Denmark each
contributed 10000.

Why Did They Leave?

That the ancient Chinese were set
tiers in Mexico is gradually becoming
a historic certainty. Amulets recent
~ discovered at the foot of the fam
Gus Teotihuacan pyramids show in
scriptions which were easily deciph-
cred by experts at the Chinese
embassy at Mexico City. Explorers
so years ago saw something of Bud
dhistic origin in some of the quaint
customs of the poems. In old Chin
csc manuscripts in the Picking i'm
perial palace there Is mention of
some land that was visited by Bud
dhist missionaries 500 years before
Christ and where the new gospel was
met with good reception. 1t is now
thought that the land meant in these
old scripts was Mexico. Still Col
umbus or Lief Ericsson have not lost
any of their adventurer's glory.

According to DIR. Herbert Lang or
the American Museum of Natural
History, who recently returned after
studying it in its native haunts, its
lower lip is armed with a plate OF
horn as a protection against the
sharp swordgrass upon which It
feeds. Another strange thing is that

Esehew "NationaIr Schools

Nearly half of the 5000 students
who deserted government and mis-
sion schools in Bengal during the
strike of 1920 have now returned,
according to figures printed in a
government report on the progress
Of education in Bengal. The student
strike was result of political
agitation, and was followed by the
establishment of, national schools
by means of which the non-co-
operators sought to boycott all
government and government aided
institutions.
These schools are ill-housed,"
states the report, badly equipped
and indifferently stated. Most of
them lead precarious existence
and their financial statements, if
they are ever made, would probably
bear little inspection.
Fees, not always paid. doles from
congress funds; occasional wind
falls from n-co-operators; a
varying amount realized from the
sale of rice brought by pupils as a
sort of payment in kind, these are
the main items of income.
There seems to be no uniformity
OF studies. The pupils attend or
not as they please. Signs are not
wanting that now the first flush Of
enthusiasm has passed. these in
situations will die of inanition.
though their establishment has
probably done more than could a
good deal of counter propaganda to
convince the people of Bengal of the
weakness of the non operation
movement in education"

Seventh Concert by
Drew's Band Pleases
Immense Audience

The seventh weekly band concert
OF the season was given last even
ing by Drew's Waterville Band with
one of the largest crowds of the
summer attending. The numbers were
rendered well and were applauded.
Band concerts seem to be about
the most popular form of entertain
ment in the city of Waterville judg-
ing by the number that attend. 1t
Is very seldom that less thu" 1000
people attend and il there happens
be a few extra clouds in the sky the
police department and band leaders
are beseiged with calls from people
anxious 10 know If the concert is
going to be held. On account of the
number of people calling by tele-
phone the band leaders are trying to
have it understood that no matter
what the weather may be before S
o'clock If 1t is not raining at the
concert will be held.
