Gramis was considerably enIiveaed by the spirits and felt in a condition 10 rock the earth, but his guest became foggy and went into StupOr,
 Gramis could not understand why his guest acted in such disinterest- ed manner after being treated so well, so he began strenuous efforts to arouse him and impress him with | the fact that they were having a party and not a sleeping match. His l efforts to arouse the guest were un- availing and becoming angered, he set upon him and gave him a severe trouncing. The racket caused by ! the procedure attracted attention | from the street and Pairolman AL fred Tanguay went to the house and arrested Gramis on charges of drunkenness, breach Of the peace and assault, and the guest on d charge of drunkenness.
 When arraigned before Judge William C. Hungerford in police court this morning, Gramis was found guilty on ,he charges, but as
 it was his fist appearance in police court, he was placed on probation. 1 Leaving home with $ll his wife { had given him 10 pay a church as sessmcnt. lgnatz MiiewSki Of l49 Grove street arrivcl home several hours later in a drunken condition i and started 10 create Jisturba nee In the excitement, the vii" was driv. cn from the house and she notified !

 The rug hung in Abululghan's palace for years and was handed down in his family from generation to generation until about year ago, when ?. G. Selwyn was able to obtain it at a forced sale and brought it to America. It is six and a half by five feet and contains G. 100000 silk knots, more than 1000 to the square inch.

 The border is composed of panel ling, on which is the story of the meeting and the conversation which occurred there. This has been trans lated by Lutaf lsmail of 19 West Pearl street and shows that even a medieval princess was considerable of a fiapper. for when Shahmeram told her she was "a wonderful thing" and asked her 10 "hy with me-" she uttered a gurgle of delight and whispered, He likes mo" 10 her maid. Further translation by Ismail from the original Arabic re- veals that, due to the lack of rail- roads and airplanes in those days, the continual sending of messengers back and forth between the two countries stretched the romance over a period of seven years.

Selwyn Of Boston, a veteran dealer and collec- tor of these ancient tapestries. or s;rilIngly novel design and wonder ml workmanship, it is little wonder that the rug was able to heal the breach between two antagontstic nations of the Near East during the Middle Ages and end the feud start rd hy the quest for the hand of the mos, beautiful girl in the world"
 Tine historical background of the rug lends much attraction to the plcco. Nottingham, an Arab chief tain. was the father of Malahig, sung of by travelling minstrels as the most beautiful girl in the world. Shahmcram, king of Persia, learned of her and immediately asked for her as his wife. The Arab chief who dospsed Shahmeram, refused, at which the Persian said he would win the maiden by conquering her fathers domain. Abululghan, though his power was much less than that Of his enemy, made ready to fight but Malahig learned of the trouble and promised marry Shahmeram if he would withdraw his troops. This cnraged her father. who was won over only after hours of plead ing by the girl, and even then he gave her only a camel and one serv- ant 10 make the journey 10 Persia.
 Shahmeram set out with a cara van of followers and the two parties met in the middle of the desert. Malahig was presented with the most cherished gift of the time, beautifully colored bird called "Ibihhooe." and the two proceeded to Persia and were married. Shah mcram ordered his weavers 10 make a rug telling the story of the meet ing in the desert, stipulatinG that the camel must be composed of the other animals of the region and that the whole story must be told in the border.

ROTARY HAS
MORE THAN
1000 CLUBS

Cleveland, June l9.-CP)-Classifi-
cation of each business and profess
sion and the election of but one
member from each classification,
was the unique fundamental of Ro-
tary. said George T. Guernsey Jr,
chairman of the classifications COM
mittee, in telling Rotary Interna-
tionaPs convention today that it now
is composed of more than 1000 clubs
in 80 nations with a membership of
more than 100000.
Rotary is not club made up Of
personalities, but it is composed of
business and professional classified
tions," the speaker declared. THAT is
why our idea has been copied and
why Rotary is dominant force in
community life. After 20 years of
success the value Of the classified
tion idea is so we'll known there is
little need to urge that, if Rotary
is to truly function, we must be
honest in our classifications."

GRAIN CROPS
OF NORTHWEST
IN FINESHAPE
Pass Through Another Week
of Favorable Weather;
Rain Aids Wheat

The grain crops of. the Northwest
have just passed through another
week of favorable weather conditions.
Since our last report there have been
some more heavy rains covering the
kota, South Dakota and Montana.
The subsoil now has sufficient mois-
ture to carry all crops for some time.
In the Red River Valley and few
other districts there has been too
much moisture and water has been
standing in low places in the fields.
The condition of the wheat crop
is still the best of the small grains.
In some places it is thin and will
probably head rather short, but gem
orally it gives promise of very sat
isfactory crop. Some fields are very
weedy and probably this years crop
will show heavier dockage than
that Of last season. Since June LIST,
the wheat crop has shown a marked
Improvement throughout this terri
tory.
There is quite variation in the
fields of barley and oats. Some of
the earlier sown were affected by
drought or cold weather, and are thin
and heading short. This condition is
most prevalent in Eastern South Da-
kota and Western Minnesota. In the
Northern districts both barley and
oats show better condition.
There is but little to report on the
rye crop, except to repeat that it is
very poor.
Corn generally has made good
progress. Owing to the heavy rains
farmers have been unable to Guilt
vate and some fields are very weedy.
Only small amount of corn has been
damaged by cutworms or cold
weather.
rather uneven condition exists in
the Northwest flax crop. The seed
on old ground is mot doing particu-
larry we'll, as the fields are weedv
and thin, but there are q number of
other places where the flax is very
good. Our reports indicate that there
has been some deterioration since
the start of the crop.
The rains have great improved the
condition of the pastures, which were
suffering because of the drought.
For time there was insufficient
feed for the stock, but this condition
is being overcome

their side and the dairymen Is.
The biggest prize of the day was
carried off by A. c. Jordan Of Dris-
coll, who won, 500 bull calf in a
horse shoe pitching contest for men,
bers of the Cow Testing association.
Several entrants threatened to win
the prize, but Jordan smilingly threw
the shoes and won. Two throws were
allowed, so it was figured that a
throw was worth $50. The
prize was given by Louis Garske,
president Of the Burleigh County
Cow Testing association.
Pat Myhre's team won from a
scrub team with score of q to Is
in a volley ball game which attracted
many men in the gathering. Several
games of baseball between scrub
teams were in progress all afternoon.
Suitable prizes were given in all
events.
Dancing Enjoyed
After the field sports the throng
flocked to the barracks where dane
ing was enjoyed. At 2 o'clock the
Bismarck Elks' band arrived by bus
and entertained the crowd with a
concert for an hour, after which
there was dancing again until mid
night. Many arrived in the evening
for the dance.
The committee saw that the pro-
gram was as scheduled and that it
was given in an excellent manner. w.
F. Reynolds was chairman of the
committee and his associates were:
Joseph Kelly, l.. A. Garske, c. M.
Emerson and Schneider brothers.
More than 5000 persons attended
the outing during the day, Associa-
ton of Commerce officials say.
The president of the Burleigh
County Cow Testing association
wishes to thank all those who helped
to make the annual outing and picnic
of the association at Fort Lincoln
yesterday a success.
We take this means of thanking
each and every one who helped or
contributed toward the success of
the community picnic held June 10.

FARMERS GIVE
CITY. FOLKS
DAY OF FUN
CONTINUED from page ons)

PROCEEDED to demonstrate the quail
tiles by which a good cow and bull
NAV be distinguished. In the demon
stration Mr.. Aney used two cows and
a bull brought from Eastern Can
ada.
"You can tell good cow mostly
by the characteristics of its head"
he said "A wide mouth means an
ability to take in a lot of food, not
desirable in humans but very de-
sirable in a milk-giving cow. The
bigger the mouth the better. Large
nostrils show that the animal can
take in lot of air. necessary for
the proper digestion of food and the
making of milk. The eyes, legs, crop
and hind quarters should all be TAX
en- into consideration in judging a
cow. Fifty per cent of the judging
depends on the condition of the
udder and the mammillary system. A
good cow should have well-sloping
Shoulders, and a good bull straight
back and wide shoulders"
Booklets Distributed
Mr., Aney distributed booklets on
the control and remedy of diseases
of animals on the farm,
A quartet and the Juvenile band
entertained the gathering. The
quartet included William Nagel, DR..
Howard Anderson, Mrs. F. ]. Baber-
dick and Mrs. ]. A. Larson.
And then the fun began!
Horse racing, field sports, con-
tests, all attracted the crowd to the
meadow in front of the barracks. W.;
F. Reynolds was master of ceremon-
les and Judge Casselman starter. The
results were as follows:
Horse racing: First, Henry Sch
neider; second, James Douglas;
third, C. F. Craven.

Exciting Event
The most exciting event was the
tug of-war between the dairymen
and farmers. Amidst cries Of
"Heave- heave," the dairymen van
quished the farmers after few min
utes of vigorous ,tugging.
The .perspiripg farmers declared,
however, that they were not beaten
fairly, for the dairymen outnumber-
