NEW WHEAT is
TO BETRIED
IN Mclean co.

|, Washburn, N. d., Jan. 2O.-Henry
Wiese, one of the prominent farm
ers Of the Conkling neighborhood,
states that he has been trying out
some new kind of wheat, which he
believes to be the best yet. The
wheat is called the Burbank wheat
and is claimed to have advantages
over other kinds. Some of these ad-
wantages are that it will mature two
weeks earlier than other wheat and
that it has a higher test of gluten.
Mr.. Weise got his seed from his
brotherin-law, Mr.. Edgerton at
Wing, who bought A ounces of it for
$i.25. Mr.. Edgerton the first year,
planted it in his garden, threshed it
by hand and had the seed for the
next year. Mr.. Wiese has been.
planting small patches for the past
couple Of years and this year he had
seven acres, which brought him four
more bushels to the acre than other
wheat. TIE test in gluten was 1925
percent which is above the average.
He told of one farmer in the state
who raised 40 bushels to the acre
which tested Is percent gluten.
Mr.. Wiese intends to plant a large
acreage Of the new wheat this
spring.
1T. >McCulloch has received some
of this wheat and will sow it this
spring.

outdoor DIVERSION" she said in the
report. "One Of the outstanding de-
partments is that Of occupational
therapy with a capable and painstak-
ing director in charge. The value
of occupational therapy is now un-
questioned. As the patient becomes
preoccupied with an interesting piece

Good diversion is afforded in rec
reational features, which include
community singing, picnics. hikes,
motion pictures, library, radio and
dancing, she said.
The greatest lack of the institu-
ton is the absence Of Social Service
work, she said. There is opportun-
ity in this regard for establishing
more personal contact, she said.

S. S. Mcclure
Speaks in Fargo

Fargo, N. d., Jan. 20. The only
way to prevent war is for the ma
tions which have nothing to gain by
conflict (chiefly Great Britain and
the United States) to combine
against it, according to Samuel S.
Mcclure, newspaper publisher, edi-
tor, journalist and world traveller
who addressed the Knife and Fork
club.
Disarming is not cure for war,
Mr.. Mcclure said. The only way
ornaments cause international con-
flicts, he said, is by their absence
in the hands of the right people.

To-Day Is
friday 18Th.
Friday the thirteenth unlucky?

Friday the thirteenth unlucky?
Since the days of Morse mythol-
ogy the number Is is put under a
curse. According to tradition, sun
god Baldur had to die because there
were 13 gods in Valhalla-a thing
which could not be tolerated.
And for possibly a longer perior
Friday has been eyed askance by the
superstitious. This is believed to be
que to the fact that Christ was cruel
fled on Friday.
But let us investigate and see just
how much the people of Americas
believe that Friday the thirteenth is
unlucky and how many believe that
it is lucky.
The writer searched the telephone
directory to find 10 and found that
it was none other than our good
friend Professor J. +. Mathis, who
upon being questioned concerning
the date said: "The day and the
date are alright. 1t holds no fear
for me. My wife was born on Fri
day and the 18th. Ny post office
box is IS. The bill creating the or
Iganization that has given me employ
ment all these years, the board of
education was passed on January Is,
was approved on FEBRUARY 10 and
there were 13 men named on the
board. | have just written the Sec
rotary of State asking that as spe-
cial favor he granted me automobile
license number - for my Ford for
1926.
Stephen Pace, lawyer, says that
Friday the 18th is the luckiest day
of the year, especially the 18th part.
81 defy superstition and from my
own observation / have found that
10 is a lucky number"
Frank P. Harold, cotton man,
says that Friday the 18th does not
bother him in the least. He also stat
ed that there was only one way in
which was superstitious and that was
that he would not eat at a table at
which 10 persons were seated. "My
father taught me not to do this that
it was unlucky and l have always
observed that rule.
Rev. w. A. Joyner, Minister and
merchant, says that Friday the 18th
is double unlucky day and that
makes it a lucky day. He further
said, "the 18th chapter of 1st Cor
inthians has Is verses, it is Pauls
epistle on love, is the most quoted
chapter in the Bible and also the
most consoling.
DIR. J. T. Stukes, physician, says
that he attaches no Importance to
the day or the date. When asked II
he would refuse to operate on such
a day he replied, mot for the reason
that it was Friday or the 18th. l
am not superstitious."
L. G. Council, banker and cotton
man. says that there is nothing to
the day or date being unlucky. II

SUBMARINE MI
LOCATED TODAY
Disappeared During Maneuvers in
English Channel; Is Located
Today

PLYMOUTH, Eng, Nov. IS. -
The Submarine MI was located to-
day on a bed of sea twelve miles
southwest of Starpoint, Devonshire.
There is a slight chance that the
members of the crew of sixty-eight
are still alive.
The MI which disappeared during
maneuvers in the English Channel,
is said to be lying at too great depth
to permit diving operations or at
tempts to bring her to the surface.
Naval ships have reported that the
MI had not suffered from any col
lision and for this reason it is
thought that men aboard might be
still alive.
If they are, experts say that they
face a terrible lingering death as
boat is of too great size and lying
in too deep water to permit rails
ing her.

Prosecution Fails to Throw Out Landsd0We TESTIMONY
MAJOR DARCUE
SUPPORTS AIR
CHIEF'SCHARCE
SAYS Air Service Was Muzzled'
During Anti-Aircraft
Tests Recently

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3. -
Prosecution in the Mitchell court
martial failed today in an effort
to throw out of court the testi-
mony given yesterday by Mrs.
Margaret Lansdowne.
After hearing arguments by the
opposing counsel the court over
ruled the prosecution objection
that the evidence given by the
widow of the Shenandoah's COM
mander was irrelevant and in
competent.
Major Herbert A. Dargue, of
the Air service, supported Colonel
Mitchell's charge that the Air ser
vice was muzzled while the
lid was taken off for Coast Ar
tillery in the seciond corps area
so far as publicity was concerned,
during the anti-aircraft test at Fort
Tilden, New York.
The evidence referred to was that
in which Mrs. Landsdowne claimed
hat Captain Paul Foley of the Nav
al Board had written her letter that
was an insult to the memory of her
husband.
According to the statement of Mrs.
Landsdowne the letter also suggest
ed that she state her willingness to
waive legal deefnse on behalf of her
husband and authorize Naval court
to act for him.
