Grain Stems Short
But Heads Filled to
Tip. With Berries

The most peculiar harvest in the
history Of Morton county is now I'M
der way, with farmers for the first
time emulating the "Gleaners," for
many Of them, in the areas where the
small grain failed to reach its nor
NAL height and the crop appeared to
lie an utter failure. have found them
selves possessed of fair yields.
Charles F. Ellis, Mandan realty
dealer who personally has large
acreage of wheat and flax, following
drive in which he covered over 40o
miles in Morton, Grant and Sioux
counties, declared:
although grain stems in many
fields are not over four to seven or
eight inches tall, the heads are filled
out to the very tip and the berries
are filling out in a way that will
make the grain grade No. dark nor
thern. with high protein content.
Will Return More Than Seed
"There are some normal fields of
grain that win go Is to 20 bushels to
the acre. Others look very bad. but
all that ! inspected on my trip give
promise of return Of the seed and
anywhere from three to 10 bushels per
acre over.
"Some farmers are using their hay
mowers to cut this grain and a few
have rugged up baskets like those used
on lawn mowers to catch the short
headed stuff. The point is" said Mr..
Ellis, ION this alleged short year. the

BIG TRACTORS
BEING USED ON
STATE. ROADS
Highways in Various Parts of
State Being Reshaped in
That Manner

Huge caterpillar tractors weighing
10 tons are being used this year by
the state highway department in re-
shaping state roads.
This work is necessary, according
to +. &. PlomasOn. engineer in charge
of maintenance, by the fact that the
roads gradually lose their shape un-
der the continual pounding Of traffic
and consequently do rot shed water
as they were designed to do. BY re
shaping. the ruts which hold the
water are filled up, the bitches at
the roadside cleaned out and the
highway put in good condition for
use.
Among the roads being reshaped
this year are state route No. IA in
Emmons county; route No. = in
Mountrail county; route No. 26 il,
Bowman county: route No. 22 in
Stark county and route No. } in
Cass county.
Has l2-FOOt Blade
Each Of the tractors is equipped
with a l2-foot blade, Plomason said
and do the work with comparative
speed and efficiency.
Keeping the highways in good shape
Inc said. means not only continued
fight against the damage done by
traffic and the weather hut constant
vigilance TO sec the road patiolmen
do their work properly. "The tend
ency is To sit on the tractor and let
the machine do the work" I'fomasOn
explained. Whereas often the best
thing to do is to get out with shovel
and fill up the holes properly. We
continually urge our men to take
their shovcls with them so as to have
them handy"
In filling up bad holes. plomason
explained. it often is necessary IL
mix clay with the gravel to insure
that it will PACK properly and not
be forced ont by traffic. This system
he said, also provides better drain

Indians at Mandan

Members Of the Chicago Athletic
club, on the homeward stretch Of their
1000 mile swing about the circuit,
danced with the noble red men Of
the Sioux nation on the depot plat
form ut Mandan recently. But they
did not dance to the shaded tones Of
ball room orchestration, or with mem
bers OF their own club The rhythm of
the tom-t0m supplied their music
and the A. &. members went through
the motions Of the Indian holiday
dance with their red brothers.
The party had left Chicago June "a,
and visited at Banff, Lake Louise.
Skagway and other points in Alaska
and the Canadian northwest. They
came back through Seattle, Sopkane

MAJOR WEIGH
TO WRITE BOOK
Mandan Postmaster Plans
Historical Novel Pertain.
ing to the Sioux

Major A. Il. Welch. is going to write
a book.
He announced his decision in con-
versation yesterday afternoon and ex-
planned that he had been moved there
to by the expression of friends and
acquaintance both ut home and in
the east. Impressed with his ex-
tensive' and peculiar knowledge of
things Indian, his friends considered
it shame that one so well fitted to
give the picture of the real Sioux
Indian should not do so.
"The Seven Fires" is to be the
name Of the Majors book. "Of the
Seven Fires" is the old title of the
chief council of the Sioux Indians.
"The council Of the seven fires Is
within the memory of living man."
said Major WEIGH.
That traditional council was al
ways held at the grove Of the Tall
Oaks. on the James River. south Of
Redfield in Sphinx county, South Da-
kota, according to the major.
Historical Novel
The book, in which the major will
set down his observations Of Indian
life, will be historical novel per-
tanning to the Sioux. This story, for
which the major has both consciously
and unconsciously been absorbing
material for many years, will relate
back to period over hundred years
ago, when the Tetons finally left the
council, never to return. At that
time the seventh fire burned out to
ashes and the seventh lodge was
taken down.
One thing which may have influence
ed the major to arrive at his decision
is the recent receipt of a book from
another man. "Ranching with Roose-
volt" is the name Of the hook.
Lincoln A. Lang, its author, resides
at Detroit, Mich.
Gets Autographed Copy
For some days now, Major Welch
has been in possession Of an auto
gruphed copy which was sent him
by Lang, in recognition Of the assist
ance which the majors peculiar
knowledge and insight into things
Indian and with respect to this re-
gion enabled him to render. The
assistance OF Major WEIGH is further
acknowledged by the author in the
foreword Of his volume.
II didn't know he was getting ma
terial for book, during the last five
or six years." was the majors COM
ment on the circumstances yesterday.
The book was published by the J.
Il. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia, and
Is dedicated to j. KOssuth Dixon, who
Is connected with the Rodman Wan
namaker Indian Foundation ut Phila-
dciphia. Pa.
Af. --a.g has visited these parts
and gained much Of his material at
first nand, as well as through talk
inv 70 the people here, according to
Maj or Welch.

 This thrift store has been open at the rooms of the association on North Main street and has been q place where the worthy needy Of this city could purchase articles of clothing and household needs and helps at very small prices.
 The price set on the articles has been simply q sufficient sum to take the providing of such articles out Of the class Of donated articles. It mas taught a very striking lesson Of self. respect and has permitted many 1 families to secure aid who other wise might shrink from accepting a direct donation or gift,
