The provision leaving the bulk of the

However, DR.. Arthur A. Mitten, only

wishes would be carried out by him and
that he would erect 1.-The Mitten Foun-

Thomas E. Mitten was head of

Hay Fever Yields to
Doctors Discovery

Indianapolis.-What is regarded
as an amazing advance in medical
science Is the discovery of the actual
cause of Hay Fever and Asthma by
the we'll known DR.. Fugate. He
found the cause of these ailments
originates from an unbalanced con-
dition of the endocrine glands.
After finding the cause he perfected
an effective treatment that has al
ready been used in thousands of
cases, and the reports of immediate
relief indicate that at last help for
Hay Fever and Bronchial Asthma
has been found. An important book
let telling in detail about his dis
covery and treatment has been pub

Grand Forks, June 1O.-Athletes

has just been approved by members
of the conference according to an
nouncement made by r. D. Cole Of

Athletic directors of the loop ap-

forced to take q mail vote to deter
mine the attitude Of the absent ones.
The rule will not be retroactive,
according to DR.. Cole. There are at
present athletes in practically every
school Of the conference who have
transferred to their present location
from another member. These will
be permitted to compete on teams

Larkspw Is
Best in Belmont
e. R. 5radIey's Great Colt, Ken
lucky Derby Failure, 10
Years Best
BY ORLO L.

New York, June 10.-R)-shades
Of the Kentucky derby, shadows Of q
great two year old duel flashed
around muddy Belmont park Satur-
day as Blue Larkspur splashed his
way to victory in the Belmont stakes
Americas premier three year old
race.
Running on q turf that resembled
the quagmire at Churchill Downs
derby day, the son Of Black Servant
and Blossom Time owned by r. r.
Bradley dispelled all fears that he Is
not q great horse. A going that wa
more slippery than muddy, made SO
by rain Of the last IL hours, found
Blue Larkspur at his best. He stepped
the mile and half route in 1882 as,
only 2-5 Of a second Oft the sensa-
tional time hung up by Chance Shot
in 1927 and by Crusader the preced-
ing year.
One length back Of the flying hoofs
Of the Kentucky colt was r. T. VIII
sons IRIS African, an outsider, coupled
with DR.. Freeland, the Preakness vic
tor, in the betting. And then came
George D. Widener's flashy Jack
High, five lengths in the rear Of the
Wilson colt. It was Jack High that
furnished the shadows Of the great
two year old duel.
BY his sensational performance,
Blue Larkspur can lay claim to 1919
three year old honorS. The victory
was worth $59.65O to the Idle Hour
farm owner.
Astride the mighty son Of Black
Servant was Mack Garner, who has
been booting home winners for more
than q decade. And Garner rode the
kind of q race that Blue Larkspur
likes.
Beacon Hill tired rapidly and fell
back, finished q length back Of Jack
High for fourth. Sunvir was fifth,
Live Oak sixth, Sun Halter seventh,
and DR.. Freeland eighth.
AS Blue Larkspur was crowned
leading three year old Of the year,

venile championship BY taking the

Of Is two year olds. w. r. Goes

Still Time for Flax
Sowing on Unoccupied
Land, Says Director

st. Paul. June 10.-(P)-While it is
too late to decrease wheat acreage
this year in favor of flax, there still
is time to SOW flax on unoccupied
land, according to DR.. Andrew Boss,
vice director Of the Minnesota expert
ment station, University farm. st.
Paul.
Flax may be seeded up to June IS
or 20 with normal assurance of sue
cess. he says, and adds that the flax
crop should hold a larger place than
it does in the cropping system Of the
Northwest.
Flax is known to be a more profit
able crop in the areas to which it Is
adapted and the additional tariff pro-
posed by congress gives added assur-
ance of continued favorable prices for
American grown flax, DR.. Boss stated.

GOLD BULLETS
BY r G.. O

Of the Red Gold Range, then fell
again into the rainbow sea below. A
last look and I started down the
Pitchfork. The road had been blasted
out Of the side of the canyon 40 years
ago. Millions In silver, gold and borax
had been mule-teamed around Its
, hairpin curves. But with the clos
ing down Of the Torridity mining
properties the road had fallen into
diSuSe.
Little repair work had been done
on the road of recent years and the
spring freshets had made q ruin Of 1t.
Below me fell q l000-foot drop and as
I crawled around the sharp curves I
looked at death q score of times. Nor
did I fer a moment forget that the
next bend might show me Deacon's
a upside down and Lucy's broken
body.
In two hours I reached the bottom.
The %opalescent beauty of the desert
had vanished. Grim and terrible, It
seemed to say, 1--WE got you. fool!"
The trail to Torridity lay before me,
and I was cheered. All! There were
car tracks. Several of them. Lucy
was ahead of me. I would be with
her in half an hour!
The trail was vile, but I got along
fairly well. The empty d~esolation op.
pressed my spirit and again I was
seized by that profound melancholy
I had felt in the canyon. The air
seemed charged with sinister potency.
Out of a sky as hard as q metal
bell poured a ferocious binding heat
that made me thankful for my water
%canteens. A light hot wind blew and
q faint moaning sound was In the
air. Perhaps I was running into one
of the shrilling windstorms for which
the valley is notorious. They come in
a t%winkling, sometimes last for days,
and cease as suddenly as they begin.
Just then Torridity lifted its sum
bleacffed bones into view and I blared
on my horn. In the heydey Of its
glory it had been a typical western
mining town Of 1900 population. The
present hopeless desolation Of the
town shocked me. I have been
in a few ghost cities" Of the west,
but none of them had seemed quite
so abandoned as this one did.
And here it was that the candle of
my friends life had burned with such
hectic brilliance that its reflection
shone up through the dust Of 80 years.
What tragedy had dimmed its light?
In the crooked main street, I stopped
the a and with head barred listened
reverently. A window ratified. A door
creaked. That was all.
Again I sounded the horn.
"Lucy!" I shouted. Lucy! Lucy!"
And then: Jerry, where are you?
Lucy! Lucy! Jerry!"
No response. I got out of the car.
Nowhere was there sign Of human life.
Here and there on the rutted street
were the faint imprints Of car tires.
tried to follow them, but the ground
was unyielding and the trail soon
ended. They had been here. Getting
in the car, I drove up and down the
street, blaring my horn and calling
the children by name.
