WHEAT CROP TO “EQUAL THAT OF (916 AT LEAST Statistician R. .H. Thistlewaite of Agriccultural Commission Makes: Prediction BEST YEAR YET KNOWN FOR AUTOMOBILE SALES That North Dakota’s wheat crop, in quantity, will at least equal that of 1916, when the state marketed ap- proximately 60,000 bushels, and that in quality this year’s wheat will far surpass that of last is the confident prediction of R. H. Thistlethwaite, sta- tistician in the state department of agriculture and labor. Mr. Thistlethwaite’s well known conservatism lends more weight to this prediction than to many others which have been made, prophesying larger or smaller yields. No accurate statistics covering the state as a whole are available, states Mr. This- tlethwaite. He bases his estimates on direct information from farmers in va- rious sections of the state, and he has endeavored to strike an average be- tween those who report no crop at all and others who predict that their, par- ticular fields will yield as high as 25 bushels. Mr. Thistlethwaite is rather skep- tical as to 25-bushel yields. He fears the continued dry weather at a time when the wheat is filling out will re- sult in some short heads and shrunken kernels. But on the other hand, he OHNSON’S believes the unusual amount of humid- ity which has been in the air, in spite of the extreme heat, has prevented the grain from suffering the worst ef- fects of drouth. Of one thing he is very certain— there is absolutely no rust. All of the wheat threshed will be of far bet- ter quality than that of a year ago. Most pf it should grade No. 1. Even a five-bushel yield of No. 1 wheat with a probable minimum price of, $2.50 is the equivalent of a 15-bushel yield in an average year. At the same time, alowance must be made for added cost of seed and labor. Jacob Reider paid $900 for 300 bushels of seed wheat, most of which he will plow under at his farm near Anamoose. Everyone paid high prices for seed last spring, and will pay an average of 75 cents more per day for harvest help. Corn Doing Well. “Barring the lack of moisture, this is splendid corn weather,” said Mr. Thistlethwaite today. “In a recent visit to southern Minnesota I found the corn there no better than that in North Dakota. Even as dry as it is, these warm, moist nights are making some splendid corn, and it will be a boon to the farmer this year when forage crops are so light.” Big Year for Autos. “In spite of threatened crop short- ages, war and everything else, auto- mobile men in the twin cities are predicting that their August sales will break all records in northwestern PURE POLITICS FRAZIER BRANDS and Loyalty of Bowman Postmistress HUSBAND OF ACCUSED Fargo, N. D., July zier has had time ‘to make an invesii- gation of the postoffic: situation at Bowman, in an interview here today he ‘flatly brands the attack on Mrs. Lillian Totten, postmistress there, as purely political. He announced that he intended to petition Postmaster General A. L. Burleson to not consid- er the complaints made against Mrs. Totten until the matter had received TOUTEN ATTACK Governor Confident of Patriotism SAYS IT’S M’CUMBER, --Althongh it does not appear that Governor }ra- a thorough investigation from his de partment. “Purely Politicel” “I am satisfied the attack on the Tottens is purely political,” the gov- ernor is claimed to have said. “I know both Mrs. Totten tad her bus- ‘band, and they are both highly estim- able people, respected in their «o1 munity and thoroughly loyal and pa- triotic.” What Totten Says In defense of his wife, County Judge E. B. Totten has made the fol- lowing statement: “McCumber's attack in the senate has for its basis the political and per- sonal animosity toward us of Jim Phelan, leader of the local remnant cf the old gang. He is now making use of the war situation to strike at us for our support of the Farmers’ Non- partisan league, and for our activities campaigns, was defeated and his prestige and patronage control overthrown “Phelan’s charge through McCum- ber and before the grand jury are, based upon an incident in which cur! participation was innocent in every respect and consonant with entir | loyalty to our country and the adm‘n- istration. The statements relative to our actions are deliberately falsified and wilfully misleading. “The familiar epigram ‘Patriotism is the Last Refuge of a Scoundrel,’ in behalf of President Witson in two; in which his candidate THE The Northwest Hotel A Pecans Hotel at Reasonable Rates oon 50c per day and up Single room with bath, $1.00 ae Running hot and cold water in every room : Opposite McKenzie Hotel EUROPEAN The NORTHWEST, 100 Rooms THE HOTEL CENTER IN The McKenzie ‘The Seventh Story of North Dak day ond ont ‘opposite }00 rooms with bath. be CK ND. 210 Rooms BISMARCK, N.

St. Paul, Minn., July 27—The fire that destroyed the Crookston com- pany’s mill last Saturday night at Be- midji was not of an incendiary origin, could not have been more aptly made according to reports received here. if he had had the present situation in Butcher Proves No William Tell; His.

Mr. Hall visited Minneapolis last week, and he found northwest distributors flooded with orders. Pros- pects they declare, never have been better. Their only anxiety is that they may not succeed in getting cars fast enough. This situation, twin city distributors advised ‘Mr. Hall, applies to North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Min- nesota particularly. They were con- fident that more cars would be sold in this territory in August than in any other year in the history of the business. — fi NOUEUNUOUOOUOUSOUOGORNOAAOONOH Popular Priced Store Bismarck's Fastest Growing Store.
