Clements, government inves- tigafor on the Carnegie foundation, «inadg-on,a recent visit to this city the assertion that Western North Dakota must’ revett to cattle raising to utilize | :fullest possibilities and regain} what he considers a waning prosper- ity. Professor Clements was until a year or ‘so ago head of the depart- ment. of botany at the Minnesota un- iversity farm and is author of a stand- ard work on plant succession. He was accompanied here on his tour of the northwest by his wife and one as- sistant, Professor J. C. Weaver of, Lincoln, Nebraska. Take Issue With Clements. Local prognosticators took issue} with Professor Clements on his asser- tion’ that’ this state is in for another dry period. The investigator believes that wet)qnd dry years run in cycles and that North Dakota is entering a dry cycle: Consideration of the weather records since 1894, when the FINE PROGRES WITH BUILONGS WN COUNTY SEAT Splendid New Structures Rapidly Nearing.

Seventeen hundred fifty horsepower will be the strength of the ‘Mandan Electric company’s engines when the new machine is installed.

The middle room of the structure* has been thrown into one great engine great northwest really started in the making, seems to disprove the ex- pert’s contention and to indicate that we are on the verge of a cycle of wet seasons and crop prosperity. Basing his views on his belief that dry cycles will hamper this country in attaining success as a grain pro- ducing region, Professor Clements de- clares that our salvation is a speedy return to grazing and beef shipments. Good Grazing Land. “You have the best grazing land I have seen throughout the northwest,” asserted the professor, “and | think it deplorable that it is not in use. Your state can carry easily three times as many cattle as are now be- ing raised. And it would mean money. The meat markets of the world are critical, and bcef raising is a patriotic and humanitarian occupa- tion. I would advocate rotation graz- ing both for immediate profit and for land preservation.” The Carnegie foundation is secking to help the government solve the world food crisis through such work as Professor Clements is doing. doors have been rearranged accord- ingly, the office being now in the west room formerly occupied by the Man- dan Transfer company.

Hanley May Result in Abandon. ment of Fall Term The twelfth judicial district may do without a regular fall term of court unless plans. are laid. more def- initely than at present. So, far as known there are no important’ cases scheduled, most of those on the pros- pective calendar being carried over trom the last two or three terms. There is little. doubt but that Judge Hanley will accept the majority in the new North Dakota regiment that has been offered him, which would necessitate bringing in the judge of another district for the term. There was no jury summoned in June, hence several of the continued cdses are jury cases. This being the very busi- est season of the year for farmers, it is felt by the clerk of court and. otn- ers that it would be very difficult to get a jury together for the September term, which ordinarily would begin September 17. All these things considered there is a possibility that there will be no regular session of court for this ais- trict until time for the December jury term. WCET JOHNNY BAER, OUR NEW SKETCH ARIST MAO ALSD (4, COGRSSMAN We have with us this evening, la- dies and gentlemen, the Hon. John M. Baer—congressman from North Da- kota, and sketch artist for The Tri- bune. _ Baer, who chalk-talked himself in- into congress, is going to. do about two. caricatures a week from Wash- ington for YOU. When elected, he was a cartoonist on a state paper. He had been educated as took a fling at farming before going into art. And he is just over 25, the age necessary for election to con- gress. He got more votes than all six op- ponents. One fellow ridiculed his farming by alleging the young chap had cov- a civil engineer, and; ered a wagonload of flax to keep it from freezing. (Flax doesn’t, freeze.) But Baer explained in his cartoon, he had really covered the flax in a ter- rific windstorm, to keep it from blow- ing away. And the day was saved. Another candidate spoke with a Norwegian accent and boasted Scan- dinavian parentage—in a strong Scandinavian community. Eut town voted for Baer. Baer some years ago, when he was breaking into the cartoon game, of- fered The Tribune Cartoonist, Satter- field $1,000 for the use of Sat’s ram- ous trademark, the little “bear.”.

Wednesday they were about a mile and a half north of that station, and it is believed by Charlie Whitmer, prominent farmer and merchant of Yucca, that they will reach his place by the early part of next week.
