MINOR’ RUST DAMAGE DUE T0 BIG RAINS Minneapolis, Commission Mer- chants Hear of Spots in Two States NORTH DAKOTA YIELD LOW Probable That Burnt Districts Will Average Six to Eight Bushels Minneapolis, Minn., July ripening of grain and harvesting have been sowswhat delayed in places in Minnesota and South Dakota by heavy rains, Several days have been warm and humid and black rust has ap- peared in some localities, but it has not developed enough to make it more than a minor consideration. The grain in many places is so heavy that it has lodged and this makes it hard to cut. In the dry belt of western North Dakota and northern Montana there have been some great showers, which will improve some of the late grain. Minnesota—By the first of next week the harvesting of wheat will be well under way in the southern half of Minnesota. A large percentage of bar- ley, oats and rye has been cut and samples which have appeared on the market show a good quality, Fiax conditions in Minnesota are favorable and the recent ns have been very beneficial. We huve had ideal corn weather and look for a large crop. Outside of a few districts in the state that are only fair, general prospects for all crops are excellent South Dakota—Wheat has ripened rapidly in some districts as far north as Aberdvcn, due to hoc weather early in July. This forcing the wheat may reduce tle yield slightly ! these dis- tricts, but the general wheat situa- tion throughout the state is highly satisfactory. Harvesiiig has started and will be quite general next week. The cutting of coarse grains is com- pleted in many places and the quality and yield are high. Flax and corn conditions are fine and average about the same as the. southern half of Minn- esota. North Dakota—The wheat condi-, tion in the Red River valley indicates a big crop; west of there to Devils Lake, the territory, is spotted, but re- cent rains have improved ‘it.. In the Minot district east, there is an im- provement in general eouditions and where the wheat crop was. doubttul some time ago, it may possibly vield six to eight bushels. Rye and flax are the best-crops in the central and west- ern part of the state Montana—There is little change in|% the situation. In the northern part of the state where the crops have been ‘so. damaged’ by drought, recent rains have helped the grass and what litle crop remains. In the eastern portion of the slate several arcas that have had rains are in fair condition. There are some good districts in the central-part of the state as well as in the souttiern part. It is certain that the flax yield for this state will show a decided decrease from former years, as the eastern part of the state where most of it is raised will have a poor crop, , Yours very truly, The Van Dusen Harrington Co. ———'s 5" Ang. HOUSEWIVES ARE DOING HEAP OF COLD. STORING St: Paul, Minn., July 25.—Local com- mission men have received authorita- tive information from various. cities in the northwest, that housewives are doing. a whole lot of cold storage work this summer. Thousands of dozens of eggs are be- ing “put up” for the winter: The soaring prices for hen fruit last winter caused thousands of women to make preparations for 1919, it is believed. In some districts “strictly | fresh ezgs” sold for more than 80, cents a dozen last winter. Various Preparations haye been used to pre- serve eggs. Commission men have not been in- clined to comment upon the result of individual’ campaigns this summer. Last winter, it is claimed, the commis- sion men became over-stocked on eggs which made heavy price reductions ne cessary as spring approached. BUY W. 5. S——— GOPHER FIGHT ON SALOON IS. NOW UNDER WAY St. Paul, Minn., July .25.—Although it was obscured for a time by state politics and by varlous war relief ci:ji- paigns, the statewide fight for prohi- bition is no wunider way. At the general election, on Novem-; ber 5, the question of state prohibi- tion will be decided. Leaders in the movement to make Minnesota dry have declared that their, cause will win by.a notable majority, They. have pointed out that a largé section of the state airetady is dry’ and that the military importance of Minneapolis and St. Paul will probably reduce the wet vote in the Twin Cities, to such an extent that the dry majority in the country districts cann‘i be overcome. It is expected that ‘he anti-prhibi- tion forces will put up a lively oppo- sition. Although the*campaign has just got under way it is expected that both sides will use speakers, in all sections of the state. vy Ww. S. Enthusiasm For Plan to Rename Streets for War ‘St. Paul.

The story of the soldier’s brfvery has. been brought back to America by an ord- nance officer who had been at the front. The soldier had been on duty at an outpost straightening the pins in hand grenade& After being relieved he re- turned to hig dugout, where three of his pals were sleeping: The fourth lay awake'on a bunk. The returning sol- dier had scarcely entered the dugout whena bomb. fell out of his goat pocket, and, as it fell, the straightened safety pin slipped oug The soldier realized that within five seconds an ex- plosion would probably kilf every than He had time to gef through the door and leave his companions: to ‘their death. Just what passed through the soldier’s mind in the next two or three seconds no man can ever tell, He reached a decision quickly. The brave soldier picked up the grenade, crept into a corner of the dugout, made a barrier out of his body and was in- stantly killed when the bomb exploded. His pals escaped injury. : LABORATORY ABOARD ~ AHOSPITAL SHIP Official, pictures. of the army, ‘have been abundaut, but the navy seenis to have béen overlooked.
