There seemed to be a disposition on the part of the railways and the elevators 10 pass the buck. Railway men were a unit in declaring that the principal source of loss was in the un- loading at the terminal elevators, where, the railway men insist two or more bushels of grain are left in every car. This is done, it was stated, be- cause it would not be profitable to occupy fifteen minutes in sweeping every car. Terminal elevators un- loading 200 or more cars a day would find this delay costly, it was said. Elevator men were inclined to be- lieve that with wheat selling at its present price and with labor avail- able at a dollar an hour or less, term- ———————ooO OO Itching, Scratching, Skin Diseases That Burn Like Flames of Fire Here Is a Sensible Treatment|¢cruptions.

The railway com- mission pointed out the fact, how- ever, that it is not the terminal ele- vator which loses his $4 worth of +grain on every car unloaded, but the shipper. Attention was called to the statement of a representative of the Northern Pacific that his company handles an average of 25,000 cars of wheat out of North Dakota in a sea- son, which would mean a loss of $100,- 000 to shippers on this line alone. S. W. Derrick, superintendent of the Soo line at Bismarck, was in favor of weighing on track scales at division points for the protection of the car- rier as well as the shipper, but he declared that the promiscuous locat- ing of track scales at small points would greatly increase delay, expense subject, and the commission’s course will be framed accordingly. Here for Meeting Among those here for the 'confer- ence today were H. N. Owen of “Farm, Stock and Home,” Minneapolis; A. C. Johnson, scale inspector of the Great Northern; P. A. Sukumskie of the Equity Elevator & Trading Co. at Lisbon; E. R. Brown of the Northern Pacific offices at St. Paul; R. E. Bem- mels of the Bemmels Milling Co., Lis- bon; Ole T. Wee of Nome, J. A. Nel- son, Great Northern claim agent; J. L. Burnham, assistant general freight agent for the Northern Pacific at St. Paul; F. N. Stewart of the Chicago & Northwestern; John A. Bohland, bridge engineer of the Great North- ern; Supt. Scott Derrick of the Mis- souri division of the Soo, Bismarck; M. F. Clements, Northern Pacific; A. H. Lossow, federal railway ad- ministration; B. W. Scrandett, federal railway administration, Minneapolis; and confusion, To operate these scales, said Mr, Derrick, a railway company would ‘be required to em- ploy three weighers at each point, even tho there might actually be but three or four hours’ work scattered over the 24, inasmuch as railway men cannot be employed for more than eight hours a day without incurring overtime charges. He declared im-! portant factors in the loss of grain in shipment, in addition to failure to clean {fe cars at terminal points,| were changes in weather. A car might be loaded bone dry and, before it reached its terminal, (it might be come thoroughly soaked with rain or snow, resulting in an increase of many pounds in light rate. Or, he said, the reverse might be true. No Immediate Action No immediate action is expected to follow today’s conference, which was merely a friendly, informal discussion of the problem. The rail board will take under consideration the views expressed today, and probably will formulate some definite plan which will be presented at a similar confer- ence to be called soon.

In former years of drouth many farms have been sac- rificed, and the South Dakotans evi- dently have been of the opinion that history would repeat itself. They are, however, meeting disappointment. While the drouth has hit many farmers hard, it has found compar- atively few who are not in a financial position to weather the storm, This of.cases of Eczema and other skin! lanta, Ga, is due largely to the fact that dairy- MMA HUAN VGH AUT A Greater Maxwell is Before You More miles per gallon More miles on tires FUUTUUUUANATAAUUUUEOEATEAAEUUI EN a ve b (Zo } Min iA { It is greater in many ways than any of the 300,000 of this very same model.

BRADLEY, Mgr, Bismarck —and—— Otis Skinner, in “The Honor of the Family” is to be the attraction at the Auditorium Thursday, July 31, when he enters upon a one night engage- ment. The chief role, Colonel Phil- ippe Bridau,-is.a unique character, a brilliant and fascinating adventurer, Balzac’s creation, although for: years it: had amused countless readers,: had never been given, to the theater, until when, ten years ago, Otis Skinner first. performed the stage version, which was adapted for his use from the French comedy by Emile Fabre. When’ first produced its success was so emphatic, and.the impression which Mr. Skinner made in the role was such a favorable one, that he has time and timeagain ‘been importuned to undertake the character again. At. last he has consented, with the result that he will be’seen in with a complete new production of.the classic. Ree ing has. made rapid strides in the Slope country “diiring the last five years. »‘The~-daily or semi-weekly cream check. has ‘become a steady source of income. Many a farmer, milking only. a‘few-head of cattle, has a certain, revenue of a thousand dol- lars or more from this ‘source, and a majority ‘of''those’:who*are dairying were provident. enough, in, the spring to. plant a considerable acreage’ of corn.’ Corn’ *will go a longs: ways toward solving the feed problem. ar Little Land For, Sale.

The: visitors from;South ‘Dakota. and; other..points are, however, picking up. nice. tracts of wild land here and there, and indi- cations. are that. more ground will be broken on the Slope this fall and next spring: than ever before in its history. The truth of the assertion that ’tis an it wind that blows no one good is proven by the fact that this land which will yield little or no crop this summer | will. enjoy. all, of, the. bene- fits of summer-fallowing, and if con- ditions are favorable to plowing this fall, large areas should: be in splen- did condition for planting to winter rye—one crop which never seems to make-a complete failure “in this, sec- tion. Slope Farmers Stick. Slope farmers are good ‘sportsmen, and already they are turning their at- tention to the prospects for another season. There will be more fall plow- ing;: more careful rolling ‘and’ pack- ing of seed beds. next spring, and, af- ter four years of only fair crops, the turn ofthe wheel should by alt’ the laws of. averages make next year one of abnormal yields which will more than repay those*who stick, for the losses they, haye sustained.

The drama embodies almost every- thing dramatic that relates to Bridau Garcon.” Incidentally, it affords an illustration of the manners and modes of one of the most fascinating and in- teresting periods in history—the period following Napoleon’s downfall, and the beginning of the Bourbon re- gime. Otis Skinner is noted for the ex- cellence of his support. This season he:has one.of the finest organizations that Charles Frohman has yet gath- ered around a star. Critics have unan- imously agreed that “The Honor of the Family” affords Mr. Skinner with one of the most congenial roles he has‘ever been privileged to play.
