Signs Encouraging Every member of the party are firni| in conviction that the Slope country) is coming into its own this year with signs of splendid crops on every side. and, farmers are diversifying crops and going.in for dairying more than ever. A great future is predicted for the Slope country. The writer trav- eled through Red River valley between Grand Forks and Fargo last week, and crops in the Slope country seem. far- ther advanced ‘and: fields are greener, Two accidents on the first. day of the trip yesterday marred what we hoped would be a perfect record. Walter Cornish plunged through a fence with his automobile just outside of Golden Valley at bad, sharp turn, but escaped! uninjured. One wheel was torn off the! car, Cornish refused to quit the tour and went cn in another car. William DahlIheim was badly hurt in the lez after the caravan left Hazen wheré a{ slop was made for noon luncheon ye terday. He was riding a big truck which followed the passenger cars at a sharp turn and heavy barrels of Bas-| oline battered the sides of the truck and body throwing off Dahlheim who} plunged head foremost to the ground. A spiggot of a gasoline barrel struck him in the shin bone of the left leg piercing the flesh to the bone. Aj; barrel just missed his head.

Barton of the Extension Divison has attended the bankers sectional conference at Devils Leake, Mnot and Jamestown. He states that there was great interest shown among all present in the clu) work and that the bankers are ready {to do everything they can to help} further this line of extension work. At Minot the bankers adopted as a slogan “one new live stock grower for each bank.” The idea back of this be- ing that every bank should encourage | and help finance at least one boy or girl in a livestock project.

In many cas the means of getting purebred live- stock started on many farms. The purebred pig and calf secured by a boy or girl in their livestock club has in a great many cases become the foundation stock far purebred live- stock on that farm, as well as on the neighboring farm: The boy or girl that has become interested in pure- bred stock has also learned a great deal about it and in nearly every case it has meant that the father has from then on taken a greater interest in the livestock on the farm so that bet- ter results have been secured.

Chicago, June 8.—Two Republican presidential candidates, Senator John- son of California and Senator Harding of Ohio, arrived in Chicago today marking the beginning of the active days of the pre-convention period. Five days remain before the conven tion convenes to pick its candidates. Everyone of the candidates except Herbert Hoover is expected here at sometime. Some of the chairmen of the incoming delegates are announcing: their preference. Political managers on the side-lines have found no reason to change their opinion that while some of the candidates. have enough delegates to give them formidable fighting strength, it is going to take more than two or three ballots to show where forces of conciliation and com- promise must be applied to bring forth a candidate. As the delegates begin to gather, there is a fore runner of the conven- tion issues which are to be incorporat- ed in the party platform. Men interested in the platform are busy lining up es. which they ex- pect to make effective before the platform committee. The committeemen will find them- selves ready to, give attention to the convention issues as soon as the con- are settled. t of women in convention is ible for the demand for tickets ; Which is greater than in past conven- | tions.

Requests from women for tickets are unprecedented Mr. Hays said. “There are more applications than seats,” said Mr. Hays. “It was announced that the tickets would be distributed Saturday.
