PREDICTIONS OF YIELDS ON SLOPE HOLD ‘ Reports From Various Parts of Western North Dakota Show Fine Yields OATS YIELD IS HEAVY Much Rye Makes 20 to 30 Bushels an Acre — Rust Does Wheat Little Harm The first authentic report of wheat threshed on the Missouri Slope came from the Slope Grain and Feed Company in Mandan to- day. Wheat. threshed on the farm of Frank and Ed Nickelson, 12 miles south of Mandan, tested being 60 pounds to the bushel, graded No. 1 Marquis, It timated the 119 acres the son brothers had planted would yield 18 to 20 bushels an (cre. The wheat brought better than $1.30 per bushel. A high quality of wheat is indicated throughout the Missouri Slope, by the test. Dickinson, N. D., Aug. 19.—Wheat harvest is now general in Stark coun- ty, and will be complete within a week, although: a trifle late. Rye and barley harvests aré , complete, while oats are ripening rapidly, and flax crops promise an unugual yield. brreshing of rye was begun by sev- eral farmers last week. A thirty acre farm on the Jessen farm a mile west of here yielded an average of 12 1-2 bushels per acre, and was of excellent quality. The yield would have been heavier had it not been for a hail loss estimated ‘ht 80 per cent, it was reported. Rust which has threatened Stark ‘county wheat fields for the past two weeks, has done only a small amount of damage, according to Leroy Moomaw, superintendent of the Dickinson ex- periment station. E Corn has developed rapidly and will be a good crop if the frost holds off as late as it has for several years, SEE BIG YIELDS Hazelton, N. D., Aug. 19.—Consi erable red rust is found in the grain - here, now being harvested, but little black rust. .Little damage seems to have been done, and the kernels are plump and large. . Predictions are that much of the rye will yield 30 bushels and oats 80 bushels, to the acre. No rye has yet been threshed here. The corn will be good if rain falls soon, and if the frosts do not come too soon. * WHEAT ESTIMATES Washburn, Aug. 19.—Practically all the rye and oats in McLean county have been cut, while the wheat har- vest is at its height. Rust did not effect the early wheat, but the late wheat has» been touched dy it, al- though not so much as in former years. Estimates on yields are all the way from 10 to 20 bushels, de- pending on the time of seeding. F CORN RETARDED Garrison, Aug. 19.—Harvest is progressing rapidfy here pf oats, bar- ley, and rye. The cold has been ideal for whert filling, but is retarding the corn development. Flak and po- tatoes are regarded as doing well. A few farmers began cutting wheat last week, but this week marks the begin; ning of the general wheat harvest. RYE YIELDS 20 BUSHELS , _ Linton, Aug. 19.—William Gabbert north of this city, holds the record for early threshing for this part of the country for the past , several years. He threshed rye the past week, of No. 1 quality, which yielded 20 bushels to the acre. \ RYE YIELDS 21 BU. Napoleon, Aug. 19.—Twenty acres of rye that yielded 21 bushels td the acre, and weighed 60 pounds a jus- -hel was threshed lust week on the Pioneer farm, owned and operated by the Hoof brothers. * Ww. J, Belzer threshed 1060 bushels of oats from 18 acres. LATE GRAIN HELPED ‘Wilton, Aug. 19.—The continued ool weather has benefitted the late grain in this territory, for it has been suffering from the drouth. Rye harvesting is almost complete, and the yield is good, Fegd and foraging crops are exceptionally promising. LONG WHEAT HEADS “kK Steele, Aug. 19.—R. B. Crouse of near Steele is displaying well filled heads of wheat which measure, from three and. one half to five and three quarters inches in tength. They are samples of the average wheat field in this vicinity. ¢ NEW PLANT DISEASE ba Werner, Aug. 19.—A plant disease which has appeared for the first time in Dunn county, is reported,to have infected the wheat around here quite generally, making the fiel | pear a much lighter color than is natural. . Authofities at the Agricultural College, who have examined speci- mens of the infected grain, say it is a Root rot caused by-Helminthosber- itm, a black molf like organism, which can cause root leaf blotch, spots on the glumes, and also black: points. on the /kernels; it effects wheat, barley and rye, as well as (Gontinved on page 3) 3 on “his, campaign.

ORDER ISSUED TO FACILITATE | CANDY EFFORT) GUN MOVEMENT National Guard Commanders Authorized to Place Guns in Villages SANGER IS THE FIRST Other Towns ‘in Western North Dakota Plan to Arm Selves Against Bandits An order was issued today by Ad- jutant¢General G. A, Fraser to com manders of National Guard units in the state to issue, on request of pro- per village or bank officials U. S. Army rifles to be used in repelling bandits. . The order, following a decision re- cently to place guns at the disposal of towns, is made to facilitate the distribution of arms. Five U. S. Army rifles and not more than 60 rounds of .30 calibre ammunition may be issued to “any town or village of- ficial, whose duties include enforce- ment of law and order, or any bank official, upon authority and sanction of such peace officer.” 3 W. B. Richardson, cashier of the Farmers Exchange State Bank of Sanger, which was burglarized a few weeks ago, was the first to get an issue of guns from the state office here, He returned home today with five rifles and ammunition. It is planned, he said, to have two volun- teer watchmen each night. When the Sanger bank was burglarized the robbers were frightened away before they obtained entrance to the safe, probably when Mr. Richardson slip- ped out and left town in an automo- bile to get help, Christine, Richland county; Ege- 14nd, Towner county;, Bentley, Hett- inger county; Wildrose, Williams county, also have requested guns. INGENIOUS ALARMS Fargo, N. D.;, Aug. 19.—Ingenious alarms and prearranged signals are to figure in the defense plans now being formulated by North Dakota towns in preparing to repel possible invasions of yegg gangs or déther disturbers, it is indicated as reports continue to come in of methods adopted at various points. At Larimore an agreed upon num- ber of blasts from the whistle at the electric light plant will call into action several special officers who will have their headquarters at the plant. The blasts will be sounded when the proper alarm is turned into the plant. At a special meet- ing a police force of 12 men was ar- ranged who will be on duty during the fall months. The ringing of a huge bell at Gwiner will be the signal for the quick mobilization of 50 designated men, two of whom will be on duty each: night, taking turns. All autos and vehicles will be kept under strict surveillance. The Village of Balfour has added a night watchman and electric street lights will be kept on all night dur- ing the fall VAN HOOK ARMS Van Hook, N. D., Aug. 19.—In ac- cordance with the proclamation of the governor who urges that all vil- lages, towns and cities provide for extra protection during the fall months, on account of the increased number of crimes and the influx of ‘thousands of transients into the state for the harvest, Van Hook is making provision, or has already made it, for a night watchman to go on duty at once. A citizens’ vigilance committee is also taked of to assist in keeping the peace, as well as pygventing any interference with farm labor or such who make it a business of agitating for exorbitant wages in the harvest fields. NAME SPECIAL OFFICERS Garrison, Aug. 19.—The city coun- cil has appointed a number of the citizens here as special officers, as /a protection against bandit raids. They will be permitted to : weapons. A secret method of gi an alarm has been arranged, and in case of a raid each man has been given a certain road leading from the town to guard. a CITIZENS VOLUNTEER Hazelton, Aug. 19.—A night watch- man patrol the village every night, in an effort to guard egainst raids by bandits.

Candy Eaten by Salesman in Minot- Shown to Contain Much Deaily, Poison Minot, N. D., Aug. 19.—New and startling developments in the inves- tigation of a week which has follow- ed an attempt to poison John A. johner of Minneapolis, shirt and collar salesman, who collapsed from pparent poisoning in a Minot hab- erdashery eight days ago, include the définite location by Chemist ©, K. Allen of Minot of a large amoynt of dendly poison in one of 10 pieces ly submitted to him for ex- amination, and the discovery of the poison in a package of cookies left on the porch of Harry Russell, Reapolis, fellow employe of Sohner. Sohner, who has almost complete- ly recovered from the anonymous @ttack on his life, made by medium of a mailed package of home-made fudge, reached Minot yesterday aft- ernoon at work on his territory and was informed by long-distance tele- phone that Russell, recently, return- ed from a vacation trip, had found on his veranda a package containing home-made drop cakes, which then submitted to a Minneapolis chemist, revealed large quantities of murder- ous poi The package was labelled “for Mrs. Russell” which evidently, Min- neapolis authorities said, was a clumsy effort of an adult to imitate the handwriting of a child. Russell, suspicious because of the recent at- tempt on Sohner's life, had the con- tents analyzed. A request of postal authorities of Minneapolis to Chemist Allen that he forward samples of the candy to that city for analysis, led officials to investigate four pieces of candy, with the result that one disclosed a white substance about the size of a pea which upon being chemically tested proved to be a ‘Pwisonr>Phe pellet. was declared by Mr. Allen to approximate six grains in weight and contains enough pois- on to affect a company of soldiers, he believes. COURTESY IS ORDER OF DAY "IN LOEB CASE In Marked Contrast to the Angry Bickering Yester- day in the Court Chicago, Aug. 19.—Testimony was finished today in the case of Leopold and Loeb, confessed ‘murderers of Robert Franks.

As both sides declared their cases closed the attorneys ga- Thered before the bench and conferred. Thomas Marshall, legal expert @for the states attorney, was an- nounced as opening orator for the prosecution. A five minute recess was announced before the proceedings would begin. \ Chicago, Aug. 19—Courtesy, raised to the highest degree, marked the cross-examination today of Dr. Wil- liam 0, Krohn, state alienist and last witness in the judicial hearing which is to determine the punishment of Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb for the kidnaping and murder- ing of Robert Franks. In contrast to yesterday's proceedings when the experts and Benjamin Bacharach and counsel for the state shouted angry retorts back and forth there were smiles and “please” exchanged. The expert continually used “Sir” and “Yes Sir” and the attorney ne- ver failed to address the witness as “Doctor.” Grain Merchant Dies Suddenly Minneapolis, Aug. 19.—Seized with a heartvattack while driving, George Gackle, 59, a grain commission mer- chant died last night at a residence near whichehis automobile had stop- ped. mia Bis “Mr. Gackle was born in Russia and came to the United States w! 17 years old.

O. P. ; Causes Political Discontent | Lincoln, Neb. Aug. 19.—(By the A. P.)—Gov, Gharles W. Bryan of Nebraska in accepting the Demo- | cratic vice-presidential nomination | here last might praised the party ! platform as broad, strong and pro- |gressive enough to sutisfy the prin- farmers and wage earners work their will without dividing strength and making possible “the triumph of reaction and selfish in- might John W: Davis, the presidential nominee, and himself were termed “in harmony, with the platform upon which we have been. nominated.” The Democratic party stands as a unit, “without the intervention of faction, bloc or section,” he declared, “free from obligation to either in- dividuals or interests that would prevent it from being used to re- store confidence in government and economic, justice to the nation.” His selection as “one from the heart of the great middle west” as the vice-presidential candidate Gov. Bryan haled as the Democratic party's recognition of “the impor- tance of agriculture as one of the basic industries of the nation.” Unrest in Nation Political unrest and discontent throughout the country is a protest against the inaction of those in pub- lie office, he asserted, coupling the statement with an accusation that “failure of the Republican gdmin- istration to enforce the law against conspiracies in restraint of trade and illegal combinations of business which stifle competition has unne- cessarily, unfairly and dishonestly increased the cost of living and per- mitted the profiteer to ply his trade without let or “hindrance.” Entrance of some states into the field of commerce, in which he and the state of Nebraska were among the leaders, he attributed to “the failure of the national Republican administration to enforce the law against private monopoly.” —Al- though, he continued, millions of people in their coal, gasoline and oil bills, he did not favor such munici- } pal or state competition except when “government, officials become cor- rupt and the federal government fails to function for the protection of the masses. The alternative re- sult would be I. W. W.'s., bolsheviks and anarchy in the community and state, he declared. Outstanding Issues Gov. Bryan in discussing what he termed “a few of the outstanding issues uppermost in the minds of the people of’the great agricultural states,” included “women’s worth and equality, child welfare, the Democrat party’s interest in and support of labor, the needs of the agriculturalist, water power devel- opment, law enforcement and the outlawing of war.” The nominee expressed apprecia- tion of the desire of the citizens of Lincoln, where he has ‘made «his ciple of “equality before the law,”| and a fit instrument through which ! terest.” | dollars a year were saved to the} HERE TO BE PUT IN NEW BUILDING given to Minot and Mandan by Dr. Coe. The statue will be added to the famous Roosevelt log cubin, as ob- jects of historical interest’ connected with Theodore Roosevelt, to occupy places in the state capital. The suggestion has been advanced here by L. F. Crawford, curator of the State Historical Society, that an attempt be made to create a Roose- velt national shrine on the capitol grounds, similar to the Lincoln shrine near Hodginsville, Kentucky, and oth- er shrines of famous citizens of the nation. The Theodore Roosevelt cab- in and statue could be included int, Mr. Crawford believes. He estimates the cost of such a shrine would be $100,000 to $125,000, and contribu- tions for it could be obtained in all parts of the country. ENRAGED BULL KILLS PIONEER OF KIDDER CO.

Smith and Eric K. Nelson, the pilots, with their me- chanicians, rose early yesterday en- thused by the prospect of being off once more after the tedious wait here for favorable weather conditions and the establishment of a suitable Iand- ing place on the Greenland coast. Carrying heavy loads of fuel, as it was the intention to fly more than 800 miles across thé’ ice-infested north Atlantic to Fredericksdal, the machines refused to leave the water.
