IN ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION IN N. D. Fall Feed Assured But Winter Feed Is Necessary to Keep Animals From Market Fargo, N. D., Aug. 17.—North Da- kota livestock men reporting to the Office of the agricultural statistician Aug. 1, state cattle and sheep as well as ranges are in above average con- dition. In only a few of the north- west counties are there localities where late grass has not been im- proved by July rains to such an ex- tent as to provide ample grazing dur- ing the fall months for the small numbers of livestock still on hand. Late millet and other emergency feed crops were planted in these areas but grasshoppers are moving in on the crops and are likely to leave little or nothing to be harvested for winter feed. Throughout much of the west por- tion of the state fall feed is assured, but hay and grain for winter feeding must either be shipped in or livestock shipped out. Some cattle are already going to market, while others have been moved to territory further east where feed supplies are available. In the eastern part of the state, in- cluding a part of the north central counties, feed supplies will be ample to carry all livestock now on hand through the winter. Whether this will be done depends on how largely crops will supply the necessary in- come with which to finance farm operations. Where rust and hoppers reduce the crop production materi- ally, some marketing of both cattle and sheep will be done especially with prices at present high levels. Where- THE BISMARCK _T. Target for Japanes Shelled in retaliation for a skirmish with Japanese troops near Peiping, the Yuanping police station, headquarters of China’s 29th Route Army on which the city depended for defense, lies in ruins. The direct hits scored on the building’s walls are a tribute to the accuracy of the invaders’ ever possible, in this territory, the tendency will be to hold on to stock now on hand with the. purpose of building up numbers to s more nearly normal point. Ranges declined one point in con- dition since July 1 to 77 per cent of normal. This compares with 46 per cent a year ago, and with 74.2 per cent, the 10-year average. Cattle held the gains made during earlier months and still have @ con- dition of 84 per cent of normal, the same as on July 1, but 11 points above @ year ago. The 10-year average condition is 82.4 per cent. Sheep gained one point in condi- tion, going up from 85 to 86 per cent. Last year their condition Aug. 1 was 77 per cent, and the 10-year average is 84.5 per cent. Ranges continued very good through July in the higher sections and in the states west of the Continental Divide, except for parts of California and Arizona. East of the main range, feed is good in the foothill areas of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. The Western Great Plains area of Eastern Montana, the Western Dakotas, Western Nebraska and Kansas, Western Oklahoma, and Northern Texas has poor to fair Tanges and pastures, with a general decline in condition. Ranges are very good and above average in Washing- ton, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Ne- vada.

A relic of Bismarck’s pioneer days, the iron belonged to Joseph C. Dodge, early rancher and prominent Mason here who was killed by Indians on & trip to the Black Hills, according to William A. Falconer, Bismarck’s old- est living male resident and an author- ity on the city’s early history. It was later owned by William McCrory, who farmed the same property Dodge's death.

Throughout the forenoon roadways converging here were choked with traffic and occasional airplanes dotted the skies as thousands of visitors ar- rived, - There were more than three score of bands, drum “corps, floats and marching units in line. 3 Janitor Found Choked To Death in Elevator St. Paul, Aug. 17—()—Dr. C. A. Ingerson, Ramsey county coroner, is in investigating the mysterious death: of George W. Hughes, 67 years old, whose body was found Tuesday with the neck wedged between automatic elevator doors. Hughes was a aller ae the sore department at Como shops of the Northern Pacific railway. Fellow employes found his body. He apparently had been choked to Hills, The party left from Cook, in the Hills. The trip was made in 70 hours. They brought back splendid specimens of gold which were put on display in the Capital Hotel (now the Gold lot). About May Ist, 1876, Dodge, William McCrory, a brother-in-law of Dodge, also a member of the Bismarck Ma- sonic lodge, Belmont Clark, John Leasure, and others, about 25 in all, with twelve teams loaded with sup- Plies, left Bismarck for the Black Hills. On this second trip Joe Dodge, as he was known by all early Bismarck people, was killed by the Indians be- fore the party reached Crook City. Dodge and McCrory were taking & bunch of cows to the Hills to start a milch ranch, and at their last camp- ing place before reaching the Hills, one of the men employed by Dodge neglected to bring in a new-born calf with the balance of the herd. Dodge gave the herder a good raking-over and then. got on his pony and went back alone to get the calf. A mile or so after leaving camp, the In- dians jumped him and killed him. In 1874 Dodge farmed on Apple Creek and after his death, William McCrory started a milch ranch, own- ing the land afterwards known as the Mrs. Bryan racetrack. Frank Don- nelly, who drove the milk wagon for McCrory, married Dodge's widow, Carrie McCrory Dodge, in 1877.

Method of Controlling Disease Believed Found After Tests on Monkeys New York, Aug, 17.—(%)—Dr, Sid- ney David Kramer, director of the in- fantile paralysis commission of the Long Island College of Medicine, said Tuesday science is prepared, for the first. time in history, with what it hopes will be a method of protection against the disease, “Although there is still much ex- periment to be done before we can say definitely that an effective method of control has been found, there is no doubt but that science has made im- portant advances along this line dur- ing the past few months,” said Dr. Kramer, who formerly was associated after! with poliomyelitis (infantile peraly- sis) research at Harvard university. “Tests with nose sprays on the) rhesus monkey, only member of the animal kingdom that reacts to infan- tile paralysis in the same way as hu- man beings, have given hopeful re- sults. We know that the polimoye- litis virus enters through a tiny door in the nose where are exposed the hairline endings of nerves that lead to the brain. Therefore, we have been seeking a method of blockading this little door in the nose against the infantile paralysis germ.” A report from the U. 8. Public Health service recently said the cur- rent number of infantile paralysis cases of the nation is higher than at any time during the last five year. M’Kinnon to Attend Rapid City Meeting A. D.

White said the boy's denials weakened later in the day, however, and in the after- noon White said he sobbed: “I did it.” The sheriff said the boy then dic- tated and signed a 75-word confes- sion in the presence of Deputy Sher- iff H. M. Nairchild, and two Prairie Du Chien business men.
