The assassination of the Archduke of Austria is a bigger historical event than any similar royal or political xnur der for a century. It recalls the use of the assassin in the national wars of less scrupulous ages. Modern assas einations of rulers have usually had class or social inspiration, or onne but that of a disordered mind. They have been aimed at monarchy, at govern ment at law and order, at organized society. The inspiration of this one is national, in a broad sense radical It Is a burst of misguided patriotism. The mortal hatred of Austria that thrilled Italy in the last Century now burns in some of the Balkan states. The Austrian Empire of disjointed states and clashing races, pushed back from the West, has crept to the East and South, trying to win unity by con cession of parliamentary autonomy to Hungary and Bohemia, and to gain power by expansion to the Mediter ranean over the ruins of the Turkish Empire at the cost of Slavic and Greek aspirations for nationality and union. The strain upon its imperfect organ, ization has been resisted by the tact and wisdom of the old Emperor Franz Josef and the love and loyalty of his subjects. The Archduke had been counted on to resist the strain, when bis time came by greater force ot character and power of rule. So far as the inevitable conflict of the spirit of nationality with the spirit of empire could not be pushed off till be was Emperor, he has been the in spiration in government and the ap pointed leader in secret diplomacy of the Imperial and Hapsburg cause. One party admired, the other hated him for the brusk annexation of the Slavic provinces, the mobilization menace of the Balkan War, and the tearing up of its earned rewards which brought a second war and threatened a third. Servia hated him most, be cause his policy denied it fruitation ts dearest hopes. The Archduke dies as the pretorian guard of Servia slew Prince Michael King Alexander and Queen Draga. It is far from the first tragic event in this Hapsburg generation to Teveal the strain of barbaric passion that runs through all the group of unhappy States that lie along the Danube, striv Ing against the rule of force and crav ing union of race in self-government: OLD SETTLERS PROGRAM. Unique and full of interest for every old settler of Barnes county, as well as for the general public, will be the program of the County Association which will hold its big picnic this year on next Wednesday afternoon at the Chautauqua grounds. Next Wednes day is Old Settler's Day, and Mrs. J. E. Featherstone, in charge of the pro gram, has arranged for some stunts •which are "different." It is impossible to tell, in brief space waht they are, in detail, but suffice it to say that no one should miss this program. NORTHWEST FARMERS GATHER AT DULUTH Duluth, Minn., July 1.—Hundreds of farmers of North Dakota are in Duluth, invited there as the guests of the zenith city. Hundreds of farm ers gathered in Fargo last night en route to the head of the lakes, and it is said that over 100 tickets were sold from Fargo alone. A large number left Fargo last night, extra coaches being provided on all trains. The entertainment con-' tlnues today and tomorrow and is en tirely social, business being left on the farm. This morning a reception committee met all trains and escorted the guests to th? hotels, where reservations bad been made for them. All entertaln mnt, including meals, is provided by the board of trade. This afternoon a visit was made to the board while in session and to the state inspection department to see how the grain is sampled and inspect ed( then to the elevators to see it loaded and weighed, and then to the docks, where it is put into ships for distribution to the consumers. Tomorrow the visitors will be given a boat ride on the lake and an auto ride about the city and to the hill top where the famous view is obtained. Exhibition flights by the aero-plane, Lord o' the Lakes, will be another feature. In the evening a great ban quet will be held at the commercial club, which will be addressed by prom inent business men and farmers. Farmers Hear Equity Leaders CO-OPERATION URGED AS ONLY METHOD BY WHICH OUR FARMERS CAN GET JUST RETURNS. Speakers representing the American Society of Equity and the Equity Co operative Grain Exchange addressed two audiences at the auditorium yes terday. While the audiences were not as large as expected on Equity Day, both meetings were interesting and the Equity speakers were listened to with interest. In the morning M. P. Johnson of Donnybrook, president of the North Dakota Union, American Society of Equity, was the speaker. Mr. John son directed his talk mainly to the boys and young men in the audiences calling attention to the need of better schools in rural districts and making a strong plea for conditions which will make farm life more profitable and more attractive. Mr. Johnson called attention to the fact that very few farmers compara tively, make a profit at farming. He declared that most retired farmers were able to retire only because of the increase in the value of thier land. Their farming operations brought them only a fair living, he declaredj Co-operative selling of farm products is a remedy for the condition, he said. In the afternoon a much larger au dience heard Benjamin Drake, of Min neapolis, attorney for the Equity Co operative Exchange, talk of "Gamb ling in Grain Markete.*" Mr. Drake is a fluent, forceful speaker and be des cribed practices 'which be ascribed to the Chamber of Commerce in dealing with farmers grain in no uncertain terms. The final speaker of me day was George S. Loftus, the sales manager of the Equity Co-operative Exchange and one of the most prominent men in the Equity movement. Mr. Loftus theme was "Co-operation" and he as cribed the work which is being done by the Equity Society and the Equity Exchange to promote better conditions for the farmers and make more profit for the mr- who raise the grain. He declared that only through Co-operation can the farmer make a real success of farming and urged the farmers attending the Chautauqua to think over the work which is being done by the Equity Society and the Equity Exchange for their benefit. WANT ROOM& Owing to the large number of visi tors who will be Valley City to at tend the Chautauqua and the fair next week, rooms are at a premium and it has been difficult to secure sleeping room for those who will come to tbe city to attend the Press Association which will be held on Friday and Sat urday, next week. It is expected that about two hundred and perhaps more visitors will be here to attend this meeting, and anyone having room for one or more of these visitors will con fer a favor by calling either the Cour ier or the Times-Record, so that a re cord may be kept of the rooms avail able when the time comes to use them. Only sleeping room is required as the visitors will board at the cafes or hotels down town. Play Grounds For The Smaller City Playgrounds which will provide plen ty of healthful, innocent ftin for the children, are being advocated in near ly every community. Many smaller cities have planned for playgrounds only to find the cost of apparatus pro hibitive. Up at Cooperstown, one of the progressive little cities of the state, they have worked out an idea of home made playground apparatus which is saving money and providing the children of the community with a well equipped playground which has almost become a community center. As a leader in the Cooperstown work Rev. Mr. Bucxwalter who is camping at Chautauqua with his fam ily, has solved the problem of the well equipped playground for the small city. An old steam boiler, abandoned gas pipe, an old wagon wheel, and material of like nature have provided the equipment for tbe Cooperstown playground. At the request of the Daily Chautauquan, Rev. Mr. Buck waiter has promised to tell our read ers how the playground apparatus was made. In a brief article which is to be published in an early issue, Mr. Buck ground at Cooperstown was equipped with elides, a merry-go-round, trapese waiter will describe how the play bars, sand lots, teter, and all the oth er apparatus for healthful, interesting childhood sport at a cost which has been less than the $150 appropriated by the city council for the work. Read Mr. Buckwalter's description and then get a playground for your own community. THI WEEKLY TIMEt-RECORD, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1914.

More than twenty ministers representing some ten different denominations were found on the grounds yesterday. Many have their families with them and form an important percentage of Chau tauqua patrons. In order that ideas may be exchang ed and views expressed and formed a pastor's conference will be held on Friday forenoon at 10:30 just following the Bible study hour.

STRAUS LABEL CLOTHES ARE OF PROVEN WORTH $15.00 TO $30.00 We Give Trading Stamps TODAY ENDS FISCAL YEAR UNDER DENS Washington. July 1.—Today marks the close fthe first full fiscal year under the democratic administration. Figures made public show that up to and including last Saturday the gov ernment's receipts had been $694, 505,007.23, as against $699,084.60 for the corresponding period of the last fiscal year. Monday and yesterday will add heavy receipts especially in corpor ation and income tax assessments which are delayed until the last mo ment. Receipts for corporation and income taxes aggregate $6,627,566.24 Saturday, making the total collections from those sources for the year up to that date $32,285,686.97. The treas| ury department estimate of the amount to be derived from those taxes is $75,000,000, and the experience of last year, repeated the final day for payment will bring in half the total assessments. Figures including Saturday's re ceipts show the amount of money col lected from customs as $290,891,266.65 1 as against $316,3*38,572.03 last year for the corresponding period. The inter nal revenue collections from ordinary sources so far this year aggregate $306 267,126.87 compared with $303, 560,624.98 for the preceding year. From miscellaneous sources the re ceipts were $57,210,207.42 against $60, 651,588.54 for last year. The estimate of Secretary McAdoo of the receipts for this fiscal year, made in his annual report last year, was $733,000,000. Delay in the pay ment of income tax will doubtless make it impossible to obtain a definite figure on the governments income for some time. The total assessment re turned on personal income tax is $30, 750,000, or $23,250,000 less than Mr. McAdoo expected to derive from that source. While all these assessments probably will be paid promptly tbere will be some delay in'prosecuting the tax dodgers from whom Mr. McAdoo expects to collect enough to make up the difference between his estimate and returns made by tax-payers. A number of boys from Carrington have arrived and pitched camp. They are enjoying themselves and think Chautauqua a great spot for a good time.

It has been asked us several times "How can you afford to give away that beautiful $400.00 Upton Parlor Grand Piano, as you advertise you will do?" Our Answer We prefer to sell 100 articles at a profit of ten cents each, rather than 10 articles'at a profit of one dollar each. It means just ninety more people patronizing our store. The only reason for our being in business is to do business. This means that we must bring the people to our store. Low prises and good values will bring us cu*. tomers always. Our giving away this piano is simply to bring addi tional business to our store and it is doing it, every day. It pays you and us. CITY DRUO STORE "The Store of Better Values" N.
