fc|«H MOI EIQHT TEDDY REGISTERS AS FROM MEDORA Unheralded and unannounced ex President Theodore Roosevelt called at the North Dakota building at the Panama-Pacific International exposi- came out in short, jerky sentences, but although the words were short they were none the less expressive. Upon stepping into the building he remark ed, "I just want to take a little peep at the building representing the state in which I once lived." He was es corted about the building, met all the attaches, saw all the exhibits, asked questions, and before leaving express ed himself as more than pleased with his short visit. Col. Roosevelt has been a very busy man since coming to the exposition city, with social, political and other engagements occupying his mind and time, but when asked what buildings and exhibits he wished to visit, he mentioned among a very few the North Dakota building. So at 4 o'clock Fri day he was brought with his escort to our building. He was first shown a beautiful pen nant from Medora, Col. Roosevelt's home while he resided in our state. The pennant was sent to the building by the Woman's Needle club of that city, and when asked whether there was a needle club in Medora when he lived there the colonel said, "no, in deed—no needle club," and the Roose velt smile mantled his face as he said it. As he was escorted through the exhibits of grain, clay and other pro ducts on display in the building he made repeated expressions of praise for North Dakota and lis exhibit. "This is great—great," he would say. And when shown the beautiful corn and grain exhibit he said most enthus iastically, "they didn't raise corn when I was there and no flax, but this is fine, wonderful." When shown the pottery exhibit he asked, "Just where is this pottery made?" He seemed greatly interested to know the school of mines at the state university had developed this re source so well. Before leaving the building, and at Sec. Holbein's request, Col. Roosevelt registered in the North Dakota regis ter, saying as he did so, "De-light-ed will be pleased to do so," and when thanked for his courtesy he remarked, "It was indeed a pleasure." And that isn't all—he registered as "Theodore Roosevelt, of Medora, North Dakota." Alfred Zuger, formerly assistant at torney general of the state of North Dakota, arrived at the North Dakota building last week from Seattle, where he attended the shrine meet ing. He was more than agreeably sur prised at the appearance of the North Dakota building and its contents, and feels the state will receive a great deal of valuable advertising by its par ticipation in the exposition. Mr. Zu ger meta member of old North Dako ta friends while at the building. Col. R. C. Wynn, of Sherwood, ar rived in San Francisco the latter part of last week in time to attend several sessions of the International Purity congress of which he was a delegate from North Dakota. Of course, he came to the North Dakota building the first thing, as Col. Wynn is one of the most consistent and floaest boost ers North Dakota has within its con fines. Besides being one of the state's best railroad men, he is the organizer and prime mover in the NOn-Sweating Knights, which organization has a very large membership-all over the country. Col. Wynn had an idea he could do some good along this line in San Francisco, but after spending an eve ning on Market street and listening to the lurid and varied convex sation of Hon. John Burke, treasurer of the United States, and former governor of North Dakota, who has been visit ing the exposition city for the past two weeks on official business, left for Washington, last Thursday evening. En route Mr. Burke will visit his fam ily and friends in Devils Lake, N. D. During his stay in San Francisco Mr. Burke's official business prevented his attending many social functions. Among the few invitations he accept ed was one to a luncheon given by the San Francisco commercial club on July 22, at which time he was the guest of honor. Following the luncheon Mr. Burke gave what was unanimously de clared "the best talk of the year." He was introduced by Pres. Phillip Teller as "Hon. John Burke, treasurer of the United States." 3fr. Teller remarked "John Burke's popularity in North Da .kota is best evidenced by the fact he was three times elected to the gover norship of that state," then added, ADUiy v& tuair oimva & -1% A "and North Dakota isn't a democratic state, either." Mr. Burke spoke first of the relationship between legislation and business. He assured the business men the former no longer hampered the latter since the supreme court of the United States has interpreted the Sherman, Clayton and- Covington bills in the Standard Oil and tobacco cases, as interfering with only those busi- nesses tion last Friday afternoon, and his ex-1 substantially" in restraint of trade, clamation of surprise and wonder Thls which are 'unreasonably and leaves all honest enterprise free to almost unlimited expansion and de velopment. The speaker then turned to the even more vital topic of war and peace. He declared himself an ardent Advocate of peace, but added "if war is necessary I believe in being prepared for it." He then dwelt on the effect of the great European strug gle on our own country. "Some busi ness enterprises," he said, "must suf fer, other will flourish, according to their nature." It remains for the lat ter to help the former to tide over this period of depression. Europe is now borrowing money—they will spend it for only those things they most need —as food supplies. We in North Da kota, for example, can feed them with our corn, wheat, other grains and food products so it is up to us to help you other fellows along who have not these necessary articles and who haven't a ready market for what you have. will close," said the speaker, "by quoting from the Bible—that seems to be the proper thing to do these days. I quote not from Ezekiei, nor any of those ancient and time-worn prophets, but from a greater, modern, and more vital prophet—the Nazarene Himself—Blessed be the peace-mak ers, for they shall inherit the earth.'" During the month of August three colleges will hold their reunions at the North Dakota buildipg at the San Francisco exposition. During the first week in August the North Dakota Ag ricultural college will hold its re union, and it is expected President John Worst will be here to meet old students of that institution. The same week the South Dakota state college located at Brookings, will hold its re union at the North Dakota building. Prof. Mathews of that college will be present during the week to greet the old students of the institution. The last reunion of the month will be held by the alumni of the North Dakota state university. Pres. F. L. McVey has asked for the week of Aug. 16-23, He will be here to meet all former stu dents of the 'university. It is hoped all former students of the colleges named in San Francisco at the time stated above will make it a point to come to the North Dakota building and meet their old schoolmates and the high repre sentatives of the colleges who will be here at that time. A wealthy San Francisco lady drove up to the North Dakota building the other day in her limousine, and pro ceeded to sketch the outlines of the building, explaining she was going to build a villa near the city and wanted to have it a reproduction of the North Dakota building, for she considered it the most beautiful piece of architec ture on the exposition grounds. Com ing from a lady who has ample means to build anything she wants makes this a pretty compliment to the arch itect of the building and the North Da kota commission. Hon. Chas. Grow, of Minot, who has been attending the exposition, has been spending a great deal of his time studying the good roads problem, as there is no other man in North Dako ta who takes more interest in this question than Mr. Grow. There is am ple opportunity to get wised up on this subject here at the exposition and about San Francisco, for a great deal of attention has been paid to this one item, and the roads in this part of California are perfect, although built at an expense that would stagger the ,. average North Dakotan. It is safe to the passersby he made up his mind the job was too big for him to tackle. He says North Dakota is in the midst of the biggest boom in its history, and attributes some of it to the magnifi cent display at the exposition. A say that Mr. Grow will take some valu- able information back home with him. MOTHER OF FINGAL MAN PASSES AWAY IN IOWA Fingal Herald: D. W. Price return ed Monday evening from Mount Ayr, Iowa, where he was called last week by the serious illness of his mother, Mrs. Edith Price. Mr. Price arrived there on Tuesday to find his mother had died the day before. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon. De ceased was 74 years and six months at the time of her death, which was caused by cancer of the stomach. Many friends extend sympathy to Mr. price. GOOD TIME AT FARM HOME Fingal Herald: About 200 people went out to the beautiful farm of G. E. Gustafson Thursday to participate in the bounteous dinner served at 6 o'clock. The social was given for the benefit of the Norwegian Lutheran church and Mr. and Mrs. Gustafson feel very much elated over the results. The net proceeds amounted to $24.86. StJ l'// AI Tuesday morning at 9:46 there was a large gathering of people at the depot. The band played several stirring selections and he was evidently pleas ed to see the large crowd at the sta tion, where 15 minutes were spent in greeting old friends, some of them who had known and voted for him when they lived in Wisconsin. He took a half hour of fresh air in a run about the city in Mayor Platou's car, and then retured to take a little rest for the afternoon meeting. An auto parade formed at 1:30 near the American National Bank corner to show "Bob" the wheat fields. The FARGO FAIR WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL Fargo, Aug. 1.—The passing of 25, 000 people from the grounds within four hours, leaving only the showmen to pack their belongings, told a por tion of the successful end of the fair. "The fair was a huge success in every particular," said Secretary Nash yesterday afternoon just after the close of the races. Other officials ex pressed gratification at the showing and especially the attendance of the last day. Secretary Snelson, of the Montana state fair, said last evening at the Waldorf hotel, that he didn't think Fargo could accommodate that size of a crowd. Alex Sloan, starter of the races, said he will always remem ber the 1915 Inter-State fair at Fargo, and especially its officials. The livestock, the poultry, the cat tle, the horses, school, fancy work and agricultural exhibits, besides the 56 displays in the booths at the Pavilion attracted thousands and every one was commendable. Special attraction was that of the machinery and the auto mobiles, the first to attract the eye of the spectators upon entering the grounds. The exhibits and displays in every particular, equaled that at the North Dakota state fair held in Grand Forks the week previous. The horse racing seen for four days was the fastest and closest heated races of any pulled off on the track. Several expressed disappointment in the fact that there were no running races, but the class of horses shown in the trotting and pacing events was the best that the Northwest could hope to see. Many of the horses will appear on the Minnesota state fair program in September. The attendance for the week is esti mated at 64,0000. Tuesday 6,000 Wednesday, 9,000 Thursday, 14,000 Friday, 10,000, and Saturday, 25,000. visiting with her friend Miss Orelle Olmsted, at Mono..a, la., returned on Misses Anna and Clara Johnson THE WEEKLY TIMES-RECORD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 19tS. gfc MANY OLD FRIENDS GREET SENATOR LAFOLLETTE1NTH1S CITY TUESDAY On the arrival of Senator LaFollette pilot car was driven by Chief of Po- have moved from the Hubberstad *or ^er avenue.

Many farmers believe that the aver age native hay meadow is no longed an asset because tame hay plants yield so much more. If this be true in regard to a native hay meadow in good condition, how much more true must it be of a native pasture less than 50 per cent normal. The conclusion so far then is that a large number of na tive pastures which can be plowed and which have grown more or less to weeds, become a liability rather than an asset. There is a practical method for the improvement of such pastures used somewhat in North Dakota. If a man has say ten acies of fenced pasture, the amount of such pasture which he wants to improve can be manured, and then broken when in good condition for such work, say in June. Discing and harrowing the land will put it in fair condition'. Further work on the land may be needed in the fall and again in the spring following, prepara tory to seeding. The pasture is to be seeded to a mixture of brome grass and alfalfa. Care should be taken to secure a good brome seed free from quack. This is a matter of much importance. The alfalfa seed should be the Grimm, or equal to that in hardiness. The rate of seeding may be at the rate of 15 pounds of brome and two or three pounds of alfalfa seed per acre. It is best to seed without a nurse crop and seeding is perhaps best accomplished by means of a wheelbarrow, type of broad cast seeder, followed up by the peg-tooth harrow. In following this method the stock may remain on both the old and new pasture during the first and following seasons. If the foregoing work be well done the farmer will find the carrying ca pacity of the new pasture to»be several times that of the old and the new pas ture will become an important asset of the farm.

The pastures have been overstocked and as a result the grasses in the pasture have decreased in quantity while certain native plants, particu larly the small sages, have become very abundant. This holds true in any locality indeed, it is not difficult to find pastures where the useless native plants—useless from a grazing stand point, compose 75 per cent or more of the total vegetation. Certainly such pastures are carried at a decided loss CAN STOP TRADE ENGLAND INSISTS Washington, Aug. 2. —Three notes, two from Great Britain and one from Germany dealing with the commercial right of neutral nations in war times, were before Secretary of State Lan sing tonight. Arrangements are being made for their publication simultan eously iriS^rope and America in ac cordance with diplomatic request. The British notes will probably be given out for publication Wednesday morn ing and the German note on the follow- The first British note is a long com munication, defending the allies' ef forts to suppress trade between their enemies and neutral countries even by the stoppage of normal commerce through the neutral countries of Eu rope and adjecent to the Teutonic al lies. The precedeht of the internation al law established by the United States government itself during the Civil war in order to cut off supplies from the Confederate states, is cited to support this version of rights. The note has long been in preparation and since ft was dispatched con ditions arose that lead the British to amplify its arguments and these are contained in the second note. The last note of the series is in re ply to the American caveat of July 17 stating the the United States would be governed only by principles of in ternational law in the cases of the de tention of American ships and goods and would not recognize the order In council. The British foreign office holds that the order in council complies with the spirit of international law although they make new application on these principles to suit the new conditions developed by the war. The German note, containing the discussion over the William T. Frye incident, contends that not only by international law but by special pro visions of the treaty of 1882 between the United States and Prussia is its side upheld. The note makes no sub stantial change from the previous stand taken by the Germans, it is un derstood. PLOW SHARE DRIVEN THROUGH MAN'S FACE Marion, N.
