THE BOY WT5 jiIDN'T PASS.
It's getting coolu weather,
The summer is nearly done,
Iv'e had a lot ot pleasure,
A great big heap of fun.'
But schol days soon are 'coming,
And nearly here, alas!
And I'm that little lunk-head,
The boy who didn't pass.
I told my dady about it,
He only shook his head.
I showed my card to mother.
"It's just a shame," she said.
But grandma cried, "poor laddie,"
You'll hate to miss your class.
Then teary-eyed, she kissed me.
The boy who didn't pass.
September's like an ogre
Thats coming pretty soon,
I didn't feel so dreadful
Last summer when 'twas June.
But life has lost its roses.
There's only rue and grass
And prickly thistles waiting
For the boy who didn't pass.

THE GRAND FORKS DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20, 191f.
Butter Fat: Has Increased
Frorn .50 to 65 Per
Cent.
.V&A
Fairgo, N. D., Aug. 20.—The amount
of butter fat produced by North Da
kota dairy .herds this year will show
an increaSe of from fifty to sixty-five
per cent oyer the figures for last year,
according"tq ®. A. Greenwood, assist
ant state-dairy commissioner. Com
missioner Greenwood haa just finished
an exhaustive study of conditions over
the state. In the investigation of which
he has visited hundreds of creameries
in the eastern and northern counties
in the state. The increase in amounts
of incoming butter fat in these sec
tions is equalled by the increase in
other sections, he says.
"The change in the state is a radical
one," the commissioner said. "Peo
ple are waking up to the realization of
the fact that the wheat proposition In
dollars and .cents is not a paying one.
Everywhere farmers are changing
their methods. Our department, offi
cials have police,power but they ha,ve
not been using .it except in exception
al cases of refractory creamery own
ers. Our work has been mainly edu
cational. Among all of the farmers I
have talked to, there are but two ob
jections to stock the first cost and the
anticipated labor. Farmers generally
have been satisfied with the answers
we give: *You don't need to buy any
thing but a good sire to head a com
mon herd which you can breed up,
whether it be beef, dairy, horse, sheep,
hogs or poultry' and 'you have got to
work to get anywhere.'
According to Commissioner Green
wood, two things are responsible for
the tremendous increase in the state's
dairy products. One is the plan of
maintaining a herd breeding circuit in
which herds in one township are serv.
ed by one sire bought by all of the
farmers in that section. This plan
has been adopted enthusiastically in
many townships. The other fact" fa
voring the growth of the dairy indus
try in North Dakota is the advance
of the silo. Last fall, after the last
silo was built. North Dakota had 700
silos. Silo men have been at work
over the state, in co-operation with
the Better Farming association, the
federal experts and the agricultural
college and experiment stations, with
such success that Commissioner
Greenwood predicts that there will be
1,200 silos in the state by the time
snow .flies again.
FINE VARIETY
Rust Resistant Wliojit Proves to he
Excellent Stuff.
Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 20.—Three
or four years ago James Murdock,
a farmer near Wimbledon, secured a
bushel of what is known as rust-re
sistant wheat from the state agricul
tural experiment station at Fargo.
This bushel of wheat was sowed and
carefully guarded and the seed again
used until Mr. Murdock has accumu
lated several thousand bushels of this
rust-resistant wheat, it had no other
name, a« far as known, and is a
bearded wheat. He soJd to a num
ber of farmers in his vicinity seed
of his wheat and this spring they
planted it. The result is that a num
ber of crops of /rust-proof wheat are
seen surrounded by other kind's of
grain showing the blighted effects of
rust.
Last year Mr.'Murdock is reported
to have averaged 28 bushels to the
acre of this rust-resistant variety and
14 bushels of bluestem. The former
wheat hrouprtht in the market a price
of two cents less than No. 1 northern.
The wheat is heavy, firm, stiff, stalk,
grows thick and strong, and the
...u_ sirenuous worK loiioweu. cruwn^a,
farmers who ha\e been lucky enough
!1Ro.'
to use the seed this year feel well
pleased at the result and all report
the same success. It is much better
wheat this year than the celebrated
Marquis wheat.
Among those who seeded the
wheat was Ferd Flohr, who reside.
east of Spiritwood lake. He has 60
acres of this wheat which were seeded
about May 10 nnd cut about August
1. No rust is visible on the stallis
and nearly every head is filled out
clear to the tip. The berry will be
rliRihtly shrunken on account of the
sreat heat of the season, but not
from any effects of rust. In the opin
ion of the farmers who have grown
the grain. Fritz Mutsc-hler. in t'
ame neighborhood, has 120 acrer.
and reference was made la-fvt week to
Henry Hanson's field of the same
grain. Mr. Flohr believes that he
will get 18 to 20 bushels an acre of
this wheat, while his blueptem wi!I
run less than seven bushels.
BADLY BRUISED
He was placed in an auto and
brought here immediately after the
accident. Dr. Morris being absent,
however, the injured man was taken
on to Arnegard. where his wounds
were dressed.
The accident occurred while Victor
and hi ssister were out horseback rid
ing on the Figure Four range east
of here. Victor was thrown from his
saddle when the horse he was riding
stepped in a hole and fell with him.
Before he could get his foot from the
stirrup the horse jumped up and kick
ed the prostrate young man in the
face.'

Puzyna pronounced the veto of Aus

Then, needing a "compromise" pope,
all eyes turned to Cardinal Sarto, who
at first refused, but was afterwards
induced to accept the high position,
being elected almost unanimously on
August 4, assuming the title of:
Pope Pius X, Bishop of Rome and

A Modest Pope.
The Pontificate of Pope Plus was
characterized by that spirit of modesty
which never abandoned him and by
that strong religious feeling which
made him choose as motto, "To re
store everything to Christ." The day
after'his coronation he was asked to
give orders for his private apartment
in the Vatican, and while he urged
the then young Monslgnore Merry del
Val, his pro-secretary of state, to oc
cupy the gorgeous Borgia apartment,
he himself chose four small rooms In
the low-ceilinged suite above the state
apartment of the Pontiff, which under
Leo XIII. had been occupied by' his
private secretary, Mgr. Angell.
Plus X. desired to give himself up
entirely to his work. In so doing he
did not spare any fatigue, and giving
audiences, admitting people to large

From Castelfranco he passed in

in 1858, at the age of 26, was ordain

Tombolo. In 1867 he had his first
parish of importance, that of Salzano,
where he remained for eleven years.

Father Sarto contributed largely to

His eloquence led to his being called

Relations Were Cordial.
While such serious crisises were tak
ing place between the Vatican and
some of the Latin countries, which
had been known in history as the most
faithful of the Holy See, the relations
with Italy, while maintaining in the
outside form the usual character of
hostility, were in substance much
more cordial.
It would take long to enumerate ail
the reforms of a religious character
initiated by Pius X., such as that of
restoring the Gregorian chants, of
preaching every Sunday from a text
from the Bible, himself giving the
good example by having as long as
his strength allowed him. the faithful

he had professed and advocated as

mark in the history of the Papacy
the codification of ecclesiastic law. He
entrusted to the work to an Illustrious
scholar in Canon Law, Mgr. Pietro
Gasparri, on whom he conferred the
Red Hat in December, 1907. Another
epoch-making task was that of the re
vision of the Vulgate, which he con
fided to Father Francis Aidan Gas

Benedictine congregation, so well
known as a learned historian.
Condemned Modernists.
Pius X. was determined to restore
the most iron discipline among the
clergy, and this led to an unrelenting
campaign against that section of ec
clesiastics who professed unorthodox
opinions and were called Modernists.
The encyclical promulgated on Sep
tember 8, 1907, condemned the Mod
ernists and their doctrines.
Following this several leaders of the
Modernist movement were excommun
icated in Italy, England and Germany.
The Pope displayed even greater en
ergy on November 18, 1907, when he
reaffirmed the necessity of combatting
by every possible means the spirit of
rebellion, and ordered the bishops to

Aroused Storm of Protest.
The Pontiff roused a storm of oppo
sition, to himself entirely unexpected,
by his encyclical against the Protest
ants in general and those of the Ger
man Reformation in particular, on
the occasion of the centennial of St.
Charles Borromeo.
Another very Important reform due
to Pius X. is that of the Roman Curia,
which was still ruled by the Bull of
Sixtus V. of January, 1588. With this
he reformed the offices, the ecclesias
tical courts, and the Roman congre
gations, withdrawing America, Can
ada, Newfoundland, Great Britain,
Holland and Luxembourg, from the
jurisdiction of Propaganda Fide, re
moving them therefore from among
the missionary countries and putting
them, together with the rest of the
Catholic world, under the Conslstorial
