Editor: I again take the opportunity to write a few lines to your paper in regard to N. D. I have been very busy in the past harvesting and threshing. lam now plowing, I am getting $1.25 to $1 50 per acre. I plow from three to four acres a day. We had it very dry here this summer, but have plenty of rain now. Since it has turned cool we have had frost which probably killed the potatoes and corn; we had a stinger and froze considerable ice. It has been nice weather since but is very rainy to day. Our crops have been light this year. W heat went from sto 26 bn. to the acre. The estimated average of the country is 12 bn. pt i acre. Outs ami barley’ were nearly a failure. Potatoes are a light crop. I have part of mine dug and will have about 100 bushels of very nice potatoes. Our cabbage, turnips and beets are still growing. lam still of the opinion that this is the country for a poor man to get a home as I like the summer much better here then I did in Indiana or Ohio. Don't know anything about the winter. Will tell you all about it as we get to it. Mr. Leonard Logan, of LaPaz, Ind., was here. He has । filed on 160 acres within three miles of my claim. He made a thorough in vestgation of North Dakota. Anybody wishing any information may do well to see him, as he saw 7 more of North Dakota in the short time he was here than I have seen since I have lived here, as I have been very busy all summer and had no time to see much <’f the country. There will be two ex cursiou trains from your town, Walkertown, on 27th of September and one ’ Oct. 9, which will be a good time to ' come arid see this country. We expect i six weeks of good weather yet to plow I in, which w ill put farmers in good shape for the spring. Yours Truly, 11. W. Ford. Indiana in the Front Rank.

For some strange and unaccountable reason the residents of the entire United States have long been a unit in their denunciation and ridicule of “the Hoosier"—that is, the people of Indiana, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Enward Eggleston unpatriotically helped fix the stigma in the “Meanses” and other uncivilized types of the “Hoosier Schoolmaster,” to which Maurice Thompson gave a feeble substantiation in his farfetched little ‘Hoosier Mosaics.” Riley's dialect verse, whatever the critics may say, has not raised the public estimate of I

। the state, and consequently it remains ° in bad repute among its sister commonwealths. r And yet, in his own lazy and non* • chalent fashion, the Hoosier goes ' quietly along and does things about which other people do a vast amount 5 of talking to no purpose. It is to be born in mind always Unit Indiana was one of the very first states ‘ in the Union—thanks to the efforts of Robert Dale Owen and Iho New Hurmony comm unity to modify and liber alize its laws respecting the property lights of women, of married women especially. It now maiutains public kindergartens as a part of the educa Hoiml system, which progressive Illinois has yet failed to accomplish. For several years, while the incurable insane of some other states have been chained like wild beasts in filthy cells in almshouses, hospitals with every modern equipment, a large stuff of skilled physicians ami nurses have cared for the same class of unfortunates in Indiana. Dedication of Trinity Presbyterian Church, South Bend. Lust Sunday in the city of South Bend there was dedicated one of the most beautiful church edifices that northern Indiana can boast of or taki pride in. Ho refer to the Dew Presbyterian church. Its pastor is the Rev, O. li. Prentice, so well remembered ' and held in high esteem by llm people of Wulktiton, where he w stationed , for two years. The public began to gather at ten o’clock in the nnditmium of the church and ho rapidly did it fill that when the organ voluntary rolled out, every regu lar seat was occupied besides mam others supplied for (he occasion. The singing was led by the tine Trinity choir of then voices. Dr. Johnson read for the scripture lesson the first five verses of th> thirty sixth chapter of IW bis. 1 । his text bl •< bcGM the fl I 4 pill tof til., fifth verse of the eighty seventh psalm. The doctor opened his sernu n l>v extending to the Trinity church tie warmest salutation and congrafuia fions fiom himself and his church Dr. Johnson closed Ins s. rmon with a fervent appeal to his own chinch, tie business men ami the Mirr u di / community to aid this church in vain ing a linn foothold and a g od 1 gin uing in its now house of worship. It I was a good and poweiful sermon, and proved to be a gieat aid in raising the debt resting iq u thj church. Rev. 8. C. Dicker, Supt . of 11 ;n . j Missions for the Presbyterian eh uch in Ind., then made a fimnuial state I mentofthe condition of the Tiiritx j congregation. lie remarked in b. ' ginning that if reminded him < f th. ■ Irishman who ran down the street crying that his fiiend Pat was in I danger, that he was in the water up t his heels. Whim a pass<rb\ remarked ' that he could not be in anv great peril : with an inch or two of water aiound his feet the Irishman replied : “Oh, and bejabers, but his head is down- j ward.” Rev . Dickey said the I rii.it ' congregation was up to its heels in debt. It had built an edifice costing * eight thousand dollars and was sis thousand dollars in bebt. It seemed ! au almost impossible amount to raise, । but at 11:30 he began and in one hour and a quarter it was forthcoming. But the Hood of pledges aud cash could not be stemmed aud when summed up and the morning offering included it was found to have reached the magnificent ! amount of 6,378 96. The largest subscriptions were: J. j IM. Studthaker, $2,000; Presbyterian) board of church erection, $ 1,00(1; Trinity Ladies Aid Sociotv, Sabbath I school ami C. E. Society SSOO. The i j remainder consisted of one hundred, fifty, twenty -live, ten and live dollar amounts.

The services closed with the dedicating prayer, a grand thanksgiving an them and the benediction by Rev. Prentice. The audience dispersed aftei tender ing the members of the church their heartiest congratulations, for which they manifested their deep uppreciatlon • Repobter. An exquisite assortment of jets at Millards. Jetted birds, jetted tips, and jetted wings. And the new jet peak ornaments are fine. There are ■ jet buckles and stars that will be worn in everything. It is to be decidedly a , jet season. 1

It ranks next to mahogany in value. There is not much dillicußy in transplanting the young trees. The Breeder's Gazette is of the opinion that the world is fearfully ।u . erproducod in wheat ^nch supplies have never before beedin sight. We ’ have bet >re us an appeal in m a North Dakoto wheat grower begging us to urge every wheat farmer to reduce his acreage at least 10 per cent. The Gazette does not discuss wheat farm- ! ing except, in an incidental way. The general agricultural press should deal i w ith the subject. Nearly every far- . mer has a wheat field, and for some inexplicable reason the acreage seems 'to have been increased last year in face of the threat of just such a condition as now confronts us. A vear of unusually fertile fields and favorable conditions yielded an almost tinheard- | ol harvest and now it, is a drug on the : market which staggers under the burden of the surplus. .The Gazette is . ' doing its part to get farmers to reduce their stocks without, throwing them on an already overloaded market. The i i logic of the situation will certainly i iorce (hem to reduce their acreage of ■ wheat another year.
