WILL TEST THE ALTON
RULE,

Walsh County Record: \ writ Of
mandamus was served on the school
board last Saturday by Waldo Blood
gett to compel said board to allow his
daughter Ruth to attend school. Gray
4 McMurchie represent the board.
The case will come up before Judge
Sauter at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The difficulty grows out Of
the order by the state and county
boards of health in regard to %vaccina-
ton. The school board acting under
the direction Of the boards OF health
issued an order that r. child should
be permitted TO enter school this fall
without a certificate of successful vac
cination. Mr.. Bloodgett, not believing
in vaccination in general, refused to
have his child vaccinated, and applied
for her admission to the schools. This
was Of course refused, hence the case,
The board acted under a written opin-
ion from Attorney General Cowan
that the board had no other course tc
follow, and that they were liable tt
penalties for neglect of duty if they
failed to enforce the order of the
board. The case will be FOLLOWED
with interest not only here bu
throughout the state. as it is Il Ques
ton that is agitating more communi
ties than one, but this, we believe, vii
be the first attempt to test the Ques
ton.

A few items from the garden spot of
this green earth-the north end of Nc
Lean county-may be of interest to the
readers of your valuable paper.
We have finished harvesting one of
those splendid crops of wheat and oats
that Mclean county is celebrated for.
The future for the farmer is bright and
they are happy. Marketing our crops
has always been attended with a great
amount of labor, but with the grade Of
the Bismarck, Washburn e. Fort. Buford
railroad almost in sight that difficulty
| will soon be overcome.
We have learned the present year
more about the wonderful productive
qualities Of this soil than we ever dream
ed it possessed.
4 hailstorm swept over a large strip
OF country on the Both of juno and it
first appeared that the crops were en-
tircly destroyed, yet a fair crop of good
wheat has been harvested.
The query in the mind OF every think
in. mar here is why SO much of this
beautiful fertile prairie is still unoc-
cupied, while there arc thousands OF
homeless families III the older states-o'
at least thousands who arc living in
some other mans home and paying !;
big price for the privilege-whcn be
could come here and be independent ant
enjoy all that the great Lord intended
every mar should have in this life, tina
is, all the air he can breathe, all The
water he can drink, and land enough tx
make him a home.

The following letter is published for
the information of the soldiers families

applications for headstones were sent by
Mrs. Linda w. Slaughter. During the
civil war. there were no regiments in the
field from Dakota, but n large proper

who died and were buried in the ceme-

organization to properly care for their

larger number of unmarked graves OF
veterans in this than any other state.
Mrs. Slaughter will furnish another
list in October, and expresses the wish
that all G. A. r. posts throughout the
state interest themselves in the matter
and send to her the names, rank, com

variety of figs, the benefit of his infor-
NATION on this subject. In his recent

secured and forwarded specimens of the
B%lastaphaga, the insect utilized for
%fettilizing figs i'll Smyrna. These We're
sent to California and so far as the ex-
pertinent has proceeded, it has proved
successful. Specimens of California
figs fertilized by the imported insect
just received at the department are pro

agricultural department is also III
formed that specimens of the date palm
secured by Professor Swingle in Tripod
have reached Phoenix, A. T., where
they are to he experimental with in tht
hope of making a success of date cul
ture in that territory.

top. The advantage Of this latter ar
rangement is that the bag holder may
be taken anywhere upon the farm,
ever to the field when necessary.
One thing that must be borne in
mind in making these bag holders is
that they must not be so high above
the ground that the bag will be sus-
pended. The bottom Of the sack must
rest upon the ground, else the weight
and the jar will tear the screws loose
in a short time. The holder is for keep
ing the mouth Of the sack open, not for
lifting it also.

Harvesting Spring Wheat With


The great rapidity with which wheat
can now be harvested by means Of i'm
proved self binders has lessened the i'm
portance Of the header. However, it is
still used quite extensively in the spring
wheat growing regions Of the north
west and has its advantages. A wide
swath is cut, and where a number of
machines are used in the same field an
immense amount of grain can be taken
care Of. The horses push the machine
in front CT them. Only enough Of the
straw is taken off to get all the heads.
The grain is run directly into tight
wagon boxes especially made for the
purpose. 1t is hauled Immediately to
the stack and there remains until
thrashing time.
"Where the grain has been allowed
to get very ripe there is much less loss
from SCATTERING when the header is
used for cutting. The grain is not ham
died so often and the tight boxes catch
all the berries that fall out between the
field and the stack. On the other hand,
it il a difficult task to handle headed
grain, beth in getting it on the stack
and from the stack to the machine. The
short, stiff straws refuse to hold togeth'
er, and it is almost impossible to get q
forkful. The grain ie usually Of a bet.

for there being but little of it exposed

header is discarded, possibly never"

Origin of staterooms.

The use of the word "staterooms' ~

Mississippi and Ohio Rivers the pass
snger packets were fitted up with every
accommodation for the guests. 1t was
The custom on the better class of boats

States of the Union. Thus there would
De 'Virginia" cabin, "Massachu-
'etts" cabin, Maryland" cabin, etc.
There was considerable rivalry as to
which State should have the most
handsomely furnished cabin named
after it. Passengers coming from diff.
terent parts of the country took sides
and often made it uncomfortable for
steamboat captains when they imag-
ined that the State of their birth had
been slighted, In consequence it
gradually became the custom to num-
ber the cabins instead of naming them.
This is now the universal rule, the
"Texas" alone surviving. AS is fit.

in their new skirts. The skirts, by
the-way, are not to be quite so long
those to be worn in the street-and it
is said that there is every probability
of going back to the sensible short
skirt. Certain it is that some very
smart gowns are in process now that
clear the ground, but as the present
style of skirt is very difficult to manu-
facture in any graceful way when it is
cut short, the probabilities are that the
cheaper quality of kirt will continue
to be long. In making up a winter
costume it would be we'll to get the
very best pattern and the very latest
one, and to avoid any extreme. The
smart look that is necessary, and that
is difficult to obtain on a plain skirt
unless it is well cut, can this year be
had by using some of the new trim
mings which are very cleverly made
both in passementrie and in velvet.
Some kind dressmakers are telling
their customers that in buying mater
ial for the autumn gowns it is we'll to
get an extra width, for if they should
be sudden change from the narrow
sheath like skirt to wider, the ma
terial will be on hand to make the al
teration. This alterai'>n, though,
will not be needed for sume months
to come.
