Waterproof Glue.

To make waterproof glue, soak it in
water until softened thoroughly, but
preserve the shape. Heat slowly in
linseed oil until dissolved, then mix
thoroughly. To make fireproof glue.
pour water over good glue and let it
remain over night, then slowly melt
and add white lead TO make the right
consistency. This will withstand fire,
but not boiling water. To fasten la

Cuba, Our "ThankIess Child"

''In administration circles at Wash
ington,' as the correspondent of re-
publican newspaper gravely reports,
there is great deal of talk about
ingratitude on the part of Cuba"
This leads the New York World to in
duIge in this sarcastic vein: The
United States government has been
so lavishly kind to Cuba that 'ingrati-
tude' on her part naturally provokes
"a great deal of talk Did it not res
cue her from the Spanish oppressor?
Is not free Cuba its child? And to
have IA thanf<less child is, as King
Lear said, sharper than a serpent's
tooth =
What most stirs the resentment of
the administration circles at Wash
ington is the discovery that instead of
selling to and buying from us on our
tariff laws own terms the Cubans are
believed to be dickering with the
agents of European countries with
the idea of selling their sugar and
other products to them on terms of
mutual advantage. Could 'ingrati-

Kinley chairman of the committee on

that appointment, president of the
United States. He also made Joseph
G. Cannon chairman of the commit

full if he can carry him any further.

The Keynote of the Presidents Mes
sage.

If there is keynote in President
Roosevelt's message delivered in con-
gress today, if there is one thing
more than another in that document
that is significant, it appears in con-
nection with the reference to the
great coal strike. From the stand
point of those who have steadfast
faith in the ultimate and absolute ac-
ceptance of tariff reduction as the
only positive solution of the trust
question, it is most important. The
president recounts the evils of con-
solidated control of Industries, and
makes numerous suggestions as to
the necessity of doing away with the
evil. but the only remedy that he of
fers in his entire message is contain
ed in the brief recommendation for
reduction of the tariff on anthracite
coal. This proposition coming so
soon after the strenuous denial that
there existed such a thing as tariff
on anthracite, and offered as it is in
connection with the discussion of the
great coal strike and attendant hard
ship is easily the most important
phase of the presidents second docu-
ment to congress, on which greatest
interest will hinge, and it cannot fail
to be so regarded the more it is con-
sidered
The remainder of the message is a
review of national and foreign events
since the assembling of the first ses-
sion of the present congress, with
such suggestions as in the opinion of
the executive are meet.

Longhurst-o on the-Sea, July 13.
y Dear Girlie-To think that just one year
ago you and 1 were having such times
here together and now you are actually
working in noisy, dusty New York! Per-
haps you are somewhat consoled by the
fact that every one thinks you tremen-
dously clever and good to help your ia
Their In his hour of trouble, but l should
think, my dear, that business and all that
sort of thing would be such a bore to a
woman.
OF course you want to know about ev-
erything and everybody. Well, it's the
same old place and very nearly the same
old crowd, particularly the men. who are
distressingly few and far between. You
remember that stupid little Jimmy Bar
ton we enjoyed snubbing last season?
He's quite the go this year. Even the
shape of his nose has changed a bit. and
he has a perfect love OF an automobile
I've had several spins with him already.
I'm glad I bought that red coat. 1t
makes a stunning contrast to his dark
green auto.
1t was lucky 1 brought my golf clubs
and suit, for the links are in splendid
form. and Jack Ferris, the crack golfer,
is here. He says my shots are very clever
for woman. L am not sure about the
shots, but 1 know that little frilled sun
bonnet is so becoming. And Jack Ferris
has eyes for something above golf balls.
I found that out last night when we
sat out two waltzes in the turret corner
of the porch Remember the turret cor
ner, Nell? 1 thought you would. You've
been there often enough. dear knows. 1
wore my green Grape 1t might have been
the soft green against my white Shout
ders, or the moonlight on the water. or
the Mexican waltzes the orchestra played.
but Jack certainly did lose his head. L
was shocked. for of course he knows
of my engagement to Ned. But, then.
men who are perfectly sane in town dur
ing the winter season will do such things
under a summer moon. especially IL the
moon goes behind a cloud. !"i@,
BY the way, in his letter today Ned
says that he cannot take his vacation this
month. / know the dear fellow is so dis
appointed. He had planned on being here
with me. don't you know. Well. be as
kind to him. Nell. you can be and con-
sole him in my absence. You'n find him
the best of company on all occasions. De
votedly, PATTY.

Flax Treatment for Wilt.
"a word of caution.)

Farmers take notice: Treating flax
seed with formaldehyde is new work.
One cannot be as careless in treating
fax as he can in treating wheat. It is
easy to kill the seeds if they are made
too wet or are allowed to stay damp.
After treatment, shovel the grain over
until it is thoroughly dry.
Use one pound of formaldehyde to 40
or As gallons of water. Put the solution
on very gradually using fine spray un.
til the grains are just evenly moist. Do
lots of shoveling over while the spray is
applied. When just nicely damp. stop
applying the solution. but continue to
handle the grain over until it is dry.
Avoid soaking, for all grains which are
soaked will be killed. Better not treat
than do it so heavily as to kill our seed.
Do not undertake the treatment until
YOU have carefully read the regular bull
letin. No. so, for particulars. The bulle-
tin will he ready for distribution in
about two weeks from this date (March
20th) }, and will be furnished by the agri
cultural college at Fargo. on application.
