Something About Flowers.
Sweet peas may be sown this month
for next springs blooming.
Nasturtiums sown in window boxes
now will be gorgeous winter boomers,
Plant pansy seed this month to
make sure of strong young plants for
early spring blooming.
Poppy seeds of all varieties can be
sown in autumn, with the result OF
much earlier blooming plants in the
spring.
In planning for the winter window
garden, aim to have several white
flowers among the constan, blOOmers.
Boxes of the fragrant sweet alyssum
are especially desirable.
Many varieties of winter-blooming
oxalis take the lead for desirable
hanging bloomers. New beau
ties are introduced this year; and a
dozen mixed bulbs will give many de-
lightful surprises at very small cost.
Ixlas may be new to some bulb
growers. They are well worth cult
waiting: in fact there are few bulbs
more desirable for winter display,
bulbs are small and half a dozen may
be planted in a five-inch pot, and they
will be magnificent when in bloom.
In clearing the beds of drying plants
and unsightly bloom stalks it will be
possible to collect many perennial
seed pods that have been overlooked.
1t Will not be necessary to save the
seed till next year; scatter it in the
soil about the old roots.
Carnations for winter Towering
should be kept pinched back-that is,
when they show a flower it should be
nipped off close to the plant Keep
the ground around the plants well
The same should be done
with the violets and other winter
blooming plants that may be planted
out in the garden.
Chrysanthemums which have been
pinched back throughout the summer
may now be allowed 70 form buds
Those that are TO be taken inside
should be potted soon and set in a
shady place with the other freshly
pOtted plants, allowing the rootlets to
develop before giving them full sun
shine.

And what is this continuous moving
platform that New Workers propose
to have? The principle of operation
is very simple. Take two or three
lead pencils. Lay them at equal dis
tances apart and put over them a pos
tai card. Give the card a forward
movement. There you have the in
tricate mystery of the platforms al
ready solved. Increase the size of
your pencils. Simplicity! The
speed increases, and it is by this
nursery method that the platforms
will move with varying rates of speed.
The proposed route of the railway is
over the Williamsburg bridge, to De
lancy street, down the Bowery to
Canal street, thence along Center TO
the Brooklyn Bridge, to Nassau street.
thence to Broad and down to the Bat
terry.
This route is liable to be changed.
Others have been suggested, carrying
the platforms in the same general di-
rection No final decision will be
made until a formal report is made
by William Barclay Parsons. Chief
Engineer of the Rapid Transit Com
mission. When they get to Manhat-
tan the platforms will move in a tun-
mel. Over the bridge they will go un-
der an ornamental glass roof.
When the job is completed there
will be over the bridge a continuous
train and two moving platforms. The
train is a series of seats facing the
direction in which the platforms
move, with a capacity on each seat of
three passengers. These seats will
be of steel, laced to the platforms,
which will also be of steel. The train
with the steel seats is to move across
the bridge at the speed of nine miles
an hour
Paralleling the train will be two
platforms, one operated at six and the
other at three miles an hour. There
will be no trouble in getting from the
stationery platform to that going
three miles, and passengers can step
from one platform to the other with
out the least inconvenience. The
glass covering over the platforms will
be comfortably heated in the winter,
but in the spring and summer the
glass covering will be removed and
the passage made in the open air.
The cars are Joined or coupled so as
to present a continuous line of cars
flooring without openings. 1t is from
this fa~ that the platforms were
called at first moving sidewalks. I"
The mechanism permits the turning
of sharp curves, and being endless and
self-balanced. admits of much sleeper
grades than do ordinary railways.
When the scheme was first pro
posed it was intended to extend the
platforms only across the bridge
proper, but because they could be
operated at any grade, and because
they could make the most acute turns
il was decided to extend them through

Don't you think the modern woman
is in danger of getting so busy she
has no time to be kind?" asked
sweet ola lady the other day. I'VE
hear so much about making every
minute count and always having some
work or course of study for spare
hours and systematizing our activities
that there is no room left for wayside
kindness. We get so tremendously
absorbed in our own affairs, so self
centered, so intent on not missing any
thing that is going on that we pass by
a thousand little gracious acts that,
If we had been living fifty years
back, instead of now, we should have
thought of. 1t isn't only the lame.

love. There are hundreds who never
fall by the way or ask publicly for
the cup of cold water who yet are
perish:ng for lack of it. | think the
old-fashiOned woman had the ad-
vantage over the so-called new woman
in quickness of sympathy and re-
sponsiveness."
Well to Know.
\ double chin can be corrected by
proper breathing. The woman with a
short neck should hold her head high.
Deep, systematic breathing is the cor
rect remedy for stoutness, for the
great amount of oxygen taken into
lungs burns out the carbon, which is
fat. The best time for this exercise
is just before dressing and just after
undressing. Tight clothes and lacing
make a woman appear stouter, and
any ideas to the contrary are delu.
sions. Tight fitting garments accentu-
ate the lines of the body, making
stoutness more conspicuous. All wOm-
en- can learn to carry their bodies
gracefully. 1t is merely a matter OF
throwing out the chest, drawing in the
chin and walking on the balls of the,
feet. When these three rules are OBJ
served il would be rather difficult to
walk ungraceful.

OUR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.
Cavalier County Had an Enrolment of
Twenty Last Year.

During the week the DEMOCRAT has
received the 1923 catalogue of the
State University of North Dakota, it
being the nineteenth annual pamphlet
of this nature issued by that institution.
There are upwards of two hundred
pages of the present issue, making up a
book of great amount of valuable in
formation to all who have any interest
whatever in the state ~" and giving a
most complete idea of the tremendous
amount of work which this institution
of learning has accomplished, more es-
pecially of recent years.
The State University of North Dako-
ia dates its inception from an act of the
Territorial Assembly. approved February
9th, 1888, and the institution was first
opened for the reception of students in
September, 1884. with an attendance of
only thirty. The university has con-
tinued to steadily grow until today the
faculty reach about that number and
inc enrolment OF students has reached
520 for the past year.
From Cavalier county there has been
an attendance OF twenty student in one
or another of the seven different depart
ments of study at the state IL" during
the school year which closed last June.
The number attending has grown pre-
ceptibly since the schools have been
graded up to an extent which enables
pupils to complete the higher course of
study necessary to enter the preparatory
years work at the university. The
students from Cavalier county during

the past year have been distributed
over nearly every department of the
university and hail from almost all
parts of the county. The College of
Liberal Arts had sixty-one students, of
these three, Miss Tessie jackson and
Percy R. Abbey of this city and Gud-
munder Crimson of Milton, were from
this county. The two former will num-

HOME FOR BURIAL.
The Remains of Mr.. W. H. Smith Brought
Home on Tuesdays Train.

At noon on Sunday last Mrs. w. H
Smith, we'll known and beloved resi-
dent of this city, breathed her last at
Hunters Hot Springs, Mont. The illness
which resulted in bringing this sad
sorrow to so many hearts was of but few
days duration. Her son, DR.. +. S. Smith
and daughter, Miss Emily Smith. to-
gether with Miss Wilhelmina Sovereign,
her sister, had all gathered there within
week to give what aid and comfort
they could at the bedside of the sufferer.
whose weakened condition was unable
to Withstand the ravages of disease. her
soul taking its fight into the rest beyond
the grave.
Mrs. Smith left Langdon three weeks
ago for the Hot Springs at Hunter,
Mont, to try the curative properties OF
the mineral baths there for rheumatism,
with which she has for some years been
somewhat sufferer. Hergeneral health
at the time was good. In fact she would
not consent to any of the family accom-
panying her. Five letters received by
the family told of her trip, the benefit
she had experienced and the enjoyment
of her stay there. Then quickly came
the message by wire that dysentry and
inflammation of the bowels, maladies that
for years had been critical in their severe
visitations, on the sufferer, had stricken
her. The end as it approached was
fraught with pain and at last came as
a peaceful release.
At the time of passing away the age OF
Mrs. Smith was fifty eight years and six
month, and she is buried by the side OF
her husband, whose death occurred three
years ago last July. 1t is five years ago
since Mr.. and Mrs. Smith ST., came here
from their home in the east to be near
their son DR.. Smith and other members
of the family. The sad event of the past
week recalls many pleasant memories
that associate with the family circle now
ruthlessly broken by the grim reaper.
The funeral held from the residence
yesterday afternoon was an extremely
large one. Rev. d. j. Sykes, of Osnabrock
an intimate friend Of the family, con-
ducting the service, assisted by Rev. =
Dougan and Rev. Mash Of this city. At
the service q deserved tribute was paid
to the dead, pointing to her strong faith
consistent and upright life as one
worthy Of emulation by al. The i'm.

Emily Smith, and four sons, DR.. Fred s.

OPERA HOUSE OPENING.
Over 5000 Worth of Seats Have Been Sold
for the Opening Performance.

When will the opening of Langdon's
new opera house take place? The ques-
ton is to be heard on all sides these
DAYS now that the building is fast near
ing completion.
When asked the question this week
Mr.. McEuen stated that the outlook,
now that the brick layers and masons
have completed their work, was that the
contractors would be able to turn the
building over to HIM not later than
October 18th or Goth. In fact he is so
thoroughly satisfied of this that tickets
are now being sold for the opening night.
Last Thursday seats were reserved in
the parquet and balcony representing a
sale of $500, and it will be remembered
that the eight stalls or boxes, having a
seating capacity of six persons each,
were taken upwards month ago. The
prices set for the different parts of the
opera house on the opening night are
scheduled as follows: Boxes, seating six
persons, $50: parquet, $3.50; dress circle
$3.50; balcony, $500; galleries, s4.OO and
$3.50.
These prices show that on the open
ing night Langdon people contribute q
slight token of their substantial ap-
probation of his enterprise in giving the
city an opera house that will popularize
Langdon with the theatrical people as
we'll as contribute to the progress ofour
growth. Mr.. McEuen has invested his
capital to the amount of over $4,000 in
the project, has asked no bonus from
the city or solicited contributions from
the citizens and no one with the slightest
degree of public-spirit will hesitate to
avail themselves of the opportunity
afforded on the opening night of giving
Mr.. McEuen a full house.
Three of the largest theatrical COM
panies touring the Northwest have re-
quested the privilege of coming here to
open the Opera House and tae announce
ment of the play will be made next week.
None of the companies which Mr.. Nc
Euen has under consideration carry less
than thirty people SO that the perform
ance will give ample opportunity Of
demonstrating to the audience tho stage
capacity as we'll as the excellent arrange
ment Of the auditorium Of Langdon's
new opera honse.

sister of the deceased, were
all present at the funeral. To them, as

great distance to attend, the sympa-

ed Just ten minutes previously. There
came before his vision at that mo-
ment the picture of disappointed au-
dience and the first break in long
record for punctuality in filling polit-
ical engagements. Hurrying away to
the roundhouse the senator inquired
the cost of special train to carry
him from Terre Haute to Princeton.
He was told that 800 would foot the
bill and he paid over the amount and
crawled into the cab with the engineer
and fireman. The throttle was
thrown open, and away the engine
speeded for Princeton. At Nincennes
it overlook and passed the regular
train with which the senator had
hoped to connect. 1t was shortly
after two o'clock when the senator
reached Princeton and triumphantly
alighted. There was no visible sign
of an immediate political demonstra'
ton. The chairman of the commit
tee met him at the train, and leisurely
escorted him up town. The senator
observed that he was "on time"
Earlier than l expected repliec
the chairman. "Will you go to youI
hotel now to remain until the meet
ing?'
"When is the meeting?" inquired the
senator.
"Why, did you not know; sever
O'Clock tonight. / supposed the com
mittee had advised you that the houi
had been changed from afternoon un
til night"
But the committee had not, AM
therefore the senator had made an un
necessary expenditure of 500 for
special engine for the trip.

WHICH PAPER7
Is the City Paper or the Country Weekly
Best for Country People.

Perhaps there may be city papers,
filled with worked over chatt out OF
the daiIies, to be had for trlfle less
than the subscription price OF the
home country weekly, but there are
differences between the two that bear
in an overwhelming degree in favor OF
the latter.
The city paper publishes little or
nothing OF your county news, cases
tried in court, or any of the events OF
interest to the people of your locality.
You may live the most upright lie,
be charitable and exemplary, and
when you die, which paper sings your
praise? If there is a wedding IN your
family, which paper pays compl
ments TO the young couple just start
ing on the voyage Of life1 If you OF
your relatives engage in some enter
PRISE, which paper makes note OF the
matter and gives it publicity for your
benefit If you or your friends get
sick or hurt, which paper chronicles
the iactp Which paper tells of your
churches and schools and labors In
cessantly and without tithe of pro
portionate recompense for the up
building and general welfare OF you
town and township and county, you'
oranges and secret orders, and record

overlooks family affairs that are bette
out o! print, and does a thousan'
things for the good of the town an
country districts? Is it the city pap(
or the country weekly
