vation contains about SO, 900 acres
Of land of which approximately
$50 homestead entries may be

ment of $3.50 per acre.
Only qualified homesteaders
will be allowed to participate in

Several bushels of seedless
:pples from Colorado are on ex.
hibition at the Worlds Fair.
This improved seedless apple,
like the seedless orange, is the
result of the scientific work OF
horticulturists. The apple tree
is blossomless and the fruit is
free from worms and hardy
enough to endure the severest
frost The blossomless feature
of the new tree is one of it's most
striking peculiarities and will
make it. a favorite with fruit
growers, especially in cold
climates. Already seedless ap-
pie nurseries have been started
in several states and seedless
apple buds are in great demand.
John F. Spencer, the producer
of the seedless apple, is expert
menting with various varieties.

In her sister city of Moorhead,
with it's thirty odd saloons, ir-
toxicated men were everywhere,
profanity and obscenity filed
the air, and respectable men as
we'll as women stunned the
streets with night fall. The con-
trast is deplorable to say the
least, but no more effective ob.
ject lesson could possibly be
placed before the people of North
Dakota, and they are making the
most of it. We may well be
thankful that the question OF
prohibition or resubmission has
ceased to be an issue in North
Dakota politics.

The jamestown Capital dis
cusses the late judicial conven-
ton in this manner: The i'm
preston has gone out since the
convention that the Logan coun-
ty delegates were opposed to
Judge Glaspel, but this is not
true. just before the conven-
ton they pledged their support
to Mr.. Glaspell, and at his re.
quest they signed up With Wells,
Eddy and LaMoure counties and
offered their support to Mr..
Bartlett of Griggs county. which,
with his home county, would
have given him the nomination.
When this proposition was Offer
ed to Mr.. Baldwin, who held the
proxies of the Griggs county
delegates, he refused to accep,
the nomination for Mr.. Bartlett.
The Logan county delegates then
asked Mr.. Glaspell to relieve
them from their pledge to him,
and they voted for Mr.. Burke
the other counties casting their
vote for their home candidate
Had Mr.. Bartlett accepted Judge
Glaspell's offer, the court cham
bers would undoubtedly have re
mained in jamestown.
Mr.. Baldwin was acting under
instructions If Mr.. Bartlett ant
could not under the circum
stances do anything else, tn
Griggs county votes being
pledged to Mr.. Burke. In th.
CouR1ER's opinion it is Just ,
case of laying down too soon b.
Griggs country before the con
vention. This figuring up be
| fore the convention is disas

A Foolish. Habit foolishly
Persisted In.

Because a deformed queen of
England few centuries ago was
compelled to ride horse back
sideways from physical in
capacity to do otherwise, the wo-
men of the civilized world have
felt compelled ever since to ride
in the same way. The attitude
which a woman is forced to as
sumo on side saddle is the per-
fection of awkwardness, to say
nothing of the twisted spine and
cramped position of the legs, as
we'll as the difficulty Of controll-
ing the horse properly, parti-
cularly if the horse is inclined to
factiousness.
There is no reason whatever
why q women should not ride q
horse the same as man does.
Custom and fashion, coupled
with the fear Of ridicule Perhaps
have forced women for centuries
to ride in the unnatural manner
now prevailing.
1t would be q very easy mat
ter for designers Of ladies' cos.
tunes to arrange apparel which
would be appropriate for riding
in the proper way. We believe
there have been cases Of women
with sufficient courage and nerve
to brave public opinion and ride
as men do, astraddle a horses
back, but no women sufficiently
high in the social scale to have
her example copied has ever at
tempted such a radical reform.
It may be that no woman will
ever dare attempt it, and that for
centuries to come women will
pursue the foolish habit inaug-
urated as we have explained, be-
cause of the deformity in one of
the queens of England.
It would be interesting to
know how many other foolish
habits have become established
through just such incidents as
the above. 1t is stated that the
habit prevailing among women
of the higher classes in China of
distorting their feet arose from
the fact that some empress or
queen, or whatever they are
called in China, some hundreds
of years ago, was born with
small, distorted feet. In order
to initiate the empress the other
high toned ladies of the land pro-
ceeded to contract and distort
the feet of all female children
born. So strongis the force of
habit that to this day the women
of the higher classes Of China
are made cripples and are un-
able to use the power of locomo-
tion conferred upon them by the
Creator, simply because of the
natural deformity with which
one Of the expresses of the
country was afflicted nobody
knows how long ago.-TEe
