Growing Potatoes Under Straw.

Plow the ground deep and pull
verize fine. When the weather be-
comes warm, mark out shallow rows
q feet wide, drop your potatoes
and cover lightly with dirt. Then,
cover with old hay or clean threshed
straw 8 to 10 inches deep. Ifstraw
has wheat left in it, the wheat will
come up and damage, the potatoes.
In our country, the yield in raising
potatoes under mulch is double
that under the best cultivation and
is especially recommended for To-
callties having droughty seasons.

land or western states, The ther-
mometer occasionally registers a
very low temperature, and probably
this is the cause of so much mex
cusable misconception in regard to
our climate; but the reader is as
sured that a temperature Of 40 de-
grees below zero, an exceptionally
cold day of the winter, has no more
terrors for North Dakotan than
has a "norther" of Texas, or the
daily snow storms of New England
for the residents of those ATTITUDES.
THE AUTUMN L1NGERs..
The autumn is a delightful season
and is generally prolonged far into
December; set cold weather rarely
comes until after the holidays. The
sudden breaking up of the winter is
a very noticeable feature of North
Dakota weather. There is none of
that intermittent warfare between
Boreas and the sun resulting in pro-
longed visitations of rain and wind,
alternate freezing and thawing, so
common in the eastern states, and
dreaded always as the most disa-
greeable season of the year.
The winter breaks in March, US
ually, and is followed Immediately
by the warm, sunny days of sum-
mer. Seeding and farm operations
generally begin in the middle part
of March, or early in April, and are
seldom Interrupted by the return
of frost or snow.
There is no agricultural district
in which a farmer of small means
has been able to start more advan-
tageously than in North Dakota. It
is possible that the opportunities
for establishing a home in North
Dakota on small means are not as
favorable at tie present time as
they were earlier in it's history ow-
ing to tie advance in land. But it
must be remembered that all other
conditions are in favor of opening
up and. establishing, homes more
Fcheaply than could be done dec
ade ago owing to the great reduc-
ton in the interest rates, in the
price of farm machinery, and nearly
everything that the farmer has to
purchase. Minneapolis Journal.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR DOG.

Every once in a while we hear
complaints from farmers living in
this vicinity of the depridations Of
dogs in their focks of chickens and
sometimes sheep, and we have been
asked to publish the statutes COW
ering the extent which a dog owner
is liable in cases of this kind. The
following laws have been enacted
covering this point

Absolutely Free
A Dollar Heart Remedy

The heart itself has no more self-contrO1
than a common sponge 1t is made to beat
by tender nerve so tiny that it is scarce
" visible to the naked eye. Yet ten thou
sand times a day this delicate nerve must
cause the heart to expand and contract
The heart is about the size of your
clenched fist. Open and close your fist a
dozen times, even, and you will see the
monstrous labor this little nerve must do
The heart nerve is only one of the
branches of the great sympathetic nerv-
Gus system Each branch of this system
is closely allied with the others that
weakness or irregularity at any point is
apt to spread. Heart trouble frequently
arises from stomach trouble through SYM
patty and kidney trouble may also fol-
low. For each of these organs is operated
by a branch of these same sympathetic
nerves-the inside nerves.
The bond of sympathy between the
nerves that operate the vital organs has
a useful purpose, well. For what will
cure weakness in one branch will surely
cure weakness in every branch-what will
restore one center, will surely restore
them all.
There is nothing new about this-nothing
any physician would dispute. But it re-
manned for DR.. ShOop to apply this knowl-
edge-to put it to practical use. DR..
Shops Restorative is the result of a
quarter century of endeavor along this
very line. 1t does not dose the organ or
deaden the pain-but it does go at once to
the nerve-the inside nerve-the power

COMING 10 THE THEATER.

Something in Brief About Topeka
Theatrical Chances Next Week.
AT THE CRAWFORD.
1.-THE Wizard of Or Monday.
The Lyric Opera Co. Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Railroad jack Thursday.
"Pompeii' Saturday.
THE Wizard of OF" has been one of
the musical extravaganza hits in the
eastern cities with Montgomery and
Stone as the principal comedians but
the company coming to Topeka is the
second company and Montgomery and
Stone are not with it.
The Lyric Opera Co. is an unknown
musical organization to Topekans.
Railroad jack is a sort of tramp
play that has been here before.
John Fay is announced as the star in
"Pompeii." A good deal more is known
of "Pompeip' than of John Fay.

Rio Plata Lucienne Is brought face
to face with her fathers wife. The
meeting is curious. Helene becomes
fascinated with Lucienne and decides
to adopt her. She reveals her iden-
tity to her husbands illegitimate
daughter, and in a touching and
effective scene, admirably acted by
Nine. Bartet and Nile. Pierat, the two
fall into each others arms. In the
fourth act comes the scene between
the daughter and the father, who is at
last convinced by his wife that the best
solution is to adopt her. This by no
means suits the cantankerous old
Briant pere, who, waxing furious at
these ultra-modern ideas of concilia-
ton, quits the house forever in a fit
of passion and leaves the young
couple to their own devices. Such is
the bare outline of .Notre Jeunesse."
This slight and fragile plot is, however,
worked out with dainty finish, from
which is exhaled the delightful esprit
and humor that seldom fail to cap
tivate the Partisan public.

SANTA FE POLICY.
President Ripley Explains What Is to
Be Done with Bond Issue Money.

"Of one thing the stockholders and
the public may be certain" President
E. p. Ripley of the Santa Fe says;
that is. that the directors of the
Santa Fe in asking for authority to
issue $5O.00O,0O0 of per cent. nego-
table bonds, are not figuring on a
losing investment.
at is quite certain that if the money
to be expended under this authority
were not to return more than the 4
per cent. cost to be paid out, the di-
rectors would not think of spending
it. The growth of the Santa Fe has
been wonderful, and our plan is to
provide for an equally wonderful
growth in the future.
There is no section of the country
that is showing more wonderful
progress right now than the south
west-the Atchison territory. Kansas
oil fields are the wonder of the new
century. Texas is only beginning to
show the world her wonderful re-
sources-there has been but a scratch
on the surface compared to what will
be brought out of that state in the
next five or ten years. New Mexico
Indian Territory, and all the way
west it is much the same story. 1t is
to provide for all of these things in
the future, to be prepared to keep
pace with this growth and get the
proper share of it for the Santa Fe,
that the directors are asking the addi-
tionai bond issue of $4,000, 0OO.''

MAY OPPOSE BOND ISSUE.
Holders of Santa Fe Common Do Not
Approve Financial Plan.

New York, Dec. lit was report
ed today in Wall street that holders
of common stock of Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe in this city and the east,
representing about $4,000, 900, prob
ably will oppose the proposed issue
of the $50,000,00O of convertible
bonds, as announced by President
Ripley of that company.
Common stock of Atchison is very
largely held in this city, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Boston, and throughout
New England generally, and the
movement among the holders in OPP
position to the new issue is beginning
definitely to crystalline.
Point is made that the putting of
$50,000,000 additional bonds ahead of
the preferred stock is not likely to
increase its investment value, and the
convertibility of the bonds into COM
mon stock whenever it becomes to the
holders interest to do so is not likely
to enhance the value of the common
stock, as shown by the effect of Pres
ident Ripleys announcement on the
present market.
