Harry Shannon's Powerful
Comedy Drama, "The Bankers
Child" will be presented at
Cooperstown Opera House for
one night only, Monday June
26. The story of the play is cap

interest, rising at the end of
each act with aclimax of wonder
full power. The comedy is
bright and sparkling. The
action terse, vivid and rapid. 1t
is a play that touches the great
chord Of sympathy. Some very
clever singing and dancing
specialties will be introduced.
Children's day was observed
in the Baptist church last Sun
day by an excellent program
rendered by the young people
of that church. The recitations
were exceptionally fine, they
were not only humorous, but
they contained spiritual truths
as we'll. One young man of
about six years of age told US
that if he were president, there
would be no schools for boys
and number of similar remarks
which seemed to please the
young men immensely. "he two
solos sung by the little girls
were indeed worthy of mention
for the beautiful morals which
they conveyed. The hymns sung
by the young people we're very
appropriate for the occasion.
The GROWING feature of the
evening was rendered when
thirteen young ladies came forth
and placed the name of Jesus
as a keystone on the "Arch- of
Fame" whose gates were yet
unlocked. AS the mystic word
was spoken, the gates swung
wide revealing the unseen joys
of the life beyond, a cross en- I
twined with wreaths and flowers
above which was suspended a
golden crown. The attention of
the audience, which filed the
house, greatly encouraged the
young people in their endeavor
to present to the people the
place in the world accorded to
the name of Jesus. The audi
ence generously contributed for
the Baptist Publication Society.

mcnts he pulled open the vault door,
made as though he would step inside
but halted and whirled around to see
what his companion was doing.
Darrell had not changed his position
and still had his elbow on the desk
and his chin in his hand. A SPAR
king gem on barrels finger drew Muir
gatroyd's eyes and brought an ex-
clamation to his lips.
The circlet was coiled serpent with
diamond head-a ring Darrell had
worn for years. Murgatroyd had seen
it often and knew it we'll.
Recognition came with a rush. Muir
gatroyd's hand dropped to the pocket
that held the revolver and barrels
leaped to the letter-opener, and there
was an overturning of chairs as the
men hurled themselves at each other.
A lurid oath broke from Murgatroyd
but was strangled under the gripping
white fingers of his adversary. The
revolver was not drawn nor the let
ter-opener used; from the first shock
of contact necessity threw them back
on their bare hands.
Neither spoke. Each felt that this
was to be their final battle and the
sharp, hard breath came from their
lips as they clinched and fought
Then followed a terrible half-minute.

Green Cut Bone.

l have used green hone cutter for
over three years, grinding sixty
pounds, more or less, every week, says
a Utah farmer in American Agricultur-
list. My flock Of 100 to $50 chickens
eat the stuff greedily, and If they could
get where am using the machine they
would literally cover it.
The feeding Of bones certainly In
creased the number Of eggs my hens
laid as well as improved their health.
For period Of six months I quit feed
ing bones. I soon found, however,
that the hens laid fewer eggs and
seemed less thrifty. I am unable to
give accurate figures in this case, be-
cause thieves took some of the eggs
each day. My experience certainly
justifes me in saying that green cut
bone increases the number Of eggs laid,
especially in the winter.

PROPER CARE or HEM.
How to Manage Flock to Secure

Best Results.
The henhouse must have comforts
equal to the demand Of hen. Fancy
buildings are not needed; in fact, any
old building will do that is dry, COM
Portable and clean. 1t must be proof
against wind, rain and cold and abso-
lutely dry inside, says the Feather.
Each fowl should have six square
feet Of floor space. The whole interior
should be scratch room, where the
hens can be shut in during the cold or
wet days when 1t is not best for them
to go out. Colonies Of twenty-five or
less are best and a room or apartment
10 by 10 feet gives six square feet for
each. The floor should have six or
eight inches of dry soil or sand, SO they
can dig in it. On top of this should be
thrown every bit of grain that is fed,
compelling them to dig and hunt for all
their food. This hunting and digging
in the straw and loose earth or sand
keeps them busy, gives them plenty Of
exercise, keeps their blood in Oircula-
ton and makes them healthy and vigor-
Gus.
All the water vessels should be emp
tied at night and In the winter filed
about 10 o'clock in the morning with
warm-not hot-water. The reason for
filling at 10 in the morning is to give
the hens chance to hunt and dig and
get warmed up before they have q
drink. Warm water should be given in
winter so as not to chill the hens. Hot
water or hot food is bad at all times.
Warm mash and warm water that feels
pleasant to your hands are good for

it is bad for them.
Night and morning feed dry grains.
Have a mixture Of wheat, oats, corn,
barley, buckw wheat and some millet
seed. If the proper amount Of grain

mix these grains about equal parts
and only feed what they will eat

and middlings. In this put at least
half an ounce per hen per day Of good,

water or hot milk and feed just little

Gut clover hay is splendid for them.

ing only the injury suffered at the
hands Of one whom he had believed to
be his friend. Darrell was calmer, but
none the less determined.
Chairs were tipped over, the desk
and lamp barely escaped, and then, in
frenzy of brute force, they fell
against the mineral cabinet, dropping
to the floor with the cabinet on top
Of them.
Darrell was no match for his antag-
onist in such rough work and he was
underneath. A feeling flashed through
him that he had failed, and that the
victory would be Murgatroyd's. but the
block of galena, tipping with the cabi-
net, struck the stronger man on the
back OF the head and crashed to the
floor.
Murgatroyd's fingers relaxed; with
stifed groan he Strengthened out and
lay like one dead. Excited and breath
less, Darrell drew himself out from I'M
der the cabinet and rose to his feet.
Murgatroyd was at his mercy and
what should he do with him? AS he
debated the question he heard a quick
tread of feet in the hall below.
Acting on a quick impulse, he flew
to the vault, pulled open the inner
doors. dragged the unconscious Murga-
troyd inside and had closed him in

the marshal burst open the hall door
and flung into the room, followed by

The Chronotype in a long editorial
comments on what it calls the farce of
the immigration patrol of the boundary
line as practiced by the government.
We do not understand that the Chrono-
tyye means that the local officers are to
blame, but that the government gives
them too much territory to guard to be
able to do anything like efficient service.
1t says that one man has to guard the
line from points equi distant from Wal
halla and Pembina, and that his actual
work is to ride on the train and back
again each day. If he happens to find
any one on the train of the illegal or un-
desirable class he puts them off at Gret-
ma, and later they walk across and go
into the country.
Anyway it is very true that anyone
who is posted on the laws or methods,
should have no great difficulty in COM
ing across the miles and miles Of bound
ary line that sees no officer for@weeks or
months and never at night.

AS to that somewhat notorious libel
law. 1t is quite evident that under the
terms of the libel law that there are
large number of editors of this state who
for libellous expressions in reference to
the author of that law, Editor Streeter Of
the Emmons County Record, ought to
be in the penitentiary. Of course it
would not do to send the whole lot to
Bismarck, for many apparent reasons
and if for no other that there is not room
enough there to accommodate all the gull
ty comfortably. But in this case we are
decidedly in favor of vicarious atone
ment and it is perfectly apparent to every
one whom the victims should be. Lamp
man of the Chronotype and De la Bere
of the Sheldon Progress are very evil
IDENTITY the proper 'scape goats to bear
the sins of the fraternity.
Now we suggest that Brother Streeter
proceed to lndict these two chief sinners
and old goats, and have them tried at
Grand Forks during the State fair time.
Ii the principals will stipulate to try
their own cases and appear as their own
attorneys, and President Lindstrom call
meeting of thh Press Association at the
same time as "rooters" they can fill the
Opera House at S head and thus pro-
vide means for the expenses of the trial.
And after such trial we would then
, know for sure whether the North Dako-
ia libel law is farce or tragedy.
Go in Streeter, you will have the
whole fraternity with you in this case
except Lampman and De la Bere.
