COUNTY EAIR
Will Hold Meeting Of the Agricul-
cultural Society,"

There will be a meeting of
the Bottineau County Agricu1-
tural Society at the court house
on Thursday afternoon, Decem-
Der 18th, at one o'clock.
Whether the question of hold
ing a county fair next year will
be. taken up at this meeting or
not we do not know, but we
hope to see these meetings con-
tinued. Aid for the county fair
from the county treasury was
voted down at the election, but
that vote can hardly be taken
to mean lack of interest in the
fair itself. The right way is to
make t h m self supporting,
without aid from the treasury,
like every other enterprise, if it
can be done. But if it cannot
we believe the value of these
fairs from an educational stand
point would warrant the expen-
diture of a reasonable amount
of public money in their sup
port.
It is hoped that every mem
ber of the society will be pres
ent at the meeting to be held
at the court house December
9th.

TO DIVIDE.
An Effort Being Made to Divide
Eighth District.

A movement was started in
Bottineau yesterday, by the at
torneys of the county, having
as it's object the division of the
Eighth judicial district and the
Z appointment of a new judge.
The court business of the
present. district has increased
so fast that it is impossible for
one. Judge to attend to it. There
are many cases in Bottineau
county waiting for trial.. and
we are informed the regular
term for January is more than
liable to go over until some
time next summer.
A meeting of the county bar
association had been previously
called for this purpose, and
there was a representative
gathering at the court house
yesterday. A comnnitte con-
sisting of Messrs. Bruce, Ad-
ans and Besancon were ap-
pointed to draft resolutions re-
garding the plan of action to be
followed. The committee re-
ported recommending a mass
meeting of all the members of
the bar in Bottineau, Pierce
and McHenry counties to be
held in Rugby at an early date,
for the purpose of agreeing up
on a uniform plan of action
for the three counties. 49,
A. G. Burr was authorized
to request the governor to rec
commend this division in his
message.
It was also the sense of the
meeting that some changes in
in the practice of county courts
with increased jurisdiction was
desirable, and ]. c. Adamson,
J. J. Murphy and N. G. Veg
ner were appointed committee
to formulate such changes as
seemed to be desirable.
The conditions of litigation
in these three counties will be
greatly improved with the
division sought for, and it to be
hoped the desired rSH Ht1ft Will be

Remonstrance with her is useless,
the matrons have learned her long
ago. Sometimes they ask her if she
isn't ashamed to come SO often to the
| station house, and she always makes
the same answer. "No; the city's
willing for me to stay here and I'll
come as often as l like. It's much
more comfortable than home, It's
cleaner and / like the electric lights"
She has such a ready good humor
and such a spirit of fun that in spite
of her waywardness Maggie is rather
a favorite in the station and with the
judges. After one of her last visits
to the police station Maggie pleaded
p~enitence to the judge and promised
to walk the straight and narrow path
in the future if the Judge would let
her go. So the magistrate did give
her the chance, threatening dire con-
sequences if she appeared before him
again soon. The very next night Mag.

spite of the daily visits of the birds,
but when the young of the latter were
Matched, the numbers of the beetles
began to diminish rapidly, and when
the young birds were fiedged and
were brought by their parents and
placed in a row upon the fence around
the field, the insects rapidly disap'
peared, and when | examined the field
a week later | could not find a single
beetle, either young or adult.
About this time the birds began to
prey upon some peas in my garden,
and l shot one of them and examined
the contents of its stomach. 1t con.
sisted of n large green caterpillar
(Sphingidae), several potato beetles,
and a few fragments of peas. My
conclusion was that the few peas
taken had been well paid for. How.
ever l hung an old coat on a pole near
the pea vines, and the birds came
near them no more. All of the above
observations were made in the state
of Iowa, which was n of the first
states to suffer from the attacks Of
the beetles on their eastward march.
Since then this habit of the Gros-
beak has been confirmed by thousands
of observers in all parts of the coun
try where the potato beetle and the
bird are found. AS this insect is
eaten by but few species of birds it
is especially desirable that this one,
that eats it so freely, should be pre-
served and its increase be encouraged
in every possible manner. Forty
years ago this bird was rare in New
England-in fact, was entirely I'M
known in many places, but it is now
fairly abundant there, and it may be
that it has been attracted to that
section of the country by the pres.
nce of the potato-beetles, which fur.

depredations upon peas (the only

Maggie, you've no idea how quickly
we would get you out of here; get

There are only a few that take the
world so cheerfully under the influ-
ence of drink. Many of the cases
that come under the eye of the police
matron are of women who have been
led to the passion for drink to drown
some sorrow, and many of them
women used to better ways of living.
One day a frail bit of a woman-a
mere girl-was brought to the station.
Her husband had got out a warrant
for her and wanted to have her COM
mitted to some institution. Drink had
made terrible ravages in the woman's
appearance, and when the effects of
the whisky began to YEA off she sat
in her cell clinging with her thin
hands to the bars and begging pitt
fully for drink. Toward dawn the
woman collapsed and a hurry call
was sent to the hospital. The ambu-
lance surgeon on his arrival had only

All women work; some In their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens OF thousands are
on the n~ever-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps ir~regularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day. to sleep we'll at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she car hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female or
ganism.

CURING CLOVER HAY
Only Such Amount as Can Be Safely
Cured and Stored Should Be Cut.

Where a hay loader is used, it is
sometimes advantageous to ted clover
hay twice to get all the dampness out
of it before putting it in barns. Where
the hay is loaded by hand from cocks
or piles, this is seldom necessary.
Glover hay, says the Orange Judd
Farmer, should never put in the NOW
when damp, with the expectation that
1t will cure out in NOW.
If the weather is very brittle, as it
was last year in this latitude, small
amounts should be cut so that too
much will not be down at one time.
My practice is to cut one day about
what / can put in the next, so that if
the weather breaks and my hay gets
wet after it is almost cured our loss
will be comparatively small. Last
year during the wet weather, l know
of farmers who lost five or six acres
by cutting down too much at one
time. Besides, If the weather proves
warm and clear, when SO much is cut
at one time the last to be taken in
will be too dry to handle well and SC
many of the leaves will drop off while
handling that the value of the hay
will be greatly reduced.
A good programme for hay making
and one which cndeavor to carry Out
is about as follows: Cut the latter
part of day, about as much as can be
taken care of the next afternoon, this
to be governed Of course by the
amount Of help at hand. Begin ted
ding by ten a. m. the next day II the
weather is clear. BY one or two p
m. begin hauling to the barn. Clear
up If possible all that is down. Have
a team cutting for next day and so OF
each day.

We talk a great deal about the future Of dramatic art in America.
We read a great deal about the mushroom growth Of stars who leap

French writer's on the comparison of the highly educated and we'll
trained actresses Of the French stage with those Of America. Dramatic
clubs and managers themselves talk on the need of sincerity in the
young actress, who must take her AT seriously, yet what more fatal
blow can there be to the art OF the future than having the budding
actresses and actors come face to face with the distortng and sighting
Of art by the very idols of the stage themselves?
