Rink is Busy.

The management of the Belmont ice
rink reports a very successful sea-
son so far, with present indications
pointing toward a whirlwind finish as
far as crowds are concerned. The week
before Christmas was not as good a
period for the skaters as had been
hoped but with Christmas presents
and ante-holiday cares off the mind
the skaters are going swarming to the
rink.

Meeting Mt CrOOkstOn.

For some time past Crookston
papers have been publishing notices
to the effect that the North Dakota
municipal league was going to hold a
session there. Just why the league
should go outside of the state to find
a place to meet is rather hard ques-
ton to answer. The next meeting of
the league, which was recently Or
ganized in this city, will be held at

BAPT|sTs ARE IN SESSION
Executive Committee Net This Morn.
ing-Educational Matter Will be
Taken Up Tomorrow.

The executive committee Of the
North Dakota Baptist state convention
is holding a very important session
in this city today, but at the time of
going to press nothing had been given
out.
The conclave gathered this morning
in the pastors study in the First
Baptist church at the corner of Alpha
and Fifth street. There are eight
members of the committee, six of
these being out of town people and
of the six but four were able to at
tend. Rev. F. E. R. Miller and R. B.
Griffith of this city are present.
A call has been issued by the chair
man of the committee, Rev. L. B.
Crosby of Crystal, for meeting of a
special committee tomorrow following
the adjournment of the executive ses-
sions for the purpose of thoroughly
investigating the proposition of build
ing Baptist college in the state"
This is very important topic and a
great deal of time and study has been
given to the topic by the members of
the special committee. If a decision
favorable to the proposition is reached
it is very probable that the college
will be located in this city in con-
junction with the state university to
come under the idea of afiliation
with the state university. The Metho-
dist Wesley college has already ac-
cepted this idea and buildings are al
ready in course of construction with
class work going on regularly in tenn
porary quarters in the city.

Salads are, TO many people. a desira-
bility the year round. To those OF US
who have not access to city markets
they are a possibility only through the
summer. All sorts Of green plants may
be used in their composition. where
simple salad IS desired as a dinner
course. For lighter meals vegetables
cooked OF raw, meats, FISH, and other
foods are added at will
Dressings for salads are both cooked
and raw. They should contain fat OF
some sort. such as Olive OIL or melted
butter, some acid. as vinegar or lemon
juice and seasouing-salt. pepper, ana
sometimes a fesv drops Of onion juice or
some special condiment.

nRIGIN OF THE CRESCENT BREAD.

The origin of that Viennese bread
shaped like a crescent, which is round
in most places on the continent, dates
hack to 1853. At that time the Aus
trian capital was being besieged by the
Turks under the terrible Grand Vizier
Kara Mustapha, and as they failed to
take the city by assault, they decided
10 dig 4 passage under the walls, and
so penetrate into the town. In the
DAYTIME the noise Of the siege made
the sound OF tunneling inaudible, and
at nighttime the defenders of the place
were asleep, ali but the sentries and
the bakers. It was the bakers who. as
they baked the bread for the garrison,
heard the pickaxes Of the miners COM
ing nearer and nearer. and gave the
alarm In the fighting the bakers as
sociation took their share with the ut
most bravery, and as reward for their
services the Emperor gave them per-
mission to make special cake shaped
like the TuyAsh rescents-London

and 800 women as guides. trappeFs'
hunters and scouts"
These last are amazing trades for
wives and mothers surely, and probably
are pursued by those yet unmarried or
whose children are grown; but they
serve as a startling index TO the latitude
of professions now open to women.
They share widely in the arts, stand
high in many lines Of science, enter al
professions, and are making their mark
in business everywhere.
Many honest critics and observers. IN
Guiding Workmen themselves, in all
grades. show an increasing resentment
of what they call female competition,
and many who do not accept that fallac-
ious economic argument fear the ERECT
of such occupations on the keystone of
our physical ogress-motherhood.
That we may enjoy and approve IN
stead of fearing. these two objections
must be intelligently faced and removed.
The econOmic objection is based on
the idea that work is a limited crop,
am owned by somebody, and wanted by
the rest Of the people. That there Is
scarcely enough for men-iet alone wo-
men; and that in this case 1t is far
better for the men TO do 1t all.
Now even If this were true-eVen If
''VVork" Cby which they really mean
''pav') were thus limited, II would be
far more fair and comfortable TO divide
IT between men and women. Each would
then work half a day as Ii were-and
have the other half at home. There
would be Just as much money earned,
but each would own half Of It.
