BY consulting President Roose-
velt's order published elsewhere
in the PRESS this week, it will
readily be seer that settlers are
not going to have a chance in
the future to obtain title to land
unless residence and improve
ments have been made in good
faith. This will be good news to
the homesteaders who have taken
claims with no other purpose in
mind than that of making a per-
manent home; but for people of
the minority class, who are seek
ing to get land for speculative
purposes, it will not be appreci-
ated. Much expensive Sprosecu-
ton on the part Of the govern
ment will be obviated by the new
ruling. 1t will be a good thing in
the Dickinson land district and
certainly has not come any too
soon. Now if Congress will
repeal the communication law, max
ing it impossible to obtain fine
lands without the actual five
years residence, another good
thing for the development of
this country will be accom-
plished. Actual settlers are
needed to live upon the land, cul-
tivate the tillable land and Craze
stock in the broken sections, and
thus create wealth within the
country. This is the only way to
develop the broad acres in West
ern North Dakota.

Dakota should have been sen,
broadcast over the country. TX
residents of the state it woulc
seem that the very absurdity o.
the statements should brand
them as false. But there has al,
ways been a disposition in the
east to credit anything particu
larly bad as having its origin ii
North Dakota. OF late years
since the large immigration from
eastern states began and more
people came to know real condi.
tions, there has been less of thi.
exaggerated detrimental news
paper stuff going the rounds Of
eastern papers. This winter i
seems worse than ever.
The state has plenty of snow
and some to spare but it is moi
the only place where there is ar
unusual supply of the beautiful;
and, while the railroads find it
difficult to keep cuts clear, it is
ridiculous to read in a Buffalo
paper of drifts Is feet deep!
We read of famine threatened
North Dakota! But with the
exception of an occasional i'm
provident or late arriving home
steader, everybody on the Mis-
souri, Slope has plenty to eat,
drink and wear and money to
purchase more. 1t is probably
true that. relying upon past open
winters, farmers and ranchers
have not laid in as large supplies
as they now wish they had and an
occasional dainty may run short.
But, throughout western North
Dakota, food is not lacking.
Neither is coal. In the north
eastern part of the state, there
has been a coal shortage but none
in the western part of the state
tributary to Dickinson where
there is plenty of native Ignite
coal, and where the price has not
scared skyward.
Frequent inquiry of visitors
from the country brings out no
report of suffering from cold or
hunger and often ELECTS the re-
mark: You call this a hard
winter but it is not so bad as we
have below" meaning Minnesota,
Wisconsin or some eastern state.
Stock conditions are unfavor-
able and feeding very general.
But nobody around Dickinson is
$500 sheep for S1.oo or
them away as is the case
in Montana: nor are cattle and
dying by thousands as
across the border in Canada and
in parts of Montana. There is
title loss so far.
The weather has been cold
cold-for a longer period
than is usual. But there have
been no bad storms and no worse
weather than may be expected in
in any of the northern
1t matters not whether in Min
1esota, Vermont. New York, Mich
gan or North Dakota, if a person
S lost in winter the chances are
he will freeze. In prairie states
the danger is greater because
there are fewer land marks and
less protection from trees, ravines
etc. Notwithstanding this, no
verified reports of freezing in this
section have come in.
Car shortage is a great incon-
'enience and is probably worse in
Dakota than elsewhere on
account of the great prosperity of
he state, the bumper crops to be
moved and the great amount of
goods of every description to be
shipped in to supply the rapidly
increasing population. The i'm

MAKING soAP.
The Modern Process Much Like the
Old Time Method.

The Modern Process Much Like the
Old Time Method.
Our great grandmothers used to
make their own soap by the following
process: A barrel was raised OFF the
ground sufficiently high to allow a tub
to be placed under it, and the bottom
Of the barrel was perforated with small
holes. 1t was then filed with wood
ashes, and now and then a bucket Of
water was thrown ON them, which
found its way into the tub beneath. AS
the water percolated through the ash
es 1t dissolved the potash and soda
which are always found in the ashes
Of plants, and thus a solution was at
tained which was put into an iron boil
er with a quantity Of grease fat and
the mixture boiled for an hour or
longer. Salt was then added, and as
the mixture cooled a solid layer Of
curd soap solidihed on the top of the
water.
The modern process OF soap making
is practically identical, only instead of
ashes weak solution of caustic soda
or I've il used. Fats and oils are boil
ed along with this lye, and the mix
ture is kept constantly agitated. AS
the temperature increases stronger I've
Is used until the operation is complet-
ed. Salt Ia then added, and as soap
IL insoluble In salt water It rises to
the top Of the soda liquor. The lye is
then run Off and fresh solution of
soda added, after which the soap is
again boiled. The boilers are then
left for several hours to allow impuri-
ties to settle, and the soap is finally
run of into molds and cut into bars.
Fancy soaps are generally made by
remelting ordinary soap and adding
coloring matter and perfumes
Glycerin Is an important byproiuct
Of soap making. Mostly all fats con-
sist of glycerin and stearic acid. When
they are boiled with soda the soda ex-
tracts the stearlc acid from the glycer-
in, and the latter is run OFF with the
soda liquor when the first boiling is
completed, but 1t is subsequently re-
covered by distillation. - Minneapolis

The origin Of gloves Is very ancient.
Some authorities assert that they were
known In Bible times, from references
made to shoes which were thought
to be Identical with gloves. The first
clear account of gloves comes, howev-
or. from Xenophon. This writer speaks
OF the Persians wearing gloves on their
hands to protect them from the cold.
Homer describes I.aertes working in
his garden with gloves upon his hands
to protect them from the thorns, and
Varro mentions this apparel as being
worn by the Romans
Gloves have been tokens Of solemn
and important things from the ninth
century, They We're adopted as a rite
Of the church. and later the transfer
ring OF lands or titles was always at.
tended with the presentation Of gloves,
In the eleventh century the method OF
challenging to single combat by throw
ing down a glove was instituted, and
this custom still remains In some coun-
tries, Gloves were not worn by women
until after the reformation.-St Louis

However, with butter in view, she
began on the weather, gradually got
to the country, then on to a farm,
from that to cows and at last to but

ever, the magic word butter producing
not the slightest effect, and he left her
somewhat abruptly and soon withdrew
from the house.
