LATEST. REGULATION RELATING
TO FINAL PROOFS.

BY a recent circular the general
land office has lrescinded the order
prescribing certain schedule dates on
which final proofs shall be made be-
fore certain offices, other than the
local land Offices, at which a special
agent shall be present in the inter
est of the government. Hereafter
claimants may make proof before any
officer qualified to take final proofs
and on any date that may be fixed by
the local land office, regardless of the
convenience of the special agents.
It has been found impractical to con
tinue the schedule system, because
there are not enough special agents
provided for to cover the field, and
the result has worked great delay and
inconvenience to claimants and their
witnesses.
The effect of the recent order will
be to restore the conditions existing
two years ago. Claimants will not
be urged specially to make proof be-
fore the local land officers, but NAV
make proof before more accessible
officers nearer their homes and at
less expense. Special agents will.

The campaign of the American So
ciety of Equity is interesting and will
throw light on the question of whether
wheat growers, allied together, will
be able to steady the price of the
grain and, in a measure, fix the price
to be paid them. The society is not
an old one and pledges have been OBJ
tanned from it's members of certain
acres that will not be harvested,
threshed and thrown directly into the
worlds visible, but will be kept back
and stored awaiting a rise in price.
The weakness of the movement, we
apprehend, lies in the great number
Of persons VINO must cooperate to
make it a success. The cooperation
of the few is not difficult, but the CO.
operation of the many is not easy to
bring about. The president of the or
ganization says the obligations of the
farmers will be brought to fall due
later than now, and money will be OBJ
tanned on local storage tickets to tide
the farmers over till the crop is sold.
While, as living in an agricultural
state, we would like to see the price
of wheat go to a dollar and stay there,
the matter is n difficult to regulate
and we shall be %agreeably surprised
if we find that the movement has in
any material degree raised the price
of wheat. The necessities of the in
dividual are apt to be mor imme-
diately important than the interests
of the many and a break in the line
of pledges is apt to mean a break all
along the line. There is a natural
law of supply and demand that has
regulated prices, and, we are inclined
to believe, will continue to regulate
them, and much as we might hope
for dollar wheat all the time, we fear
it is not just practicable.

The American Society of Equity
Campaign will soon be begun
with Theo. Nelson at the head.
North Dakota has pledged more
bushels of wheat than any other
state. Mr. Nelson, who will conduct
the "Dollar wheat to stay" cam
paign says:
"It is up to the grower now, and
the story will soon be told.
The critical stage of the cam
paign is reached during the wheat
harvest already begun. This is the
crop of vital Importance to the
success of the movement for con-
trolled marketing. The wheat har-
vest comes at a season when the
farmers bank account is usually
depleted, and when contracted
obligations become due; cons
equently, it is natural that he
should realize at once,
We propose to have the farmers
obligations fall due later, when
the new system is established, and
store the wheat in growers hands,
obtaining money from banks or
other sources to tide over i'm
mediate necessities. By this means
the usual early rush Of wheat that
fairly deluges the market will be
avoided, prices will be maintained
on a steady basis all the year round

hands of growers instead Of

Hints.

Try washing the hands in mustard
water to remove unpleasant odors, such
rs onions or fish.
When making mashed potatoes into
cakes, rub the hands with -four to pre-
vent potato sticking to them.
If you have a piazza begin to make
much of it, Breakfast is q prosaic meal
in too many houses, but If it is served
"a la rustic" even simple viands will
taste different.
Sandwiches prepared in advance OF the
serving can be kept rs fresh as when
first spread by wrapping them in a nap
kin wrung out of hot water, and then
placing them in cool place.
An odd but palatable dish Is made by
frying onions nice brown, then adding
a can of tomatoes; season with pepper
and salt and one teaspoonful of allspice;
cook all together few minutes. Serve
plain or on toast, as desired.
To make strawberry preserves, hull
the strawberries the night before pre-
serving them, and to bowl of sugar put
the same amount of strawberries. Let
them stand over night. This will form
all the liquid necessary for preserving.
Boil this mass just twenty minutes after
it begins to boil. Then seal in dry glass
jars.
When the spring days come, try get
ting up very early in the morning and
doing the hot, firing work before break
fast. Take cup OF COCOA or a glass of
hot milk to start on. You can then
have a good free day to divide among
other occupations, long nap, of course,
being delightful, well-earned rest that
must come when you feel you most
need it. Planning ones work Is two
thirds of the story Of toll told.
Two potatoes grated together In
basin of warm water are far better than
soap for washing delicate silk, flannel or
wooden goods.
If, when baking. the oven should get
too hot, place basin of cold water in 1t.
This will cool the oven, and the steam
which rises from the water will prevent
the contents from burning.
To remove coffee stains, rub thorough
ly with pure, clean glycerine; this will
remove stains caused by coffee from
wooden and other materials. The place
should be afterward we'll washed with
lukewarm water and ironed on the
wrong side till dry.
If coal is kept in dry and airy place
it will burn much better than II placed
in a close, badly ventilated cellar. Coal
that is excluded from the air soon gets
rid of its gas, and the absence OF this
renders It moro wasteful when burned.
Serve balls Of chicken salad on nastur-
