the costsof good cultivation. Any
coarse material can be used for a
mulch. Old hay or straw or even
coarse stable litter can be Used II free
from grain and weed seeds. The
mulch should be about 4 inches deep,
and is best spread Just before the
plants appear, the ground having been
first narrowed once or twice after
planting. Rather large seed pieces
give better results than small ones
where potatoes are to be maiche1,
since they give the plants the strength
required TO force their way up through
the straw. The seed pieces should be
planted 2 or inches deep, and The

Too Late for Last Week.l


The roads are very bad but we are
looking for them to be still worse before
spring opens up. The fact that most of
those attending the election a week ago
walked instead of driving is of itself
good evidence that the roads are bad.
This spring the snow seems to be GO
ing off with little prospects of flooding
the coulies and lakes. There are some
of the weather wise ones around here
who still claim to know that there is
more snow and storms to come before
spring properly opens up.
The family of Charley Heimbecker are
intending to leave here, moving to the
Canadian Northwest, about the first of
the month. Mr.. Heimbecker's plans,
however, have undergone somewhat of
a change since he found that the govern
ment authorities on the Canadian side
of the line are refusing to make ship
ments of live stock from this side. ow-
ing recent changes of the quarantine
law for cattle. There are several in this
neighborhood who plan leaving here for
new homes in the west this spring.

tricts and we may be delayed here for
a day, a week or two weeks. So you see
that you good people of North Dakota
are not the only ones who are enjoying
blockades of the beautiful snow There
are quite a number of American, Eng
fish, German and other ~nationahties
here with us and all are seemingly en-
joying themselves. Wines and liquors
are used to a great extent here at meals
and it looks quite familiar to Americans
to see bottles of whiskey on the tables
labeled "Walker's Canadian Club" and
"SchlitZ," the beer that made Milwaukee
famous. We expect.that cur next i'm
portant stop will be at Athens from
which place we go to Constantinople and
if | have time | will write you again
from one of the other of these places.
Our latest news from home dates back
on the 10th day of February and as |
hardly need to tell you was snowbound
for some days before the letter got out
side of North Dakota. 1t also told US of
the way in which mails and railroad
traffic generally were at that time tied
up by the drifts that blockaded traffic.
If this condition continues to exist you
must have matter for your paper in
order to fill it up and l an in hopes that
under these circumstances my letters
may not find their way into the editorial

the greatest if not the greatest temples
of the world were built here. The an

this time in an excellent state of
preservation and we're built by the
Phenicians previous to the beginning of
the christian era. The Romans con
quored this country after the birth of
Christ and built and completed most of
the larger temples now standing. The
Roman style of architecture and sculp-
ture is here seen in the highest state of
perfection. Many of the columns of the
temples still standing are seventy feet in
height, besides the cap stones. raising
the columns several feet higher. In

sixty feet in length, twelve feet in height
and twelve feet in thickness and today
they stand as one of the architectural
wonders of building among the a%ncients
People who view them wonder how these
massive stones were brought from the
quarries and placed in the building.
The artistic work that is displayed in
these temples is simply wonderful. The
largest of these temples was dedicated
to the gods of Heliapolis. Others are
dedicated to Bacchus, Venus and others
of heather mythology. Some parts of
these temples still are covered with
roofs and the beauty and design in every

THE TRIMMINGS HELP OUT.

Let others lead the simple life,
But till l get it through me
That bran DER beefsteak has the bulge
The complex life will do me.
Such sweet simplicity perhaps
Is very nice to talk about.
But I am not the only one
Who'd rather ride than walk about.
It's all right if you like the stuff
To have chopped hay and truck like
that,
But l confess / do not pray
For any kind Of luck like that.
1t may be nice to brag that you
Are DER the flesh victorious.
But I would much prefer to be
A trifle mor uproarious.
An automobile or a horse
Perhaps YOU do not need about,
And walking to and from Your work
Is very nice to read about,
And for an outing 1t is fine
To wander sweetly In the woods,
But still a private a helps some
II you're there neatly with the
goods.
II one is over ninety-six
The simple life is good enough,
But for a chap of twenty-one
1t doesn't quite saw wood enough.

II thirty cents is all your stuff.

Esperanto.

Esperanto.
A kind hearted doctor in Russia has
taken Il few minutes off and invented
a universal language, the only thing
lacking being the ability of everybody
to speak it.
The idea Of the doctor is to take
common household words with which
The ordinary man has been raised and
Incorporate a few from each language,
so that everybody who begins will
have a working basis.
Then he arises and in a naughty but
impressive manner throws the gram
mar out of the window and substitutes
for it q few short rules and regulations,
and the language is completed redhot
from the griddle and ready for instant
use.
1t looks easy on the face Of things,
but will the average man be willing to
give up the language with which he
threw stones when a boy just because
he has found one that would have been
easier to learn had he learned it in the
6rst place?
