them there.
Just as she was stopping to gather
some of the finest flowers she heard
step behind her. and, looking around
beheld a tall. handsome young chap
of about il years of age. A smile
| fitted over Estelle's face as she rose
and bowed low to the stranger, "Ah, do
you wish a nosegay, sir?" she said
prettily, knowing that the youth was
her second cousin. Frank, who was
doubtless stretching his legs by walk,
ing about the grounds after his tire
some and long train ride.
with pleasure, smiled Frank,
reaching for the blossoms. and
whom have the pleasure of thanking
for these?' he asked
ooh, Mrs Browns COOK said
Estelle, dropping her face to hide the
look of mischief lurking there.
"Ah-h-h!" And Frank fairly gasped.
why, are you-you-a-a-''
Yes, a cook and you shall sample
my dinner in five minutes declared
Estelle, land I beg, your pardon, sir,
for being so bold as to speak to you;
but l think you are one of the newly
arrived guests, aren't you?"
And their she tripped away, going
into the kitchen and closing the door
behind her, leaving Frank looking
after her in amazement "Whew! If
she's a cook! Well, I'll get my hat!
She's as pretty as blossom-and
such manners and language and
voice! Why, I'd swear she was
born lady
Then he returned to the house and
all went into the dining room. where
Estelle, shorn Of the big kitchen apron
and her face blushing and smiling, re-
ceived them and was introduced to
Uncle Ned and Frank
"Cook!" And Frank took both
Estelle's hands in greeting. We'll
knew there was mistake some
where"
mo, just good joke laughed
Estelle. And then as they all en-
joyed the delightful dinner Mrs.
Brown explained their dilemma re-
garding their cook, saying: And it is
Esteile's own dinner, planned and pre-
pared by herself that you now have
before you"
'Ah. wonderful cried Uncle Ned.
And now | understand why Estelle
did not come to greet us on our ar
rival"
IF you'd caught her as l did-back
in the garden" said Frank, Knowingly,
you'd have seen her in her kitchen
regalia And it's awfully becoming,
too O.
You'd best pay attention to your
grape fruit. sir" said Estelle with
mock gravity And as for kitchen
regalia-wel how do you like flirting
with the cook?"
Then the laugh was at Franks eX-
pense. his father saying dryly:
I'll have to keep watchful eye on
you, Frank, if you're given to visiting
the little cooks flower garden. Next
thing We'll have you asking her to
take a stroll with you through the
park, eh?"
And so Estelle saved the day, and
the dinner and the visit were de-
cided success, and Frank at parting
said bending over her pretty hand:
Cousin what would you think if
should tell you that | should love to
correspond with a cook LADY,"
In order to get all her secret
recipes for dainty dishes. I presume.
retorted Estelle. And again Frank
was the subject Of laughter.

NEW PASTOR
Three Possibilities, All Progress.
sive Men, Being consideed as
Pastor of Local Church. Rev.
Gress Goes to La Moure

Rev. franklin w. Gress is 10 in
attendance at the Methodist conference
at jamestown and expects to be sent to
La Moure for the coming year.
Who will be the next pastor of the
Dickinson church is not fully known and
will not be until the appointments are
made by the bishop of the conference
next Sunday night or Monday morning.
There are three men who have been
considered as possibilities for the church
here. Rev. E. F. Beer of New Rockford,
Rev. J. S. belong of Fargo and Rev. C.
A. Mcnamara of Lisbon. All three are
strong men and whoever is selected will
assure the local church of a live worker
and the city of a valued addition to its
list of public spirited citizens.
MI. Beer had the honor of preaching
the conference ermom this week and it
is learned from good authority that he
would be willing to come here if pos
sible. Mr.. Mcnamara is the treasurer
of the conference and would make a fine
man. Mr.. belong is pastor of the Broad
way M. E. church of Fargo, which, while
not the largest church of that denomina-
ton in that city. is a progressive parish
and up-to-date in every way. Of the
three candidates, the chances + that
belong will be selected.

Farmers Institutes

The management of the North Dakota
Farmers Institute is planning a series
of meetings for the winter session. The
circuit will commence about December
1st..
Prof. Thos. Shaw has again been Sc
cured as a lecturer for the coming sea-
son. He is making special preparation
for this institute circuit.
Speakers of outstanding ability OF
men who have distinguished themselves
along agricultural and other useful lines
will be secured from time to time as
opportunities afford. We hope to place
the work IN a higher plane than ever
before.
Towns wishing to have a meeting this
winter should send in their applications
at an early date. Commercial or Farmers
Clubs, private individuals or organiza-
lions may apply for meetings. All the
expense to the town locally will be to
furnish a comfortable hall.

RAILROAD SURVEY
Engineer Huss Now in Coutury
South Prospecting for Most Ad-
vantageous Route for Poposed
Road, Accompanied byWhite

Interest in the proposed railroad from
the Milwaukee to Dickinson was aroused
again Tuesday when a telegram was
received from Hon. George Heaton who
is n of the capitalists interested in
the project, stating that an engineer
would arrive here Wednesday for the
purpose of going over the country south
of here and getting a line on where the
best route would be. Mr.. Huss was
present at a meeting of the Commercial
club Wednesday evening at which time
it vas voted to leave the matter with the
special railroad committee appointed
a couple of months ago, consisting of A.
Hilliard, chairman, A. 7. Crowl. L. A.
Simpson, G. M. Frye, ]. G. Quinlivan,
W. L. Richards. George A. Senour, Fred
Roquette and John van der Las.
Only four of the committee were pre-
sent. Messrs Crowl, van der Las, Senour
and Frye, but as the engineer was here
it was decided that it was necessary
to hurry the matter and a meeting of
those present was held. O. S. Chase,
who is very familiar with the country
south was also present and conferred
with the committee as to the best route
to take on the prospecting trip. The
engineer and a representative of the club
in the person of ALI White left Thursday
going by way of Black Buttes to Lem
mon and thence around to Hettinger.
This is only a preliminary examination
of the country in order that the engineer
may get some idea of the country to work
upon. Until they return from this trip it
will be impossible to give much of an
idea of where it is proposed to lay out
the road. They expect to be gone seueal
days. ~.

So many people have. expressed a de-
sire to hear again Karl %Reidelsberger.
the violinist, who gave a concert here
under the auspicies of Company X. ten
days ago. that the company has arranged
with the Professor to give another recital
in the armory next Wednesday evening
at $50 O'Clock. The soloists will in
clude beside the Professor, Mrs. ]. H.
Wood, soprano. Mrs. j. E Messersmith,
violinist, Miss . Elsa, S%charfenbere,

A dance will be held after the concert
with MI. Reidelsberger directing the
orchestra.
The Bismarck Tribune. in speaking Of
the recital given by Mr.. Reidelsberger
and Miss S~charfenberg in that city last
week said: THE concert given by Karl
Reidelsberger last evening was one Of
the finest entertainments ever given in
Bismarck. AS a master of the violin.
he has no equal in the country. Not
only has he a thorough musical educa-
tion. but he also has the power of ex-
pressing it in perfect and delightful har-
mony. . 4F
A very pleasing innovation is a brief
sketch of each author and the particular
Interpretation he is about to give. In
addition to the charm of his exquisite
music, he has an excellent accompani-

In an article year ago. the writer
showed the great difference that may
exist in different varieties of potatoes
in regard to the size of the tuber. BY
means of cuts and figures, it was shown
that n variety may be very much more
valuable than another variety because
the percentage of marketable tubers is
greater although the difference in yield
of the two varieties is not great. One
variety was shown that had less than
ten per cent of small, unmarketable
tubers while a variety that went to the
opposite extreme, had 100 per cent
small tubers. Between these two ex-
temes were. other varieties, some ap-
preaching the better. type. The con-
clusion reached in that article was that
1t does not pay to plant small potatoes
for seed provided that the small tubers
come from q variety that runs in that
direction. The size of the tuber is,to a
large extent a variety character. The
farmer should avoid q variety that con-
| 046C0ex04kC4y Va o110k UICS, #a# FEE.r.etH 81.
The query. does it pay to plant small
potatoes, is still not entirely answered.
One may have a good variety that pro-
duces only q small percentage Of small
ones. Can q farmer afford to plant the
small tubers Of a good variety? AS far
as the character of the offspring is con-
cerned. it probably does not make a
great deal of difference. This is the
common experience Of the farmers.
Small tubers Of a good variety are
planted and about the same percentage
of small tubers are harvested as was
found in the previous crop It is
possible there is a slight deteriora-
tion. In regard to the quality of the
offspring it seems reasonable to sup Up
pose, and experience bears out the
superstition that the larger tubers will
produce more bushels per acre than will
the small tubers. This is due largely, if
not wholly, to the fact that the large
tuber produces a larger and stronger
plant than; does the small tuber. More
leaves are formed and 50 a larger
amount Of starch is manufactured to be
laid down in the tuber.
While the yield may be increased.
the increase may not be great enough
to warrant the increased cost of seed.
Experiments to determine this point have
been, carried on at several experiment
stations and in several instances at
least, it has been found that the in
creased yield from the whole tubers
was not great enough to warrant the use
Of the whole tubers for seed. This e.
pertinent was carried out at the Dickin-
son experiment station during the sea-
son Of 1908. The figures are interest,"
ing If not conclusive. It must be re
membe1ed that the results of such an
experiment are governed largely by the
conditions of the season and so the re-
suits of several seasons are necessary iii
order to be able to lay down, q principle
that the farmers may govern themselves
