The Weather.

We have had quite spell of weather
the last seven days. After some rather
abnormal warmth the first of last week
with the thermometer getting into the
SOS at times. Thursday finished with the
beginning of cold rain and kept on
raining most of the time until Sunday,
when it changed to snow. Not great
deal fell and that melted away quite
rapidly, but Tuesday night and Wednes-
day were rather cold, with ice forming
to nearly an inch in thickness. In some
ways the moisture will be very benefi-
cial, and particularly to the grass.
Wheat seeding was in various stages ac-
cording to the locality, and somewhat as
to the farmer. Some parts were almost
entirely finished and others just begun.
The ground was drying very rapidly on
Tuesday and Wednesday, and as the
ground was quite dry before the rain the
surplus moisture will soon disappear
and the work of seeding will soon be
completed. Further south the snow
fall was much greater, st. Paul report
ing the largest fall of the winter. Col
orado, Arkansas and Kansas report kill
ing frosts that has damaged the fruit
trees, which we're all in bloom, and
probably ruined the crop. Here moth
ing was far enough advanced to be in
jured. About the same time tornado
went through Mississippi, Louisiana and
Georgia and it is thought not less than
300 persons lost their lives and more
than one thousand were injured. So
Moth Dakota is not the worst place for
weather after all.

According to the Hallock News of
last week meeting was held in that
place and preliminary baseball organi-
cation effected. A notable article in the
organization was that no outside help
should be hired. This is a point the
Pioneer Express has always advocated,
and one that the patrons Of these local
towns approve Of. 1t is no credit to q
town that they hire lot Of profess
sional players ut big salaries to 60 mas
querading around the country playing
these local clubs. There is not town
in the Red River Valley that has been
able to hire professional players to play
Tor them but have ample material ct

"Was She to Blame?" is true story
of the lights and shadows of life. The
plot deals with rural life in Vermont and
London society. The play had a long
run in New York. Chicago, Boston and
other cities. While being very sympa-
thetic story it also has pleasing vein Of
humor and comedy running through
the whole play. The leading role Of
Diane, assumed by Mrs. Stuttz, affords
ample opportunity for her emotional
powers. Mr.. Stuttz will be seen at his
best in the part of Eli Washington Pan
cake, the newly elected justice of the
peace of Huckleberry, Shamplane
county, Vermont. He represents good
natured tiller of the soil, has recently
been elected to the Office of justice and
wants everybody to know of it. The
play affords the opportunity for the
audience to enjoy fine display Of
dramatic art as we'll as amusing2comedy.

nings of this week. "The Bells Of
Shandon' tomorrow evening. Seats at

Now, when you are buying your gar
den seeds, you will make no mistake if
you select them from the D. M. Ferry
& Co. box that you will find in most
every store that sells good seeds in the
land. They have been in the seed bust
ness since most always-and experience
is worth something in the seed business.
If they were not reliable they would not
be doing the largest seed business in
the country.

CRITICISM OF AMERICAN COOKS
Famous German Chef Found But ON
Dish Worthy Of Imitation.

Albert Neumann, chef to her i'm
perial highness the Prussian Crown
Princess Cecelie. has returned from
tour in America a disappointed
man.
He was dispatched to this land Of
unlimited possibilities to search high
and low for some culinary delicacies
better than anything made In Ger
many. and all he brought back worthy
of imitation, he reports. is the clam
chowder.
Altogether he found American cook
ing devoid of novelty or especial ex-
cellence. He says the only good Amer
lean cooking is French. Indeed, he
says that the real American cooking
is simply barbaric-always excepting
the clam chowder, which he hopes to
make a favorite dish at the crown
princess table.
Herr Neumann was rather as
tonished at the failure Of the Ameri-
can hotel cooks to achieve distinction.
for he found they had everything to
do 1t with. Our hotels. he says, have
kitchen arrangements which for ex-
tensiveness, cleanliness and complete
ness equal those of the finest royal
palaces in Europe.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t Is astonishing how great change .
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from .
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form of it
