Mas New Husband.

"Ma's New Husband" which is
announced as the attraction at the
opera house on Friday Nov. 18th is a
farcical comedy of the musical type.
1t has perfectly sane plot, with none
of the extravagances SO common to
plays of its class. The central figure,
which is denoted in the title, is clever
and ingenious actor with whom fortune
had dealt hardly. Pinched financially
by his failure on the road and through
inability to market his plays, he is at
his wits end to make both ends meet.
To heighten the misery of his plight,
he is in love with charming widow
whose worldly goods have also been
swept away by misfortune. This widow
has rich bachelor cousin, who luckily
invites her to his home when her affairs
look most forbidding. She is passion
ately fond of her lover and cannot bear
the thought of parting. Together they
conceive the plan Of making him pose
as her son and so they visit her cousin,
whose home becomes the scene of the
most sidesplitting complications owing
to the supposed relationship. Guests.
servants and host, aswell, as the lovers.
are all involved in the merry train
Of circumstances, until the actor de-
clares his identity and proves his right
to the title Of ''Ma's New Husband
instead Of son. The musical numbers
are tuneful and popular, the kind that
catch the ear and become familiar IN
the home and on the street. Special
guaranteed Co. by E. w. Bittman.

How Stand of Clover is Obtained.

How a Stand of Clover is Obtained.
Prof. Thomas Shaw claims that clover
can be grown successfully from the
Red river to the Montana line and from
South Dakota as far north as the Can
adam boundary. No doubt Prof. Shaw
is correct if the right method of grow
ing clover is practiced. Such method
has not been worked out yet but all the
indications are that it is to be found in
the practice of growing clover without
a nurse crop on land that has been pre-
viously manured. Perhaps the best
possible condition to grow clover would
be to put it on corn or potato land
which had been manured with q manure
spreader which had about twenty-five
pounds of soil evenly scattered on each
load of manure from a clover field that
is we'll inoculated with clover bacteria.
This method gives a seed bed that is in
the right mechanical condition, has an
abundant supply of water stored up in
the soil, contains an abundance of avail
able food, and becomes thoroughly in
noculated with the special bacteria
without which clover cannot do well.
If man wants to make big money
and at the same time increase the fer
tility of his soil, if he is west of the
Red River Valley, he should SOW few
acres of clover without nurse crop on
soil that has been manured, preferably
corn or potato ground. If weeds come
up, he should cut them with the mower
with the bar set high enough to pass
over the clover plants beneath. The
second year the clover should be cut
for hay the latter part of June and the
second crop for seed. This crop should
be cut about the middle of September
and can be threshed in an ordinary sep
arator fairly we'll if corrugated teeth
be used, and the cylinder be set up
tight. To get all the clover seed and
clover straw it should be run through
the separator twice. Clover has been
yielding from two to six bushels per
acre in the state, and when it is worth
from $1,000 per bushel, it actually beats
dollar wheat as paying crop, and at
the same time it increases the fertility
of the land. Any farmer in the state
west of the valley will make no mis-
take if he tries small field of medium
red clover, without nurse crop in the
spring of 1909.
Conclusion: These experiments with
clover on the Demonstration Farms
seem to indicate that it is not wise to
sow clover with nurse crop in North
Dakota outside of the Red River Valley.
Even then a nurse crop that comes off
the ground quickly and does not offer
too heavy shade, such as barley should
be used.

payne, declaring as she did so, II
name thee North Dakota" S..
Among the invited guests who wit
hessed the launching Of the battleship
was John Burke. the newly re-elected
governor of North Dakota. ss
The launching Of the North Dakota
means the introduction of a new type
Of warship in the American navy. She
will be the first American all big gun
battleship or real Dreadnought to fly
the Stars and Stripes.
The North Dakota will have a dis
placement Of 4, 900 tons more than any
other vessel in the navy. The Connec-
ticut and vessels of her type have
displacement OF SIG. 600 tons and were
considered monsters in their time.
Then at single step the advancement
was made to 10000 tons. The weight
of the British dreadnaught is surpassed
by a thousand tons, which is due largely
to the heavier armour and greater body
for TIE same dimensions. The North
Dakota will be $40 feet in length as
opposed to 450 feet on the part of the
Connecticut. She will have width of
IS feet as opposed to rs feet. She will
d:aw q feet of water as opposed to 24a
feet. In popular terms the great ship
will be two city blocks in length and of
bulk equal to four story building with
depth Of IS feet. It will have popu-
lation of 1000 souls, or as many people
as live in the ordinary county seat. If
she stood on end the battleship North
Dakota would be the same height as
the Washington monument and nearly
twice that of the Flatiron building. The
powers of the engines will be equal to
that Of 25,ooo horses or string of
them 40 miles long If they were har-
messed one ahead Of the other. So
great is the weight Of the vessel that
should it encounter an ordinary ferry
boat in fog, running that boat down
would hardly create q perceptible jar
Of the great craft. Turret No. IL 81
feet above the water line, while No. 2
is 50 fest up aud fires over the former.
No. 8 Is Sc feet above the water line
and Nos. 4 and s are "a feet. This
allows all to join in the broadsides
which do the effective work in warfare
and still leaves four guns that can play
direct ahead and four direct eastern.

Love.

"The factory stack was black mon
ument against the western sky. Its
dark clouds of smoke had drifted into
misty specks ON the horizon; and the
sun was shining triumphantly. Down
in the street man in a carriage flung
coin to ragged cripple, and the boy
hobbled after the money and smiled
his thankfulness To Ruskin that
smile was like gleam of light in
darkness. 1t awakened his old faith,
and silenced his conflicting fears; and
from the boys gratitude he snatched a
lesson that would abide with him for
ever. He had tried to define love be-
fore; he had thought the tender affect
ion he bore for his mother and the pas
sionate dreams he had dreamed of
Ruth covered it all. Now he was diff
ferently. Love was too broad thing
to admit of anyone definition. 1t was
a synonym for life. 1t was the SYM
pathy that tossed a coin to lame
street urchin; it was the forgiveness
that overlooked an enemy's faults il
was the courage that lifted the cross
from another's shoulders to bear it on
your own. From 1.-THE Fall of the
Mighty" by H. Graham Du Bois, in
Taylor Trotwood Magazine for June.

sought to found an indissoluble Ameri-
can union with liberty as the basis.
No state in the American union can
uphold condition which restricts the
fundamental rights of the American
citizens. The ballot is not only a
right, but it is the safeguard of the
weak as against the aggression of the
strong. 1t is the defense of the hum
BILE as against the despotism of the
proud. To gain readmission into the
union, certain Southern states pledged
that the Constitution of the State shall
never be amended or changed so as to
deprive any citizens of the right to
vote who are entitled to vote by the
constitution herein recognized, except
as a punishment for such crimes as are
now felonies at common law, whereof
they shall have been duly convicted
under the law, equally applicable to all
the inhabitants of the state. This was

Southern States of the war amendment

Why so much kicking about paying
preachers1 AS general thing when
you see a person kicking about sup
porting the ministry, it is a person
that seldom, if ever, goes to church,
and doesn know anything about what
the preachers talk about They only
know what somebody else says that
don't pay any attention to what the
preachers say We notice they quote
passages of scripture just to carry out
their part of the argument, so broth
ers, pay little to the support of the
ministry and don't kick so hard. We
think it will do more good. People as
! general thing. pay more out for the
en- njoyment of worldly things than they
do to preachers or widows and orphans
either
Wherever you see livery stable in
the city or country town the proprie-
tor hires his horses and rigs to the
young people to 60 buggy riding Sun
days, and takes in money Sundays the
same as week days. They forget that
Sunday is day of rest and they seld-
ON ever think about what the preach
er says after they leave the church
house. The livery stable man should
/ close his doors on Sunday Just the same
as the merchant does. He had as we'll
run his freight wagons as to hire out
his rigs on Sunday. 1t is not showing
much respect for the Sabbath to do
such things. We think there ought to
be law passed to prohibit a man who
runs livery stable from hiring out
his horses and rigs except in cases
where there is funeral or something
OF that kind. They would prosper as
we'll and their horses would get days
rest, but people are prone to take after
worldly things more than things that
are righteous. Parents should look af-
ter their girls more than they do. 1t
is all right for girls to go in society if
it is the right kind of society, such as
: church and Sunday school, but such as
theaters and dancing, and skating
, rinks are no places for girls, or boys
either AS rule young men that go
to dances and other worldly places are
adapted to drinking whiskey. Girls
should not keep company with boys
that drink whiskey, but they forget
themselves for the sake of society and
, keep company with boys that drink.
