BANKS RESUME
CASH PAYMENTS
Money Again Being Paid
on Demand by Banks
in Minneapolis

Minneapolis, Dec. :W Concerto
action on the part Of the banking in
stitut ions of the city Of Minneapolis
has been taken, resulting in the COM
plcte resumption ofbll>incSs on Il CASH
paying basis. and money is now being
paid on demand.
In Chicago. for instance. the news
is said to be most reaSs,ring and it is
tile belief that there will he Il much
more rapid return TO the caSl,-mying
system in that city on account of the
action taken here. as the condit ions
there are to Il large measure reflected
in this city. and vice versa.
The conditions in Minneapolis are
exactly now as they were before the
monetary stringency period and the
wise manner in which the whole mat
ter has been handled by those in
charge Of the banks has resulted in
people generally relying more than
ever before upon the wise Judgment.
and conservative methods Of the bank

after proceeding step by step cautious

iouS officials of the banks of Minneap0-
lis believed that the time had arrived
when it was both expedient and prop

ing business and to allow money, for
a brief period slightly held back, to
flow through proper channels.

les,ion depends on proper husbandry.
The following list of corn varieties
suitable to North Dakota conditions,
prepared by II. J. Hughes, an ad-
vanced student at the North Dakota
Agricultural College, will be OF wide
interest Il, this time of year when
farmers are securing seed and making
plans for the coming year. The dent
varieties are listed in order OF earli-
ness. as are also the flint varieties.
The earliest flint variety is little
earlier than the earliest dent. The
varieties here given have been raised
at the Fargo Experiment Station, and
some Of them along the mort iern
boundary of the state.

mel small. deep, wedge shaped. rough,

M) Longfellow. Same general type
as Triumph. save that ears are reg
lllarly eight rowed. and the kernels;
are boader. Longfellow and Triumph,

~ King Philip. Small red ear.
Crowns tinged with yellow. Rows
IS. Well shaped cob, large shank, kr'-
nels broad and not deep.
While other varieties may doub, less
prove of value, these have been exiei-
sively tested at the North Dakot;,
station and have been found generally
adapted TO our climatic conditions.
Golden Dent, LongfelIow and Tri-
umph are among the BEST judged by
type of ear.
\ mature ear of corn, adapted to
our climate, is firm on the cob, OF
rather small size, as viewed by the
man from the corn belt, full from
butt to tip, with tip we'll covered by
kernels. An uncovered tip indicates
a late maturing type Of corn, as does
also looseness on the cob. The cob
should be solid, and weigh about j.
per cent of the total weight Of the
ear.

DENATURED
ALCOHOL
May Now be Used For Heating
and Lighting Purposes

Considerable has been said with re-
gard to the possibility Of using de-
natured alcohol successfully for heat
ing and lighting purposes. Statistics
show good growth for denatured al
cohol during the present year in fact,
in excess of what was estimated by
the Congressional Committee. 1t is
interesting to note at this time also
that there has just recently been
brought out u series of lamps using
alcohol for lighting purposes. These
are patterned very much after the
usual house lamp, but have the ad-
vantage of the incandescent mantle

the market tiat-ironS so constructed
as to be heated and used like the elec-
trio iron, but it has the additional
advantage that it may be carried
about from place to place, and an
electric current is not necessary for

Sometimes softer feelings fill
her heart, as she dreams OF
that dear old home she left
for this One-the home that
sheltered her childhood and
youth; and as she thinks of
her beloved parents, her
brothers and sisters, the light
the warmth and love in the
old homestead, no wonder,
she bows her head and weeps
by her lonely fireside, like a
g1ieved, homesick child. Of

Notes From Washington

From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
The bill to provide for an
emergency currency. prepared
by Senator Aldrich, chairman of
the Committee on Finance, in
PRODUCED on Tuesday, is the
chief topic of discussion by Re-
publicans and Democrats alike.
The Democrats have not COM
mitted themselves in regard to
the measure anG there is hope
full feeling among the Repub-
licans that little opposition will
be made to it by them. While
Speaker Cannon would have pre-
ferred a progressive tax on the
proposed new circulation, in or
der to force it's retirement as
soon as possible, he is in accord
with the general provisions Of
the measure and this will, of
course, go long way toward
smoothing it's passage through
Congress. The expectation is
that the Aldrich measure, which
is entitled IA bill to amend the
national banking laws" will be
taken up by the Finance Com
mittee for consideration on Tues
day next, and will continue to be
considered by this committee.
to the exclusion of other bust
ness, until an agreement is
reached to report it to the Senate.
The leaders in Congress are of
the opinion that the bill will go
through the Senate in a compare
lively short time and that it's
prospects are. equally good in
the House.

The greatest qualification is
expressed over the annual re-
port of the Secretary of War
just issued in which he deals
with the needs Of the army.
Many critics Of our army have
pointed out the inadequacy of
pay given TO enlisted men and
have argued if we paid them
more we would secure better
soldiers. But Secretary Taft.
with his customary acuteness of
mind and his trained analy tical
powers, has discovered the weak
spot in our military strength
and has forthwith put his finger
on it. He suggests army SER
vice as career" for the rank
and file, and is of the opinion
that the men would enlist with
out hesitation if they could see
anything worth the winning in
army life, anything attractive
for the future.

our feelings, against our
judgement, against our SYM
pathy, but not against our
pity. We did pity him, and
that was the extent of our
recognition. He was dressed
faultlessly-that is, if the ex-
treme of latter-day fashion
can be called faultless; he had
beautiful white hands and
teeth, his hair was parted in
the middle. his downy
mustache adroitly curled, a
gold mounted eye-glass
dangled from a button hole
of his vest, and a ''nObby"
little walking stick was
twisted in his bejeweled lady
fingers. He was proud to say
that he was a 'gentleman of
leisure. I" We inferred as
much before he saidit. What
else could have been inferred?
What earthly use could the
mortal thing be put to?

his mind was as vacant as an
exhausted receiver; and he
seemed to have no excuse for
living except to advertise
some tailoring establishment.

of this country that such

A Great Evil

Our race grOanS under
evils, and carries burdens
heavy to be borne. Some of
these may be traced back to
the first sin, and are hey ond
our control; but most of them
are Of our own producing,
and may be arrested by a re-
solute act of the will, or by
aids which come from other
sources.
Two evils now fill the land
and world which are of human
invention, and are sustained
by human authority. One of
these is alcoholic drinks and
the other IS tobacco. Of the
latter we will say a few words.
This has grown and over
spread the nations of the
earth till now it challenges
observation, reflection, and
the exercise Of enlightened
conscience while looking the
facts in the face. Such is
it's extent that many millions
of acres are occupied in its
growth, producing millions
of tons annually and costing
the human race fifteen thous-
and millions of dollars. How
appalling such a state of
things while want and suffer
are all around US. Yet this
enormous expenditure is en-
tirely useless. No one claims
that he is better for the use
of tobacco in any form. 1t is
a mere habit, innocently
formed, and, while at first
perhaps pleasure, has grown
to be a master and a tyrant.
Not only this, but it an Of
fensive, filthy habit, finding

A Sermon to Husbands.

NAL failure in our first attempt
to preach a sermon. You
will find our text in the bible.
It is not necessary to give
the chapter and verse, but
look for it. In brief it is this:
Spend some of your evenings
at home with your wife and
children. IF you have an
amiable, gentle wife, surely
your home must be a pleasant
one, but if, from increasing
cares or other reasons, she
has grown fretful Or sullen,
who knows but q little more
attention or kindness on your
part might do a great deal to-
wards the return of the
amiability you SO much ad-
mired in her girlhood. 1t
you would stay at home often
er evenings, treating her
with something of the old
tenderness, making her be-
lieve, at least. that you are
not wholly Indifferent to her
happiness, you would soon
see a change for the better in
your household.
She has not forgotten the
time, if you have, mot very
long ago, perhaps) when her
society was all you asked for
to make the long evenings
pass delightfully."- away. Low
ing you as she did. she would
have gone on through life in
the same quiet way, content
ed and happy. But, alas,
you soon grew tired of the
same room evening after
evening, the same easy chair,
and the saddest of all, weary
of the society of your wife
impatient of the restraints of
home, longing for a change.
So you spend your evenings
away, meeting many gay,
campanionable fellows, who
entertain you with wit, song
and wine, and you fancy your
self delighted and charmed.
Perhaps there are moments
of reflection, when conscience
seems whispering to you of
the pure, holy influences of
home which you have SO reck-
lessly and unfeelingly cast
away from you. Your lonely
wife sits by the Preside,
watching and waiting for
your return through the hours
that drag slowly along, listen
ing eagerly to every football,
starting at every sound, fear
ing, she knows not what, yet
conscious always of the weary
heartache that seems wear
ing her life away.
Evening after evening she
watches your preparations for
departure, hoping. meanwhile
you will relent and stay at
home with her. Eut you
hastily don your hat and coat,
turninS your back resolutely
towards her, fearing to en-
counter that gaze of wistful
entreaty, foryou know she is
watching you, with tears
silently rolling down her pale
cheeks. You know it, still
you do not think best to
notice it, for you dislike a
scene. Tears annoy you ex-
ceedingly, SO you close the
door, perhaps with a bang,
trying hard to feel very in
dignant towards her for dar-
inU to weeD. even behind YOUR
