Conference With Commercial

The n. P. ROAD ALONE CUTS
NEW TARIFF WILL PLACE FARGO
JosRERs ON EQUAL FOOTING
WITH THOSE OF TWIN CITIES
SHIPPERS or STATE PLEASED
WITH. NEW AGREEMENT.

The board of railway commissioners
of North Dakota held a conference this
morning in Fargo with the rate COM
mittee of the commercial club, at
which time the announcement was
made that an adjustment of the dis
tance tariff had been agreed upon. The
new rate arrangement is acceptable, 1t
is said, both to the Northern Pacific
Railway Coz and the shippers of the
state. While the new tariff applies
only to the Northern Pacific road 1t
will result in placing the jobbers of
the state on a competing basis with
those of Minneapolis and st. Paul, the
rates on the other roads being such
that no reduction has been asked for.
This reduction will amount to about
a per cent cut on the distance tariff
of the Northern Pacific In this sta's
and several articles which are shipped
into this state have also been put on
the commodity rate, all of which viii

In tie German language there are
mole than 1000 different dialects.
There are more than 1900 dialects in
the French language. The patois of
the French is MOI e in vogue than the
pure liquid language of the Parisians.
l dare say English, however, is more
corr ectly spoken in the United States
according to Worcester's English Die
tionary than it is in England. Climatic
conditions have gre 1t deal to do with
pronunciation and clear and correct
enunciation. Along the seacoast of
the United States the broad sound of
"a" is invariably used while in the in
terror the sound of sd" becomes so fiat
it tilts backward. Therefore while a
Maineite or a Coast Carolinian will
pronounce 20 the word dance as "dahnce"
the backwoods people of Tenn esse e
will pronounce it "daynce." The Bos-
tonian says 'cawn'L" while the Ken
tuckian will invariably say "kain't."
On the whole, how ever, leaving out i'd
IONS and backwoOds dialects l have
no hesitancy in saying that the good
old, kings English is more corr ectly in
&c ieral vogue in the United States
than in England.

a man has sinned he must serve in

Hints for the EmbrOiderer

If you wish to embroider initials in
the corner of linen, table napkins, for
example, you will find the monogram
much easier to work if you sew the
corner to a square of linen so that it
may be stretched over the embroidery
rings. Where two pieces are to be
embroidered they may be whipped to-
gether end to end, or if four corners are
to be embroidered bring the four to a
point and stitch firmly. You will then
have no difficulty in keeping the mater
ial over the embroidery rings.
An excellent way in which to mark
scallops in anything which you wish to
embroider is to take a spool and place
it on the material where you wish to
make the scallops and with lead pencil
mark half way around the spool. Now
lower the spool a little so as to form a
scallop and mark half way around
again. Continue in this way until you
finish marking the material. A button
may also be used to mark scallops-
in fact, many women prefer to use two
buttons, one a little smaller than the
other, for marking them.
While many women realize the hem
stitching makes pretty finish for
household and other linens, they hest
tate undertaking to do any because of
the difficulty of drawing the threads. If
a piece OF white soap is rubbed over
the threads which are to be drawn the
work will be done easily.
When making the round perforation
for eyelet embroidery, hold a piece of
soap under the linen and pass the
stiletto into the soap. This will impart
slight stiffness to the surrounding
linen, which will insure the making OF
even, perfect embroidery.

Keeping Food Warm

Instead of placing food in the oven
to keep warm place the dish or pan
containing it over a pan of water and
put it on the stove. The water will
keep hot and the steam from it will
keep the food as hot as if it had just
been removed from the stove. This is
better than putting it in the oven, for
the food keeps moist and does not dry
it up as the heat of the oven does.
