neighboring ranch lived Dennis Mor0ney,
her school fellow and playmate, When
they ceased to be children and entered
their youth, Dennis had more serious,

He was very devoted to her and she

Patron Saint Of Ayiators.

IT has been stated that the Vatican

selecting "a patron saint for ayiatOrs, and
that it had been suggested that Elijah

originator Of the story seems 10 have
not taken into account that Elijah was
an Old Testament character and as
such would be ineligible. No doubt, GO

Doing Something Well.


Those who sympathize with the unsuc-
cesstul girl or woman, and try to help
her along. come out of each doleful eX-
perience nearly always with the same
discouraged comment-"If she could only
do some one thing wellr' There is a
chance in life for a woman who can
make good bread. or write quick and
clear hand, or read proof excellently, or
even pack a trunk in first class style.
Girls have succeeded in supporting them
selves steadily by mending, by washing
and caring for bric-a-brac, by gardening,
by shopping for others, by cleaning laces.
by nursing and caring for sick pets, by
all sorts of Out-of-the-way occupations
but i'll every such case there was the
ability and the will to do one thing well,
and to keep on doing it better all the
while
The girl who does not know how to
DO anything well, and does not see why
she should be skilled in anything what
ever is always with us. She is a bur
den to our sympathies when she is des-
ttute. When she is of well-to-do origin,
and needs no charitable aid, she is none
the less a sad and useless spectacle She
graduates into the mother who has to

Man has no right to question wo-
mans age-to even think about it.
A woman, bless her, is as old as she
makes out or makes up and not a day
older. Man is out of his latitude
when he begins trying to locate wo-
mans age longitude. 1t is her privi-
lege to conceal her age in any form or
manner she may choose, and it is
mans prerogative to assist her as
much as possible rather than hinder
or question her in any way. Man
owes it to himself to see that she is
supplied with every % OF conceal
ing her age Of any new wrinkle which
she chooses to keep from the gaze
of the oyer-curious public. Man is
not supposed to be young or beauti-
full. He couldn't be if he wanted to be

WARNS TIMES EDITOR TO
LOOK OUT.

Editor Homer Ressler of the Stark
weather Times came down today. Mr..
Ressler is leading the fight to make
and keep Starkweather a clean town,
aplace 0 fhomes, good society, schools
and churches. For several years
Starkweather has had the reputation
of being one of the cleanest towns
in the state, but since Silver Serum
gard was defeated for states attorney
blind piggers have commenced to
make trouble again. So bold and de-
faint has one of them become that he
has threatened the Times Editor with
bodily injury if he continues to Inter-
fere with his Observation-Disclosures
and legitimate as described by the
Inter-O OCEAN, and serious trouble is
expected to take place any time. The
decent element of the community is
backing up Editor Ressler and they
propose to clean up the town even if
it becomes necessary to do it with
shot guns. Things have come to a
pretty pass when a man cannot advo-
cat law enforcement without subject
ing himself to bodily harm at the
hands of blind piggers.
Editor Ressler is of the opinion that
if Judge Cowan would impose one
year sentences as a minimum punish
ment the Substantial and legitimate
pig industry would lose some Of its
charms.-Deyils Lake Journal.

Hint to Home Builders.

Select the highest point of
ground on your lot to put your
house on, so as to permit perfect
drainage. Excavate your base
ment sufficiently large to give
you plenty of room to work on
your foundation walls from both
sides, thus insuring the con-
struction Of a well built wall, in
depent of the dirt banks. and do
not omit to build good substantial
concrete footings under all foun-
dation walls and chimneys.
When your foundation walls
are all completed, fill up the
space left between the dirt bank
and stone wall to within six inch
es of the grade line with coarse
gravel and sand, tamping same
thoroughly to make it compact
and solid; then fill on black dirt
up to grade line, sloping same off
gently from all sides of the foun-
dation wall to insure good drain
age.
Whether built of stone, brick,
concret or cement blocks, all
foundation walls should have an
airspace in them, particularly
from the grade line up, to pre-
vent frost and moisture from
penetrating the walls.
Use nothing but the best
grades of lime, cement and brick
in all foundation work, and re-
member that you get nothing
but the best if you buy these
goods from the Beidler & Robin.

Good Wheat Bread.

Tests of flour grown in North Da-
kota this year show a remarkable adj
vance of bread qualities over that
grown in past years. An analysis OF
a number of samples show that the
percentage of gluten contained in the
wheat this year is much. greater than
last. One sample which showed a
thirty-two percentage OF gluten WIS
from the same locality which tested
but twenty-seven and twenty-eight
per cent last year. One sample from
near Dickinson this year showed near
sly forty per cent Of gluten.
This condition is the more remark
able because of the extremely wet
period during the early season. This
would have a tendency to increase the
starch and consequently lower the
percentage of gluten. But the sam
pies tested show that the present
crop largely overcame this disadvan-
tage.
When the percentage of gluten is
low millers are forced to mix with
such other wheat in which the per-
centage is higher, thereby stricking
something near an average. The glut-
en- should approximate thirty-three to
thlrty-hve per cent in order to make
good bread and the Red River Valley
wheat is not far below the standard
this year.--Evening Times.

GOOD ROADS

A number of state papers have been
calling attention to the need of road
Improvement in North Dakota. In
few states are conditions naturally
more. favorable to the making of
good roads than here, or at less ex-
pense. The greater trouble seems to
be the lack of scientific and modern
information as to road building on
the part of those who, under our de-
fective road laws, have charge of
this important work. There is no
uniformity in the work and the sys-
TEN under which it is done does not
produce the best results for the
money. In this connection it may
be of profit to many interested in this
subject to know the great success
attained in Pennsylvania on a model
road known as the Hummelstown
pike near Harrisburg. This road is
made of a mixture of water gas tar,
cement, liquid asphaltum, road oil,
carbolic disinfecting powder, sulph-
ate of copper, and oil of wintergreen.
The. sulphate of copper is used to
prevent the oils from becoming ig-
nited, and the w~intergreen counter
acts the odor of the others. There
is. nothing disagreeable about the
smell. A curious effect of the mix
ture is its d~isinfecting power. Dur
ing the past year there was not a
single contagious disease in that sec
ton. The cost of applying the mix
ture i, 5 ! cents a square yard.
The cement binds the dirt together
like stone, and the oils make it water
proof, SO that it readily sheds water.
The road is never muddy, and, unlike
a tar road, does not become slippery
IN winter time. Frost has no effect on
it at all, as the mixture will not freeze.
The cost of applying is very small, as
1T is sprinkled on like water. That
the method and the mixture is a per-
feet success has been shown this sum-
mer Despite the heavy automobile
and wagon traffic, the road is perfect
sly smooth and very hard, and it has
met the test in every way.-Fargo
