the bona fide home seekers and
the purely speculative seekers
after a lucky strike. The latter
class will not care to know any
thing about the land. Enough
for them to hurry to the registra-
ton point and register. If at the
drawing they win an early num-
Der, good and Well-if not, they
will never attempt to make good
their chance. The other class
are the people this community
wants and needs the bona fide
land locker, farmer, and home
seeker. That individual will not
be satisfied with the mere act Of
registering. He will want to look
over the land in question. He will
want to see upon neighboring
lands the fruits of the farmers
efforts, as they may be seen all
through these parts this the first
year Of representative agricult
ural effort. He will want to talk
with those who coming hither
two or one year ago, are able to
speak with some degree Of ex-
perience. He will take his map
and study the lay Of the land,
and will see that he can get no
satisfactory information at Aber-
deem, which is $50 miles away.
He can find that Pierre is difficult
Of access on account Of insufficient
railroad service. Bismarck, he
will find it off the road he seeks
to travel, and too far away for
inspection Of the lands. Well, then
there is Mobridge: He might as
well cross the river. 10 see the
land he will have to do this any
how, and, moreover, Mobridge
will at the very best be unable
to care for a large number of
people, being but a small point,
poorly equipped in the matter Of
hotels and travellers accommod-
ations. Then he will see that
Lennon is within stones throw
to be exact, seven miles of the
reservation Of which he wants to
know more. He will fluid that
Lennon is quite a city, where
he will get if he requires it, such
accommodation as he needs.

any farmer and receive informa-
ton on which he can count. And
here he has an added advantage:
He is in coming to Lennon, at the
threshold of the homestead count
ry, where he can secure, should
he prefer it, instead of register
ing, quarter section of land as
good as the reservation land, un-

Lennon Made
Registration
Point!

BY Action of the Department of the Interior Lennon is
made one of the Five Places of Registration for a
Slice of the most Famous bit of Reservation Land

The state-line herald. (North Lemmon, Adams County, N.D.) 1907-1912, 1909-08-20

All the hopes and fears of Lem
mon were Tuesday last brought
to a sudden joyous finale when
the cheering news was passed
around that by departmental ac-
tion the city has been made one
of the five registration points for
the oncoming drawing Of lands
within the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne Indian reservation.
Thus destiny once again ham
mers with knockings loud and
strong at the gates of Lennon,
and again we are favored beyond
common fortune with a distinc-
ton that is to make cur city S
name sounded abroad by the mil
lions Of tongues, and that is to
make her the goal Of the am
biti0ns of thousands that shall in
scrioe their names on Uncle Sam S
rolls for quarter Of his choicest
remaining land.
The Importance Of this action
cannot be over estimated. Of
the several hundred thousand
people who will register, who
knows but what the greater halls
may decide to come hither-
there is just reason for believing
that we shall have as guests to
the city at least one-ffth of the
army of land seekers. And, if the
drawings of the past are any
where near a criterion-and why
not?-then Lennon may expect
to receive during the period of
registration from 80, 900 to 70, 600
visitors. or from 1,50O to 5000
daily. To care for these visitors
adequately, no matter how eX-
peditious may be the railroads
service, to give them the shelter,
food and other accommodation they
shall require, will demand care
full preparation and, on the part
of those in authority, far sighted
generalship. For every one of
the army of visitors will take
with him an influence that shall
work to the good or evil Of the
city we have learned to love, and
for the country which has been
Wrestod from a wilderness by our
sweat.
Five places, Aberdeen, Bis
Pierre, Mobridge and
Lennon have been selected as
registration points. None Of the
other four places can compare
with Lennon as to location, and
no doubt the department recog-
nized the immense value that
would accrue to the bona fde
land locker if given a chance to
come here, over against the
other points. Lennon lies with
in few miles west Of the west
Of the reservation, and
any part Of it can easiest be
reached from here. by those who
desire to learn something of
the value Of this royal domain to
the Individual.
Those who will register may
safely be divided into two classes,

In Defense of Critics.

1t is the business of the dramatist
and producer to provide plays that
the public is willing to pay none to
see. There is no difference of opinion
as to that. The business of the critic
is to inform the public whether or
not, in his judgment, it is worth while
to pay good money to find out if it
likes the play. The managerial and
playwriting intelligence doesn't sub
scribe to this definition of the critics
function at all. 1t is convinced that
the critic should write only favorable
reviews, closing his mind to all the
weaknesses and defects, bending his
efforts to persuading the public to
pay good money at the box office so
that it may judge for itself.
Probably the only critic thoroughly
satisfactory to theatrical interests
would be n who could be persuaded
to accept the views of the press de.
partment. There are such, | believe
certain newspapers being controlled
by considerations of dramatic adver
Using and of exclusive theatrical news
stories. But the Public That Pay,
feels this when it doesn't know it, and
the reviews thus directed have bu,
little weight.-Hartley Davis, IL

AN OLD TIMER

A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of using
Postum in place of coffee if one val

says:
"At the time Postum was first put
on the market l was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
or coffee. Finally decided to take
his advice and try Postum. / got a
package and had it carefully pre-
pared, finding it delicious to the taste.
So I continued it's use and very soon
its beneficial effects convinced me of
its value, for l got well of my nerv-
BUSINESS and dyspepsia.
my husband had been drinking
coffee all his life until it had affected
his nerve terribly, and persuaded
him to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change, for
the Postum is so delicious. 1t GER
tainly worked wonders for him.
We SOC learned that Postum
does not exhilarate or depress and
does not stimulate, but steadily and
honestly strengthens the nerves and
the stomach.
ITO make a long story short, our
entire family continued to use Pos
tum with satisfying results, as shown
in our fine condition of health, and
we have noticed a rather unexpected
improvement in brain and nerve pow

POULTRY YARD.
Why it is Best to Combine Fruit and
Chicken Raising.

Why it is Best to Combine Fruit and
Chicken Raising.
In trying to make the most posi-
BILE out of the poultry business, it Is
desirable to combine it with fruit
and to locate on land that will in
crease in value. A high priced pro-
duct like poultry and fruit will return
a big income from a small lot of land
and will enable the owner to pay taxes
without much feeling the expense,
and the market for the products will
be enough better in such locations to
warrant the extra cost.
The land should be planted to such
fruits as sour cherries, Japanese
plums, ounces and pears. Start with
some of the best poultry stock in the
country almost regardless of cost.
Pick out a breed that has good practi-
cal qualities and, if possible, a breed
that is not fully appreciated but for
which a market can be built up.
Most of the money in fancy poultry
has been made by the first breeders
who took up a breed and brought 1t
into the public notice.
Put up low cost buildings. Better
put the capital into stock and adver-
Using than into high cost buildings.
If the poultryman is somewhat of a
beginner and afraid to invest in high
class stock because doubtful of his
ability to handle it the first few sea-
som at a profit, the safer plan is to
buy a few hundred of the best eggs
that can be found and gradually learn
to breed and sell this stock. The
profit from a plan of this kind will
come first and mainly from the poul-
try. second from the fruit and third
from the possible rise in the value OF
the land. The plan has worked out
we'll for the right man with some
luck.
On the other hand, there is some
thing to be said for the man who To-

most as well from the back farms as

how. In fact, it is a well known trait
of human nature that the buyer pre-.
fers to send as far as possible foI
his stock. If he buys from his next
neighbor he will expect to get the
best birds on the place at almost
market poultry prices; but the sam
birds will be shipped half way across

then give satisfaction to the buyer.

Formaldebyde For Flies.

1t is not always possible to trace
the origin of illness, but it is easy
enough to give valid reasons why the
fly can be the Introductory agent.
Purely medical aspects apart, the fly
is not particularly s%crupulous as to
its ENVIRONMENTS alights at n
time on most offensive material and
at another it is on the food in tho
kitchen and at the table. One of the
earliest experiments we remember to
have seen showing the connection OF
flies and disease was that in which a
common bluebottle was allowed to
walk across a piece of freshly sliced
potato. The potato subsequently de-
veloped colonies of micro-organisms
all along the track taken by the fly,
while elsewhere no development took
place.
The important question remains
how best to get rid of the fly. Fly
papers and sticky strings are insight
ly, and the struggle of a fly to release
itself from a sticky substance is not
a n entertaining spectacle. In our
own experience the best exterminat-
ing agent is a weak solution OF weak
formaldehyde in water (say two tea
spoonfuls to the pint, and this ex,
perience has been confirmed by 9th
ers. 1t would appear that flies ara
attracted by a weak solution of for
m~aldehyde, which they drink. Some
die in the water, others get as fai
only as the immediate vicinity OF the
plate of water, but all ultimately sue
cumb; and where they occur in large
numbers hundreds may be swept up
from the floor. 1t is consollng tC
know that by this method the flies
have died under a dose OF a fluid
which is fatal to disease organisms, a
fluid also which is inoffensive n fo1
practical purposes non-poisonous

desirable, the disinfection OF the

Trouble and Gray Hair.

1.-THE popular belief that the hair
of persons laboring under great men
tai grief or terror changes color
seems to be unfounded," said DR.. S..
A. Fowler, of Chicago.
"Under certain conditions of bod
lily health" continued the physician,
"the coloring matter of the hair may
consequently become gray or white
in a very short time. In these cases,
however, it is only the growing hair
that has no color; the hair as it grad
ually rises from the root is gray,
while that which is outside the cuti-
Gle remains its original color. No
well authenticated case of sudden
change in the color of hair is men
toned in medical books of authority.
The Transactions of the Royal So
ciety' extend over a period of more
than 200 years, and if any such cir
cumstance had occurred it is almost
certain it would have been recorded.
