THE hatpin worn by the Partisan
woman is a thing OF very real
beauty. In fact, SO splendid is 1t at
times that 1t makes in itself a sufh-
cient trimming for a hat or toQue.
Some of the newest and most effective
pins of this order are Of carved ivory
inset with silver and with precious
stones. These pins are large and i'm
portant looking and are lovely In con-
junction with ivory white felt and
black velvet or MORE hats.

Just what may happen to man who

handed the conductor a dollar and
asked for a strip Of tickets. He Ne

conductor fumbled around for change
and managed to make q mistake"
He handed the man two half dollars
instead Of Is cents. The man put
away tho money without saying q
word and In q couple Of minutes WORT

No Time For Retreat.

In an Irish garrison town a theatrical
company was giving performances, and
some soldiers from the local barracks
were engaged to act as supers. Their
duties included the waging Of a fierce
fight in which, after stirring strug-
gle, one army was defeated on a given
signal from the prOmpter. For a few
nights all went well, but on the Friday
evening special performance Of the
piece was to be given under the patron
age Of the colonel and other officers
of the garrison. The two armies met
as usual at the end Of the second act,
when they fought and fought and kept
on fighting, regardless of the agonized
glare in the eye of their acton gen.
eral, who hoarsely ordered the proper
army to Retreat, confound you" But
the fight still went on, and soon the
mortified manager saw the wrong army
being driven slowly of the stage, still
fighting desperately. Down came the
curtain amid roars of laughter, and
the tuning manager FASTENED to ask
the delinquents why they had failed to
retreat on bearing the signal. a;
"Ketraite," roared a burly fusileer
whose visage had been badly battered,
'and is it retraite yed have us, wild

The report of the first years ex-
pertinent at the sub-experiment sta
ton at Williston has been published
by the state agricultural college. The
principal interest attaches to the ex-
pertinent with irrigated land, but
these were unsatisfactory, owing to
the fact that circumstances prevented
flooding at the proper time. Enough
was demonstrated, however, to prove
the value of tae irrigation project.
The report says in part:
1t was not intended that more land
should be irrigated this year than
could be thoroughly prepared. But
on June 80, the resident director ad-
vised that all the land should be irri-
gated as far as possible means could
be provided. The land not leveled
was very rough. Old dead furows
and back burrows were numerous
from previous years blowing, small
sloughs and natural ridges through
the land were plentiful. Irrigating
such land satisfactorily or giving it
a complete watering was impossible.
The spots that could not be watered
ripened nearly two weeks earlier
than that irrigated. Shoots sucked
out from the main stem after irri-
cation and were entirely green when
the balance of the grain was ready
to harvest. On account of trying to
irrigate all the grain, no comparisons
could be made with irrigated and
non-irrigated fields. The matter Of
absolute data for comparison con-
stitutes one of the most essential
elements of an experiment station.
Due to general mishaps in supplying
water, it took from July 3, to July
%, inclusive, at intervals, to irrigate
once, as much of the fifty-six acres as
could be irrigated.
A three-acre tract of wheat was

The Missouri river line going nearly

state line, beyond Fort Yates, eight
miles, is seventy-two miles in length.
The townsites are Riverside, Gwyther,
Wells and Fort Yates, where side
tracks are provided for in the con-

Wil1iston Irrigation Not Success
HASTE IN GETTING WATER
ON THE LAND DISASTROUS

leveled and small laterals plowed
through the field about every fifty
feet to carry the water for flooding
the land. July 3, about one-half an
acre was flooded thoroughly NO
more water was furnished until July
9, when the balance of the field was
watered. The portion flooded July
3 was again watered. When the
wheat was irrigated at first, it show
ed signs of the drouth, but that por-
ton watered soon recuperated. BY
July 9, when the balance of the field
was flooded, the wheat was badly
damaged and even though thorough
ly watered, it never fully recovered.
Photographs taken when the fields
were harvested show the difference
clearly See plates w and V. Both
strips of wheat were sown on the
same day and on the same kind of
ground Another small strip of the
same field that could. not be irrigat-
ed, for an unavoidabl treason, was
practically worthless when harvest
ed, as it was completely sun-scorch-
ed. This, then, is comparison OF
applying water at the proper time,
applying it too late, and not applying
it at all. 1t was impossible to seper-
ate them accurately on account of
irregularity, so the whole field was
harvested and .threshed together. 1t
yielded IT'S bushels per acre.
One-half acre of potatoes that was
irrigated thoroughly twice, yielded 80
bushels per acre. Another half acre
of potatoes, planted the same day
with similar seed and on the same
kind Of ground, but not irrigated,
only yielded 54.4 bushels per acre.
Two and one-half acres of another
variety of potatoes, irrigated twice,
yielded 1854 bushels per acre. All
the yields were low, but the contrast
between the yield of the irrigated
and non-irrigated is evidence of what
irrigation can accomplish.

REAL IMPROVEMENT
OF THE MISSOURI.

Golfers Weekly: Forty years ago
six or eight steamboats, came into
Kansas City every day, from Cincin-
natl, st. Louis, Omaha, Fort Benton.
Finally this tramc on the Missouri
river died. The steamers failed to
keep pace with the railways. To
understand why, it is requisite only
to glance at the steamboat used on
the inland rivers now. Apparently
there is little difference between the
boat of 1909 and the one of 1863
same three-story white frame house,
same old type of engine and boilers
up to the crowned smokestack, with
the gold trotting boss or spread
eagle suspended between them. Nor
have their methods of freight-hand-
ling changed-the same irresponsible
negro roustabouts, toting freight
across shaky plank to an unprotect-
ed levee. The trucks to haul it to
the warehouses, also, are the same.
Think what state the railways would
be in were they using the equipment
and methods Of forty years ago!
Kansas City has recalled the fact that
it has big, idle river waiting to be
put to work. A company has been
formed to install light-draft freight
boats, VITA nothing above deck ex-
cept pilot-house and quarters for
crew: compound engines, forced
draft; modern loading and unload
ing devices; warehouses with freight
handling machinery; 1909 equipment
and 1909 methods; the system used
in Germany's shallow streams, to be
Missouri. This company does not
plan to buy a million dollars worth
Of boats and terminals and do all
the river business for Kansas City.
It intends to prove that with modern
equipment river navigation Is pro-
htable to a company with six boats,
or to an individual with. one boat.
It proposes to make the Missouri
river a traffic highway. 1t is not
''hurrah" movement The men be-
hind it are moving as carefully as If
it were the sole affair of each of
them. They are not looking to the
federal government to do a few mil
lion dollars worth of preliminary
work. They have set out to show
the southwest that it has water
to make the proof by their own
strength, their own money, and their
own understanding.

FREE ENVELOPES.

OF the practice of the government
post Office department to supply en-
velopes nearly free of cost, the Penn

The common people are not extern
sive correspondents. Very few of
these have any use whatever for the
stamped envelopes Of the govern
ment. First they prefer to use other
sorts of stationery such as they buy
in the stores or the print-shops. Sec
ond, they do not care to buy in the
large quantities necessary to get any
advantage in the price. They must
buy at least 500 envelopes to get tho
free return address printed thereon
free. Then they will have to wait a
considerable time for these to be
transmitted through the mails in re-
turn for the order given. If they buy
in small quantities there is no saving
at all, or it is so small that it cuts
no figure.
We will guarantee that of the sew

Of stamped envelopes which are

the great city stores and catalogue

the common people. Somebody will
now arise to remark: 80, you want
to sell and prfnt envelopes yourself
That is very true. That is part Of
Our legitimate business. Why should
we not want to sell envelopes and
print them? however, the printer
