Durum Dav

Durum day is coming, and it's
Importance to the state of North
Dakota cannot be over estimated.
Durum wheat is one of our. lead
ing products. A discrimination
against it in the markets means
a loss to our people running up
into the millions annually. If
durum flour u.s. what we claim it to
be-as good as any on the market
we are in duty bound to try it
for ourselves, and, if we like it,
help to make for it a market that
now seems to be lacking.
That is the purpose of Durum
Day-to get us acquainted with
our own wheat. milled. baked,
ready for the table. Through the
courtesy of Mr.. Bailey, baker at
the Agricultural College, we are
able to give some suggestions to
those who never have used this
flour. If you cannot get durum
flour here in town the following
mills, and perhaps others in the
state, have it: Cakes, Minor,
Lisbon.
Mr.. Bailey suggests to users of
durum -four that it is naturally
sweeter than the hard wheat fours,
and for that reason requires less
sugar than the housewife generally
uses. Plenty of water is needed
to mix tito the proper consistency,
and it will be found to be some
what stickier than the hard wheat
flour. 1t must be very thoroughly
mixed, and it should be allowed
to raise for longer period than
the hard wheat flour-possibly 8
matter of thirty minutes.
This flour will make excellent
breat, biscuits. mullins, dough
nuts, and pancakes. For pastry

A Valentine PARTY,

Friday evening, Feb. 18th, 1909, a
crowd of young people gathered at
Mayo, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
R. Bond, to Valentine party. The
hostess had provided many enjoyable
features of entertainment, among which
was Post office. At the ringing of a
bell the train was announced to have
arrived, and the guests each called for
mail at booth daintily decorated with
hearts. Valentines were waiting
for every one. After many games and
much merriment, slips bearing Lincoln
quotations were passed around and read
and the address at Gettysburg was read
IN very pleasing manner by Floyd
Bond, together making the program of
the evening in keeping with the Lin
colin Centenary. Small pictures of
Lincoln and his home were given as
souvenirs of the occasion. After deli
cious lunch, followed by songs, ending
with America, the guests departed
Several of the young people who were
there from Custer pronounce the party
decided success.

The most sensible suggestion we have
vet seen with respect to the investment
of the state school funds is that they
should be used to take up the floating
debt of the state, which bears max
imum of seven per cent. We are now
loaning the school money at five per
cent. and then the same people turn
about and borrow money from the
banks at seven per cent. Just now the
state is paying interest on floating
debt of nearly three-quarters OF
million, and at the same time, the
people are loaning money at about TWO
per cent year less than they are
borrowing it! And We call this good
business! Let the school funds be
applied towards buying the state war
rants, which are as good as South OAK
ota, and let the school fund be enriched
bp this amont which is now going no
one knows where. The bankers whe
are now getting the big interest VIII

the taxes should favor it.-Sioux Falls

The 3ugtown Meeting.

By courtesy of Ernest Bellemore, the
CHRONICLE reporter in company with
Mr.. B., Otto Munson manager of the
central Office in this city, and Frank
Thompson of the forest service, had the
pleasure of attending meeting held at
Bugtown for the purpose of considering
the construction of a telephone line
from Custer to Alkali Springs. The
proposed route to take in three forest
stations-which will be necessary to Sc
cure Government aid-.will be about 25
miles in length.
Jas. Henderson was chosen chairman
and Chas. Anderson secretary. There
was good attendance and much inter-
est manifested. Forester Thompson
thought the government upon request
would furnish poles (stumpage), wires,
insulators and brackets. The estimated
cost to construct is $37 per mile.
About 20 persons signed an agreement
to take stock at $40 per share. Manager
Munson said the line could accommo-
date 80 patrons, without overlooking.
A committee composed of I. w. Her
Der, NJ. ]. Kelley, Fred. Retsel, U. ]. Fox
and Jesse Elliott, with Frank Thompson
of the forest service, will view and select
the most practical route. The commit
tee will meet today at the forest Office
in this city to decide upon the route,
draft a petition to forward to the forest
and formulate a plan for
permanent organization.
The proposed route is from here to
Poe forest station, thence to Mr.. Fox's,
where, probably, connection will be
made with the Saginaw mine. From
Fox's to both Bellemore ranches, Bull
Spring, Alkali Springs and James Ell
liott's; including all settlers along the
route. Stub lines may be run out a
short distance from the main route.
This will be valuable line to the for
est service as we'll as the settlers. It's
will not be very great after
the line is once established.
