A wife will insist that the hus-
band shall not go out of the house
cold, raw days without two un-
dershirts, a liver pad and nuff-
ler on, in addition to his regular
clothes. Yet as soon as he is
safely down town she will rush
out of the hot kitchen bare head
ed and bare armed to hang out
clothes, so as to get ahead of the
woman next door; or, she will
tramp off down town, and from
house to house to work up some
society or church enterprise with
nothing ON her head but a little
saucepan of a hat, and shoes not
thicker than a newspaper. Isn't
this so?

MEMS LADIES AID"

From Kilwa Kisiwani, German East
Africa. BY Wireless from Zanzibar
Zamzimzum and Zigzag Zitraguptew,
important tidings. Contents not fully
made public as yet This much how
ever was heard through E'the hole in
the wall'' as the famous African Tribe
met in the dungeon of the M. E. Church
Monday evening with our Mems La
dies Aid to hold council over the pro-
gram for ''All Fools Day Feast to
which they purpose to call in all the
people of the surrounding tribes.
King Char Lesste Warts Hippy was
in command of the pow-wow, while the
Royal Scribe Ric Harda Sala Throp,
tattooed the Royal DEGREES upon the
back of one of the faithful slaves. So
interested did the king become that he
commanded that three of the Royal
Princes, namely Chah Melsec Rarls,
Hen iris Dayyel and Villa Nilla
Chile Snewvec, to take charge of this
feast and the Royal edict went forth
that the Princes heads depended upon
the successful completion of their task.
1t was further heard through the
''hole in the wall" that Zanzibar and
Zigzag were soon to set sail from
Africa for Hope on the steamship
Sherbrook.
And it is hoped that the railroad
strike will not delay their journey af-
ter reaching New York.

North Dakota Rocourses

The people of North Dakota seem
scarcely to realize what the enormous
deposits of Ignite mean to them. First
of all it means cheap power for thou
sand years. With cheap power all of
the wheat raised in the State will be
made into flour at home. The 1909
crop alone would make Is, 900, 600 bar
rels of flour. When this time arrives,
and come it will, the dockage problem
as now fixed by Minnesota will be a
thing of the past, the farmers will get
the full milling value of their wheat,
and have what few cleanings there may
be, for feed.
Not only will all of the wheat be
ground at home, but the 1900, 900 tons
of flax straw now burnt annually will
be made into linen goods and all of the
many by-products.
Professor III. Bachelor of Fargo
who has made an exhaustive study of
North Dakota Ignite is authority for
the statement, ''That this valuable fuel
will make this state the richest in the
Union" Bachelor is quoted as say
ing, "My Investigations of our Ignite
convince me that power can be pro-
duced more cheaply here than in any
part of the world, that it's gas making
properties give it value second to no
other coal, that gas can and will be
made and sold at figures that will
astonish the rest of the country. This
gas will be used in the manufacture of
clay products and glass and turn out
superior product, at a low cost.'
Professor William Blaine Snyder
who has charge of the Mining Expert
ment Sub Station at Hebron, is of the
opinion that power can be produced in
North Dakota cheaper than elsewhere,
he said, 81 am convinced as result
of my Investigations, that North Da-
kota will furnish the entire Northwest
with fuel. When our Ignite is properly
prepared at the mine, it makes a fuel
equal to the average COAL"
Senator McCumber stated, "The de-
velopement of our vast Ignite deposits
will make North Dakota the most i'm
portant manufacturing state in the
Union. 1t will free the state from the
domination of terminal markets in the
sale of grain, which means to the farm
ers an average of l0c bushel saving
in railroad freights and dockage''
Congressman Hanna stated, II re.
gard the development of our enormous
deposits OF Ignite as matter of great
Importance to all of our citizens. The
development of manufacturing will
give steady employment to all, it will
be the means of equalizing the labor
situation, The mills will close down
for a general overhauling, as is the
custom, during the harvesting season
this will furnish the farmer with har
vest hands right at home and will give
the mill hands a recreation in tht
shape of out of door work for few
Weeks.D

A man never realizes the super
