An Earth Tide,

At the Potsdam observatory, Mr.. o.
Hecker, after several years study
with horizontal and vertical pendu-
lums, announces the existence of peri
odic movements in the mass of the
earth, originating like the ocean tides
in the differential attractions of the
sun and moon. and following similar
laws. The average change of level
produced is said to be about eight
inches. 1t is not certain that this can
have any perceptible effect on the
occurrence of earthquake phenomena.

WATERING Plants,

Wrong Watering-All plants like to
have their leaves sprinkled, but to
sprinkle the soil about them as a
means of giving the roots a drink
does very little good, and a thorough
soaking once week is infinitely bet.

flowers or vines are planted near a
house they are in especial danger of
suffering from lack of water and
should have much more than in other
situations. Among the plants which

How Persimmon Got His Name.


Persimmon, the famous derby win
ner. whose skeleton has just been pre-
sented by King Edward to the Natural
History museum, South Kensington,
possesses name which puzzled many
learned turfmen. 1t was adopted by
King Edward from "de ole 'simmon
tree" of niger minstrelsy. The name
has lately become more familiar from
the date plums which are now occa-
sionally seen for sale in the fruiterers'
shops. The date plums of the per-
simmon seem too astringent to suit
British palates, but they should be
appreciated by people who like med
lars when mellewed by frost By the
negroes of the southern states these
simmons" are highly prized.-Dundee
Advertiser.

Mark each patch of quack grass :,
work around it to avoid scattering
the roots with the harrow or other
machines. If the patch is not too
large, smother the quack with tar
paper, held in place with dirt, for
several weeks. This method of Grad
ication has found favor at the Min
nesota and other state experiment
stations.

Small patches of quack grass have

BREAD SHOULD BE WRAPPED.

The Independent has noticed
number of things concerning the way
the bread from one of our bakeries
is handled thai ought to be remedial
We believe that the bread is whole
some and clean when it leaves tho
bakery, but Our attention has been
called TO the fact that a certain driver
OF a bread wagon has been careless
in handling the loaves Of breaA. It
is said than tho driver mas been
known to handle the horses and the
harness with his hands, and then
without washing, carried the bread
into some Of the stores. II this Is
the case, it looks as it would not do
any harm for the city commissioners
to pass an ordinance comnelling all
bakeries TO wrap their bread They
might have to ask cent more
for the loaf, but who would
care about such a trivial matter II
they were insured getting perfectly
clean bread. In the summer time.
we've seen flies roosting on the breed
at several Of the places where it has
been kept for sale, and THIS we know
is not healthful. Wrapping the
bread would do away with this dan
ger also.

What They are Saying,
Thinking and Doing

: Peter vandenoever, Police Commits
sioner: Il am not chronic kicker,
but I can tell you number of things
that are the matter with Minot, which
if remedied would make this better
town. In the first place, want to say
that believe in restricted districts
in city the size of Minot. Two
years ago, we had such district and
the inhabitants molested no one. TO.
day we nave those same inhabitants
with us, only they mingle In our
society, whether we want them to or
not am in a position to know, for
in my present position, l have been
able to detect many things. We have
done our best to rid the city of these
friend1ess women. Drive one of them
out and three will come in to take
ner place. Where are they to De
found? Don't you know that they are
living in rooms all over the city?
might mention dozen places, right In
the heart of the city, but it would
pretend to hold various positions, as
a blind. tell you, you may be dead
do no good. You can't always get
proof against them Many of then,
sure that they are wrong, but prove
It. That's another matter. Before
they were fined. The city received a
certain revenue, and there was money
to pay our policemen. What have we
to-day? In my fund we have no
money, and will have none for months
to come We must borrow from the
oti1er funds Now understand me, l.
am not favoring these women at all,
for no man would like to see them
lead virtuous lives, more than I, but
we have had them in Minot long be-
fore came here, and we will have
them her long after you and I are
gone.
Another thing that is hurting Minot,
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1910-12-01

and that is the way in which the NUM-
cipal water plant Is being conducted.
Don't you know that there are only
1876 taps, and the people who use this
water made a profit of fifty per cent
for the city of Minot in the month of
July? 1t is all right to kick about
the electric light plant, and the IS
per cent that it is making, but let
Minot scrub its own back porch be-
fore complaining about high light
rates II we should charge q less
rate for water and use the people
more fairly, we would be supplying
many more people than We now do, At
a less rate, and we would be making
just as much money. There Is no
good reason why a man owning sew
eral houses adjoining should be requir-
ed to make separate connections with
the main. The big hotels don't do it.
The apartment houses do not have to-
They get not only that benefit. but
on account of being large users Of
water, get a 20 cent rate while the
common users have to pay IS cents.
The Great Northern has to pay but
10 cents. Think of it!
Another thing. Our taxes are too
high. Our assessed valuation is too
high. A year ago our assessed valua-
ton was one and half million dol
lars, but this year it was boosted to
two and a quarter million dollars, be-
cause the city saw that this was the
only way in which the taxes could be
raised still higher. There are ZIG
empty houses in Minot today. There
will be more empty houses If we do
not lower the taxes soon"

of cattle this year, but still have 8

A. -. Stoesmeister: II don't know
whether the people Of Minot appre-
ciate the fact or not, but between now
and the time the Minot College Of
Commerce closes, next June, through
the agency of the pupils, there will
have poured into this city more than
$4,000. Most of this is foreign
money, spent by pupils from other
towns, who would be spending that
money in Grand Forks or Fargo, had
not drawn them to Minot. The en-
rollment is growing and will soon
reach the 200 mark"

Cheap rates to Washington on ac-
count Of the National Rovers and Har-

nlent of the meritorious inland water
ways and flarbors, the preservation of
the forests of the Nation, and the con-
