and Prof. H. F. Bolley OF the North
Dakota station have been busy pre-
pairing directions. 1t is regarded as
imperative that the farmers should
take greater precautions this year
with seed selections and with regard
to soil cultivation and general good
farming, that there may be no repe-
tition of last years disappointing out
turn that was the result in many local
tiles.
Forty gallons of water to one pound
of formaldehyde is the formula that
should be used for spraying, the agri-
cultural experts say, and this quantity
will spray eighty bushels of seed. 1t
has been determined that fax does
not rob the soil Of as much mineral
matter or moisture as wheat, oats.
corn or barley and that it can be
successfully grown on old land when
crops are properly rotated.
Farmers are being warned that,any
sed that tests less than 81 per cent
in terminating qualities should not go
into the ground. The scientific men Of
the agricultural colleges say that fax
can and ought to be made perfan-
ent crop in the Northwest, the same
as it has been for SO many years in
India and Russia, and in the proper
rotation of crops it should have
fixed and permanent place.

spiritual. The occupations are devised
and systematiZed in accordance Win
| a profound law of development. Every
| gift. every little song and game has
not only an abiding charm, but an
abiding lesson for the little tots who
are unconscious of the fact that they
! are learning lessons, but look upon II
all as one round of pleasure.
We observe in the gifts, as they are
called, the blocks in the shapes OF the
cube, the cylinder, the sphere, the
cone and many other geometrlcally
exact forms. We observe the tables
marked off in squares, the beads. the
straws and the weaving paper In all
the colors. We see the little fingers
joyfully playing with all these things,
yet in their play directed to use their
fingers with precision, to observe the
different forms and colors, and to
have an artistic thought in combining
them. We see them taught to practice
exactness and precision in placing
their playthings.
AS we watch the little hands guided
into dizziness, we see true cure for
that clumsiness which so often be-
comes annoying destructiveness in
children. From the very start they
are taught to love order and neatness,
to respect beauty and delicacy OF
structure. They are taught to handle
delicate things carefully and to de-
spise untidiness. While the little nm
gers are pliable and delicate they can
acquire a dexterity that will tell on
all future work.
The wise discretion of the activity
o. children is one of FrOebel's funda-
mental principles. We have all seen
children whose activity made them a
torment to a whole household. Six
months of kindergarten training can
change this restlessness into source
of constant enjoyment for the child.
When their activity is directed to
some definite result, it produces con-
tentment in the mind and heart of the
child just as it does in mature man
or woman.
To see the work that has been ac-
complished in kindergarten In paper
folding, FASTING, weaving, sewing, etc.,
Is to be convinced that II this train
ing were universal, it would remove
from our homes that awkwardness and
destructiveness in children which is a
constant source of terror to many par
ents.
We used to think that the boys es-
pecially had to 60 through an awk.
ward age, when they don't know how
to manage their hands and feet, and
can hardly pass through room with
out falling over a piece of furniture,
and never fail to upset something on
the dining table just after it has been
dressed with fresh linen.
l believe that course of kindergar-
ten training would relieve most boys
from the necessity of passing through

get around to it in time and see tnat
every farmer who applies gets
chance to procure seed. Ward county
will also furnish feed for horses in To-
calities where feed is scarce and the
keep of horses expensive. THERE'S

ty, Mr.. Christensen reports, and If 1t
can be properly distributed, he looks
he says, for a bigger fax acreage this
year. The farmers look upon it as the
most profitable crop to raise, he says,
and this year, with the price so high,
it looks better to them than ever.
$4,000 Available.
Fifty thousand dollars is ready, or
will soon be available, in Mclean
county. The county commissioners
decided that the bond issue be Of am
pie proportions that no farmer might
want for wheat or flaxseed. The
Northwestern State Bank of Coal Har-
Dor reports that every farmer will get
seed.
Towner county will furnish the
farmers with about $4,000 worth of
seed and feed for stock, and every
farmer in that county who gets busy
and makes his situation known, and
bestirs himself, can get supply.
Harry Lord, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Cando said that the
banks have prepared themselves to
take care Of finacing of the plan. No
bonds will be issued by Bottineau
county to buy seed for the farmers.
The, county board arrived at this de-
cision in session at Bottineau yester-
day. Only few applications were
made for seed and several bids were
received for the bonds. but satisfac-
tory arrangements were made,
through bankers, to take care Of all
those needing seed grain without
bonding.
Stutsman county presents about the
most urgent need of attention Of any
part Of North Dakota and H. F.
Graves, president of the James River
National bank of jamestown, says that
to this time the county has not bestir-
red itself very much. The banks have
come to the relief Of the situation and
have taken care Of every one where
they could. There are some farmers
without banking connections who are
finding it hard to obtain seed or feed.
Flaxseed is scarce, and while the ele-
vators are doing what they can to help
out, Mr.. Graves is inclined to think
that in part of North Dakota the fax
acreage this year will be cut con-
siderably.

Duluth and Minneapolis and only $780,
| 900 bushels come forward to markets
in Canada, a f1axseed famine is I'M
minent. The worlds crop for COM
mercial purposes is 100000 bushels,
! according to the Herald's estimate,
which is about 100000 bushels un-
der the greatest amount of seed con-
sumed by the world in any year. 1t
it 35,O0OO0O bushels under a normal
production.
Manufacturers Of linseed oil in the
United States carried their campaign
into Canada last week and by the lat
! ter part OF next week the provinces
of western Canada will be flooded with
$4,000 letters, hundreds of banners
will be hung, and newspaper articles
will be printed by every newspaper IN
an effort to secure large crop of hax'
seed this year.,
E. H. Smith of the American Lin
seed company returned today from
Winnipeg, where Sc started the ball
rolling in that country. Hundreds OF
farmers in both the United States and
Canada are writing to him to inquire
concerning the 10000 bushels of first
class flaxseed which crushers have
gathered for distribution to farmers at
cost as low as is consistent with
business principles. The banks of the
northwest are falling into line and
many have promised to aid farmers
financially so that they can procure
pure seed.
After two successive crop failures In
this country and one in Canada. it is
imperative that the crop this year
shall be at least equal to normal
yield. Realizing that this crop, which
is one of the most valuable in the
northwest, must not be failure this
year, counties, railroads, bankers,
merchants and linseed oil men are CO.
operating to secure pure seed for the
farmers. E. H. Smith Of Duluth is
directing the campaign and inquiries
for pure seed should be directed to
him.

Much New Breaking.
In Morton county and in the terri
tory opened up by the Mott line of the
Northern Pacific and the Mclaughlin

there are many new settlers and the
need Of flaxseed is general. This is
a part of North Dakota that will have
much new breaking and may be looked
for to produce a big flax crop, to the
prosperity of the communities, if seed
can be procured. In consequence, the
First National bank of Mandan, with
eight branches in western North Da-
kota, is taking care of the farmers as
far as able and the other Mandan and
Bismarck banks are helping. Farmers
who have seed objected to PROPOSE

Influence OF THE
KINDERGARTEN and
IT'S USEFULNESS

The following paper was read oy
Mrs. Dahl at the public meeting OF
the Mothers Club, at which meeting
the subject of Kindergartens was un'
der discussion. There is a move on
foot to establish such a school in the
city.
Mrs. Dahrs address was as follows:
Madam President, Ladies and Gen.
tlemen: When asked by the commit
tee from the Mothers club to speak
this evening on the merits of kinder
garten training for children, ! at first
felt that it would be entirely outside
of my province to do so, for my own
childhood antedated the kindergarten,
and those who are pre-eminent among
the advocates of this system have
told US that it's principles and methods
can not be understood without deep
and systematic study.
Doubtless nothing can be truer than
that the philosophy of Froebel's sys-
TEN can not be mastered by the stu
dent in a week or month, yet l be-
iieve that many of its most practical
and beautiful developments can be

when l was engaged in teaching.
shall only attempt to speak of some
of the impressions left on my mind by
these observations.
l think the first thing that strikes
one who enters we'll conducted kin
dergarten is the evident happiness Of
the children. Happiness is the birth
right of every little child, and no one
with heart susceptible to the finer
and higher feelings can see little
child unhappy without suffering pain
full emotion.
When one looks into a kindergarten
and sees score or more of little ones
seated around the work tables, or CO.
ing through their games, surrounded
by an atmosphere of love and guard
ed by intelligent care, the expression
of contentment and happiness on ev-
cry countenance would convince you
that you had peeped into children's
heaven. 1t has been the experience of
many kindergarten teachers to have
some child ask If Heaven is any nicer
than the kindergarten"

MR. TAFT PRESENTS
 MEDALS ID SAILORS

Washington, June 13.-President Taft as commander in chief of the navy, to- day presented six enlisted men of the navy with medals of honor. The Pres ident spoke in praise of their heroic deeds when on September 8, 1910, an oil fuel explosion on the North Dak ota killed three men. put in jeopardy the
 lives of scores of others and placed the battleship itself in danger. The men Waded in water up to their waists. in dense smoke, heat and fumes of burn ing oil and gas and steam, to rescue their comrades and to prevent further explosions. In addition to the medals of honor, a gratuity of $100 was given to each man.
 Thomas Stanton and Karl Westa, chief machinists' mates; Patrick Reid and Au- gust Holtz, chief water tenders; Charles c. Roberts, machinists mate of the first class and Harry Lipscomb, water tender. made up the honored half dozen.
 Tt is a great pleasure for me. men," said President Taft; in presenting the medals, Ito be the instrument of con- veying to you the gratitude of the na- ton for what you have done. What you did was bravery equal to anything in battle, under circumstances in which you were facing death close at hand and it sends thrill down my back to feel that you are Americans and that you acted with the spirit of the American sailor, as we like to think of him, in saving the lives of your fellow men, and that you have brought credit on the pro- fession which you are following and have furnished an example in the service that I am sure will not be lost. God bless you. I hope you will all live long and useful lives, and that this work which you have done in offering your lives up will be a, source of happiness to you and of pride to all that come after you"
