North Dakota, especially the eas
and south part of the state, was struck
by a good rain today. The Red river
valley had the benefit Of the rair
storm and all along the line the re.
ports received were most favorable.
At Bismarck early this morning a
good rain fell and the farmers in the
vicinity Of the capital city were more
than pleased with their share of the
downpour. The storm advanced east
ward and early today jamestown re-
ceived a storm that was much appre-
ciated.
The Red river valley came in for its
share and this afternoon Grand Forks
reported rain as well as Crookston.
Farther south in the vicinity of Wah-
peton reports received were very fav-
orable and the farmers south Of Fargo
are in jubilant spirits because of the
showers that they have received.
Reports were received from Churchs
Ferry and Darlington, but no rain had
fallen in the neighborhood Of those
places. Farther east in the vicinity of
Detroit no rain was reported.
Cass county was hit by the rain
shortly after noon. At Mapleton sew
eral farmers reported that the shower
was coming down hard and the ground
was getting good soaking. Harwood
also reported rain and the farms
around close to Fargo received a light
but steady shower this afternoon.
The shower at this time will be
most effective and the farmers that
have been benefited by the rain today
are well pleased with it's coming. The
dry weather OF last week dried up the
top OF the ground although there was
some moisture farther down, and the
rain today viii put new and brighter
aspect on the crop outlook since the
recent hot spell.
Fargo Got SO Of Inch.
This afternoon at 2:3O o'clock, OBJ
server Grasse Of the weather bureau
station at Moorhead reported to The
Forum that the amount OF rain that
had fallen this afternoon had reached
3s Of an inch. The figures were most
surprising for the reason that the rain
had not been heavy and it was not
estimated that such large amount
had fallen.

follow the binder with our wagcls,
pick up the corn and STACK it. This
| work comes in very handy during
| harvest or stacking, as it can be done
in wet weather, when we cannot ham
die the grain. The whole secret is in
getting the stack as alright around
the outside as possible. The better
the outside is packed, the less corn
will spoil. There is some waste
around the outside, but we figure that
it costs less to stack it than to fill
silo. We believe the corn, when prop
erly stacked, will cure as well as in
silo.
Now I am not against the silo. I
believe the silo is the proper thing on
any stock farm; but lot Of the small.
er farmers cannot afford one, as
they do not raise enough corn, and
for them the stacking of the corn
while green, out of doors, l consider
the proper thing. We have a stack
this year, 32x50 feet, which was about
twelve feet high when it was finished.
It was quite well settled at that time,
as it was built during wet weather,
on days when we could not handle
our grain. 1t contains about 200
loads, raised on twenty-five acres. We
cover it with green hay, fax straw,
old straw, or anything which we con-
slider of no value, as this will spoil
on the top of the stack. We also pile
on lot of stuff we may have handy,
such as logs, poles, rocks or anything
heavy, to weight it down.
Feeding From the Stack.
This method of curing corn is quite
general here this year, and is becom-
ing more popular every year. The
stack keeps warm all winter We feed
from the top, tier for tier, as it was
put in Any farmer who has twenty.
five loads or more of corn will do we'll
in stacking it green, if he has no silo.
1t will afford him green fodder for his
stock during the winter months, in
place of dry, hard fodder, which he
must go out into the field and dig out
of the snow We stack ours near the
barn door, where it is handy to get at.
Flax twine should be used in bind
ing corn to be stacked in this manner,
as it will not rot like other tWine, but
will hold the bundles together, to be
taken out as they were put in.

"ABIDE WITH ME-"
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Abide with me. Fast falls the eventide.
| The darkness deepens Lord, with me

| When other helpers fail and comforts flee.
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with mel
On the white operating table of a
Chicago hospital a girl was dying.
Clara Butler, soprano of a suburban
church, by accident had been thrown
under the wheels of train and was
hurried to the hospital in hope of saw
ing her life by an operation.
| In vain!
Knowing that death was fast clos
ing down on her life, she whispered a
message to her friends, who were in
an adjoining room, and said, with
smile, Tell them l am not afraid to
die"
Then she began to sing.
Pure and clear at first rang the
tones of the old hymn Of faith and
trust The glorious voice that had
often waited the souls of devout wor-
shippers foated through the operating
room:
The darkness deepens. Lord, with me
abide.

were wet. The singers soul, winged
for its fight, was in the voice. Soon
it faltered. and as the darkness deep
ened and the waters closed over her
1t died away in the whisper:
Help Of the helpless, oh, abide with me!
The singer was dead. She had sung
her own requiem. ..-.-
You do not believe as the girl be-
]ieved? What would you give if you
could do so?
Superstition? Self deception?

title speech. 1t is pragmatic. Some.
thing, from somewhere, sttt1ed the
awful agony.
Disbeliever, agnostic or what not,

glorious strength as the life ebbed
from her manged body? Surely. :"
You would no more take away that

Here Are the Calls That Everybody
Must Make.


In a practical talk on every day ETH
quette in the November Woman's Home
Companion the author records the calls
that one must make:
Certain stated calls must be made
The call at least once a year upon those
on your calling list; the call after hav-
ing been entertained at dinner, or lunch
con, or at an evening entertainment
the call or congatulation after a mar
riage, or birth; the call of condo
lence upon those in sorrow; the call
of inquiry at the house of illness; the
call upon the newcomer into your neigh
borhood, or upon stranger who has
been introduced to you by friend; the
return call, when a first call has been
made upon you, of these can be
eyaded. A first call should be returned
within week, or at longest fort
night; dinner call. or, in fact, any
others OF those named, should be paid
promptly.
IF two women call together, it is the
older Of the two who makes the signal
for departure by rising or giving a sig
nificant glance to her companion
There is no need for great formal
ity of conduct in calling The well bred
woman who is at case in her own house
need have no fear Of appearing awk-
ward in the house of another. To come
in quietly after leaving her card at the
door; to speak, first Of all, to her host
ess, then to recognize the other persons
present; to chat with those nearest the
seat she has taken, avoiding topics
which might lead to argument or dis
cussion; to take her cup of tea and
bit of cake or sandwich; to leave at
the end Of twenty minutes, or half an
hour after shaking hands with her host
ess, and bowling farewell to the others
present, here is all that constitutes a
call. A little familiarity robs calling
of any terrors it may possess for the
bashful, or for those unaccustomed to
society; and one learns it is just the
old time afternoon visit with new
name.n

Dolls and Artificial Flowers Which
Change Color

The principal uses of cobalt in the
United States are in making glass and
pottery. A beautiful blue IS given to
glass by the oxide of cobalt Sympa.
thetic inks, according to a report OF the
United States geological survey, are
made from cobal acetate, chloride, and
nitrate that are colored when heated
or eolorless when cold This interest.
ing phenomenon is due to the change
in color of the salts ON the absorption
OF water. When dry they are blue and
easily seen on papers when damp they
are pink; and when dilute, colorless
A puzzling application Of this principle
may be in a doll whose dress is blue
in dry weather but changes TO pink when
subjected to dampness, as in wet wealth
er or when the doll is held in the steam
of tea kettle Artificial flowers are
made to show the same effect.
