ROOSEVELT rs POPULAR BUT

Minneapolis Journal: The name Of
Theodore Roosevelt is no longer one to
conjure with in North Dakota, accord
ing to Sen. AISLE j. Gronna of Lakota,
who is in minneapolis today on his way
to Washington. He declares that the
people of North Dakota are committed
to Robert M. LaFollette and win give
him the state delegation regardless of
booms for Roosevelt or anyone else.
Roosevelt is popular in North Dako-
ta,'' said Senator Gronna. "but it is
too late now to swing the state away
from LaFollette, even for Roosevelt.
The sentiment in our state is for La
Follettes nomination and not even
Roosevelt could take it away.

WHY DO WE COUNT BY TENS?
Easily Seen How Much Easier and
Better 1t Would Be to Reckon by

Why do we count by tens and not
by twelves? It Is unfortunate that our

signs so that the first number OF two
figures would be the number we now
represent by "12." Twelve can be d.
vided by two, three, four and six, and
ten can be divided by only two and

and easier 1t would be to reckon sums
by dozens when you must divide the
numbers every once In awhile, and
you might think that the people that
invented numbers would have seen
this. But nobody did invent numbers.
Numbers were already invented be-
fore people knew that there could be
such a thing as counting.
Look at your hands, and you will
see why people count by tens Every
one counts on his fingers sometimes
and there was once time when not
every one could do even that. Some

that they cannot count above fve.

"DRY FARMING" is MISNoMER
According to Prof. Campbell Method
Should Be Called Scientific Farm
ing'-Practlce Is Old.

Dry farming, that Is farming in the
arid lands of the west where irriga.
ton Is not possible is being doomed
very hard these days.
Large companies have bought up
immense tracts Of this land at from
twenty-five cents to one dollar an
acre and strong efforts are being
made to induce the farmers from the
middle west to settle upon them.
When this movement was started a
few years ago It was known as the
Campbell system Of dry farming. Mr..
Campbell having succeeded in inter
esting some of the western railroads
In carrying on extensive experiments.
Now 1t is known as scientific farm
ing, and Mr. Campbell at the Dry
Farming convention In Montana last
year admitted that dry farming" is
a misnomer and 1t should be called
scientific farming.
The system consists simply In pre-
serving a dust mulch to keep the
moisture which comes from the win
ter rains in the ground during the
months when no rain fall occurs. This
system is as old as farming itself and
has been practiced In India and other
dry countries of the far east for ages.
Now, many new tools have been de
vised to aid In the cultivation of these
dry soils in this country and the very
best practice known to agriculture
has been applied.

GROWING WHEAT AFTER CORN
Plan Not as Good as Summer FaIlow-
Ing, According to Reports From
Experiment Stations.

There are those who contend that
just as good wheat can be grown
after corn as on a summer fallow.
This seasons experimental crops at
the Nebraska station and fields
throughout Colorado. Nebraska and
Kansas do not bear out this theory.
There is a good deal to be said
against the dry fallow. and 1t often
seems wasteful to do so much work
as 1t necessitates for one years crop
and pay the interest on two bodies OF
land instead of one. Very often the
| extra work is more expensive In APP
pearance than in reality. as the sum-
mer fallow extends the period OF
work for horses or steam over a long
| period and thus lessons actual cost.
All experiments show that about fifty
per cent. of moisture can be conserved
on good soils, which means 81 inches
Of moisture with a 14-inch rainfall.
Probably the longer farming is carried
on. due regard being had to the
preservation of humus, the greater the
conservation possible. as the subsoii
| is opened by the roots and cultivation.
An early maturing crop of peas
would be far more consistent with
what is known of dry farming ext
gencies than a crop like corn. whose
| deep roots search the lowest crevices
| of the subsoil for the last drop OF
moisture until late in the season, and
whose only advantage is the thorough
cultivation that such crop under
good farming methods insures. In the
state of Washington sometimes ~
successive crops of wheat have been
grown and then following resorted to
successful when the humus had be-
come too depleted for crop to be
grown more than every other year

MAKE YOUR OWN DOLL HOUSE
Directions for Making One That Any
Little Girl Can Put Under Her
Arm and Carry Away.

You have probably heard OF the man
who took up his bed and walked. but
here is bedroom that any girl can
carry under her arm without the least
difficulty. The best of 1t is that the
young housewife can make the whole
thing by a careful use Of glue and
part of some old book. This Is the
way to go about 1t:
Get your father to give you some old
volume with sound covers and strong
back. Then carefully cut the pages
out of the book and stiffen the back
with a piece of strong cardboard,
which must be glued into place. Then
cut two pieces of cardboard of equal
length for your end walls and cut an
other piece sufficiently long to make
the ceiling. These strips should be as
wide as the space formerly occupied
by the leaves Glue the three strips to
one of the book covers to correspond
with the end walls and ceiling of the
bedroom In the picture. This part
of the bedroom can be made stronger
by FASTING bracing pieces at the joints.
1t is simple matter to cut out a
window similar to the one In the pic
ture, and any bright girl can shape
the necessary bedroom furniture from
pretty colored cardboard. An Open
Window club button will complete the
furnishing after the window has beef
