Timely Household Hints

Put the screens on the win
dows and doors before the flies
appear. The large blue flies
are now on the wing.
Allow nothing to stand about
which attracts flies. Avoid
throwing scraps of vegetables
or animal matter on the ground
near the house. Waste water
from the kitchen, thrown con-
tinuously in one place, renders
the dooryard unsightIy and un-
sanitary.
Don't forget to screen the
cellar windows. The cellar
needs daily airing; and, unless
the windows are screened, flies
and many other pests will
enter.
Air the cellar during the cool
hours of the day, and keep it
closed during the remaining
hours. This will keep the
cellar always fresh and cool,
and free from danpness.
White wash the ceiling and
walls of the cellar in the spring
and fall. This makes it light,
as we'll as clean and sweet. AL.
though lime is of low germicid
al value, a free use of it aids in
preventing bacterial growth.

BETTER LATE THAN never
Mentioned of the Production BY Home
Talent Omitted Last Week

Last week we wrote up the
production Of The Order of
The Yellow Robe by,a home
talent company and overlooked
hanging the copy on the hook.
We felt quite badly about the
oversi ght and told some of the
band boys and some of the
metnbers of the home talent
company 50. One of them
said: We'll, leaving it out
isn't half as bad as getting the
slams we got from the other
paper.' This sentiment has
our hearty endorsement but we
have a feeling that while it is
best never to be late it is bet
ter late than ncver' and for
this reason we want to say now
that the play given for the
benefit OF the BOttineau Milit-
airy band was a very creditable
production. The piece itself
was good a high class farce
comedy and those who took
part acquitted themselves with
much credit. In dealing with
the performance there is much
opportunity for boosting and
absolutely no excuse for knock

ARE CONSIDERING AN OFFER
Directors OF the Vancouver Develop
ment Company Met Here Last
Saturday.

The directors of the Van
couver Development company
held a meeting in the court
house here on Saturday of last
week to consider an offer made
for their holdings in the tim
Der region Of Vancouver Is
land. The sum offered is said
to be a large one and would
give the stockholders a big
profit on their investment but
with the rapid rise in the value
of standing timber there is
some question as to the advisa-
bility of selling at this time.

CHURCHES TO unite.
Big Meeting in Opera House Sunday
Evening TO Discuss tuberculosis.
MUoil ENTHUSIASM AWAKENED
Every Congregation in the City
will Take Part in Program
Being Arranged.

During the week plans have
been made for a big union
meeting Of the various con
gregalions in this city which is
to take place on Sunday even
ing at the opera house, the
program beginning at s O clock.
This will be tuberculosis day
in Bottineau and the problems
arising out of the prevalence
of the dreaded white plague'
will be discussed. The several
clergymen of the city will
speak; Dr. A. *. Mackny has
consented to discuss the ques-
ton from a medical viewpoint
and it is expected that several
laymen will be called upon for
short talks on the question.
One of the pleasing features
about this union meeting is
that all denominations in the
city have united, and it is real
ly a union meeting in the full
est sense of the term. Rev.
Raftshol Of thcLutheran church
had announced a regular Sun
day evening service but has
cancelled that and asks that all
his congregation be in attend
ance. Father Andricux is an
enthusiastic supporter of the
idea and urges all Catholics to
be present. The other denomi-
nations had made arran genents
last Sunday to attend the union
meeting.
The subject is one that every
citizen should be vitality inter
ested in and it is therefore eX-
peCted that the attendance will
be large. There is hardly any
one who has not had occasion
to mourn for the untin5cly
death of q friend or r.'Ativc
who has sucrumbed t. tulcr-
CulOsis. Medical experts tell
us that with proper care Il very
large percentage of those af-
feCted could get well and that
in thousands of cases serious
consequences could be prevent
ed by the dissemination of
knowledge on the subject. Let
us all do all we can to awaken
public interest in the subject.
Come out to the meeting and
take part in it's deliberations.

Interesting Contest In the Matter o.
the Will Of Arne caardsmoen.

There was an in teresting g
hearing in the matter of the
estate of Arne Gaardsmoen, de-
ceased, on Monday afternoon.
This estate is in the vicinity of
Willow City and the probating &
of the will is contested by one
of the heirs on the ground that
the will was made while the
testator was under the influence
of liquor. The conte s tant,
Martin Gaardsmoen, points to
the fact. that the property is left
to grandson and that the
widow and other members of
the family have not been pro-
vided for except that $500 was
left to the contestant. Weeks,
Murphy & Noun appeared for
the contestant and John G.
Scherer of Willow City for the
respondent. The attorneys
were given fifteen days to file
briefs. .
There was a hearing on Mon
day of the report on inventory
in the estate of Joseph Hamel,
late of Eckman and the inven-
tory was allowed.
On Wednesday a petition for
the probate of the will of the
late Thomas Cave of Westhope
was filed. G. S. Trimble Of
Westhope is named as executor
and Soule and Cooper of West

titioners.

help GOOD CAUSE
Wo mans Club Has Undertaken ID
Wipe Out Debt on the Cemetery
WILL GIVE SUPPER ON May 4
Hand the Project will be
Successful One.

There are a whole lot of in.
stances where we mere men
have to admit, with as much
grace as we can, that the wo-
men have it On us, to use. the
current expression, in ma tiers
of civic pride and in their way
of doing things. While any
given number of men. would
be holding a meeting, appoint
ing committees and arguing g
over the matter, the Same
number of women would con-
clude to do it and be on the
job. This has been the history
of cemetery improvement in
Bottineau. A n u m b er of
times the men have been in
terested enough in the subject
to hold a meeting, but the
grass grew long just the same,
the hedges were planted only
in imagination until the wo-
men got busy and said it had
to be done and it was done ac-
cordingly.
Last year the women Of the
club, together with other whom
they interested in the work of
beautifying the, cemetery, had
a grievous time but they ac-
cornplished what they set out
to do. Every foot of the ceme-
terry was raked and the dead
grass burned, hedges were
trimmed and new trees set out.
There were lame backs and
arms and blistered, aching g
hands, but there were also re-
suits. This year, however,
men were hired to do the work
and the women have responded
to the suggestion of Secretary
Weaver and will give of their
labor and of the good things
from their kitchens to settle
the bills. After this year the
assessment will take care of
the cemetery.
Plans for the supper were
made at the Tuesday night
meeting of the Woman,s club
and committee on arrange
ments, with Mrs. Andy Johns
ton as chairman, was chosen.
This committee will have the
appointment of the sub-com-
mittees and many ladies who
are not members of the club
will be asked for a helping
hand.
The supper will be given on
Thursday, May II from 5 to
1880 p. m. at Moore's restaur-
ant and a charge of 50 cents
per plate will be made. The
supper will be worth every
cent of the price charged but
while you are getting big
value for your money you will
at the same time be helping a
worthy cause. Don't fail to
help the ladies in their good
work.
