North Dakota Dry
Farming Association.
Second annual meeting to be held
at Dickinson, N. ID. Dec. rs.

This Association was organized
primarily to extend the know
ledge of farming methods in those
areas of the state where the con-
servation of moisture is matter
OF Importance. Where the rain
fall is around Is inches special
care must be taken to utilize the
moisture and it is the aim Of the
Dry Farming Congress to empha-
size this fact and to extend know
ledge concerning it.
The amount of our rainfall has
a profound influence upon our
methods of farming, and there
fore it is within the province of
this Association to treat practic-
ally all questions that have to do
with the farm. The idea has
been common that the term dry
farming is associated only with
grain production, but nothing
could be farther from the truth.
1t is the aim of those interested
in good farming to see every
farm in the state placed upon a
rational and profit paying basis.
In order that this may be done.
strict attention must be paid to
the conservation of moisture, at
least in the major portion of the
state. But this does not mean
that any one line of farming
should be followed, to the exclus-
ion of others.
1t is becoming generally real
lied that mixed farming is gen
orally to be the most successful
in this state This being the
case, particular attention must
be paid to live stock. In order
that we may get the best from
the live stock close attention
must be paid to the growing for
age and grains to feed them.
This leads Immediately to a con-
sideration Of corn, alfalfa and
grasses, and to other forage crops
as far as they are successful.
1t has been found that our soil
is we'll adapted to small grains,
and there is no reason why the
growing Of these should not form
an important feature. A success
full grain crop provides good
money.
Along with live stock and grain
farming the fruit patch and gar
den should be given attention.
We have a wealth here which is
not often considered. The tin
can farmer used to be an import.
ant feature in North Dakota, but
by this time he ought to be as
much of a fossil as the mammoth
in the Bad Lands. 1t is fear
ed. however, that such is not the
case. Gardening may be made
successful in North Dakota every
year, but few realize the wealth
of food a we'll kept garden pro-
duces. Prehaps some of the far
mer' wives have something yet
to learn how the garden products
may be best prepared for winter.
Modern methods allow the far
mer's family to have green veg
either fresh or "putup,"
the entlre year.
We do not realize what wealth
we have in the line of fruit, if the
right kinds be grown and the
right methods pursued. In the
early attempts to raise fruit IN
the state too little regard has
been paid to our rainfall and other
climatic conditions. We have en-
deavored to grow fruit unadapted
to the region. All of the items
mentioned above are dependent
and Immediately upon the
rainfall that we get. The Dry
Farming Congress to be held at
Dickinson will discuss these diff
ferent topics fully and adequate
ly as the time permits.

MINISTER SPOKE
ON CONSISTENCY
Used Life OF Daniel To Illustrate
Strong Lesson-Sermon Like
Play.

Houston, Tex, Feb. PA sermon
on consistency in Christianity was de-
nvered recently by Rev. John E.
Brown at st. Paul's Methodist Church.
Mr.. Brown cited the life of Daniel to
emphasize his points and his sermon
was one to make church-goers, as well
as those not identified with the church,
consider many important questions
that ordinarily might never assert
themselves.
While of a different principle, the
moral of Mr. Browns sermon was al
most identical with that in the late
Clyde Fitch's play, THE City, which
is the story of the vacillation of a
proud and respected family of Mid
Teton" following the death of the head
of the house, when, in qualification
of an ambition that had long been
entertained by every one except the
father, all moved to New York-the
city. In a new environment, uncon-
formed by local gossip and family ira
ditions, and thrown in with an atmos-
phere of temptation, all became, in
some degree, corrupt. The son be-

BLOODY fight
WAGED IN Home
Heroic Young Girl Probably Saved
Lives of Four Little
Children.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-In a struggle with
frenzied man, during which a girl
braved a magazine pistol and was beat
en- about the fac until she was all
but unconscious, she finally worsted
her opponent and by remarkable dis
play of courage probably saved the
lives of four children
The unequal fight occurred in the
parlor of the home of George Elch-
ner, on East Illinois street, and Miss
Emma Elchner, IS years old, was the
heroine.
1t began the instant Robert Braun,
who was nursing fancied wrongs
against Elchner, knocked at the door
early in the evening and asked to be
admitted.
mo, you had better come around
tomorrow said the girl.
Pm here now and I'm here to stay"
exclaimed Braun, pulling his magazine
pistol from his pocket and forcing his
way in.
Miss Elchner seized his arm and
struggled with him.
Braun leveled the pistol at the chill
dren, but the girl forced the muzzle
of the weapon towards the ceiling as
he fired.
He beat the girl until blood flowed
from half a dozen wounds, but she
stubbornly chung to him.
Finally the gun clogged and while
he was examining it Miss Elchner
leaped upon Braun, pushed him out OF
the front door and closed and locked
it.
Braun then shot Joseph Stumpf. a
tailor, and also shot off one of his own
fingers.

mother becomes a victim of the fash
ionable life of New York City. The
younger daughter, followed by a fam
lily reunion" when each deplores the

The same was the case with Daniel
in Babylon. He was taken from the

and life of luxury and high living,
but declined.
How many of you go to church or
Sunday school regularly, and then,
when on a visit to New York City,
outside your home environment and
among fatal strangers, live the same
Christian life that you do here in

stability of character. Many peope
who sit before me today live a con-
sistent Christian life because their en-
vironment eXacts it of them, and not
because, in their hearts, they would
/ live as they do. How many of you
would go to the theatre, even the Sun

those who know you would see you
there? How many of you do go to
these houses of pleasure when you

when you are in a strange city-when
you are in Babylon?
Sin always promises a reward, but
it is not the same kind of reward that
one gets from living in Christian life
The reward of sin is given right now,
it is but temporal, while the reward
of a Christian life is everlasting hap

holy ghost here on earth-the joy OF
right living. "Wheh David heard Of
