Our Lord wrote the best text books. in

crop. Learn how to handle the soil and
get good crops every year.

gentleman is an officer in the National
Dry Farming Congress.
The first North Dakota Dry Farming
Congress, held in Dickinson on January
81 and February l., is now history. 1t
was probably the most successful under
taking of the kind ever held in the
northwest In fact. those who attended
the National Dry Farming Congress at
Spokane last fall, say unhesitatingly
that the average daily attendance for
the first state meeting here this week
was better than at the last national
meeting.
The attendance at the armory on
opening morning was around 500 and in
the afternoon the attendance was be-
tween 900 and 700. Again on Wednes.
day the numbers were something like
500 both morning. and afternoon, and
this in the face Of the fact that s to s
inches of snow had fallen the evening
before and the weather changed from
mild to cold. There was an army of
state and national speakers never before
gathered in North Dakota at any city
west OF Fargo. and every minute of the
two days session was crowded with
good and instructive speaking.
Supt. L. r. Waldron called the meet
ing to order for this auspicious gather

the platform to deliver the address of
welcome.

Unfamiliarity with money gives chill

CHAPTER xvII.

They fired no slot at us, and the
morning passed In patient waiting.
Great as hopes were-my own too
great for any expression--the Diamond
Ship had no further message for us,
nor did the sea speak. Void from
horizon to horizon, the Southern ocean
fretted to sleep beneath a torrid sun,
and left us with that sense Of isolation
from the world and from men which
the great sea alone can inspire. Some
among us, II may be, had fallen al
most to despair when the rogues set
TO again. This would have been at
three bells OF the afternoon watch. A
,gunshot heard family across the wa
ters appeared to be the signal for some
new attack. I heard the rafting echoes
OF a volley. and, upon that, a second
and a third. Our glasses showed us q
great press of men engaged almost
hand TO hand amidships. Then a haze
OF smoke settled down upon the ship
and for many minutes hid her COM
pletely from our sight.
You may imagine with what beating
hearts and almost breathless hopes we
watched this second encounter and
waited for Its issue. Very wisely, Larry
would not approach the scene a second
time, or risk again those perils we had
SO readily faced before. Whatever har-
vest we might reap, our gamers would
be as readily filled afar as by any mad
concession TO curiosity which should
drive us within the danger zone. II the
rogues were killing a other, as evil
IDENTIFY they were, 1t could serve us not
at all to witness the horrors of that
tragedy or seek IN some vague way
to take part In 1t. AS for its deeper
meaning, I had from the first clenched
my thoughts against that, and refused
TO take c~ognizaace of it. The knowl-
edge that Joan Fordibras was the pris-
oner OF such a crew, that other decent
women might be aboard the Diamond
Ship with her. that, / say, had I per-

DROPPING the Medicine.

Medicine,so strong that a dose must
be limited to seven drops had been
prescribed for the man with unsteady
hands. His family also had shaky
hands. and as there was no medicine
dropper in the house it looked as if
somebody would have to make mid
night trip to the drug store. But
visiting relative that they had put up
for the night suggested an alterna-
tive.

Even In Polite Japan.

city says:
Conductors ought to be positively
forbidden to push passengers by main
force into crowded cars. 1t is most

you peremptorily to go into car that
it is quite impossible to find room in
When a car is full it is full. and there
is no way to get into it except by be-
ing rude to those occupying it. Now.
If the conductor is honestly convinced
that there is room for an extra pas
senger in the crowded car he ought
himself to be compelled to find the
space for you before ordering you to
enter. But this does not bother him in
the least. He simply tells you that
you must go in and compels you to
make room for yourself"

Winter Keeping of veaetabIe..

The matter Of keeping Irish pota-
toes, cabbages, onions, beets, etc., all
winter for family use depends on
climatic conditions. Irish potatoes, as
also beets, should be guarded against
freezing. Beets and carrots can stand
little Of it, but are better off when
kept from it. Cabbages stored in the
cellar should be wrapped separately in
double thicknesses Of newspaper, fold
ing and tying it around the stem.
Hang each head upside down on the
side Of the wall or from the beams
overhead. Cabbages can stand some
freezing, but not too much of it, nor
much freezing and thawing. Onions
to keep well must be put in cool,
dry, airy place.-Farm and Fireside
