will make you laugh and. cry at the
same time in their new comedy: "a
Wise Fool" While laughter predomi-
mates in this production, there are
times when tear will start, only t., be
brushed away to enjoy the splendid
comedy that follows. It is seldom that
two artists are found together that are
equally at home in comedy and pathos,
To be able to play one style Of part,
and one only, does not constitute an ac-
tor or an actress. but in order to be en-
rolled among the real artists, one must
have the ability to interpret any and
all kinds Of characters, and during their
career Frank 9. King and Chic Per-
kins have successfully played most any
conceivable character. They are artists
in the true sense Of the word, and will
appear at the opera house, Thursday
evening, April 18th.

In Praise 60 Of. Splitting.

Anent the anti-spitting posters which
are now being displayed in all public
places of our city, it might be useful
for our readers to peruse the follow
ing squib clipped from an eastern ex-
change:
One of the reassuring evidences of
sturdiness in this daintily refined age is
the great number of persons who con-
tinue to spit with unabated vigor
wherever they may be-. Let the doc
tors proclaim what they will about the
danger of this practice, it is not to be
denied that splitting ranks high among
American arts, having decorative
value not to be lightly dbne away with
in Difference to mere precautions of
hygiene and sanitation. There is no
more lovely sight and sound than a
splitter in action, and the delightful
traces Of him, remaining, when he has
departed, awaken in all men and
women an instant admiration. Pleasure
and proficiency in this art are so wide
spread that it seems advisable to Or
ganize for its further encouragement.
Possibly helpful beginning would be
the formation of national committee
to draw up rules governing the artistic
expulsion in public of miscellanies from
the mouth, in the advancing of which
worthy cause every American who has
the best interests of his country at
heart will gladly furnish for expert
ment whatever of his that is available,
from the sidewalks of his city to the
ceiling of his home.

The Standard Oil Company Re.
duces the Price Of Oil
and Gasoline.

The Standard Oil Company announces
a reduction in price on both kerosene
and gasoline varying from one-half to
one cent per gallon at all North Dakota
points. This reduction in price is made
possible on account of their increased
and improved shipping and marketing
facilities. The reduction in price is
made at this time Notwithstanding the
fact that there is an advance in freight
rates affecting thirty or more of their
station points in North Dakota.
The Standard Oil Company states
that this is the fifth reduction in the
price of kerosene oil and the third re-
duction in the price of gasoline since
October LIST, 1910. This will result in
great benefit to the consumers Of oil
and gasoline in North Dakota at this
time.

Five Points of a Dairy Cow.

The five points to be observed in
selecting a good dairy COW was the
subject of an address made by o. c..
Gregg at the St. Johns Farmers Insti-
tute.
First. Large body and especially
middle piece. indicating capacity for
eating and digesting lot of food.
Second. Thinly feshed backbone and
especially back of the shoulders. This
indicates that the food is not made into
flesh.
Third. Large udder, as it is here the
milk is made.
Fourth. Large milk wells. 1t is
through these that the blood returns to
the heart from the udder. If they are
large it indicates that q large amount
of blood passes through! the udder.
Fifth. Large clear eyes. This in
dicates good nerves, and they drive the
organs of digestion and milk making.
He said that sixth point could be
added-the scales and the Babcock test.

SOME HINTS FOR THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER

after seeding and follow this immedi-
ately with the harrow. Harrow or
weed at intervals until the corn is six
to eight inches high and then cultivate
at intervals of a week or ten days.
particularly after heavy rains, until the
middle of July. Use the blade type Of
cultivator if possible. Have the culti-
vator blades or shoes as sharp as pos
sible and do not cultivate more than
two inches deep at any time. Should
heavy soaking rains come in late July
or early August go through the corn
field with one horse cultivator, run
shallow and re-establish the soil mulch.
Have the corn mature it possible, but
if it should be frozen or should there be
great danger of frost-cut Immediately.
Corn cut the day following hard freeze
does not lose nearly as much of its
feeding value as corn left three or more
days after a freeze before cutting.
Shock the corn up in straight rows
make large shocks and tie the tops of
the shocks with twine as soon as made.
Disc the ground as soon as the corn is
shocked and should drenching rains
come later harrow the land before a
crust can form and thus re-establish
the soil mulch.
According to the rotation planned
plot No. should be in Rustler's white
dent corn, plot No. 2 in oats and peas,
plot No. in N. D. 3l6 blue stem,
clover and timothy, plot No. q in
Swedish Select oats and plot No. S in
Arnautka macaroni wheat.
Plot No. should be seeded with oats
at the rate of two bushels per acre be-
tween April 20th and May 1st, other
wise it should be treated exactly the
same as plots No. 3 and No. Switch are
in wheat. When seeded the wheat on
plot No. seed eight poAnds clover and
seven pounds timothy mixing the same
with the wheat and seeding through
the drill.
Have the wheat treated with formal
dehyde sufficiently long before seeding
so that the outside of the kernels will
be perfectly dry SO that none of the
formaldehyde will get in contact with
the clover seed.
On plots No. 4 and No. sow two
pounds clover seed per acre when the
wheat is four or five inches high and
allow the harrow to cover the clover
up, or use the weeder if you can secure

happen to call forth this physical
strength and agility. and then his school
comrades Though they were never termed
'comrade" by Benz would be loud In
their praise of him. As the months
went by this spirit Of resentment and
defiance developed amazingly in Ben. He
purposely managed to bring about sew
eral fist fights with boys OF his class,
arranging these brutal conflicts when of
the school grounds. He wanted in some
way to show the town boys that he
was their superior in some one thing.
OF refinement and culture he had none,
but Of brute strength and endurance he
had more than should fall TO the lot of
one boy, especially If that boy knew not
how to use them.
One of these fights caused a bitterness
to spring up between Ben, who became
known as Battling Ben," and two boys
Of his class. These boys had never been
very friendly in their attitude toward
the big, rough country boy, and Ben's
treatment of them in return had brought
about open hostility. And this had in
turn caused a breach between them
which widened as the winter grew. And
