ARRESTED ON
ASSAULT CHARGE
HIGH FLOWN LANGUAGE BRINGS CAR.
STEMS TO CRlEF.---N01lCE OF
APPEAL GIVEN

The status of marriage with
Celestials was established in Judge
Smiths court Monday when
Charles Lam Ling, propri-
etor of the Williston Hotel
swore out a complaint against L.
B. Carstens, Sr., charging him
with assault.
A minor son of Carstens has
been employed at the Williston
and Carstens senior claimed an
account against the proprietor for
services alleged to have been done
by the youth. Mrs. Lam Ling as
acting business manager drew
down the wrath of Carstens upon
her head when she refused to come
across with the mazuma and he
expressed his disgust with Cau-
casian ladies in general, who chose
as consorts, former children of the
Celestial kingdom and with Mrs.
Lam Ling in particular, in highly
colored descriptive sdjectlves,
articles and definitives adjectives.
Mrs. Lam Ling was incised and
the warrant was drawn and placed
in the hands of Officer Nolan who
hailed the offender into Judge
Smith court to answer to the
charge of assault. Attorney A.
J. Stafne of the firm of Stafne &
Maloney had personal charge of
the case, who when Carstens was
assessed FIVE and costs, gave notice
of appeal.

being made to conserve what moisture
there was, gave large sections Of the
state over to drought.
Happily, those visitations are things
Of the past. We have learned by bitter
experience that it does not pay to
waste moisture, since it is the most
important element connected with
agricultural prosperity. 1t is enough
that heaven sends abundant showers
during the year, and every year, though
we formerly suffered because there
was not sufficient rainfall during the
growing season.
We now conserve what moisture falls
out of the growing season as well, that
1t may constitute q reserve of moisture
should dry spells occur between seed
time and harvest. Drought has thus
been conquered.
The Better Farming Association.
AS before remarked, the jolt caused
by the unsatisfactory crops of 1910 and
1911 caused business men and farmers
alike to sit up and take notice.
Upon investigation, it was agreed
at once that it was not lack Of fer
tility, for no state Is possessed of more
fertile soil. 1t was not lack of moist
ure, for the average is unfailingly suf-
1cient, If not sucked out by weeds and
otherwise permitted to escape from the
soil. II was not lack of available in
formation, but lack OF application OF
that information. It was conceded
that methods and principles already
demonstrated and tried out must some
how be put into universal practice by
farmers. This required funds to or
ganize the propaganda and to carry
the information directly to the farm
ers and to convince them by word of
mouth, by personal contact, and by
actual demonstration that by doing
the right amount of work, al the right
time and in the right way, such a thing
as crop failure In North Dakota would
become a very remote possibility.
/ Accordingly, the business men of the
twin cities, Duluth, and the bankers
of the state raised the necessary funds,
by private subscription, to supply the
missing link that existed between the
department of agriculture, the expert
ment stations. and the agricultural
college on the one hand, and the farm
ers on the other.
Bulletins are OF immense imports
ance and represent the very exac re-
suits Of experimentation. The farm
ers' institute 10 an important agency;
but neither gent far enough. 1t was
not enough to be told how, on the
printed page, or by speech in a pub
lie hall. The farmer had to be shown.
and this Is what college extension
means and what the Better Farming
association put into practical form.
Congress. soon after, made liberal
appropriations for college extension
work, with the proviso that the several
states should appropriate d CORE

since carried on by the agricultural

old feudal laws requiring compulsory
attendance were repealed.
Now the child goes to school. For
merly only the child's head went to
school. Now the children are taught
to do things as well as to study marks
and characters in books. Now the

gible goal which less than M per

Good Roads.
Coincident with the consolidation OF
the rural schools and to meet the de-
mands for the rural free mail deliy-
cry, the legislative assembly enacted a
law requiring the payment, in cash, of
all road taxes. Competent engineers
were at once employed to lay out and
supervise the grading Of highways and
a general system of road work estab-
Hished, (under the present contract
system) whereby the roads are kept
in constant repair by road experts
who make use Of the spiitlog drag and
other tools adapted specially for road
work. The expense is no greater than

The venerable James J. Hill, during
an address before the Federated Agri-
cultural clubs Of North Dakota held
last fall in the city of Devils Lake,
made the following observations: "And
our highways! Ny! what an inn
provement! You complained only q
few years & that nature was against
making good roads in North Dakota
ID want to tell YOU, and you see it now
for yourselves, that nature gave you
the yerv best material for road maxi
ing. only it took you a long time to
find it out. You had to get rid Of
YOUR old foggy notion of every man
working as he pleased and when he
pleased-with too many of them not
half working, at that. The old sys-
tenn was wholly wrong and nothing
very good could ever be expected to
come Of It. Now see what has been
achieved in the improvement Of your
highways. In the past seven years. /
unhesitatingly pronounce the roads of
North Dakota, for dirt roads, seldom
ecualed and nowhere excelled."

quite generally that the system in
vogue by the general run of farmers
was wrong. Others commended that il
was lack Of system that caused all the
trouble.
The agricultural college had plead
for years for sufficient funds to carry
practical information direct to the
farmers by an organized system OF
college extension work, instead OF
reaching them only by means of ex-
pertinent station bulletins and public
addresses. The college management
believed that it possessed the neces-
sary information that, if put into ac-
tual and universal practice, would
overcome the effects Of drought and
other evils that occasionally nulliied
the efforts of farmers to produce uni
formly profitable rops.
Moreover, the twenty-five demon
stration farms scattered throughout
the state, wherein the results of the
experiment stations had been put to
practical test in q field way, had uni
formly doubled the average yield OF
the state.
But funds barely sufficient to main
tain. in meagre fashion, the work on
the college campus and on the sub
experiment stations could be had
with no funds to extend the helping
hand directly and personally, to them
who toiled In the field, except in the
form of public speech or bulletin
literature, neither of which effectually
Influenced those who had been led to
believe that farming in North Dakota
was not different from that practised
in humid regions. Moreover, the good
years preceding 1910 made most farm
ers skeptical of adverse conditions
notwithstanding the average yield Of
small grains was steadily declining
Many even were led to believe thai
the climate had changed and that dry
years would never again be expert

Europe's Rose Gardens.

Though the rose is grown for trade
in many parts of Europe, its culture
for commercial purposes Is now prin-
cipally monopolized by the vast rose
gardens Of Grasse in France and of
Kasanlik In Bulgaria--the rose gar
dens of Europe, par excellence-and
the manufactures produced from
them supply in a great measure the
markets of the world. Here acres Of
roses take the place of corn, vines
and orchards Of other lands, and some
idea of the French trade may be OBJ
tanned when we learn that the gar.
dens of Grasse, Cannes and the neigh
boring villages yield nearly 2.650.000
pounds OF roses annually; on some
days as many as $50 tons of blossoms
are picked In the province of the
Apes Maritines. The beautiful va
Tieties, so much priced by gardeners,
are useless for commercial purposes
and the only plant used is the Cab
bage Provence.

PoSTHUMoUS CHILDREN WHOSE
= NAMES ARE FAMOUS.
Birth OF Child of John Jacob kstor
Has Aroused Interest In the List,
Which Contains Many Per-
sons OF Note.

The birth of posthumous child o
John Jacob Aston arouses especial in
terest and sympathy because Of thf
tragic death of the father in the tt
| tanfc disaster Yet all posthumous
children excite such sentiments Some
of these children have moreover at
tracted additional attention from the
world in after life through their owr
! achievements.
Alexander the Great has been said
by some historians to have been born
after the death of his father. but &C
cording to other authorities Philip OF
Macedon lived to enjoy the compan,
ionship of his son for several years. 1t
may be that Alexander's stepbrother
was a posthumous child, but that has
not been proved.
Ben Jonson, the Fllzabethan dram
atist, was born in 1873, month after
his fathers death. He was fortunate
in acquiring a stepfather who was a
good friend to him and gave him an
excellent education.
Thomas Herbert was OF posthumous
birth. says his elder brother, Lord
Herbert of Cherbury. He is remem-
bered chiefly as the brother OF Lord
Herbert OF Cherbury and Of George
Herbert, the poet.
Early In the seventeenth century
another child came into the world I'M
dor cd r,ilar conditions This uau IRA
ham Cowley, the English poet. His
father, who had been a grocer In hum
BILE circumstances, died shortly before
the birth OF the son. Thanks to the
unfagging struggle and devotion OF
his mother the boy received good
education and his poetic genius had
opportunity for development.
Dean Swift was born q few months
after his fathers death, Kindly dis
posed relatives helped his mother with
his upbringing and education.
Adam Smith, author of THE Wealth
of Nations put In his appearance in
this world some four months after the
death of his father.
Still another English poet was a
posthumous child. This was Thomas
Chatterton, who was born in Bristol
about the middle of the eighteenth
century.
Andrew Jackson, seventh president
Of the United States, was born in a
little log cabin on the border line be-
tween North and South Carolina In
that same cabin his father, who had
come to America from the north coast
IF Ireland died few days before the
birth of his son.
Rutherford Birchard Hayes. the
president. was another
child. He was born In
October and his father died in the
July preceding.
The present king of Spain, Alfonso !
XIII. was born after his fathers |

Mary Queen OF Scots Just escaped |

when she was few days old. Richard |
