Purity Of speech means somethirg
more than the omission Of vulgar
phrases that ought not to be used by
any sslf.respecting person. A young
girl should carefully avoid falling into
slapsy or careless modes Of speech.
You can shut your eyes aud tell
whether the woman next to you IL a
lady Tor, should say, genrleman2)
by listening TO her conversation. There
has been in recent years reactien
sgsinstithe word "lsdy,D because 1t
has often been misapplied. There is
really no reason why we should not

Purity OF speech requires the omis-
zion OF slang aud silly supefiiuous
phrases. The latter, while perhaps not
profans, are often not refined, and
show that ones associations have been
with ill-bred persons.
To think before you speak is an ex-
oellent RUE.
You should make up your mind
once for all to Use only grammatical
words aud phrases 70 represent the
thing you mean to say, s'hada'i
ought, or s'ain't,n or use singular
verb with a plural noun.
Most girls have gone through the
grammar school, IL not further, and
they have been taught what IL right
and what IL wrong IN framing sen
fences In English.
Vocabulary Is another matter.
We acquire a good stock Of words
for daily use, a working vocabulary;
that Is, partly by our own pains and
care, and partly by listening to others
who use good language ard partly by
everyday reading few pages In a
book that is worth attention.
No matter how busy one Is, she
should try to keep one book on hand
and read it throudh page by page, al.
though To do 70 may occupy several
weeks. More than most people think
they enrich their vocabulary by rcgu-
larly attending church services. The
habit Of listening to sermons does
more for you than its object which ID
to lift the mind into an atmosphere OF
devotion.
II adds little by little to your treas
ury of beautiful and vel, chcsen words.

The offering for the week Of April
s at the Orpheum is something that
will be pleasing to all classes Of the
atregoers. Fol- the first three days
of next week the h~eadliners will be
Nelson's School Kids, which is recog-
nized I've the country as being the
finest school act yet introduced in
vaudeville. Songs, dances and dia-
logue are introduced.
Jacobs & Berth and comedians who
are known as the American Laugh
Brokers have an act that is entirely
new to Fargo audiences.
Stone & Mckay, the harpist and
singer, have a pleasing little comedy
musical sketch which they have named
Twenty Minutes From Ireland, and
it goes well everywhere.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richards will again
delight the audiences with a new
novelty song which will please and
there are several new moving pictures.
For the last half the week the Five
Juggling Normans, fresh from Europe,
with a brand new act will be the head
liner and their act is recognized every
where as being the best in that line.
m husSeIlS' lnSlnB, taking anu
dancing comedians, will be sure to
please. They are Just off the ''big
time circuit, where they made good
for the past two years.
Then there is Maureen Englin, who
has a singing act and a ~pianologue in
which she more than makes good.
The Richards will have a brand new
song for the last three days of the
week. There are three shows daily,
2: 80 in the afternoon, 1880 and 900 in
the evening.

MINK FARMING.

The raising Of wild animals for their
fur is a subject of much interest to
many persons. This is evidenced by
the number of requests for information
that are addressed to the United
states department Of agriculture. The
department has no publication on the
mink, but the biological urv offers
the following practical hints on mink
farming:
Minks should be kept in the pro-
norton of one male to 5 or 6 fe-
males, and each breeding female
should have a separate pen. Rutting
begins about the middle of February,
and the young are born about the
middle of April. The male should be
kept by himself except at mating
time, when he should be admitted to
the females pen for about one day.
The females must be kept separate
or they win be likely to kill each
others young. The male would also
kill them if he had a chance.
Bread and sweet milk, corn-mush
and milk, or corn-mush cooked with
bits Of meat in it, is the best steady
food. Meat (Which may be of a very
cheap kind) or fish should be pro-
yided about twice a week. Feed
once a day, except females that are
sucking young. which. should be fed
twice. Provide fresh water regularly.
Do not salt the food. Keep pans clean
and feed only as much as the animals
will eat up clean at each feeding.
Pens should be 5 or 6 feet
square, the sides Of smooth wide
boards cut 4 feet long and set up
with the lower end resting on a foot
ing of Stone or concrete eighteen
inches in the ground. The sides may
be Of heavy wire netting instead OF
boards. but in that case the top would
need to be neeted or the animals would
climb out. Pens may be built econom-
icalIy in groups of -four or more The
floor of the pen should be the bare
ground.
Boxes about . feet by IL by III feet
in size should be provided for nests.
and should have hinged lids 10 as to
allow their being opened and exam-
ined. The boxes may be outside the
pens, bolted to the fence, with a hole
in the fence and box to admit the an
imaIs. Boxes should be three or four
inches above the ground, and should
be as dark as possible, with a hole A
inches in diameter for the entrance OF
the minks. Al ~boarded-up passageway
liz an excellent device TO insure dark
ness inside the nest box. Fine straw
or hay should be pswyided.

ramento valleys. Generally wet from
Kansas city to Albany, N. \.
But nearly all sections have an
abundance OF moisture and all condt-
tions appear to be favorable to splen-
did crop weather conditions at end OF
April. These good conditions will
probably tend to lower all prices OF
farm and plantation products ana
therefore dealers in those products
should expect prices to weaken
II natural conditions r permitted
to control our financial affairs there
is nothing in sight that promises hard
times or less prosperity for the people
than existed last year. The pubic,
and particularly the producers, should
not be disturbed by the seeming I'M
steadiness in government matters;
those furries will pass and prosperity
will continue.
Great weather events, on many parts
of the earth are expected during the
week centering on May 81. About June
/ or 2 great disturbances are expected
on the sun, both storm center and anti
cyclone. The storm centers on the
sun are bright spots, called faculae,
and the anti cyclones are called sun
spots and are same as our cold waves
These spots will appear a little west
to the right-of SUMS center, the
bright spots will be q little south of
suns center, and the dark spots farth-
er south.
l expect an electric disturbance on
this continent last few days Of May
and not far from that time tornadoes
are expected. Severe storms from mid
die of May to June 10.
Scientists who are in the employ OF
! nearly all governments believe that
the sun, from some unknown cause
changes periodically, the amount Of
force it sends out and they are trying
to find the length Of those periods In
order that they may be able to forecast
our weather.
I believe the cause lies in the chang
ing relations of the planets and thai
they affect our earth on the same
principles that n magnet affects
: another.

The Mutt and jeff cartoons by Bud
Fisher, now running in The New York
American and half a hundred other
newspapers all over the country, have
the unique distinction of being the
first series of cartoons which have
actually interested grown-up folks as
much, if not more than the children.
One of the features of their success
can be best described as producing
the maximum of fun by the minimum
of labor Or effort. A half dozen off,
hand strokes of a crayon, in the hands
Of this clever artist, produces an eff

continents laugh every day. In other
words, of, as his own creations would
word it, Fishers the easy money kid.
Without d particle of exaggeration,
it is a known fact that the young
men of New York anG other cities,
actually get out of their cozy nest early
mornings, to get a copy of The Am
erican OF their local paper, to see
