NJ AS ZEAL HERO!NEG
High Example Of Service and Saeri.
flee Shown by American Mis-
sionaries In China.

The splendid heroism so often
displayed by American women in the
face of danger is newly exemplifed
in the case of two Pennsylyanians,
sisters, Misses Minnie and Emma
Liggett.
These young women are engaged
in missionary work at a station in
China which is one of the most dan
gerous points in the territory in
yolved in the present revolution.
They have been strongly urged, both
by friends and by the American con-
sular authorities, to leave the place
and proceed to some seaport, where
greater protection car be provided
for them, but have steadfastly re-
fused to do so. They are fully
aware Of the danger which threatens,
but insist upon remaining at their
post Of duty. They have, therefore,
sent to their relatives in P~ennsylya-
MIA their policies Of life insurance,
and many small articles Of value, to-
gether with Inventories of their be-
Iongings and certain directions by
which they may be identified in case
the oft-threatened massacre becomes
a reality.
The high example Of service and
sacrifice presented by these heroic
American women is not surpassed by
any set by the soldiers Of the oppos-
ing armies in the ancient empire.

DIARIES ARE OFTEN USEFUL
Incident That Proves Keeping Of Rec
ord of Events Is Mighty
Good Custom.

Much has been said in derision Of
the keeping of diaries and some Of
this adverse comment is probably
justified. Yet the custom has its
real uses, as a single incident will
prove.
Young Roy Connors was recently
placed on trial in a Minnesota town
on a charge of burglary. A store
had been broken into and the bur-
glar departed, leaving his coat be-
hind. That coat, it was clearly e.
tablished, had once belonged to
young Connors, and the case looked
bad for him.
But when his mother took the
stand as a witness in his behalf she
produced her diary, which contained
an entry, written the night of the
burglary, August IA, which showed
that she and her son had spent the
entire evening together, and that the
young man went to bed before she
did. Moreover, there was an entry
of June 3, according to which she
had given to a tramp that day the
coat found near the scene of the
burglary two months later. The jury
acquitted the defendant without
leaving the box.

WILLING TO LET THEM.

Wiggin was asked how she stood on
the vote for women question. She
replied she didn't "stand at ALL" and
told a story about a New England

and who, hurrying from churn to
sink, from sink to shed, and back
to the kitchen stove, was asked if
she wanted to vote. "No, l certain

Sorry He Got

ADDY began by saying to Jack ana Evetn:'I don't want youto think
thatI approve OF either Mr.. Fox or Mr.. Crow In the story I am going
~ to tell you. Far from it
"Ar Grow was a sad thief He hadn't been very wen brought IN.
and he didn't quite understand that it is very very wrong to take things that
don't belong to you
so when he saw a nice piece Of cheese in a cottage window he wanted
it very much. He waited until no one was about and then he few down and
took the cheese. 4n@a~s

when Mr.. Fox saw Mr.. Grow sneak off with the pieceaof cheese he started
right after him MI. Fox liked cheese too " 4@2@#*
When he reached Mr. Grow he found him perching on top Of a tall pine
tree with the cheese fondy balanced in his bill !
MY dear Mr. Grow, how ire youT Mr. Fox began I'm delighted to see
you. You're looking splendid, but then you always do look well, and your
high spirits seem never to leave you I heard yesterday you were the life of

Cav, cav! began the crow, and the cheese fell right into MI. Foxs

the woods laughing to think how easily he had fooled Mr.. Grow. t
But it happened that Mr.. Fox had made a mistake, clever is he thought
himself.

WILD CAT BUYING.

North Dakotans, and especially Far
goans, have been frequent victims Of
oily tongued promoters and vendors,
Things look good when they are FAR
away. There is something about dis
lance that lends enchantment. Even
hard headed business men will some
times permit themselves to be grated
in Florida lands and fake mining
schemes. Others will fall more easily
to the smooth schemes of the tram
silent schemers.
Honest men nave sold lands that
were 1000 miles way and turned out
ali right. Occasional mines have de-
veloped wonderfully and given mar
Vicious returns for the original invest
ment-but these are the exceptions.
It is seldom safe t. invest in those
kind of propositions without proper
investigation.
North Dakota could very properly
utilize a drastic law regulating the
fellows who promote invalid schemes.
Kansas has passed a measure that bars
AGENTS, promoters and fakers-who
cannot satisfy the officials of the solid
ity and honesty of their enterprises.
This will prevent some fools and their
mbney from becoming separated.
Some legislator may give this matter
proper consideration at the approach
ing session Of the state legislature.

VENTILATION.

The cooler nights have come. 1t
will not be many weeks till North Da-
kota will have both cold days and
nights-and as this period approaches
the subject of proper ventilation OF
living and sleeping rooms will come
up.
There are wild-eyed advocates of
fresh air-men without reason. These
do much to handicap the efforts to Sc
cure pure air. They are too intemper-
ate. Because they are strong, they
seem to think everyone else is able to
stand the same amount of exposure.
.On the other hand there are the fin
icky weaklings, who-with the first
cool bIasts-want the windows made
air tight and the storm doors put on.
They breathe and Tebrcathe the same
foul air for hours-and become weaker
aid more pasty looking all the time.
Somewhere between these two ex-
trhmes is the proper medium. Not all
people can have rooms and homes and
Offices that are scientifically ventilat-
ed. The great majority have to use
cruder methods. They must depend
Oh windows and doors for fresh air.
The Forum hopes these windows
and doors will be opened often this
faal and winter-that an abundance of
fresh air will be permitted. 1t will
mean sounder bodies-clearer brains
1s6s n, great deal
more energy.

BETTER WEATHER.

North Daokta can stand several
weeks of fine weather. The condition
of some of the unthreshed grain was
bad enough, in all truth. Not all the
crop was seriously damaged. In most
cases we'll shocked wheat was not hurt
badly, but there are other places in
the state where some OF this has
sprouted in the shock. The farmer
will lose-not only the amour of
grain that has been germinated-but
will also suffer from a loss of grade
from this source.
With the good weather that now
prevails much progress is being made
and it will not require a great period
to relieve the present conditions. Much
high grade wheat still remains in the
shocks. practically uninjured-but all
farmers were not so fortunate.
