very largely upon the character Of the
subsoil and its relation to the sur
rounding land. When subdrainage is
necessary, the use of tile makes IL pos
sible to do away with open surface
bitches and so greatly facilitates the
operations of cultivation. Neverthe-
less the muck and peat of marsh lands
usually shrinks and settles consider
ably on drainage, making it often de-
sirable to leave open bitches for three
or four years until this shrinking has
taken place, after which the bitches
may be cleaned out and tile laid and
covered.
On some marshes, particularly those
covering considerable areas where the
marsh soil is coarse f1brous peat and
underlaid at relatively shallow depths by
coarse sand, IT is possible that too thor
ough drainage may occur so that crops
on such land. during very dry seasons,
may suffer for lack of water. Under
such conditions 1t is quite probable that
the use of dams at intervals in the
mains and larger lateral bitches for
holding back the water during very dry
seasons, viii be found advantageous.
In making plans for the drainage Of
any marsh land a complete examination
Of the subsoil should always be made
as this is the chief factor in determine
ing the plans which should be made for
its full drainage.

EARLY BETS
ON PRESIDENT

The presidential betting season has been in
augurated in Washington. The following three
wagers were made In the lobby Of the willard
hotel the other night by two men:
$40 to 500 that Taft win not be renomi-
mated.
500 to $40 that if renominated Taft win not
be elected.
$40 to 500 that Roosevelt will be nominated
and elected.
The interesting feature about these bets Is
that they were made between middle west Re
publicaus both of whom come from the presi-
dents own state. So far known they are

on the presidential campaign Of 1912 since the
pot really began to boil.
The man who bet against Taft thinks that
he has much the better Of the three wagers.
1t will be noticed that he gives odds in only
and receives odds in the other two. II
be wins the first bet, that Taft will not be re-
nominated, the second bet is off. In that
event he may lose the third bet and still be
$50 ahead. Altogether he stands to lose $3.50
and to win $500. He figures, however, that he
cannot lose the second bet, which is that Taft
will be elected. Furthermore, he thinks that
the odds which he obtained against the nomi-
nation and election Of Roosevelt are very

No Excuse Now for Greasy DOughnuts

A lady in Greenville, S. C., recently
wrote a friend as follows:
''For years, after preparing doughnuts
with the utmost care, was disap-
pointed to see them come out greasy
and unwholesome looking. However,
with my first use of Cottolene for fry
ing them, was delighted, as they were
brown, crisp and delicious.

Curbstone And Corridor

Major P. E. Wickham went through
here last night on his way east. Major
Wickham says that he is in no way
dismayed by 'he failure of county di-
vision at this time. He says that the
proposition is merely postponed, and
that two years from now it will be all
right. He is one of the big boosters
for Glen Ullin and for Morton county.
l.. A. Tavis of Glen Ullin, who was
here Sunday night on his way home
from St. Paul says that the land show
is a good one, but that the main
trouble with i. is that the show does
not attract as many farmers as desir-
ed. Lots of city people attend, but the
agricultural classes have not been
drawn to the show.
E. K. BitZing, N of the capable
editors of the Mandan Pioneer, was in
the city looking around. 1--WE sure
have the town all right" said Mr..
Biting, who speaks in round numbers
and with decision. "We have the wat
er and the coal and the dairy indus
tries. We have the pretty girls, lots
of them-an abundance. We have the
talent and the temperament. We have
everything-even money" And Mr..
Biting became lost in the contempla-
ton of a silken petticoat that he saw
in a show window.

SUBMITTING THE BALANCE
SHEET.

1t is a great pleasure to a party
ABOUT to retire from power temporar-
lily be able to show that every.
thing is in fine working order and,
indeed, better than ever before, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. A
business firm that changes its man
agement is fortunate to be thus sit.
uated, and if the change is due to
faction anxiety for the future must
be coupled with satisfaction as to the
past. A look over the expansion OF
the last ten years is timely. Popu.
lation has increased 20 per cent. Mo-
ney in circulation has gained 46 per
cent in the decade, and savings banE
deposits GO per cent. Loans and dis
counts Of national banks are 50 per
cent ahead of 1902. Imports of arti.
cles used in manufacturing have dou.
bled, and exports of manufactures
more than doubled. Beet sugar pro.
duction is three times as large as in
1902, and that of coal, petroleum and
tinplate has doubled. Pig iron has
gained over 80 per cent. Corn and
cotton are making new records.
In 1897 the republicans. resumed
control of the country under decided
lyf different conditions. The treasury
deficits had been heavy during the
years OF democratic control. A sur
plus has marked the present admin
istration. Interest on the public dehI
Is 100000 900 a year less than in
1900. Half the cost of the Panama
Canal thus far has been paid from
money on hand. The canal will soon
be open. Irrigation in its present
shape is less than ten years old.
Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto
Rico have been added to the national
domain since the democrats were last
in power. The navy has beer recon-
structed on mich more powerful
lines, and the army on peace footing
was never more efficient. The replIb.
lican party will soon be out, but not
down. It's latest period is the coun-
try's best. A fair.minded citizen will
be glad if the democratic party can
do better, or as we'll. Many will be
pleasedd if there is no serious back

repeating itself. At all events, the

DREAMS OF The FUTURE.

Over in France, years ago, Jules
Verne, novelist, dreamed OF boats
that would ply beneath the waters of
the ocean, trains that would run sixty
miles an hour and a means OF trans.
portation that would make it possible
to complete a trip around the world
in a period of eighty days. His books
were read with interest but his ideas
were called those of a dreamer and
beyond the possibility of eve being
realized. But a couple of years ago
a man named Metcalf came to Bis
marCk from Driscoll with the model
of a new airship which he claimed
would fly in the air, run on land or
could be propelled through the water.
Many people looked at his model, ad-
mired his inventive genius, but were
firmly convinced that his dreams
would never come true. Newspaper
report of the last few days have car
ried the news that just such a ma
chine has been manufactured and had
a successful test. Surely "the world
do move"
Newspaper reports Of the new ma
chine say:
With Mr.. Curtiss in the aviator's
seat in the boat, the throttle was Op-
ened. Without any preliminary ma
noeuvering the machine was headed
for the lake from the proving grounds
of the aviation field. The tail of the
boat dragged on the ground for about
one hundred and fifty feet, when it
raised, and the craft ran another hun
dred feet or the wheels alone. Then
the entire machine left the ground
and sailed away over the water.
After circling the lake the machine
was brought down and alighted on the
water like a bird. The success OF
this trial makes the flying boat a
craft suitable for navigating the land,
air and water and enlarges its scope
for military purposes. The German
navy has just ordered a boat of this
type.
