In taking up the work of special
propaganda among women, two main
points were considered: How to in
terest and educate the women in So
cialism and how to get them into the
Local and not into little group work
ing among themselves.
Coul the two objects be accomplish
ed at the same time?
In the first place we called our
workers in this field a Committee
on Propaganda Among Women" rath-
er than "Woman's Committee" The
latter is, to be sure, shorter and more
easily said but it seems at once to
place the women in pigeon-hole.

IMPROVED TRAIN
SERVICE TO FAITH
Milwaukee Officials Agree to Put
Daily Mixed Trains ON Chey-
enne Branch.

Milwaukee officials yesterday
made arrangements with the Com
mercial clubs Of Faith and Dupree
to operate a mixed train on the
Cheyenne river branch daily. eX-
cept Sunday, at a very early date.
This arrangement was made be-
tween the railroad company and
the commercial cllbs direct, and
the commercial clubs of these
towns have withdrawn their com
plants filed with the state railroad
and warehouse commission.
Sometime ago complaints were
fled with the commission by the
commercial clubs requesting daily
passenger service on the Cheyenne
river branch. Yesterday Colonel
Harry f. Hunte", general agent
for the road, j. f. Richards,
superintendent for the Puget sound
line at Mobridge, and w. G. Port
er, Milwaukee attorney, went to
Faith and Dupree, held consulta-
ton with the business men Of the
two towns, and arbitrated the
question, settling on mixed trains
each way daily, except Sunday.
1t was also agreed on the part
of the railroad officials, to improve
the time and to put on extra trains
as soon as possible, thus giving
the south branch the same train
facilities as the Moreau river
branch enjoys.
The roadbeds will be improved
and many other features of the
service on the west branches will
be bettered as soon as harvesting
lessons down sufficiently to enable
the railroads to secure laboreIs to
carry on the work already mapped
out. -Aberdeen News.

Eoston's Spinning School.

Comparatively few people know that
there was once a spinning school on
Boston common. Winsor's Memorial
History of Boston records that upon
the arrival in Boston of some Irish
spinners and weayers a spinning craze
took possession Of the town, land the
women, young and old, high and low,
rich ana poor, hOcked into the spinning
school. which for want of better quar-
ters was set up in the common, in the
open air. Here the whir of their
wheels was heard from morning to
night" T~hirty-ive years later the So
ciety For Encouraging Industry and
Employing the Poor again used the
common as a spinning school, about
300 young women appearing there,
seated at their wheels, as a sort of eX
ample and advertisement.

Geometry. so called from its original
APPLICATION to measuring the earth, is
generally believed to have had its orr

ably sprang from the surveyors art.
The annual inundation of the Nile car
ried away all landmarks and bound
aries, and some scientific means of set
Ting the disputes incidental thereto
had to be devised; hence surveying,
the undoubted fountainhead of geom-
etry. Geometry is said to have been
introduced into Greece by the philOsO-
pher ThaleS about the year 600 b. G.
The science was cultivated by Pythag-
oras, through whom it was made pop
ular in Greece. from which country
it spread over the then known world.

some of the fastidious statesmen from
Boston and other cities We'd with each
other in the correctness of their attire.
Soon after the arrival of the Douglas

seeking an opportunity to have fun at
his expense, called out to him. Have
they no smarter men than you to send

The man from Douglas smiled in

THE SOFT ANSWER.
General Scott's Retort to His Whist
Partners Apology.

After his retirement General Scott
passed the summer of 1862 ut Cozzen's
hotel, West Point, where every even
ing a party Of gentlemen adjourned to
the generals sitting room for their
game. Being a good plaeer, the host
was usually victorious, but if he and
his partner were ever beaten SCOTS
ire was made manifest.
One night it happened that the usual
party was missing. What was to be
done? The general must have his
whist. There happened to be staying
at the hotel a judge, who was asked to
do the favor of taking the fourth hand.
With some protest on his part he
agreed to do it. BY cutting for part
ners the general and the judge played
together and were Internationally
beaten.
Knowing how it irritated the gen
eral to lose the game, the judge as he
rose from the table said in his most
dignifed and courtly way: Il formerly
played a fairly good game of whist,
but have been out of practice so long
that l am somewhat rusty. l hope
that fact may be taken as an Excuse
for my mistakes"
Whereupon the general arose with
equal dignity and retorted, II am glad
to learn that l have been playing with
latent talent and not with a natural
born fool."

Of him a good story is told. He was a
large, pompous man, intolerably self

conduct toward his neighbors was so
offensive that the good people success
fully requested their minister to preach
a sermon directed at their vain neigh
Dor.
The day came. The little kirk was
packed, though a few tender hearted
mes stayed at home, not wishing to
witness their neighbours humiliation.
The sermon began, and Mr.. McDou-
gall disposed himself to listen. The
mans infrmity was sketched with
bold, severe strokes. He smiled with
lofty superiority. AS the denunciation
grew more scathing his smile deepened
with a touch Of complacent pity. At
the conclusion of the service he swag-
gered down the aisle. One Of the eld-
ers Joined him.

WINTER WHEAT IN
THE NORTHWEST
Professor Thomas Shaw Gives Some
Valuable Pointers About
This Crop.

Professor ThOs. Shaw, Of Fargo,
has the following about growing
winter wheat;
The copious rains of late July
and early August are especially
favorable to the winter wheat crop
of 1912, if the farmers will only
take advantage Of the opportunity
that is thus brought to them.
These rains will readily sprout the
grain sown in August whether
sown on summer failOw, or on corn
land or drilled in amid the stubble
of small grain. The opportunity
should. therefore, be embraced to
SOW freely winter wheat in both
the Dakotas and Montana.
In Montana winter wheat sown
in August on summer fallOw land
will be sown under especially
favorable conditions. The wheat
will not only terminate readily,
but will make a strong growth be-
fore going into the winter. In
North Dakota experience has
shown that to SOW winter wheat
without protection on summer
fallowed land or on any other kind
of land is hazardous. and there
fore, it should not be done. What
has been said of summer fallowed
land will apply equally to corn
land. There will be ample moisture
in the corn land to sprout the
grain. In both Montana and
Dakota when winter wheat is sown
in corn land with a small one
horse drill, it should be sown in
August, regardless of the stage of
advancement in the growth of the
corn. But in Montana, except
e the North Dakota border, it
is not necessary to leave the corn
stalks standing in order to protect
the wheat. In North Dakota this
is imperative. The corn stalks
should be left standing. These
will aid in holding snow and they
will break the force of the cold
winds.
But the rains referred to make
it possible to get fair crops of
winter wheat next year by simply
drilling the wheat in amid the
stubble without blowing the land.
This plan is not to be commended
except under special conditions
Those special conditions are mark
eddy present this year. They are
such as relate to a heavy rainfall
in the late summer, and to the
ability of the farmer to remove
quickly thu crop that grew upon
the land. Wheat drilled in on
such land, especially if it is new
land, under the conditions that
are now present, will be almost
certain to produce a fair crop mex
year, regardless of the weather
conditions. 1t is better to drill
the wheat into stubble land with
out any discing, es~cecially this il
true in North Dakota, for the disc
ing Of the stubbles will destroy tn,
protection of the plants which i

SAGE TEA WILL

Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Col0r=-Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the ide
OF using sage for restoring the color
of h hair. Our grandmothers kept
their hair dark. glossy and abundant
by the use of a simple Sage Tea
Whenever their hair fell out or took
on a dull, feded or streaked appear
ance they made a brew of sage leaves
and applied it to their hair with won
derfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to the old-time tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chemists
better h we could do it ourselves,
and all we have to do is to call for
the ready-made product. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. containing
Sage In the proper strength, with the
addition of Sulphur. another old-time
scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and Is one OF
