The rioting in the British house Of
commons during the debate on the
home rule bill would indicate that the
Tories, having been beaten in the cleo
lions and in argument, are now deter
mined to prevent justice to ireland by
rowdyism. This was one of the most
depraved scenes recently witnessed In
any parliament in the world. 1t is
quite in keeping that some of the chief
disturbers belonged to the degenerate
aristocracy.

HOW TO MAKE FLOWERS
BLOOM FOR CHRISTMAS.

If you would have bulbs in
bloom for Christmas start some
Roman hyaclnths and some Chi
nese lilies now The latter do
well in water, while the former
, will be more satisfactory In
earth.
If the room in which you
keep your house plants is not
} well heated, the best plants to
have are geraniums, sweet alys-
} sum, begonias and some of the
, cactuses, especially the variety
} known as the Christmas cactus
. and the asparagus sprengerl and
, asparagus plumosus.
! The winter blooming OXalis Is
a great favorite because of its
profuse Towering habit. The
yellow or buttercup oxalls must
) not be oyercrowded. Not more
than three bulbs should be plant
) ed in five inch pot, as they grow
very fast and soon become too
} crowded, sending up more leaves
than blossoms. Each large bulb,
in time, forms many small bulbs
at the bottom of the pot. The
oxalis needs bright sunshine, and
, n row of different colored va
rieties as n window sill decora
ton Is very satisfactory
One OF the best winter bloom
ing begonias Is Gloire de Lor-
raine. Its color is a deep rose,
with yellow centers, the flow
ers growing in clusters. The
foliage IS neat In appearance and
graceful Small plants obtain
} ed from the florist now will
make fine blooming plants by
Christmas, and will make good
, showing at that time when
we want our windows to be
brightest.

down, so that the crown of the

forehead and the back of the
neck Is pressing against the col
lar button. Now reach the chin
out as far as you can, then draw
IL back without moving the body
or changing the position of the
head. Repeat several times.
Now stand erect, resting on the
, balls of the feet; extend the arms
out In front Of you, just the
, width of the body apart; keep
the elbows straight, turn the
. palms up, with the back OF them
toward you. Now reach out with
} the palms as II you were trying

and the shoulders back as far

S%UFFRAGETTE NOTES

Grand Fork Herald: Women suff-
rage will come up before the North
Dakota Legislature at its session this
winter, and the Votes for Women
league of North Dakota, of which Mrs.
Alice Nelson Page of Grand Forks, is
a determined bid for support. In fact
the women have already placed their
campaign for the measure under way,
Mrs. Page having submitted to the
prospective members of the assembly a
letter in which she sets forth the aims
OF the league, and asking for their
views of the question. Mrs. Page has
received a number of replies already
from the candidates, and she is very
well pleased with the prospects of sue.
cess. h says the bill has received
even more favorable consideration at
their lands now than it did before the
legislature two years ago, when 1T was
defeated by a very narrow margin.
With an active statewide organization
working in behalf of the bill, Mrs. Page
is confident that the measure will be
successful before the assembly this
winter. She points out that there has
been n great deal of favorable agita-
ton since the 1911 assembly, and that
the people of this state seem, as a
whole, more favorably inclined toward
the principle. Under the North Dakota
method of amending the constitution,
1t will be necessary to have the suff-
age measure passed at two sessions of
the legislature, after which time it is
election. The earliest possible time
that his election could be held would
be the election in the fall~of 1915, as
the two Intervening legislative assem-
blies are in 1918 and 1915. The North
Dakota Votes for Women league was
organized last summer, and it's growth
since that time has been very satiSfac-
tory to the officers.

platform to get a breath of the clear
morning air of North Dakota.
Police Magistrate Miller was also at
the depot, not to see the special train
go through or to greet the ladies, but
t go fishing.
One of the ladies approached the
Judge, for he is venerable in appear
ance, and pointing to the great cannon
that stands III the diminutive yet pref
ty park to the east Of the station,
wanted to know what they had that
cannon there for?"
The Judge thought the lady, who
was young and vivacious, was kid
ding him" and so he lookel very sol
emn and remarked:
my dear madam, you doubtless
know that this is North Dakota and a
prohibition state, while right across
the river is the state Of Minnesota,
which has many saloons. In order to
protect ourselves from invasion of
bootleggers and the liquor traffic we
have secured this great firearmy and
have trained it on the town Of Moor

The lady made some notes in a
small book she carried and told the
magistrate that she would mention
this when she got back home, and the
train pulled out,
