COUNTY Will
AID MOVEMENT
CAVALIER COUNTY GETS INTO
THE "5ETTER FARMING"
MOVEMENT.

Langdon, N. D., Jan. 26.-The "bet-
ter farming movement, which is to be
so splendidly set before visitors at
the corn and clover convention and
mid winter fair In this city, Feb. 6 to
8, has made splendid Roadway in Cav
alier county. AT a meeting held the
other day al the Office Of w. A. Nc
Intyre in Langdon, steps were taken
to organize what is knOwn as The
Better Farming Association of Cava-
lier County. The county association
win be AFFILIATED with the State Better
Farming association. In its issue yes
terday The Cavalier County Republt-
can Of Langdon has the following com
ment on the work which will be car
ried on in that county:
Cavalier county has been selected by
the state organization as one of the
eight counties in which the demon
stration work Is to be carried on. The
money for the work will be raised
partly by the citizens of the county
and the state will contribute literally
to the work. In fact the state organi-
zation will put in 81 for every 81 rais-
ed in the county. The plan is to raise
a fund of not less than $4,000 in the
| county the first year, and which will
give the county a fund of SIS, 900 for
the years work. The demonstrator
assigned to this county will in all
probability live at Langdon, and will
reach mere about March 1. He will not
conf1ne his efforts to the vicinity OF
Langdon, but will work in every part
Of the county, and merely make this
his headquarters.
We have not the time or space tc
go into detail as to the work to be
carried on, but will take that up in
later issues of this paper. 1t is sufl-
cient to say that the work to be car
ried on is not new. The United States
government has been carrying on the
same work in the southern states FOL
several years, and a great deal ha;
been accomplished in the bringins
about Of increased yields of corn ant
cotton and bringing the farms UP Il
where they should be. Furthermore
this plan is one that has been in vogu,
in Holland for many years, and it hai
been eminently successful. In fact /
is well known that the farmers o
Holland raise more per acre on thei,
land than the farmers Of any othe
country, and much of their success cal
be traced to the work accomplished b,
the plan to be followed here.
The officers Of the organization ar,
as follows:
President, Ole /. Gjerve; vice presi
dents, G. e. Johnson, w. +. Hannum
secretary, w. A. Mcintyre; treasures
j. d. Milne; executive committee, E

rushed to q telephone and called the
police. The officers made a hurry IN
trip to the scene and arrested Likkey
before he was a block away.

The tendency in the healing art is to reduce the use Of drugs
to a minimum and to substitute therefor those natural and common
sense practices o n which is based the remedial aspect Of physical
culture. This change of method is of comparatively recent date,
and is concident with the promotaion Of modern doctrines OF
health making.
Yet there are uncounted thousands of people who still drench
and dope with opates pills, pohons and powders that are usually
useless generally only temrorariaIy effective and not infreuuenty
dangerous. They retain the practices and perpetuate the supersti-
tons of the old and bad order of things medical And owing to the
fact that they refuse to take heed Of the plain hints Of nature and
treatment Of disease. preferring instead to Pour stuff OF which they
know little into bodies Of which they know less. they are NOT many
degrees removed from the old fashioned ignorant classes who tryto
cure the sick by all sorts Of wierd and queer remedies that were
handed down through several generations OF grand mothers.
The principles OF physical culture have perneated medical sci-
ence to an appreciable degree and their influence lis constantly mod

Old Superstitions.

It is only when we begin to investi-
gate the origin of certain old customs
and superstitions that we gain any
real idea of how deeply rooted in
mems minds during the dark and mid
die ages was the fear of the supernatu
raj and particularly of evil spirits. To
this day in certain country the cot
tagers after the Saturday morning
scrubbing take a piece Of chalk and
draw a rough geometrical pattern round
the edge of the threshold stone. This
they do. not knowing that their ances-
tors thought it a sure way of keeping
the devil from entering the house. An
other custom. often noticeable in coun-
try parishes. is the reluctance to bury
the dead on the north side of the
churchyard This is because evil spir-
its were always supposed to Turk on
that side of the church PRECINCTS
