FRESH AIR AND HOW TO USE IT

This book. by Dr.. Darlington, is pub
lished by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis and it is a part of its campaign
for the prevention of disease. 1t sells
for the small sum of $1.O0 and is we'll
worth that in any home.
Probably no more complete con,pen-
dunn of information on how to get
fresh air in the home at all times has
ever been published.
The aim of the book is not primarily
to suggest methods of treating disease
in the open air. 1t is rather a handbook
for everyone who wishes to ward off
disease in his own body and in those
of the other members of his family.
DR.. Carrington's method of treating
the subject is practical. He aims to be
so concise that anyone may be able to
follow out his instructions in securing
OF making the devices of which he
speaks. Some of the topics which he
discusses are window tents, home made
and manufactured roof bungalows,
with suggestions for building tempo
rary fresh air porches for country use ;
wall houses and iron frame porches for
city use tents and tent houses open
air bungalows and COTTAGES; roof play
grounds for children; and clothing.
bedding and furniture necessary for out
door living and sleeping. The book
contains $50 illustrations. including
floor plan and working drawings. 1t

MME. lABADlE A WONDER
WHAT ONE CRITIC SAYS

Merely as an entertainment Nine.
Labadie gave her audience a genuine
and memorable treat, while as an ar
tistic exposition of the possibilities of
dramatic reading it amounted to a verb
table triumph.
THE elements of Nine Labadie's arts
are somewhat difficult to analyze. She
does more than create a stage allusion;
she presents real living characters.
Just how she does it it is hard to say.
In ordinary evening dress. without the
assistance of effects of any kind. and
without at any time moving a dozen
steps from. the center of the stage. she
yet succeeds in. placing before her hear
ers the separate and widely varying fig
ures of the play. And these characters
are all distinct and sharply defined.
By the incubation of All exquisite
voice. by subtricks Of expression, by an
indefinable something which amounts
scarcely TO more than. suggestion. the
effect is produced. and the audience
sees and recognizes the characters
which she herself perfectly visualizes.

sisting Of instrumental and vocal selec-

Whom 1t May Concern: I have sent
letters to every states attorney and

Farmers want relief from the drunken
ness. %carousing and fights incident to
harvest where liquor is plenty, and
business men want the money on long
standing bills. If these joints are al

support of an application for reduction.
you will submit the same with your re-
commentator in the premises; other
wise the application will be by you
rejected subject to the usual right OF ap-

the Secretary of the Interior, who may
in appropriate cases defer action until

DUNN COUNTY COURT
JUDGE NICHOLS PREsIDEs

A number of our attorneys were at
tending district court at Manning this
week where Judge Nuchols of Mandan
was presiding for Judge Crawford.
There were a few important cases on
the calender most of which will be
cleaned up at this term.
One of the first cases on the docket
was the Easton-Brew case. It will BE
remembered that Harry Easton was ar
rested OF January 22nd. charged with
shooting n of Dan Brew's horses
which had wandered into bis field.
Easton was under bonds of ST, 600 and
plead guilty to the charge, saying that
he had intended only to frighten the
animal by shooting in the air, when
the gun was accidentally discharged.
The guilty man was given a lecture by
the court and fined S4OO or 100 days in
Jail on failure to pay the fine.
Another case in Dunn county court
this week was that of the state VS. Geo.
A. Lewis. homesteader. living 8 miles
east of Fayette and charged with a sta
tutory' offense. His 12-years' -old
daughter was the complaining witness.
Lewis was convicted on Wednesday and
is awaiting sentence which for this Of
Tense is from one to ten years in the pen
itentiary. T. D. Casey of Dickinson as
sisted States Attorney Nelson in prose-
cutting while w. A. earns was defend
ing attorney.
The case of Hanson vs. Gunwali was
being tried Thursday. This case had
been on the calendar for the past two
years. Hanson is trying to recover
DAMAGES from a prairie fire which ran
over his fern and caused the death of
his wife. this fire supposed to have
been set by Gunwall. L. A. Simpson
and M. L. Mcbride are prosecuting
while H. c. Berry and W. F. Burnett

FOR THREE YEAR PROOF
RULING ON CULTIVATION

Applications for reduction of the re-
quired area OF cultivation under the
three year homestead law of June 9th.
1912 public No. 1877 have been re-
ceived by the local land Office and are
being distributed among the entrymen.
The three year homestead law provides
for a reduction in cultivating.
In order to secure the reduction of the
required area of cultivation. the follow
ing six questions have to be answered
properly on the applications:
Question 1. State fully, by legal SUBJ
divisions. (a) the character of the soil,
(b) the condition of the surface, (c)
whether the land is level or broken. (d)
the kind and amount of timber, or other
growth. if any, and (e) the altitude if
more than /. 900 feet above the level of
the sea.
Question 2. If you have any i'm
provements on the land, describe the
same fully, in amount kind. and value.
Question 3. When did you establish
residence upon the land. and for what
periods. if any. have YOU been absent
therefromsince that date?
Question 4. State the number of
acres. if any. cultivated in each legal
subdivision, kind of crop planted. and
approximate amount harvested, each
year. since date of entry.
Question S. Describe fully the eli
malic conditions, obtaining in the To-
cality of the land. giving the approxi-
mate amount of rainfall and the tenn
perature during the ordinary season of
cultivation.
Question e.. State how many acres
of this entry can be cultivated during
the second year of the entry and how
many acres al be cultivated during the
third year of the entry and until final
proof, and state fully the reasons why a
larger part of the area of the entry can
hot be cultivated in each year respec-
lively.
The following are sections seven
and eight from circular No. 142. of the
three-year old homestead law, in re-
CARDS to the reduction of the required
area of cultivation and will be of much
interest to all homesteaders.
~ The Secretary of the Interior is
authorized: upon a satisfactory show
ing therefor, to reduce the required
area of cultivation. In the admins
tration of this provision it is not be-
lieved that the physical or financial dis
abilities or misfortunes of the entryman
should be the grounds of reduction, but
the sole question should be as to
whether. under the peculiar conditions
governing the tract entered. the exac-
ton of cultivation of this particular
tract by any entryman to the amount
required as reasonable. The actual
special physical and climatic condi-
tions of the land .entered in each case
must therefore determine whether the
required amount of cultivation should
be reduced. 1t is desirable that the
entryman should, wherever practicable.
know in advance what. if any. reduc-
ton a properly be made; and there
fore, as a general regulation governing
applications for reduction in area of
cultivation. it is directed that all en-
trymen who desire a reduction shall
file applications therefor during the
first year of the entry and upon forms
to be prepared and furnished by the
Commissioner of the General Land Office
and distributed through the land offices.
