MISSIONARY PLANS
ARE OUTLINED
Evangelists Plan Extensive Work In
This County-Now Holding Re-
viVals
vivals

Rev. and Mrs. M. B. Hazeltine, who
since their recent appointment by
the Methodist conference to mission
ary work in this county claim James
town as their home, are in the city
for few days. rest after holding
revival at Ludden and before leaving
for Vashti where they will hold
series of revival services for two
weeks commencing Thursday or Fri
day of this week. Until spring they
will spend their time in general evan
gelistic work, but after that time
will concentrate their efforts to he
building up of new charges in Stuts-
man county.
The new Methodist church at
Vashti is still too incomplete to be
used for the revival and it is expected
that it will be held in a nearby
school house. Although many build
ings are being planned for the coming
summer and the location of Vashti
is the center of thriving communi-
ty, the church holds the distinction
of being the first building actually
begun.
In the spring Mr.. and Mrs. Hazel
tine will start on their work of form
ing chain of new Methodist charges
from Spiritwood to Cleveland along
curve through the southern part
Of the county. They expect to begin
in the vicinity of Montpelier and
| work around the curve to the west
until Cleveland is reached. AS many
school house charges will be opened
| as possible along this route and then
| the missionaries will close the gap
between Montpelier and. Spiritwood
1t is now thought proba BILE that sew
eral charges near the ends of the
curve will be given to the pastors al
Cleveland and Spiritwood and that
one or more new ministers will be as
signed to those nearer the center.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 3O.-Sen-
ator McCumber and other members
of the North Dakota delegation Will
make a determined fight to prevent
the abandonment of Fort Lincoln
recommended in the report OF the
secretary of war.
"The location is one of the best
in the country, the climatic condl-
tions are unexcelled and troops re-
turning from the tropics can be sent
to Fort Lincoln to recuperate. The
location is ideal for this purpose.
Wide stretches of country make the
post very valuable for cavalry evoiu-
tions and general maneuvers.
"The abandonment of the post
would mean a total loss to the gov
ernment of a large investment. The
post is within forty-eight- hours by
rail of any part of the country and
on three transcontinental railroad
lines"

Colon Bacilll Found.

Rockyille.-City Health Officer John E. FIamerty. who sent sample of the water from Snlpsic Lake to State Chemist James A. Newlands Of the la boratory Of the State board of health at Middletown. has received a report on the analysis The sample was sent by the health officer in response to some complaints regarding the odor and taste Of the water The general conclusions of the state chemist are as follows: "The sample is low in mineral content and Is soft. The fig ures for organic constituents are not high for a surface water and the chlo- rine is about normal. The water has noticeable color and a grassy odor due to harmless fresh water algae groWths in the lake. The number of bacteria is rather high. and bacteria of the colon type were found Good surface waters sometimes show colon bacill after heavy rains due 10 more or less harmless washings from pas tufe lands but l would suggest that another sample be submitted from this source fin order to determine whether the supply continues to show these re suits"

The estate of Lord Fairfax-you re- member the Fairfaxes of Virginia of course-which lies just south of and bordering on Mount Vernon. has been purchased by the District of Coium bia for reformation purposes. The Dis triet paid $33 900 for a tract of 1.500 acres. or about $22 an acre. for land of the first historic importance in the country. However, the people who own Belvoir. the name Of the Fairfax estate. through the Virginia mem bers of congress. got busy and immediate ly procured legislation through con gress forbidding any institution of penal or reformatory character being allowed within 10 miles of Mount Yer non. and SO the District commission CTS have 300 acres of land on their out $50 GOO It Is now suggested That a cavalry school for the army be es- tablished there
 Senator Martin and Representative Carlin recently introduced into con gress bills to repay the District the money appropriated and to transfer the land to the army for a cavalry school

On Savlno.

Tn times past we have sort of lifted ourself up scornfully and hooted at MT. Carnegie and MT Rockefeller when they advised us to save our money. We even refused to be im- pressed by the statement that "A pen ny saved is penny earned and pen ny spent is a penny burned.
 But We have had a change of heart We have done some simple figuring and have convinced ourself that We ought to have gone to saving years ago.
 Many of us think we have to start saving with a dollar or more. As matter of fact, we could start with penny. One little red penny, ofttimes sauandered for chewing gum or even spent in order to obtain the latest statements of the eminent baseball ists. pugilists and other winter orna- ments of the stage in the Double X edition of this newspaper-that little red penny, if invested at five per cent. compound interest, would amount in 100 years to $137.
 Leaving this in the bank, at the end of that century, and restraining the natural impulse to take the dollar thirty-seyen and go out and give it to checkroom boys, porters and chauf- feurs-leaving 1t right out at inter- est for another 100 years compound ing 1t at five per cent, We would have $172.e3.
 By that time the habit of saving would have fastened itself upon us. and 1t would not be such wrench to allow the principal and accrued tn- terest to go on working for us, so at the end of ,000 years that little red penny would have grown to the sum of fifteen quadrillion, four hundred and sixty-three quadrillions of dollars.
 We wish some one had put penny out at interest for us in the year l.

CURTAINS FOR WARM MONTHS
Scrim or Linen In Coarse Wave May Be Effectively Decorated at
 Small Expense.

Nothing Is more suitable for the warm weather curtains than scrfm or even linen in a coarse weave. and If this Is bought in plain color lovely sets for doors and windows can be made with the addition of little sten cling, says the Pittsburgh Sun.
 This work Is constantly growing in popularity, and new and more artistic designs are being shown in the shops
 It Is not a difficult matter to stencil any material if care is used, and this is infinitely quicker and easier to do.
 Any design may be traced or drawn on the stencil board. which can be bought at any art store for 10 or 15 cents, and this should be carefully cut out with a sharp knife.
 To make clear. distinct stencil. a large piece of plotting paper should be placed beneath the material to be dec orated and this will absorb the super fluous moisture.
 This Is an easy and pretty method of preserving a harmonious color scheme in a room, for the paints may be mixed to make any color or tint, while the bought drapery might be slightly off in color and just enough to clash with the rest of the room.

Few Old Maids in Philippines.

Although Filipino women do not usually marry early. grandmothers at 30 are not uncommon. Such as do not marry, and these are very few. generally retire from the world to the seclusion of convent or beaterio in some capacity or another, and conse- quently the old maid of Europe and the United States Is practically un- known
 The Ftlipinos as rule make good wives and tender mothers. and are very devoted to their husbands and children. The mother-in-law Is also a rara avis. No Filipino would brook any interference between herself and her husband.

 At the top an ordinary small key ring Is sewn on, by which the tidy may be suspended from a nail in the wall, and the base Is ornamented with a silk tassel. Inside, at the extreme point of the tidy, there Is a small ball of cotton wool to receive the points of the pins.
