WOMEN WHO DO THINGS.

One of the splendid things Of
modern times is the interest that the
intelligent women of the nation are
taking in all Of civic affairs.
The tremendous progress that has
been mad in temperance reform, the
aroused sentiment for pure food, for
hygienic and sex reforms and the
interest in various other great ma
tional problems is due in very large
measure to wOmen-organized.
North Dakota occupies a proud
position in the nation. 1t is one Of
the states that has shown that the
liquor traffic can be prohibited. 1t
has peer one of the pioneer states in
pure food reform. Its larger cities
are learning that they can handle the
social vice problem. In every one of
these reform movements, the Womcn
Of the state have done a great deal
by their cooperation or initiative.
The Forum has called attention be-
fore to the high character of the
citizenship of the state. Nowhere is
this more in evidence han in the
gathering of women in this city at
the present time in attendance at the
State Federation of Women's clubs.
They have shown that they have high
ideals, and. what is of more import
ance, that they have the ability to put
these ideals into practice.
North Dakota has it's big problems.
n Of the most important of which
is the development Of social life in
tho rural districts. The problem is
looming large on the horizon of the
immediate future and the states
educators, those interested in develop
ing the state through the better farm
ing movement and other agencies are
planning on concentrating their efforts
on this problem. Undoubtedly, however,
it will devolvc largely on the women
TO find the successful solution.
Fargo is a hospitable city. 1t gives
q hearty welcome to every gathering
within it's borders n it goes with
GU, saying hat the citizens of the
Cit are delighted to have the club
women OF the state as their guests.

Clad in Skins
Comes Out of Forest;
Lived as Wild Man

Many readers Of The Forum are in
terested in the story Of Knowles, the
artist who went into the woods of
Maine, just as nature made him, to
live two months, to prove that modern
civilized man could cope with nature
as well as the men of the stone age.
The following account of Knowles
return from the woods was furnished
The Forum by w. r. Freeman of Far
go, and is taken from The Indepen-
dent-Reporter Of SkoWhegan, Me-, Mr..
Freeman's home paper:
Joseph Knowles, the Boston artist,
came out of the woods at 4 o'clociI
Saturday afternoon, at a point four
teen miles south of Megantic, Quebec,
on the railroad rack of the Canadian
Pacific.
Clad in rudely dressed skins Of
black bear and deer, carrying in a
pack on his back his precious fire ma
chine and other Of the forest made
tools he fashioned to aid him in his
two months fight for existence in the
forests of Maine, Knowles stepped into
the twentieth century a replica Of
what the cave mar must have looked
like when the world was young.
Thus ended a test Of hardihood and
endurance, Of skill in conquering a
hostile environment. of woodcraft.
that rose superior to the mightiest Of
h~andicaps-a feat so novel. SO start
ling, that all over the world people
have been waiting for the issue.
On Aug. 4 Knowles plunged into the
forests neal Spencer Lake, in Somer-
set county, Me. He was naked. He
had no weapons, no tools or imple-
ments Of any kind, no food. He prom
Used to come put of the woods on Oct.
4, fully clad, and in good health and
physical condition. He has kept his
promise in every detail.
Knowles is in good physical condi-
ton, despite the fact that his final
week in the forest involved a test Of
endurance that was completely unfore-
seen, and equally unnecessary. In his
dread that the game wardens of Som
erset county might seek him out in his
forest lair and bring his struggles to
naught by arresting him for a breach
of the game laws, he left his domaini
near Spencer Lake n struck III
across the untracked wilderness, sew
enty miles, for the boundary noun
tains of Canada, overlooking Lake
Megantic.
With his rude pack on his back. clad
in the skins of wild animals his skill
had won to his uses, in constant dan
ger of being the target of some sports
mans rifle, he traversed seventy miles
of the widest and most in~hospitable
country in the state Of Maine. .
He has lost thirty pounds of weight
in the two months, dropping from 204
pounds to TIA. His appearance clear
ly tells the tale of his hardships he
has undergone. From head to heel

OUCH! BACKACHE,

TRIAL BOTTLE OF OLD
"sT. JACOBS OIL.

When your back is sore and lame,
lumbago. sciatiea or rheumatism
has you stiffened up, don't suffer! Get
a small trial bottle Of old, honest "St.
Jacobs Or at any drug store, pour a
little in your hand and rub it on your
back, and by the time you count fifty,
the soreness and lameness is gone:
Don't stay crippled! This soothing,
penetrating oil needs to be used only
once. Tt takes the ache and pain right
out and ends the misery. 1t is magical,
yet absolutely harmless and doesn't
burn or discolor the skin.
Nothing else stops lumbago, sciatica
and lame back misery so promptly and

"THE LAWS DELAY" AGAIN.

The arrest of two or more men
charged with completely in the Nc
Namara dynamiting campaign is
interesting in more ways than one.
1t denotes a downright bulldog tena-
city in the officials who got on the
'ralI If the most desperate band of
criminals ever operating in the Unit
ed States.
1t suggests. also, that the sleuths
who run down accused or suspected
men are a great deal more effective
where results are concerned than the
courts which pass upon the cases Of
the captured men, after they have
been delivered for trial.
The public has nearly forgotten
those wholesale convictions which
We're announced in Indianapolis last
December, as a result Of the trial #
the dynamiters; it has doubtless for
gott-n, too, that the convicted men
were released from the penitentiary,
upon the granting of an appeal in
their cases.
II every appealed case had to wait
as long as the Indianapolis cases have
waited. there would be a well-based
wonder as to the methods of the SUI
preme court. There may be technical
or other better reasons why the result
of the indianapolis trials has not been
definitely decided. But it is an odd
commentary upon the efficiency of the
legal machine that Mr.. Burns and his
men are completing the last detail of
their work before the courts have
been able to decide the cases Of men
who were tried and convicted a year
ago, and who were at liberty soon
after their incarceration.

Avoid sedative Couch Medicines.

If you want TO contribute directly to
the occurrance Of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain iodine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have a.
cough or cold. An eXpectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what
is needed. That cleans out the cuI-
ture beds or breeding places for the
germs Of pneumonia and other germ
diseases. That is why pneumonia never
results from a cold when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is used. 1t has

tive. For sale by all dealers.-Advt,

Farm Stock and Home: Potatoes
should be dug when mature, when the
vines die. To leave potatoes in the
ground after growth has ceased is to
injure the crop, especially if the
ground is wet. A potato will become
water soaked and soggy if left in the
ground too long. Early potatoes should
be dug early. The late maturing vari-
cites may be left in the ground as long.
as they are harvested before too great
danger of freezing. Potatoes left in
the ground after Oct. 10, are in danger
Of being frozen. The aim should be to
have the crop out the first week in
October. Potatoes will cure in the pit
or cellar with less danger than in the
ground after Oct. /.

Grand Forks Times: Apples are
selling at Grand Forks at 40, SO and
60 cents a peck, and at proportionate
prices per bushel. These prices are
for fruit from the states of the GEN.
trail west, a number of shipments
having been received from Wisconsin,
for instance. Grand Forks people
who have friends in the states from
which many apples come are being
told in letters from their friends, and
occasionally learning by personal WIS.,
It's, that apples in those very states
are rotting on the ground, because the
growers cannot get enough for them
to pay for the labor of harvesting.
Apples 40 cents a peck in Grand
Forks. Apples rotting on the ground
in Wisconsin. What's the matter?
and over again with reference to-
many kinds of produce. The consum-
er pays a big price, while the produce
er gets little or nothing. Economists
all over the country are aware Of SUCH
conditions and they are trying to find
a reason and a means to overcome
these conditions. The present con-
ditions are abominable. The high
price of fruit is of no avail to the
grower if he a sell only a part of
his crop for cost or at a profit. Tt
would not be of any advantage to the
wheat grower in North Dakota lie
wheat were So a bushel in Minneapo-
lis IL the price paid him was so low
that he could not afford to cut he

lack Of proper marketing conditions,
to combinations of various kinds,
