theatres in the hub, and has given
warning to the managers that no
plays that treat of vice will be allow
ed. All mayors should take this
stand. Mayor McCaskey in Lancaster
forbade the Clansman some years ago

Plays have much influence on peoples

or loud should be suppressed.

COST OF LIVING MOUNTS STEAD
lily UPWARD.

The cost Of living on June 18th was
approximately GO per cent higher
than the average between 1890 and
1900; mare than three per cent higher
than it was year ago, and nearly Is
per cent higher than it was two years
ago.
The investigation Of retail prices in
forty cities conducted by experts of
the bureau of labor show prices prac-
tically at the same level as last No
vember, when the high records Of the
last quarter century were reached.
Fourteen articles of food were in
vestigated and compared with the av-
erage prices between 1890 and 1900.
Every one of them except sugar
showed marked advance; bacon,
which led in the soaring, went up
1885 per cent.
These figures, which are on file at
the North Dakota Bureau of Publicity
at Grand Forks, also show that only
four food products declined in price
in the past ten years, and Of these
three were agricultural products,
proving that the farmer has done his
share in reducing living costs. Pota-
toes decreased in cost 31.9 per cent;
sugar, 1852 per cent; wheat flour, ~
per cent, and corn meal, 3.9 per cent.
TURING tho last wear nrices If
eleven to fifteen articles Investigated
went up as follows:
Bacon, 1862 per cent; smoked ham,
14.1 per cent; pork chops, 1874 per
cent; fowls, 11.8 per cent; eggs, III
per cent; round steak, l0.l per cent;
sirloin steak, 9.8 per cent; lard, ~

With a silo on every other farm,
land in this vicinity will sell readily
for $50 an acre. Encourage the farm

FARM POULTRY IS
MOST PROFITABLE

A well known Canadian professor at
Ottawa. In reply to the question, why
Is poultry valuable to the farmerY'
gave the following reasons:
Because he ought by this means to
convert great deal Of the waste of his
farm into money In the shape Of eggs
! and chickens for market
Because with intelligent management
hens ought to he all year revenue pro-
ducers, with the exception of perhaps
two months during the melting period.
Because poultry will yield him a
quicker return for his capital invested
than any Of the other departments Of
agriculture.
Because the manure from the poul-
post for use In either vegetable garden
or orchard. The birds themselves. il
allowed to run in plum or apple or
chard, will destroy all injurious insect
life.
Because. while cereals and fruits can
only be successfully grown In certain
sections. poultry can be raised for ia
bic use or layers OF eggs in all parts
OF the country.
Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment in which the farmers wife
and daughters can engage and leave
him free to attend to other depart
ments.
Because II will bring the best return
in the shape Of new laid eggs during
the winter season, when the farmer has
most time on his hands.
Because to start poultry raising on
the farm requires little or no capital.
Under any circumstances. with proper
management. poultry can be made with
little cost a valuable adjunct to the
farm

AT THE TELEPHONE.
How to Make Conversation Over the
Wire a Success.


Wire Success.
First.-Never pick up the receiver un
til the bell stops ringing. In so doing
the bell on your other party'S wire
rings. and he will answer it, which
causes a bahble of voices and much
confusion.
Second.-Do not place your mouth
too close to the mouthpiece. This
causes a vibration and thus prevents
your being heard distinctly.
Third When you call party give
central the district. number and letter
slowly and distinctly.
FOurth.-When you get the party
your question should be, rs this So
and-so:" not who is this?" which Is
neither a pertinent nor a time saving
question.
Fifth.-Speak in as moderate a tone
as you would if the person We're right
beside. To shout also makes vibra-
ton, which is very annoying. and even
a deaf person can hear moderate
tone over the phone.
Sixth.-Don't mention names or tell
all you know over the phone. This is
a very unwise policy, and unless you
have private wire you have no right
to monopolize it indefinitely to the ex-
clusion of those on your wire.

HOW TO CARE FOR
YOUR AUTOMOBILE

10 wash a car properly with soap
first dissolve in a pail of water suffi
cient soap to make good suds. Then
in the washing operation use the suds.
soppng it on from the sponge instead
of rubbing the soap on a wet sponge
or, what is worse, rubbing 1T on the
surface of the car. Before applying
the suds the car should be rinsed thor
oughly with water, using a gentle
stream. This is important, as all par
tices of grit and dirt must be remov'
ed from the surface before applying
the sponge Apply the suds literally
where the parts are dirty; then rinse
off with clear water and fresh
sponge, flowing the water below the
sponge to insure that any grit and dirt
that may be left on the surface are
washed away before the sponge has
chance to pick it up and scratch the
surface After the final sponging the
surface should be dried with a Clean
wet chamois.
method is in order, except that it may
be necessary to use stronger SUES.
Where cars are in use over oily or
muddy roads frequent washing is nee
essary. and this washing should be
done as soon as possible after the car
leaves the road. as when this oil or
mud dries on the car it is very difficult
to remove and will damage the var
nish. it being impossible under certain
oil and mud conditions to remove all
the stains. In this connection it is
important that neither the bonnet nor
radiator is washed while it is hot, as to
do so will dull the luster, running it in
n very short time.
Another point which should be given
attention is that the same sponge
should not he used for washing both
the body and the chassis. Both sponges
should be of the best quality. care be-
ing taken at all times to keep them
clean and in proper condition.

HOW TO IRON A SHIRT.
Plain Directions For Task That
Many Girls Declare Is Hard.

Shirts must be ironed. but every one
mates to do it, Most women will agree
that next to dishwashing this kind OF
ironing is the worst task in the house.
There are three or four shirts every
week. You can send them to the laun
dry, and they generally look we'll when
they come back too. OF course it costs
money. and lots of it. and then the
shirts don't last nearly so long.
Much has been said about the man
who makes two blades of grass grow
where before there WAS one. But how
about woman who can make one
shirt last where before two were need
ed? She deserves honorable mention
at Least. \ woman who will not make
an honest effort to he economical is Il
disgrace to the generation in which she
lives.
II ali women knew how easy it is to
iron shirts the laundlies would have to
close up. The irons must be clean and
hot and the shirt clean and damp. Be
gin on the sleeve. not on the cuff. If
the sleeve is ironed first the garment
will not he mussed over doing the
sleeve later. If YOU iron the cuff be-
fore the sleeve the cuff will get broken
when the sleeve is. ironcd. 1t isn't hard
TO iron the cuff. Just read the direc-
lions on any starch box to learn that
If You cover the cum with Il cloth 1t
will not become scorched so easily.
Next iron the neckband. Then fold
the back of the shirt lengthwise
through the middle and lay it fiat on
the board to iron. If you do this you
won't get wrinkles pressed into the
front. Then iron the front. being care
full to get the front plat, with the but
tonholes in. dry and straight. Lay the
yoke fiat on the board and iron till dry
If a shirt is roned this way even the
grouchiest of men will have no cause
for complaint.

Bees winter better if they have part
honey and part sugarSto live on during

Look out for the weak colonies OF
bees and give them honey from those

winter If you feed the bees strip be
sure it is not too thin or trouble will

parts sugar will be about the right mix

third more. Even novice can put
hives together without trouble, as ma

that all parts fit easily and interchange

Throughout the winter period Of In
activity it is best to keep the bees as
quiet as possible. After providing for
their comfort by properly housing and
sheltering them it is best to let them
severely alone during frosty weather.

This formalin is mixed with water at
the rate of one pound Of formalin to
every forty-fve gallons Of water. IL
the grain is sown Immediately after
treatment considerably more than usu-
al should be sown to the acre. as the
water absorbed causes the grain to
swell.
Sprinkling is one Of the most con-
venient methods of using the formalin
treatment. The seed is placed on a
clean floor or canvas in a pile or layer
several inches thick. 1t is then sprin-
killed. with the formalin solution by
means OF an ordinary sprinkling can

over and over until every kernel Is

placed in pile and covered with
sacks. blankets or tarpaulin for two
