Men who listen to ''the call of the

until w. H. Whitaker. superintendent 6f
the Workhouse, reports to Judge Latimer
of Juvenile Court. that the whippoorwiIls
OF Occoquan's woods have banished the
ciink OF bottles and glasses from the
mind of the Needless, captive spouse.
Judge Latimer has reached this deci-
SION after thorough inspection OF Oc-

Oetore the judge of Juvenile Court A
precedent has grown Up that these men

stilled, and Washington's non-support
husbands appear at the Juvenile Court at
regular intervals.
Confers with Superintendent.
Judge Latimer went TO occoauan Sat
urday with the intention of learning
ever thing possible about the institution.
df pecially desired TO learn whether
SO Ing might not be accomplished TO
rei-.4n the men sent there from his court
In conference with Mr. Whitaker ne
ueoded that these men would be helped
more by sentencing them for one year and
Eeeping them at OccoQuan until their
term Is over or until Mr.. Whitaker re-
ports To him that cure has been ef-
fected.
And Occoquan cures other maladies be-
sides the desire for spurious refrcshment.
1t cures weariness. There men make
brick, crush stone, build roads and build

They learn that to earn the bread they
eat does not greatly impair its taste when
one is hungry.
Provision Made for Families.
While husbands are acquiring new
habits at Occoquan, their wives are paid

Latimer Is of the opinion that this Sc goes
further toward taking care of the needs of
the family than nothing, and that the
return of sound husband is TO a family
better than the return OF a husband
whose only new acquisition is a parole.

about twenty per e n of last year
crop still to turn into cash. and a
good looking new crop is above
ground. The horse country is fine"
Three other bankers and a newspa-
per man heard this. and the three.
being bankers. dared not show their
ignorance. 1t was left to the ews
paper man. who was without shame,
to ask:
what do you mean by the horse
country, I never heard that expression
before with regard to North Dakota?'
Then Mr.. Batcheller smiled and
said: Il mean the older settled part
Of North Dakota where farmers do
their work with horses. I mean it in
contradiction to the tractor coun-
try. The tractor pillow. you know. has
come into North Dakota in great
numbers. Train loads of tractors
have gone out to western North Dako-
Ia. But down in Barnes. Cass and
Ransom counties we are still a horse
country. and probably will continue to
be. We have smaller farms and such
rich. soft soil that we find the horse
the best assistant we can get.
Dairying ia Transforming southeast

said. The dairy COW and the corn field
are common sights now where a few
years g they were few and far be-
tween.
The tractor country is all right"
Mr.. Batcheller said. "but too many
people are thinking Of North Dakota
as a great prairie state of enormous
farms and great breakings. This is
changing. In fact it has changed in
our part Of the state. We are the
dairy farm and corn country of North
Dakota, the bread and butter corner
Of the state"

HIT BY MOTOR
BADLY INJURED
Fargo Man Gets in Path of
Car RI May be
the Result.

Fargo. N. D.. May ga man
whose name Is thought to be Tony
Pentsch was run down and probably
fatally injured by q taxicab driven by
Bert Steele last night. The accident
occurred at Broadway and Front
streets. The victim was removed to
the hospital and had not recovered
consciousness today.
Steele. according to witnesses who
saw the accident. was driving slowly.
The man, with q companion, attempt
ed to cross the street, became confus.
ed and was. caught by the automobile.
Examination at the hospital showed
that the right leg was broken above
the knee and that the victim is suffer-
ing with q fractured skull or q
hemorrhage of the brain.
Steele, who had two women passen-
gers. stopped his machine and hur-
ried the victim to st. Johns hospital
five minutes after the accident. He
then returned to the police station and
gave himself into the custody Of the
officers. The police are inclined to
exonerate him from blame.
Partial identification was made
through a notebook which the victim
carried. He also had q pawn ticket
from the Northwestern Loan agency.
He was dressed like q farm laborer,
ana is believed to be about 81 years
old.

at Fargo.

Fargo, n. D.. May ga man CIV
ing his name as Jack Stale was
brought to the city yesterday by Chief
Of Police Bunker of Casselton and is
at present in the county Jail. He was
picked up in Casselton because Of his
peculiar actions. While he was in jail
he acted queerly. and yesterday asked

admitted that he had been in the In.
sance hospital at Fergus Falls. and
claimed to have escaped from there.
Upon his arrival In the city the au-
thorities notified the hospital at Fer
gus Falls that a man answering to

capped from that institution about two
weeks g was being held here for

CORDITE AS CHEWING GUM,
(Pearson's Weekly

(Pearson's Weekly
One Of the troubles of most Euro
pean armies is that those soldiers who
can get hold of it insist on using that
terrible explosive cordite as If it were
a sort of chewing gum.
Its popularity Is due to the fact that
when chewed in small quantities it has
a stimulating and celebrating effect,
like small doses Of alcohol. It's taste.
too is sweet. cordite being three-ffths
nitroglycerine, an explosive which IL
sugary to the taste.
When chewed in large quantities
cordite becomes more powerful in it's
effects, bringing on a blissful state Of
ecstacy and sometimes making the
victim Of the habit lei visions. But
the real danger Of the habit lies in
the fact that though nitroglycerine
will explode only when given a very
hard blow or touched by an electric
spark. there is always a possibility
that the grinding Of exceptionally hard
teeth might provide the necessary
hard blow. Within the last few years.
at least. three soldiers-two Germans
and n Austrian-have been blown to
bits, the use of cordite Al q chewing
gum being the suspected cause.
