HOW TO APPLY A TIRE.
Always Remove Rust and All Other
Foreign Matter.

Always Remove Rust and All Other
Foreign Matter.
Before applying tires remove rust
and all other foreign matter. II the
tire has been ridden debated at any
time, mud may have accumulated on
the rim and unless this Is removed
the tire cannot adjust itself properly.
Soapstone busted on the rim will act
as a lubricant and make it much easier
for the tire beads to slip into their 0
rect position, thereby reducing the
danger Of pinching the inner tube to a
minimum. ~.
Before placing the inner tube inside
Of case initiate just enough to round 1t
out. Do not use a tube Of the wrong
size and be sure that the spreader Of
the valve is adapted for the particular
type of case, whether regular, clineh-
er, quick detachable clincher or @. d.
cable base. Dust tube and inside Of
a with tale, which will reduce the
friction and prevent adhesion of the
tube to case after heated In service.
IL too much tale Is used, however,
and any water should work its way on
the inside Of the tire, there is danger
Of grit and attending injury to the
tube. Powdered graphite is not quite
so nice to handle as tale, but is q
much more durable lubricant.

ORIGIN OF BLACKMAIL.

The Term Was Born of outIawry on
the Scottish Border.
The etymology of the expression
"blackmail' is. historically interesting.
1t appears to have it's origin on the
Scottish border and dating from times
when frequent political feuds between
the then two kingdoms Of the British
islands tacitly justified a sort of per-
ennial terrestrial buccaneering as be-
tween borderers of each realm.
Many Of these were outlaws on both
sides Of the border. Their neighbor-
ing victims to save their cattle from
being lifted sometimes compounded for
safety by an annual payment as insur-
ance to the bandits. This fee not only
gave them immunity, but entailed
them to protect them from rival free
hooters. 1t was their "mail," or "pro-
lection" The mail" coach was so
named because it had it's armed guard
with loaded blunderbuss On the dickey.
But the mail paid by border farmers
was not for honest royal protection,
but for guardianship by thieves, and
hence was ''black'' mail, the color of
black being typical Of what was nefa-
rious, whether in art or in guardian
ship, while the guardian Of this stamp
was known as the 'blackguard" Of the
district. The last named latter day
term of reproach seems to have OBJ
tanned it's expression originally as here

DICKINSON NEEDS d
Baseball TEAM-B00sT IT

"A subscription list is being circulated
to secure funds for a ball team to repre-
sent the town. We can shake hands
with ourselves that we have several
live baseball fans with us still, aud
that we have a few good players who
are willing to give their time and en-
ergy so that Dickinson can still be re-
presented in this line Of sport. We
have the making Of a mighty good ball
team this year if sufficient funds can be
secured with which to get a first class
battery. Our fellows knock out hits
enough to win any game but for the past
two or three years our pitching end has
been weak. Clint Davis, has been our
faithful all-around player. He has been
the man, regardless Of his turn or con-
dition, to pitch game after game. the
regular iron man. He's been the man
to 60 in from first base and act as a re-
lief pitcher, taking q game lost by some
other pitcher. If ever Dickinson has
had a faithful player he,ssbeen one.
John Robinson, who has. played two
years with us is willing TORY once
more. His ability is known all over
those parts. He is as fast as the fast
est. a good fielder, playing any where
in the infield outield and take it
from us he can hit 'em some. Then
we have Johns little brother Fred, who
also is some streak. When Fred comes
to bat you can just count on his making
first. Fast is his name for he is just
as fast with his hands as he is with his
feet. l.. Kroneshnable is again willing
to pull off the sensational stunts in the
field. He will also be there with bat
to help lose the ball. Stanley Grub has
his baseball grin with him still so it
is a certainty that he'll be there. Well
we don't want to forget the fence bust
ers with the name of McCutchan. Bill
is here now waiting for the season to
start. Vernon McCutchan is getting
in shape at the University where he
received his letter in baseball Eednes-
day night. This is a mighty good start
but every fellow that has any ability at
all should get out and try. We want a
good fast team so that we can take on
any team from anywhere. =
In order to have a good team and to
have good games we've got to back the
fellows up. They love the game and
like to play but they must have our
support, they can't keep the game
going with the wind that comes through
the holes in the fence. So when the
list comes around-well you know what
to do.

ALFALFA SEED PRODUCTION

The climate of the Dakotas gener-
ally will be favorable to the produc-
ton of alfalfa seed Where alfalfa
can be grown, seed production seems
to be more a matter Of climate than
Of soil. Alfalfa sets seed most
abundantly under rather dry condi.
tons. If alfalfa is very rank, and
supplied with. an abundance of mois-
ture, or If the atmosphere is moist,
the flowers do not seem to become.
fortified and but little seed results.
Our knowledge Of seed production
in the Dakotas at the present time is
very limited and no very definite
statements can be made, although 1t
seems that alfalfa will produce the
maximum amount Of seed when grown
In cultivated rows. At Dickinson, N.
D., the second growth seems to pro-
duce seed more abundantly. When
the stands + very thin, 80 that each
plant may develop individually, and
especially: where some cultivation is
given, then the first growth may set

bushels Of seed per acre was secured
at the Dickinson station in 1909 from
alfalfa grown in cultivated rows.
There are q fewscases in North Da-
keta where alfalfa has produced good
yields of seed, grown under field con-
ditions.---L r. Waldron, superintelld-

Marry and Part For a Year.

Among the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people of: Central
America is that of parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized. This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There is no courtship allowed to
belcarried IN between the parties prior
to the wedding. When a man selects
a woman he obtains the consent Of the
parents on both sides, and If this is
given they are at once married. The
reason, however, for their not living
together as man and wife for one year
after marriage is in order to permit Of
the parties visiting and staying with
their respective friends in different
parts Of the country, which is a GUS
tomary thing and occupies the time
specified. N~inety-nine out Of a hun.
dred Of these marriages turn out well.

NAMED BY MISTAKE.
That Is What Happened to Three OF
vermont's Towns.

That Is What Happened to Three Of
Vermont's Towns. .
1t is not often that a town is named
by mistake, but about 100 years ago
this thing happened-not to one town,
but to three towns in Vermont. At
that time a grant of land was made by
New Hampshire to some Connecticut
settlers. This tract then, as now, was
divided into three notwithstanding
ton, on the hillside of Lake Cham.
plain; Colchester, just north, and VIII
~iston, east. The three towns were
chartered on the same day, and it was
at this time that the names were
mixed. 4
The Burling family took up their
land in the, north section (Colchester),
and it seems to be true that their name
was to have been given the town, go
that it.should have been called Bur.
lington. Other settlers took up the
eastern portion (Williston), and the
rest remained in the part by the lake
~(Burlington). Among these last was
the Willis family, and there is evidence
that they expected to call the city Will
liston. However, there was SO much
confusion in the entering Of the rec
ords that the town where the Burlings
settled was called Colchester, the town
of the Willis family was named Bur-
lington, while the town to the east was
called Williston. And so they have
remained to this day.-Ladies' Home

WAYS of Burmese Beauties.

Instead of a coming out party as we
know it, the Burmese girls entrance
into society begins when she has her
ears pierced. As soon after this as she
feels inclined she selects a husband
and goes to live in a home Of her own.
The home is provided by the man, but
1T becomes his wife's as Don as they
are married. All women, young and
old, are addicted to the use Of tobacco.
The women seem to prefer the very
large size black cigar. Often one meets
q woman on the streets Of a village
with one Of these huge cigars in her
mouth and two or three more stuck in
the holes OF each ear.

YOUR FALL FRoCIK.
How to Do the Smart and Fashionable
Bead Work.

Bead Work.
The new fall blouses and gowns are
profusely decorated with beads. Now
Is the time for the deft fingered girl
to enhance her costumes with bead
decoration. AS most beadwork Is done
by hand, it would be expensive to buy
bead trimmed clothes. as handwork is
always costly.
Beaded motifs and ornaments, bead
fringes and bead tassels will all be
prominent, with the colors ranging
from the subdued tones to the bright
est known shades and combinations.
Orange, yellow, bright green. purple,
blue and red r used in combination
on a background Of black, navy OF
white net. Light colors will also be used
for evening gowns, such as white, pale
blue, pink, lavender, ETC., with gold
and silver bugles, seed beads and satin
beads.
7. White china and satin beads are
used on black net and chiffon. with
white or black embroidery and vice
versa. Jet beads and bugles are used
with white satin beads and white and
black embroidery on white chiffon or
net. New chiffons and nets have a
printed design in contrasting colors,
which are brought out by an outline of
rcolored, gold or. china beads or by col
-aored silk or metal threads. In these
designs oriental patterns are much used.
For the simple touches Of scroll de.
sign used on Jokes. sleeves and tunics
sthe beads should be strung on a thread,
fashioned into some graceful design
and sewed to the gown or other article
of wearing apparel. The pattern In
silver, jet or colored beads.
Plain bands and beaded girdles are
made by stringing the beads on firm
linen thread. These strings Of various
scolored beads are then couched down
upon the net form bands and medal
lions. You must design as you go
:along when making this kind Of bead.
work, as it is impossible to have work
ing patterns for it.
When following a design that Is to
'be crocheted, insert the needle through
the. stitch, push the bead close to the
edge OF the work farthest, from you,
draw the thread through the loop on
to the hook, leaving the bead on the
other side, which, when finished. will
be the right side Of the. work.
Fans are touched up with beads;
there r beads 81 slippers, stockings,
purses, neckwear and hair ornaments.

'beadwork, for a small price you may
buy a loom which you could easily
learn to manipulate.
