ALASKA is THE
SPINSTER,S PARADISE

The woman who is anxious to
marry should gotu Alaska, for there
her chances OF finding n husband are
probably better than anywhere else
on earth. In Alaska there three
men to one woman, and the fact that
most of the women are natives
greatly increases the matrimonial
opportunities for white spnsters.
There are many other places where
men outnumber women, but in none
of them is the masculine majority so
great as IN Alaska.
According to the statisticians only
two continents-Europe aud Africa
have more womeA than men. La the
United States there are. 3, 100000
more men than women. If every
man and woman in the country
were mated, the nsmber OF men who
would still = main bachelors would
more than equal the entire popuIa-
ton.
In the whole world, il is estimated
that the excess OF men over women
is 100000. As 100000 of this
excess are found in the United States,
and, as both Asia and Australia
have more men than women, the
shortage OF men lalls upon Europe
and Africa. In Europe, the division
of the sexes approaches equality
mors closely than anywhere else,
there'being 1927 women to each
1 900 sen For every CSC haales
in the world there are |, 900 men,
according to the latest estimates,
which place the earth's population
at 1,1OO,O0O,OOO.
The ratio in America is 964 women
to each 1000 men. There is more
marked shortage of women in the
western sections of the United States
and Canada, while in New England
and other localities the sexes are al
most equally divided.

BACK-WOODS SCHOOL
HOUSE FIFTY YEARS
AGON KNOXCOUNTY

When ives only twelve years old,
fifty years ago, | remember those
old school houses, they were built of
small round poles a daubed with
moss and mud and covered with
boards weighted down with poles
and rocks. There was no floors in
the house, but we would build the
fire in the center OF the house.
Some Of US had to 60 5 miles or
more to school with a path trimm-
ed out through the timber and
bushes. and along this path laid
the copperhead and RATHER.
Those little schools was unly 3
months in the fall. As to books,
we had the Blue Back speller, the
McGuffey's Reader and Rays Arith.
metic. These books we had to
learn, or there was a beech limb
right at the place and the best of
all, we were taught the best of
both at school and at home. 1t
was not howdy, uncle Bom, or old
Jerry, but it was howdy, Mr.. Tom
and Mr.. Jerry. and when we came
to the table, we thanked our father,
and mother for everything that was
put on ovr plate and we did not'
hollow it out either.
would love to lecture on good
manners and laws of health, and
let you say If we learned anything
in those cabin school houses or not.
What about the smartest men we
even read about being dead pne-
hundred years ago or more. You
see there have been smart men all
along down the line.
Another thing, there were church
once every month in these little
school houses, and everybody at
tended and there were no going out
and in, neither shutting around, but
everybody quiet and attentive.
One more thing. we had all the
good things to eat that heart could |
wish for and plenty to throw away |
the year aroun. There were no
person in want nj those good old
days. The mountains were full of
wild hogs, wild turkeys and deer,
and corn 12lscts per bushel. You
may talk about your good times,
it has donr passed fifty years ago.
l shall not write any more on
those good old times. 1t disturbs
my sleep, to think back to that
time and look around now.
Yours,

STOCKMEN SHOULD ATTEND

A matter of considerable interest
to the stock shippers of the state,
more particularly in the western part
of it, will be the hearing before Ex-
aminer Dow Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Bismarck Octo-
Der 21st. The hearing will be held
at the federal building at 2 D. m.
Some time since the railroads of
the west gave notice of an intention
on a near date that they would with
draw the privilege heretofore grant
ed shippers Of live stock to load and
unload at one or more places until
the shipment was complete or de-
ivered. On representations being
made to the state railroad commits
sion that the abrogation of this privi-
ledge would work a hardship to stock
shippers, the commission asked the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
suspend the proposed rule until the
shippers could be heard, and this re-
quest was granted and a hearing set
before the national commission late
in November. Other states have also
taken up this matter and as a conse-
quence Examiner Dow has been sent
out to hold local hearings.
It is hoped all stockmen affected by
the proposed change in the rules will
attend the Bismarck hearing, as it is
incumbent upon them to prove their
case. {

RASPBERRY FIELD IN DUNN

News:-Joe Brew seems to be the
champion fruit grower of Dunn
county, at least he has on exhibition
something very seldom, if ever, seen
in this locality before. Last spring he
set out about 600 small red raspberry
plants and in order to keep them
from bearing fruit the first season
he clipped all blossoms off since the
first Of July, in order to strengthen
the plant for next seasons growth.
When he visited the patch one day
last week he found that practically
all of the plants had blossomed again
and were literally loaded down with
over-ripe fruit. Had he noticed them
a little sooner he would have had
quite a quantity of berries for use-
This seems a little unusual, but it's a
fact, nevertheless. With the 600
plants Joe thinks he will have some
berries for market next season.

A SURE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching Scalp
AT Once.

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain.
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need, apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips
BY morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve, and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it. no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy. silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better.
II you value your hair. you should
get rid of dandruff at once. for moth
ing destroys the hair SO quickly. 1t
not only starves the hair and makes it
fall out, but 1t makes it stringy, strag-
gly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless. and
everybody notices it.-Adv.
