a TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

1t is stated on good authority that
the various temperance organizations
of the state will soon issue a call for
a delegate meeting to be held in the
city Of Minneapolis, probably late in
February for the purpose of deter
mining on a plan of campaign for
both the primaries and the general
election in the fall. The inspiration
for this meeting grown out of the ac-
tion of the Christian Endeavor con-
vention at Los Angeles which after a
preamble pointing out the past fail
sures of the efforts to overthrow the
drink traffic, adopted simple and
direct enrolment blank reading: No
political candidate or party not de-
claring for the destruction of the Ii
quor traffic can have my support or
vote. will do my best to get 9th
ers to sign this enrolment.
The meeting in Minneapolis will be
composed of one delegate from each
individual lodge, union, church, so
ciety, league or other antisaloon or
Prohibition organizations, including
women's clubs, commercial clubs and
organizations of every character that
are interested in the purpose Of the
gathering. 1t is understood that the
call will be signed not only by the
interested organizations but by many
influential business men and women.
There will be no attempt at organic
union. Each organization will retain
its individual identity and continue
1 to work along its specific lines. It is
understood that the purpose of the
gathering will be to unite all the
forces for the same candidates and
i pledge all candidates to work for and
support the measure agreed upon by
the council. There is much enthu.
siasm among the promoters Of the
d project It is confidently predicted
that with such united front the
forces arrayed against the brewery In
terests will score a decided victory ID

the chiefs of the tribe bidding them
to poW-wow on that day.

a few exceptions, assembled at the.

feast of roast turkey and all the
good things that go with it. g

IMPORTANT NEW DISCOVERY

IMPORTANT NEW DISCOVERY
The question Of. Light Heat and
Power is an essential one in the Red
River Valley as we'll as everywhere:
else. The problem seems to have
been solved by the discovery Of a.
method for converting Natural Gas
into liquid form. 1t has been scien-
tifically proven that this product can
be placed on the market at less than
half the cost of any heretofore known
material, such as wood, coal, gasoline
or electricity and will take the place
Of these for any use to which same
can be applied. L. M Olson and 9TH
ers have become interested in the in
PRODUCTION Of, and secured the agen-
cies For the handling and selling of
this liquid, in Marshall and adjoining
counties and will have an outfit at
Warren in the near future for dem
onstrating the different uses to which
|it may be put A sub-agency in each
town will be established for the ac-
commodation of auto drivers and 9TH
er consumers, and it is expected that
in less than years time this product
will be as commonly in useage as is
now gasoline or any of its substi-
tutes. It is odorless. non poisonous
and inexplosive, can be installed in
the city home or. on the farm at like
advantage, and after once installed,
the maintenance will be practically
| nominal. Mr.. Olson and others
who have seen and studied the posi-
bilities of this product say that by
proper application of same, it will

ings Of any thickness or size. The
contents of one tank (similar to a
Presto light tank) at a cost of about
s1.25 will run an automobile for five
hundred miles, or furnish good
street light for six months at the
rate of hours per night. When the
promoters get ready to demonstrate,
sometime during the latter part OF
this month, the public will be invited
to see for themselves.

FARMERS OWN HALF
Half Of Automobiles in Minnesota
Are Owned on the Farms.

The automobile no longer is mo-
nopohzed by the rich city man, that
is, not in Minnesota, for the latest Of
fetal figures give credit ito the farm
er for owning more than half of the.
number of machines licensed in the
state. There are just 1880 farm
crowned machines in Minnesota, ac-
cording to the automobile census of
The Farmer" a st. Paul journal Of
agriculture, or about 256 for each
county. The figures. which were
compiled from the returns in the Of
hse OF the secretary d. show
an increase OF 1876 in the number
Of automobiles licensed between Nov.
j. 1912, and Nov. 1. 1913. over the
number Of previous twelve months
period. The total Number licensed
to Nov. 1. 1918, was 42,664.

A SEWER that DOESN'T SEW:

"a sewer went forth to sew" but
the first thing it knew, it couldn't
sew, not even a ew,-needs water to
mix with the brew During the late
term of court we are informed that it
was necessary to haul water in tanks
and utilize the city fire engine to
keep the toilet rooms in the court
house flushed, while at the hotel
there seemed a shortage Of water in
the same connection, While Cavalier,
N. D., has fair supply Of we'll water
for ordinary uses, when it comes to
the amount necessary to flow sewer
the wells go dry. A second well is
now being dug at the court house.
Cavalier seems to have runup against
it at both ends of its new sewer It
looks as if they need pumping sta
ton at one end and a septic tank at
the other end, and both cost money.
A septic tank alone will cost at least
$4,000. AT present they claim that
SO far as the Tongue river has not
been contaminated, as because OF the
lack of water the sewer has not yet
sewed-just keeps its own secrets so
to speak Pembina Pioneer Express.

Buttermilk Old Beautifier But Good

in addition to massaging, you will be
working in bleach for that dark look
that so often appears about the eyes
1t is an ideal warm weather drink.
If you will discard tea and coffee, and
drink buttermillS instead, your complex
ion will soon become several shades
lighter and you will feel better and
sleep better.
Still another use for buttermilk which
is not beauty hint, but makes for
daintiness: If your lingerie is stained
or darkened by perspiration, soak the
stains in buttermilk for an hour before
washing and they will then easily yield
to soap and water.
When using buttermilk on the face,
do not let it get into the eyes, nor into
tho brows, as it will bleach the latter
and will make the eyes ache.
Buttermilk is about the cheapest
beautifier that you can get, yet if you
nave some of it within reach during
tne Summer days you will have no
need to slowly and painfully bleach off
tan when Fall arrives.

How to Clean.

MAYHEM cleaning polished or parquet
WV flooring or linoleum which has
been beeswaxed, good idea is to
tie large, soft duster around broom,
going over the floor carefully with it
taking up the dust without causing
any to fly about, as one does when US
ing hair broom and sweeping in the
usual way.
This DONE remove duster and in its
place cover the broom with bag made
of flannelet or any material you may
have by you, sewing several thicknesses
over the part to come in contact with
the floor.
The legs of old stockings will do fol-
the padding, or better still, an old piece
Of velvet or plush. Then hold the broom
slantwise, rubbing backward and for
ward all over the floor, thus polishing
the surface without the trouble Of stop
ping.
Occasionally the floor will need I
coat of floor polish, but the method de
scribed above is easy, and one is abl
to get over tho work in a few minute
in perfectly satisfactory manner.

Golden Betty.

To make brown betty with cheese
arrange in deep earthenware dish al
ternate layers of breadcrumbs and thin
ly sliced apples. Season with cinna-
mon, little Glove and brown sugar.
Scatter some finely shaved mild full
cream cheese over each layer of apples
and when the dish is full scatter bread
crumbs over the top and bake thirty
five to forty minutes, placing the dish
in pan of water SO that the pudding
will not burn.

Old Fashioned Souse.

Take pigs feet and head, thoroughly
clean and place in salt water to soak
for twenty -four hours. Then boil until
the bones slip easily from the meat.
Take up and when cool enough to
handle, carefully remove all bones.
Mince or grind through meat chopper,
season with salt, pepper and sage to
suit the taste and press in mold. This
is very nice sliced and placed in vine
gar, or for breakfast sliced and dipped
In batter and fried.

Books of Needles.

The varieties of needle books on sale

per cover. There are dozen sheets,
perhaps, inside the cover, and each is
labeled at the bottom with the sort of
needles it contains. One sheet reads
Embroidery another "Chenille and
Yarn" and Others declare by their lit
tie labels that they hold straw needles
darning needles, upholstery needles and
sharps for ordinary sewing. One sheet
holds little bodkin-which is nothing
more than a ribbon needle, after ALL

-rHE smaller the cut Of meat to bo
roasted, the hotter the oven must
be.
To preserve tho whiteness Of arti-
chokes add lump of sugar to the water
while cooking.
A tablespoonful of vinegar put into
the water when poaching eggs will keep
them from breaking.
When making a rolypoly pudding
after spreading the paste with the jam
sprinkle with layer of fine bread
crumbs before rolling and tying. This
prevents the jam from boiling out.
