TEACH THE CHILDREN TO BE
 ORDERLY,

Sisters of the Social Corner: As said in my last letter we should be- gin to teach our little ones while quite young to have place for everything and keep their things in their place when not fin use
 Every mother who does not so train her little ones is not only making herself g. great deal of unnecessary trouble and hindrance in the coming years, but is helping to fix an untidy habit fn the life of her children which will follow them through life in their own homes.
 Some mothers will say they have too much to do and cannot attend to seeing if they always put up their things. Dear sisters. it is time well spent to attend to the careful train ing of the children in our homes, even if we have to dispense with many ruff des and much embroideries that we would like to make.
 If Is not so difficult as some may think, if only you begin early enough and keep persistently at it A little watchfuiness and persistent patience and loving encouragement will work wonders if the heart has been open each morning to receive the blessings for the day that the Father is so willing to give.
 When we ask for our daily bread" we must feel that we need not only food, but grace, patience, forbearance and loving kindness. If we have these (and 1t is our own fault If we do not have them, for they are free), 1t will not be a hard task to early teach our lived ones to work for each others good. and thus add to their own hap pt1less as well as that of the whole home circle.
 There were two mothers knew yearg ago each having several chil- dren attending the game school. One mother said to the other, one day. Why is 1t that your children are not reproved in school, or punished while mine are often reprimanded and punished sometfnesT'
 The other mother replied: 'T do not know only about my own children that they seem to try to do as their par ents want them to and when they go to school they know that their par.- ents trust thom to do their best at school and show their respect for their teacher and parents too"
 The second mother said: "I start them for school every morning: I all ways silently pray the dear Lord to restrain them from evil and frotect them from all harm while absent from home; and she trusted Him to dc it and He had never failed" AUNT ESTHER,

WITH THE MOVIES

During the three years in which
Harry Benham, one of the most popu-
lar Mutual movie players, has been
appearing in Thanhouser pictures, he
has created more than three hundred
parts. When it is remembered that
copies of each one of the photoplays
in which he appeared were immediate
ly forwarded to central points, where
they were started upon a tour of hun
dreds of theatres lasting many
months. some idea of the number of
people before whom he has appeared
as a thanhouser favorite may beo b.
tanned.
Mr.. Benham is still young man
not having passed the thirty year
mark. and is as much interested in
outdoor sports as he is in photoplay
acting. He is an athlete of more
than average ability, standing six feet
in height and weighing one hundred
and seventy-fve pounds.
Many letters are received by Presl-
dent C. j. Hite of the Thanhouser
Company asking him to enlighten the

RETIREMENT REGRETTED

The retirement of John Bassett
Moore as councillor for the State
department regardless of whatever
disagreement there may have been, if
any, is to be regretted, on account of
his singular ability in his special line.
There is however all the excuse nee
essary for his resignation in the fact
that teaching is his life work and nat
urally the work he would want to fol-
low.
1t is true however, that there are
great incompatibilities between the
mind of the Administration and that
of Mr.. Moore. This is true regard
less of the fact that the President is
a scholar of renown and no less dis
tinguished than Mr.. Moore. If the
Administration is notable for one
thing above another it is because of
its disregard of precedents in Inter
national policies. For instance there
is the sharp detection from the Ma
tons policy with respect to Latin
American Countries and then the
early decision of the President af
fectng American interests in China as
well as the refusal to recognize Huer-
ia. All of which were contrary to
national customs and no doubt con-
trary to Mr.. Moore's ideas of nation
al propriety.

THE SELF CULTURE CLUB

The Self Culture Club met with
Mrs. w. B. Waller on March 5th.
Twenty-three members and the fol-
lowing visitors were made welcome
by the charming and hospitable host
ess:
DR.. Eva Parks, Mesdames Bailey.
Sullivan, Moore, Martin, Stone and
Moncrief, the latter of whom was en-
rolled on the waiting list.
The subject for the afternoon was
art" Roll calmly Favorite Ma
donna.
The paper: american Artists, as
discussed by some, might prove tire
some, yet as treated by Mrs. J. c..
Young was interesting and instructive
displaying painstaking study and de-
lineation of facts.
The paper: "Six Famous Pictures"
by Mrs. H. A. Sykes, was enjoyed by
all.
Especial mention should be made Of
the paper read by Miss Jean Hatley,
cart, as an Influence. This broad
theme was so we'll discussed and so
much appreciated, that it was voted
to have the paper sent to the Exten-
sion Board.
Miss Hatley also delighted the au-
dience with a piano solo one of her
mothers composition.
After the club adjourned the social
half hour was very nearly prolonged
into the social hour, so much did
those present enjoy each others So
ciety and the delicious two course
luncheon served by the hostess
daughters, Mesdames. Rouse, Will
Waller and Ben Waller.

KILLS DAUGHTER; SHOOTS SELF

LaMoure, N. D., Sept. %. Edward
Lawrence, poolroom keeper here,
shot and killed his step-daughter, Hat
tie Fogt, Sunday morning at his
home. Lawrence then turned his gun
on himself with the intent to take his
own life, firing a bullet through his
temple. He was unsuccessful but
the bullet totally destroyed his eye
sight.
Lawrence is well known charac-
ter in LaMoure and surrounding coun-
try having been a resident Of the
city for about ten years. The trouble
is said to have arisen through jeal-
ousy on the part Of Jones Of his step
daughter, who was girl OF noted
beauty in the town. The girl was
found with four wounds, two having
pierced her heart and two entering
her back.
Miss Fogt was % years old while
Lawrence is over ten years older. He
did not approve Of her fiancee and
evidently brooded over the engage
ment with the result that his mind be-
came unbalanced On the subject. At
present he is confined in the county
Jail awaiting hearing. There is
little doubt but that he will recover
from his self-indicted wound, though
his eyesight is gone.

.HESS|AN FLY EGGS
FOUND NEAR M|NOT
c. N. AINSLEE, ENTYMOLOGIST
FOR THE u. S. DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE, FINDS
EGGS IN NEARLY EVERY
FIELD VISITED.

C. N. Ainslie, Entynologist for the
u. S. Department of Agriculture, who
is spending the week in the vicinity of
Minot, has found Hessian fly eggs in
nearly every field he visited. He
spent Wednesday north and east OF
Surrey and has gone out in another
direction.
He found Hessian fly eggs that were
laid on volunteer wheat but on account
of the wind could not secure any OF
the flies, that keep close to the
ground He was able to see the eggs
with a strong microscope. Prof. Aims
lee offers no remedy at this time.
The fly lays the eggs on the plant
With ideal weather, in six or seven
days the eggs are Matched into a lar
va or worm that works it's way into
the root of the plant. 1t grows up
with the plant and attacks both the
root and the stem. In some instances
it is questionable whether the worms
crawl down the plant or eat their way
into the stem. Later the worm forms
into the chrysalis or fax-seed stage
when it is ready to be transformed in
to the Hessian fly.
In Iowa whole fields of wheat have
been destroyed this year by the fly
Some damage has been done in North
Dakota. Little damage was done
however, in wheat grown on corn
land.

fIhe boys were given a bushel OF pure

banks furnished full blooded sows,
which were turned over to the boys,
who are to keep the offspring and
give the sows back in December, un-
