Feeding the Dog.

The greatest mistake made in the
feeding Of dogs Ia In giving them raw
meat. In the case Of the house dog,
raw meat should never be used. and II
may be taken as general rule for such
animals that the less meat given the
better. Oatmeal porridge Ia a good sta
pie food. especially when milk is added
to II. The scraps from the table. par.
tieularly bread moistcned with milk or
gravy. are also good. Green vegetables
act as n good medicine and should be
given. Potatoes are nice for a change.
but ! don't like them TO form tho chief
part OF the food every day. Pastry
should be rarely used. and then In Only

URGED TO JOIN Sc MOVEMENT
Organization Of New Farmers Party
Under Way-Activities Confined
To Rural Sections.

Grand Forks.-A movement involv-
ing the creation of a big fund and the
binding of the members to support
the candidate they may represent, that
officers of the association may indorse,
is under way in North Dakota.
1t is known as the "$6 movement"
because S. is the initiation fee. Its
activities are confined entirely to the
rural sections. It is said to be spon-
sored by a combination Of socialists
and supporters of the American Soci-
ETY. of Equity.
That members practically sign away
their political right, is the charge made
in some quarters. 1t is said the agree
ment provides that no attention shall
be paid to party lines. and that only
candidates who receive the indorse-
ment of the league officers shall be
supported.
Another feature is said to be in a
clause which provides for the election
of only farmers as members of the leg
islature.
For the Sc which members Of the
league pay, they are assured a years
subscription to a certain magazine, but
beyond that no promises are made.
The promotion of questions of agri-
cultural interest will be the chief OBJ
ject Of the newly formed league.

what remained.
Under the terms Of the settlement
she will take realty property in Los
Angeles and certain diamonds, now
held in trust, and will pay a $4,000
claim for services to the estate.

University biologists say the explain

that extensive Ignite coal veins un-

tinue to burn indefinitely, biologists
say.

hot that snow never rests there, al
though the temperature outside may be
40 below zero. Vegetation will not

who found it warm there in winter.
Many traces of Indians have been

Whiting Built It Himself, for Himself

It's His Own Affair.

he is caught out in the rain while

tin and has band of copper. In gen.
eral build and dimensions it conforms
to the 1915 model worn by fashionable
young men. Mr.. Whiting concluded
that straw was too flimsy, wool too
hot, and Panama too costly, so he
went to his own tinshop and from the
thinnest tin that he could find built
for himself this novel hat. It shines
gladly in the sulight of the morning,
reflects the glory of the sunset, and
echoes unsteady in the rain.
The only think about it that makes

FROST DAMAGES CORN CROP.
Some Sections In Extreme Northern
Portion Of state Report Corn
Practically Wiped Out.

Grand Forks.-Corn suffered from
the killing frost which prevailed
throughout the extreme northern por-
ton of North Dakota.
The frost extended practically all
the way across the state through a
belt from twenty to. forty miles wide.
In some sections corn is reported prac-
tically wiped out.
Wheat and barley, which have ma
tured in most places, suffered only
slightly.
The following reports received from
bankers and others from central points
show the extent of damage:
Pebina, A. ]. Wilson: Frost ex-
tended over the northern portion Of
Pembina county and in some localities
the corn is severely damaged. Wheat
and other crops are generally matured.
Cando, Harry Lord: Frost was gen.
eral in Tower county and some dam
age was done to corn. The extent of
the loss cannot be fully estimated as
yet.
Bottineau, H. A. Bagie: Judging by
present indications the corn crop in
Bottineau Is practically ruined.
Landon, ]. E. Mellen: Light frost
struck number of sections in Cava-
lier county. The damage to corn is
difficult to estimate.
