Marbles In Fruit Kettle.

l have a neighbor who for some
time has used marbles to keep her
fruit from burning during the canning
season, and she says the plan works
admirably, writes a contributor. She
washes half a dozen large marbles and
drops them into the kettle when the
fruit begins to boil. The bubbles, ris-
ing at the bottom of the kettle, keep
the marbles moving over the surface
in such a name that the fruit does
not touch the bottom long enough to
be burned.-Mother's Magazine.

MR.. AND MRS. w. L. MILLAR OF
BURLINGTON HONORED BY A
HOST OF FRIENDS WEDNES-
DAY.

On Wednesday,, Oct. 20, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. L. Millar of Burlington Gel
ebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
their marriage. Nearly hundred
friends and relatives gathered at the
Millar home to do honor to this wor-
thy couple, who for the past thirty
years have resided at their present
location four miles up the Mouse val
ley from Burlington.
Mr.. and Mrs. Millar are natives of
Scotland, Mrs. Millar, then Annie
Morton, coming to this country few
years after the arrival of Mr.. Millar
who had come on to prepare a" home
for his promised bride. They were
married at Allegheny City, Pa, and
soon after took up their residence at
Steubensville, Ohio. Two years later
they moved to Norwood, ILL.,, where
they resided for seventeen years
when they moved to North Dakota
then a territory, full of rowing bands
of Indians. Nine children, six girls
and three boys, have come to bless
their freside and comfort them ir
their declining years. Of these all are
now living except one daughter, who
grew to womanhood, married, and dice
during a visit to Cuba some years
ago. The remaining members of the

THOUSANDS HERE
FOR REGISTRATION

An immense crowd of men and wo-
men are in Minot this week, to regis
ter for the $50 quarters of coal land
to be thrown open to settlement on
the Berthold Indian reservation.
The registration began Sunday
night at midnight and during the first
"a hours, just 207O had registered.
The place of registration is in the
basement of the new Jacobson block
under the Minot Department store.
Here notaries are to be found at all
hours of the day and night, three
shifts being employed.
Miss Alice Purdy of Minot had the
distinction of being the first to regis
ter. Of course this does not signify
much, as the last person to register
on the night Of Oct. 3, when the regis
tration closes, will have equally as
good an opportunity of drawing a
good number as the first.
Five thousand had registered at Mi
not up to Thursday morning and the
chances are that the registration will
be quite heavy until the close. Prac-
tically every state is represented. The
two to register first this morning
came from Maine and Seattle. A man
from Key West, Fla, registered We'd
nesday. It costs only rs cents to reg
lister and several hundred are going to
have an opportunity to build up fine
farm homes in one of the most fer
tile sections of North Dakota.
The registration at Bismarck and
Plaza, while not as heavy as in this
city, has been quite large and the
chances are that $4,000 will register
from the three points. It is believed
that $4,000 will register from Minot.
A large number Of people from Chi
cago and other large cities have reg
istered, intent on getting back to the
farm. Many are women who have
been working in stores and offices. All
are anxious to become independent

STOLE CHECK AND
BOUGHT SHOES
MIKE REILLY ARRESTED FOR
PASSING STOLEN CHECK FOR
1913 AT MINOT DEPARTMENT
STORE.

A stranger, giving his name as Mike
Reilly, was arrested Wednesday charg-
ed with passing check for $38 at the
Minot Department store, given to one
of the 500 laborers. The check was
good one, but had been stolen by
Reilly. The fellow bought pair Of
shoes for $3.50, presented the check
and got his change. Later in the day
when the check was presented for
payment at the bank, it was learned
that payment on it had been stopped.
The clerk who sold the shoes went
with the chief Of police on still hunt
and Reilly was located. All of the
money was returned.

North Dakota farmers.

North Dakota farmers.
1t is estimated that there were g.
900 strangers in the city Sunday
night, who came to register. The no.
tells were all full and scores slept in
the chairs, or stood around the Hobbies
all night long. This is golden har-
vest for hotels and rooming houses.
The 500 and Great Northern have
given IS rate from the Twin Cities
to any point in North Dakota and re-
turn, good for thirty days, and this
undoubtedly has caused many to come
to register who otherwise might not be
here.
At Plaza there were 600 registra-
tons the first day.
The headquarters of John McPhaul,
superintendent of the opening and sale
of Indian reservations, and his assist
ant, Clarence Fisher, will have their
offices at rooms 200 and POP of the
postoffice building. The boxes of regis
tration applications, when full, will be
taken to this office and locked in the
vaults of the postoffice building until
they are ready to be opened for the
drawing on November 4. The regis
trations from the other two registra-
ton points will be forwarded to the
Washington officials at this point also.
The drawing will take place Novem-
Der a, and will be completed, accord
ing to the present plans of the offic-
ials, in two days and probably in one.
Three thousand names will be drawn
in all. Notices of the numbers receiv-
ed by the individuals will be mailed
to them by the government at once
and lists of the names will be prepared
for publication by the press.
