An important move toward future
good citizenship is the adoption in
this state of the mothers pension law.
Eight other states have a law SINH
lar to the one which went into eff
feet in North Dakota July 1, and
have found it effective in keeping
children out of the courts by assur-
ing them a home and the guardian
ship of their mother. The law in
some states requires that the mother
be a widow, but in this state any
mother who is left with the care and
support of children can secure from
the county a sum not to exceed SIS
per month for each child under four
teen, provided she is shown to be a
proper person mentally, morally and
physically to have the care of chill
dren and to have resided in the
county at least a year. Application
is made to the county judge, who
presents the case to the commission
ers, auditor and treasurer. Judge
Maser had not had any applications
the first Of the week but expected
two from persons who came to his
office before the law went into eff
feet.

FREE TREES FOR FARMERS

A representative of the PRESS
saw this week a thriving embryo
grove of Seeding trees obtained the
past spring from the state School of
Forestry at Bottineau and set &C.
cording to directions. Ash, elm, box
elder and cottonwood are so alter
mated that the more rapidly maturing
trees may later be removed for home
or commercial purposes and the
slower growing varieties left as a
permanent grove. Two hundred and
fifty of these sturdy little trees cost
the owner only the transportation
charges! Heretofore the nursery
cost of trees has kept many from
putting oat the grove Of shelter belt
which is such an addition r.. the farm
in every way, adding a hundred per
cent to the appearance of the place,
forming a protection from the cold
and snow in winter and from heat in
summer and, all the time, maturing
wood that is commercially so valua-
BILE. Now that a few cents or a
dollar will bring trees and cuttings
for the asking, every land owner
should hasten to get his application
in for a supply next spring.
The state School of Forestry at
Bottineau distributes forest seed,
seedlings and cuttings. 1t expects to
have available for distribution in
the spring of 1916 cuttings of golden,
laurel leaf, Diamond, and white will
low; Norway, Carolina and Russian
poplars; The Thurlow, Niobe weep
ing willow and the Russian arte-
mesia; Seeding ash, boxelder, elm
and red oak also, Caragana Or the
Siberian peatree used for hedge
planting.
The northern Great Plains field
station at Mandan is also distributing
shelter belt trees free and has had so
many applications that four men have
been added to the tree distribution
staff.
Both these institutions furnish
application blanks upon request and
require only compliance with certain
rules for setting to insure the growth
Of the trees. Requests for trees
next spring should be filed at once.

the filthy garbage pile, and it should
not be long r the city officials will
be asked to provide for it's frequent
removal and destruction.
Regarding the cost, a statement
from a neighboring city where it is
being tried out, for the month of
June will prove interesting and ed
ucational. The district reported con-
tains 300 families. All but twenty
nine have already procured cans
and fourteen of these assured the
health department they have no gar
bage to dispose of.
The figures follow and show it
does not cost 50 very much after all
to be clean:
Amount of garbage hauled during
month, 45,23O lbs. or % 3-5 tons;
number of loads hauled 46; collector
employed in garbage work, IA days;
collector employed in street work, 13
days; expense charged to garbage
collection, $44.07, and to street work
$40.93; total charged hotels, restau-
rants and boarding houses for garb-
age service, $500; net cost of garb-
age collection for month, $31.0

Residents of our neighbor city on
the Missouri rightly resented the re-
marks of a Chautauqua civic expert
who, after p%icturing the delights of
play grounds, lakes, boats, etc., sug-
gested that the city was on the to-
boggan slide and would land on the
dump heap if it did not wake up to
the necessity of these things. Not a
word had the expert about fix
ing the roads so that the farmers can
haul their loads to market easily.
Not a word had he about developing
the country upon which the city de-
ponds. The trimmings" caught his
eye and the beef steak and potatoes
of agricultural prosperity did not ap-
peal to him if he could secure the
pie of attractive city pleasure
grounds Both have their place and
both are needed but, without the de-
velopment of the farming country
tributary, the city is really on the
toboggan slide.

BEAUTY OF BAD LANDS

= Do we appreciate the unusual
beauty of this section of the country
and realize that within fifteen or
twenty miles of Dickinson are
sights many would traverse half a
continent to see? To be sure there
are large treeless areas, but, with the
settling up of the country and the
practical elimination Of the prairie
fires, the trees along the rivers,
creeks and draws are making a won-
derful showing. There is no monot-
ony in our landscape and much of
our scenery matches anything found
anywhere in the country.
A twelve mile drive north brings
one to the edge of the Breaks or
miniature Bad Lands, with their odd
ly shaped cones, gorgeous coloring
and wealth Of wild plum trees and
ground cedar clinging to the sides and
tops of the buttes. In the distance
are the historic Killdeer mountains,
with oak thickets, cool springs and
the famous Diamond C ranch nest
ling at the base, which will we'll re-
pay a visit if one has a day or two
to spare.
From Dickinson to South Heart
the old bumpy road is no more
and, up and down, over the scoria
surfaced Red Trail, the car simply
flies along, with the tree-fringed
Heart river at the left and the
sharply notched outline of the Blue
Crane hills in the background.
The new road from South Heart to
Daglum winds right through the Lit
tie Bad Lands and, if one hasn't

enlarge it. This is, however, proba-
bly, a good business move on the gov
errors part, The western part Of the
state is fast coming to be the best
part-a fact which one realize
more than Governor Hanna, and, ,un-
like Dickinson with it's two big mod
ern hotels, Mandan is short when it
comes to good hostelries, the Nigi, a
block from the depot, being unequal
to the demand. The Inter- Ocean has
a fine location opposite the depot and
will probably be a paying investment.

ON THE LAST HALF

The summer school is now on the
last half and everybody is working

of the Slope, who cannot fail to do
better work in their schools next

learned here.
THE primary work under Mrs. Por-
ter has been a revelation to many of
the teachers. This week Mrs. Porter
has been giving an extra afternoon
period for institute work. Some six
ty reported for this the first day,
others coming in later. :,
The assembly period this week
has been very interesting, with talks

There is considerable agitation
owe the state about establishing a
meat packing plant, and with it's US
ual readiness to take on all the good
things there are coming, Fargo has
decided the proper location for such
a plant is at Fargo. We object.
The place for a meat packing plant
in this state is at Dickinson in the
heart of the stock raising part of the
state, and not at a point 300 miles
away, necessitating work of loading
and freight across the state. In the
early days the de Mores plant at Me-
dora was a failure but the stock bust
ness is now on a more permanent
basis and the government now con-
trolls the big packers who froze out
de Mores.

splendid showing of evergreen trees
was especially noticeable. Black wal

there was the strawberry patch which
all enjoyed.
