80, 900 WOMEN OFFER
SPECIAL WAR SERVICE
Would Work in the British Armament
and Clothing Factories and on
the Farms.

LONDON, April Is. Thirty-three
thousand women had registered them
selves for special war service up to
the end of March. This statement
was made last night by Walter Run
Gilman, president of the board of trade,
TO deputation representing the va
rious women s societies in London.
Six thousand of the women, Mr..
Runciman said, had declared them
selves willing to work in armament
factories, 1000 in clothing factories,
LOO in dairy work, 500 as gardeners,
1000 in various branches of agricul-
tural work, LOO as shop assistants,
500 as leather workers, and 5000 in
clerical work. Six hundred women had
received employment at the board of
trade, Mr.. Runciman added.
The government, the speaker con
tinued, insisted that women employed
on government contract work be paid
the same piece rates as men. The gov
eminent had arranged to give women
willing and qualified to undertake
dairy or agricultural work a fort
night s training in agricultural col
leges, paying them meanwhile So q

Sylvia Pankhurst, the militant sui
fragette, urged that the government
take measures to obtain for women in
whatever capacity they were employed
the same pay as men receive.

upon the public, which cannot be safe

OF the money directly spent by the

charges of misconduct were made
against him. 1t is pleasing to the ad-

he is a conscientious man doing a
noble work, to know that he has not
only been completely exonerated by

When New Mexico and Arizona be-
came respectively the forty-seventh
and the forty eighth states of the I'm
ion, three years ago, there was speeu-
latIon as to what territories would
form the next two and bring the num-
Der of commonwealth in the sacred

Alaska and Hawaii were supposed to
be the most available for statehood
but it was believed that many years
must elapse before they would pass
beyond the territorial stage.
1t was not widely known until re-
Gently, when the agitation arose for
cutting off the western portion of
Texas and erecting it into a separate
state, that by the terms under which
the Lone Star Republic was admitted
to the Union, after maintaining its in
dependence from Mexico with the
bloody Alamo and other fights, it re-
served to itself the right of subdivid-
ing itself into five states. Until now
no proposal to exercise that right has
been seriously made, although its vast
extent of 265, 500 square miles is more
than five times the area of any one of
more than half of the other states.
a precedent for the division of a
state is found in the setting off of
West Virginia from Virginia in 1862
when the internecine strife was raging
with especial vigor in the border
states. North and South Dakota were
created from the old territory of Da
kota. North Carolina and South Car
DINA were so known when they ratified
the constitution and became charter
members of the Union they later
sought to destroy. Vermont was set

The Riggs bank case in Washington
is attracting the attention of the en-

sides of the controversy are to posi-
tive as to leave no doubt that serious
fault exists somewhere. If the bank
people are able to prove that the in
stitution has been mistreated through
the spite of federal officials they will
have performed a public service. If,
on the other hand, the treasury depart

sentation adequate to its rapid in

is remote from the once arid but now
irrigated plains, which now form a
dry region only in the restricted
use of the word. The town of Abilene
is already mentioned as the possible

fer the fission of Texas has not yet
been acted upon favorably by the Gen

the agitation of the matter will bring
about that result.

FACILITIES

The marketing facilities of Bottineau County
are of the very best, when it is considered that
in 1913 there were IS grain elevators scattered
through the county at advantageous points, so
that all the farmers have a short haul over good
roads to them. The mere fact that four lines
of railroads go through the county, three of them
north and west, making it necessary for the rail
roads to safeguard their territory in the matter
of grain shipments, has made it necessary for
them to see that more elevators are placed a.
long their lines in the proximity of junction
points. Thus we have twenty-seven points in the

number and mileage of the rural mail routes
leading out of the cities and towns into the farm
ing districts and the number and miles of rural
telephone lines intersecting the county.
At this writing there has been established
by the Post Office Department twenty-eight ru-
raj mail routes with an aggregate mileage of
over eight hundred miles. 1t is safe to say that
in the future every farmer in the county will be
able to read his daily paper at supper time each
day in the week. 1t also enables them to ship
a great deal of produce of their farms to the CT
ty markets via Parcel Post. With the influx of
new settlers the Postoffice Department will un-
doubtedly keep pace in the matter of extension
of the rural mail service.
Modern civilization demands easy communica-
ton between n%eighbors and communities. The
telephone therefore has taken the place Of the
slow moving letter of former days. That the
people of this county are alive to the Importance
of quick and satisfactory communication is attest
ed by the fact that there are at this time over
eight hundred miles of rural telephone lines in
Bottineau County. The major portion of these
lines are owned by Farmers Cooperative Compan-
les, not with the idea of amassing dividends but
for the purpose of furnishing the cheapest possible
service for their subscribers, the farmers them
selves. These rural lines are connected up in
the cities and villages of the county with the
large long distance lines, with their perfect
copper circuits so that the farmer in his own
home may talk to people in the large cities of
North Dakota and neighboring states.
Bottineau County has the largest Farmers
Mutual Telephone Company in the State of North
Dakota, with three hundred miles of line and
approximately three hundred phones.

of trees may be found surrounding the farm
buildings of the thrifty farmer. Nearly all var
ieties of forest and shade trees thrive here and
make quick growth, including all varieties of
evergreens, with a minimum of care.
In the city of Bottineau is situated a unique
institution-The State School of Forestry-believ-
ed to be the only one of it's kind in the United
States. 1t is supported by legislative appropri-
atoms and has for it's object the imparting of in
%struction and training such as would be contem-
plated in an agricultural high school, emphasiz-
ing those subjects having a direct bearing On
horticulture and forestry.

In accordance with the action of the North
Dakota Legislature of 1913, the N. D. State School
of Forestry is making every effort to supply for
est trees, seeds, cuttings and seedlings for plant
ing on the prairies of our state. AS provided
by law, the State Forester is available for lect-
ures before Farmers Institutes, associations and
other organizations interested in the growing of
trees.
Not only is the School Of Forestry a big ad-
vantage from a tree culture standpoint but it
offers the very best school advantages for our
sons and daughters. Two years University work
can be taken here which means a great advan-
tage to those parents who do not wish the ex-
pense or inconvenience of sending their children
away to the University for an education.

the farmer in any community.
Bottineau County was the first county in the
state to secure the services of these men and at
the present time we have two stationed here
one east and one west of the Mouse River. The
services of these men are free to all who ask it.
They will be especially valuable to the man COM

The Better Farming Experts in this coun-
ty have been a great help thus far in giving di-
versifed farming an added impetus, through the
development of alfalfa, corn and livestock rails
ing, not forgetting the dairy industry.
FOREST AND SHADE TREEs-FREE TREES
FOR SETTLERS
Perhaps no county in the state can boast
of more acres of natural forest and shade trees
than Bottineau County, as the Turtle Mountains
are covered with a dense growth of forest trees
except where clearings have been made, and the
rivers and other streams are lined with beauti-
full forest trees. Besides these natural trees,
planted groves dot the landscape in every dir.
ection, in many instances as high as twenty acres

county where grain may be marketed at any
time of the year. At a majority of the above
points we'll appointed stockyards are provided by
the railroads for the shipment and unloading of
stock.
Besides the home market, which is a heavy
user of farm produce, we have within a radius
of 100 miles an exceptionally favorable market for
butter, eggs, butter-fat, chickens, potatoes and
other vegetables, thus saving the producer a large
amount of freight or express.
