FROST DAMAGE is LESSENED
Warm Weather, With Heavy Rainfall
Counteracts Less From Cold.

OOUTTICT dNCS IISS OTT OOTu.
Excellent prospects for crops that
have been nipped by frost prevail as
a result Of higher temperatures and
clear weather.
The warm weather follows a long
period of rains, which came imme.
diately after the frost, and as a re-
suit the crops that were affected are
practically certain of almost com
pletely overcoming the effects Of the
cold spell.
This condition is reported general
from Pembina, Cavalier, Towner and
the northern tier Of counties, in which
the frost seems to have done the most
temporary damage.

RAINY DAY WALKS
By LAURA KINGSTON

walking stick is a useful article as 1t does a good deal of help when walking along muddy lanes. As a rule, in wet weather walks country lanes must be avoided, especially ones that lead over a clayey soil. as this clings to the boots and makes walking very tiring.
 It is better to keep to we'll made roads and avoid fields A field that would make delightful walking in the summer time may represent a shallow swamp during the depth of winter or spring. and there Is no fun in wading through a few inches of mingled water and mud, covered by a layer of wet grass. Experience will soon teach the incest roads to take. The beauty of the fading leaf Is quite different from that of the summer greenery, and a
 beautiful landscape will be inexpressibly dreary when all the leaves are falling For this reason the beautiful scenes of summer walks will give place to delight full ones where the winters grandeur oi frost and snow will well repay walk So many persons have an idea that ii is positively unhealthy to go out in ths rain.
 You will catch your death of cold. they exclaim, with a look of horror, but provided one is dressed suitably thert
 Is really no reason why cold should
 be easier caught during wet day'' walk than during a summer one.
 | In fact, the chances are really equal | The real cause of cold catching lies il
 the fact that for the greater part O
 the day have been sitting in clos 1 atmosphere, the air heated and vitfated and then the walk is taken in clothes | that are too thin or not protective enough
 A cold is caught and the weather |
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-01-31

A really wet day is generally an ex- mersed in the pages of the latest novel by a favotite author. Nothing calls so strenuouslyl as a good fire and a com fortabe chair, while outside the wind is blowing and the rain is beating heav fly against the window. It Is such an impossible day outside The muddy rivu- lets are gurgling at the edge of the pave ment trying to escape underneath, while in the country the very thought of the muddy lanes is simply appalling. Only a man-woman would venture out in de- fiance of the storm!
 That is one side of the picture; friend of mine has another story to tell. She declares that her good complexion is due to walks in rainy weather. Waterproof hat and coat. with warm stockings and reasonably thick boots, and nothing will harm you Umbrellas? They are more bother than they are worth"
 This friends equipment was just as she said. She had a waterproof hat which covered her hair, and a loose mackintosh which completely hid her skirts and but toned close up to her throat the collar at the back fitting up under her hat Dress clips kept the macintosh well fast ened at the bottom. It always seems such q defect in mackintosh that the buttons do not button all the way dowr except in special; instances.
 For wet weather walking the skirt. should be about two inches shorter thar the mackintosh, and the latter should be short enough to escape the mud, bu not so short that the rain can beat agains l the stockings

 Besides all these material possessions. Thomas, Sr., had four children to bless him with happiness Three of them were sons-John, Thomas, Jr., and Samuel. Esther. the one daughter, married man named King of Weymouth.
 The fighting blood of the Baileys shows early in this branch of the family Sergt. John Bailey, Thomas oldest son, served in King Philips war. His two sons, John and Thomas, were also Indian fighters.

FURNITURE STORE
 FOR WILLIAMS

Williams has needed a furniture store for a number of years aud now this long felt want is to be supplied. MT. Chas. Dornan from Garland Prairie, has rented the building formerly occupied by Mccoy and Smith and is putting in complete line of furniture. He will carry hardware, and roug h drygoods such as blankets, bedding, mems work clothes, too, but he will specialize in furniture.
 To begin with, MT. Dornan pur- chased Babbitt-Polson Company s stock of furniture. To this he will add new goods, already ordered, to make complete line.
 One particularly attractive fea- ture for many people, of the new business will be the offer to take old furniture in part payment for new. Here is the chance for those having furniture which does not satisfy them, to dispose of the old to good advantage in the purchase of new goods.
 While MT. Dornan comes direct ly from Garland Prairie. he former ly resided in the East where he spent a number of years in the furniture business, so that the work is not new to him. He is starting up at an opportune mom- ent. He nas only to capture the trade which has formerly gone to mail order houses.

THINGS TO FORGET

Forget the slander you have
 heard,
 Forget the hasty, unkind word. Forget the quarrel and the cause, Forget the whole affair because Forgetting is the only way. Forget the storm of yesterday, Forget the chap whose sour face Forgets to smile in any place. Forget the trials you have had, Forget the weather if it's bad. Forget the knocker; he's a freak; Forget him seven days week. Forget you're not a millionaire, Forget the gray streaks in your
 hair.
 Forget the home team lost the
 game,
 Forget the pitcher was to blame. Forget the coffee when it's cold. Forget to kick, forget to scold. Forget the plumbers awful
 charge,
 Forget the iceman's bill is large. Forget the coal man and his ways
 (weighs),
 Forget the heat in summer days. Forget, wherever you may roam, Forget the duck who wrote this poem.
 Forget that he, in social bliss,
