USES FOR Old LINEN.
How Frenchwomen Use the Tops of
Old Evening Gloves.

v - 100 ~EC ASR1 -
old Evening Gloves.
Never throw away old linen in any
shape or foIm. Cotton sheets and pill
lowcases when old and worn are soft
and splendid for bandages and other
sickroom needs. No new bandage
ever equals old bed or table linen for
such purposes, as they will tell you at
any hospital, but it is understood it
must be sterilized before being used.
Housekeepers are apt to overlook
this use for old linen unless there is
really sickness present in the house,
but a store of such pieces laid away
will never come amiss even il they are
only used for ironing boards and for
wrapping up bundles in the storeroom,
for in a cor tagious disease old sheets
must be hung over the doorways TO the
sickroom and kept wet with disinfect-
ant. When the weather is hot wet
sheets hung about the room will cool
the air. =.
The linen should have been washed
clean without starch, and the hands
that roll it should be very clean. For
an open wound sterilized gauze will be
a necessity, but clean linen may be
used to protect the bandages under
meath. At the hospitals the old linen
so utilized is baked in the regular ven
to s~terilize it before using.
When the bandages are rolled they
should be placed In a clean covered
receptacle until needed. A glass jar
or a covered box will do for the pur-
pose. The width of the bandages de-
ponds upon their use. About n inch
is wide enough for a finger. and from
that the widths vary. For an abdom-
inal bandage six or eight inches may
not be too wide.
The tops of old evening gloves have
their use too. An appeal recently came
from Paris Cor them, to be sewed to-
gether as interlinings in vests for sol
diers in winter trenches. Hundreds Of
poor women are kept employed making
these winter comforts

If time is a consideration for
the shopping trip do not try to
save it by making a mad rush
through the stores, pushing
through crowds like a football
player, usurping the places of
others at the various counters
and ordering articles which you
are sure will be returned tomor-
row. Rather save the time be-
fore starting out by making a
list of the articles desired and
deciding just exactly what you
are going to get.

WALKING an Imaginary RaiI.

To step gracefully walking an imag-
mary rail is good exercise. Draw a
long chalk line, then walk as you see
children walk on rails. Balance your
self with your arms, which at first you
will swing wildly to keep your bal
ance. Gradually you will gain conf.
dence and control of the leg muscles
and will soon hold the body erect. This
will Of course add grace to your walk.

DRY BULBS IN FALL.

In the fall, after the tops are
!. killed by frost, lift the tubers
. carefully and lay them in a shall
. low box in the sun until they are
i. very dry. With a coarse cloth
/. rub every particle of earth off
the tubers and next cut the plant
!. stem off close down to the tuber.
Next prepare some common sand
!. by having it thoroughly dried.
Put a little in the bottom of a
/. box of suitable size to hold the
bulbs; then put in the bulbs and
. fill the remainder of the box
with sand. Be sure the sand
completely overs all the bulbs.
Put the box in a dry place for
ten days or two weeks, then
bring it out. Go carefully over
each bulb and see if the end of
the stem close to the bulb has
dried off properly.
Many of them will be dry and
clean, but there are apt to be a
few with a small spot of decay
just where the stem was cut on.
Carefully dry this out
Pack the bulbs away again, as
before, in the sand and place
the box in a cool closet where
the temperature does not drop
below 40 degrees nor rise much
above 80 degrees. Here they will
be quite certain to keep in good
condition until planting out time
in the spring.

RANCH AND FARM

English war horse buyers who have
been several months in the west, are
going east and it is reported the
French are following their example.
A Little Missouri river valley farm
er has Minnesota 13 corn which meas
ures just 8 feet in height and North
western Dent just as good and a. lit

The French inspection at the Sunny
side stock yards did not occur as per
schedule last week. Captain Roy
wired to postpone the sale a day, but
the men in charge, Ed. Partridge,
Charles Seaman and P. w. Waite, dis
posed of the horses offered to eager
Omaha buyers.
The critical time for the spread of
hog cholera will continue through
September and growers will need to
watch their herds carefully for any
signs of illness, not only for their
own protection but in the interest of
others and to prevent a serious cpl
demic. This is the advice given by
experts.
Only fifteen bids were submitted
for Indian lands on the Standing Rock
reservation and four of these were
thrown out, making only eleven tracts
sold. On August 10 the price of
homesteads or the reservation was
reduced from SIS to $3.50 per acre,
which may make the government
lands there a little more attractive.
Joe Bilyeu while "heeling" a COW
at his ranch south of town, met with
an accident, which resulted in a pain
full injury to his right arm. AS he
threw the rope to catch the cow it
caught around his wrist and as the
rope was fastened to the saddle the
full weight and strength of the COW
was thrown against Mr.. Bilyeu's arm.
It will be sometime before he can
use his arm, though it is not per-
manently injured.-Wibaux Pioneer.
Again the farmers are urged to
stack their grain rather than trust it
to the shock, provided it can be
properly stacked. Not only does
Stacking safeguard the grain from
rain, but experts say that the sweat
| ing increases it's value several cents
per bushel and it leaves the farmer
free for other fall work for a time.
Many farmers, however, prefer to
thresh from shock and be done with
it.

Perhaps New England was unlucky.
They got IL hits to our z and the
Indian struck out II men to Gardner's

pitcher in the 9th it might have been

goes to New England on August 29
for q 18th game. This will likely be
the last game of the season for the
locals.
New England had a large number
up for the game Sunday and it is
expected the Dickinson people will
show the same interest on the goth
and drive to the Milwaukee terminal.
1t will be a nice thing to do.

1t was in the 7th that New England

This clearly shows that we are
prohibited from doing business east
of Mandan. Our average net profit
on Ignite the past year has been Csc
per ton. There isn't a place east of
Mandan where the difference is not
far greater than our net profit which
should show to any disinterested per-
son that the western part of North
Dakota, (where the large beds of
Ignite are located) has been legis-
lated out of business by your board.
If you had been the legal representa-
tive for the Wilton district you could
not have acted more faithful in the
discharge of your duties.
The fact of the matter is there is
but one shipping mine in the Wilton
district, while west of the river there
are 6 or 7. These mines have been
struggling for an existence under
former rates which still left them a
small profit but under present rates
established by your board they are
done.
We have been under the impression
that your board was representing the
Ignite industries of the state of
North Dakota regardless of any par
ticular locality but it seems we have
been mistaken in our opinion. 1t
must be well known to your board
that the price of Ignite is low and
that in consequence the profit on lig-
mite is small. AS we understand it.,
your board had the assistance of Mr..
Little, an expert rate man, and it is
surprising to us why you should not
have considered the western part of
the state, which you have not done as
shown by the rates you have estab-
lished.
It is time to reconsider your former
action and do equal justice to the
western part of the state. We do
not come before you to ask favors;
all we ask, and we think we have a
right to demand, is justice.
The Dakota Ignite Mines Co. has
an investment of $150,000 and besides
us there are two other mines at this
section having large investments.
1t is a matter of serious concern to
US to be legislated out of business.
We want to hear from you on this.
Yours very truly,

Board of Railroad Commissioners,

Subject: NEW Ignite RATES.
Dear Sirs:-
The matter of the new Ignite rate
schedule which your board recently
established, effective September 4th
has been called to our attention.
From close examination we find
these rates will absolutely shut out
the Ignite coal mines operating in
the slope country, west of Bismarck
from the eastern market. (,
We are informed that under the
The Dickinson press., 1915-08-28

statutory rate our mines were allowed
to compete in the eastern North Da-
kota market and also the railroad
companies, after fighting the rate
matter through the supreme court,
established a rate allowing our mines
to compete.
In looking over your rates it ap--
pears your board left the short haul
intact and increased the long haul
which, it seems to us, would neces-
sarily put all mines on a local basis,
which would mean the cutting out of
competition and would give the en-
tire state institution business to the
one mine east of the Missouri river.
It would appear your board have
failed to remember that the largest
portion of all the Ignite in the state
Of North Dakota is in u slope
county and that we have mines
equipped for large tonnage who will
have to be allowed to enter the east
ern market to make up their tonnage.
Surely if the Ignite resources of this
section is to be developed we must
have more than a local market. Then
again mines organized and equipped
as some of our local mines are, should
not be put out of business without re-
course or compensation.
We beg therefore in behalf of the
Dickinson Commercial Club to ask
your kindness in reconsidering this
matter, we are,
Yours very truly,
ALF. WHITE, President.

WRITE GOVERNOR HANNA

Portions of a letter to Governor L.
B. Hanna are as follows:
We contend that a proper advance
in price should have been made so
that all mines would have an equal
advance in freight, and an equal
chance on the market.
The Railroad Board apparently did
not consider the industry, so much, as
to make the rate just right for the
Wilton mine. 1t is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that the great lig-
mite area is west of the Missouri and
certainly if the Ignite industry of
North Dakota is to prosper, we must
be allowed to ship our coal east of
Mandan in competition with the only
other mine east of the river. The
fact Of the matter is the rates as es-
tablished will cut our business so to
60 per cent.
Our investment represents a ca
pacity sufficient to handle four or five
times the amount we have ever
shipped. Last year u tonnage was
4,4OO ton, a little more than half of
