The coming generation of house
wives are being taught in our public
schools that it isn't disgrace to be
found in the kitchen occasionally,
wearing an apron and with a dish
towel in her hands. The teaching of
domestic science in our schools will do
much in solving the problem of the
high cost of living. How many wo-
men know that for six cents one can
buy a breakfast food in bulk known as
Farina, just as good as the much ad-
vertised Cream of Wheat that costs
fifteen cents? (This is not an adver-
tisement.) How many of our house.
wives understand the blending Of cof-
fee? How many can go to butcher
shop and pick out any cut Of meat
and know that the butcher is giving
just what they ask for? Girls should
be taught not to despise cooking, one
of our highest arts, and the selection
of foods should receive their first con-
sideration. There would be more hap
by homes, fewer cases of dyspepsia
and not nearly so many divorces if
foods were more carefully and better
prepared.

THE LAST CRUSADE.

The probable release of Palestine
from Turkish rule at the end of this
war, a release almost evident which
ever of the enemies shall win, makes
the disposition of Palestine discus
sive matter.
While no doubt certain Christians
will object to surrendering the Holy
Land to the descendants of those who
lived in that Land at it's Holy moment,
the majority of the world would prob
ably prefer to see the restoration OF
Palestine to the Jews. The Land has
been under inidel rule for so long that
even the most evangelical would be
unable to believe the ignomy greater
if the country should be restored to
Judaism. And there is certain his
toric Justice which must appeal to
any. one in reestablishing the Jews in
Palestine. It will give the country an
appearance much closer to what 1t was
nineteen centuries ago. And there
would be no hostility, on the part OF
those restored, to the maintenance OF
the sacred Christian shrines in such
keeping as they have not been since
the days of Solomon.
There will be certain propriety IN
such restoration. For at its best, al
though Palestine can be made fruit
full country, it will remain in way a
museum country, and although the
waste places be made to blossom as
the rose, the increasing tourist trade
would be the most profitable. 1t IS
possible to make Palestine over, IN
people and dwellings and general at
mosphere, into what it was in the first
DAYS when it became a Holy Land.
Then the Christian peoples OF the
world would visit it as the Mohamme-
dams visit Mecca. Then would this
war, which already is called a crusade,
become the final crusade in Christen-
dom.

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature providing for the removal
of the North Dakota state fair from
Fargo and Grand Forks and locating
the same permanently at Bismarck.
Now Bismarck is a splendid city, and
we don't blame those energetic boost
ers for getting everything in sight
while the getting is good, but hasn't
Bismarck had about her share Of the
good things? She has the peniten-
tiary, for instance, the state capitol,
the industrial exposition, with the re-
form school located "at or near Man.
dan" Now if the state fair is to be
moved, why not locate it at Williston,
Minot, Devils Lake or New Rockford?
Let's pass the good things around.

fair profit, but if he doesn't acquire
the happy faculty of letting the pub
lie in on the deal, he can blame only
himself if the trade goes by his door.
The merchant should learn to write
his advertisements, just as he would
talk to a customer, if he had him but
ton-holed in his store. He should de-
scribe his merchandise and quote
prices frequently. He should first be
careful to buy the right kind of mer-
chandise at the right prices, then let
the world know about it. The success
full merchant usually figures on spend
ing so much money for printers ink,
this expense being as necessary as
rent, taxes, etc. Advertisements
should be changed frequently. Spend
a little more time with your advertis-
ing this year. 1t will pay.

The Panama exposition will open at
San Francisco February 20. This is
the first time that worlds fair will
have opened on schedule time and it
is going to be some fair! OF course
we are all going to save our pin mon
ey and 20. It's a great opportunity
and we understand in March the fare
will be only s625O for first class
round trip ticket. When you get out
to California, for goodness sake, don't
start to smelling the roses the first
thing. If you do, they will "spot"
you at once. Get used to the change
gradually. Further advice given upon
application.

and this mobilization became q most
important factor in supplying speedy
rescue. The earthquake was wide
enough in extent and disastrous
enough in consequence, to compare
with the war which has been avoided.
But, whereas at any other time the
nations of the world, and particularly
this United States would have hasten
ed to send relief, Italy declares her
self sufficient unto herself. She ad-
vised the United States in the first day
of the quake that she would be able to
take care of the sufferers, and within
two days the government had approp-
rated six million dollars.
Italy is today an isolated country
Reaching out from the solid body Of
Europe, into the vexed waters of the
Midland sea, where British, Turkish,
Austrian and French ships are seeking
to carry on the war, Italy is yet sur
rounded by wall, almost of indiffer-
ence. In the very midst of strife it
remains at peace. And suffering un-
der a tremendous calamity, it succors
its own and refuses assistance from
the outside world. In these days when
ten nations are fighting each other
because of their desire for each 9TH
er's possessions or trade or illusions,
it is good to find one nation, so near
to the ten, which is equal to its own
peace and its own peril.

ITALY HELPS ITS OWN.

A nation can be sufficient to itself,
even in these times when every nation
is impinging on every other. The iso-
lation of Italy during this war has
been a very satisfactory spectacle to
the unwary world.
For Italy might have entered the
war had she felt the need of war, and
the overmastering desire to get back
the Italian provinces of Austria, with
very good excuse; she might have
entered on either side. But Italy
chose to remain neutral, while mobil.
izing her troops as if about to enter
the fight. Then came the earthquake

Recently the eastern roads were
granted the privilege of increasing
their rate 5 per cent. OF course the
rates were high before, but the public
can always stand another twist or
two. The western roads are about to
ask for an increase and may get it.
They say they cannot expand much
without it, in fact business in general
is pretty dull and thousands of men
have been laid off. 1t appears that
when the railroads do not prosper we
all suffer to a certain extent. Minot
feels the inactivity of the railroads
considerably.

The Great Northern train crews ap-
pear more considerate than in former
years, and we are of the opinion that
"Jim" Hill has taken them out in the
wood shed at some time of another and
given them heart to heart talk. The
average passenger likes gentlemanly
conductors, brakemen and porters to
deal with. The Great Northern de-
serves a good deal of credit for the
class of employees to be found on their
trains at the present time.

The Independent is pleased to see
so many farmers of this and neighbor-
ing counties in the city this week for
the Mid winter fair. The corn exhib-
its are revelation to all who have at
tended the fair. There are splendid
displays from the Goosepeck country,
from Berthold, Ryder, Carpio, Donny-
brook, Sawyer, Surrey and every 9TH
er section of the county. 1t seems that
good corn is being grown everywhere.
Thousands of bushels of perfectly
good seed was saved from last years
crop and this will all be used for next
seasons crop. Farmers used to sow
their flax, wheat, oats, barley and rye
and then plant their corn with what
little time remained. The crop was
put in late. Poor seed was used and
it was no wonder that satisfactory re-
suits were not obtained. But now, all
is different. Corn is one of the main
crops. 1t is planted just as early
as the season will allow and it receives
the attention it deserves. It is cul-
tivated frequently and better corn is
being grown each year. This section
of North Dakota is in the corn belt.
Silos are springing up everywhere and
herds of fine cattle and droves of
blooded porkers are being raised. AS
the Independent predicted more than a
decade ago, corn has become one Of
our main crops and our farmers are
prospecting.

AS we rode across the state last
Sunday, when the thermometer regis
tered Is degrees below zero practically
all day long, we saw hundreds of head
of cattle and horses eating in the
fields and about straw piles. They did
not seem to mind the cold bit and ap-
peared in fine condition. Of course
they would probably do better in warm
barns, but thousands of head of stock
are wintered in North Dakota each
wear, with but little shelter.

Flour at $4.2O per hundred is the
highest known in years. The farmers
who have wheat to sell, welcome the
high price for that product, but it's
hard on the poor fellow who works for
wages and who is doing the best he
can to support family. With pota-
toes selling at from forty to fifty
cents bushel, the poor man manages
to get along, but he is not living in
affluence by any means.

The farmers and dairymen Of North
Dakota should rejoice that their cattle
are not yet affected by the hoof and
mouth disease. Turnout Illinois and
other sections of the middle west, this
dread disease is still raging and the
officials of the government, who are
doing their utmost to stamp it out,
are not meeting with the right kind of
cooperation from the farmers. You
cannot blame farmer much for reg
istering good-sized kick when his
fine herd of cattle are led up to the
trench for slaughter, when it has
been proven that had they been al
lowed to live, all would have recover
ed with the possible exception of two
or three per cent However, this is not
stamping out the disease for it is
spreading rapidly and all animals with
cloven hoofs, including hogs, are sub
ject to attack. The disease is becom-
ing more virile and unless the farm
ers cooperate with the authorities, it
is likely to spread to other states. We
would not be at all surprised to learn
of it's prevalence in North Dakota in
time. Illinois farm homes are under
quarantine. When the disease attacks
a herd, those who reside on the farm
are not allowed to leave their homes.
Even the family dogs are ordered kill
ed, for they have been known to car
~ the disease. Lime has been sprink-
led in the streets of Illinois towns and
no cattle or hogs are allowed to be
shipped to market. Many farmers have
gotten rid of their hogs and cattle, in
many instances farmers turning their
herds over to their neighbors to save
their farms from quarantine.
