A HOME PROBLEM FILM

In Bondwomen'' the George
Kleine photoplay released through
Kleine- Edison feature service, to be
shown at the Electric theatre next
Monday Feb. %, husbands and wives,
and also those contemplating marriage
will find much to ponder.
The theme in "Bondwomen'' is
whether husband ought to assume
major portion of the domestic re-
sponsibilities so far as they extend to
the family purse strings. Should he
insist on scanning bills for groceries,
meats, clothing, etc., or ought he
delegate that entirely to his wife,
trusting in her ability to properly
manage these affairs. Do not wives
resent this husbandly espionage over
their especial province?
All this is brought out in forcible
manner in 'Bondwomen'' as the
author has viewed the problem from
an entirely impartial standpoint, the
problem is presented fairly.
Maude Fealy in the titular role il
'Bondwomen" rises to great dra-
matte heights, interpreting he,
lines in masterly fashion.

As high spirited and hopeful enthusi-
asts of the high school journeyed
with the girls and boys basket ball
teams to Park River. The Park
River boys and girls were there to
meet them and escorted them to the
high school from which they were
taken to the various homes for enter
tainment. The game between the
girls was called at $50. All were
ready for royal battle and such it
was. Both teams started strong and
played good basketball The first
half ended 1O-11 in favor of the
Langdon girls. After a short inter-
mission the game was resumed Each
side gained more points and when the
final whistle blew Langdon was one
point in the lead winning by a score
of 1920.
The boys game, which started di-
rectly. was equally exciting through
| out because of the closness of the
score at all times. Very close guard
ing featured on both sides which
partly accounts for the small score.
In the first half only three field goals
were made and the score stood 81
for Park River. In the second half
Langdon boys went on the floor deter.
mined to over come the small lead OF
four points but the best they Were
able to do was to break even with
1910, which gave the game to Parl
River by a score of 1917.
After the game the Langdon crowt
were nicely entertained at the schoo
house with music, readings and ex
tempore speeches and then served
with ice cream and cake. A jolly
good time was had by all Saturda,

REPORT OF YEARS WORK
The Year OF 1915 Makes Highly
Creditable Showing for Better
Farming Association
Plans Made for Warfare Over En-
tire County to Eradicate Weeds
and Destroy Gophers

At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners which reached
its adjournment within the past week
Mr.. j. W. Haw, who is the field
agent of the agricultural extension
department of the North Dakota
experiment station for the northern
section of Cavalier county. presented
his annual report for 1915, of which
the outlined excerpts given below are
a part:
The winter months, January, Feb
ruary and March were spent in exten-
sion work of the three day courses at
number of points over the county,
with meetings of one day duration for
farmers at some distance from the
railroads. Mr.. Haw and Kristjansen
of the southern section of the county
collaborating in greater part of this
work of introducing up to date practi-
cal ideas of farming as brought out by
experimental investigation.
With the opening of spring CO.
operative plot demonstrations were
commenced, the preliminaries having
been arranged with a number of
farmers during the early part of the
year. The rotation plots of twelve
and 18 acres in former years were
reduced to six, enabling the giving of
more attention to details in the work.
The results were uniformly success
full in demonstrating effects of rota-
tion on different kinds of soil, and all
small grain plots showed quite an
excess of the average yield of the
crop that follows. There is apparently
quite large amount of home grown
seed still in the county that was held
over from the crop harvested and
ripened in the acreage of the previous
year. The frosts of June last sum-
mer and again in the fall. toward the
end of August not only killed corn
crop here, over which all were
enthusiastic, but all through the corn
growing area of the United States.
Alfalfa, one of the main lines of work
of the Better Farming movement
since started in this county in 1912,
made great strides during the past
year and plots varying in number
from twenty eight to over a hundred
have been demonstrating the growing
popularity of this fodder yearly, the
demonstrating plots averaging all the
way from one acre on the part Of the
beginner to the farmer who last year
cropped one hundred and fifty acres
Of alfalfa.
Referring to the hog cholera cpl
delnic in this county in his report Mr..
Haw states that last year it only

NonP Partisan league has created NC

paper.
Last week the Calvin Times very
properly saw to it that the western

rightful amount of credit for the pro-
minent place it occupied in the dis
play of exhibits of farm products at

produces the best sample of wheat

of sincerest appreciation of the many
kindnesses of thought and act that
have been extended to our home and
family by friends and neighbors of

occasioned by the death of our young
est daughter, Helen.

made its appearance in one locality
and definite outbreaks occurred only
on two farms, on both of which the
hogs were vaccinated Sanitary
precautions carefully carried out
prevented the furthur spread of the
disease to neighboring farms. In
eight trips made to farms where out
breaks of hog cholera were feared,
an investigation showed that the
trouble was of different nature in
eaun case.
The organization of a county Pure
Bred Live Stock Breeders association
may be considered as the outgrowth
of the interest that has been awaken
ed in this feature in farming. A
number of sires for herds have been
located and shipped in and pure bred
animals of many breeds of horses and
cattle have during the year found
their way into nearly every section
of the county. With the live stock
breeders of the county organized into
an association a permanent foundation
for further progress and upbuilding is
assured
The features of the year include
the encampment of farm boys held
the past summer for week on the
county fair grounds when instruction
was given along practical line on
both agriculture and educational work
for the boys on farms. Another is
the county prize farm contest, con.
Quoted in connection with the annual
county fair, in which to make it the
more permanent in interest trophy
cups now take the place of cash prizes.
This spring there is to be a county
wide campaign against the gopher
and noxious weeds, the actual war
fare of course being conducted mainly
during the months of June and July
The slaughter of the gopher pest
anticipated will be on wholesale lines
and the natural saving to crops will
aggregate into thousands of dollars.
About the eradication of the weed
pest the board of county commission
ers and the township board, with the
laws which the state empower them,
have a line of campaign outlined for
the coming summer that will take
the one much needed step to release
|sthe valuable acres of Cavalier county
farm land from the thralldom that
has infested the counties of the Red
River Valley of late years until their
cultivated acreage has been rendered
valueless to raise crops and of little if
any financial value. With the aid of
an authorized weed commissioner in
each township good account of what
will be accomplished the coming sum-
mer may be looked for.

Dear Doctor Z would be grateful
if you would advise me how my
brother could be cured the quickest
way of wood ticks. He had the trou-
got better but now has again been Bit
ten by the little insects from which
have developed an itch and sores that
do not readily heal.
(Knswer) The wood ticks or wood
lice as they are sometimes called,
abound in large woods and a t certain
times of the year attack animals and
man; some persons become more cas-
lily afflicted than others. They are
round and flat, have 8 feet, each con-
tanning two claws and the tentac1es
are armed in the same manner. For
that reason it is very difficult to get
rid of them after they once get a grip
on the skin. One rarely notices them
until they begin to- grow from the
sucking of blood from it's victim. The
bite is painless. If one tries to get
rid of them before they are ready to
loose their hold the tentacles are left
in the skin which give rise to quite
a painful and annoying Inflammation.
The best way to get rid of them is
to apply turpentine quite generously
In either case they must loosen their
hold and fall off. In but few cases
do they bore themselves i'll sufficient
ly far that the turpentine does not af-
feet them in which case the head
must be taken out with a, clean
needle or knife point. Have your
brother follow this method which he
will find very effective. Should there
be itch afterwaTd have him apply
little Witch Hazel.
