a perfect woman only as she shut her

not now to be considered unimportant

the washing of the dishes or the sew

important little things with which every
life is hampered. They are the things
which must be done, and done with
dispatch, but without soul waste The
wife today has become more than the
keeper of her mans linen; she is his
good comrade and chum; she not only
binds up the wounds of his spirit but
she advises him in his business; she is
his perfect mate the other half of him.

there are many unexplored joys which

The future will also behold the day
of the perfect mother, who is not only
the giver of life but the guardian of
the spirit; not merely the keeper of the
body, but the inspiration of the soul
In all the history of the world there
have been few perfect mothers, and in
this, the commonest business of a wom-
ans life there lies unlimited possibili-
les. The realm of motherhood is so
expansive that the eyes Of women can
not see across its confines because it

her path during these later years with
an almost magical swiftness. She is not
hampered by her sex as her grand
mother was She can strike out on her
own initiative and pluck her laurels with
bare hands. To some, this is a sad and
unfortunate thing, but only to those
who have not the gift of understanding,
and who cannot comprehend the SEN
tence Blessed is the man who has found
his work" To the women who have
struggled up from the marshes Of gen
erations of inactivity, the new life is
wonderful and inspiring; to the women
who have found their work it is like
a gift from the hand of God.
With the dawn of this new year the
words "Old Maid" have been erased
from the dictionary of the feminine
Never again will the world be numbered
with old maid" those pitiful, shut in
starving martyrs whose lives were as
bleak and grey as the desert sands be-
cause the age-old customs compelled them
to sit with folded hands and idle brains.
Now the unmarried woman searches for
her task and finding it, does it with
right goodwill and much cheer. If her
evenings are lonely she has the morrow
and her tasks to look forward to; if
her heart is sometimes hungry, as wom-
ems hearts are apt to be, she has a
palliative in the work which her hands
and brain have found to do. From the
odd Maid" the unmarried woman has
developed into one of the mainstays of
the modern world; no longer dependent
upon the charity of relatives or friends
she has become working force for the
betterment of humanity and all her days
are made glad because she has found the
blessedness of work
But to no other class of women does
the new year offer more opportunities
and more joys than to the wife and
mother, the keeper of the hearthfres of
he world, the one type of the feminine
which will never disappear and whose
influence is the greatest of any other
lass under the sun. A fuller life is

DAWN IN THE WORLD OF WOMEN
\ OR women. the new year dawns
~ with rosy glow of promise, and
N alluring glimpses of unexplored

paths IN the vista of the near
future. Blessed is the man who has
found his work" says Carlisle, Let him
ask no other blessedness" When the
author wrote those words they did not
apply to women, for then, with the ex-
ception of the fortunate few, there was
but one task for a woman to do and
it did not require any searching to find
that; it was laid out for her even
before her birth, and whether she liked
it or not it was the task at which
she must work. But the world has
changed and is changing still for
women. They are no longer compelled
to sit in the valley where the shadows
of stagnation and old age gather so
swiftly, but are beginning to climb up
the mountainside and their eyes are on
the summit where the sunshine of life
fingers longest. Woman is no longer a
mere mite in the collective bundle of
the feminine; she has become, like man,
an individual. She is no longer a chat
tel, but free creature no longer a
mere breeder of children, but the mother
of men; no longer mistress, but a
comrade of man. With each new year
the future for her grows brighter, and
no matter what her work or station she
can lift her eyes and see new opportuni-
ties ever before her.
While woman has always been a
worker, she has not long been a doer
Today, however, there is scarcely a field
where she may not stand an equal
chance with a man. She now has the
magnificent privilege Of choosing her
own life task. She may become a jour
nalist, sculptor, a painter, a decorator,
a preacher teacher, a lawyer, broker,
a buyer or seller in the busy marts of
trade. Wherever her talents call her
she may follow without fear 1t is no
unusual thing for the most insignificant
in the basement of the big de-
partment store to become the foreign
of the establishment at a sal
airy which many a man might envy. [
The callow cash girl in the small res t
-aurant has the chance to become the I
equal of the greatest lady in the land. a
All she needs is the perseverance and
he courage; all she must do is to fol 4

poorest of men, have climbed to the a

infinite caution and tact, and must guide
them Alright while but seeming to walk
stand that it is better to give them
less of her cooking and more of her self;
to admonish them less and to live with
them more; to spend less time on the
adjoining of their bodies and more on
the adjoining of their minds The task
which the 1916 mother has before her
Is the greatest the most important and
the most interesting in the world, for
what is there that can compare with
the shaping of a human soul? And for
this work the mothers of today and to-
morrow must have a wider outlook:
they must come out from the walls of
their homes and view the conditions
which are to confront their sons and
daughters when they fly from the home
nest; they must see things with clear
eyes, and most of all they must take an
interest in the big things of life and
put the trivial things into unimportant
places. This is what they are begin
ming to realize and what they are be-
ginning to do. Everywhere we see the
evolution of woman going on In the
city and on the farm, in every hamlet
the women are looking up and forward
In the cities they are spending less time
with frivolities and more in works of
charity, philanthropy and sociological
investigation; in the small towns they
are taking an interest in municipal af-
fairs, in the questions which affect their
husbands and sons and therefore them
sleeves; in the country the farm women
are organizing rural clubs, and perfect
ing the rural school and the rural social
lifting her eyes from the earth to the
stars, and is welcoming with
delight the dawn of her glorious new
day. And with this day she is putting
the small things of life in their proper
place and keeping the big things before
her Thus, though she may know it not,
she will discover the lost fountain of
eternal youth, for to the soul that has
ound the blessedness of the task it
owes, there is no such thing as old age.

Dean BabcOck Hon.
Ored by Appointment

Dean E. ]. Babcock of the college
of mining engineering of the state
university, has been appointed by
government officials at Washington,
D. c., as director for North Dakota
of the national industrial survey.
The selection is eminently fitting,
as there are, by technical training and
extensive service on scientific, engi-
neering and industrial problems, few
men more thoroughly familiar with
the industrial possibilities and re-
sources of the northwest, and particu-
larly of North Dakota, than is Dean
Babcock.
This national industrial survey,
when completed, should be of very
great value to the government and to
the country as an aid in stimulating
greater development Of resources and
diversifcation of industries, matter
of the utmost Importance to the coun-
try in general and especially to North
Dakota.

PRAIRIE FIRES IN DUNN co.

Dunn Center, N. D., May 1.-THE
north country experienced bad
prairie fire which burned through a
strip of about ten miles in length and
so fast did the blaze travel that it
was impossible to head it off with
bac kfires, and it continued to travel
until it brought up at the edge Of a
plowed field.
Hundreds of acres of splendid hay
land was burned over and thus ruin
ed for the season, and considerable
damage was caused to settlers, Mrs.
Augusta Akers probably being the
heaviest loser. Her farm was direct
ly in the path of the head fire and it
was only by diligent work that the
dwelling and chicken coop were saved,
while she lost ten pigs, al lof her chick
ems and ducks, 300 fence posts, straw
barn, hog house and pen and a stack
of hay.
1t was fortunate for her that Bill
Baker was present at the time, doing
repair work on the house, and it was
mainly through his efforts that the
dwelling and chicken coop were saved.
The fire originated on the Guy Nor
rison farm from a straw stack that
had been set afire several days pre-
vious.

ments was joined this week by that of
Larkin c. Hart, who places his can
candidacy before the voters of the
Second Commissioners District for
member of the county board. The dis
trict has been represented by A. p.
Hegge, whose term has expired and
who has declared that he will not be

people of the Second District are very
fortunate in having an oportunity to
vote for man of the type of Mr..
Hart, who, during his long residence
has shown himself an energetic and
public spirited citizen, we'll informed
on matters of public interest and al
ways willing to do his part. Mr..
Hart, if elected, will undoubtedly
make competent and satisfactory
commissioner.

"MY FLAG"

Under the word "Mine" and beau

tiOnal banner, the North Dakota state
railroad commission is sending the fol-
lowing sentiment if true citizenship.
to North Dakota:
'In this country there is just one
right basis for political action. That
basis is neither race, nor creed, nor
sex, nor wealth, nor occupation. It is
just American citizenship. To add to-
or substract from that, in relation to,
any of the things affecting our pub

principles on which the American ma
