LONDON. June 2O.-(By Maid 1t
has all happened so gradually in Eng
land that no one has particularly no
ticed il. But If you have been away
from London for six months, you find
upon your return that the last half
year has utterly changed the lives of
Englishmen.
Suppose, for instance, that your
town were London. What would the
war have done to it? Or to your home
life? And how would you take these
changes?
Would you be satisfied II half the
matches you bought didn't light be
cause the sticks broke or the sulphur
tips were absent? And II the price
on matches went up. in spite OF this
Or how would you take II II the coal
man didn't make his deliveries and
you found your home coalless some
raw morning?
Or, suppose the government put IL
cense tax Of $95 year on your little
paid only $500? And gasoline went up
to 80 cents a gallon?
Suppose your morning newspaper
kept getting smaller and smaller
week by week. because the newspaper
supply was getting low?
Suppose for every dollar you made
you had to turn over a dime 10 the
government for war purposes. just as
an income tax, not including the many
small taxes you would pay on almost
everything consumed i'm your home?
] Would you be bothered?
Strangely enough. II you had the
spirit Of this new England yol
wouldn't Your whole idea would b'
TO beat Germany. and that idea woulr
keep your attention so closely riveteI

II is difficult for a neutral 10 un
derstand this unless Sc is on thu
ground. but II you had the new Eng
land spirit-and such spirit hai
grown up within the last six months
and reaches down TO the very core o
/ English feand your town were

conveniences that appear almost un
beliovable TO you.
There's beefsteak at forty-two cents

THE MENACE OF MOHAM-
 MEDANISM

One of the greatest enemies of Christianity is Mohammedanism, and the following facts taken from the World Outlook will be of interest:
 Every eighth person in the world is Mohammedan.
 From one to five times day two hundred million of the human race turn their faces toward Mecca and repeat the prayer: There is but one God and Mahommet is his prophet.
 The slogan of the Moslem to- day is Africa for Islam. '
 Each Moslem trader is a mis- sionary of his faith. Penetrat- ing every nook and corner of the dark continent he is en- listing new adherents by the hundreds of thousands. Mo- hammedanism is spreading three times more rapidly in Africa than is Christianity. For every thirty-three natives who become Christian, one hundred become Mohammedans.
 Slavery, polygamy and the demoralization of charact e r during the twelve centuries of Moslem control have made north Africa a moral desert.
 Lying is a fine art in Moslem lands. Mohammed declares, "A lie is allowable in three cases - to women, to reconcile friends, and in war.
 Moslem 'holy cities" are cen

BEDDING

IL lldS Deell SOillt llllic SliiCc yc scribe scrubbed anything to The Spectator, hence 1 again send in a few scattering notes from this section. It is indeed dis couraging to a fellow when he sends in an article and takes the liberty. as others do. to express his opinion on some leading question, to have it left out. then to see articles by his opponents given space. However, we should have a forgiving spirit, but even that has a limit.
 Weather cold here at this writ ing. Last Thursday was per haps the coldest weather here in four years.
 About two weeks ago the death angel visited the home of Mrs. Vickey Ketchem and took away Martha, one of the bright est jewels, not only of that home, but the neighborhood as well. Martha was indeed an exception, good, obedient. kind. loving and true. If she ever had a fault or an enemy l never heard of it. She was loved by all who were acquainted with her. She bore her suffering with patience. She will indeed be missed, not alone by relatives, but by school mates and associates. She was buried at the Bedding cemetery. Elder J. H. McMillan conducted the funeral service.
 Weep not, her friends that yet
 on earth do roam.
 For she is blessed like all the
 rest that's gone to that Heav-
 enly home.
 She is singing that glad sweet
 song.
 She has no cares or pain.
 We hope some good day to be up there
 When we will see her face again.
 On last Thursday the remains of Mir. Bob Turner was buried at the Bedding cemetery where others of his family are buried. Bob, it Is remembered, was reared on Big Mulberry. where he had many relatives and friends. About two years ago he with his family went to Oklahoma. where he took sick. We are indeed sorry to hear of his death, as he was a splendid citizen and excellent neighbor. Mrs. Jennie Tompkins. of Ozark, and other relatives of the family came to Bedding with his rs- mains.
 Uncle Jasper Milton, one of the old pioneer citizens of Big Mulberry and a resident of near Cass, was buried at the Enon cemetery Saturday. Most everybody well knew Uncle Jasper, as he was called, as an ideal citizen, a splendid neigh bor, honest and worthy in every respect. His many friends unite with relatives in mourning his death. He was indeed a landpark that cannot be re- placed.

A LITTLE ADVICE ON FARM.
 INC

i farming and making a reason able success, 1 feel like a little advice on farming might help some of my brother farmers, and if so, 1 shall feel more than paid.
 said 6S years, yes, 1 well remember my father put me to breaking out corn middles with a young horse that had never been plowed. The horse would get wrong and so would 1, and you can guess we had time of it.
 Back to the subject. In the first place. break your land just as deep as the soil will permit. There is lot of land in this country that won't bear break ing more than five inches deep, while other land will bear 7 or 8 inches, and you will find that 2 or 8 inches is deep blowing for this country. Break as early as possible. 1 most always turned my land in the fall before vege- tation was killed, turning every thing under. 1 planted corn for 20 years as near the 10th of March as 1 could, and never planted too early but twice. My land would make 20 to 30 bush- els per acre. made my rows 8 feet and 9 inches. Some one will want to know why. Because used double shovels and that is as wide a row as they will blow out good. On my best land 1 dropped two grains in one row and one in the other. Some one will say 1 make my rows 3 feet and drop one grain. We'll, my brother. do you know how many stalks you have per acre? Near 4900, about twice as many as the average land will support in this country. Besides, when you blow with double shovel you lose one-fourth of your time. When you blow thru and turn back, the rear blow has nothing to do. You never want rows closer than 3 feet and 9 inches. 1 began blowing my corn as near the 2Oth of April as I could. and on the 5th of May, 20th of May. and on the 5th of June 1 would lay-by, sowing peas ahead of blows, one bushel to five acres. To make a long story short-If your land will bring 20 bushels, have 1000
  stalks per acre, if 25 bushels. 25O0, and so on. Always plant for a drouth. If you don't have it. you will make plenty of corn.
 If you do, you will make more than to have it thick. With first blowing l used 4-inch blade next to corn, and 6-inch in middle, blowing reasonably deep. Next time 6-inch blades, not quite so deep, about the same. three times. To lay-by. used l6-inch sweep next to corn without dis turbing the roots, and 6-inch blade in middle. l think level cultivation best. l have raised IA bales of cotton on 13 acres of land that would bring 25 or 30 bushels corn per acre. But can't tell you how to raise cotton un- less l knew how the seasons would be. The only thing I can say is. to get good stand and keep the weeds and grass down. Crowd it on thin land. It's the only thing that will bear crowd ing on thin land. In regard to the time to plant-I used to be like the old lady in conversation with the young lady. The young lady said her husband never planted cotton till the 10th of May. Said he could save al working. The old lady said. Yes, and picking" We'll, if you can. save working and al picking. if you don't get quite

DORM|TOR|ES FOR
BUSINESS COLLEGE
Bismarck Institution Will Have
Rooms and Eating Place for
Its Students. ..
SERVICE WILL BE
FIRST CONSIDERATION

Work now under way on the inter
Tor of the original St. Alexius hospi
tai building soon will give to Bis
marck one Of the most efficient Dusl
ness colleges in the northwest. The
hospital building is excellently de-
signed for the new use to which it is
to be put, and very little alteration
will be necessary to transform it in
to modern educational plant.
The Bismarck Business college will
occupy the entire structure, three
stories and basement. The main floor
will be used for recitation rooms, as
sembly rooms, business practice, Of
fees and reception rooms. The equip
ment which will be installed in the
department devoted to business prac-
tice is to be of the highest type, and
this section will exactly duplicate a
high grade banking house and COM
mercial Office. The room which is
to be devoted to stenography will be
large, airy and well-lighted, and will
comfortably accommodate classes of
$50 to 200.
aDormitories for Seventy.
The second and third floors will be
transformed into dormitories for the
students, with living quarters for
Professor and Mrs. r. II. Boyd, who
will act as foster parents to the
young people outside of school hours.
Sleeping Accommodations will be pro
vided for 20 pupils. The rooms are
we'll arranged for this purpose, and
only little freshening up will be re-
quired to place them in first class
condition.
Ultimately the basement will be
turned into a cafe for the benefit Of
the students, and meals will be serv
ed at cost, enabling those who desire
to reduce their living expenses. The
dormitory, in conjunction with the
cafe, and with much of the work done
on the club plan which has been
adopted in connection with many Of
the large universities will enable the
Bismarck Business college to offer
board and lodging at as low price
as can be procured anywhere in the
country, and this will be a decided
asset in the case of prospective stu
dents whose means are limited.
