in the state of North Dakota by the
1915 census, and therefore, the COVER
nor Of this state received the vote OF
Ia per cent of the people.
The speaker maintained that it was
clearly the intention of the people of
this state in drafting the constitution
not to permit revision of 1t in the
manner proposed in III. B. No. A. II
the people of our state required so
much care in amending any one Sec
ton or line Of the constitution, and
required such amendment to be SUBJ
mitted to two successive legislative
assemblies for approval, and then to
the people, surely it cannot be suc-
cessfully argued that the people i'm
tended that the entire constitution
could be revised by the legislature and
then submitted to the people.
The speaker then objected to the
sweeping language of section "a OF the
proposed constitution, in which the
state was authorized to engage in any
occupation or business. He objected
to the constitutional provision which
made it possible to loan the sacred
trust fund of the schools to specula-
tive enterprises, and claims that there
was between $25,000,0CO and $50, 00O.-
600 in this fund that could be loaned
in this manner; and he objected to
the blue sky limit Of Indebtedness.
He paid compliment to the COVER
nor of the state, with whom he had
been in school. He then closed by
summarizing his argument and point
ed out the importance OF government.

fore q radical change Is made in it, es-
pecially in view OF the cost in blood
and money of our forefathers. He
said that our constitutions has been
copied by all the republics in the
western hemisphere. and even In Eu-
rope, and that they would be a model
for many new governments after the
great European war, when the people
would come into their own. He closed
with a tribute to North Dakota.

GOOD ROAD WORK IN WINTER
lem Confronting Farmer-Mak. ing Split-Loo Drag.

One of the problems confronting the farmer is the question of maintenance of dirt roads. Not only should dirt roads be maintained during the spring and summer months, but the winter months as well; especially is this true where there is not an overabundance of snow, which conditions exist with many of our readers.
 The King road drag may be used with much benefit during the winter months, just after thaws or rains. of the year because the soil Is crum- bly, or mealy and pushes easily toward the center of the road.
 If the road has been properly cared for during the summer and fall, 1t will be only a slight task to drag 1t dur ing the winter when conditions are right. At that season of the year there Is little for the work team to do and In early spring the roads will be in shape to turn water and permit of early drying. In fact, the winter dragged roads will be dry and hard in the spring when neglected roads will be soft, rutty and springy. There is no best time to drag roads. Go after the work and then drag whenever you can during the winter; then your roads will be in good shape next spring. Make a split-log road drag and keep it going on the highway.
 D. Ward King, the inventor of the drag, gives the following directions for making a split-log drag: Take the two halves of a split log, ten or twelve inches thick and seven to nine feet long. Set the halves fiat sides to the front, fasten 30 inches apart with strong stakes, the ends of which are wedged in two-inch auger holes. bored through the slabs. Put a solid plank platform on the stakes for the driver to stand on. The hitch is made of strong wire or chain, the long end fastened to stake over the top of the front slab, the short end should be put through a hole made in center of the slab and near the end to prevent the back slab tilting forward. Face four or five feet of the ditch end of the front slab with iron. An old wagon tire, worn share of road grader, or any piece of flat steel will answer for this purpose.
 As a general rule, always haul the drag at an angle of 45 degrees, nov ing the dirt to the center of the road.

CHURCH TO HELP GOOD ROADS
Women Do Much Toward Fill ing Insane Asylums.

In a lecture on ''The Church. and Good Roads" the Rev. James Thomas told the ministers conference ia Den. yer, Colo, that, "The isolation and sol. itary confinement of the farm wife and the farm servant girl do much toward making these women form a consid- erable percentage of the inmates of in. sane asylums."
 The speaker continued, "The goo6 roads problem Is one to which the church must very soon give material atteLtion." The church is a force in any undertaking and good roads en- thusiasts will welcome it's efforts in be- half of rural welfare.-HoustOn Post.

IMPORTANT DUTY OF PEOPLE
Prompt Repair and Careful Mainten- ance of Good Roads Is Essential
 Farmer Is interested.

The making of good roads is one of the most important duties of the American people, and their prompt repair and careful maintenance is es- sential.
 There is probably no subject iD which the progressive farmer is more deeply interested than that of having roads connecting him with his mar kets, over which he may be able to haul the greatest possible load.

 ferent fiavors in the frostings. By adding richness and flavor to a cake. frosting has long list of things in its favor.
 The uncoOked frostings are especial ly economical in the time saved in the preparation. The fiavoring is entirely preserved in the frosting as the heat in baking destroys much of the volatile favors.
 While the cake Is cooling the frost ing should be made. and if it is to be served at once. the kind of frosting best to use is the uncooked one, using the white of an egg. beaten; adding an equal volume of water or fruit juice and powdered sugar to the consistency to spread. If it must stand, cover with damp cloth. If fruit juice is not used, any flavor desired may be add ed with the water.
 Plain Boiled Frosting-Beat the white of an egg until light and while beating. have cooking cupful of sugar and 6 quarter of cupful of water. when the sirup Is honeylike in consist ency pour three tablespoonfuls over the beaten egg, continue beating, and continue cooking the sirup until 1t hairs. then pour the remainder over the egg slowly and beat until stifY enough to put on the cake. A frosting made in this way will keep longer, will have a shiny surface and a creamy consistency underneath.
 When frosting is overcooked and be- comes too hard after beating. add a little lemon juice, boiling water or cream; very small amounts will make the frosting smooth. If 1t Is too thin add a little powdered sugar to thicken 1t. The frosting will not be as good, but better than to try to use 1t too thin.
 Atmospheric conditions often play havoc with boiling sugar. A damp rniny day the frosting is apt to be sucky. even when boiling as usual.
