LIS uouRn Has LIp.

The nut of paradise is SO called by
the natives Of the upper reaches OF
the Amazon in reference to the heav-
en-like tranquility of the regions
where it is found. Difficulties Of trans
portation make it little known to the
outside world, and unfortunately, for
1t is a worthy Mnorsel indeed.
The nuts grow in gourd-like pods
holding a score or two of kernels each
These pods dangle inverted from the
branches. On the under side there is
a close fitting plug which. originally
an integral part of the shell, is forced
cut by the nuts within as they swell
to maturity, says the Scientific Amer
lean. There finally ensues anexplos-
ion much like that familiar to every
country boy through the behavior of
witch hazel, which tumbles "lid" and
nuts to The ground together. Here the
nuts either decay or go to feed the
monkeys, or occasionally are harvest
ed by one of the rare nut-gatherers
for the bazars of Amazon towns like
'Ikiki and Ilxitos.
This strange nut. so far as we know,
affords the only instance in nature of
a gourd that grows It's own lid. The
natives take advantage OF this pecul-
iarity in gathering the paradise nut,
the discarded plug, restore
1t to its place over a shell fifilled with
nuts and fixing 1T there with a turn
or two OF wire around the entire pack
age.

BACK TO
FARM A
REALITY
Borchert Thinks Period Of
Unusual Changes is
+. Near at Hand.

Jamestown, N. D.. March 19.-An
unparalleled back to the farm" move
ment is predicted by County Agent A.
F. Borchert, agricultural expert, who
has recently been active in many
farmers meetings conducted through
out Stutsnan and surrounding coun-
ties.
THE high cost Of living will drive
workingmen from the cities into the
rural communities" said Mr.. Borchert.
THE highest wages in the history Of
the country are being paid today but
with the cost Of living advancing
daily the laborer has less at the end
Of the month than a decade ago. Prac-
tically everything he earns Is paid out
for food and clothing.
There can be but one result from
a condition of this kind, and that is q
greater attention to farming. This af-
fords a splendid opportunity for
North Dakota to secure settlers. A
better opening has never been pre-
sented the state and the advantage
will be taken as a certainty. North
Dakota Is famed as an agricultural
state in the first class and settlers
viii naturally be attracted in this d.
rection."
Mr.. Borchert believes the middle
west and northwest should look to
the east for new settlers. He asserts
it is a waste Of time and energy to
attempt to attract the westerner, for
he already knows the advantage OF
this section. With the fastener It is
different He Is used to farming on
lands where stumpage must be con-
tended with continually and the broad
prairies OF North Dakota afford q
happy medium. In the east especial
ly in the mountainous districts, hard
substances tend to make the work
discouraging and he firmly believes
that more settlers will be attracted to
North Dakota year by year.

Timely Hint for the Home Gardner

would do we'll to look over his garden
plot. decide on the best location for
each vegetable, and determine how
much seed he will require Tor the, space
available for each variety. -.
He will find it helpful to make a
rough plan of his garden on a large
sheet of wrapping paper. On this plan
he can indicate the spaces to be used
for each variety and also by means of
colored pencils or symbols show where
second crop is to be planted or inter-
also arrange for the second and third
crops which are to follow those previ-
ously harvested. Such plan will ena-
BILE him to keep the garden busy all
season supplying fresh vegetables dur
ing the summer and producing in the
late fall root and other crops for win
ter use. Once the heavy preliminary
spading and working of the garden has
been done, It is about as easy to raise
two or three crops as to keep the gar
den clean of weeds to produce. only one
picking. The specialists advise those
who are not used to gardening or wish
to have their children take an interest
in the garden to hire a laborer to do

new PLAN
ON SCHOOL
. PROPOSED
North Siders Abandon Two
Building Theory for Re-
pair of burned Building.

With the announcement of the three
retiring members Of the board of
education that they will be candidates
for reelection. and the nomination of
rival candidates for the places at a
meeting of residents of the north side
Of the city held on Saturday night, the
school campaign in this city may be
said to be under way.
The entire campaign hinges on the
high school proposition-on whether
there should be new building erect
ed on the site of the school burned on
the night of Dec. 27: whether two
buildings should be erected. one on the
north and one on the south side, or
whether the damaged building should
be reconstructed.
The meeting Of the north side resi-
dents, which was held in Aaker's hall
and was attended by about thirty
residents, adopted a resolution favor
ing the reconstruction of the partially
destroyed structure.
