RECOGNIZED BRAND At ONCE
How Mrs. Schofield Knew That Daugh.
ter's Husband Had Not Hitherto
Been Carefree Bachelor.

Here is some inside dope on how to
tell married man. The system is
made known by Mrs. Anna SchOfield,
who has just helped her daughter Sc
cure an annulment of her marriage as
wife No. 2. Ma Schofeld says mar
riage brands man as plain as hot
iron on a cows hip. When her eagle
eye fell upon her new son-in-law she
declares that she saw Immediately
where the harness had rubbed. And
then she gave the formula: 'Iike all
average married men, my son-in-law
was>an artistic fiatterer in way about
things wives like to be lied to about. He
could praise coffee that everybody
knew was vile in such a way that it
tasted good. Like his brother bene
diets. he knew how to praise his wife's
taste. whether good or bad. If Il mar
ried man says something about another
something a little nicer about his wife.
That was my sOn-in-law. Take tears
for instance. Tears break newly and
sever-before-married mans heart. He
sets all excited about them. But they
rolled off that mans feelings like wa
ter off a duck. I kept quiet about my
suspicious until one day he and daugh-
ter were quarreling. He fought like a
married man. He knew when to talk
and when to shut up. After that de-
tcrmined to investigate his career."-

Curhind Raxaues of Aphis.

Announcement has been made by
the United States bureau of entOmol-
Ogy that great success has attended
the efforts to combat the spinach
aphis which seriously attacked the
truck crops of Virginia year after
year. This has been accomplished by
the introduction of the spotted lady
bird, which is said to have proved
very effective in keeping down the
aphis. The first efforts in this direc-
ton We're unsuccessful, owing to the
fact that there has been extensive re-
moval of trees and underbrush, and
this left no accommodations for the
Information of the lady birds, which
perished during the winter. This has
now been taken care Of and the raw
ages of the aphis greatly decreased.

There Was a Reason.

Speaking at a dinner the other night.
former Gov. Martin 81. Glyhn of New

for most things and told the following

colored party. "dey tole me dat 20

ARcroMYs MoNAx

We will have with us tomorrow Mr..
Arctomys MonaX, who for "a hours
at least is the most influential citizen
Of these United States.
Mr.. Monax is a member OF the well
known Marmot family OF South Car
DINA and all points north. His re-
latiyes. in fact, are scattered all the
way from Savannah to Lincoln, Neb.,
and to Atiwiski island. which is some
where in Hudson Bay.
"Chuch" Monax. to give him his
more familiar name. is the continents
weather dictator from Feb. to March
is. Not even the combined DEGREES
OF President Wilson and Premier
Borden could rescind the weather ord
ers which Chuch will issue on this
day.
"Groundhog,' we call him at this
time OF the year. but all the rest Of
the days he's known to most OF us as
wood chuck" and to the highbrCws
Of scientific mind as "Arctomys Mon
ak, the American Marmot."
Chuck, understand, isn't mere pro.
phet; he doesn't phrophecy; he die
tates If he sees his shadow when he
ventures from his Information hole
on Feb. 2, he scoots back and sends
word TO all the wild things and the
tree roots and the tiny blades of grass
and the waves and windlets: "Six
more weeks OF winter shall there
be-"
And all the faithful who believe in
Chuck's omnipotence gaze from their
kitchen windows at sun-up, and they
say: THE groundhogll see his shad-
ow today; no hope for an early
spring."
But il the grounding is wrong?
Tut, tut. friend; he's never wrong!
II you look out of your window on
Feb. 2 and think the grounding will
see his shadow, and nevertheless it
turns out that there is an early spring,
do you think that proves the ground
hog wrong?
Not at all!
1t simply proves you can't see
straight.

where the family got every dollar it
spent last year and how each penny
was spent. They want to know how
much food the family ate and how
much he spent for booze, whether the
''old man" drinks and how much he
spent for booze, whether the family
saved anything and II so, how much?

appropriating for the investigation
was put through at the insistence Of

constantly trying to find out how LIT

Continued from page 4.

iiOul poSC
this sketch is made a finished model
from modelling wax. Some men work
with small models; some with large.
1.-THE models l made for the coins
were ID or Is inches in diameter.
when this model is completed, it
is necessary to make reduced model
from it by means of mechanical de.
vice by which one needle traces the
large model, and another, connected
with it. but moving on reduced area,
reproduces the original. This reduced
model was, in this case, five times the
size of the coin. From this smaller
model. a bronze-alloy cast is made.
This cast is used by the mint iden.
tically as the original large model
was used to make ? further reduction
the exact size of the proposed coin.
This reduction is cut on soft steel
hub and the design is reproduced in
relief-not as a sunken model. This
steel relief is called the master die
although it is not die at all, but
simply a relief model.
''The steel of which it is made is
then tempered and made very hard;
is placed in a chuck and piece of
soft steel is forced down upon it, with
terrific pressure. This produces the
final die, which in turn is hardened,
and from it the coins are struck.
"These dies will strike from 100 to
1870 coins before being defaced. 1t is
necessary, therefore, continually to
take new dies from the master die to
keep up the coinage. ....-
"Only single stroke of the die ma
chine is necessary to make the i'm
preston.
1.-The metal for the coins is stamp
ed out from sheets of metal in the
form of banks. So delicately is this
machine adjusted that the blanks pro-
duced by it weigh exactly the stand
ard weight for the coin in question, to
a hair"

following resolution:

Presbyterian Church of Mandan,

day of January, nineteen Hundred

in liberty, we protest aga lst the
enactment of any laws which will

formances or moving picture

This action was taken after the
preaching of sermon by the Rev. w.
H. Hunter, D. D. of Fargo, and the
vote "a standing vote) Of the congre-
gation-which was a large and repre-.

estimate, at least eighty per cent (8O

did not agree with all of the resolu-
ton and a number were. possibly, op-
posed to the resolution.
