Trade Course in Dressmaking at the
School of Forestry.

In line with the plans of the State
Board of Regents, and with the re-
quirements of the Educational Sur
vey, the School Of Forestry is offering
a trade course in dressmaking start
ing March Goth. The course is SER
les of carefully graded lessons in de-
signing, drafting, cutting, fitting,
making and trimming of ladies and
children's garments. The work will be
upon REAL GARMENTS, made Of
cotton, linen, silk and wool, since each
textile presents new problems.
Girls who are taking this course
will be permitted the choice as to
whether they furnish the material and
retain the clothes made, or whether
the school furnish the materials and
retain the clothes.
The small registration fee Of $500
charged for the six weeks will be the
only expense. A comparison with the
ordinary fees charged by schools in
connection with commercial dressmak-
ing shops will show how relatively
small fee the school is charging.
From the standpoint of personal
appearance girls cannot afford to miss
this chance. Strangers, and even our
friends, Judge us largely by our
dress. Can you afford to miss this op-
portunity to be we'll dressed at min
imum of cost? Hired sewing is a
heavy expense to the ordinary fam
lily. Can you afford to miss this op-
portunity to fit yourself so as to elm
mate this expense in your own fam
lily? Dressmaking from CONNER
cial standpoint, will yield good finan-
cial results to any we'll trained woman
with ordinary business ability. Can
you afford to miss this opportunity to
make yourself financially independ-
ent? We are giving you the oppor-
tunity, what will you do with it?
Just think of it! A six weeks course
in dressmaking for $500.
If you wish for further information
about this course, or about rooms, etc.

Persons desiring to take this course
should write us as soon as possible.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
live STOCK MEETING

About one hundred farmers attend
ed the meeting of the Bottineau Coun-
ty Shorthorn Breeders association
held at the Commercial Club rooms
Wednesday afternoon. The meeting
was addressed by Mr.. A. f. Chamber
lain, Service Commissioner for the
Dakota Farmer. Mr.. Chamberlain
fully lived up to the reputation he
bears of being one of the best agri-
cultural speakers Of the northwest and
his discussion of the subject of live
stock in diversified farming was CIV
en- most attentive and appreciative
hearing by all present.
Mr.. Chamberlain is a lucid logical
speaker who carries his audience with
him from the star, having had many
years of personal experience as a
farmer and livestock grower in the
Dakotas. He is peculiarly fitted for
the advocacy Of the diversifcation
idea he so ardently presents. Every
one present seemed pleased with the
talk and agreed with the speaker in
his presentation of the subject.
A meeting Of the directors of the
association was held at the close Of
the meeting, at which it was decided
to offer a special premium in the
Shorthorn class at the County Fair
and to hold livestock picnic about
June goth, Bottineau being tentative
ly selected as the place of holding this
event, possibly at the fair grounds.

A Challenge to Garden.

Editor Bottineau Courant:
Some time ago I challenged the
Hon. E. L. Garden to meet me in open
debate in the town hall in Landa on
the question "Resolved that H. B. a.
would be a better constitution for
North Dakota than our present con-
stitution." I was to uphold the af-
firmative side of the question and he
was to uphold the negative. I re-
served the right, however, to appoint
one Judge and he was to appoint one
and leave the remaining Judge to be
chosen by the two already chosen.
Up to the present time I have not
heard from Mr.. Garden. I would
like to hear from this gentleman
either accepting to meet me in de-
bate or declining to do so.
Mr.. Gardens moral and "progres-
sive" personality will not be sullied
or spoiled if he meets me in open de-
bate, as I am neither an anarchist
socialist or "soap box agitator," but
am a progressive democrat and believe
that the people should get what
they want, as they plainly showed that
they wanted H. B. A.
Hoping that Mr.. Garden will now
have enough gentlemanly courtesy
about him to reply, either accepting
or declining to meet me and letting
him and the rest of his political
challengers know that I believe in the
majority ruling and not the minority
! as was shown in our recent state sen.
ate, I am,
| Sincerely yours,
-. T. D. Acheson.
