Sewing Hint-When stitching pock-
cts on aprons. skirts, ETC., you will find
that they will not rip off as easily If
the stitching is begun about half an
inch from the top. stitch upward. then
turn downward. When you come to
the other side stitch downward the

Feather Advice.-Never sun feather
beds or feather pillows. Air them on
windy day IN cool place. The sun
draws the OIL, and tho feathers will
have rancid smell If they remain ~

SKATING on ICE.
lttIs Possible Only Because Of the Mslt.
5 =. ina Under Pressure.

4 ing Under Pressure.
Ask the average man or boy,
"Why is such glorious freedom Of
movement possible on ice and on
nothing ,else?" and the chances are
ten to one that you will get the an
swer, Because the ice is so smooth"
But is that the reason? DR.. Jolly
sin Z; tEejbsifq Ryys 4,nA;
lin|sp ciety pointed Out That polished
glass is much smoother than rough
ened ice, yet we can skate on Che
ice, whereas on the glass it would
be impossible. He proved by inter-
esting experiments that we, must
seek further for an explanation.
His solution, arrived at only after,
the most careful investigation, is
that we, owe the ability to skate to
the fact that ice melts under pres.
sure. -
The part Of the skate that bears
on the ice presents very narrow
surface, and on this surface comes
the whole weight of the body. That
pressure causes the ice to melt in
simultaneously, and the thin film Of
water between the blade Of the
skate and the ice serves the same
purpose as the film of oil that we
run between the working parts Of
machinery-it greatly reduces the
friction. Immediately after .sthe
skater passes on the water film so
idifies again into ice, ready for the
next skater who comes along; hence
Dr.4sJolys concludestt that we really
skate not on ice, but on water. 4
Nature gives us.'in this way. a.
fabrication far and away ahead Of
anything man has been able to
make. Ill.,.
Have you ever noticed that the
colder it is the harder it is to skate?
That is because the ice melts less
readily under pressure. DR.. Jolly
apparently did not know that skat-
ing Kinks are now in existence
where ice is not used. Instead We
have a surface composed largely Of
salt. If you know anything Of the
nature Of salt, however, you will
find that his theory holds good in
that case as it does in the case Of
ice, and in neither case is skating
made possible by the smoothness Of
the surface.:-Youth's Companion.

DAKOTAN. TELLS
HOW GERMANS
WRECK SHIPS
Buchanan Youth Writes
Censored Letter Giving
Graphic Account.

Jamestown, N. d. May Sin a let
ter to relatives in the vicinity OF
Buchanan, N. D., youth whose name
is withheld by the censor writes an
interesting account of the precautions
taken by the German on interned ships
to destroy and dismantle the vessels
and equipment so that they cannot be
used against Germany in the world
war. The mildly" is now stationed
on a German informed ship at a port
somewhere on the Atlantic coast"
Although the letter is strictly censored
the following extracts give an inter-
esting account of the plots attempted
by the Germans:
For the last two weeks we have
been stationed on the informed Ger
man 49, and the 49,. We moved
them from the far side of the river
over into the reserve basin, using gov
ernment tugs. The -- was the first
moved. The day previous govern
ment tug went alongside to look over
the job and while steaming slowly at
the rate of but few knots an hour
the captain heard a scraping on the
bottom of his boat. They dragged and
found mine the Germans had laid
alongside so that If the boat was NOV
ed it would hit it.
"The tug didn't happen to hit the
contact points and that saved her.
When we united the lines that held
her to the dock it was found that the
Germans had constructed automatic
sea valves and when the lines were
cast off the releasing of the pressure
opened the valves on the starboard,
causing the ship to flood on that side.

This resulted in her listing so that
her whole upper deck could be seen
from the shore, some IL to is degrees
from an upright position.
Then we went back and moved the
-. When we brought her over we
started unloading her. She had IL
ive-inch guns and plenty of ammuni-
ton. The Germans had thrown the
breech locks of these guns overheard
to prevent their use. They had en-
ough army rifles and shells to equip
500 to 500 infantry men. Altogether
we collected 40 bombs from different
parts of the ship, and some 200 car
loads of Berlin beer and wine. The
engines, when examined. were found
fixed to "T." Each cylinder was
filled with powdered emery and on the
top of each cylinder head was bottle
OF nitro glycerine, so arranged that on
the first upright stroke Of the piston
it would explode. At present about
twenty men are stationed aboard the
ship to guard it.
Some person sneaked aboard the
night before last and all efforts to
locate him have failed. A company of
marines searched the ship but could
not discover the man. Now they play
searchlights about these ships all
night. Submarines and aeroplanes are
daily sights here"

new CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOL At BUCKEYE
School, Only Three Months Old
Destroyed But Promptly Re-
placed by Another.

Bismarck, N. D., May ga year ago
Buckeye township, in Kidder county,
completed a fine new consolidated
school. Three months after it's dedica-
ton it was completely destroyed by
fire. There was little insurance.
Buckeye is not rich community. The
blow was a severe one. But Buckeye
had found with a brief trial that the
consolidated school is good. 1t refused
to permit adversely to deprive it OF the
benefits of consolidation. The Buck
eyes got together and agreed to tax
themselves for the construction of an
other school, even a little better than
the one whose use they had enjoyed
such a short time.
Tomorrow the new school, rising
on the ashes of the old, will be dedicat-
ed with appropriate exercises by Gov.
Lynn J. Frazier and N. G. Macdonald.
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton. The Buckeye dedication is
scheduled for the evening. In the aft
ernoon the governor and state super
intendent will offlciate at a similar
ceremony in honor of the opening of
an excellent town and country con-
solidated school at Robinson, another
progressive Kidder county community.
The Buckeye school wiz draw its en-
tire attendance from farm homes. and
90 per cent of the pupils attending the
Robinson school will be from rural
families. Both institutions will do high
school as well as grade work.
From Buckeye, the state superin-
tendent will proceed to Towner coun-
ty, where he will dedicate a fine town
and country consolidated school at
Egeland. Towner county ranks first
among all in the state in the percent
age of it's pupils attending consolidat-
ed schools.

Justice James z. Robinson of the

persuade congress that II can accomp-
lish more by boosting the private SOL
| dier's pay to $50 the month than II
can In the passage of a dozen con-
scription bills.
The venerable justice has overlooked
| no bets. Appeals have gone forth to
the president, the secretary of war,
members of congress. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and others who should be
! interested in the soldiers welfare.
To Colonel Roosevelt Justice Robin
| son wrote: I'VE judges of the su-
preme court of North Dakota are dis
posed to do all in our power to induce
congress to pass an act giving the
soldiers at least $50 a month. / would
like to hear from you on this subject
and would like to know what can be
done. Every one comedies that the
soldier should have at least $50 a
month. Indeed, he should have twice
| f1fty-and you know that is true. Now
what can be done to induce congress
to pass an act giving the soldier a
fair compensation for his time and
risk? This country can well afford
to do it. Indeed. we can Ill afford TO
beg or force a man to serve the coun-
try without paying him a fair compen-
| sation. 1t is a kind OF robbery; 1t is
a holdup, and IL seems almost impos-
sible for judges out here to do any

Justice Robinson has discovered a
namesake in Senator Joseph r. Robin

terested in the judges campaign for

had several letters from Senator Rob
inson and has reason to hope that a
bill embodying the ideas which have
