BABY WEEK

Baby Week was observed in Bot
tineau last week by the children of the
grades writing essays on "Baby," and
by having the windows Of the differ
ent business places appropriately dec
Grated and by holding a Mothers Day
meeting on Saturday afternoon. At
this meeting three very splendid pa

unproductive" says Froebel, and she
advocates the use of the book "Moth-
Or Play" to lead a child to a love of
God and religion, and says it goes
without saying that such children
have a higher interest in Sunday
School and later a finer appreciation
of religion. Mrs. Simonson urges,

mother of eight boys and has one
adopted daughter and speaks with
authority and from experience.
H. o. Sheldon spoke on the eyes; his
talk was full of valuable information,
which every parent in and about Bot
tineau could i'll afford not to hear. He
emphasized among other things the
need of proper care at birth, guarding
against diseases that cause blindness,
the exercise of care in regard to child
rem with eye infection in school and
at home and the great Importance of
consulting those who have had spec
ial training in the are of the eye, in
case of trouble. The need of eye in
spection in school, which would come
to some extent under the work of a
school nurse.
Miss Mary Carey, in her usual eff
fcient manner spoke on the School
Nurse and said in part:
The law was stated showing that
upon being petitioned in writing by
two thirds of the school directors in
the county, the Board of County Com
missioners shall employ one or more
graduate nurses or licensed physicians
duly registered and licensed to prac-
tice nursing and medicine under the
laws of the state, to visit the schools
and inspect and examine all pupils at
least once each year except such as
presented a certificate of health from

women Of talent and have made quite
a study Of the needs Of equipped play
grounds for children, realizing, that
the way the children spend their leis-
ure time will determine largely their
efficiency and their character. There
are 642 cities in America where sup
ervised equipped Fairgrounds are con-
Quoted and Bottineau is fortunate in
having among them those who realize
that a child if allowed to indulge in
improper recreation during. leisure
hours will be the means of multiplying
the good citizenship training acquired
during school hours and we should
congratulate ourselves upon having
those in u midst who will take the
initiative in such advanced ideas. With
the addition of a few sand boxes for
the little tots, tennis court, base ball
diamond and a paid supervisor for the

would rank with the most progressive
cities in the United States.

J. L. Carter of the Standard Oil Co.,
reports that a man is travelling around
the state selling camphor tablets to-
auto users at n cent each with the
claim that one of these tablets put in
5 gallons of gasoline will enrich the
gasoline and improve it's quality. This
is not so and the state authorities are
looking for the man who was last
heard of as operating in the vicinity
of Valley City. Most auto owners
know that the gasoline they buy will
stand enriching and improving but it
will take something different that a
camphor tablet to work that miracle.

Bye-O, my baby, bye-O! The violet, heavens hue,
The ~wind-fower in the meadow, adrip with fragrant dew,
At dusk to love surrender, with heads bent sweetly low,
Then while deep peace the soft winds render, to nodding
slumber go.
Bye-O my baby, bye-O! The robin in his nest,
The meadowlark and sparrow on going to their rest,
Their voices sweet upraising fill earth and sky with song;
In thrilling tones of love, Him praising, to whom their
songs belong.
Bye-O, my baby, bye-O! The fow'rs their petals fold;
The birdlings silent grow, and hushed their notes of gold;
Yet kindly love is noting each helpless bird and flower,
And to their needs His power devoting, till dawns the wax
ing hour.
Bye-O, my baby, bye-O! To God thy praises sing,
Thy heart Of love aglow, to the loving Jesus bring;
Then sweetly take thy rest, the Kind Shepherd watch doth
keep
Ger baby pressed to mothers breast, eyes closed in slum-
Der sleep. Caro- M.

hard to get a complete chain of evil

A farmer has no facilities for hay
ing his feed analysed and he doesn't
know what he is working with. The
analyses of mixed feeds costs about
ten cents per ton, and if every farmer
will read the various bulletins from
the agricultural colleges he will soon
know those brands which can be de-
pended upon. There is no doubt that
at the present prices of grain any
farmer can save money by selling his
cereal crops and buying mixed feed.

fall and the wind which was blowing
gale sent the fine, icy particles into her
eyes. She turned up her fur collar,
frightened her veil, and, burrowing her
face into her muff, started up the
street.
At the same time a man started af-
ter her. At first Janet paid little at
tention to him, but as she left the lights
behind and plunged into the darkness
ahead she felt uneasy. She walked
faster but the man soon overlook her
walking beside her and suiting his step
to hers. Janet kept straight ahead,
never so much as glancing aside. But
she knew that he, too, had his head
down against the wind and the collar
of his great overcoat was almost touch
ing his hat.
eff you're afraid / shall be glad to
take you home" he said finally, his
voice coming in fitful jerks as the wind
caught it.
.'No, thank you! I'm not afraid
said Janet as firmly as she could with
her teeth chattering.
"But I'm going to the ferry and I'll
just walk with you, if you don't mind"
No answer, but he was not discour-
aged. He kept right beside her.

he would go then, but he didn't.
'I'm from the West, too" he said.

depths of the big overcoat.

THE MAN IN THE STORM
BY OLIVER GRAY.

Janet, dear, won't you please come
to the hotel with us and stay all night?
We've stayed out so late at shows and
things we can't let you go so far alone
now"
No, Sally, thanks just the same I'll
take the subway and be home in no
time. I live SO near to the car, you
know"
at isn't near-it's several blocks and
you shan't go alone. Henry will GER
tainly go with YOU"
Henry certainly will not. You two
are so tired doing New York now you
walk as if you were on pegs, and
Henry's eyes look like holes burned in
paper for want of sleep. We girls get
accustomed to going around alone, and
you needn't think I'm martyr
''Well, little sister, all right acqui-
esced Sally. you are too independent
for comfort, though, sometimes. This
musical career in the first place is
all"
Janet laid her hand over her sisters
mouth. Hush! Here we are at the
station. Now goodnight"
She had been just long enough in the
metropolis to get over the wonder of
1t, then over the disgust of it, for there
is always reaction, and to take the
philosophical view that is best. Her
music and little else really interested
her. She had her wagon hitched to
the star of a musical career and she
was willing to work and sacrifice ev-
erything for it's sake.
Hartley Howard had insisted that
his love for her counted for more than
music, and it had been a long, hard
fight to convince herself that he was
wrong. She had asked her sister about
him that night so indifferently that
even Sally's sharp eyes were deceived.
He's doing pretty well, Janet" she
had answered 'They say he's going
with Mary Porter but l don't know for
sure. Think how funny it will be some
day, sister, when you're away up in
grand opera and just home from the
courts of Europe TO have Hartley pre-
sent you to Mary, fat and forty and
with a family of six to cook and sew
for!" She had meant it kindly, for
she thought Janet was looking a bit
white and peaked, but her words had
brought no answering smile.
1T seems good piece ahead" sighed
Janet.
She thought 1t all over now in the
car and she was very close to the line
which separates will from weakness.
Was she getting homesick? Then she
thought of the European courts and of
darning stockings and cooking. The
brave color came back to her cheeks
and she sat very erect. She had chos-
en- a career and she was going to make
good.
The train stopped at her station and
she got off. Others got off other cars
and went up the steps OF the subway
exit to scatter at the top In different

THE BEST DAIRY FEED
Made From Grain From Which The
Human Food Values Have
Been Taken.
By Prof. T. D. Fuller.
National Crop improvement Service.l


The reason why the best dairy
feeds are less expensive than the same
grains on the farm is because the
principal elements Of human food are
taken from these grains before they
are ever made into feed. The by
products Of cereal mills, glucose fac
tories, malt houses, etc., constitute
often more than so per cent Of TIT
total bulk of mixed dairy feeds Of the
better class.
These oats, barley and corn by
products are considered by experts in
animal nutrition as very valuable
feed materials After these cereals are
ground in the manufacture of alcohol,
for which the use is growing more i'm
portant daily in the arts, the solid
residue is dried in vacuo, and is then
known as dried grains" Ii made
from corn, these grains contain on an
average OF about 80 per cent crude
protein and 10 per cent crude fat. II
made from rye, while valuable, they
are of somewhat lower feed value.
The barley residue contains over -
per cent more crude protein than
wheat bran and twice as much crud1
tat. In fact, their food value Is
largely increased by the process.
All these products are widely used
by the best dairy feeders and are re
lied upon very extensively in mil
production. There is no doubt Of tlz
fact that if the supply Of these prod
ucts were radically limited or entirely
exhausted, it would have a serious ef-
feet upon the milk production
throughout the country and the
dairymen would have one more bur
den added to their already overtaxed
strength.
COttonseed meal is composed prin-
cipally of the kernel, with such POI
ton of the hull as is necessary III tn
manufacture of oil. COttOnseed meal
il choice, must contain at least II PEI
cent crude protein. 1t is one of the
richest of all feeds in this substance
and carries about per cent crud5
fat. On account of it's extreme con
centration it can be fed only in llnl-
tied quantities and always in con
junction with some products to fur
nish bulk This meal is an important
ingredient in many manufactured
feeds.

DIFFERENT COWS, DIFFERENT
FEEDS

No suggestions that we can offer
nor any other formula that can be
made can be folio we'd to the letter as

a physician FeedA vary in their nu-
tritive values, some Being better than
the average and some not as good,
and COWS vary in their ability to di-
gest and transform nutriment. These
