She and Walter Wilson had started

h worst blizzard experienced in
South Dakota in ears swept down up
Oh them.
The horses fought their way for some
distance, but h storm finally became

had a camp bed, and he proposed to the
young woman thai they make ur, the
bed on the ground in the shelter Of the
wagon and protect themselves under
the bed clothing, or by wrapping the
bed clothing closely about them. The
young woman protested, declaring tina:
such a course might reflect on her rep

JUSTICE GAYNOR is
FOR LARGER COURT
Court Of Eight Members Would
Raise Difficulties in the
Matter Of Division,
He Asserts.

Des Moines. Ia, March 6-Chief Jug
tice F. r. Gaynor, Of the iowa supreme
court declares that IL the Thirty
seventh general assembly passes the
bill now pending which provides for an
eighth member of the supreme court It
should be done with the understanding
that the following session of the legis-
lature will provide for one more SO that
the court will be made up of nine mem

This policy should be adopted, the
chief justice says, because the years
that the court is made up of eight
members will be difficult for the court.
The constitution prohibits adding
more than one embe to the high
court at any one term Of the legisla-
ture. This bars the proposition of in-
creasing the court from seven to nine
members at this time.
Under the present system Of seven

case not presented to the full bench is

members, four judges can no longer

that each decision shall be rendered by
a majority of the court. Therefore it

With a court of eight members it will
not be possible to arrange two divisions
of five members each.
1t has been suggested that during

than the chiee justice, may be divided
into two divisions-four members in
the first and three in. the second. The

Of "A. q. Merriam, formerly Of DEVILS
Lake, N. D. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not a success, for all who know that

to take advantage of the cheap land

with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, too, is:
II came to Alberta in the Spring OF
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
Il arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$500. Since then, I have increased
my live stock to seven head Of horses
four head Of cattle, and about one hun
dred head Of hogs, a four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern i'm
provements, a feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, flaming mill, etc. 1 have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here,
From the feeding of hogs dur. Ing
the last year, I had a gross return of
$4,000.
Il first started grain farming, but
during the past four years I have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1915
that I have not lone SO badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years, now selling for from S25 to $35
per acre, with nominal taxes Of about
$27 a quarter section yearly.
1.-THE climate here is better than Da-
kota in that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
"As for farming in general, the grow
ing and feeding of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming, if con-
tinued year after ycar, and if every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
I feel satisfied with my success in

War and Health.

The effect of war conditions upon
the health of the poorer classes IL
noted by DR.. L. A. Davies, medical off,
Ger of Woolwich, England, In his an
nual report. Improved working con-
dltions In that munitions region count
to some degree favorably, but the emo
tional strain Of grief and fear moro
than overbalances clean floors and
good ventilation. The increased use
of alcohol may be traced to such emo
tons. Accidents have occurred as
result of the dark streets ordered as
protection from air raids. Poor VEN
tilation In cellars, where hiding be-
comes necessary, may, Doctor Davies
considers, account for the increase In
respiratory diseases. Fear and shock
have doubtless shortened also the life
of those enfeebled from old age. They
have caused many complications In
childbirth cases.

RHODE ISLANDS NEW SENATOR

Though Peter Goelet Gerry, sena-

of wealth and assured social position,
he is far from being one Of the "idle
rich"
Known in society as polo player,
coaching whip and thorough sports
man, Mr.. Gerry also is known to his
friends as a student Of politics and
economics.
His first appearance in politics
was in 1912, when he was elected
delegate to the Democratic national
convention from Rhode Island. He
was appointed a member of the COM
mittee to notify Woodrow Wilson of
his nomination, and next appeared as
the organizer of a series Of Wilson
clubs in his state.
Old-llne politicians declined at
first to take Mr.. Gerry's efforts seri-
ously, and mild surprise was expressed
at the announcement of his nomination
for representative in congress from the
