POLICE WOMEN

There may come a time when our women
will have to do police duty. and it is said that
they have done noble work in this line in a few
cities of the United States. A woman. however,
must be perfect physically. and strong. to take
over mans duty. The housework for the mother
or the housekeeper at home is often beyond her
strength. 1t must be lishtened in some way or
other. Very often the worries and cares are
much greater than the actual physical labor. but
the feeling that this or that cleaning sewing. etc..
must be done, fatigues the mind more than the
physical labor actually tires the body. No won
der the tendency of our times is for the young
women to prefer work in office or factory rather
than doing house drudsey. IL the woman of
the family is run down with the distressing COM
plants peculiar to woman. she should give in

\. D. FARMERS
HAVE STARTED
SPRING DRIVE
Have Commenced Seeding
the Largest Acreage Ever
Sown in North Dakota.

Fargo. n. D., March 23.-While al
lied soldiers were successfully holding
the Germans back on the battle fronts
today. the farmers Of. North Dakota
and western Minnesota started their
spring drive to help win the val
by beginning to seed the largest acre
age OF wheat ever planted according
to reports received here, which lndA-
cate that the wheat seeding Is general
through North Dakota and western
Minnesota. According to agricultural
experts. this is the earliest general
movement of seeding that has ever
taken place, and they predict that
thousands of other acres will be
seeded in the mex few days il the
good weather prevails.
The weather during the last week
has been exceptionally fine for this
time Of the year, according to wealth
er bureau officials. and IL another
week of good weather is forthcoming,
wheat experts declare it will result in
more than half Of the wheat acreage
being seeded.
While most>of the experts were of
the opinion that the early spring
seeding augurs we'll for a bumper
crop this season, O. w. Roberts OF
Bismarck. director Of the United
States weather bureau, expressed the
fear that seeding had been started q
little too early.
while an ordinary freeze might
not damage wheat" he said. "a hard
freeze would probably destroy germi-
mating grain. April 10 is plenty early
enough to start planting"
Experts from Devils Lake. Dickjn'
son. Mott, and Grafton. North Da,
kota. and Crookston. Minnesota, al
declared that seeding was started to
day. the, earliest in history. j

River at Mandan
Covering Lowlands
Ice is Gorgcd ami Backed up for Sew
cral Miles, But Water is Running
Freely.

Mandan. N. D.. March 22.-The
water today in the Heart river had
reached the highest point so far this
spring. The ice is gorged and backed
up a distance of several miles, but
water Is running freely. The low
lands in the Syndicate and the roads
to the mill and to the experimental
station bridge are covered, but no
further rise is apprehended, and with
the present favorable weather it is
believed that the water will be pretty
well out Of the Heart by the time the
Missouri breaks. So far there are no
indications Of a break in the big
river.
The fine weather Of the past few
days, has taken the frost out Of the
ground and farmers in many parts of
the county are getting to work on
their fields putting in seed.

Somewhere in the wilds of Afghanis-

many high dignities as there are days
in the year, among them being:
'..The sovereign OF the universe, whom
God created to be as accomplished as
the moon at her plcnitude; whose eye
glitters like the northern star; a king
as spiritual as ball is round. who,
when he rises. shades all of his people,

remarkable title any monarch was ever
proud to own was borne by the king of
Monomotapa, whose praises were sung
by his court poets and musicians as
Lord of the Sun and Moon, Great Ma

Another striking example Of royal
dignity Is that of the former emperor
of China. whose recent coup d'etat
ended in such failure, He was hailed
by his subjects as "The protector of
