TREE PLANTING

Trees are one of the essentials in
home making. Trees properly
planted and cared for make place
homelike. One will often notice
in travelling that some places look
especially inviting, and make one
feel as though you would like to
stay there. If one will take the
trouble to study such a place, one
will usually find that the attract
iveness is largely due to the trees
and shrubs that surround the home.
Trees will do we'll in North Da-
kota when planted on we'll prepar-
ed ground, and given cultivation
for few years. The first trees
to be planted should be wind
break which should be far enough
from the buildings to stop the snow
where it will be out of the way.
Willows are the best, for the wind
break. One or two rows is suff1-
cient If two rows are planted,
place them 10 to Is feet apart.
The drier the section, the greater
the distance between the rows. In
side of the willows, plant such trees
as ash, boxelder,r and of evergreehs,
the blackhill spruce or blue spruce
and bull pine do we'll.
Around the buildings shrubs add
attractiveness and there are many
of these that are well adapted to
North Dakota conditions.
For further information on tree
planting and shrubs for North Da-
kota see Circular No. 10. North
Dakota Experiment Station.

CARE OF THE BROOD MARE

corn. alfalfa, prairie nay, oat straw,
corn fodder, carrots, rutabagas.

Each pregnant mare deserves stall
to herself. AS the period of par

HARMS RETURNS
SUNDAY MORNING

Ernest Harms, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. j. Harms Of this city, re-
turned to his home here last Sum-
day after receiving his discharge
from the U. s. Army. Ernest was
sent from here to Camp Custer,
Mich, last fall and received all of
his training there. His company
was ready to be sent across 10
France when the armistice was
signed, and he was not moved un-
til the time came for him to be sent
to, Camp Dodge for discharge. En-
nest says he would like very much
to have taken the trip to France,
although the boys returning from
Europe told him that he is much
better off by not being sent across.
Most Of the boys from the west
stopped at Camp Custer for rest
while on their way home; and Ear
nest had a chance to talk with
MANY of them. He was in a ma
chine gun batallions during most OF
the time he was in service, and be-
came an expert in the use of a gun
of this kind. He also won for
himself badge and a raise in pay
after his shooting record entitled
him to the distinction of sharp
shooter For several months he
was among the dozen high men in
his company, but during the last
few months his name stood at the
ton of all others as being the best
shot in the organization. Abdellah
Bejan of this city who was sent to
Camp Custer at the same time as
Earnest was, and staid in the same
company since that time, received
his discharge at the same time as
Earnest did, and went to Sioux City,
Iowa, where he intends to stay sun-
til some time in March, when he
will return to Bowbells to operate
his pool hall and automobile again.

COUPLE
!. MARRIED SATURDAY

For a time 1t looked as though
the various people who were plan
ming on getting married had lost
their ambition since County Judge
o S. Hall took his oath of office,
and Judge Carter retired to private
life. but the ice has now been brok.
en- and Mr.. Hall is of the opinion
that we might expect several mar
riages week from now on. Last
Saturday afternoon he performed
the ceremony which united the
hearts and hands of Herman Remer
of across the lake and Miss Anna
Ryan of Kenmare. The knot was
tied at the court house in the pres
ence of Janitor l. E. Ross and Miss
Kathryne Hileman. The groom Is
a prosperous and progressive farm
.er Of this county, and the bride Is
also quite we'll known across the
lake The Tribune takes this op-
portunity of joining the = many
friends Of this good couple in ex-
tending congratulations.

TREES ARE. ALREADY
STARTING TO BUD

/, H. L. Jensen, the popular coal
hauler and farmer of Bowbells
township, tells The Tribune that
many of the trees on the DesLacs
lake are already budding as a re-
suit of the mild weather we have
been having during the past few
weeks If the trees there are bud
ding it is only reasonable to sup
pose that the trees in the groves on
the various farmstea,ds are doing
the same thing, and if this is the
case many trees will die il more
cold weather comes before spring.
The only thing that will prevent
the trees from budding during the
warm weather In winter is a heavy
layer of snow, or else heavy
mulch. If a grove has this protec-
tion there is nothing to worry
about. but farmers having some pet
trees now had better look them
over, and IL they are found to be
budding it would be good plan to
haul a quantity of either straw or
coarse manure onto the ground
around them.

TEACHING A COLT TO DRIVE

TEACHING A COlLI III DhlVl0
Many trainers make the mistake
of hitching the colt to wagon be-
fore teaching him to drive with
harness without a load. The "bit-
ting" harness should first be used.
This consists Of an open bride with
q snaffle-bit, check and side reins
and surcingle with crupper. The
side and check reins should be left
comparatively loose when the "bit-
ting" harness is put on, and the colt
turned loose in small yard for an
hour. The reins should be slightly
frightened the second day. One
man should lead the colt while an
other walks behind, thus accustom-
ing him to driving. After he is
quieted sufficiently, the one who is
leading can be dismissed.
When the colt is ready to drive
double, select horse with which he
is familiar, hitch the two together
drive them about the yard in cir
Gle for about half an hour, first in
one direction, then in another. At
terward hitch to a light wagon and,
with an assistant leading the colt,
drive about, being sure that the
brakes keep the wagon from run
ming on to the colt. Use short
stay chain on the old horse so that
the colt will learn 10 start the load.
Gradually accustom him to automo-
biles, street cars and railway trains,
until he learns they will not hurt
him.

BUY GARDEN SEED EARLY

There are two reasons why gar
deners and farmers should get busy
on their seed orders for next spring.
p" First, to get their orders in be-
fore the busy rush that comes in
February and March every year.
Early orders are filled sooner than
the late-comers because there is
more time. This year 'the seed
houses are likely to be short OF
help, so buyers should be particu-
lar to get their orders in early.
: Second, to get the varieties want
ed. Late in the season varieties
are often exhausted, and sometimes
it is too late to order another var
iety. If this happens early in the
winter there Is still time for Sec
ond order,
BY going through the old seed
now there Is time to test the seeds
to see if they will grow. Seed left
over from last yearssmay not grow.
The first rule for gardner is:
When In doubt throw seed away.
The price of new seed should not
stand in the way Of getting good
stand of plants. 81. =.gs,s
The only safe plan is to test old
seed. Garden seeds can be tested
by putting them between pieces OF
moist blotting paper and keeping
them in warm room. Ninety per
cent of the seeds should sprout
readily. Testing them in cigar
box filled with soil is still better
than the blotter method. Plant f1f-
ty or 100 seeds of each variety IN
a separate row, and figure the per
cent from the number that sprout.
g Send for a seed catalog at once.

LIMBURG APPENDIX
 IS CAUSE OF WORR i
Belgium Wants Strip of Land Under Old Treaty, But Holland
 Clings to It

Paris, June 20.-(correspondeace of the Associated Press. )-Holand has scored in the first beat of the diplomatic tcurnef with her neighbor Beiigum over the clauses of the treaties of 1889, which have aroused a good deal of feeling on both sides of the Belgo-Dutch border.
 It was these 30 years old treaties that gave Holland the Limburg ''peninsua''- the narrow elongated strip of land popu- larly known as the Dutch appendix,,- by crossing which, the Germans in their retreat last fall saved themselves detour of sorne 40 miles and possible cap- ture by the allied armies.
 The Belgians dug up ancient records showing that several towns and villages situated in Dutch Limburg had, in the thirties of last century, petitioned the first king of the Belgians to be Joined to his new kingdom. Although the Dutch Limburgers of the present day are said to have no such desires an influential section of Belgium politicians clamored s for the annexation of Lmburg to Bel gium.
 Also, to safeguard the future position of Antwerp, the Belgian annexationists claimed the territory known as Dutch Flanders. situated on the southern bank O. the Scheldt estuary, which the treaties named had also given to Holland.
 These territorial claims aroused a storm of patriotic indignation in Holland. Queen Wilhelmina visited the disputed parts Of l.-- dominions, and there was good deal of flag waving and shouting about dying in the last ditch" before giving up 7 national territory. The situation was be- coming unpleasant. Cooi-headed elements in Holland realized that an estrangement from the Belgian sister nation would be fraught with disastrous consequences When a conference was called by the five great powers to reconsider the treaties of 1889. a delegation of eminent Dutch juriets, came to Paris with the firm resolve to avoid anything in the nature of breach with Belgium.
 On the cession of territory, however, their instructions were definite. and the Dutch stand point has been upheld by the five great powers. f
 It was agreed to institute a commission of seven powers, including Belgium and Holland. This commission is to examine the proposed revision of the treaties or 1889 and submit proposals duplicating neither transfer of sovereignty nor the creation of international servitudes." The commission will invite Belgium and Hol- land to submit 'jeint formulas in the matter of waterways. the general princi- ples of the peace conference t1 be applied As bases for the same

MIDNIGHT PATROL AT ALCAZAR A THRILLING CHINESE FILL M

When "The Midnight Patrol is pre- Rented at the Alcazar, beginning tomor- row. moving picture patrons of this city will see one of the thrilling and sensa- tional Chinese underworld stories.
 ''The Midnight Patrol'' is a vivid story Iof Chinese life in western metropolis. Wu Fang, 8 willy Chinese, rules like a cZar over the vce and lawlessness in his district; while Jim Murdock, a corrupt political boss, shares with him the in~ famous profits derived from the gambling halls. opium dens and brothels.
 At the time the story begins the China town police squad is under the command of Sergeant Duncan, whose two trusted assistants are Torrance Shannon and Michael O'Shea. During raid on Wu Fang's den Duncan is killed and Shan non is elevated to his position Mur- dock and his Chinese plotters fear Shan ncn's power and they attempt to dis credit him by stirring up trouble among the tongs. Shannon foils their plans, however, which has the unexpected re- suit of making him stronger than ever.
