The old dances were promiscuous affairs, and girls were constantly changing part ners. The new dances are intimate, and there is no change of partners. The Lon don girls are now busy making their selection of the partner who shall dance all their dances with them during the coming seaSon,-that is. they are trying to- Only the fortunate succeed, for there is a dearth of men
 Farther and mother may protest that it wasn't so in their day, that it was noticeably wrong. and caused comment when young lady danced repeatedly with the same partner. But father and mother must keep silent, or be classed as out of date as the Laneers, and mo- body wants to be so old as that, in London. The professional dancer usually is blamed for the permanent association. Nearly every dance hall has a star turn, a dancing duet, who live by showing how divinely two people can dance to- gether. Tt is so obvious when people are not practiced together If one -zips' and the other is unprepared, of course Tit is q clumsy exhibition, and nobody wants to be clumsy. so the daughter of the house argues with her parents. Be- cause the parents cannot prevail on their children directly there is the likelihood of 2 storm in the newspapers about it. A little time ago there was discussion of war marriages. The modern equivalent is the dance marriage
 Again the professional is blamed, for all professionals, when they dance seem nadly in love with each other. They may be. or they may not, but whether they are or they are not it is nobody's affair so. long as they keep up appearances. The winning smile of the lady. and the worshipful attendance of the man. how ever, are not lost on the dance partners, and dreams of dancing through life follow. Sometimes they try it-but not being professionals, they don't all keep

RICE AS FOOD
Higher In Nutritive Value Than AL
 most Amy Other Product

While nature has distributed values so that no single article of food possesses all the qualities of perfect ration. it has been moro generous in its gift to rice than to many other foods. Rice possesses them in, a greater degree than the meat cereal or vegetable commonly found on the average table
 Per pound, rice contains a larger to- tai amount of nutritive matter than wheat or corn; 31 times as much as or dinary beef. and s.7o times moro than potatoes. There is practically no water in rice as compared to the preponderance oc water in most common vegetables Po- tatoes, for example, are three-fourths water.
 One can go farther on rice than on any other single article of food. To this capacity for building endurance in the human system is added the ease with which 1t is digested. It takes rice only ere hour to digest. making the slightest tax upon the system and leaving the digestive organs freer for work upon other less easily digested foods.
 Where rice is used as a regular food dyspepsia and other forms of indigestion rarely are found.
 IL is the ideal complement for other foods. It's greatest advantage lies in the fact that it can be used with all styles of cooking, in any, climate during any season. Its chief ingredient is car bohydrates. the element that provides fuel for making human energy. When combined with the fats of beef. veal, fowl or with the nitrogenous foods such as beans, peas or cheese. the result is as perfectly balanced meal as it is possible. to secure It adds greatly to the nutritive value of soups, stews and dressings-- and embellishes many fine dishes, es- pecially oysters. clans, shrimps, crabs and all fish.
 For infants or invalids there is nothing that lends itself better than the curative, healing qualities of rice, possessed in greater degree than any other cereal be- cause of it's ease of digestion and nerve building qualities.

up the pace and the marriage are noi often happy.
 FIRST STEP TO MARRIAGE


 The seiection of dance parener, ac- coring to the modern Mrs. Grunds IS the first step towards unhappy marriage. The young lady of today replies that ene has no intention of marrying her part her. He is only a dance partner But, as Mrs. G. Says ''propinquity propinks" " Many mothers with married daughters living at home are inclined to agree Marriage is so seldom a matter of will and dance partners see so much of each other, in the lighter Inomens, the hap pier moments, and just more or less get married anyhow" as one young lady said to her partner as we passed by.
 Meanwhile the dance is on, and the pos sible unhappiness is lost in the exhilara- ton of the moment Parents wIsn lae' dances were q little different. but they are learning the new ones, and the happy other side is coming to notice. Dance partnership works both ways. It is a strange season Some youngster partners are. possibly, making mistakes, and many older partners are undoing mistakes.
 Queen Mary, unfortunately for the top crust of society, likes the old-fashionei dances, and they are the rule for royal affairs, but the smart set cannot dance them any more. So the royal affairs are rather a fizzle from time to time. Nc- body does the old-fashioned waltz, even in England; the lancers the quadrille and the Schottiche arc absolutely back mum bers The popular sport of the moment in England is betting the reform Of the dance, just how long it is going to take to bring it up to date in the best circles"
 There seems to he more than possi- bility of modernity. The stately, digni- fled, reserved, backward-whatever ad- jective you care to employ for the Ritz will do-the Ritz hotel is opening cock tail bar and Going strong for dance. After luncheon London dances.

 All the old restaurants that used to cater to the dancing crowd. and some rew ones, are opening again, Tor the dance promoters are determined that the dance shall not be neglected this year A little while ago there was prophecy that this would be an off year for danc- ing, and the men with money tied up in dance halls set to work to stay the rot They have succeeded. There will be nc rot this year. Unless all signs are wrong,
 there will be riot of dancing, .and 1 few more happy fortunes made out ol | dinner-dances and supper-dances' ahc iust nlain dances with refreshments or l the side

GETS THE COYOTES

Barnes & Sons of Fullerton, North
Dakota report in the Dickey County
Farm Bureau News, that the fol-
lowing method suggested by an old
Wyoming sheep herder gets the. coy
otes: "When a sheep is killed the
coyotes eats out of the side or flank
Of the sheep and returns in from "a
to 4S hours for another feed. If
the carcass has not been disturbed
during his absence he will eat hearth
ly. Now if we can get the poison
on the meat at the place where he
has eaten, without leaving any hu-
man scent, the coyote will get his
medicine. So we did not touch a
hand to the dead sheep but parted
the flesh and inserted the poison
by using wooden knives about a
foot long, dropping strychnine in
several places-about one grain in
each place. After this we drove the
flock of sheep over the ground in
order to destroy the scent of even
our boots.

PAYS TO FINISH STEERS

The North Dakota Agricultural
College more than doubled the value
Of two steers by finishing them on
corn fodder. Prof. Sheppard bought
these stesrs at the Equity Packing

1Totten said he would resign if
Stangeland was removed, but public
sentiment ran so high that the board
had to act. Totten has not resigned,
but the same sentiment which COM
PEELED Stangeland's removal is now
seeking to put rollers under Totten.
Governor Frazier, nonpartisan exec
utive, declines to dismiss Totten, his
appointee.
"Stangeland audacity boasts in
his biography in Who's Who,' that
he is a member of a German polit-
ical society with headquarters in
Berlin. Throughout the war his BIZ
ography proudly carried this fact.
In 1912 he was detailed as secretary
Of the United States legation at La
Paz, Bolivia, and in 1914 transferred
to London as second secretary of the
United States embassy.
Just one year after the war
started he resigned and the state de-
partment has always declined as a
mater of policy, to discuss reports
published at the time, that the resig-
nation was the outcome of protest
from the British government to the
American secretary of state. After
the United States entered the war,
Stangeland was indicted in New
York for an alleged violation of the
trading with the enemy act. The
case was dismissed two weeks after
! the armistice was signed, the depart
ment of justice files show. The de-
partment admits having much data
on stangeland's energies since this
country entered the war, but said to-
day that it was an established policy
to give out such information except
for official use. The senate COM
mittee has authority to call for it.

The following letter was received
from Mr.. Bennett and family who
have hosts of friends around here
where they lived for many years.
Mr.. Bennett is cashier of the First
National Bank of Crosby:
G. G. Thompson, Esq.
Dear Sir:-I am enclosing my
check as per your bill. I hope that
this will again put me on the honor
roll.
We like it at Crosby fine as the
country is one that appeals to any
out door man. The finest of fishing
and hunting, as we'll as schools.
The grade school here was put up
in 1914 at a cost of $125,O00 and
last year the high school was fin
ished at cost of $175,OOO so that
the children have everything that
money can buy in the way of equip
ment as we'll as teachers.
Kindly remember me to our Penn
bina friends.
Best wishes to yourself and family
for happy and prosperous New
Year.
Yours truly,

tu]ations to Brother Thompson of

his acquiring linotype type set
ting machine-along with the. forty
first year of the Express. That is
a great age for newspaper in this
state. Mr.. Thompson says he put
the new machine in, in self defence.
With the shortage of help some des-
perate remedy was necessary and
the big outlay was the remedy. The
Express is one of the best weekly
papers of the state-always honest
in its editorial comments and always
working for the best interests of the
people of this county and North Da-
kota. True and loyal, it fights
against the Bolshevick, ,anarchistic
tendencies which threaten the foun-
dations of the country and govern
ment. More cess to ye. Walhalla

STRANGLELAND'S RECORD

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Town
ley Nonpartisan League is to be
made the subject of portion of the
investigation which the senate COM
nittee on "red" activities in this
country headed by Senator George
n Moses, of New Hampshire, is to
conduct. It is proposed to discover
how much sympathy and affiliation,
II any, the league has with the Rus
sian movement. AS part of the in
vestigation it is being planned to
call Charles Emil Strangeland, who
was recently removed from his con-
nection with the North Dakota
state library.
Concerning the affair, Charles C.
Hart, Washington correspondent of
the Portland Oregonian, has wired
his paper the following:
"To what extent the Nonpartisan
league movement in North Dakota
and other Nrthwestern states SYM
pathizes with the soviet system of
Russia. is a question suggesting one

throw the government of the United
States.

"When It came time to pay the
bills i the state auditor declined to
issue vouchers for a large number Of
alleged anarchistic, Bolshevistic, ath-
eistic and free love books which had
been enstalled in the library by
Stangeland. The character Of the
books is sufficiently told in the titles
and in the names Of the authors.

Trained Nurse
Out With Facts
Was On Verge Of Nervous Prostra.
tion-Gains Ten Pounds and
Troubles End

AAouOASo AIhO
One Of the most interesting of the
many recent statements regarding
Tanlac was made by Mrs. Isabella
Rowe of 1917 West Walnut St.,
DesMoines, Iowa, in an interview,
recently.
Mrs. Rowe, who is a trained nurse
of wide experience in relieving suf-
fering and we'll known to the people
OF DesMoines, is only one of the
great many in her profession, who
after having realized it's remarkable
powers, have become ardent cham
pions of the Master Medicines.
When asked if she was willing for
her statement to be published, Mrs.
Rowe said:
eyes, indeed, for I firmly believe
Tanlac has saved me from nervous
prostration and I am glad to make
a statement which may be of beni-
fit to the vast numbers who are in
need of such a medicine.
"I had suffered from stomach and
liver trouble, disordered kidneys and
extreme nervousness for a year or
more. My food would not digest
properly and I not only suffered in
tense pain in my stomach after eat
ing, but my heart would palpitate so
from the pressure of gas that I
could scarcely breathe. In fact, my
whole body was full of pain and the
small of my back, especially, hurt
me so at times I felt like I would
go distracted. had lost great
deal in WEIGHT and even my friends
were talking about how weak and
run down I looked.
"I had tried many other medicines
before getting Tanlac, but nothing
gave me more than little passing re-
lief. My entire system seemed to
be broken down. I could get
but little sleep or rest and was right
on the virge of nervous prostration.
1 believe I would have had to give
up entirely in a short time if I had
rot gotten Tanlac. But now I am
like different woman altogether. I
can eat Just anything I want and
everything seems to agree with me
perfectly as I never have any more
pain, palpitation or any other SYM
ptoms Of indigestion. In fact, all
my pain as well as my nervousness
and that weak, worn out feeling, is
gone and I have also gained ten
pounds in weight. Before taking
Tanlac I could not hold out to walk
q block, but the other day I got out
and walked fifty-nine blocks, and
felt none the worst from it. I have
never known a medicine accomplish
ing such wonderful results as Tan
lac. I Don't believe there's another
Ike it and it gives me pleasure to
recommend it."
