Benjamin Harrison that Okla
homa was opened up. Good farm
land available under the Home
stead Act was difficult to find
so the United States bought from
the Indians, who had been segre.
gated in Indian territory, a large
tract of some 10000 square miles
that had been used largely by
he Indians as pasture for their
cattle and horses. This was
called Oklahoma, word mean
ing Zine country" and was ar
ranged to be ready fer sale to
homesteaders at II o'clock noon
of April %, 1889. Troops were
placed on guard to prevent any
settlers entering before that time
for more than 100000 boomers"
as they were called, came from
all over the country to obtain
farms or places for business. On
the stroke of the hour, bugles
sounded and the mad rush by
men, women and children to To-
cate claims began. The govern
ment had arranged land officers
at many places at which claims
could be filed for the farms or
city lots, and all that day these
were besieged by fighting mobs
to register their selections. Be-
fore nightfall hundreds of farms
were staked out and Oklahoma
City and Guthrie were well on
their way to become cities.
Thus was developed this re-
gion which came into the pos
session of the United States as
a part of the Louisiana Purchase
in 1903 and which was set aside
for so many years as Indian
country. Previous to the forma-
ti0n of Oklahoma territory, con-
gress had forbidden white set

and this edict was enforced by
federal troops. As the demand
for more land was felt and as the
Indians decreased in numbers

CHRISTMAS SEALS.

THE CHRISTMAS SEAL CATE
CHISM

THE CHRISTMAS SEAL CATE
CHISM
What is the Christmas Seal?
A little seal which sells for penny
each. and comes 100 seals to the sheet.
They are messengers of helpfulness.
What is the money so raised used
for?
1t is used in the fight against Tuber-
culosis in the following ways:
l. To send nurses to examine the
school children. Every $4,000
worth of seals sold entities the
buyer to nurse for ore week.
2. To put the Modern Health Crus-
ade into the schools. This is a
system of Health Educations
which has done wonders for the
health of the children in the
past. Over 100000 are already
enrolled in the state. There will
be $4,000 before the end of the
school year.
3. To buy literature for free dis
tribution giving information on
the cause and cure of Tuber-
culosis as we'll as other pre-
ventable diseases.
4. To get medical help for clinics
for tuberculosis, for infant well
fare work and for mal-nutri-
tion cases.
5. To carry on campaign of edu-
cation through lectures, exhibi-
is, demonstrations, etc.
6. To make tuberculosis and Sani-
tary Surveys of cities and COM
munities.
z. Te publish the North Dakota
Fennant, the little magazine
which places before the people
the health work which is being
dorc and the need for more, es-
pecially the need of fighting
tuberculosis.
How are we to sell the Seals
The very best method of selling
these Seals is by asking people to buy
in person. In order to see that every
man in town is given an opportunity,
the town is distracted and district
chairman in charge of the sale on the
appointed day. These district chair
men report their sales to the local
chairman.

! Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant
!! an English colony in America,
J and the expeditions which he
sent established q little colony
! on Roanoke island. There in
1887 was born the first Ameri-
can child Of English parents.
She was named Virginia Dare,
after the virgin queen. This col
Ony, due to England's war with
!. Spain, could not be properly sup.
ported, AID after few years
pcrished. It was not until over
! a century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
| south into the new territory, and
these, augmented by a large
company of Huguenots from
France and greater number of
Germans from the Palatinate,
founded the first North Carolina
J t'wn of Newburn in 171O. BY
the time of the Revolution the
population in North Carolina
had increased to such an extent,
with an influx of Scotch-lrish
and Scotch Highlanders who
settled chiefly in the western
counties, that it ranked fourth
among the original thirteen col
onies. Today it's population en-
titles it to twelve electoral votes
for president. In area it stands
about half way among the states
J with 52,426 square miles. North
Carolina was the twelfth state
to adopt the Constitution, the
formal ratification taking place
in November, 1889. The deriva-
tion of the name Carolina, as in
the case Of South Carolina, came
from the Latin Carolus, mean
ing Charles, and was given orig
inaily in honor of King Charles
TX of France and retained by
, King Charles II of England.
North Carolina is also known
as the Old North state.

Few Trains and Slow.
When l first went into Vienna II
the early spring Of 1919 I rode in OF
freight train from Trieste. Tit
train was carrying food and wa:

| the only kind Of train running from
that direction. The only other trail
from any direction was a militar.
train from Paris through Vienna t
Warsaw three times week. which
was inaccessible to any but official
and persons willing to pay exorbltan
| brides. Trains in every direction wer
practically non-existent. Railroad sta
lions were deserted. The long. empt
passenger platforms and untenante
waiting rooms seemed like remnant
of civilization which had passed.
| When train ran semi-occasionall
| from Vienna to Budapest the time Q
transit was indefinite. The trai
movements accorded with the vagarie
of the crew. Passengers simply too
chance. They trusted themselve
to the train much as they would to
life raft, hoping for the best but fea
ing the worst.
One train, l recall, which left Bud'

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
AMARM ALADE."

TT WAS early in the Fifteenth
century that French epieures
began to take notice OF a new
ana particularly delicious sweet
meat that was beginning to come
over the border from Spain. 1t
appeared to be kind OF thick
jam, we'll favored and with a
body which gave it distinctly
more of a taste than the rather
fat preserves which were In
vogue at that time. lnquirlng
into the source of this delicacy,
fine Parisians found that 1t came
from Portugal, where the ma
tives had discovered the knack
of treating ounces in such
manner that they made a paste
or preserve of exceptional quail
ity and appetizing flavor. Be
cause of the fact that the Portu-
cuese word for ounce is mar
melo,p the name ''marmaiade"
was applied to this preserve
which, upon being introduced
into England, became extremely
popular.
During the Nineteenth GEN.
fury the English became very
proficient in the making of or
ange marnatade. and practically
captured the world trade In this
commodity until American ge-
MUS added a new tang and
flavor at an even lower price.
The fact that oranges were al
most universally used for the
manufacture of this product OBJ
scured the original derivation OF
the word, and today marmalade
is generally understood to mean
a thick jam made from oranges,
, while, as matter of fact, 1t
should be applied only to that
which is made from ounces.
Even "orange marmalade" is a
! missioner, as literal transla-
ton of the term would be or
! ange-quince preserve"
