The Bantry Advocate was a new
paper on our exchange list this
week, being resurrected after four
months suspension, by it's former ed
editor, Charles F. Varty. If the ad-
yertising patronage in the first issue
is any criterion, there will be no need
to suspend publication again.
The Towering plum trees at River
side Park are now in full bloom, and
no resident of Minot, ought to miss
this unusually pretty sight. Each OF
the little bushes has about 900 pref
ty pink blossoms. Supt. Doolittle
kept smudge going all Friday night
to save the blossoms from freezing.
The Leeds baseball team comes to
Minot for a game with the local team
Friday evening, game to be called at
six o'clock. Leeds always produces a
good team and close game is ex-
pected. Saturday Hester takes his
team to Lisbon where they will play
three games. Minot has already won
five straight games, with no defeats.
The team should receive the unani-
nous support of all the fans.
Geo. VanLue recently escaped what
might have been fatal accident He
was in the field discing when his
horses took fright and ran away. In
his effort to jump he was thrown in
front Of the disc which Immediately
passed over him. Fortunately, how
ever, the wheels of the implement
struck raised ground and lifted the
sharp disc high enough for them to
pass over the PROSTATE George with
out serious injury to him.-Bantry
Advocate.
At the meeting of the Ward county
board of commissioners it was ddkid-
ed to send some grasshopper poison
to Kenmare where farmers desiring
same can secure it. Those who wish
poison should call on L. B. Miller of
agricultural department of the Ken
mare Public Schools. Everyone should
watch the headlands for the appear
ance of grasshoppers and as soon as
they appear the poison should be
spread. If everyone will do this,
there will be no cause for worry over

HOW TO PATCH GRAVEL ROAD
Work Should Always Be Done When
Road Is Wet, Preferably When
Water Is Standing in Ruts.

Patching is usually neglected or
done in such a way as to cause two
ruts TO form where there was but one
before. That is the invariable result
of filling a rut too full. This work
should always be done when the road
is wet, preferably when the water is
still standing in every little hollow on
the road surface, so that the wOrkmcn
can just see where to place the new
gravel and about how much is needed.
Unless the rut is very large one,
it is always best to shovel the gravel
from the wagon into 1t, rather than to
raise sidebOard and attempt to dump
a part Of the load. Patching done in
the proper manner when the road ia
wet, followed by a road drag. win
maintain an old gravel road surface
as good as new until 1t is so badly
worn that an entirely new YIrface is
required. The gravel should never be
poorer than that forming the surface
layer of the old road, and espe cially
should contain little, but not an ex-
cess ii clay.

CALIFORNIA TO GROW DATES
Possibility That That State May Be-
come Center of Culture of Fruit
in the World.

Within n few years the Salton sea
basin, near Indio, Cal, may become
the center Of the worlds date culture
thanks 10 the efforts of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. For nearly twenty
years the bureau of plant industry has
been endeavOring TO procure shoots of
the date palms which bear the fruit,
known commercially as the Sadly. or
Wahi, and Sewi varieties. SO difficult
was the source OF the splendid fruit
to trace that, up TO 1913, only a few
shoots had been procurable At that
time an immense grove of 2OO.OOO Of
the palms in the oasis of Dakhla. Tunis
was discovered.
Negotiations for the purchase of
specimens having been satisfactorily
concluded, the collection of the shoots
was begun. That it was slow is ac-
counted for by the fact that tree puts
forth only twenty to thirty shoots dur
ing its lifetime. However, the collec-
ton was finally completed and the
work of setting out $500 of the young
trees will be started within the near
future.-Popuar Mechanics Magazine.

The weather was bracing as Marge
walked home from the Daysville post
ONCE. yet her footsteps Jagged. In
her hand were two bulky letters. To
the kindly neighbors. who took much
interest in Marge and her career.
these letters-alwuys fat ones-were q
joy.
Marge was an authoress, you must
understand. oh. yes, she wrote many.
many stories; but only she knew that
they were all unpublished. The viii
Iase 1olk thought the reason she re-
FUSED 10 talk about her stories was
modest one. They did not under
stand the meaning OF the thick envel-
opes which contained rejected manu-
scripts.
Three years ago Marge had a love
affair All Daysville had known IL,
and had thrilled at it. Then one day.
In the city papers society page, there
had been an announcement: Miss
Ray Dey Butan betrothed TO Mr.. Rob
ert Benedict"
His" name! Marge's sweetheart
Everyone was indignant; and Marge
wrote him brief note telling him
never to try to see her again.
Those three long years had gone
by slowly And Marge. now an ar.
dent man-hater of twenty-five was an
authoress. Yet her works could hard
ly be called stories; they were sat.

anyway" And she really thought she
believed il.
Consequently. back came all her
stories, accompanied by a polite little
rejection slip.
In the city Bob Benedict had risen
from a newspaper reporter to assist
ant manager and editor of a short
story magazine. And, while reading
some of the numerous manuscripts
one day, he came upon one written by
a Marge Wilcox of Daysville. 1t was

he reread the story that ridlculed love
and men.

muSed.
AT length he persuaded the editor
TO let him experiment, and send the
following letter:
Dear Maadm: We read your IN
