OLD GHOST STORIES

Josephine. Some days before his own
death he told Montholon. who was one

again." 1t was noted that her name
was the last word he uttered when he
died.
The second, which is even stranger.
is, an account of a person closely re-
sembling Napoleon in appearance and
gesture who visited NapOleon's moth
er in Rome about the very hour of the
day when he died in ST. Helena. The
stranger spoke of Napoleon to her as

Napoleon's mother at once spoke to
those about her of this visitor. who

THE BOND SALE DRIVE

Gov. Frazier has issued a procla-
nation declaring Saturday, July 23rd
a legal holiday, to be known as North
Dakota Bond Selling Day and calling
on all true citizens of North Dakota
togather in their respective commu.
mites in a drive to sell within the
state as many of our gilt-edged se-
curities as possible.
In connection with this great
movement inaugurated by the Cover.
nor, Mrs. Belle Roberts, in charge of
the Bismarck bond sales office of the
Bank of North Dakota, tells US many
interesting incidents connected with
the campaign to sell the bonds.
Recently she said, "a California
dentist, repeating his order for North
Dakota bonds, took So. 600 WORTH
81, 600 in his W name; 81, 600 for
his wife and $500 for each of his two
daughters. 1t was a second order said
Mrs. Roberts. He had So, 600 worth
of certificates of deposit falling due
in a Maine bank and instructed the
bank ros the continent to put all
the money. including interest, COM
ing to him in the bonds of North Da-
kota.'
"Many repeat orders are coming
in with many people writing into the
bank and %instructing it to use the
interest due them on North Dakota
bonds as part payment on more bouds
which they were ordering,' said Mrs
Roberts. One lady took 5000 worth
more on her repeat order. putting all
interest coming to her back in North
Dakota bonds.
One thing that impresses Mrs.
Roberts greatly is the fact that good
oldfashoned, honest to-God farmers
are coming into Bismarck from other
states as we'll as North Dakota and
putting all their savings, as they put
it, Unto bonds for our fight"
Nothing on this earth can crush
the spirit that such voluntary acts of
farmers and workers all over the ma
tioH proves is behind the struggle of
the farmer-labor movement for eco
freedom, and it is up to every
tzue-blue North Dakotan to prove
rthemselvys worthy of the faith that
is being shown in their farmer-la labor
administration by the common people
everywhere.

TIMEPIEcE BUILT TO LAST
Masterpiece of Colonial c%Iockmaker
Is Treasured as an Heirloom by
California Family.

Like many a California resident, q
very rare example of the skill of the
colonial clockmakers made two jour
neys to the Pacific coast before it's
residence was permanently estab-
lished.
Constructed by Samuel Terry in
Connecticut in 1884, the clock. is one
of the two earliest specimens Of his
work. Its mate is to be found in a
well-known Massachusetts, collection.
In 1914 the peregrinations of the ven.
cradle timepiece commenced when it
was taken from Connecticut to Ohio,
there to remain until 1870, when 1t
was taken to California. There it re-
manned for but two years, only to
start its journeyings once more to
seek a New England home. One year
ago it was taken again to San Fran
cisco by a member of the same fam
lily in whose possession IT has always
been.
The clock is inclosed in a heavy
mahogany case of simple design, with
a front inset of brilliantly colored
glass in, an elaborate landscape de-
sign. The mechanism of the time
piece is made entirely of wood.
AS the predominant note Of a dis
tinctly interesting hallway, the clock
forms the nucleus Of a collection Of
colonial heirlooms that Ire more thar

KNEW NOTHING OF COMFORT
Citizens Of the Middle Ages Lived III
What Today Would Properly
Be Called Pigstyes.

In following the evolution Of homes
from those of ancient times to those of
the Middle ages we are forced to the
conviction that in this, as in other
matters of culture, there was a decid-
ed r~etrograde movement. The medic
val home certainly left much to be de-
sired both in the way of art and COM
fort. Despite this fact it is regarded
by many as the ideal house, and, in
deed, is the starting point of our own
present system.
The truth is, that in the face of the
snowy effect of the knights retinue, OF
his feasts and banquets and the richly
adorned apparel of the lords and la
dies; despite the spacious halls and
colossal edifices, we are constrained
to believe that life in the homes Of
those days was nothing less than de-
p%lorable.
Apparently there is ample reason
for belief that the home in it's arrange
ment was barely habitable and that it's
ornamental furniture was not espe-
cially artistic.
1t tends to take away much of the
studied omanc of those times when
we consider that in the halls of the
Anglo-SaNons and other Germanic
tribes the people oftentimes slept upon
the same benches where they previ-
ously had eaten. In cold weather they
gathered around a fire kindled upon a
hearth in the middle of the baronial
hall, where for want of a chimney the
smoke filled the room until it finally
escaped through accidental holes in the
roof OF through open doors and win
dows.-Exchange.

Cause of Seasickness.

1t has been established to the salts
faction of scientists who have made a
study of it that seasickness is caused
by abrupt disturbances of the static
sense, whereby W. are enabled to
maintain u proper position in space,
the location of which is in the ear.
These abrupt disturbances consist of
violent oscillations of the fluid con-
tanned in the semicircular canals of
the ear. The fluid is banged against
n end of the canals and then the
other by the irregular movements of
the ship; the effect of this EARRING
and banging is t~elegraphed to the
brain and nervous system by delicate
nerve flaments and results in the
various obnoxious symptoms which
we group under the name of seasick-
ness.

the first necessity. and he can feed
himself. He can raise all that he and
his family need. buff he raises no
more than he needs the rest of the

plus supplies the world. Suppose the
surplus fails?
The farmer can raise the material
necessary to cloth himself and family
wool, cotton and silk, but if he raises
no the rest of the people will
go naked. It is the farmers surplus
material that clothes the world. Sup
pose the surplus fails?
The farmer can, if necessary pro-
duce his own fuel. He ian raise his
own wood he can burn corn cobs and
