1t would appear that the steeple clock
is changed so frequently or is running so
incorrectly that it is impossible to adjust
any clock to agree with it for more than
a few hours. Recently all u clocks
were slow, then all of a sudden they
gained ten minutes in one day, and now
last night they have lost seven minutes.
This is regrettable for one of the most
valuable aids to business and working
people here is correct time.
The picture shown at St. Mary's School
House last night was a very charming
production and everybody who was pre-
sent at the exhibition agrees that it
deserved a better attendance which
is possible to be excused owing to there
having been two successive shows pre-
ceding this. At any rate this much is
scored that the class of film to be han
died is shown to be the right one, and
that which should appeal to those who
appreciate the clean, wholesome drama.

+ In conclusion wish to say every
farm ought to have small flock of
turkeys. True, the last few years tur-
keys have been the only clear money
crop with many of US because the
price received has been extra good,
probably better than it will be again.
Our climatic conditions are ideal
for turkeys. They gather most of
their own food, are great grasshop-
per exterminators and eat large guam
titles Of foul seed. And what does the
heart and mind more good than to see
about 70 big Bronze fellows coming
across the pasture, spread out in Skin
mish line formation playing havoc
with the enemy grasshoppers, at every
step.

Crocus Blooming On Dakota Prairie
Now

Do you know the Indian name for
the crocus, the brave little flower
which makes its appearance OF, the
North Dakota prairie early in the
spring? Do you know any of the
Indian myths or the stories the In
dams used to tell about the crocus
flower?
Bowls of crocus flowers, sturdy
staunch little blooms, have been ap-
pearing on the tables of Minot
the last week or two, the flowers
probably picked by some eager small
boy or girl, or perhaps some older
person who is fond of the little prai-
RE flower.
The Indian name for the crocus is
the basque flower. 1t is some times
called the prairie-smoke flower, the
gosling flower or the wind flower.
The people of the Dakota nation used
to say that the basque flower is very
friendly to the human race and speaks
a message to them. y;
