May Contract
Much Fibre Flax

Grand Forks. N. D., Sept. 90
Possibility of 1900 acres being
contracted for the growth of fibre
flax in the vicinity of Greater
Grand Forks are seen by j. C. Cady
who has been here for the past
three weeks looking over the 200
acres of this flax that has been
grown experimentally here this
year. In view of conditions under
which the flax was grown this year
several of the fields have shown
up exceptionally we'll, Mr.. Cady
said.
It will be advisable to thresh
several fields for seed, according
to Mr.. Cady, since some of the flax
became overripe before it was cut
or contained too much weeds.
Farmers whose fields warranted
cutting for manufacturing purpos-
es will receive $50 a ton for their
crop and it is practically assured
that this amount will also be paid
next year. One requirement for
fibre flax is that the land be clean
and Mr.. Cary says that the normal
yield should be two tons to the
acre.

her Importance and influence in
her sons eyes.
Since Mr.. Prescott went away,
Miss Bradford has persuaded his
mother that the thing to do is to
give your apartment thorough
cleaning. Of course l think this is
only an excuse to 60 through your
most private things, but dare not
suggest this to Mrs. Prescott. In
iact, l think Mrs. Prescott also has
a sneaking curiosity to know
exactly what you have and how
you keep it. af q r
You Of course know that you,

colt wrote that to- you. AS hel
son took Sarah with little Jack. OF
course your mother-in-law has
usurped all the authority in your
apartment. Yesterday when / re.

them emptying your clothes clos.
cts, and the rooms were a sight
Trunks had been emptied, bureau
drawers turned out on beds and
sofas, and all the clothing that you
had put away in closets as well
as that on hangers, had been taken
out of the closet.
Your mother had hired a very
ordinary scrub woman to wash
down the walls and the floors, and
she told me she was going to- have
her brush your clothes and put
them back tomorrow. The woman
was slovenly in the extreme, and
l am quite sure she will never get
them back in the places where YOU
had them. s,,..

extravaganza in clothes.

MANDAN NEWS
NAY NOT LOSE LEG

Steve Kubisiak, care repairer in the
local N. p. shop force, who Thurs
day suffered severe injuries when
run over by freight car while he
was employed at repair work on
livestock equipment in the Sunny
yards, may not have to suffer am
putatiop of the limb, it was stated
by DR.. w. c. Allen, railroad surgeon.
The physician marveled at the fact
that a freight car could roll over a
mans leg without necessitating am
putation. While removal of the
right leg about midway between the
ankle and knee was considered al
most necessary yesterday, the con.
dition of the injured man was sur
prisingly favorable today. Good cir
culation prevails in the foot and the
leg below the badly crushed bones
and muscles. The broken leg was
the only injury sustained. Kubisiak
at present patient at the Deaconess
Hospital will soon be removed to the
Northern pacific hospital at Glen
dive.

LETTER FROM ANNETTE AN
DERSON TO MRS. JOHN AL

MY DEAR MRS. PRESCOTT:

MY DEAR MRS. PRESCOTT:
L hope you will forgive me for
bothering you, for with your fear
and grief over your fathers illness,
l certainly do not wish to add to
your burdens in any way. But l
have to tell you-and l may as
well do it first as last-that l am
going to leave Mrs. Prescott. Miss
Bradford and / cannot live in the
same apartment.
do not know what there is
about that old maid, but there sure
ly is something that brings out
every critical and unkind faculty in
your mcther-in-law's personality.
!, Mrs. Prescott does not strike one
Is being woman who is readily
influenced, but in her case l have
found how easy it is to appeal to
the worst that is in all of us. Miss
Bradford makes Mrs. Prescott feel
that she is not only abused and her
more than wonderful, infallible
judgment absolutely disregarded,
but she is all the time flattering
Mrs. Prescott's narrow egotism by
telling her that her opinion is much
better, on account of her long life
and experience, than yours could
possibly be. OF course l do not
mean this is being done in so many
words, but the intimation is clear.
l have been long enough, my
dear Mrs. Prescott, with all sorts
and conditions of men and women,
to know that age has nothing to do
with judgment. A child of Is is
sometimes better capable of judg-
ing the affairs of modern life than
a man or woman of 60, who has
grown up in a secluded environ
ment and is full of narrow-minded
prejudices.
Miss Bradford seems to sour all
the milk of human kindess that is
in Mrs. Prescott's heart. She has
made her think that her son,
through your influence is not treat

as convenient as possible for busy
business men in this town. They
bring their wares to the office build

Singing, dancing and flag waving
is profitable. George M. Cohan,
Broadway's song and dance man, has
just sold his country home. The
price was $347,O00. A newspaperman
bought it.
Vaudeville is being depleted of its
funny people. They are moving into
Broadway musical shows. Never be-

new comedy and laughing material.
Comedy acts are being looked for
two years solid. A fortune awaits
those who can amuse people.

"And now" said Mrs. Cracknuts
when they had gone, "I'll just send
their suits to Mister Snip Snap at
Nancy Nick and Company's store
to clean and press. Then they'll
be in good order for school next
week."
So she bundled up the two suits
and gave them to Daddy Cracknuts
to deliver.
"While I'm at it," said the old
gentleman squirrel, "I'll take that
