North Holland has undergone many
changes in it's water-washed boun-
daries. The first efforts were precau-
tionary, the war with the waters be-
ing wholly on the defensive. The hold
ing of the streams in check, keeping
them within their proper channels, al
lowed some of the marshes to become
dry. This gain of land whetted the
peoples appetite for more. Dutch
farmers yearned for thousands OF
acres too shallow for fisheries but
ideal for pasture land to produce
cheeses for foreign markets. This led
to draining of inland lakes and coastal
strips by windmills-the most charac-
teristic feature of Holland land
scapes."

Monk, in 932, Predicted the
Astonishing" Advances.

Paris.-One thousand years ago the
monk Theodosius sketched In broad
lines what might be expected of the
world in 1882. He foresaw a great
increase Of population. astonishing adj
vances in the sciences, especially in
botany, zoology and astrology. and so
great an increase in the demand for
books that "pious monks will sit night
and day copying and recopying the
manuscripts of the great bishops of
long ago."
Some of Theodosius' guesses went
as far afield as others went true, ac-
cording to Charles Richet. who gives
in lie Matin, a translation of per-
tinent parts of the manuscript, which,
he says, he discovered by chance in
Franciscan monastery at Ravenna.
''Will there be year 10O0?" Theo-
dosius asks. MANY good Christians
imagine that the year 1000 will see the
end Of the world and the final cata-
clysm. But this is probably an error.
God is too good to wipe out the human
race.
"What shall we find after the year
1000? To seek to know that Is not
impious. One thing is certain, that
well before the 1000 years which }
have in mind, the terrible religion In
vented and propagated by Mahomet
will be destroyed together with the
hideous book called the Koran, which
was dictated by Satan himself. The

Hollands "Old Man Sea-
as a Name Is No More.

Washington.-Dutch engineers have
divorced Zuiderzee completely from
the North sea by an 1S-mile dixie. Part
of the former saltwater gulf will be-
come a fresh-water lake, to be known
as Ijessel lake, or, in the Dutch, lies
selmeer. Most of it, however, will be
pumped dry and developed into neat
Dutch farmsteads.
"In separating the Zuiderzee from
the ocean the Dutch are no more than
retaining their own" says bulletin
from the Washington Cd. CO. head
quarters of the National Geographic
society. "Six hundred years ago
much of the late Zuiderzee was dry
land, protected from the North sea by
sand Dunes Then the sea rolled in.
Today a huge man-made dixie will
make possible an increase in the total
land area of the Netherlands of Z per
cent, and in the arabic land of 10 per
cent.
Played Important Part.
"The Zuiderzee basin, with an area
of more than $4,000 acres, is almost
as large as the state of Rhode Island.
Situated in the very heart of northern
Holland, it has long played an impor-
tant part in the commerce and social
life of the country. While Holland is
rejoicing with her engineers in their
greatest victory over their ancient
foe, the sea, the fishing villages and
quaint islands of the Zuiderzee, be-
loved of tourists, are silent. Most of
the sea ports along the shores of the
Zuiderzee are destined to become in
land farming villages, connected with
saltwater only by canals, while is
lands may be hillocks, only slightly
raised from encircling fields of grain,
vegetables and flowers
Among the ports which will be-
come rural centers are Edan, famous
for it's globular cheeses. It once was
the water-gate to Amsterdam when
the only approach to the greatest of
Dutch cities was via the Zuiderzee.
Now a deep canal connects Amster-
dam directly with the North sea. Art

lendam, and the arrival of the little

Lost Battalion Site Is

Argonne forest has uncovered the
whole setting of one Of the most dra-
matte incidents of the World war, the
fight against circling Germans. thirst

Lost Battalion" Under the leaves of
ID autumns, the searchers found re-

heroes.
As searchers brushed away the
leaves and cut through the young sap

found on the north side of the gulley
between Binarville and Apremont his
toric evidence of the great struggle.
The side of the hill is honey-combed
with "foxholes," cut into the shale
and just large enough to hide man.

found that they had lost contact with

MacTavish, editor of the Winnipeg
Tribune, who has made survey of
conditions in Saskatchewan, said
Saturday that Saskatchewan has
staged a 80 per cent comeback in one

province represent substantial buy

The Tribune article, from Regina,
reads in part: -. last year the
government had to find $l8O00,000
for relief. This year $l,000,000 will
be ample"
This spring 100000 acres were
seeded with wheat supplied by the
government. Next spring require
ments will not exceed 100000 bushels.
Last year $1,000 families required
relief. This year there will be 5000
families :"
Ninety per cent of the farmers of
the province will be able this year to
pay current years taxes, repay the
government for seed, binder Irvine
and binder repairs; pay all expense
Of the years work, and have enough
money left to live until next harvest

Pembina Pioneer Is

Cavalier, N. D., Sept. 17.-R)-
John Page, about 10, pioneer resident
of Pembina county, was killed Friday
night when a car he was driving ran

Two boys, Wayne Rowe and Jack
Page, a grandson, riding with Page,
were thrown clear of the machine
and were only slightly injured.
According TO witnesses, the car
went into the ditch when Page lost
control of it. The swerving machine
threw the boys out and the car con-
tinued until it hit crossing and
then turned over several times.
Page came to Pembina county about

'HOss' Thief Active
In Burleigh County

Shades of the frontier days
"hoss' thieves are active in Bur-
leigh county.
A horse and saddle, valued at
500. were stolen from Fay Edge
ley six miles northeast of Bis
marck Friday night.
Once the news would have gal
vanized the entire community in
to immediate action, but today it
was taken as routine investiga-
ton job at the sheriff's office.
In 1880 the cry of "hoss" thief
was signal for the militant citi-
zenry to stretch a rope to the
nearest tree. In 1882 it failed to
arouse even flicker of interest in
the placid life of the community.
It was just another larceny.

we submit that the inclinations of the
great roads ought to have weight with
the commissioners and with the peo-
pie of the territory. They have pre-
coded the march of civilization in its
progress into Dakota. They have in
vested heavily in building up and set
Ting the country, and on such a ques-
ton as this their wishes ought to have
due consideration. Neither the G. M.

interested in its prosperity, and they
will mutually assist each other in its
development. A beautiful site is Of

in the bill will be raised by residents
of this city. We have no need Of or
ganizing a syndicate of nonresident
Spectators to raise the money, buy
up the land and speculate on the ac-
ton of the commission. No scandal
will result in locating the capital here;
no suspicious of improper motives: no

and it's accessibility. We hope that
we do not overstep the bounds Of
propriety when we ask the members
of the commission to come here and
view our city. Those who have seen
it recently will know that we have
fairly represented it. Those who have
not will have ample proof that we
tell the truth.
These considerations we submit,
trusting that the commission will at
least give our claims due considera-
ton. We have tried to present them
calmly and dispassionately, and we
hope that they will receive due atten-

to the citizens Of Aberdeen. II we
