their presence, but ruin was left In
their wake. 1t was occupied by the
/ French some time early in the Six
teenth century, and it was wrested from
them by a ruse, the details of which
were recorded by Sir Walter Raleigh
| himself, who was governor Of Jersey
some fifty years later, as follows:
A Flemish vessel arrived off the
coast, and the sailors pretended that
their captain was dead and asked
leave to bring his body ashore for
burial On permission being granted,
they carried the coffin up the hill to
| the little church of Saint Magioire,
and there. closing the door. they opened
the coffin, which was full of arms,
turned on the French garrison and
surprised them, killing some and TAX
ing the rest prisoners.
Soon after this the island was again
deserted, until from the island of Jer-
/ sey arose a man who was finally to
establish the future constitution Of
Sark. This was Sir Heller de Car
teret, the fifty-eighth seigneur of Saint
Ouen, in Jersey, to whom, in 1865,
Queen Elizabeth granted the island
conditionally by letters patent under
the great seal of England.
| This royal grant gave to Sir Heller
and his successors almost unlimited
powers on condition that he colonize
the island with forty families. to each
of whom he allotted a portion of the
land to farm. Each man was equipped
with musket for the defense of the
island; so that to this day it is often
spoken of as 1.-The island of the forty"
| and even now. when a farm changes
hands, it is still cited as one of the
conditions of the deed of conveyance
that man with a musket shall be
/ kept on the farm.

"You forget that Bill Dingle is nv

dollars from the bank and pay off
those sheepmen. They'll stick on the
job and take good care of those range
sheep, when they know they're being
watched"
"And do you intend keeping Bill
Dingle and his men in your private
hoosegow indefnitely?"
"Oh, no, not indefinitely, Ken. I've
only sentenced them to thirty days for
trespass and assault with intent to
do great bodily HARM"
"But Dingle claims that part of his
remuneration as manager for Tom
Antrim was an interest in the lamb
crop. He'll charge you with stealing
his lambs and sue you for huge dam
ages"
"But I'll give his foreman a receipt

duplicate receipt. Sign it myself, too"
Don Jaime, you're hopelessly
medieval If Dingle charges you with
kidnapping and swears that you held

to make him sign over his interest
in those lambs, it's going to cost you

AFTER 20
bowel trouble

Constipation may very easily become
chronic after forty. And any continued
constipation at that time of life may
bring attacks of piles and host OF
other unpleasant disorders.
Watch your bowels at any age.
Guard them with particular care after
forty. Whenever they need any help,
remember doctor should know what
is best for them.
"Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin"
is a Doctors prescription for the boweLs.
Tested by AZ years practice, it has
been found thoroughly effective in
relieving constipation and its ills for
men, women and children of all ages.
1t has proven perfectly safe even for
babies. Made from fresh laxative
herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless
ingredients, it cannot grippe; will not
sicken you or weaken you; can be used
without harm as often as your breath
is bad, or when your tongue is coated;
whenever headachy, bilious, gassy
condition warns of constipation.

"Know How" the
Secret of Dress
Two Points That Must Be
Considered, According
to Professor.

Most women don't know how to
dress. they tell us at Teachers col
lege in New York.
'"The majority of women today"
says Professor Locke of the college
household arts department "do not
know how TO dress properly or how
to get the greatest value and salts
faction from the money they spend
for clothing" And the professor pro-
ceeds to tell US how to do it:
There are two things to be con-
sidered when a woman dresses.
'First, she should dress to make
the most of her physical appearance
and bring out her best points. Sec
ond. she should dress to bring out
the best traits of her personality.
The two are quite different things.
The first has to do with physical
characteristics, such as the shape of
the face, nose, lips, the size and
shape of the hips, while the second
has to do with charm and grace.
"In bringing out either the physical
appearance or personality, one has
several tools to work with. These
are line. color, size. shape, and pro-
portion of the masses which go to
make up the costume, and the tex
ture of the materials. There are GER
tain fundamental principles in the
use of each of these which are neces-
sary for anyone to know in order to
dress effectively. They are practical
ly the same rules and principles that
any artist would use in creating an
effect in any medium"
That is all good advice, and we can
profit from it. But it seems to me
the professor has omitted to mention
the one great obstacle to becoming
dressing on the part of many women.
And that is Fashion.
When the style arbiters in Paris
launch a new sleeve OF new shout
der or a new skirt their concern
is not with the special problem Of
Mrs. Smiths surplus weight or Mrs.
Jones' round shoulder-that is what
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones, if they
are wise, will consider primarily
when they buy clothes. More often,
however, they allow such terms as
''the very latest" "the smartest thing"
to make them oblivious to the indi-
vidual phase of their dressing prob
lem.
Smart dressing and becoming dress
ing are not incompatible. But for
those of us who do not have model
figure and coloring, it does present
problem. How to get clothes that be-
come us, that express our own per-
sonality, and that are yet in good
taste and in the mode. II can be
done-for any and all of us-but it
takes time and thought-particularly
on abbreviated incomes.

King Solomon Was Second
Judean Monarchy Ruler

Solomon, the son Of David, who
succeeded his father on the throne
of Israel and ruled from 974 until
937 B. c., was the second ruler in
the Judean monarchy, and was Of
that branch of the white race which
settled in Palestine in prehistoric
times. Modern Jews are descended
from the same stock, says a writer
in Pathfinder Magazine.
The assertion sometimes heard
that Solomon was of the black race
is no doubt founded on the fact
that Ras Taffari, ruler of Abyssinia,
claims to be a descendant of King
Solomon. This claim is no doubt
well founded, for the civilization
and culture of Ethiopia (now Abys-
sinia) parallels that Of Egypt, and
early records and legends may be
given historical credence. The
queen Of Sheba visited Solomon
when he was king, and from their
son, Menelek, the kings Of Abys-
sinia claim direct descent. There
are unmistakable traces of white
blood in the Ethiopian aristocracy.

Cowbird Leaves Eggs for

The cowbirds are birds of doubt

foster mothers to hatch and bring

who cast the golden calf for the

Increased Enrolment at y
Morris Farm School
Parents Are Keeping Their Boys
and Girls in School at Ire
mendOus Sacrifice.

A substantial increase in enroll
ment, as was anticipated from adj
vance registration figures, was re-
allied when the West Central
School of Agriculture at Morris OPP
ened for the new school year on
October 2. A total of 226 students
were enrolled during the first week
of school and this figure will be in
creased by late registrations.
This represents a very substan-
tial increase over the attendance of
last fall when 1913 students were en-
rolled. Had there been a good crop
in West Central Minnesota this
year, the school authorities are
confident the farm school would
have been again filled to capacity.
Crop conditions were almost a total
failure throughout the entire ter
ritory of the school, from Wilkin
County on the north, to Lyon Coun-
ty on the south, and from the file
of correspondence in the Regis
trars office this condition prevented
scores of young people from at
tending the Agricultural school.
The increased attendance is large
ly a result of a tremendous desire
on the part of young people to go
to school this year. Supt. Miller
states that great many students
and their parents are making every
sacrifice to keep the boys and girls
in school, and the serious attitude
on the part of students in beginn-
ing their work is evidence of the
fact that the entire student body
is in a very earnest frame of mind.
A splendid year, from the stand
point of scholastic achievement is
anticipated.

Worlds Fair Display
for Permanent Exhibit
MinnesOta's Century of Progress
Material May Be Shown at
Coming State Fairs

Recommendation has been made
by w. D. Stewart, director of the
State Division of game and fish, to
the Minnesota Conservation Com
mission that acceptance be consid-
cred of the Minnesota exhibit at
the Century of Progress exhibition
at Chicago and that the material
used at the Worlds Fair be rebuilt
and used in connection with COM
ing Minnesota State Fairs. The
proposed plan has the entire ap-
prevail of Raymond "A. Lee, Stat,
Fair Secretary.
At the close of the Worlds Fair,
all exhibits will be removed. The
Minnesota commission has agreed
to present the state exhibit in its
entirety to the Department of con-
servation.
Mr.. Leo hls suggested the set
ting aside of a most central loca-
ton in the state fair grounds for
the erection of a suitable building
to house the exhibit. The proposed
site would occupy the present land
now used as a street railway ter
minal. The tract in mind is 800
feet by 400 feet.
The interior of the building could
be devoted to displays of live fish
and mounted life specimens, togeth-
er with features depicting consec-
walton activities. On the exterior
could be displayed wild animals in
Guiding moose, caribou, elk, deer,
bear, beaver and the like. The
grounds could be Handicapped with
flower beds and shrubpery with ex-
hibits by the Forestry Division, &C
cording to suggestions offered by
Mr.. Stewart.
Motion pictures could be used,
with changes from year to year,
that would prove interesting and
educational.
In commenting upon the propos-
al, Mr.. Stewart says: Such an ex-
hibit would be an outstanding
monument to conservation and ]
believe that here is presented a
splendid opportunity to further the
cause of our natural resources. The
exhibit cost thousands of dollars
and should be kept intact as far
as possible that Minnesotans who
did not get an opportunity to see
the display in Chicago may do 20
at our own state fair. Our fair is
the logical place in my opinion to
place this wonderful exhibit"
