THE OLD FASHIONED MOTHERS Thank God some of us have an

old-fashioned mother. Not a wo­man of the period, painted and enameled, with all her society manners and fine dresses, white jeweled hands that never fel' a sweet voice, eyes into whose cleat depth the love light shone, and brown hair just threaded with sil­ver. lying smooth upon her faded cheek. The hands, worn with foil, gently guided our steps in child­hood and smoothed our cheeks in sickness, ever reaching out to ua in yearning tenderness. Blessed is the memory of an old-fashion­ed mother. It floats to us like the beautiful perfume of some wood

Weeds are the worst enemies or Alfalfa. The demonstration plats of the International Har­vester Company of America at Grand Forks, where for the past few years experiments in Alfalfa growing have been constantly conducted, have shown this fact.

Foxtail or pigeon grass is the most prevalent weed in ALfalfa fields in the eastern part of North Dakota, while the Russian This­tle is often destructive to a good stand in the western portion. Land that has had a cultivated crop the preceding year or has been summer tilled the previous season, should be comparatively *ree from weeds. The proper method of destroying such weed seeds as remain in the soil is to disc lightly or harrow the ground at intervals up to the time of seeding. The -foul seeds are thus encouraged to germinate and grow, and are readily killed.

Dooder is. a parasitic plant that attacks and destroys Alfalfa.'It is introduced in the seed and must be carefully guarded against by purchasers and growers. Any doubtful samples should be. sent for examination to the Pure Seed Laboratory. Agricultural College, North Dakota.

m A DANGEROUS PASTIME I he first question an honor-

able man asks when he sees a girl flirting is whether she is a re­spectable girl or not. You see how it raises doubt at once. This being the case no modest girl can af­ford to indulge in this pastime among strangers. When the down is brushed from the peach the-beauty is so marred that it can never be restored, and so when a girl throws lightly aside that sweet and modest reserve so be­coming a maiden, she loses her greatest charm and becomes ra­ther common and cheap. Plirting may seem to the giddy and thoughtless girl to be wonder­fully amusing, and she may even get an idea she is quite fascinat­ing. but it is a degrading pastime and should be frowned upon by every young lady who has an am­bition to be a worthy and charm­ing woman.

TH£ OLD MAN , ®°ys. when you speak of your father don't call him the "old man. Of course you are older now than when you were taught to call him "father." You are much smarter than you were then you are much more manly look­ing. your clothes fit you better, your hat has a modern shape and your hair is combed differently, in short, you are "flyer" than you were then. Your father has a last year s coat, a two-year old hat and all that, but don't call him

old man." Call him '.'father." For years he has been hustling aro—^ to get things together, he has been held to the thorny path of ^"'"industry, and the brightest half of his life has gone from him forever He loves you. though he goes along without saying much about it. therefore be not so un­grateful.

make a very effective decoration m a large room.

Good bulbs have been cheap this year and should be used plants f°r winter flowers and

Hyacinths are among the best potted bulbs. Put one in a four-inch pot. or two or three in a six-inch pot.

ing bulbs in the house. They should be started early i-> Septem­ber. although a planting as late as this will often give good results.

Do not follow the easterner's advice to plant in the fall. Pae-onies and iris may well be plant­ed in the fall. Other things do better if planted in. the spring.

Some of the small pompon chrysanthemums make excellent house plants early in the fall. Cuttings may be taken in Febru­ary or March and rooted and grown in a cool place until the middle of May, wVen they may be planted in the garden. Take up and put in nots or boxes about the last of August. Set the pots in a .cool shady place a few days and they will recover quickly.

- " THE LOCAL-RARER ^ Ex-Governor Francis .once said

the following of newspapers: "Each year the local paper gives from $500 to $1,000 in free lines to Uie community in which it is located. No other agency can or. 'will dp this. The editor, in pro­portion to his means, does more fr his town than~any other ten men. and in all fairness he ought to. fce supported—©ot. because th* local paper is the pest investment a community can make. It may not be brilliantly edited-or crowd­ed with thought, but financially if is of more benefit to the commun­ity than the preacher or teacher. Understand me. I do not mean mentally $nd yet on moral Ques­tions you will find most of the papers on the right side. Today the editor of the local papers do tthe most for the least money of jany people on earth."
