THE DUTIES OP MOTHERHOOD
"There is not a baby in the
world worth the .« uttering its
mother went through to give
it birth."—Mrs. Robert B.
Liggett.
There is not a mothe-. in the
world, nor many childless wives,
who will not protest againv such
rubbish. It is the outgiving of a
neurotic personality whos« aicu
tas processes have been distorted'
by fads tud colls. Mrs. Liatetf, ii
appears, is a twilight slee. lect
urer. "Twilight sleep is very es
sence a cult and a fad.
In a lecture before the women
of Seattle the other day. Mrs. Lig
gett advocated, among women of
rt'line.'iunt and intelligence, an
avid ici acv of childless wives. If
that ca'inol. he arranged, then let
there !.e an aristocracy of rellned
and intelligent, spinsters!
Then: must he no more matri
mony, unless, along with the mar
riago certiticate, there be given a
guarantee of painless childbirth.
At bottom, in a real pinch, there
are probably fewer cowards am

Mrs. Liggett of Duluth would
confide motherhood to women of
coarse and hardy type, "who
would not wear high heels and
corsets and who do not study mu
sic and art."' The latter are too
high strung and nervous to be
come mothers. Bui if all women
gave more thought to fitting them
selves, physically as well as men
tally, for motherhood, the child
ren of the world would make bet
ter citizens, because they would
be better born and reared.
Only a few days ago, some of
the serious-minded young wo-
the joys and consolations of ina- I'ave been solved, all worked
trimony and not its normal re
sponsibilities. is a coward. Yet, in
all the crooked thinking and
foolish talking of this woman, it
is possible to find a grain of truth
of which she probably has no con
solation.
men at Barnard College complain,
ed'to the Dean that there was notj
a course in the curriculum from
which young women could get any
knowledge of what those girls re
garded as the greatest work for'
all women—the bearing and rear-''
men ware on the right trail. The
childless wives advocates are
wandering in the forest of fool
isliness.
A woman's highest, duty, as
well as her highest privilege, is to
become a wife and a mother. The
lack in a childless home is ap
preciated only by those who have
to endure it. The light, of the lives
of children is the greatest light
in the world.
THE STATE FAIR
Because of the unusual degree
of prosperity throughout the1
.northwest this year the North La-i
kola state fair will probably draw
the greatest crowd in its history.
The fair management is making
every arrangement to provide an
attraction that, will merit the pa
tronage of the people of the en
tire section of the northwest, trib
utary to Fargo, and that means all'
of North Dakota and parts
Montana. South Dakota and Min
nesota.

Business men. hankers, mer

tending the state fair. They can
not fail to profit by such a visit.

what may be done with stock and

attend.
The entertainment features
have -not been overlooked. There
will be "somethinff doing" every
minute of the time. The Kiltie
btind, one of the world's most fa
mous musical organizations, has
been seeured as a feature and
there will be several state and lo
cal hands. The Wort ham shows
will provide the carnival features.
The fair management will again
stage a great series of automobile
races- which proved so popular
last year. Some of the most dar
ing dirt track drivers of the world
will he on hand to furnish thrills
for the crowds. The horse racing
program will undoubtedly bring
some of the fastest harness hor
ses of the west to the Fat'uc. track.

0IV0RCE IN SCANDINAVIA.
It la Very Easy to Obtain, and It Doaa
Not Cost Anything.
In Scandinavia divorce by mutual
consent is the recognized way. And
husband and wife may reach this agree
ment when neither bas violated any
marital obligation. The law, you see,
does not require them to wait until one
bas wronged the other. But when they
have reached the point where they two
know that their real union is ended
they may secure a divorce for the ask
ing. It doesn't cost anything. There
is not even a lawyer needed. The proc
ess is simple. You notify a magistrate
that you are separating. Ton are not
required to go into details. You don't
have to spread your marital troubles
on court records and newspaper pages.
One reason is as sufficient here as
when you entered into matrimony.
You simply state that you no longer
wish to continue the marriage. Then
one party to the contract goes away
for a year—in Finland it is for only
three months. At the end of the pe
riod the magistrate hands you the pa
pers that dissolve the marriage as
quietly as it was made.

NAVAL SIGNALING.
It Began In Aneient Days by Raising
and Lowering fails.
The origin of the idea of using flags
by day and lanterns by night for sig
naling in the navy came into being
as far back as the middle ages.
In those ancient days some one
thought out a method of raising and
lowering sails, the number of times
they, were raised or lowered indicating
the letter that was to be sent. That
proved very wearisome work and was
superseded in the seventeenth century
by the use of balls and cones hoisted
in various positions on the masts and
booms. At night different colored lan
terns were used.
In the following century twelve flags
were used, either singly or in combina
tion, and these flags supplied all the
signaling that was necessary in fight
ing. as "Make all sail," "Engage the I
enemy," "Chase the enemy" or "An
chor."
When the battle of Trafalgar was
fought the signals were sent by light.

not till after that battle that the sys-

Natural Aga of Man.
The question as to what is the nat
ural age of man is by no means set
tled, of course, but many are of the
opinion that the Frenchman Flourens
was not far out of the way in bis esti*
mate of the time a man should live.
Taking his observations from the
group mammalia, of the class vertebra
ta, as having the closest resemblance
to man and such sjieeies as are per
mitted to live the full term of their
natural life under circumstances not
admitting of error or doubt, Flourens
found that their natural life extended
to about fire times the period of their
lives from birth up to maturity. Ap
plying the rule thus obtained to hu
man life and taking the age at which
the body is fully matured to be twen
ty years, he concluded the natural
duration of the life of man to be 100
years.
