coRN ron NoRTH DAKOTA,

We note a very interesting fact in
connection with the holding Of farm.
ers' institute at Fargo, n. D.. recently.
Among other topics on the programme
was, "Corn For North Dakota and How
TO Grow It." The mere fact Of latitude
would on the face of it seem to place
this territory far north Of the corn belt;
but, to our surprise, when there last
summer we saw some large fields Of
corn. one at least of forty acres, and,
while no such crops Of corn will there
be grown as farther south, still the
happy faculty of this cereal in adjust
ing itself to climatic conditions seems
to be developing a type Of corn which
can be grown even in that far north
country with profit. South Dakota
made a splendid record on corn last
year, much better than was made il
some of the so called corn states,

Wilkesbarre. Pa, June 4.-Fifteen
hundred kegs of powder blew up at
the Oliver powder works. located on
the mountain south of here during a
thunder storm yesterday afternoon No
one was injured. Because Of the coal
miners strike and the consequent lack
of demand for powder, the works have
been closed down, and no one was
about the place except Superintendent
William Macdonald. The powder was
stored in two small buildings which
were situated close to a group Of Other
small structures. The superintendent
said he was standing near the build
ings, when a binding bolt of lightning
struck one Of the buildings, and botf
of them were wiped out of existence,

II you are tired Of farming tired Of
milking cows, blowing. reaping and
choring-dont make the mistake Of
renting or selling the farm and start
ing into a mercantile business in some
town. Nearly every community esn
furnish some financial wreck Of min
who has done this thing. 1t is the surest
way in which to get rid of the old farm
and dissipate the hard earnings and
savings of twenty-five or thirty years
that we know of. Business men have
their troubles which the man on the
farm knows but little of-deadbeats, a
savage competitive strife which is mer-
CHESS, fiuctuating markets, capriciCus
public to cater to, overdue drafts at
the bank and uncollectable assets. No
man can succeed in a mercantile bust
ness today who has not had careful
and thorough training in the line which
he may take up We call to mind one
case where a smooth drummer unload
ed on to a farmer who had just opened
a country store enough sal soda to last
the community for forty years. Better
by far give the farm to the county au
thorities to care for you the rest Of
your life than buy out a store, wher
the chances are that the county vii
have to take care of you at the publ,
expense.

young men who have worked their
way have usually been among the
most popular of the students. There
is not a great deal to be earned in
various ways indicated, but several
students in almost every class thus
meet at least half of their college
expenses, and some considerable
more than half. AS the college
grows the opportunity of earning
money by students will undouht-
edly increase. The electrical de-
partment is likely to have more
employment for students, and there
will in time be an opportunity fol

IRRIGATION BY THE GOVERNMENT.
Reclamation of waste and desert
land by systematic irrigation on large
sclle Is to receive the attention Of the
general government now for the first
time. 1t is a grand and farreaching
work, Of infinitely more promise than
the investment Of millions in pulling
sllags and dredging sandbars in I'M
namable and unnavigable creeks. The
almost universal verdict Of the Amerl-
elm people on this question Of reclama,
ton of territory by government aH'
thority is that it should be promptly
and inteligently undertaken, the pro
deeds of all reclaimed land sold to be
/ devoted to the work Like the posta
department, we believe that irrigation
by the government may be self sus

tFrom the Youngstown vindicator.)
The fact that there. are at present
three fire stations in Akron that are
not yet paid for and there is not
enough money in the treasury TO oper-
ate two of them is a serious hinder
ance to the fire chiefs plans for an
other station in the Summit City.
Akrons fire chief may feel that owing
to the citys finances he's badly Grip
pied, but he should reflect upon the
state of affairs in Canton. There the
department chief recently reported
that there was only one nozzle in the
equipment fit for service. Some peo-
pie never know when they are well
off till they see how others are com

Arkansas that u boy climb

the corn was getting along, and now
the corn is growing UP faster than the
boy can climb down. The boy Is
plumb out of sight. -Four men have
undertaken to cut down the stalk with
axes, and save the boy from starva-
tion, but 1t grows so fast they can't
hack twice in the same place. The
boy is living on nothing but raw corn,
and has already thrown down four

Now it is a genuine pleasure to the

tain that your excellent grandfather
knows he Is right when he says there
is not bit of truth In that Arkansas
story which you repeat, which was
printed in this Wise and Otherwise
column the other day? Are you GER
tain that he could not be mistaken?
Strange things are happening all about
us every day. While the Democrat has
not said, and does not now say that
that Arkansas corn story was true,
! you know, friend Marguerite, that the
world is made up of all sorts of peo-
/ pie. and all sorts of news and stories
must be printed to please them all,
Still the Democrat thanks you very
much for your kind letter and gentle
criticism, and hopes ever to deserve
to be called your friend.
