Marbles a Different Song.

Pink Paper: No extra session should
be called unless there is urgent neces-
sity. In this case it is urged that there
is necessity for action which would
give relief to our state institutions. the
state University in particular. III this
particular it is amusing to note the
attitude of the Grand Forks Herald.
At the time when Governor Allin pro
posed to let the university go without
an appropriation the Herald stood ny
him and said it was right that the in
stitution should be closed so far as
the state was concerned. Now when
there is no trouble but a little debt, it
makes a tremendous effort to show
why through extra session, or by hook
OF crook, the slight drawback should
be removed. Comments are unneces-
sary, and probably ~unbecoming, but
We can have our little laugh ali to our
selves at the two positions it has taken
on similar matters relating to the uni
versity.

the whole state of North Dakota. For

the whole state of North Dakota. For
this reason it is to be urged that there
be a general attendance from the state
of North Dakota. 1t will help the rep
resentatives of the state in presenting
the claims of North Dakota at Wash
ington. 1t will impress upon the gov
eminent department in charge of the
work the interest that is felt in North
Dakota and it will give the work an
impetus that it could obtain in no other
way. Public men through the state
should urge the importance of the
meeting. Public bodies should take
steps to appoint delegates who will at
tend. The people of North Dakota
Dakota cannot afford to let this OPP
portunity pass for the benefit of a large
and important part of the state. both
east and west of the Missouri river
and in the Red River valley.

BABY EVERY FIVE MINUTES.
Rapid Increase in Birth Rate in New
York CITY.

New York, Sept. 25.-There is con-
sternatioN among the members Of the
board of education over the assertion
in a report of Commissioner Of Educa-
ton Haupt for the Sixth school dis
trict that the average rate in increase
of the number Of babies in ManlA tan
has grown from five to eleven an hour,
or baby every five minutes. These
figures were furnished by DR.. Haupt
as the result of an investigation which
the board of education is carrying on
to find out what preparation it must
make to provide room which the
babies of the present will need as the
pupils of a few years hence.
DIR. Haupt states that he also finds
that the death rate for children is fall
ing from one-third to one-tenth. owing
to measures for protecting babies from
impure milk and unsanitary arrange
ments. He believes that in the main
the increase is caused by the tire
mendous immigration to New York
city.
DIR. Haupt asserts that babies are
born at the rate of one every four min
utes in the neighbOrhood of Houston
| street and about one a month in the
Murray hill residence section. These
two quarters are the extremes OF the
social divisions.

et@zD

One of the most important public
meetings that has ever been held or
ever will be held in the state is the
proposed irrigation congress for North
Dakota, called to meet at Bismarck
October 20 and 81. Prominent men all
over the northwest will be interested
in the matter and able speakers will
address the convention. 1t is likely
that ]. ]. Hill of the Great Northern
road, who is interested in irrigation
and has advanced ideas on the subject,
will assist in the furtherance of the
proposed Bismarck meeting. The i'm
portance of concerted and energetic
action on this matter of irrigation cali
not be overestimated. There is a
large territory in North Dakota that
a be made t bloom like a garden
spot with an assured moisture. The
topography of the country in the west
ern part of the state is such that ex-
tensive dams can be built and vast
territories irrigated with a compare
lively small expenditure of money.
The question in the western part of
this state is not so much the obtaining
of water from distant sources, as its
storage for use when needed. We are
at the outset of an enterprise which
promises untold benefits for North Da-
kOta. Not alone in the western part
OF North Dakota is this matter import
ant. Congressman Spalding will pre-
pare and introduce an amendment to
the irrigation law, providing that
where there is a portion of country
with an exces of water at certain
times of the year. that a portion Of
the funds not needed for the work of
irrigation may be applied t.. the drain
age of the land. This would be of
vast Importance to the Red River val
ley. North Dakota is peculiarly stu
ated, a portion of the state experience
ing a deficiency of rainfall at certain
times. and the extreme eastern edge
suffering from too much water and in
sufficient drainage. These considera-
lions show how vitality important the
proposed meeting at Bismarck is to

North Dakota's third congressman
Congressman ]. Adam Bede of Mime
sofa having agreed with his North Da-
kota friends to act as congressman
for this state as well as Minnesota
appeared at his best before a banquet
Of the Associated Press in New York
recently and while he naturally
bubbles with wit he struck a new
spring on this occasion and added fresh
laurels to his stock. The civilizing in
fluence of the United States seems to
have been the SUBJECTIVE label of the
inspiration not mentioned. In the
course of his remarks he said:
You may remember the effort that
was made to start aChristian Endeavor
society some time since in the Philip
pines to bring about a state of civiliza-
ton, but at last they had to give it up,
because there was nothing to pin the
badges on. daughter and applause.)
So I say, the world is getting a little
better along these lines, too. Why,
did you ever stop to think that civil
lization begins in a cold country? You
cannot go down Cat least you never did
go DOWN to the tropics and start a
civilization, and go north. You always
begin north and go south.
AS l said, great civilizations must
come from a cold climate, like the
United States. You are shaping the
destiny of the world. You have got
the power to do some things that l
cannot do. 1 have got the western
people to quit yelling for fiat money.
Now l would like you to get the east
ern people to quit yelling for fiat
stocks. Uaughter.) We will quit
watering III goods if you will quit
watering yours.
Il was talking to a friend of mine
who owns a large ranch in North Da-
kota-a large ranch; we do not call it
a plantation up there. He said he had
become worried with all this recent
progress; that he not only had to buy
improved machinery, but that it had
come down to a point where he had to
build a gymnasium on his farm to give
his hired men exercise after they came
in from their work. daughter and
%applause.) So l say, the world is get
ting better-and easier. Uaughter.)
In a little while farming will become a
profession. 1t will be one of the most
refined of the professions

A Real Animal Story.

Suddenly the Father Bear stopped in
his tracks, which were in the ground
directly under his feet. All bears stop
in their tracks, for reasons which I will
reserve for another story.
"Come along, you lobster" chided
Mother Bear gently.
There are many similarities of ex-
preston and demeanor which might be
traced between Mother Bears and
their human prototypes, but I shall
refrain from tracing any because my
wife is reading over my shoulder.

Not Worryinu.

Glendale Record: A number of the
state papers appear to be under the
impression that unless the bonds,
amounting to $3.50 0 are paid at once,
the industrial school will suffer there
by. This is rank nonsense. The $685.
900 was loaned to the school by An
drew Carnegie for an indefinite period
of time at an extremely low rate of
interest on bonds issued by the board
of trustees, and Andy hasn't made a
''holler" for his money. Who's worry
ing?
