What 1t Costs

According to figures given out by the
government bureau Of statistics, there
are consumed in the United States in
one year, about 40, 600, 900 barrels of
beer, 90, 1000, 900 gallons of proof spirits
and 80, 500, 900 gallons of wine. These
drinks, sold at retail, take out OF the
consumers pockets in a single year,
ST, 454, 119, 95e. This is quite a sum of
money, and n can not help consider
ing what could be accomplished with
it if it were really put to useful pur-
poses instead of being thrown away.
1t would provide 500, 600 families or
$500, 900 people-more than the entire
population of the states of New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine,
North Dakota and Montana-with COM
Portable homes, clothing and provis-
ions for a whole year.
1t would give to each family $3.50 for
provisions. $50 for clothing, $50 for
shoes, 500 for newspapers, magazines
and books, $50 for church charitable
purposes and would build for each
family a house costing S $1,000 with $3.50
to furnish it, TINS bestowing upon
each one of the 500, 900 families So, $50
and leaving a balace of 1864, 1l9, 900 to
erect 52,81S churches, each costing
81. 0OO

To Live Right

Substitute comfort for show. Put
convenience in the place Of fashion.
Study simplicity. Refuse to be be-
guiled into a style of living above
what is required by your position in
society and is justified by your re-
Set a fashion Of simplicity,
neatness, prudence and inexpensiye-
which others will be glad to fol-
low and thank you for introducing.
Teach yourself to do without a thous-
and one pretty and snowy things
which wealthy people purchase, and
pride yourself on being just as happy
without them as your rich neighbor is
with them. Put so much dignity, sin
certify, kindness, virtue and love into
your simple and inexpensive home
that its members will never miss the
costly fripperies and snowy adorn-
ments of fashion and he happier in
the coy and comfortable apartments
than most of Il wealthy neighbors
are in their splendid apartments.

Educational Fund

Supt. w. L. Stockwell in North Da-
kota Magazine: The grant made by
the federal government for the aid of
common schools and state institutions
was approximately 3,170,000 r of
land. Of this, 500, 900 acres have been
sold. The sale of this small amount
has created an endowment fund for
the common schools of 50, 429, O2l. 6S.
Of this amount 81, slS, 7S4.43 has been
paid in. For the various state insti-
tutions an endowment of 1871, S1S, 621.55
has been created of which 1926. $50 was
in cash. On this endowment the inter-
est is 3 per cent for deferred payments
on land and usually 4 per cent on non
ey invested in bonds. 1t is not diff
cult to see that our schools are richly
endowed. If the balance of our lands
should be sold at a minimum of $40
an acre, it would create a fund of S33,
600, 600. The care of such a trust fund
is not a small task and demands the
most thorough business ability. Dur
ing the past two years the board of
university and school lands has on
hand to invest cver 81, 600, 900, an a.
mount many times greater than any
previous board has had to handle. The
necessity of having it at interest, cou-
pied with the limited field of invest
ment, has caused the board much anx-
iety, which we, as secretary of the
board, have keenly felt. Practically
every school bond offered the board
has been bought. State bonds have
been bought and large blocks of school.
bonds held by outside parties have
been bought at a premium, thousands
have been loaned on first mortgages
on farm lands. The sum total of in
vestments for the last biennial period
is. in round numbers, $3.50, 900. The
urgentneed in connection with this fund
is a more extensive opportunity to in
vest. This is partially remedied by an
amendment which has passed one ses-
sion of the legislature. However this
fails to open n very excellent field
of investment, viz. the bonds of other
states.
