WEALTH FOR WEALTH's SAKE.
English Writer Sounds a Warming
Against Domination of MammOn.

Look about you, and. sooner or later
you will see some man to whom the
idea of wealth, as wealth, does not
appeal. | advise you to watch this
man closely for he will presently de-
monstrate to you that money domi-
mates everybody except the man who
does not want money You may meet
that man on your farm, in your viii
lage, or in your legislature But be
sure that whenever or wherever you
meet him, as soon as 1t comes to a
direct issue between you his lit
tie finger will be thicker than your
loins. You will go in fear of him;
he will not go In fear of you You
will do what he wants; he will not
do what you want. You will find that
you have no weapon in your armory
with which you can attack him; no
argument with which you can appeal
to him. Whatever you gain, he win
gain more. | would like you better
to be that man, because from the low
er point of view it doesn't pay to be
possessed by the desire of wealth for
wealth's sake. II more wealth is
necessary to you for purposes not
your own, use your left hand to ac-
quire 1t, but keep your right for your
proper work In life. If you employ
both arms in that game you will be
in danger of STOPPING; In danger also
OF losing your soul-Rudyard Kip

DEATH, THE GREAT LEvELER.
In the Republic of the Grave There Is
No Rank or Standing.

In the democracy of the dead, all
men at last are equal. There is
neither rank nor standing nor pre-

AT this fatal threshold the philosoph-
er ceases to be wise, and the song OF
the poet is silent Dives relinquishes
his millions and Lazarus his rags.
The poor man Is as rich as the richest.
and the rich man Is as poor as the
pauper. The creditor loses his usury,
and the debter Is acquitted of his OBJ
legation. There the proud man sur
renders his dignities, the politician
his honors the wording his pleas
ures; the invalid needs no physician.
and the iaborer rests from unrequit-
ted toll
Here at last is natures final de-
cree in equity. The wrongs Of time
are redressed, injustice Is expiated.

equal distribution of wealth. honor.

Don't Forget How to Walk.

The trolley car, the automobile and
the train have made transportation
so easy that people seldom walk any
more. They ride to business, to the
theater, the store. the resort. from the
country into town. from one street to
another, until walking has become al
most a lost art. In generation or
two more we vii! forget how to use
our legs. Man is by nature a walk
ing animal He was never made to
sit still and be swiftly moved from
place to place. And he is beginning
to show the results Of failure to use
the motor muscles, He Is becoming
too fat and pudgy, and no small por-
ton Of his i'll health might be traced
to this failure to develop his muscles
and use his physical facilities.

Knew He Was TRAVELLING Man.

A lady, visiting in Fargo from dis
tance the other day said, after she
landed from ner journey: 'T had pain
ful experience on the train. My little
girl, 10 years old, got cinder in her
eye and she suffered terribly. 1 didn't
know what in the world to do for the
poor child. Sitting several seats from
me was a gentleman who had been
watching my efforts to relieve the
child. At last, when she was standing
in the aisle, he came up and took her
by the hand, saying, in the kindliest
sort of tone, for her to come along
with him and he would try to relieve
her. She looked up at him, and then
willingly went with him to the water
cooler There he wet a towel with ice
water and laid it on her eye, changing
it often to keep it cold. After a while
he sent her back to me, telling her to
continue the operation. Then he went
back to his seat and never spoke to
me at all / wanted to thank him, for
it was such a relief to the child, for he
never gave me an opportunity"
The lady was asked how she knew
it was such relief to the child, but he
Piled: "Oh, / know it was one, for,
in the first place, saw his grips, and
then can tell one of them whenever
/ see him. They have an easy way
of moving about Then, when any
thing like this incident happens, which
have told you about, these travelling
men know just what to do, and they
are so nice about it. They are always
ready to help some traveller when help
is needed. j think they are the best
men in the world"

N. D. Agricultural College

John Anderson has a pretty good
work record Some of the weekly re-
ports show a little better, some of
them not nearly so we'll How does
this weeks record of work compare
with yours for the same date? His
business deals are set down in a man
ner such mat they can easily be to-
tailed. and he can find out at any time
what his expenses are up to date, reck-
oning from the first of the year He
can find out, too, with a very little
effort just how many days work he
puts on a field and after harvest he
can reckon up the time spent in pro-
ducing each crop.
You notice that he gives his fields
each letter as name; that he has a
separate column for every item and
every piece of work. It is safe to say
that after he has followed this plan
of keeping track of his expenses for a
couple of years he will know pretty
closely just what lines of farming are
giving him the best returns, and what
lines are being followed at a loss.
So much for John Anderson. Now
the agricultural college takes his
weeks record and files it away to-
gether with those that come in from
the others cooperating with the insti-
tuition. After Professor Doneghue has
the results of the seasons work before
him, he takes the whole mass of data,
and out of it he can work fairly ac-
curate results as to cost of living on
the farm, length of the working day,
and the cost of production for any
given crop.
Naturally the wider this investiga-
tion reaches the greater will be the ac-
curacy of its results. A thousand men
reporting will give closer averages than
hundred. Professor Doneghue wants
to get into touch with men all over
the state-men who are willing to keep
such records for their own use, and to
send copy of them to him at the
agricultural college weekly during the
year.
One man suggested that 1t would be
worth at least $1.5O a week to do this
work. 1t is, and he ought to have been
one of the first to have seen that fact.
IA good record for even one week will
be something for a man to live up to
in the weeks that follow Keeping it
from day to day will be cash in his
pocket.
Professor Doneghue wants at least
one thousand men, from every part of
the state Of North Dakota, to help
him in this work of determining the
cost of crop production in this state.
He will furnish blanks for the reports,
and the necessary postage.
This is a work that no one man can
do by himself. 1t is a work that can
be done by cooperation. such as is
now going on between the agricultural
college and the farmers Of the state.
You can help little; possibly you
may be able to help great deal
The cost Of production is matter

eetter Railroad Service.

IF state legislation was aimed at
better service on the railroads and less
attention paid to the reduction Of the
price of passenger fares the people
might receive more benefits" said a
Fargo travelling man today. Require
the roads to give the best possible
service in every way, and this would
result in larger earning power, which
would cause the roads to adjust their
rates to secure the largest amount of
travel at fair rate for transportation.
1t is obviously to the advantage of the
carriers to haul all the passengers and
freight they can possibly secure To
increase the travelling habit the roads
will Of course seek to meet the popular
demand.
Some twenty years since It required
no enactments of legislatures to get
the roads to reduce fares from S to 8
cents. But now--to use a piece OF
slang-the whole darn business be-
tween the legislatures and the rail-
roads is in mess, and every step
made by either makes matters worse
Feeling that their rights are being
abridged, the roads, following that
natural instinct to get even with some
body, have used the travelling man as
a scapegoat and the poor fellow be-
comes the victim Of this tangled web
"One of the first things the legis-
latures should do is to require the
roads to put auditors on the passenger
trains to collect the fares and relieve
the conductor so that this important
official, in whose hands thousands Of
lives are held, may devote his whole
time and attention to his train orders
and caring for the mixed lot of people
who compose the passengers on his
train. When this is done we will hear
of fewer wrecks and other delays in
travel. Conductors will be selected
with a view to these particular duties
and not to act as bookkeepers. Spe-
cializing is the order of the day, and 1t
applies to railroading as well as other
professions"

VIEWPOINT OF The
SALES MANAGER
ONE SALESMAN ASKED FOR A
VAcATIoN-HE DID NOT TAKE
IT-ANoTHER SEEMED TO BE
5UTTING AGAINST A STONE
WALL.

Nashville Tennesseean: promi-
nent salesmanager the other day said:
'I have just had an earnest appeal
from one of my statesmen for a vaca-
ton. I promptly replied that he could
have it, but to report to the Office at
once so that his work could be turned
over to another man who must at once
go into the territory. Then the sales
man asked me if he could get his place
when he came back. and / told him
that depended on the condition of my
force. He decided not to take his va
cation at this time Now / always
give my men ample time for recreation
and rest. think 1T is good for the
business to do so, but this must be
done at some other than the busy
season with u.s. Just now we have
more than we can do, and the fact
that this is the time of the year when
vacations are usually taken does not
mean that our business must be sacri-
feed"
This salesmanager then went on to
tell of another case he had: II have
another man who is bothering me just
now, for he is not showing results. He
says he is working hard and tells me
of the hard trips he is making. know
nothing to the contrary and will give
him credit for doing as he says he is,
but riding in the hot sun fifty miles a
day don't cut any ice, if nothing comes
of 1t in the way of business. He might
as well stand all day and butt his head
against stone wall. The thing !
want it for him ~ quit butting his
brains out and use them to find a
crevice somewhere. so as to get around
or through that wall and find the busi-
ness behind it. He writes me that
times are dull and and that he just
can't interest the buyers, Now / have
been on the road for many long years
and know that there are times when
the best statesmen are unable to make
a decent showing, but when my other
men are sending in good business and
this one continues to complain of hard
luck while working himself to death,
/ am constrained to think that there Is
something wrong somewhere / am
going to give him a further trial and
try to infuse little more ginger in
him, which IL he takes kindly he may

MANY EUROPEAN ACTS

The Great Sells-Floto Shows Con-
solidated will appear in Moorhead July
~.
While the trained wild beasts are a
great feature, the regular line of circus
acts is fully up to a high standard.
The wonderful Nelson family are a
surprise and have no equals in the cir
Gus world. The Riding Rooneys are
among the big acts; the Bertik Troupe,
Flying Lovetta Twins, the Bronze
Troupe of acrobats have no peers. The
Rhoda Royal menage and High School
horses are seen only with this show.
The clowns are funny, the gymnasts
clever; the elephants numerous and the
menagerie is large and the Armour
Prize Team great feature.
A free street parade will be given,
which will leave the grounds at 10
o'clock on the day of the performance.
