Travellers Tales


1t was during the recent sully trial
in the district court that the whisper
Of one OF the attendants caused a
ripple of laughter to stir the district
courtroom.
Judge Engerud had risen and re-
marked to the jury that he was indeed
sorry to say that he would not be
able to make formal and lengthy
plea for the defense A severe cold
prevented Engerud from making
lengthy talk, but while he was on his
feet he asked the jury to bear with
HON while he designated a few OF the
important points in the case that was
before the jury.
When Taylor Crum rose to his feet,
the courtroom was stilled. Crum be-
gan slowly and carefully to pick up
the threads of the case and 1t was
with utmost precision that he brought
out the bright lights in a most favor
able manner.
In the course of his address he
called out: And gentlemen of the
jury. want to call your especial at
tention to a point that was presented
to you by my colleague, Brother En-
gerud-"
What church." was the whisper
that was heard from one of the at
tendants. loud enough to be heard
over the courtroom.

BOARD or CONTROL.

When the republicans met last fall
to adopt state platform the question
of board Of control for all state insti-
tutions was fought out So much OPP
position to a state wide board devel-
| oped that the idea was dropped and the
platform stood only for a board for
penal and charitable institutions
During the campaign there was no
especial demand for a board of con-
troll for the state educational institu-
tons. No party or individual promises
were made-and the members of the
legislature are in no wise obligated to
enact such aSmeasure.
They are however, in such a posi-
ton where they viii be expected to
enact law I'm accordance with the
platform-and in the future the state
penitentiary, the state asylum and the
reform school will probably be under
one organization.
This will give the people an oppor-
tunity to see how the measure works.
If it is found in few years to be sat
isfactory it might be extended
At present the state educational in
stitutions are too much in the forma-
tive period and need individuality to
such an extent-the present methods
of Independent boards will no doubt be
more satisfactory.
In fact the educators themselves |
have the means to prevent a state
board of control-by judicious man
agement Of the separate institutions
by not being too grasping-and above |
all by avoiding too much duplication |
Of effort.

THE BOY SCOUTS.

Educators and business and profess
sional men or Fargo are making no
mistake by throwing their talent and
energy on the side of the boy scout
movement.
In this country the movement has
already assumed large proportions,
though of course up to this time can
not be compared with results achieved
in England. Still the progress made in
America during the brief time since
the movement was launched is SUI
premely encouraging. 1t is safe to as
sumo that within the next few years
boy scouts will be as numerous in
America as they are in England.
Why not? No. other movement of
recent years promises more good than
does the boy scout movement Per-
haps many persons who are afraid of
any training for boys having in 1t a
suggestion of RECOMMENDATION will not
like the boy scout idea They viii see
In 1t the hobgoblin OF militarism-
hence will not take kindly to it.
Of course the boys who join the
movement viii get certain amount
Of military training. They will learn
how to do great many things SOL
diers In the service often are required
to do Why shouldn't they know how
to do these things? The time might
come In their lives when such training
would be Of great advantage the them.
But the military training il only an

DOWN ON THE FARM.

Phenomenal success in farming and
the prevailing high prices in farm pro-
ducts have caused many to seek in
vestments in improved North Dakota
farming lands. Many farmers sons
AS has been the case for years-con-
tinue to leave the farm. They seek
employment in commercial and indus
trial fields. But to offset this there is
tendency among people in the cities
to engage in farming.
For a great many years the sons of
farmers left the farm at an alarming
rate. Indeed, so large number were
leaving annually that thoughtful and
observant people sought to find the
cause. Many reasons were assigned
The most common one was the failure
On the part of fathers to adequately
compensate their sons for the service
they rendered.
At the time, however, when so many
were leaving the farm-to the great
alarm Of the countryside farm indus
try was at a low ebb and the farmers
had to make every edge cut to escape
ruinous debt.
The drudgery of farm work with lit
tie compensation caused the boys to
seek more inviting fields of endeavor
but as the years went by change
for the better came. Improved meth
DDS in farming took the place of the
old way. Prices of produ It's advanced.
1t soon became worth while to be a
farmer Then it was the farmer BOYS
concluded to remain on the farm. Not
so many are leaving North Dakota
homesteads now as in days gone by.
Farm lands are higher now and in
greater demand than ever Beforehand
the reason is not hard to find. Pros
perity and contentment among the
farmers and desire among them to
retain their farms-with an increasing
demand from the cities for farm prop
erty, combine to advance the price of
farms
1t Is astonishing how farm values
have increased during the past ten
years. In some notable instances,
where farms sold for $4,000 to SIC. 1000
then, they are now seIIing from $4,000
to $4,000. Because of the advancing
price, improved and desirable farms
have changed hands repeatedly.
The farmer. seems to have come into
his own. He is making money. He is
his farm-reclaining waste
spots-building good fences-good
roads-and otherwise adding to his
property.
Farmers are getting out of the old
rut by taking advantage Of scientific in
struction on farming. The North Da-
kota farmers are beneiting by the ex-
periments made by the federal govern
ment at Washington and by the state

BUY RED CROSS SEALS

II would be impossible to tell of all
the good work that the money re-
ceived from Red Cross stamps last
years has done during the past year,
but few instances may be cited
In Chicago, little over $4,000 was
realized, and this money for Ave
months supported eight free tubercu-
losis dispensaries. together with eleven
visiting nurses, 1850 new patients be-
Ing examined and S,760 visits made
TO the clinics In addition to this for
the same Ave months the central Of
flee Of the Chicago Tuberculosis in
stitute was supported and through
this office hundreds of thousands Of
people were helped in that city and
throughout the state of Illinois.
In Brooklyn, the $4,000 taken In
from the stamp sale has gone to sup
port ferry boat { camp with an
average daily attendance of 75. Many
patients have been restored to health
and usefulness as the result of this
work.
In New York the County Red Cross
Day camp on the roof of the Wander
bilt clinic has given a chance for new
health to hundreds of consumptives.
Similar camps have fought the fight
against tuberculosis in Kingston, N
r., Schenectady, N. r, Washington, d.
c., Kalamazoo, Mich, Cleveland, Ohio,
and in many other cities.
Special nurses have been provided
from the Red Cross funds and in
some cases, tuberculosis dispensaries
have been established. Literature has
been printed and distributed, lectures
given, exhibits conducted, and legis-
latures. municipal and county au-
thorities stirred to activity, as the
