those intelligently regarding the speaking
voice.
Finally, in universities consideration
would be granted the matter, which is one
likely to work upward, not downward. AS
those institutions are now regulated, the
most fragrant delinquents in proper use of
the voice are often the lecturing professors,
who, no matter how we'll stored their minds,
are given to exasperating monotony, to con-
slant recourse to the er-er-ah," hating
not only between sentences, but single
arouse the derisive amusement of their
pupils. Such examples retard not only
proper use of the voice, but the proper ac-
quirement of learning. Once an object of
ridicule, even good natured, man loses
generous share of his usefulness in imparting
anything.
By this insistence on the musical voice in
speech, | do not remotely infer that the
colloquial should be turned into arias; but
l do mean that people be shown how prop
erly to use the gift of voice naturally granted
them, to develop that gift in a natural man.
ner, and convert us from nation given to
varied and various tone abuses into must
cally speaking unit.
The effort required to attain it would not
be one of supreme difficulty, but of concen-
trated attention and concerted action. The
question is one of elimination, and supply
ing in place of the eliminated something of
inestimable and practical value.
1t means proper regard for the great essen
tial in daily intercourse, a musical voice,
which enhances the value of every idea put
into speech; it means that the imparting of
learning would be Illuminated; that the
stage would be strengthened by a charm
now largely absent; and that pulpits would
be filled by men fully capable of impressing
their messages upon congregations more
capable of approaching them.
As long as the cultivation of the speaking
voice in America is so absolutely disregarded,
our Wanted statistics of mental culture re-
main unconvincing.

chance. That's what l call art.
From the very beginning the situation was
complicated. But Tom Nichols came back
in time to add a new muddle. Tom is
rather quiet fellow, more good sense than
small talk, you know, not bit of a lady's
man; but it was wonderful what an attrac-
ton he seemed to have for Theodore. From
the beginning it was so pronounced as to
reduce about twenty other fellows to the
depths of detection. Grandfather noticed it
and hauled me over the Goals

very red and angry; 'but for you to stand

stopped him. Tom was as good as engaged
to Anna; but he was only human, and
Theodoras smiles were enough to turn the
head of wooden Indian. l had a suspicion
that Anna felt as | did, and Grandfather's
comments were as comfortable as being

vantages that existed largely in his magma

1t didn't help matters that she added an

URGES CONSERVATION
OF THIS YEARS FLAX.

Prof. H. L. Bolley of the Agricul-
tural college has sent out the following
bulletin:
To the flax growers Of North Dako-
ia: This is one of the driest years
that North Dakota farmers have ever
experienced. Flax on the flax lands
has not only had to compete with wilt
but it has suffered under drouth con-
ditions more severely than the crop can
usually withstand.
Many farmers who have sown flax
on old flax lands find that the wilt
i'll connection with the intense drouth
has been very severe.
l am writing this to say that no
farmer should allow the fact that there
is only a small amount of flax seed
produced in the crop per acre to pre-
vent him from saving the seed which
does grow for the flax plants which are
able to withstand both drouth and wilt
will produce seed which is of the
highest value.
Even flax which is quite thoroughly
resistant during ordinary years is I'M
able to withstand the wilt and canker
under the excessive drouth conditions
that have prevailed in pares Of the
state.
Those who have any flax which has
survived under these very discouraging
conditions should save every bit of the
seed for sowing purposes as it will
be OF much value to them in future
years.
Remember that it is the old story
Of the survival of the fittest, which is
in action under such hard growth con-
ditions.

HEALTH
BEST IN YEARS
"WE ARE FEELING VERY WELL,
THANK YOU" - DEATHS FOR
THE MONTHS OF JULY ONLY
FIVE so FAR WITH THE MONTH
ALMOST GONE.

In comparison with the two pre-.
ceding years and others dating still
further back, the present year has been
the best for the general good health
of the public of any time in the his
tory of this vicinity of North Dakota.
And this fact is all the more remark
able when the extremity of the weather
conditions this season are taken into
consideration. In the face of an I'M
precedented drouth, unequalled in the
last decade and a half, the excellent
health of the general public and the
low death rate is most unexpected.
At such times when the weather
goes to one extreme or the other it
is naturally expected that the general
health conditions will be poor, and it is
then that epidemics are looked for.
But this year the general concensus of
opinion of the city and state health
officials and other leading medical men
of Fargo who have given the subject
any attention, is that Fargo and
vicinity have never experienced bet
ter health conditions than at the pres
ent time.
The death statistics in the Offices Of
the city auditor are the best indica-
ton of the truth of this statement
During the current month almost
gone, there have only been five deaths
reported. For the corresponding month
Of last year there were thirteen
deaths recorded while in July 1908,
there were twenty deaths. Last month
there were twenty-three deaths and in
June 1909, fourteen, with twenty one

The system he uses is known as the
Campbell system. 1t consists, briefly,
In blowing the land six to ten inches
deep, then packing with a sub-soil
packer, then sowing wheat at the rate
Of one-third of a bushel to the acre,
-one-third, mind you-and then drag
ging the crop after every rain until the
grain is a foot high or more. Every
third year he summer cultivates the
land. That is, one-third of his land is
under summer cultivation all the time.
He treats the land under summer cul-
tivation as though he had a crop on 1T,
and drags it after each rain, and If the
weeds begin to show up he drags 1t IL

take the moisture out of the ground.
