that alfalfa is q. drought resistant
plant and we know also that farmers
are growing crops successfully in
North Dakota that are not more
drought resistant than alfalfa. The
supposition is then that the lack of
water in this state is not going to
be the prohibiting factor.
Value of Alfalfa for North Dakota
Having expressed ourselves as
strongly as possible in the belief that
alfalfa will be coming crop for
North Dakota; it may be we'll to
dwell moment upon the value Of
this crop for the state. The secre-
tary of agriculture in his report for
1857 states: Further extension Of
alfalfa growing Oh large areas :.
is a prize that will be worth hun
dreds of millions of dollars yearly;
and it will be won." In 1891, Kan
sas was growing only $4,000 acres
cultivation 100000 acres of this
wonderful plant; and she has only
fairly started in the cultivation Of
alfalfa. Never again will Kansas be
spoken of as "bleeding Kansas"
Droughts anu storms of hail and of
locusts may occur, but her alfalfa
crop is an abiding source of wealth,
more valuable than government
bonds. The alfalfa crop of Kansas
is certainly worth to that state $1O,-
O0O, 900 annually over and above any
grown in its stead. If, then, alfalfa
is of such great Importance to Kan
sas, why may it not become of equal
comparative Importance in this
state? 1t certainly may and it GER
tainly will. But time will be re-
CURED. At the present time, per-
haps, there are not more than 500
acres of alfalfa under successful cul-
tivation in North Dakota. Under
normal conditions of farming it is
only the truth to state that the prea.
ent conditions of farming are alb
normal North Dakota should be
growing 100000 acres of alfalfa.
This would mean but 80 acres of al
falfa on each section and there is
no doubt in the mind of the writer
but what there is this much land
available for the crop.
The cultivation of such an area
would add many millions Of dollars
to the wealth of the state. A bust
ness firm may be doing much bust
ness, but it's methods may be ques-
tionable and it's paper subject to
discount. 1t has not the security and
integrity of a stable concern. The
same thing may be applied to meth
DDS of farming Pure grain farming
is sort of gambling proposition
and it is part of history that where
grain farming has been conducted to
the exclusion of other methods, that
the profits from such a method have
gradually decreased until they
reached the vanishing point and
farming has been conducted at a. !
loss.

Made tho Hunters Pay.


Robert Benwood, a farmer Of Great
Notch, N. j., made two young hunters
pay dearly for killing a year-old heifer
on his place. The young men, who
said they lived in Paterson, started
out to look for deer, and seeing the
calf browsing at the edge of a wood
lot on Benwood's farm, lost no time
in getting in range of what they sup
posed was a young buck. Both men
fred and killed the quarry. Benwood
witnessed the shooting and. accom-
panied by q farm hand, started to head
of the hunters, who had discovered
their mistake and were making for
the road leading to Montclair. The
farmers gave chase and the hunters,
seeing they were followed, took to the
woods, but after a six-mile fight we're
overtaken near the new state normal
school at Montclair heights. They
were inclined to Taught at the affair at
first and offered 1--WE dollars to Ben
wood. MAKE it $50 or you both go to
JAIL" he said. The hunters made up
the money between them and were al
lowed to depart.

The Essence Of Life.

Life is not only for work. It is for
ones self and for ones friends. The
degree of joy that q man finds in his
work is due to two things: The in
tensity and fulness of his vitality, and
the congenial character Of the work
itself. When one is thoroughly we'll
and vigorous, the lei Joy Of living,
of merely being alive, is very great.
At such a time the nature Of the work
does not matter to a large extent. The
sense of having power at your COM
mand, and the delight Of exerting it
ever in coal %shoveling or selling goods
is enough. When one is full of life,
the mere feeling of fresh water or air
on the skin, the taste Of the plainest
food, the exertion of muscular effort,
the keenness of ones vision, the sight
of color in the sky, or the sound Of
the wind or the waves-it takes moth
ing beyond these to make one jubi-
liant, enthusiastic.

NOT ALWAYS IN A MAJORITY
enperfiuous Women "consplcuous by
Thslr Absence" In Many Cities
Of England.

According to the estimates of the
censu statisticians the s%urperfuous
women for whom the delegates to the
national conference Of women work
ers at Southsea tried to plan a happy
future numbered 1,244,55S at the mid
die Of the present year.
Tho problem Of the superfuous wo-
man by no means troubles every
town. In Davenport, for instance,
there are Ss1 women for every 1000
men, in Barrowin-Furness 1928, and
in Rhondda only 1926, while the fem
mime element is in a minority in 9TH

city of London, Southwark, Woolwich,
Poplar. Stepney, West Bromwich, St.
Helen's, etc.
The superhuous woman makes her
home in pleasanter places-in health
resorts on the south coast, in Bath,
the city of fashion, and in the royal
borough Of Kensington, where there
are 1857 women to every 1000 men.
In Bournemouth the disparity between
the sexes is even greater, the wo-
men numbering 1,709 to each 1000
men.-London Daily Mail.

Among the many excuses for drink

Spain. When visiting Plasencia he
met a convivial e~cclesiastic who ex.
pressed his establishment that a scion

Europe for their drinking prowess
should prove 80 moderate in his po-

had no desire to reach the six bottle

him for his departure from sane ira

OLD WEDGWooD CREAM WARE
Three Glasses Of Work Of Inventor
That Collectors Should Keep
In Mind.

Josiah Wedgwood was eclipsed by
his own greatness. His world-renown-
ed j~asperware is his greatest triumph
and has ov~ershadowed all his other
work. His Egyptian black ware, or
basalt, in itself would have won re-
nown for any other English potter.
His marbled wares r distinctive
enough to have placed him high on the
list Of ceramic inventors.
So 1t has come to pass that his
earthenware, the very English cream
ware, or Queens ware, as he termed
it after 1765, whene Queen Charlotte
gave him her patronage and command
ed him to call himself Potter to her
Majesty" has suffered by being re-
garded as the poorer relation of his
other work.
1t cannot be too strongly urged upon
collectors to pay particular attention
to three classes of cream ware. First,
the ~undecorated or plain, represent
ing the most perfect symmetry and
rivaling the work of the silversmith.
There are delightful teapots of bold
design and exquisite dishes of pierced
work without equal in English earth
enware. Secondly, the transfer print
ed ware of the early days, when the
cream ware was sent to Liverpool to
Sadler and Green. Lastly, the paint
ed or enameled cream ware, of which
the Catherine II. service stands as the
greatest triumph.-Lady's Pictorial.

response in q manner to gladden. the

Then came the fall which invariably
follows pride.
Turning to a bullet-headed, freckle-
faced little boy, whose ears seemed
about to carry of his head like an
aeroplane, she asked him to repeat a
verse from the Scripture, but her only
answer was a vacant stare.
Come, come" said the teacher, do
you mean to tell me that you can't
repeat even one verse;"
"Naw," replied the small boy, II
know one"
well, then, let me have it," said
the teacher, sharply.
"And Judas went out and hanged
himself" repeated the young unregen-
crate. His teachers lips wreathed
themselves in a cynical smile as she
said: Very good, and can you give
me another?" The boy nodded vigor-
ously.
Sure" he replied.

his teacher in her softest, purring
tones.

MIRACLE NOT TO BE DENIED
Rabbi Enjoyed Laugh on skeptlc Who

A story is told Of Rabbi Widrewitz.
who is well known on the East side.
A recently arrived skeptic and cynio

man up q tree" He called on the
rabbi at his residence on Henry

consoled.
II suffer-" said the skeptic, from
swo maladies. I have q great weak

hurts my soul terribly. And I have

Mr. Widrewitz studied the man a
moment. seemed to be perplexed, and
said: Come again tomorrow. 1t is
q difficult case. I shall have to re-
dect upon It. II God wills, I shall be
able to help you"
When the patient returned next day
the rabbi brought forth q pill he had
prepared, told the doubly afflicted
man to open his mouth and showed 1t
in. The pill was Of considerable size.
Scarcely had the patient allowed It to
dissolve somewhat in his mouth than
he began to spit, with an expression
Of the greatest disgust and exclaimed:

AMERICAN WASTE OF MONEY
French Visitor Says Our People DO
Not Consider Value Of Small
Sums.

Zone Of the things that strike a
foreigner visiting New York." said an
'o~bservant Frenchman the other day,
lis the fact that SO many Americans
have no. idea Of the value of money.
They do not know how to economic
in little things or If they do they do
not care to.
Saving five dollars may appeal to
to them, but saving five cents-no.
In France we believe that saving the
five cents makes it possible for us to
save five dollars"
"Here is a case in point: The other
day I saw a woman, evidently Of the
poorer class, and a child climb up the
stairway of the Sixth avenue elevated
station at Twenty-eighth street. She
got of the train at Twenty-third street.
She paid ten cents for the ride, and
she probably paid the anne sum 60
ing back. In Paris anybody would
have walked the distance.
II was amazed upon going out OF
my hotel the other day to see a big,
husky cab driver having his boots pol.
ished. He probably paid ten cents
for the job. In Europe a cab driver
would have had his own brushes and
i blacking.
ut is this saving habit that makes
France a rich country and gives our
people the wherewithal to buy Ameri.
can securities. It Is the absence of
the knowledge of how to save in small
things, or the putting Of it into prac'
tice, that keeps so many Of your PEG
pleple from being thrifty and makes
the distance so great between your
millionaires and your ordinary labor.

Navel Oranges $50 Years Aoo.

@
The first we know of the navel or
ange, which is very valuable not only
on account of its fine quality and
taste, but also because of its being
seedless, is Of a single tree that was
found growing on the northern shore
OF the Mediterranean sea. This was
about the year 1865, or nearly $50
years ago..
A monk in a monastery in that far
away country painted a picture of the
fruit and wrote a description of it.
