Trains Going West.
N. o. SITUATION,

There is nothing in the crop, f1nan-
cial or commercial situation in North
Dakota to create panic-or even alarm.
1t is true that the crops are not as
large as in average years. But there
will be many millions of bushels of
wheat raised in North Dakota-and
best Of all it will bring a good price
There is already harvested a lot OF
winter rye. Winter wheat is about
ready for the shock. The barley crop
is satisfactory and there will be a fair
yield of oats. Some sections of the
state have practically lost everything,
while in others there will be fifteen to
twenty bushel spring wheat crops.
Then there is North Dakota's famous
crop of fax. There are many thou
sands of acres Of it. So far the crop
is promising. 1t looks like at least an
average yield and with the prevailing
high prices it will be a source of profit
to the farmers.
and there is a greater acreage, than for
many years. The hay crop is short,
but forehanded farmers have planted
forage crops to help out and there will
be enough for all.
( North Dakota farmers have had
nine good crops. Some localities have
suffered shortages. but there has been
no statewide bad crops since 1900.
The farmers are in good condition
They have money in the banks. all the
equipment they need and their farms
are clear of debt. During the fiat"
years the greater part of them have
laid something by for the lean" sea-
son. They are not on the way to the
poorhouse-just because there is a par
tfal crop failure.
The banks of the state have large
deposits. All possibility Of a panic has
long ago been discounted and arrange
iments made to meet any contingency
that may arise.
Inc commercial situation Is good. |
Merchants are reinstating orders thew
mad held up with the wholesale houses
and the merry travelling men are cbas-
Ing up and down the state for business
and getting it.
North Dakota is distinctly all right |
land her citizens are pursuing the |
even tenor of their way-undisturbed |
by calamity howlers and dyspeptic
pessimists.

the country that things were going
wrong down on the isthmus. But a lit
tie careful investigation proved that
the army man who succeeded the civil
engineers in the work of constructing
the canal was able to show his hand
unfalteringly.
A good deal is said from time to time
about the relative efficiency of Amer
lean and European armies. The argu-
ment is made that the larger standing
armies Of the old world-and the un-
relenting discipline-are making for
forces with which the army of the
United States could not easily cope, in
case of war.
But war, after all, is merely a mat
ter of efficiency. The work which an
army man is doing down where the
Americas meet is such that the heart
lest confidence may be reposed in those
who constitute the fighting end of the
government.

STOP THE GROWING.

Those who are complaining of the
heat of the last few days should read
the reports of the hot wave which is
sweeping the eastern states and con-
slider what real suffering is. While
people in the large cities of the At
lantic states are dropping dead-or lie
sweltering at night unable to sleep on
account of the intense heat-the people
of this country rarely hear of a case
or heat prostration-and can always
rely upon sufficiently cool nights to
enable them to enjoy their rest without
any serious discomfort. Truly thew
have much to be grateful for, and
should appreciate their blessings-in-
stead Of finding fault with them.

KISSING AND ITS ORIGIN.

kissing in its modern promescuity
is pernicious and should be condemned
as dangerous.
The custom probably had its origin
not in affection but in suspicion In
primitive times when the sense of
smell was perhaps more acute than
that of sight bringing the faces to-
gether was a means of identification
and of friendship and kissing has be-
come a mark Of affection rather than
a test of it.
1t is not against this that the hygien-
lst-the sensible one-protests, but
against the meaningless and danger
Gus habit of pecking at the lips of
every one, especially of the defence

a stranger, cor even an ordinary friend,
to kiss baby on the lips and the act
should be resented.

THE N. o. 5ATTLEsHIP.

Great interest is aroused over the
exhibit Of the model Of the battleship,
North Dakota, at the state fair in
Fargo next week. Through the efforts
Of Congressman Hanna this model was
secured for the occasion so the inland
residents of North Dakota could get an
idea Of what the famous dreadnaught
looked like. The model is an exact
miniature of the big fighting machine
and will attract the attention of prac-
tically every visitor at the state fair.
1t will be a huge drawing card and
Congressman Hanna is entitled to great
credit for securing it.

WHY REAL ESTATE?
Policy of the Northwestern Mutual In.
Vestment Co., to Invest Only in
City Real Estate Is Sound.

Watch the processes by which the
best and greatest fortunes are being
built up and you will note that tbF
foundation is almost invariably citv
real estate. For generations the own
ership of real property has been the
surest sign of established position.
there's a solidity about the big land
or property owner that appeals to peo-
pie.
The policy of the Northwestern Mu-
tual Investment Co., of Fargo which
Is to invest their funds only in inn
proved city real estate, is based on a
sound business principle. Not onIv
that' the policy has proved sound and
practical by experience as well as pre-
eedent. All the property owned bv
