Signals Came High.

A California reader sends US the
following good story at the expense
of w. H. Wallace and his pastor
under date of March Sd:
DR.. H. |. Rasmus, pastor of the
First Methodist church Of Long
Beach, and w. H. Wallace, cashier
in local bank, each subscribed SIS
yesterday, unwittingly, to the fund
being raised at the dedication Of the
First Methodist church of Watts.
The Long Beach minister preached
the dedicatory sermon and after the
discourse the Watts brethren pro-
ceeded to take subscriptions to pay
off the church debt. While this was
going on DR.. Rasmus saw Wallace
sitting near the back of the church
and the minister raised his hand to
signal to Wallace to wait for the

Nature Points the Way.

A hen is not supposed to have much
common sense or tact, yet every
time she lays an egg she cackles
forth the fact.
A rooster hasn't got lot of intel
lect to show, but none the less
most roosters have enough good
sense to crow.
The mule. the most despised of
beasts, has persistent way of
letting people know he's around
by his insistent bray.
The busy little bees they buzz, bulls
below and cows moo, and watch
dogs bark, and ganders quack and
doves and pigeons COO.
The peacock spreads his tail and
squawks; pigs squeal and robins
sing, and even serpents know
enough to hiss before they sting.
But Man, the greatest masterpiece
that Nature could devise, will
often stop and hesitate before he'll
ADVERTISE.

Correspondence Gazette.
Ed. GAZETTE: The time has come
for the annual hegira to new fields
and the efforts of those who are foot
loose or who may be making their
first start in life to visit the newer
sections of the country, that are
more sparsely settled and where the
opportunities for effort give better
promise. Of the localities that first
come to mind, the Dakotas, Montana
and Washington present great at
fractions, as they offer free land, or
land at prices within the reach of
men of moderate means. The ques-
ton of many is. where to go. To
those so situated that they can live
fourteen months on a homestead,
the opening of the Fort Berthold
Indian Reservation, in central North
Dakota, which will take place next
summer or early in the fall, offers a
chance to get farm at low price
and on easy terms.
The reservation at its nearest point
is about forty-five miles from Minot,
N. D., and comprises about 100000
acres. of which 10000 are to be Of
fered for sale. | have kept some

I believe this the best thing offered
by the government in many years.
| have spent part of each SUNNI er
at Ryder, just east of the reserva-
ton line, for the past seven years,
and been along its border for some
distance and have seen the land and
know that it is very good.
My purpose in this letter is to call
attention to a good thing and give
those who want to look up new To-

Fort Berthold proposition. A little

One of theEmost equitable forms
Of taxation of modern times, to our
mind, isjsthe inheritance tax on
wealthy estates. The report of the
State auditor shows that this tax
brought to the state the first year
1909 s215. O93.38. and last year
$508.854.78, or three-quarters of a
million the first two years. In our
opinion, much larger share of in
herited wealth from great estates
should revert to the state. I'm
earned wealth is often a burden
and curse to the overloaded heirs.
Why not use it to mitigate much
of the poverty and suffering of the
common people. as well as to tighten
the burden of taxation?

Commenting on a paragraph in
this paper about bank deposits in a
dry town. the Window Citizen,
printed in a town which has been
saloonless for years. lnotes that "as
another illustration of how no-license
kills a town, we might add that the
three banks in Window at the last
call for statement on March z, 1911,
had on deposit Isl 1864, 1869, which
was DIVIDED into time deposits of
$500, 9.42, and deposits subject to
check of $473, 1886. And we
might also add that it is next to inn
possible to rent a house, so great is
the demand for them, while many
are purchasing in order to insure
having a place in which to live.
Yes. no-license sure does kill town. :"

Minnesota occupies prominent
place in the American system Of ag-
ricultural education, according to
officials of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in a report re-
Gently issued. The North Star state
has been pioneer in advancing In
dustrial education and developing a
system extending from the rural
schools to the agricultural college.
with its highly specialized courses
for advanced students. Midway be-
tween the rural school and the col
lege is the agricultural high school,
strictly Minnesota product. 1t is
the opinion of experts in agricultur-
al education that no other state has
done so much as Minnesota to keep
the boy and girl on the farm and to
arrest the movement Of population
from the farm to the overcroWded
cities.

Poor Old Mexico's fate appears to
be absolutely hanging on the life OF
one mantle octogenarian Dlaz.
More happily for our own country,
with all it's faults, the people do rule
ultimately, though not always dl-
rectly, and the death Of any one man
cannot jeopardize the stability OF
the republic. The great trouble IN
Mexico and in practically all OF the
Latin Republics, is the illiteracy OF
the common people. The ignorant
citizen is not only poorly equipped
for the battle of life, but is by the
very fact of being ignorant, easily
led by demagogues and mob leaders.
The lesson of Mexico and many of
the South American republics en-
forces the need of better schools as
well as better homes for the COM
mon people. And this country has
fighting to do all along the line in
the peaceful warfare of conserving
its homes and guarding the quality
of its citizenship. We can at least
be thankful that our future is never
on the life of dictator,
however capable and well-meaning
he may be.
