The Danger of the Inferior

We are often told that one reason why we
should not go down to the inferior things is that
they can never satisfy US. But the danger is that
they may satisfy us, A boy at school may come
to like evil talk and unworthy stories. When he
left home such things were unnatural and dis.
tasteful to him. but he let himself down to them
little by little until anything else is uncongenial to
him. The inferior things have come to satisfy

of doing everything possible to save lives in

of mine accidents. And anyway the Red Cross
has become deeply interested of late years in

so that 1t is now distributing "frst aid cabinets"

is but natural that the Red Cross should want to

general organization volunteered to help make

breath, commissioner of agriculture
of that state, who has prepared figures
that may surprise the financial world.
Out OF a condition that existed for a
time during the summer, which gave
rise to unfavorable reports as to crop
results, the idea has grown, Mr.. Gil
breath says, that this was "a bad crop
year in North Dakota, yet actual re.
turns and ruling prices give the state
a money value for it's product that
makes up the big total named. This
estimate is exclusive of live stock, and
means only the new values that the
state took out of the soil this year.
The exact figures for acreages and
Yields will not be in possession of

culture until the summer OF 1912, as

during the growing period by means
of correspondents in each county and

Mr.. Gilbreath says the department
is in as good a position to estimate the
the probable results fthe years agri
cultural operations as any bureau,
firm or Individual 1t is true that in
many parts of the state partial and
in few instances total failure of
crops occurred. 1t is also true beyond
question that full crops, and in num-
erous instances crops above the aver
age, have been harvested in many oth-
er places. The season has been irreg-
ular as regards rainfall and tempera-
ture, and it is easily understandable
that a person basing his opinion on
of areas where the rain
fall was exceptionally light, could be
misled as to the average conditions
for the whole state. North Dakota
has large territory and contains over
7O, 1000 square miles, and even in nor
NAL seasons crops might we'll be
abundant in one quarter and light in
another. AS matter of fact this
variation in 1911 existed in the same
