This is only one of many samples of
the information which is daily being

ARMY ENLIsTMENTs.

Efforts to improve conditions in the
United States army are proceeding
steadily-in the wrong direction.
The action of the house at Wash
ington in deciding in favor of ive-year
enlistments was a severe blow at the
good of the service.
There is not a single valid argument
in favor OF five-year enlistments. On
the contrary, many excellent reasons
might be put forth in favor of two
year enlistments-or even of enlist
ments Of one veal 1t may be asserted
pretty safely that every officer in the
army--barring a few with slave
driving instincts-wouId strongly tes-
tify to the advantages of shorter, rath-
er than longer, enlistments.
1t is not quite desirable that large
numbers Of men should join the army
with the intention of making it a per-
manent career. 1t is, on the other
hand, highly desirable that as many
n.en as possible should understand the
theory n practice of military sery-
lice-and that they should derive the
excellent training obtainabIe in the
army.
But the majority of young men prop
erly look to something higher h the
berth of an enlisted man to the end
of their days. Three years-or prefer
ably. two years-is not too long a per-
iod in any mans life to devote to a
special, highly advantageous kind q
schooling. But five years is so lone
a time that the mar who expects eve,

THE ANNUAL SEED JOKE.

When the seed question came up in
congress the other day, Representative
Jackson Of Kansas made such a SEN
sible suggestion that it was immedi-
ately rejected. Nothing sensible is al
lowed TO interfere with this ridiculous
disposition Of seeds. Otherwise it
would have been stopped long ago.
At present, those who want seeds
CT those whose congressman think
they want them-get a miscellaneous
selection of the seeds OF peoples and
sugar beets, cabbage and crimson
ramblers, sunfiowers and alfalfa. They
are supposed to observe the growth of
the particular seeds they get in their
climate and soil, and advise the agri-
cultural department for it's instruction
and aid.
But most of these seeds are never
planted and few of those that DO
ever grow. So the department of agri-
culture has to worry along without the
observations of a resident of the gas
touse district in New York on the best
way to grow peonies-or the results of
planting fringed geraniums in the Chi
cago stockyards.
Representative Jackson proposed to
abolish the wasteful nuisance as far rs
congress is concerned, to turn over a
sum of money to the agricultural de-
l'artment-and let the department sup
ply seeds, in the quantity and kind
desired, to those who asked for them.
Then only those who want them would
ask for them, and only the seeds
wanted would be sent.
That would stop seed houses from
unloading on the government all their
old stale stock-would stop cluttering
up the mails with the useless bundles
now 6istributed-and would make il
possible for the annual distribution of
seeds to have some value to those who
get them.
That would be the result. But as
long as the present method obtains,
any readers who, want seeds and have
been overlooked a get some by writ
in their congressman. What they will
get no one can tell.

FARao's PARK SYSTEM.

Fargo is making Roadway on its
ments in which many citizens are in
tensely interested. 1t Is potential in
fits possibilities and means not only a
great deal for the present residents of
Fargo-but far more for the next gen.
Grafton.
1t is sometimes asked who is to pay
Tor the city parks, The people of The
bigger and better Fargo--the future
great city, Of course. They will de-
rive the greatest benefits. AS a result
Of the foresighted action Of today
future generations will have a rich
heritage. The people of today are
doing their share-when they secure
the sites-pay the interest on the
bonds-improve the property-and
they receive their reward in their an
nual enjoyment OF these parks ana
Fairgrounds.
This is fair-but there is another
point to be considered. AS the people
of the future are to foot the bill-the
plans of today should be for the fu-
ture. Their needs should be first con
sidered.
BY the expiration Of the time limit
on the park bonds-Fargo should be a
city Of $4,000 population. Can any
measure the countless benefits a
splendid park system will be to the
people of such a city? Can any one
put a cash valuation on the pleasure
and happiness that will be given the
next g~eReration-if the present does
its duty in this respect? .
Sites will never be cheaper than at
present. Amy location selected should
it later be found unsatisfactory. can
be sold for more than it will cost to-
DAY. The commission must act con-
servatively, of course, but it must car
ry out a broad plan.
1t may be a difficult task now to Sc
leet sites IN all parts Of the city. The
only reward of the effort on the part
of the commission may be criticism,
There may be more blame than thanks
but it is a grand task-a mans task
something really worth while.

On ologies and isms she's a shark:
There's nothing in the world she
doesn't know;
She makes the population pause and
bark
AS words Of wisdom from her lips
do flow.
Dead language h rips off by the
score;
She knows the fourth dimension
thing by heart.
She's ready quit to strike out from the
shore
And sail life's troubled sea without
a chart.
Political conditions vex her not;
She knows how to cure all her coun-
try's ills;
Shed fix the labor problems on the
spot,
And set the wheels all turning in
the mills.
She's letter perfect and she leads her
class
In every modern theory to date.
No thinker of the era can surpass
The dream we cali the sweet girl
graduate.
We've heard her essay many times
before
And of her sage advice wen never
tire.
The new ones are the same as those
of yore
And all were going to set the world
on fire.
We cannot doubt her good intentions,
still,
This life is full of mighty stumbling
blocks,
And like the others, in ten years, she
will
Be satisfied to arm some good mans
socks.
