sity man and young man-at once the
product and the critic of the college
and school system-is soon TO deal in
Golfers, with THE Social Usurpaticn
Of our colleges"
Mr.. Johnson finds the fused product
of our schools and colleges lacking in
the fine steel of democracy and weak
ened by the false metal snobbery.
These questions are his:
In this professedly democratic coun-
try what have the universities done
to teach democracy to the young men
committed to their charge?
What have they done to hinder the
growth of the n1enacing spirit of class
antaeonism and of individual snob-
bishness?
What have they done to broaden
the vision and to increase the human
ty of young American
Have they ever given their gradu-
ates a sound and simple education?
THE social spirit has usurped con-
troll of the colleges" ne charges. as if
is usurping the control Of our fitting
schools Readers of Golfers will find,
when they begin to read MIR. Johnson 5
series that he is not merely satirizing
college follies or listing the petty
faults of campus life. Instead. he has
gone into the heart of a big idea Men

does not teach him democracy. And,
says MIR. johnson pointedy, The col

the universities, instead of maintaining
their ancient authority, have yielded to
the aristorcratic tendencies from with
out. and that to-day they are fostering
false standards of social selection, per-
hitting group isolation, and obscurins
the broad vision of democratic ssmpa-

OH this very topic. Undoubtedly the
editor, as well as Mr.. owen Johnson. is
"colossally ignorant and scoiossally
audaeious'' in presumlng to criticize the
personal affairs of any one who has had
three years in a fraternity and
whose educational progress has not
been interrupted but they are not

Correspondence from oldtown and

relating to spring lumber operations:
According to the most careful esti-
mates which have been made of the
cut on the Kennebec and Penobscot
rivers during the past winter it is more
than a third less than usual. No salts
factory explanation ofSthis condition
has been offered. Spruce logs were
high last year and there was no COM
plant of an oyerstock, yet the big pulp
and paper concerns which are the big
consumers of stock today deliberately
reduced the cut from which they are to
get the next years 09l3) stock. Wheth-
er it will have a tendency to boost the
price can only be conjectured. AS they
own the bulk of the lands upon which
the logs are cut, it will not seriously
affect them-at least such is the judg-
ment OF experts, but viii have an eff

Sofia, Dec. PA Bulgarian
woman's love led her to betray her
country and brought upon her
swift retribution is told. "A wom-
an of high social standing, wife
of a Bulgarian staff officer, was
found guilty of betraying the
Bulgarian mobilization plans to
the Turks and was shot.
A few years ago, when she was
still a young girl, she fell in love
with a dashing young Officer at
tached to the Turkish legation.
Her parents, however, would not
hear of their marriage, and when
the young officer was called to
Constantinople the girl reluctant
ly married a Bulgarian officer.
Some time later the Turkish Of
flcer returned, charged with a
special mission, and the friend
ship between the two was renew
ed. Finally, it is asserted, the
Turk asked her to run away with
him. Il have been ordered by my
superiors," he said, ito obtain the
Bulgarian mobilization plans. II
I do not succeed I will be- relega-
ted to some distant command in
Asia Minor, and we shall have no
chance of seeing one another"
The woman pointed out that
they were both too poor to think
of clipping. and told him to be
patient. A few days later she
handed him a bundle of docu-
ments containing the Bulgarian
army war plans. She had taken
them from her husbands desk
and told the Turkish officer to
photograph them and to give the
originals back to her.
When the war broke out the
Turkish officer was captured ia
one Of the first engagements and
the papers were found on him.
revealing the whole affair. He
was tried by court-martial and
shot.
The young Bulgarian woman,
though the wife of an officer, was
not spared, and, having been
found guilty by a special court,
was also shot. Her husband, de-
termined to wipe out the disgrace
on his name, was one Of the first
in the storming line at Kirk-Kil-
issh, and fell riddled with Turkish
bullets.

BIRDS AND WEED SEEDS

Birds are occasionally accus-
ed Of scattering weed seeds by
carrying them in mud on their
feet or dropping them with the
exrement. This is so small an
item compared with the enormous
number Of weed seeds DESTROYED
as to be negligible. Anyone who
will take the trouble to go out
through the weed patches during
September, October and Noyem-
Der while the Juncos, White
throated, Harris and Tree SPAR
rows are migrating can see abund
ant evidence Of the hosts of help
ers in the constant struggle of
the farmer to keep down the
weeds. Continuing this obserya-
ton through the winter, spring
and summer will be a revelation
to any alert, thoughtful observer.
According to the careful investi-
cations and estimate of F. E. L.
Beal Of the U. s. Biological survey
the Tree sparrow alone DESTROYS
875 tons Of weed seeds annually
in the single state Of Iowa. A

It's value has been more than ever

FROM tho UOWO"
Mrs. Ezra Stiles, whose hus-
band was the founder Of the town
of Stiles, between here and Lid
gerwood, died at Tacoma Wash,
recently, aged II years. They
came to Dakota in the early sos
and for many years farmed what
is still known as the Stiles farm.
Later the family moved to Lidger-
wood, but for the past seven or
eight years have resided in Wash
ington state.
Harry Auty is, just naturally
something of a naturalist, and
takes interest in tree culture, wild
animals, birds and the like. Just
now his particular pets are three
pair Of wild ducks and a wild
brant. The ducks have become
domesticated and seem to thrive,
although out of their native ele-
ment at this season Of the year.
But Mr.. Auty complains that the
brant shows too many human
traits to keep piece in his feath-
cred family, being larger than the
ducks and consequently inclined
to bulldoze the smaller fowl. AS
a close student of human nature
Harry AYERS that the difference
between geese and some men is
not so great as many people i'm
agine.
One morning last week a flock
Of prairie chickens flew over the
500 track near the round house
and six of the birds were disabled
by striking the telegraph wires.
A 500 engineer, who was just
backing his engine out on the
track, saw the unfortunate acct
dent and hurried to the assistance
Of the wounded birds. His mo-
tive was humane beyond a doubt,
but strange as it may appear, all
of the birds expired shortly af-
ter he reached the scene of their
downfall. He parted with possess
sion Of the birds in due time,
thereby escaping even a technical
violation Of the game laws of the
state Of North Dakota. in such
case made and provided.
