%cipitation the state enjoys. were the
winters otherwise than long and Sc
we're. this country would be a desert.
Fortunately. the moisture is locked up
in the soil about five months during
the winter and held where 1t can not
escape until 1t is needed in the spring.
This makes the task of moisture con-
servation a very simple matter in
North Dakota az compared with Okla
sas. The state Is also signally blessed
in not having more precipitation than
is actually necessary to produce an
abundant crop every year, provided
none of it is allowed to needlessly es-
cape by evaporation or be d~issipated
by weeds. Otherwise, the soil would
be comparatively poor as 1t Is in all
countries having an excessive amount
Of rain. In other words, the state Is
signally blessed by having long VIM
ters and limited rainfall. BY practice

crops on account of drought will be-

on account of drought should be
branded as a poor farmer.
We should be proud of our state.
We should all work together for the
development Of its natural resources.
There is wealth enough in the soil for
us all-once 1t is brought forth into
consumable form. To accomplish this
end, the revenues Of the state must
not be doled out in homeopathic dos
.es In order 10 support the agencies
that bear directly upon this phase Of
educational and practical work.
The agricultural college should be
given ample means to do its best work.
Thousands of boys should be in. at
tendance every year where only hum
dreds are now in attendance. Agri-
cultural education and the facilities
for its promotion should be in proper
ton to the agricultural population and
the agricultural interests of the
state. This Is not Il sectional matter:
1t is a matter of state importance and
challenges the craftsmanship of the
commonwealth as no other question
does. The education of the state should
be charged with agriculture as the air
is with oxygen.

THE STATES CLUB WOMEN.

Seldom has Grand Forks had the
opportunity Of entertaining such an
interesting gathering Of visitors as the
strangers who now share the city's
hospitality as delegates to the state
federation Of women's clubs. The large
number of delegates present, the d.
versified activities covered, and the
serious purpose Of the various pro-
ance of the gathering. The dele
gates come from every part Of the
state and are the leaders in the lines
of endeavor which the clubs compre-
bend. They are representative Of the
thought and enterprise Of the women
of the state. The gathering could
not be surpassed for its high degree
of intelligence, its adherence to high
ideals and its aggressiveness in car
rying forward the advanced thought
of this century.
To trace the history of the wom-
ems clubs or to outline the purposes
they have served and the good they
have done would be to write the his

erwise, to love a cat and die an old
maid. Men changed that belief
into the present of the equality
of the sexes. Women did it them
selves. They did 1t by striking out
boldly along what had always been
considered unconventional lines.
When 1t was found that women could
do those things that had formerly
been considered unconventional,
without losing any Of the womanly
graces and charms. the victory was
more than half won. The pathway
from there to the present command
ing position Of the sex in the field Of
human endeavor has been bordered
with lilies and carpeted with roses.
The gathering now in this city is
the elimination Of woman's advance.
Today she stands the proud leader
in nearly everything that concerns

Talks With Men of

At Washington. D.. q.

"It would not be thical for me to
express an opinion on the dispute be-
tween the United States government
and Great Britain over the action of
your senate granting coastwise ves-
sells free passage through the Panama
canal.'' said Alexandra Alvarez, coun-
selor of the secretary of state of Chile,
and member of the permanent board
of arbitration to The Hague.
THE Panama canal Is. of course,
a matter Of vital interest to Chile, and
Chileans are looking forward to the
opening of that great waterway. There
bring a very large increase in the
commerce between the United States
and my country. as it will increase
the trad relations between all South
American countries that nave sea-
ports on the Pacific and the United
States. Whatever shipments are made
to Chile from this country now have
to sail around the Horn. The open

Mr.. Alvarez is here to promote the
proposed American Institute of In

In this country said Mr.. Alvarez.
THE movement has met with instant
response from lawyers Of prominence
in every part Of this country, and 1t
is practically assured that the insti-
tute will be a success. The objects
of the institute are to encourage the
discussion of all international prob
lens relating to the law. excepting. Of
course. questions that involve poll.
tics.
"Chile has the most cordial feelings
for America" added Mr.. Alvarez.
"Our people are doing a big business
with your country. but 1t could. be In
creased with profit to both countries.
When the canal is completed. Of
course. we shall have more intimate
