FARMERS PICNIC
Experiment Stations Annual Summc
Function is Arranged.

H. .AEIdIlSCus
Dickinson, n. D., July 13.-Ar-
engagements are being completed for
the second annual farmers picnic to
be held at the Dickinson Experiment
station, Saturday. July %, 1912. In
1911 the picnic vas held July 90 and
was the first of it's kind. The success
of this first picnic was so marked that
there have been many requests to
have it an annual event. If success
was possible under the poor conditions
OF 1911 then it ought to be much bet
ter during the season of 1912.
While there may not be more les
sons to learn from the station this
year tina last. visitors tell us that the
station presents a very beautiful APP
%pearance. The trees are much larger
than ever before and cast denser and
more refreshing shade. Besides what
little may be learned from the station
the social features of the picnic will
be of great value.
Promises ave been made by Prof.
Shaw and Prof. w. c. Palmer to at
tend this picnic. AS far as possible,
guides will be furnished to point out
the interesting features of the station.

We Must Forget


 You have not forgotten how the great liner on April IS crashed into the iceberg that fared forth from the frozen north and of how 1t slid, Ike. a great coffin Nor of how tho captain of millions ant the peasant stood together at the raj | as the cruel sea carried off their love, and hopes.
 But already 1t is a dim memory.
 Just as that vast iceberg in the middle Of the north Atlantic. towering up 800 feet like great monument to the dead below had drifted into warmer waters and melted, so after the first shock of the shuddering plunge of the Titanic was over-so swift does one woe tread upon another's heels--are we beginning to for get.
 Violent emotion. great sympathy quick forgetfulness-these are the features of our modern life
 Some there are who never will forget.
 The memory of the ships tragedy has burned into their consciousness a. scar that will not disappear but in the gem eral consciousness the thought Is as un- mindful as the waves above the dead.
 We are like children.
 7seroelv have the tears dried from our eyes man the smiles appear. As when e,nsod e 't'ay taaather menl down and the waves waters, so de we forget 'iiioo'n
 Lest we forget
 Go to the steamship ticket offices .,,,, you not find the same surging crowdst And even today over the treacherous wa ters tourists lounge on the decks and the owners of dancing feet find pleasures
 It Is only the surface of our recollec- tions that gets printed by the days events, and tomorrow's new impression wipes it out
 Some things ought not to be forgotten the criminal carelessness of the ships owners, the gambling with death, the taking of chances to save money, the speed mania. All these should be remem- bered. and there should be exemplary punishment, but
 Humanity must forget!
 We cannot always go mourning with regret Mercifuly are our memories made like childrens slates. from which may be wiped the horror of cataclysm and cruel visitation. And so the peasant builds his cottage on ths verge while the crater's lip is warm. And so the smooth sea smiles. and
