SIXTY DOLLAR An ACRE LAND.

The news columns of the Times on
Saturday recorded 4 land sale in
Grand Forks county that we believe
is the top notch of selling price. but
Is merely tho forerunncr of land vail
ucs in this part of the state in the
Immediate future and of ALL the state
at no distant day. a quarter section
three miles from the town of Marvel
was sold for $4,000. or al vcn $50
per acre. The land is unimproved SO
far as buildings are concerned, So
tina it's actual value lay in the land
itself.
The purchaser is an old time farm
or of that section owning and operat-
ing lands in the immediate neighbour
hood of his purchase for several years.
He is a man capable of Judging the
actual worth of land for its produce
tive power. Under these conditions,
the price can he taken as the deliber-
ate Judgment of a we'll informed and
competent man as to the actual worth
OF the land for farming purposes.
The Times believes that land values
will 20 beyond this within a few
years. Diversification, or as the more
catchy term is. better farming. is
solving the question of and values.
The constant discussion of fax wilt
md wheat sickness gave the outside
world the impression that North Da-
kota soil had entered into a condi-
ton Of permanent decay. These
things may have aroused the farmers
to the needs of different methods, but
they did a certain amount of injury
abroad. The land was o exhausted
or sick; it only needed a change of
diet. Men who knew the incxhausti-
bile fertility of the soil were not scar
cd. They studied 10 find tho changes
demanded. They have found them.
and having lone so. are able to see
the greater possibilities of the land
under the new dispcnsation.
Sixty dollars an acre land as an
Investment means that it must pro-
duce a net income on that amount.
There are hundreds of instances not
only in the Red river valley. hut
throughout the state. in which the
income from land for two years has
paid the purchase price. These were
n combination of accident and good

credited to good Judgment. Proper

in the higher prices of land because
they know what these lands can be

there are children. He had no chance
at the home he just left to ~sterlize
his hands after having fused about
the d%iphtheria patients mouth. Per-
haps he didn't even wash his hands
in ordinary water.
Is it any wonder that this and SIM
liar diseases should spread about a
congested neighborhood? How is It
possible to suppress disease in the
face of modern conditions of civilized
life.
But the busy physician is not the
only channel Of communicating the
germs of sickness. The members of
the child's family may carry the in
lection to the places where they work.
A sister may nurse the diphtheria
child when at home and get the infec-
tion on her clothing or hands and car

place of business. Perhaps she helps
a woman customer to fit on a pair Of
gloves. a muff or a hat, or some 9TH

diphtheria patient.
The sources Of transmission of dis
ease germs similar to this are very
numerous. especially in a large city.
1t is the social conditions, then, that
prevent the medical profession from
lessenfng the ravages Of disease. Med
ical men know this, but are next to
powerless to do anything to improve
the situation. The public does not
seem to appreciate the dangerous
conditions. II it did perhaps some.
thing would be done to improve the
conditions.
When an attack Of diphtheria oc-

and every possible facility for good
treatment. The physician takes all
possible precautions against carrying
away infection. He is well paid and
can afford the time. That child's sick
ness does not spread.
Typhoid fever is known to be diff.

Notwithstanding all hat has been
accomplished in the way of medical
research. new discoveries and the
army Of surgeons and physicians who
are faithfully devoting their energies
to combating illness. there is doubt
as to whether the sum total of dis
eases in the civilized world is any less
thar it was before the medical pro-
fession reached its present high
standing.
Little Roadway has been made in
suppressing disease by preventive
medicine. In the opinion of some
medical men diseases are on the in

THE COMFORT OF OPTIMISM.

Pcssimists are o to say that the
only difference between themselves
n optinists is that each starts out
with a different viewpoint. What the
pessinlists mean is that the optimists
begin with a bright outlook on life.
but hat sooner or later they must
come around to the pessimists' way of
thinking. This very definition of the
difference betwcen tho joys and
glooms of life shows n pessimistic
turn of mind. 1t was an optimist who
gave a much better definition when he
said that an optimist is one who when
handed n lemon makes lemonade out
of it.
II may he true that many optimists.
after going to the nat q few times,
join the pessimists; but the fact re-
mains that wen in their short-lived
possession Of a bright view on life
they enjoyed considerable happiness.
And there are many of them who per.
sist in their optimism until the very
end. OF. these. undoubtedly. IL John
Jordan. Of Buffalo. who. while a guest
at his brother-in-law's bungalow at
Palm Beach. Fla. was attacked while
bathing by A 5-foot turtle. Accord
ing to the authentic report from Flor
ida, Jordan went in bathing alone,
was swimming two hundred feet from
shore when attacked by the turtle,
and then:
ITO rave himself Mr.. Jordan jump
ed on it's back. The turtle swan for
deep water and dove. u%nseating it's
rider. Coming to the surface, it again
struck at him viciously. Unable to
swim away. Jordan again climbed to
the turtles back, and using his feet
as a rudder and holding to the flip
pers. he steered 1t to shore. and jump
ing to safety himself. he soon had the
turtle tied with a clothesline."
There. We say. is n of the finest
examples of optimism on record. The
pessirnist would have become .irritat-
ed at the first. attack Of the turtle.
and would have reasoned thus: Here
am ] in deep water. A turtle attacks
me. Isn't that just my luck? l might
have expected to be attacked by a g.
foot turtle. Go. away. you brute. 7
have had nothing but hard luck all
my life. Oh. Msllr1k might just as well:
