in the added statement that death was
due indirectly to overeating. :: :@-#
When a person, jspeaks Of temper
ance. the thought that fits into the
mind Of his auditor is that abstinence
from the use of liquor Is referred to.
Such Is the general conception Of the
term throughout the entire nation. But
temperance is not confined to strong
drink. It applies to smoking. eating
reading. playing games, or any. other
of mans activities. Intemperance
simply means "too much" A person
who devotes too much time to recrea.
tive sports, neglecting his own work
is just as guilty of intemperance as
he who drinks too freely of intoxicants.
Likewise a man who smokes more
! than is good for him, OR eats too heart
lily, is Incorporate in his habits. The
assertion that q prominent temperance
worker has died from overeating Seems
nothing if not paradoxical.

the trip to the Hills gave a romantic
touch to all news items and to all
who took this long road. They must
always go armed for Indians and hold
ups and they had to be on constant
guard against the ambush and yet
many Of the Bull Whackers and
stage drivers became careless to the
dangers Of the trail.
There are great many men living
who have taken an active part in the
life along the trail and there has
been the past few years an increased
demand for material ON this great
highway into the Hills. The Tribune
is clipping news items on this sub
ject and Curator Fish Of the Histori-
cal Society 10 gathering AZ much data
as possible. Every person who has
had any experience along this old
historical trail should send in some
items either to the Tribune or the
State Historical Society.

HIS BEST FRIEND.

They were standing on the corner
awaiting the arrival of the capitol car
an elderly gentleman and two young
men. The latter were talking and
laughing boisterously, in the irrepres.
sible manner of youth, when one of
them slapped his thigh and exclaimed:
by G.! That's the first I knew,
about it."
The elderly gentleman tapped the
young man on the shoulder.
Young fellow, I just heard you
mention the name of one of my
friends"
The youth glanced up with sur.
prise.
"Why, who was that" he queried.
"God," was the reply. Hes the
lest friend I've got. and I don't like
To- hear people speak lightly Of him. -
The young mans face Redeemed,
then he impulsively extended his hand
"That was the best anti.swearine
lesson J. ever had" he said.

!. But in North Dakota, where the
farmers cannot always feel sure of the
corn maturing, 1t would seem doubly
important to be ready with silo, and
when the corn Is in the milk stage
put it into the silo, and then they are
sure to have their crop In the very
best condition, whether the weather
is suitable for the crop to mature, or
not; in other words, their crop IL
worth more not matured than 1t Is
matured, and it therefore eliminates
the weather risk, very largely. Every
dollar invested in q silo is worth two
or three dollars to the farm. ~
We think that If ia silos in the
whole state Of North Dakota is the
correct number, it shows that tho
farmers have not walked up in very
large numbers to the greatly added
cash profits there Is In their farms
where silo Is used. have no silos
to sell, but have a big one on my
farm, which we fill to the top, and the
cows give more milk than without it,
and the cows that come fresh give q
noticeably increased amount Of milk

as during those preceding weeks it
puts them in just the right condition
to have nice large calf, and to fol.

flow of milk.

Editor Tribune:
Dear sir-For the past two or three
years I have. occasionally seen 1t stated
in tae public prints that the farmers
Of North Dakota were fast taking up
the idea Of silos, and that many were
being built. in line with the develop
ing idea of diversified and profitable
farming. o. r %s3 #-
was therefore not little surprised
to see, the other day, that there were,
according to q late official report, ia
silos in the state. H.
In Pennsylvania there is as many
as ia in the average township, and
many more than that in some town
ships, and the number Is fast being
added to as the farmers become con.
WINGED that. there. is nothing so profit.
able in connection with farming as the
s!lo, for mich cows, for young stock
and even for horses. "..
One of our most prominent and most
successful farmers had always talked
against the silo. said ne could get as
much good out Of his corn fodder In
the old fashioned way of running 1t
through q cutter as wanted and save
, the expense of building a silo, and the
trouble of filling It '.1F :
And because of his prominence and
, MS success as farmer, many an.
other farmer followed in his way and
concluded the silo was not worth its
cost. And :whue1at the same time 9th
er successful farmers in ever-incrsas.
ing numbers were building silos I'D this
vicinity, they all thought that Farmer
r. was 80 confirmed in his belief that
he would never have a silo. AsGss
Great was their surprise therefore
when q year or two ago, he hauled
home some lumber for q silo, and now
he is among the most enthusiastic
on the silo question. -

THE BISMARCK HIGH SCHOOL.

THE BISMARCK HIGH SCHOOL. :,
One OF the valley papers published
a purported interview wherein 1t was
stated that the Bismarck high school
was not an accredited institution, and
the inference was that the education
of the boys and girls of the state cap
ital was being sadly neglected. It is
true that the Bismarck high school is
not classified as first grade. This Is
due to the mandate Of the high school
board that manual training and do
nestle science courses must be given
in first grade schools. The Bismarck
high school building 10 far too small
to accommodate the number of stu
dents enrolled at the present time
The new high school building. which
will be occupied by another year, is
roomy enough to permit the teaching
Of these subjects, which lack of space
in the old structure prevents. Hence
Bismarck's absence from the list Of
accredited schools.
That manual training and domestic
science have no place on the present
curriculum does not signify that the
other branches of knowledge are be.
ing slighted by the instructors. Such
an inference is unfair, both to the
teachers and to the pupils. Not only
Is it unfair, but 1t Is untrue. Bis.
marck people are aware of the present
crowded conditions. and the resulting
! predicament. But they are proud OF
: the achievements of their boys and
girls. To determine the value Of edu
cation one must consider the success
that ttends the graduates. Residents
.. Of the state capital can look to many
successful alumni of the Bismarck high
school and take pride In knowing
that they secured their early training
in this city. The Bismarck higi
school is all right. : :

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE.

Pastors of the national capital. or
some of them at least, have come out
frankly and fearlessly in advocacy OF
utilizing the advertising columns OF
the daily press. There are few con-
servative ministers who do not agree
that this is altogether right, but the
churches that advertise are the
churches that are progressing and
prospecting. Said one of the divines:
without the newspapers to print
church advertisements the number Of
worshippers would be greatly depresi.
ated."
(, The ministers would, il they could,

him to come to church, but this Is OBJ
viously impossible. The personal invi.
tation, printed in the columns Of the
daily paper, will reach the indivld.

offer to . restless world, have learned
