SAVING FAMILIES.

In this age of trying Industrial con-
ditions and the high cost of living the
great problem of sociologists is-how
to protect the family and hold it to-
gether.
Deserted wives and children abound
in all the great cities. Quarrels and
financial ~dificulties arise which sepa-
rate the father and mother-and often
send the children into public institu-
tons.
Even a % home is better than an
institution for a child if the family
can be held together. Sometimes a
little outside help will heal the wounds
that threaten the home and makes
reconciliation possible.
The domestic relation court is the
greatest physician for homes which
threaten to go to pieces. In New
York. Chicago and Washington it has
been demonstrated thai the deserted
wife's interest can be protected better
by such q court-than BY n other
agency.
Through the domestic relations
courts husbands who refuse to do their
duties by their families are soon
brought to Justice. A deserted wife
can tell her troubles to q clerk-who
viii Immediately bring the case to the
attention Of the court Without cost to
the complainant.
In New York the penalty for wife de-
sertion is six months IN the ~workhouse.
Consequently few husbands want to
suffsr the punishment When taken
before a court they = willing to listen
to some plan for the restoration 81
harmony ia the home.

UNFRAMED YOUNG GIRLS.

The truth Of the following from The
Chicago Record-Herald must have
impressed itself on the good people of
Fargo:
A joint committee of the Chicago
Woman's club, the Woman's City club
and the Association of College Alum
nae has reported that the large num-
bers of girls who at the age of II or
~thereabouts leave school to go to work,
without special training Of any sort,
constitute a menace to the public
inasmuch as many Of them drift into
an immoral life. Half of them. it is
said, become idle. while those who are
employed are poorly paid and have
but slight chances of advancement.
With the natural craving of the young
for amusement, gayety and fine clothes
they soon find temptations to which
many succumb.
The conclusion Of the committee is
that such girls. should be wards of the
state. There are. formidable difficult
ties in the way of carrying out this
idea. Preventive measures offer more
promise of success.
More vocational schools for special
training, proper employment agencies
more amusements or an innocent ma
ture, moral instruction and the sup
preston of vicious resorts would do
much in the way of prevention. AT
bottom the problem is largely eco
nomic.

VOLUME xxxv, NO. he.
THURSDAY. FEB. ~, 1912.
A. c. IN r RANK.

.Ht
For many years it has been claimed
that North Dakota ranked with the
big four" in the agricultural college
world. When agricultural colleges
were m~entioned-it was generally n
ceded that only Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Iowa were entitled to be ranked
with it.
1t. becoming more evident that
North Dakota is IN a class by itself.
At present it occupies a distinctive po-
Rition amyng the agricultural colleges
of the United States. To say there is
no other institution that is superior is
no violation of the truth. To assert
that the N. d. A. c.. is the best in the
II. S. would be no more than a truth
full statement.
President Worst stands today the
biggest man-from an administrative
and executive standpoint-in a~gricul-
tural education in the entire country.
He is made to order for the position
he occupies. Like every one else
Worst has made his mistakes-but a
careful study of his long official rec
ord will show that these have not been
very numerous nor of a serious char
acter. Coming into the work with the
experience behinl him as a practical
farmer-and his sympathies entirely
with the farmers-he has grown and
developed until he is pre-eminently
tire country.
One Of the happiest faculties of
Worst is his ability to select able men
as the heads of the departments. An
other is that he is big enough to let
them have free rein and not NEEDLE
and handicap them by personal inter
ference. He Is after results. He gives
his associates wide latitude-and they
get results.
Tactful and able, he has assisted in
overcoming the prejudices that for
merly existed against the institution
of which he is 1t the head-until to-
day practically every thinking farmer
in North Dakota feels a personal in
terest in the A. c.
In giving the N. d. A. c. a national
reputation, President Worst has been
fortunate in having unusually capa-
BILE assistants. One of his former as
sociates was Professor Hayes-now
assistant secretary of the department
of agriculture at Washington. DR..
Ladd has an international reputation.
Professor Bolley's name is known
wherever agriculture is practiced. DR..
Van Els is one of the ablest and the
least advertised men in the United
states today. Dean Shepherd has
fame in both cereal and live stock cir
cles, everywhere.
Other names could be added to the
list. The institution has many other
men-from the nat-re of their work
--less known-out of great ability and
with splendid regulations as educators.
All combine to place the N. D. A. c..
at the head of the agricultural college
work of the entire country. North
Dakotans are justly proud of it's po-
sition. Fargo-the location of this
excellent institution-has every rea-
son to rejoice over her good fortune.

certain class Of gentlemen make a bus
mess of selling relics. This morning
bought from n in front Of our
hotel the chair in which George Wash

ration of Independence. 1t is a hand

a very reasonable price. all things

Later: The clerk at the hotel says
he believes / have been stung on that
chair proposition. He says George
Washington didn't write the Declare
ton of independence. He says Henry
Clay wrote it. The porter says John
g. Calhoun wrote it, and the elevator
boy says George AIDE wrote it. They
all seem to agree that George Wash
ington didn't write it. and that is all
that interests me.
Still later: / am quite convinced

the chair drew upon his imagination.

GROWING ALFALFA.

While the alfalfa crop In North Da-
kota has not been all that its advo-
Gates h~oped--not all that has been
predicted-stiIl it has been a great as
set. 1t has tided many farmers and
stockmen over strenuous periods and
is gradually winning it's way.
In the truest sense of the word-no
strictly hardy alfalfa has been
found-but the people Of North Dako-
ia are getting benefits from what they
have. 1t is proving of high value un-
til such time as the long expected
hardy variety is secured.
Just because a plant is not 100 per
cent perfect-there is no reason for its
general condemnation as a valuable
factor in live stock raising in North
Dakota. Whatever percentage Of value
it does possess is a distinct gain-over
nothing.
The chief argument against alfalfa
is the difficulty in getting the plant
started. This can be overcome by
proper preparation of the soil, drain
age and other features. Don't go in at
first with the intention of planting
your entire farm in the crop. Try a
small area at first. Get familiar with
the seeding, growth and advantages
of the crop-and 0 will finally win
out.
Remember, in addition to it's many
other misunderstanding increases
rather than decreases-the fertility of
the soil ON which it is grown.
