"She was IN orphan and lived with a hornd relation who put ugly old

THE little girl smftngiy dipped the water from the spring ana held the

When the little girl got home the relation said Grossly. why didn't you
hurry? You've been gone most an hour #
THE little girl answered, oh, I'm very sorry! and IS she spoke two lovely
diamonds and two pearls fell from her lips
What does this mean? cried the relation, and she Don had the whole
story about the old woman. ~
We'll. if she did SO much for you she will do something really handsome

"Then she called her daughter and sent her to the spring with a pail. She

8. Persons above so a of age
shall be allowed eight weeks to rid
themselves of the opium habit. or shall
be sentenced to a term of hard labor
and fined not more than $500.
No doubt those who have pronted
by the manufacture, Importation, and
sale of opium will denounce the rul-
ing element in China as fanatics for
having adopted such drastic measures
to rid the country Of it's most blight
ing curse, but the civilized world will
applaud those of the Chinese empire
who have fought so long against this
drug and who have now set up legal
prohibition against it's manufacture
and use.
The destruction of the opium in
dustry entailed an annual loss of
something like $25, 100000 to a selfish
business interest-on act of confisea-
ton, 1t may be said, and an en-
crochment on personal liberty-but
those who battled for this kind of
prohibition evidently were willing 70
pay the price in the destruction of q
powerful interest and the curtailnlent
Of that liberty which has heretofore
led a nation into habits of degradation
and shame.

Cotton in reply, and he continued to
assert that it has been proven in every
previous instance that the chairman Of
the committee had his mind
made UP regarding the various
temperance bills before he con
sidered them. He reiterated his
charge that 1t was an insult to the
house to have such a chairman on the
committee.
Mr.. Buck arose and declared that
personally he had the highest regard
for the chairman of the committee on
temperance. but we are here not to
consider personal measures" he said,

declared that the primary question at
issue involved the observance of the
prohibition law in North Dakota, and
he thought that this measure would
lend strength and support to the eff

WHY NOT A GOOD CITIZEN?

There is a very just and a needed
criticism in the following editorial
from The st. Paul Dispatch:
Prof. 2. G. Holden Of the Iowa ag-
ricultural school says: THE person
who does not own his own home is
not a good citizen" 1t is said that
numerous professors who heard him
cheered heartily. Which is a good
deal what you would expect of a pro-
lessor.
No man will dispute the fact that
the man who owns his own home has
a different sense of citizenship than
the man who does not. A home is the
basis Of citizenship, Of course. But if
the professors statement is true, then
a majority of the people of this coun-
try are not good citizens.
1t is all very well for the professor
to say that the good citizen must own
his own home. 1t is quite another
thing for the citizen to arrange things
so he may fulfill the professors def
milton.
The men who do not desire to own
their own homes are very few, we may
be sure. Indeed, the average man puts
In his life tenderly nursing a dream
Of h home he is to own some day.
But to most men that some day never
comes.
The average salary in the United
States is less than $500. Will the pro-
fessor kindly explain how the man
who is raising a family on that
amount or less is going to own his
own home?
What We need is not the professor
who can invent an epigram of this
kind, but the professor who can tell
ds how we may achieve the result
which he tells US is so essential to our
welfare.

WEDNESDAY. FEB, 10, 1918.
NORTH DAKOTA FARM VALUES.

The Forum gave it's readers som
mighty interesting figures last night
from Uncle Sans census bureau.
During the past decade the state has
made the truly remarkable gain Of
281.9 per cent in land values. In 1900
he average value Of North Dakota
land. per acre, was $11.15. In 1910
the average value of farm land was
$3.50. Today the average value is
still higher. In 1920 it will be worth
nearly if not quite $50 per acre.
This statement is not prompted by
any over-optimistic zeal about the
future of North Dakota. 1t is merely
stating one of the things Of which
there is as little uncertainty as there
is about any future happening.
The fact that this increase is as
bound to come, as the years are TO
roll by, is not by any mean wholly
a matter of congratulation. In fact
there is an element of misfortune in
this very certainty, because it will
attract spectators in some instances
in place of real farmers.
However the actual facts. regarding
the ownership of North Dakota farms,
show that this state compares favor
ably with other states in this regard.
The bulletin states;
I'm 1910, SO per ent of all land in
farms IA in farms operated by their
owners (including part Owners), II
per cent in farms operated by man
ayers and 1873 per cent in farms
operated by tenants"
This is a splendid showing, but the
bulletin further states:
The percentage for Owners and for
was lower and for tenants
higher thar in 1900" Which means
that as the state grows older, the per-
centage of tenants on farms will in
crease.
There is a lesson which the state
should take to heart in this. A
systematic and persistent effort
should be made to get actual tillers
of the soil as owners OF the land while
the state is young and before land
values increase until it is a big task
to attempt to pay for a farm. North
Dakota holds out splendid induce
ments to young farmers. The land is
still cheap, but the state already has
splendid market facilities and these
facilities are growing better with each
year,
The Importance Of some kind Of
commission, or, as Governor Hanna
has suggested, of a business agent, to
put these facts properly before the
rest of the world is emphasized by
this bulletin which has just been is
sued by the census bureau.

PROHIBITING OPIUM.

ANY effort at reform which involves
the destruction or impairment of an
industry and antagonism of any
powerful interest must necessarily
meet with violent opposition. This
! has been the case in every step In
! governmental progress or improve
ment.
China has long been a slave to the
= opium habit, in the early days having
been furnished with opium as a medi-
cine as an importation from India,
where the poppy was planted and
manufactured into the drug. This was
a monopoly which passed into the
hands of the British East India Co. in
t175T, and subsequently into the pos
session of the English government.
/ The opium habit had now become a
fperl to the Chinese empire and it's
Ipeopbe, and the wisest ones of that
kcountry made an attempt to stop the
importation of the drug, but this was
an Interference with England's bust
ness interest and naturally trouble
ensued.
In 1888, in trying to enforce its laws
against the importation Of opium,
China brought on a war with Eng
land. Opium that had been smuggled
into China by English merchants was
~confiscated and destroyed, which was
regarded by England a. an act of war,
and hcstiIities began in 1910, the Eng
lish government compelling China to
allow the Importation of this horrible
thing that was destroying the empire.
This christian nation, which was
forcing its Objectionable and death
dealing commerce on a helpless peo-
pie, not only continued to coin the
honor and life of a nation into wealth
for itself, but it exacted an indemnity
of $21,0o0,000 for China's commendable
attempt to free people OF an awful
curse, but under the lash Of an ag-
gressive public opinion England re-
coded from this, and the way was
finally opened for China to work out
its own salvation in Kidding the coun-
try Of the opium habit.
The users and dealers and those
who profited by the sale of opium
thought it an encroachment of their
rights for China to forbid the importa-
ton or the use of the drug, but a
suppression law, effective January,
! 1912, provides that
1. Persons under 40 years of age
shall he given three weeks in which
to get rid of their opium habit; If
they disobey. they shall be shot.
2. From 40 to SO years, persons
shaiI be allowed five weeks in which
to break or their opium habit, the dis
abedient shall be punished by the
