PROGRESS OF LaMOURt co.
Assets in Shape of School and Public
Buildings. Satisfied
Community.

The LaMoure Echo publishes
cut of the new LaMoure county court
house, which is one Of the handsom-
est county buildings in the state,
and the pride of LaMoure county.
Speaking of the assets of the county
The Echo says:
''She has within her borders fif-
teen progressive and wide awake
cities, towns and villages. Each and
every one of them are doing pleas
ing and growing business, a fact that
speaks for the general welfare and
prosperity of the farmers tributary
to the several trading points.
''But it is the public institutions
of the county which it is desired to
put in the foreground.
"In the first place, the state of
North Dakota is maintaining near
Edgeley a thorough experimental
station, in charge of Prof. O. A.
Thompson, who is competent and
progressive, and is doing great
work in proving the possibilities of
LaMoure county soil.
: ''The valuation Of school property
is $203,3S5, and for the fiscal year
closing July 1st, there were spent for
the maintenance of the county
schools, the sum OF 81 49,O19.31.
There are ,6S7 boys and 1,601 girls
of school age. There are one hun
dred nine school buildings in the
county, and one hundred forty-seven
teachers employed. In this connec-
ton it will be interesting 20 know
that I.aMoure county ranks second
in the state in the size OF her schools.
"Thc new court house cost $92,-
900 and with fixtures and furnish
ings represents the expenditure Of
$9G,000
''Therc are in the county 1920
acres OF productive soil, soil that is
rich and fertile, soil that is just as
good as the soil in some OF the older
states that is selling around $2HH
per acre. The water supply is A
No. /.
''The assessed valuation Of real
estate is $4,19S,379, and that of per-
sonal property s1,9S4,422. The
banks of the county are capitalized
at $377,O0O."

To some not accustomed to the ex-

heroic and yet be remedies 1t is our
business to make sure that they are
genuine remedies. Our object is clear.
If our motive is above just challenge
and only an occasional error of judg-
ment is chargeabie against us, we
shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render the
country a great service in more mat
tiers than one Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts as they are, and not worked out
as if we were beginners. We are to
deal with the facts of our own day,
with the facts of no other, and to
make laws which square with those
facts. 1t is best, indeed it is neces-
sary. to begin with the tariff. 1 will
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening of your session which can OBJ
scure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At a later time 1 may take the

forms which should press close upon
the heels of the tariff changes, If not
accompany them, of which the chief
is the reform of our banking and cur
rency laws; but just now / refrain
For the present, 1 put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of pros
perity to a great people whom we
would serve to the utmost and
throughout both rank and file.

Sunshine. PIants-and Girls.

Sunlight is SO important to life that
it is little wonder that sun worshipers
prevailed in primitive days. Plant a
potato in your cellar, and if there is a
little light the potato will sprout and
try to grow. Surround it with the best
fertilizer, water it, and do the best you
can for it except that you keep it in the
dark, and it cannot digest and grow
See how slender and pale it is, The
process of digestion, the great function
of assimilation, cannot go on without
sunshine. Natures laws are the same
in the animal world. 1t is just as true
that the only girls with red cheeks
and sweet breaths, the only girls who
become fully ripe and sweet, are those
who baptize themselves fully in glori-
Gus sunshine. The many pale girls who
are to be seen with a bloodless, half
baked sort of face, whose walk, whose
voice and whose whole expression is
devoid of spirit, are not half ripe.

The WEEK IN KANSAS
A RESUME OF INTERESTING Oc-
CURRENcES FROM ALL
PARTS OF STATE.
BOY BABIES OUTNUMBER GIRLS
The Birth Records of the State for
the Past Year Show That a War
Is Near, Says Kansas
Official.

Many centuries ago when there
were more boys born in a community
than girls in a year it was taken by
the persons of that community to
mean that there was war in sight,
and when the fact became known on
the feudal estates preparations for
fighting were begun at once.
There is no record to show whether
the birth of more boys than girls &C
tually was followed by war within
any definite length of time, but if the
old adage is worth anything Kansas
should be preparing for a fight, be-
cause the boy babies are more nu-
merous than the girls.
w. ]. V. Deacon, state registrar of
vital statistics, has completed the tab
ulation of the birth returns for Kan
sas for 1912 and he found that in the
year there were 19,435 boys and 49,
$50 girls born, s65 more boys than
girls. The records show that in ev-
cry month of the year except August
there were more boy babies than girl
babies. The Kansas birth rate is 22.41
for each thousand population.

Kansas produces nearly one-fourth
of all the alfalfa grown in the United
States. In 1912 the alfalfa area OF
Kansas reached the 1 million acre
class and, according to the figures
compiled by F. D. Coburn, secretary
of the state board of agriculture, the
total acreage for this greatest of all
Kansas tame hay crops now is 1,000,-
7S5 acres. From the reports coming
in since the Coburn figures were
gathered this area will be increased
by more than twenty thousand acres
this spring. According to the gov
eminent census figures Kansas has
more alfalfa land than any other
state, raises more alfalfa hay and has
nearly a quarter of all the acreage
devoted to this crop in the entire
country
Another important crop in Kansas
that has grown in favor with the
years is kafir. Last year its total
acreage was 1,422,114, an increase Of
54 per cent in the planting of the
year before. In discussing the two
crops, comparatively new but of great
value to Kansas. Mr.. Coburn in the
biennial report of the board of agri-
culture says:
'"They have proven more valuable
to the farming industry of Kansas
than the most sanguine in the early
'90s had anticipated, not the least of
their merits being regularity in pro-
duction, even though the season be
short of timely moisture to properly
mature other forage. Their growing
provides the best available insurance
against the dry seasons, to which
every agricultural season is subject.
and when conditions favor big yields
of other products, alfalfa and the sor-
ghums are found to respond with
equally generous increases

COLD I'm
The HEAD
Is fhe First Chapter in ihs History
Of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head is the first chap
ter in the history of disease and DEATH
This has been so often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of it.
A cold in the head is rarely severe
enough to confine q vigorous person
to the house. AS rule, 1t ends in
recovery without any treatment This
has led many people to regard a cold
in the head as of no importance. 1t is
a terrible mistake, however, to pass
by cold in the head as a trivial mat
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that few doses is sufficient to re-
move every vestige of the cold. How
much better it is to treat cold in this
way than it is to allow it to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months. leaving
effects tat viii never be eradicated-
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for a cold in the head
This neglect is due to the false notion
that a cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality a
case of acute catarrh. 1t ought to be
called SO, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject In
a large per cent. of cases cold in the
head will end In chronic catarrh. Un-
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna. perhaps 90 per
cent. of cases of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom Of
cold in the head. Usually where the
cold is not very severe tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack is
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take a tablespoonful OF
Peruna every hour. Younger people.
feeble or delicate women, should take
a teaspoonful every hour.
