n LOAN SHARK.

While the people of western states
in general and North Dakota In partic-
MAR, are fairly free from loan sharks,
there will come 4 time when there
will have TO be some legislation along
this line. Eastern states have made
Il start and a great deal Of good legis.
lation Is being turned out. The states
in the south, where there is a large
percentage of negro population, are
probably more worked up over the sit
uation and making greater efforts to
meet the case than any other part OF
the country. 1t rnight be we'll for
the members Of the North Dakota leg
islature to look into this matter, not
necessarily with the idea Of making
any particular effort at this session,
but to be ready when the need arises.
The loan shark business is one that
is easily worked and in which there is
a great profit when carried out on
the lines used in states where there
is a large urban population. In.
stances have been discovered In
states where Investigations have been
made where the original loan has
been paid many times over and that
at the end OF a number Of years the
victim owed more than he had when
the loan was originally made.

PRACTICAL IDEAS IN COST OF
LIVING.

The Oklahoma boy OF 10 who raised
1O2 bushels Of corn on one acre at
a cost of sl4,50, including So for rent,
sold his crop for 1906. 1t is in de.
nand for seed at a special price, and
it is to be remarked that he paid Sd
Il bushel for the seed he used himself.
Another Oklahoma boy, aged Is, rails
ed 5000 pounds of cotton on two
acres, and sold 1t for $3.50. The seed
brought 5000 more, making $500 as
the cash return from the two acres.
1t is no surprise to hear that 1000
boys and girls in Oklahoma have en-
tered the corn and cotton contest be-
gun a few years ago in the enterpris.
ing and vigorous young state, whose
productions have already Put it among
the foremost. A special effort is need.
ed to give intensive farming a start.
An acre set apart for an ambitious
and earnest youth may e a side is.
sue, but it's demonstration Of posi-.
bilities is Of great value.
Many a farmer plods along with
much land but poor cultivation on his
hands. Few have realized how much
even m acre signifies. In the sub
urbs Of Paris there are single acres
that rent for 81, 200 a year. The soil
is utilized all the time and every
square foot kept under the highest
possible culture. otherwise it could
not be a profitable way to employ time
and so much capital. On the basis OF
the Oklahoma boys experiment the
corn crop of this country could be
increased from three billion bushels
to fifteen billions. The cotton test
implies a like chance in that crop.
1t is said with truth that nor work
ers are needed on the farms. A high
err ratio Of yield there is also some
thing to be diligently, confidently,
worked for. The cost Of living can
certainly he influenced in this way,
and to the advantage of both consum.
ers and producers.

The fact that the state government
is becoming deeply interested in the
subjects Of good roads should prove
an incentive for the various counties
to improve it's roads and for city gov
ernments to do likewise with their
streets. Bismarck is going to make
some big improvements in its streets
next season, and as soon as the sew
ers and gas mains are laid it Is en-
oected that n movement will be inaug-
urated for paving. There is nothing
which improves a country or city nor
than good roads or streets. 1t Is one
of the irresistible improvements and
requirements in the march of progress
and any community which does not
keep up in this line Of improvement Is
bound to become a back number. 1t
is n safe prediction that Bismarck is
going to be an User" in this line of
Improvement from this time on.

INSECTS AND DISEASE.

Washington Star: Attention has
been directed within recent years to
the insect as a carrier of disease
germs. The interest in the subject
has grown as discoveries which
should result in the saving Of human
life have been announced, and there
is an increasing intimacy and refa.
tionship OF teamwork between physi-
clans, psychologists and entomolo-
gists. 1t is not possible that the dis
coveries in this wide field of the con-
nection between insects and human
disease have been exhausted.
The sum Of these discoveries so far
and the professional acceptance OF
their verify is universal is that fieas
are agents in the spread Of bubonic
plague, that the bedbelg and the house
fly will disseminate any germs Of any
disease that will cling to its sticky
feet, that typhus is conveyed by the
BODY louise, that mosquitoes i%noculate
men with malaria and yellow fever,
and that the tsetse fly introduces in.
to men the germs Of the dreaded
sleeping sickness. In the matter OF
the cause Of pellagra suspicion is TO-
cused on q black fly long considered
as beneath the dignity OF notice by
mar. That fly is on trial by scientific
courts and juries. and II he is guilty
OF the charge against him he has no
chance for escape. No maudlin senti.
rnent and technicalities can operate
in his behalf. s1f he is guilty he will
be convicted and II convicted, con
demned.
Americans have done important
work in exposing the dangerous char.
acter Of certain insects, and the cam:
paign is now being carried on

4 VERY ANCIENT TUNE.
II Is Also Probably the Most Popular
One IN the World.


One IN the World.
: Perhaps the most firmly established
popular song In the world ts the alt IA
miliar to Americans as 1--WE Won't 80
Home Till Morning" The origin OF the
tune is obscure, but Louis Elson be.
lieves that the music was composed
as a love song in the tenth century or
earlier by one of the troubadours, the
wandering Ministries of southern
France. Chateaubriand. the French
writer, heard it sung by the Arabs, and
he suggested that it might have been
carried to the orient by the French cru
saderR
1t was certainly sung by the French
soldiers during the war in which the
first Duke Of Marlborough won his
fame. 1t was the lullaby Of the baby
son Of Marie Antoinette. It became one
Of the most popular songs OF the
French revolution. Napoleon whistied
and sang 1t throughout his life. Beetho.
ven used it as n Of the themes OF his
Battle Symphony"
It has been for mor than a century
one of the most popular street songs IN
Europe. And there Is probably not a
ten year-old boy or girl in America who
does not know the tune.
The French words, beginning NAL
brook sen va-t-en guerre," were invent
ed by some forgotten French soldier
during the war of the Spanish success
sion. They describe the supposed death
and funeral of the Duke OF Marlbor-
ough, which death, in the words OF
Father Prout, did not then take place,
by some mistake" since '.the subject Of
the pathetic elegy was at the time OF It's
composition, both alive and kicking all
before him."
The song had nearly died out in
France when Marie AntOinette caught
it up from the peasant nurse she had
employed for her baby; %thereupon 1t
spread rapidly, as songs do In France.
Beanmarchais introduced it into "The
Marriage Of Figaro" and it was used
by the red republicans for incendiary
purposes Of their own. II
Several sets Of words have been sung
to the tune in the course of its history,
and it has itself undergone some modi-
acations. But its identity is clear
through all the changes. Probably it IS
familiar to a greater number OF people
at the present time than any other tune
In the world.-Youth's Companion.

the company was the conductor OF the
