"Forty miles from water,
Sixty miles from wood,

We're coming back for good"
And an exchange suggests, "Come
to North Dakota, correct in elevation,

your wife's relation, have good times
and free salvation, with no danger of
starvation. This is worth considera-

Reports from the country are very
encouraging. The harvest weather
has been ideal and large per cent
age of the wheat is in the shock while
some of it has been stacked. The ear
ly harvest has given the farmers an
opportunity to do much of the work
with the assistance Of none but their
own families. 1t is not an unusual
sight to see the wife driving the bin
der while the head of the house and
other members Of the family shock
the grain. Farmers learned last year
that it doesn't pay to raise Is cent
wheat when the profits all have to be
paid out for labor at the rate Of three
or four dollars day. The farmer is
depending more on what he can dc
himself, every year. Smaller farms,
more independence, better crops, lar.
ger returns are the results of scien-
tific or more intense farming.

The lawns of Minot were never as
beautiful before at this season of the
year. The rains have brot life to
them and made them as green as in
June. The flowers are now at their
best. Geraniums, roses, tulips, sweet
peas, nasturtiums, and pansies make
hundreds of yards rarely beautiful.
We don't have to 60 to California for

them in profusion right at home. And
yet there are so many homes bare Of
flowers. Some people are missing
half the pleasure Of living.

Mexico to untangle the mess that gov
eminent is in. John Lind and the
other representatives who are in Mex
leo, representing the government and
the president, are calmly studying
the situation. They were undisturb-
ed when President Huerta gave the
United States but few hours in
which to grant his recognition. The

are doing the best they can to handle
the situation without resorting to
arms. In this, they are showing ex-
ceedingly good sense.

how they'll suffer. North Dakota is
the hunters paradise. No matter
how busy you are, spend few days
in the field. You are living on this
old terrestrial ball but once. If you
can't shoot, accompany someone who
can, and carry the game. Develop q

Of the foreign element" and It adds
that the Paterson strike profits no.
body except "the blatherskite and
blood-sucking leaders," who, shaving
pumped Paterson dry" will now move
on to some other place. In the view Of
the New York World, the strikers
have been used "as pawns in sense
less class war;" and the best hope the
l. w. w. agitators can give them after
"a futile and cruel strike" is that
"they will return in six months, if
need be, to make more trouble" while
the New York Herald thinks that:
"If the Paterson experience in open
ing the eyes of American working
men to the danger of following such
leadership as that of Haywood and his
associates the investment represented
by loss of wages, piled-up debt, and
untold suffering may not be so bad q
one after all"
Paterson pays high price in this
experience, the New York Journal Of
Commerce maintains, "for the bene-
fit of communities which were liable
to be similarly afflicted" and altho
the offending l. w. w. leaders get off
virtually free of penalty" it is to
be hoped chat their power for mis-
chief is fatally broken" while the
New York Times, according Paterson
the need of triumph for its twenty
two weeks resistance, tells us of the
/. w. w.:
"That organization aims, not at the
improvement of the condition of la
borers, but at the destruction of the
state and the extinction of law. If it
had triumphed in Paterson, it would
have developed into dangerous force
with growing influence throughout the
country. The firm stand of the Pater-
son officials and the business men of
the city has tended to defeat an or
ganization which is the avowed enemy
of government, and the whole nation
should be grateful to Paterson"

WORK OF THE l. w. w. IN
PATERSON.

The Literary Digest in a recent is
sue summarizes the results Of the
strike at Paterson, N. j., which lasted
149 days, cost human lives and ten
millions Of dollars. Haywood and his
fellow agitators led the $4,000 strik-
ers to defeat in hopeless campaign.
Even the Paterson papers, however,
compliment Haywood on his success in
preventing violence among class Of
strikers who would need little or no
encouragement along that line, 50
that where the l. w. W. is blamed
for one phase of it's work in Paterson,
it is praised for another. The only
victory the strikers did gain was the
shortening Of the working day, con-
cession that was offered before the
strike began.
A similar accusation Of error
against the strikers is put forth by
the Newark Sunday Call, which points
out that:
The great blunder was the tolera-
ton Of interference by the Industrial
Workers of the World an alien or
ganization, without knowledge OF bus
mess, not concerned in the local con-
ditions, but DESTROYS of obtaining q
foothold in this section Of the country,
at any cost, for the benefit personally
of few leaders and for the advance
ment of vague socialism, change

Of the 1. w. w. instantly divorced

be just as good for the merchant, me-
chanic and farmer? It may be that
the 1918 legislature thought of the
rate of interest for the farmer like the
tariff theory for the farmer, when
put in practice to make
the farmers pay high prices and sell
below cost of production. Example:
We have q tariff of 25c per bushel on
wheat, yet wheat is selling cheaper
in the U. S. than Canada. We have a
tariff of Is cents per bushel on pota-
toes, still many farmers around Ber-
thold, after shipping and selling their
potatoes last spring found themselves
in debt for freight. Great theories!
Those that shift the taxes, tariff, or
interest burden on that class which
controls neither buying nor selling
prices.
Banks Pay 4 Per Cent.
Laws Of 1911, reads: ITO further Sc
cure the safety Of the city or school
district funds deposited under the pro-
Gil or school board shall satisfy itself
Of the responsibility Of the several
banks proposing to act as depositor-
les and any bank offering more than
four per cent per annum on deposits,
subject to check shall not be designat-
ed as depository under the provis-
ions of this article"
This provision presupposes that the
banks are at the mercy of the bor-
rowing public. No doubt but the leg
islator in voting for such law was
under the impression that bankers &C.
cupied the same position in loaning
money as farmers in selling grain.

Banker: Can't you pay more than

Borrower: That's all I'll pay. You

The total cash receipts as reported
by State Superintendent for year end

would cost them 1925, 764 in interest.

A Day Long Ago.

Tn a lecture at the Royal Academy in London recently on the movement of the stars. Professor H. H. Turner stated that forty-six millions years ago there were but sixteen hours to a day and twenty nine days to month.
 Some ten million years before that the day was ten hours long. and going back still further into the recesses of time it was reduced to one hour. That, explained Professor Turner, according to the London Chronicle, was when the earth and moon were close to- gether-when they had recently part ed company, in fact. and had started on their career as separate bodies.
 The principle, said Professor Fur ner, applied to a very large class of bodies in the sidereal system-the double stars. Astronomers knew two stars in the sky so close together that it had never been possible to separate one from another, even through the best telescopes, though it was kHeWn that one of them was very consider ably brighter than the other, and it was supposed that eHe was describing an orbit around the other.
 At the other end of the scale there were some stars that had not com Bletea their orbit iR the century since they were described by HeEscheil. Some of them might occupy two CT three hundred years, and there was even instances in which the orbit would occupy thousands of yeaGs.
 The cause of the changes in the
