"In spite of this contrast the aca-
demic high school Of today is largely
tie old school. 1t is time for it to
wake up to its new problems. The
boy whose ambition brought him to-
the old school needed it's vigorous
book training. The difficulties of Latin
and Greek set him a mental task COM
mensur.0te with the physical trials he
had overcome from tender years. If
he proved able to cope with only phys
zeal difficulties he went back to the
farm; so Latin and Greek performed
excellent service as a 1ne-meshed
sieve. If he found JOY in mental
achievement, as he had in the rough
bodily struggle Of the countryside, he
went on to intellectual mastery, grow
ing stronger with every victory. 1t
was the problem Of the old-time learn
Ing to make him a leader.
The immature boy emerging from
the eighth grade in the grammar
school today goes to the high school
generally because his friends go there
and because he has nothing better to
do. He has no definite purpose, little
ambizion. no sense of personal respol-
stbilSties, no resourcefulness. His life
sand appeals to his desire for novelty
and amusement. 1t is the problem of
the new school to make him the best
citizen possible

fourths of the deposits are by the

Ward county is taking the initia-
tive in planning a campaign for more
settlers, on a more gigantic scale than
has ever been known here before. At
Donnybrook, Saturday, the nucleus of
county organization was formed.
The county as a whole will make a
united effort to pull immigration this

have forgotten North Dakota for ten
wears, will do their share. There are

ed out. A car or two of products,
speakers, pamphlets and moving pic
lures may be taken thru the east dur
ing the coming winter. North Dakota
will be taken to Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Indiana on wheels. The peo-
pie will be made to believe that we
are not lot of Icelanders living in
ice houses. A portion of this expense
will be paid from the immigration
fund to be provided by a quarter mill
tax, in accordance with a new law.
Other counties are expected to join in
the movement next year.

Men Go On Hunger strike.

Thirty Of the men who have been
staying in the "bull pen" during the
day and in Jail at night, went on q
hunger strike Sunday morning, re-
fusing to eat their bean sandwiches
and coffee. While they have not been
served with banquets, they have been
given normal amount Of food, con-
dssne q sgas sefs piess ea snd
two cups Of coffee. They struck for
more food Sunday and up to Monday
might had not tasted bite. Some Of
the young fellows who attempted to
eat their sandwiches had the food
knocked out Of their hands by the old
er fellows, who desired the hunger
strike to continue. The sandwiches
were perfectly good, but the men
seemed stubborn. How long the strike
will last is problematical.

CLASS WARFARE.

The Minneapolis Tribune comment
ing on the Industrial Workers of the
World says:
ut would be an exaggeration to say
that the Industrial Workers of the
World are real danger to our system
of government. That would be tax
ing them too seriously in a country
that, at bottom, is soundly conserva-
tive.
No propaganda that is directed to
the overthrow Of our present social
system, whose rallying cry is, No
God, no country and which is avow-
eddy for an irreconcilable war on So
ciety, can make Roadway in this coun-
try. But the ability of this organize
ton to create dissention among the
lowest types of labor, those chiefly Of
foreign birth and therefore most sus-
ceptible to such revolutionary dema-
gogic influence, has been too well
demonstrated the last year or two
not to arouse some concern.
"Repudiated by trade unionism and
condemned by the socialistic party
the leader Haywood was read out of
the latter-their influence is strongest
where ignorance is greatest. The men
ace of their presence anywhere is not
so much in themselves but in the
manner lawful authority deals with
them. Whatever strength they have
acquired in this country has been due
largely, to the ill-considered methods
used against them by over-zealous
and foolish law officials.
The mistakes of Lawrence anG

prestige among their misguided fol-
lowers, and not little sympathy from
those utterly opposed to their revolu

The Independent has heard no denial
to the rumor that hte Minot Socialists
are responsible for getting the /. w.
WIS here. A prominent Socialist ex-
plains the matter by saying that there
is only one Socialist who is respon-
sible, and that while he's sorry they
came, he's going to help them fight
their battle for free speech. A mighty
lame excuse. How can many of the
local Socialists square themselves
with the farmer?
There are $4,000 people in Ward
county, more than half of whom are
residing in the cities and towns. One
half of our population are producing
for the other half. The situation, in

settlers. Too much of our land lies
idle. Too much of that which has al

The husky little city Of Carpio paid
out over $4,000 to the farmers in
that immediate vicinity at its cream
cry last year, besides it is estimated
that $4,000 worth of cream was ship
ped to other points. A Carpio mer-
chant informs the Independent that
cows have helped the farmers in that
locality to meet their obligations dur
ing the years when farming in the
strictest sense of the word was not
very successful. All who milk cows
are able to pay cash and most of them
have bank accounts. The merchants
are prospecting and are able to dis
count their bills.

One of the l. w. WIS in the city
Jail gave the gang away. He declared
that the l. w. WIS hoped to bring
about the ruination of the farmer,
for with the backbone of our country
broken, the land would soon get into
the hands of the millionaires and the
farmers would turn tramps. Probab-
ly that's why they want to organize
the harvest hands and hold out for
four or five dollars a day.

Out in Mountrail county, near STAN
ley, a farmer wanted to borrow a
thousand dollars on a raw quarter of
land. A few years ago, the banks
would have inquired how many acres
of crop this farmer had. The farmer
had practically nothing broken but
he did have a dozen mich cows and
twenty head Of young stock. The bank
considered the risk mighty good one
and the farmer got the money. He'll
have no trouble in paying it back,
either.

There is big increase of corn
thruout this section Of the state.
Those who have been around the coun-
ty a good deal, declare that Major

Of them can at least assist the farm

There may be distinction between
Socialists and I. w. WIS, and we be-
