This action was taken at IL
O'Clock Tuesday night at the asso-

The committees had been in joint
session with the executive board Of
the Consolidated since early Mon
day morning.
Officials Of the association, in
statements issued after the meeting
adjourned, declared that they found
II impossible to close a contract
with local buyers for the pool. They
were not willing to take prices
similar to those recently paid for
the Green River-Equity pool, which
ranged from $40 to Sc for leaf and
lugs. and from 50 to 81 for trash:
the tobacco that graded under the
So sample to 30 at $4.
They were not satisfied with the
samples offered by Il. T.. OFlynn,
who agreed to take the entire pool
at prices rnaging from $ll to IS

WARS COSTLY @ U

It would be well for those warlike
souls who insist that it is the duty Of
the United States to intervene in Mex
leo to spend a few moments in count
ing the cost; not only in the imme-
date expenditure Of blood and treas
thousands from channels of produc-
tive employment, but in the burden of
pensions hat must be borne for years
to come, comments the Newark, News.
In the forty-nine years that have
elapsed since the close Of the Civil war
the nation has spent, and spent gladly
and u~ngrudgingly, our and a quarter
billion dollars on account Of pensions
growing out Of that struggle. The
Spanish American war was not much
Of a war as wars go. but the annual
pension list arising from it is now
$4,000, 900 and is likely to become
larger.
Wa with Mexico would mean a tre-
mendously augmented pension roll,
n as experience with Civil war PEN
sions has proved, fifty years hence the
people of the United States would still
be paying millions Of dollars every year
IN account of a conflict which would
be as much ancient history to most Of
those then living as is the last Mexi-
can war to men Of the present day.
1t is a tremendous burden to place
upon posterity and can be justified
only by unacceptable necessity.

listing prohibition laws. He has no
discretion,
Should Wishek be nominated and
elected governor. he would have to
enforce the law. If he evaded his du-
ties he would be impeached and re-
moved from his position in disgrace.
If there Is an overwhelming demand
in North Dakota for resubmission. the
proper plan Is to elect members OF the
legislature favorable to that idea, let
that body submit the question to the
voters in the form Of a constitutional
amendment. Then, if there are a ma
jority Of voters favorable to the law.
the people will elect a legislature that
will make it possible to sell liquor.
That is the only way it can be done.
The governor of this state, no mat
ter who he Is, cannot bring about the
sale Of liquor. Neither can he pre-
vent It. if the proper methods are
pursued and the people vote a. consti-
tutional amendment to that effect.

A WISH.

I wish I owned a little green-turfed
plot,
Planted with old blush rose and blue
forget-me-not,
Deep in the heart Of some small coun-
try spot.
I think my soul would be more COM
forted
If / should say: "where'er my feet are
At the long last, this place will b. my
bed"
My plot would face the sun, and all
day long
Soft checkered light and shade should
dance upon
My waiting home amid that silent
throng.
To me 'twould seem a haven safe and
Far from hot squalid streets and city's
lure
A place forever quiet and secure.
I envy those who go with totterins
To plant with feeble hands a message
sweet
Within their plot, to those they soon
may meet.
No wealth have I, 10 kindred. or a
home:
Stern fate alone can tell where I may
roam
Before 1 sleep at last beneath the Loan.
And oh! that / might know where
shall lie!
My sorry days would pass more peace
fully
We dread so many things, my soul and

HELP WANTED.

While the federal government is APP
pointing commissions to roam through
the country to ascertain the cause Of
industrial unrest, to run down the rea-
son for the high cost of living, and to
solve other abstract problems in So
GEOLOGY. the suggestion has been made
that at least casual attention be given
the civic service schedules. The ordi-
nary citizen is inclined to look on any
one in a federal position as the occu-
quiry appears to reveal that this is
true only in offices which are filled
without competitive examination. For
some unexplained reason, civil ser
ton and possess the highest qualif-
cations, are rewarded with the lowest
salaries.
The examination announced for
physicist will serve to illustrate the
principle. The government wants APP
plicants who are skilled and expert
enced in Autobiography and metal
lurgy. with a reading knowledge Of
French and German, who have pub
lished scientific books, possess a
bachelors degree, and are competent
to carry on research work. The stu
pendous salary attached is $1,400 a
year. Yet, to fill his position with
n incumbent the government will
hold an examination in every state Of
the union. and the total cost of the
test will be many times the amount Of
the salary paid the unfortunate victor.
The pitiful farce of the system is that
the law requires an examination for
such an office which properly could
be in the exempt class, while all the
decently compensated positions, in
stead Of being filled by open examina-
tons, are placed in the hands Of pro-
fessional politicians to be traded for
votes and favors.

THE DRIFT AWAY FROM
ENGLAND IN CANADAJ

Editorial in the New York Sun: The
appointment Of another member of
the royal family, Prince Alexander Of
Teck, to succeed the duke of Con-
naught as governor-general of Canada,
is in pursuance of a settled policy to
stimulate loyalty in the Dominion. In
commenting upon the appointment
when it was either earlier in the month
the Ottawa Free Press said with what
seemed a touch of satire:
The opinion is that Canada will
continue to receive princes Of the royal
blood as governor general hereafter.
1t is thought that in the course Of a
few years the post may be made per-
manent and hat a prince once ap-
pointed to represent the king in Aus
tralia, Canada and the other oversee
possessions may be appointed for life"
There can be no doubt that attach
ment to the crown would be strained
to the breaking point by the constant
reminder that Canada was a royal
possession, at least nominally. Since
the federation Of the provinces and
until the duke of Connaught was sem
out the general were not
members of the royal family, although
the marquis of Lorne was a. relative
by marriage. The loyalty of Canada
was AOJ III puCOllOh WITCH Cl1 OAl1
Young, the earl of Dufferin, Lord
Stanley, the earl of Mimic and Earl
Grey represented Great Britain at Of
tawa. Today it has become a solicit
tude of the government to prevent
further decline of Canada's regard for
the mother country. In location the
people are still proud of the British
connection and they resent the imput-
alton that they are not loyal to the
throne. But in the Dominion at large
the drift is away from the old love
and from the old traditions.
A correspondent of the London
Times has made a study of the process
Of detachment, and he goes so far as
to say that Canada is being American
lied. This does not mean that Canadi-
ans desire annexation; it means that
British influence in the country is
waning, and that the organization Of
a republic may be nearer han the
British statesmen care to believe. The
Americans who nave migrated to Can
ada, chiefly to the west, are in a
minority, and many of them were not
born in the states but in continental
Europe; but they have an influence
out of all proportion to their numbers.
This influence is logical enough, for

dropped in. The wife told her trou-
bles, mother shifted at the potatoes,
took a look at the skillet and then sat
down in a chair and laughed hysteri-
callly. When she came to herself
enough to talk we found what allied
the potatoes. Neither of us had
known that the coat of varnish on the
inside of a new skillet cannot be wash
ed off, but must be turned over the
fire and burned off. After that the
missus neve failed on frying potatoes
to a kings taste, but it was a sore
subject-that vanished skillet-for
several years.
We had some trouble, too, with u
first batch Of butter. OF course, we
had a new churn and a new COW. I
did the churning and got a fine batch
of butter. It was not fit to eat, how
We had yet to learn that a new
wooden churn needs a days soaking
inside with hot water, salt and soda
to take off the taste Of the wood.
And we also raised a
Scotch collie. He was a frolicsome,
affectionat pup and found life full of
joy and gladness. He had all the &C.
complishments that could possibly be
demanded of an intelligent dog. He
sucked eggs and broke up sitting hens
and killed little chickens. He hol-
lowed out a nice deep hole in which to
cool off in the center of the flower
bed. When in the heat of a summer
afternoon Grandmother Hixon would
drop in barefoot and seat herself on
the back doorstep n give the mis-
sus good advice about garden and
poultry and canning fruit that pup
would sprawl on the ground in front
of her, apparently asleep and at peace
with the world; and presently, as
grandmother fdgeted around and her
bare toes were exposed to view, the
pup would cock one ear, bare his teeth
like a baby smiling, make one hound
and he had her by the big toe. There
would be a scream, old fashioned
"jawing' on the part of the Grand
mother Hixson, and she would mosey

eality-for many deaths shortly after
forty? Bright's disease, diabetes,
hardening of the arteries, organic
heart ailments-these are the ills
which are increasing adult mortality
after forty.
And before these ommon ailments
medical science is all but impotent.
What causes these ailments which
carry away so many just as society
is reaping dividends from its invest
ment in their education and train
ing? The answer is simple: High
mortality after forty is caused by
wrong living methods before forty.
What Conscience do about that?
Little, apparently, except to issue
warnings which few heed.
Infant mortality is due largely to
community conditions that are easily
handled by the community.
Adult mortality is due largely to
individual bad habits which cannot be
handled by the community.
These diseases Of adult life are all
due, nevertheless, to preventable
causes-but prevention rests wholly
with the individual.
Dissipation, irregular hours, over
eating, Overdrinking, worry-these
are the enemies that menace adult
humanity. And their greatest mis-
chief is that they work in such deadly
stealth. A mar may dissipate and
overeat AND overdrink and worry in
his Juveniles and thirties without
much apparent harm. Yet a decade
or decades later. in his ~forties, ffties
and early sixties, he goes untimely,
when he should be in his prime, to
swell the statistics Of adult NOR
tally.
Life after forty is determined
largely by the manner of life You
live before forty.
The problem Of high mortality
after forty can be solved only by i'm
proved living habits before forty.
Cure for ailments like these there
cannot be. The solution rests with
the individual more largely than with
society and sciene.

BEGINNING HOUSEKEEPING

E. E. Kelley in the Toronto. Kan,
Republican: The other day 1 saw a
newly married couple driving out of
town in a wagon. The wagon was
loaded with a stove, cooking uten-
sils and furniture. The young folks
were going to begin housekeeping.
It made me bark back to a SINH
lar occasion a number of years ago.
The missus and I went to housekeep-
ing in two rooms. We had 500 to
spend on the equipment of those two
rooms. AS I remember now we had a
new rag carpet for the front room, and
the usual amount Of necessary furni-
ture. The coo stove was our pride.
It cost more han the cook stove own
ed by either mother-in-laW, and would
burn wood or coal.
Our first meal we had together and
alone was dinner. I was fond of fried
potatoes. . 1 am yet. 1t is the one
article of food Of my younger days
for which l still have an unimpaired
appetite. When a boy I had an ap-
petite for rice with brown sugar
and nutmeg sprinkled ove the top. In
those days I promised myself when I
was a man I should a rice prepared
that way three times a day. Strange
to say, for years / have looked on rice,
served in any form, with loathing.
So the missus fixed a dish Of fried
potatoes for me. They smelIed good
cooking and were Drowned enough to
be appetizing to look at. Going back
through the years as best, / can with
judicial calmness and unimpaired
mental vision, it was the worst tasting
dish of potatoes ever served to a hu-
man being. I made a stagger at
eating a mouthful or two and gave it
up. The missus flushed n admitted
frankly she didn't know what allied
them. Neither did l., only 1 couldn't
eat 'em. .
After dinner her mother n-law

HIGH MORTALITY AFTER
FORTY MEANS BAD LIVING
HABITS BEFORE FORTY

Duluth Herald: Science has sue
ceeded in lengthening the average of
human life in this country.
But 1t is painfully clear that the
gain lies almost wholly in the reduc.
ton of infant mortality.
More babies than ever before live
through the perils of babyhood.
But, on the other hand, mortality
after forty is increasing rather than
decreasing, and so far science has
been unable to stop that dangerous
trend.
1t Is dangerous because by it So
ciety loses many of its ablest and
best factors in the years Of their
highest usefulness.
1T is one of the sad things" Pro-
lessor Sedgwick said recently, that
so far we have succeeded chiefly in
saving life at the lower end-baby
life. We have prolonged infant life
and diminished infant mortality; we
V been much slower in securing
any prolongation of life above the
age of forty. That is where we want
extension. A baby is a very useful
thing. but it certainly is not Of any
use compared with a life at forty,
which has been we'll prepared at
great expense and which ought to be
SlllClGI1L ana winch we ought to pro-
long just as much as we possibly
can
Indeed, by nursing more babies
through babyhood into adolescence,
there is hardly any doubt that we
nurse along into adult existence many
weddings, only to increase the adult
mortality.
But the problem of reducing in
FAINT mortality and the problem of
reducing adult mortality are two very
different things.
Insanitary conditions, ill-judged
feeding, bad milk, ignorance and
similarly manageable factors cause
q high infant mortality.
With these science and intelligence
can cope-are, indeed, coping sue
~cessfully.
But what makes for high adult NOR

But Kaiser grew to dogs estate
and became dignified and forsook the
tricks of puppyhood. And when the
first baby was old enough to toddle
around he became her self-constituted
guardian. When back yonder four

Of youth to the days when the shadows

POWERS OF GOVERNORS,

A hazy n confused idea as to the
powers Of governors in North Dakota
seems to exist. There are some who
profess to really believe that by nom
mating and electing J. H. Wishek gov
ernor they can bring about the sale of
liquor. The friends of Mr.. Wishek are
using that argument in localities
where they believe the resubmission
sentiment is strong, or where they
think the people are so ignorant or
30 gullible they will swallow such
statements.
AS a matter of fact the governor
has nothing to do with enacting North
Dakota's laws. The legislature. not
the governor. does that. The governor
must enforce the laws as he finds
them on the statutes. He can no more
permit the sale of liquor than he

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that rapid eating
ing is slow suicide" If you have form
ed the habit of eating too rapidly you
are most likely suffering from indiges-
ton or constipation, which will result
eventually in serious illness unless
corrected. Digestion begins in the
mouth. Food should be thoroughly
masticated and insalivated. Then when
you have a fullness of the stomach
or feel dull and stupid after eating,
take one of Chamberlain's Tablets.
Many severe cases Of stomach trouble
and constipation have been cured by
the use of these tablets. They are
easy to take and most agreeable in
effect. Sold by all dealers.-Advt.
