Daddy's Bedtime
What the
Mother Giraffe
Told Her Baby.

~ q, daddy, daddy, you should have seen the big mamma giraffe and
her little babyF cried Evelyn a daddy gathered her and Jack into
his arms for the evening story. They were the cunnfngest things!
whispering into her little babys ear. Do you suppose she was telling the baby
something. daddy"

going to tell it to you just as the mamma giraffe told 1T to Ter BABY. &#&#
mot SO very long ago, but before you We're born, your daddy that you
over there in that pen and / lived in a far off country. We didn't nave
to stay in little pens and depend upon keepers to feed US Instead we lived
In wonderful green forests where the monkeys Chartered all day, Just a they
do here in their cages, only there they were free and swung from limb to limb
of great palm trees, and they used to throw cocoanuts down at u.s.. 4M@@&
"And we were very happy, your daddy and l. We could Gull the choicest
moHas from the hptop branches # the trees, we could see the beautiful blue
sky, and We had fresh air to breathe because you see, we We're SO tall that
the forest didn't shfe u.s. and we always kept u eyes open for lions and
tigers, 81 we never got hurt I'll % .8&
"rWeM, one day we saw some strange animals. They were tall and dressed
In white with white helmets on their heads, just like that animal over there
standing outside III Del and peerng n at us; then w ran and ran az fast as
we could, which is pretty fast and we hid away for a long time.
"But after awhile We had to get something to eat o W e ventured out
from or hiding place, and then the queer animals we're nowhere to be seen.
"Then we forgot all about our fright and wandered about the same as al
ways until one day we heard a terrible din. Such a clatter and huIabaloo you
never heard, and there were a great many of those strange animals yelling
and firing guns, and we began to III again. rE
"Then we got confused by terror, and we fell into a great big pit and
when we came out of u fright we were being driven through the forest,
and then we we're put or board a big ship, and we crossed the water, and
your daddy was very Ill with seaickness. Then they brought us here and we
have been tormented by those two legged animals aver since, and the only
I am happy at all is because l have a dear darling little baby giraffe
very much pretder than those two legged babies that walk around with their

THE N. D. CROP.

While it is true that the bumper
crop in some parts of the state has
been bumped, no n wants to make
the mistake Of asserting or believing
that there is not going to be a lot
of wheat raised in North Dakota this
year. Parts Of the Red river valley
were drowned out in June, other
localities in the southern part of the
state were stricken with rust. The
hot winds scorched some of the grain
in the extreme western edge Of the
state. It was a trife toe dry in a few
places in the northern part.
All these adverse conditions have
cut down the grand total of the yield
in this state. 1t has reached the gen.
eraI average and no records are going
to be broken in the way of a great
crop.
But there is another side Of the
situation. Along the main line Of the
Northern Pacific from Stutsman coun-
ty all the way through Stark the grain
situation is better than it has been for
years. There is a lot Of good wheat
east of Stutsman and west of Stark,
but the average will be less than the
2O0-mile stretch of favorable yields.
Along the Great Northern west from
Grand Forks there is in the first 200
miles some good Inc some bad crops
with the good p~redominating and the
west half the state is excellent all the
way to the Montana line. The extreme
northwestern part of the state never
had such a crop as at present. There
will be a great deal of splendid grain
in all the northern tier Of counties. Due
to the wet weather and other condi-
tions the crop in the valley is best
designated as spotted"
Harvest is well advanced, all grains
except fax being in the shock in many
sections Of the state. Rye, barley and
pats threshing was started some time
ago and the wheat threshing is now in
progress in the southern counties.
The grain is being generally rushed
to market while the demand is strong
and the price satisfactory, North Da-
kotans are going to receive a whole
lot Of money for the grain they raise.
The adverse grain crops, while tenn
porarily hard on the farmers who will
feel the effects this year, will ultimate
" be beneficial for it will hasten the
day Of mixed farming and live stock
raising.
Some people would prefer to see the
grain growers make only enough to
about break even, so they would aban-
don the plan and diversity.
Corn is apparently as fine as last
year, the best crop ever known in the
state. The potato crop, except in a
few localities that were wet during
June, is above the average and with
favorable weather for digging it will
produce a great yield.

WAR AND CIVILIZATION.

The Brooklyn Times had the follow
ing editorial comment on the Euro
pean a
let us assume that war had not
broken out. Let us assume that the
diplomatic combinations, called the
Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente,
were not in existence, and then let US
Judge calmly how to divide Europe
from the viewpoint of the cosmopoli-
tan observer Of civilizations progress
and destiny. The result of such spec
ulation-and more is the pity that it
must be idle-would be the alliance of
freedom-loving England, Of industri-
tous Germany, of progressive France,
land of enfranchised Austria Hungary
against regicidal Servia, knout-swing-
Hng Russia, and the benighted Turk.
"a war caused by the conflict of the
principles represented by such adver-
saries would result in a victory for
light and a triumph of civilization,
and the utter rout of tyranny and the
darkness of nations.
1T Is not conceivable that the rul-
,ers Of the progressive countries in
volved in the present struggle are
blind to the disadvantages Of the pres
ent alignment, or to the benefits which
would have accrued to mankind had
the ideally logical division taken place.
One can well imagine the military
forces of the kaiser allied with those
of the car, but it is almost i~nconceiv-
e ntIa#f 81 enn fha Crntri} re D-;Eas- at
side by side with that of Russia.
What, then, were the Circumstance
es which derailed the chariot of ad-
vance, and pitted against each other
the very nations which, through the
affinity Of minds and the relationship
of common aims, would have made the
right brothers-in-arms in a wor1d-war
against Russian and Servian savag-
cry? The blame is being laid upon
the kaiser. Yet, take it all in all, he
stands alone against the Slavic forces
Of retrogression. That these latter
have, through the combination OF re-
markable circumstances, secured the
help of the powers of progress is d
condition which makes mankind stand
aghast. No doubt, from every point
Of view Of international obligations,
England's position is beyond censure,
and her hesitancy before she took up
arms proved ~conclusively that nothing
but dire necessity and the loftiest
sense Of diplomatic duty could prompt
her to enter into the unnatural con-
fiicts

THE PRIMARIES.

There is a peculiar situation In
election law. Following the recent
primaries unexpected opposition to the
measure developed in many sections
of the state. 1t apparently had it's in
SEPARATION among the democrats, but the
republicans heartily responded to the
sentiment. and the strangest feature
of all was that many OF, the men who
had formerly been the most enthus-
iastic advocates of the primary law
were ready to admit is weaknesses and
are now favoring a return to a modified
convention system.
A great many political leaders are
confident that the original primary
law was immensely superior to the
present measure. 1t had the nomina-
ton of the candidates for the legisla-
ture and for county offices direct by
the primary. For state offices, it pro-
vided hat each county should select
its delegates by the primaries and they
should hold a state convention and
nominate the ticket.
The expense of the present primary
is one thing urged against the measure.
Another is its perpetuation of men in
office. The longer they hold the posi-
tons the more difficult it is to defeat
them. The possibility Of rotation of
OfFica is avtramoI1, Iipoita5
This danger may, in a degree, be
prevented by limiting the number of
terms any man can hold an office as
is done in that of state treasurer.
1t is generally conceded that through
the primaries the best material Is not
always selected. 1t is a notorious fact
that some men, lily qualified for The
positions they seek, get in by the pri-
mary route, who would never be select
ed by any politicl! convention, as no
set Of delegates would dare assume the
responsibility.
Another factor enters into the pri-
mary law. 1t destroys party organl-
cation. To some this is it's most OBJ
jectionable feature, but to others it is
regarded as not an unmixed blessing
There are many voters so non-partisan
they would willingly eliminate al
political organizations, make the pris
maries q free for all, then have the
two highest candidates for each place
make the race at the general elections
in the fall. Such a plan might be al
right If generally adopted by all states
and a provision be made for the cleo
ton Of the president and congressman
in the same manner, but at present II
is rather utopian. It would convert the
primaries into an unseemly muss and
give the men with a wide acquaintance
or a long purse the advantage over his
competitors.
There is so much dissatisfaction
over the present primary law, express,
ed by members of all parties, hat {
radical change by the legislature this
winter would surprise no one.
There is sentiment in the state fav'
oring the elimination of many stat
officers and having all the rest excep
governor, lieutenant governor AM
treasurer made appointive, and thes,
nominated by a convention composed
of delegates selected by the primaries
direct from the people.
