Paying tribute to the .interestHMiR-
neapOlis business men have taken in
North Dakota development, Mr.. Gil
breath said: -
Our. exposition is to give .encour-
agement to Investigation in the ag-
ricultural line. The elevator men Of
Minneapolis gave $500 as a premium
for the best, largest and best arrang-
ed collection of grains, grasses, seeds
and vegetables by anw one county,
and the lumber men of Minneapolis
did the same. thing. Corn, alfalfa
and the dairying business we, are
pushing. Corn is"to become one Of
the leading products.
In the ten years I have occupied
m office, have never had SO many
inquiries for statistics regarding CON,
aitiOns in North Dakota as / have

GROWING BOYS AND GIRLS

The following argument was pre-

production of his spoken word has

for girls tool In support of the sug-
gestion. I'd like to offer the testimony
of my own experience.
"As youngster, | took very keen
interest in sports. As you know, ]
gained tairly prominent position and
some fame. All through my boyhood
was hard as nails. Every spare
minute from study, chores, etc, was
taken up by some form of physical
play. As consequence had little or
no time for dissipation and / had no
nerves. didn't need the stimulation
of coffee and tea nor the soothing in
fiuence of cigarettes. Besides, / knew
that these would spoil my chances of
winning in athletic contests.
II had little time for girls, and none
whatever for any but the rough and
ready kind with clean bodies and clean
minds. The self-conscious, sex-con-
scious girls didn't interest me for a
moment.
"Appetites were curbed and controll-
ed by my athletic ambitions. With
high ambition in this direction, the
simple diet of the training table had a
glamour which overwhelmed, what
was considered by me, the appetite of
a mollycoddle. The hunger oceasioned
By my strenuous physical exercise and

The Christmas Ship.

The problem of a ship to carry the
Christmas gifts of the children of
America to the war orphans of Europe
has been most satisfactorily solved. Sec
retary Daniels. in full sympathy with
the purpose of this beautiful charity,
has promised that United States war
ship, to be selected later. will serve for
the transport of this cargo of Christ
mas cheer for the stricken children of
the warning countries. 1t was hoped
from the beginning of the enterprise
that such a vessel should bear the gifts
over the sea, thus standing most dis
tinctly in the name of the United
States, and Secretary Daniels letter, in
which he gives assurance that a war
ship will be available, puts the matter
on a practical basis.
The collection of the gifts goes on
apace. In various cities the PROPOSE
tion has strongly appealed to the chill
dren and their parents and shipload
Is assured. In Washington the little
folks have taken hold Of the idea with
vigor and are at work in the most
commendable spirit to make sure that
this city's showing of gifts for the
war orphans will be worthy of the Ma
tional Capital. Now that the matter
of transport has been settled nothing
remains but to make Americas Christ
mas gift such that it will stand in his
tory as one of the most strikingly
beautiful charities ever offered.

Public Opinion and Retirement.

Iii his remarks before the postmasters
of neighboring states in convention in
this city yesterday, Assistant Postmaster
General Roper discussed the subject of
superannuation in postal service in terms
which command both approval and dis
sent. Mr.. Roper said that under the law
it is the duty of postmasters to retain
assistants in service only SO long as they
are efficient and to dismiss them when
they are incapacitated by advancing
years. This is a good business policy,
good business. that is to say. from the
point of view of the selfish employer
without any regard for the humane
considerations 1t is also strictly in ac-
cordance with the law, for. as the as
siataat postmaster general declares. there
is--Iio 1aw to justify. on strict interpreta-
ton, the retention of men beyond their
point of efficiency. regardless Of how long
they have served faithfully and valuably.
Up to that point the hrst assistant
postmaster general was undoubtedly justi-
fed in going in respect to the RESPONSE
bilities Of the postmasters- But 1t is a
question whether he should have pro-
ceeded further and made the assertion
that 'it is not probable that the people
Of this country will ever indorse a sys-
tenn Of civil pensions" There Is nothing
whatever to prove this assumption. The
