IN NORTH DAKOTA.

(By ELIZABETH PRESTON ANDER-
SON. President North Dakota W. c.
T. "
THE population OF our state has
nearly doubled since temperance went
into effect. The assessed valuation
has increased more than threefold.
The per capita bank deposit is now
s13s. The per cent Of illiteracy was
reduced in ten years from Sc to 81
per cent. The per capita wealth has
nearly doubled. II was si,114 In 1890
and is now $4,000. We have only IA
prisoners for every 5000 population.
Eight counties in the state have no
prisoners in the penitentiary. nine
counties have but one each, and 12
counties have but two each. Out OF
so counties, az have no poorhouses,
and the few scattering poorhouses in
the state have but few inmates There
are few county hospitals where poor
people are cared for II necessary.
Fourteen county Jails are reported
empty. Four counties have no jails,
and several county jails have but one
or two prisoners. Pembina county
has had no prisoners in jail for two
years and has not had to call Jury

fully up TO the average. The por-
tions referred to had ample rainfall
and blessed with conditions that put
them into a more enviable condition
than the districts first referred to.
Fortunately In most places where lack
OF precipitation prevented harvesting
a good crop this year, this is the
first OF a number OF years that 1t
has happened, and the farmers are
In position to Withstand partial
failure. Throughout all Of Manitoba,
Central Saskatchewan and the largest
portion OF Alberta conditions are
good. The raising OF cattle, sheep and
hogs is now playing an important
part In the success of the West
ern Canada Farmer. From these,
and the product of the dairy and
the creaming. he is placing himself
In an excellent financial position. 1t
Is expected that during 1915 the acre
age sown to grains OF all kinds will be
largely in excess of all previous years.
In the districts that had not the crop
that others had, there is no disheart-
edness, but embracing the opportunity
to get their land ready in good time,
and pursuing more definite methods

up of two things, natural resources
and human labor. Canada has the one

adopted resolutions condemning alco-
holic beverages and recommending
that tha various state legislatures take
steps to eliminate their use.
1T has been definitely established"
this body of scientists affirmed, that
alcohol when taken into the system
acts as definite poison to the brain
and other tissues. and that the effects
of this poison are directly or indirect
ly responsible for a large proportion
of the insane. epileptic, feeble-minded
and other forms OF mental. moral and
physical degeneracy."
They unanimously resolved: That
organized science should initiate and
carry on a systematic, persistent pro-
paganda for the education of the pub
lie regarding the deleterious effects OF
alcohol" And further, THAT the med
ical profession should take the lead in
securing adequate legislation to the
ends herein specified"
The report OF the committee on the
prevention OF insanity included the fol-
lowing resolution: That we recon-
mend to the proper state authorities
the absolute control Of the sale of al.
cohol." 1t was adopted with little dis
cassion.
According to Dr. Bayard Holmes
professor of surgery In the Chicago
College of Physicians and Surgeons,
this is the first time on record In this
country that a medical convention has
officially pronounced alcoholism to be
positive factor in insanity. and such
action is bound to have far-reaching
influence.

The yield Of wheat in Western Cana

1S5 million bushels. This is not as
large as in 1918 but for various rea-
sons will net the farmer considerably
more money. Had 1t not Leen for

| (By LUCIA FAxoN ADDITION, OF the
National W. c. T. U. Labor Depart
ment, In the Union Signal)
In connection with the national
movement to prevent Industrial acci-
dents, etc., we find a crusade, Back
with the saloon" This crusade was
resolved upon. 1t seems, at a session
OF the Foundrymen's association con.
ference held last October. Il is truly
significant--a straw telling the way OF
the wind. A committee was appoint
ed which completed viii represent
every state. II will enlist the CO
operation of the governors, state leg
islatures and license commissioners
Thomas d. West. manager OF the
Steel ESfnlSy company of Cleveland,
chairman bis committee. in re-
cent article in The Survey (Decem-
Der 20) gives conclusive arguments
why the slogan, Back with the
saloon" is "A safety first measure"
lie states that the very fact that sal
oons cluster round Industrial -plants.
especially near the entrances and ex-
its, demonstrates that the patronage
OF the factory hands is greatly priced.
Tipplers among these men are bound
to be less cautious than others even
though employed in dangerous trades.
he declares, adding that saloons near
establishments having machinery are
prime contributing factors to the acct
dents occurring and that this fact
alone should interest every manufac-
turer. society, state and municipal au-
thority now taking active part in our
nations crusade Of safety first"
Think Of the inconsistency OF com
pensation laws making employers IL
able to the payment OF heavy In
demnity while at the same time our
laws license saloons to be located next
door to factories to sell employees
drink that weakens their limbs and be-
fuddles their brains thus, without
doubt making them more liable to ac-
cidents that all the safety appliances
in the world could not prevent.
