WHY HE WAS IN THE WAY
CTS Talking to Their Horses as They Wished.

The weather had been very wet for weeks, and the roads, Somewhere across the Channel" were in a very bad state.
 Consequently, it was not surprising that wagon in a certain British sup ply column suddenly dived into hole full of mud. and refused to budge.
 At the critical moment up came an army chaplain, who at once profered his services.
 Men he said. T see you're in diff culties. Can be of any help?'
 Yes. sir answered burly ser geant, bluntly, as he mopped his brow. you can give us the greatest help by making yourself scarce.
 Making myself scarce!" gasped the chaplain. Why. how"
 Yes, sir" broke in the sergeant; You see. we cant very well say to the horses what they'd understand. while you are about"

"CREDIT" FARMER NEEDS

National philanthropy for the farm is neither necessary nor desirf ble The chief "credit" which the American farmer needs is the credit for having common sense and normal de- desires for pleasing and satis- flying life on the farm.
 Point out by example the benefit that will naturally ae- erue to all if he will merely help himself by working with his neighbors, both in town and country, and you will go a long way toward solving the rural so- cial problem. the rural eduea- tional problem. the rural eco homie problem and, incidentally, a most important national prob lem.
 If the American people will learn to live with the farmer in-' stead of trying to live off the farmer. the entire business of agriculture will have received most stimulating redireetion.- D. A. Wallace, Editor the Farm CT.

KING OF NORTH DAKOTA.

Governor Hanna has been formally
invested with the Grand Cross of the
Order of St. Olaf. The king Of Nor
way wanted to show his appreciation
for what the governor had done, so
he bestowed this rather rare honor
upon our states chief executive. The
Order of St. Olaf was formed by King
Oscar in the early eighties and since
that time the Grand Cross of that or
der has been. presented to certain
individuals who have done a positive
service to the Norwegian race. Gov
ernor Hanna in 1914 made a journey
to Norway, where he took a promi-
nent part in the Centennial celebra-
ton. 1t was largely through his eff
forts that the Lincoln monument fund
was secured When the governor and
party visited Norway, they were re-
ceived with all Of the honors that
could have been bestowed upon the
crowned heads of Europe. AS an IL
lustration, a Minot banker received a
letter from a friend in Norway stat
ing, 81 met the king of North Da-
kota'' .., t..-..y- ..u.:.
When the king of Norway offered to
honor the governor with the Grand
Cross, Mr.. Hanna did not know wheth-
err it would be we'll to accept it or not,
but finally decided that there was no
reason why he could not. Seldom has
the cross been bestowed upon man
who is rot a member of the Scandi-
navian race Six ministers of the
Gospel in this country have received
the cross and several others. At the
last session of the Norwegian law
making body, the Storthing, the mat
ter of disorganizing the Order of st.
Olaf was voted upon and nearly car
ried. The Norwegian socialists and
others among the common people do
not believe that the king ought to
be invested with the power of Great
ing knights of the order, so within a
few years, the chances are that the
order will be but a memory. In the
meantime, the king will lose no OPP
portunity to scatter his crosses here
and there among friends of the Nor
wegian race. sa ...f ..G u..5",.
The governor is far-sighted poll
tician. He has been criticized by his
f political enemies for making that trip
across the water for votes, but it ap-
pears that he received just about the
3 number of votes he needed for his re-
election. .4 -f4.[ ~ w bua

be charged for the sealed sanitary
goods But who would return to the
open cracker barrel In the country
store, standing for days and weeks,
who has once had his crackers in the
sealed box, crisp from the oven and
protected from the moisture and
dust? And this applies to scores of
other foods once sold in bulk and now
in packages. Naturally they cost
more. In selling food by the bulk the
manufacturer had mo reputation to
lose, for no name went with The" food;
with the packages a manufacturers
name is at stake, and if his quality is
inferior the consumer is quick to
change from Jones' prunes to Smiths
prunes. She knows whose product to
buy and whose product to avoid. Then
there is the question Of health that
the food sealed in packages naturally
carries with it, and it is a poor econo-
nv that trifles with the best, cleanest
and most nutritious food. If it were
simply question of convenience
whether to buy food in the bulk or in
packages, then economy would pc IN
order. But where the question touches
the quality of food, it's cleanliness and
nutrition, then the economy assumes
a different aspect and the cheapest is
by no means the most economical. So,
in this agitation as to whether it is
greater economy to buy food in bulk
or in packages, it is well for the house
wife to decide what is true economy.
The poorest kind of. economy is al

noNrT PE A HUMAN SHEEP.

A sheep is harmless enough. He
thinks up no devilish schemes. He has
a good disposition, and seldom gets
mad, unless boys tease him. he is
even pretty. Poets write about nm
but that may be no recommendation,
for poets do many strange things.
With all his good qualities. however
a sheep remains sheep. He lives a
plain Sheep life. going shecp-like as
be seems to think he was born to 60
No sheen has ever tried to become
something greater, higher, better than
a sheep. He never tries to take the
place of collie dog, or horse, or COW,
or camel, or steam engine, or man: he
is born, and he grows up (maybe!) to
have his wool clipped for others TO
profit. Finally he dies before MS
time for others to eat. =,
So while we. may say that he IS
I1ikeable sort of a mutt, the sheep, we
cannot say that he arouses any feeling
of great admiration. Don't be hu-
man sheep. NHHHs t.i 1870
