D,sPosEs OF $1,000 ACRES.
Commissioner Henry Returns From
Land Selling Trip-Locai Farmers
Add to Holdings.

Bismarck. - Land Commis sioner
Frank S. Henry has returned from his
land selling trip in the western part Of
the state. A total Of $1,000 acres was
disposed Of in five counties and the to-
tai price was $72O,;99. of which about
$4,000 was paid in cash. Most Of
the sales, in fact all but very few
quarters, were made to local tseople,
farmers who were adding to their
holdings. The sales were in Stark.
Mercer. Divide. Williams and Burke
counties and while there was good
deal OF land sold it represents only a
small amount of the land owned by
the school fund of the state. Less
than one-quarter of the land so owned
was disposed of at these sales. There
was sale scheduled for Dunn county
at Manning but on account of the al.
most impossible condition of the roads
this sale was put off. 1t is possible
that the board will set another date
for some time during the summer.

RELATIONS OF GOD AND MAN
Gradual Readjustment Means Con-
tinuai Advance Toward the
Higher Life.

In studying the Bible it becomes in.
creasingly apparent that. the relations
between God and man are not con.
slant or fixed, but are subject to a
gradual REIMBURSEMENT. In the earlier
chapters the ideal held out is for man
to fear" God. Later he learns to
trust. to a limited extent. this higher
life. Eventually this grudging faith
Is turned to love. which recognizes God
as the father. constantly giving him
self. as life and wisdom. to his chill
dren. And beyond this comes that
fruition Of growth which constitutes
real unity; man is merged with God.
and. comes to realize that Il and the
Father are one"
God never changes. but our under.
standing of him does change. And
1t is the evolution of this ideal which
we have Of the great sea of life in
which we live, and which lives in
and through US. which constitutes real
growth and advancement. Life is for
that; the everyday tasks tend toward
the bringing forth of self-conscious-
less, which is always a fuller consci-

FEW CAN ESCAPE NOSTALGIA
Aomesiekness Claims Victims From

Variety Of People.

German sailors ON steamships which
are held up In New York are said to

ness and inconsistencies are the causes,
hospital authorities say.
Homesickness finds strange victims.
Army surgeons know that sometimes
1t kills. Often it is the man without
a regular home who is most subject
to nostalgia. This disturbance of
soul. mind and body settles down upon
the phlegmatic. the burly. the thick
skinned. 1t takes them under sunny
skies amid the earth's best loneliness
and they moan for dirty streets where
they played in childhood.
Idleness breeds inconsistencies and
active diversion cures it. It is akin
30 melancholia and comes in mystic
rious ways. Probably it arises from
the biological impulse intended to an
Choir man in one place long enough
for him to take root. Its opposing in
stfnct is the wanderlust.
Explorers have confessed that the
worst inconsistencies they have known
was in the first few hours and days
of their return. In familiar surround
ings the marks of times memorable

Changes, small and large, tortured
them by reminders of the precious
past. Some have turned in Respondent
revulsion to take up their roamings

 Investigation showed that plain everyday American horse hide is the only skin used for covering baseballs and that there is the usual supply in sight This hide does not stretch or sag under the impact of bat and has always proved satisfactory Per haps" remarked one manufacturer the Siberian pony skin would stand up better under the batting of "Ty' Cobb or Jake Daubert but the aver. age hitter of the major and minor leagues, American horse hide can ssand his lustiest belts and come back for more.

CHARMS VALUED AS
 OFFSETS 10 PERIL

LONDON, Feb. 16.--The British of- ficial eyewitness. in his latest dis patch, refers to the number of am- ulets and charms which have been collected from prisoners. Many of these are probably of very ancient or igin and have been handed down through many generations of peasan- try.
 Not a few of the prisoners are in possession of the so-called prayers which are really written charms against death, wounds, disease and every imaginable evil One such doc ument mentioned by the official eye witness begins thus:
 "A powerful prayer, whereby one is protected and guarded against shot and sword. against visible and invis- ible foes, as well as against all man ner of evil May God preserve me against all manner Of arms and wea. pons, shot and cannon, long and short swords, knives or daggers, or car pines, halbards. and anything that cuts or points, against thrusts, rap iers. long and short rifles. or guns. and suck Ike which have been forged since the birth of Christ; against all kinds of metal, be it iron or steel brass or lead, ore or wood" And fur ther circumlocution. the list goes on to include "all kinds of evil reports. from a blow from behind. from witch. craft and poisoning"
 Curiously enough the list of danger omits the only mischance which actu- ally befell the owner-that of being made a prisoner of war. The doru- ment is of inordinate length, and ends with some cabalistic letters and num- erals and with an obscure reference to a blessing upon the Archangel Cab. riel"
