THE FABLE OF THE YOUTH WHO
WENT TO COLLEGE AND
CAME RACK

Once upon a time there was a
young man who felt that he should
like to own great flocks of learning
and knowledge, SO he left his pater-
nal roof and took up his abode in
city that boasted State Univer-
sity. He was accompanied by his
ancestors check book and deter
mination to become an exceedingly
wise man.
Four years worked wonders for
him. He learned TO talk Esperanto
and write Greek. He learned how
to measure the distance between the
planet Jupiter and Peoria, Illinois.
He learned how TO play football
and to foX-trot. Anh he for
got how to plow corn and to
chop wood. When commencement
day came round he was the
most honorcd man in school. And
why not? He knew more about
transccndentalism than ward pol
itician knows about shaking hands.
He could crate in a manner that
would have turned senator's green
with envy. He could find more val
ues for simultaneous quadratic
equasion than his professor in math-

The Meanest Man in Hope"
presented at the opera house
last Friday evening drew full
house in spite Of the rain. The
farce was well put on, Miss
Ruth Jacobson, as the man hat
ing aunt, carried her part to
perfection, Miss Olga Bridston,
the great telemarking actress,
who appeared as Mrs. Olson,
tn e summer boarding house
keeper, has been seen before on
the local boards and lived up to
to her former reputation; the
Misses Grace and Mary Smith
Ruth Pushor acted the parts of
lonesome maidens as if they
were used to it. Miss Kroeger
appeared as Dr.. Joslyn DENLY
and created a real sensation not
only to the young ladies and
the hopeful aunt (who were all
expecting an M. D. of the mas
culine gender) but. to the audi
ence. The specialties between
acts were especially good: Mes
sers Clapper and Floyd Rey-
nolds, as the Musical Hobos,
made decided hit and the little
Quaker Maids were compelled
to respond the several enchores
when they sang the "Yama-Ya-

A great deal of credit for the
success of the affair is due to

farce, and Mrs. Knoblauch, who
had charge of the specialties.

FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF CATTLE IN
NORTH DAKOTA NOW

Unless one keeps constantly in
touch with all parts Of the state
he is apt to fail to realize how
rapidly North Dakota is progress
Tie, ;.i5 along diversified farming lines.
Corn, Alfalfa, Cattle and Hogs arc
ihe great wealth makers which arc
increasing by leaps and bounds in
all parts of This state.
r.. +. Flint Commissioner of Agri-
culture and Labor. stated at a meet
ing in Grand Forks last week that
there are at the present lime at
least $4,000, 600 worth Of cattle in
The state of North Dakota. These
figures are arrived at on a basis of
increase during the past Two years.
The assessors returned TO the de-
partment of statistics, which is one
Of the important departments under
the supervision Of Mr.. Flint, figures
showing that there were then 5l3,-
636 head of cattle in the state. Fig
urInS al conservative value per
head of $25 would make the value
of all cattle in the state in 1913,
13,59O,9 800. In 1914 there were re-
turned by the assessors to the Same
department $50, ,66S head Of cattle and
lhe value then would be, figuring
The same rate per head, S1l, ,741 700.
II is very plausible TO suppose then
that The returns for 1915 would be
at least 100000 and this would
mean. an actual cash value of $751;
0O0, 900 for The cattle in the Stale.
The figures will probably run well
over this amount as there have
been many thousands of head
shipped into The state aside from
the natural increase.

DISTANCE WHEAT IS HAULED.
In North Dakota the average dis
tance of all farms to q. railroad is
seven miles in 1915,.,while in 1906
il was eleven miles. This is due to
The building of more railroads. This
shortening of the distance cuts
down the cost of marketing a great
deal. 1,
On the average earth road the
cost of hauling is % cents a ton per
mile, or about $500 to market
load eleven miles as against 1925
10 haul it six miles.
Ehc average load of wheat hauled
in North Dakota is aG6- bushels as
against 40 bushels in Minnesota.
Washington and California are the
only states in which the loads aver
age as large or larger than in North
Dakota. If one man had marketed
all the wheat raised in North Da-
,kota in 1914 it would have taken
him $4,000 days or 1890 years, or
it would have taken $3.50 men one
month.
In Minnesota the average distance
of farm from markets is 51z miles;
in Montana, 1917 miles; in Iowa,
~ miles; in South Dakota, miles
as against 7 miles in North Dakota.

SHEEP SUITABLE TO NORTH
DAKOTA

In all there are some twenty
eight or thirty recognized breeds in
existence. OF these, however, less
than ten need to be mentioned as
being Of any value in this state.
Because Of their close, compact
wool, medium size and good NUT
ton qualities, the middle wooled
breeds stand the best chance of
paying a good profit in this state.
These are principally the Shrop-
shire, Hampshire, Oxford, Suffolk
and Southdown breeds. Some men
like the long wooled breeds, the
principal ones Of which are the
Cotswold, Lincoln and Leicester.
In few instances, where range
conditions prevail, the Rambouillet
or Merino might prove even more
profitable than the mutton breeds,
but this is. doubtful.-North Da-
