FAILURE.

There is nothing that has been
overcome more times than failure.
Someone has defined failure as "the
point where effort ends AS long as
there is energy left in the human
frame a man has more than a fight.
ing chance against failure.
The beauty of it all is that failure
is often followed by success. Some
of the biggest captains of industry
have at one time been the greatest
failures. No man has gained any
thing that is worth while without
failure dotting his path here and
there. 1t is only the weakling who
succumbs wholly to failure.
Bulldog tenacity, not a white liver,
triumphs over failure. The German
legions about Warsaw would have
failed had they not hung on. There
is sucl a narrow margin at times
between success and failure that II
cannot be discerned by the naked
eye. Then you have got to use in.
stinct and hang on.
Too many people measure success
il dollars and cents. Some OF the
greatest failures have had a bank
roll that would choke a bull.
The world does not owe its prog
ress wholly to monicd men. Check
of tle really great figures in national
life and with how many names is
wealth linked?
Success often is closer at hand
than the ordinary mortal thinks. The
fields miles distant are no greener
than the ones about us. Other cities
have as many drawbacks IS own.
The only thing to do is to put the
hardware on the top shelf and boost.

To Secure

London, Aug. 3.-Sir Edward Grey,

fairs, has given the following author
lied statement to The Associated
Press:

sage to the United States of America

pie.
"The United Kingdom and the en-
tire Empire, together with their gal

termined than they are today to pros

sion which will result in honorable

Must "Diyy'

The ."ghost walked" at the State
Capitol yesterday, at least it did for
most of the employees of that institu-
ton. The washerwoman. janitors and
a number of others still have their
back pay coming for the months of
May and June, and are feeling more
,or less elated over the fact that some
action in the matter is likely to be
taken this week. The attorney gener-
al will in. all probability render a de-
cision on that point this week, and
the general belief is that the emer-
|gency fund will be short some $500
after the decision.
The big puzzle to solve yesterday
was put up to the state tax commits
sioners. Commissioner Wallace was
the only one to draw a warrant, which
was for $3.50. Just how Commissioners
Steele and Packard get in on that
is the puzzle. On a fifty fifty division
all around, each commissioner would
receive 1898, and the remainder
could be placed in a sinking fund to
use Wien they start their action
against the state treasurer.

Urge Keeping Seed Corn.

Fargo, N. d., Aug. Crop experts
advise farmers in almost every sec
ton of the state to hold onto enough
1914 corn for seeding purposes in
1916, in order to assure good seed for
next spring. While the prospects are
that there will be quite a good crop
of corr harvested this fall, it is not at
all assured that it will make good
seed, owing to the backward weather
which will make the crop mature late
with the likelihood of frosts. The
western part of the state is not at
fected so much in this respect, where
the crop is further advanced than in
the eastern section, there having been
less cold weather and less rain,
though plenty to make a good corn
crop.

PUBLICITY FOR SCHOOL. NEEDS.

Frank publicity in securing the CO
eperation OF the community in the
work of the schools is urged by w.
S. Deffenbaugh, of the L. S. Bureau
of Education, in a report on School
Progress in the Smaller Cities just
issued.
School boards that are managing
the schools ably and honestly do not
fear to turn on the searchlight,' de-
clares Mr.. Deffenbaugh. THE senti.
ment is growing among school boards
that the public should know low its
money is expended. In the most pro
gressive schools, the board and the
superintendent are presenting facts
to the people either in printed re.
ports in newspaper articles, or by
both.
Some school men, however, object
to furnishing the newspapers vita
school information on the ground that
they are thereby advertising them
selves. A superintendent who was
complaining about lack of interest
among the parents in the schools OF
his city was asked whether he re
ported the progress of the schools
through the local papers. He replied
that he did not believe in advertising
himself. He failed to grasp the idea
that school news is not for the pur'
pose of boosting a superintendent;
besides being legitimate news, it calls
attention to the needs of the work
of the school so that the school may
become more efficient.
"In several cities, as Fredonia,
Kan, there is an educational issue OF
the local paper. In some other cities
there are daily school news notes.
On the whole, the public is becoming
better informed regarding the schools
than it was a few years ago. The
tendency is toward greater publicity
by means Of printed reports and
newspaper articles.
"That the schools can work to adj
vantage through women's civic i'm
provement clubs and through parent
teacher associations has been thor
ougily demonstrated in many of the
smaller cities. Such clubs are often
instrumental in the introduction of
kindergartens, manual training, and
domestic science. The superintend-
ent Of one school utilized the wom-
ems clubs of the city by asking that
each club give some consideration to
the question, What Can Be Done to
Improve the Efficiency Of Your
Schools?' Each club discussed the
question and sent a representative to
present to the teachers the ideas of
the club. In the opinion Of the super.
intendent of schools in that city, the
plan aroused interest among the wo-
men of the city in better schools"

rotary Redfield called attention to the
