Of course, the Chautauqua movement
! in itself, Is simply great educationa
movement. lam sure that you have
brought into the lives of your people
and that you are bringing into the
lives of your people in every assembly
high and noble thoughts that they viii
use in the coming years.
It is impossible for you to bring be
fore the people leading thinkers ir
various lines of activity without, ir
so doing, leaving a marked impress up
on the thought of the people of the
community; and when you have left
an impress upon the thought you have
at once changed, or at any rate
broadened the vision of your people
and, of course, we thoroughly appre.
ciate the fact that your people are 60
| ing to advance and progress just as
you broaden the scope Of their vision
AS I tried to say to your people,
am thoroughly convinced that the time
| is ripe for a great national movement
looking toward the development of our
local communities in the broadcast
sense. For instance, in conversation
with the governor of the state OF Iowa.
recently, he remarked that he had
been studying statistics and had learn
ed that that was the most prosperous
commonwealth of it's size on the face
of the earth, and he gave as one rea-
son, for the wonderful prosperity OF
the people of that state, the fact that
in it there are no large cities, but
there are SO counties. In the heart of
each of these counties there is a rich,
prosperous, beautiful, little county
seat town, to say nothing of the scores
of similar towns throughout the state,
each of which is a real community cen
ter, where the people mingle together
in close relationship in their business,
their churches and their schools and
other societies, and it is a fact that
these things in the aggregate consti-
tute our civilization and feel that you
people in Valley City are really work
ing toward the general betterment and
advancement of your civilization when
you are devoting your time, your
thought, your effort, and your money
in promoting an institution, such as
you have here.

jamestown Man Speaks
Pres. Kroeze, of Jamestown College,
gave an interesting address as part of
the program Friday night. He spoke
on the preparation for life, strongly
urging that one should find his place
in life and then fill it we'll, having at
all times consideration for the moral
values and allowing love to be the d.
recting force of that life.
Messrs. Vogel, Norgaard and Axel
very kindly placed their splendid mo-
tor boats at the service of the farm
girls and took all the lassies up the
river several miles to the Chilberg
farm. The girls were thoroughly de-
lighted with the trip and were loud in
their praises for the generosity of the

THE USE or THE SPLIT
LOG DRAG ON EARTH ROADS
CONTINUED from Page 81

ticles OF clay cohere SO tenaciously
that there is but little wear when the
surface is smooth Dust on an earth
road is due to the breaking up under
traffic of the frayed and upturned
edges of ruts and hoof prints. If the
surface is smoothed after each rain
and the road dries hard and even, no
edges are exposed to crushing and the
only dust which forms is that due to
actual wear of the road surface.
| There are so many influences at
work and conditions are SO varied in
different localities that it is quite i'm
possible to lay down a general rule for
the number of treatments needed to
keep road in good condition. A
tough clay or stiff sandy clay will
resist the action Of wheels and hoofs
for longer period than a loan, other
things being equal. Certain sections
of roadway will require more atten.
ton than others because of steep
grades, seepage, exposure to hillside
wash, etc. The best guide in meeting
these conditions is the knowledge and
experience gained while dragging the
roadway. .7@
There is one condition, however, in
which special treatment should be CIV
en- to road. Clay hills under per-
sistent dragging frequently become
too high in the center. To correct this
it is best to drag the earth toward the
center of the road twice and away
from it once.
In soils full of loose stones or even
small powders the drag has done good
service. The loose stones are drawn
into windrow down the center of the
road while the earth is deposited
around the powders in such a way
that the surface is leveled. The loose
stones in the center of the road should
of course be removed. Where there is
a large proportion of small stones or
gravel the drag will keep down the in
equalities in the surface.
Cost Data
There is little available data on the
cost of maintenance of earth roads by
dragging. However, there is no doubt
as to the economy of the drag, either
in first cost or in it's operation. The
most elaborate form will cost but
few dollars for material and labor,
while one man and team can operate it
successfully under all usual conditions.
AS a consequence, the statements CIV
en- below are well within reason and
indicate what may be accomplished
with very small outlay.
neighborhood of farmers in Ray
County, Mo-, employed one of their
number to drag a smile stretch. He
received compensation at the rate OF
SO per day. When the end of the year
came and settlement was made, the
cost for the year was found to be $1.66
per mile. The road is a tough clay
and my informant declares it was al
ways much better than the other roads
in the neighborhood. aa-
The following figures show the cost
of maintaining ordinary country roads
per mile per year without, a drag, and
may be taken as basis of the cost of
such maintenance. They were obtain
ed in Kansas by Prof. w. C. Hoad, of
the University of Kansas, in 1906, and
were taken from the official records of
the counties:

THE WOOD NYMPH" (Essanay)
A love romance with exceptionally
beautiful scenic effects are found in
Essanay's two reel photoplay, 1.-THE
Wood Nymph," written by Eleanor
Talbot Kinkead. One Of the features
Of the play is the dance of the wood
nymph at a garden party. This
dance is performed by Miss Ruth
Stonehouse, who plays that part
Miss Stonehouse was professional
dancer of rare talent before going in
to motion pictures, and has originate
ed several dances of great beauty. She
portrays this part with
exceptional skill. The scene in which
she appears to her sweetheart in the
woods, pinning a rose on him while
he sleeps, also makes a charming pic
ture. The attachment between this
girl, left alone in the world, and
great poet, is touching love story.
After many seemingly impossible
barriers are surmounted the couple
are united.

ANTI-NIGHT WORK LAW

Albany, N. Y.-The state court OF
appeals has upheld the women's anti
night work law, passed in 1913, and
which prohibits women working in
factories between the hours of 10 D. m.
and 6 a. m. A New York City print
ing establishment made a test case
after being found guilty in a lower
court of violating the law. The court
of appeals sustains the conviction, and
holds that night work in factories is
so detrimental to the health of women
that it ought to be prohibited for
their own sakes and in the interest of
the public welfare. 1t was also de-
clared that such work should be pre-
vented mot only to protect the health
of the women themselves, but to guard
against their becoming mothers of
deficient children"
In answer to the claim of appellant
company that night work, under prop
er conditions, would not be injurious
to women, the court replied that the
legislature is the proper place to make
changes in the law and that the court
of appeals can only consider the ques-
ton as to whether the legislature
has the right to pass law prohibit
ing women working nights.
To this question, the court gave an
affirmative answer.

Indian Folk Soma,

In Philadelphia, a short time ago, l
heard the first performance in Amer
lea of new composition by one of
great Italian, Busoni. 1t was played
by the composer and by the Philadel-
phia Symphony orchestra under the
baton of Leopold Stokowski, who de-
clared that this new work was posi-
bly, the most important step in musi-
cal development since Debussy first
began to break fresh paths in tonal
and harmonic relations. This COM
position, already played with great
success in Europe, is built entirely
upon American Indian melodies-not
imaginative inventions of the COM
poser, but genuine Indian songs, for
whose authenticity | can vouch, as l
myself wrote them down from the lips
of the Indians in the far West and
later gave them to Busoni at his re-
quest.-Natalie Curtis in the Southern

METHODS OF MANAGING MIND
Psychology and It's Effects Will Be
Found Well Worth Anyone's
Patient Study.

Despite the difficult look of the
word psychology is most interest
ing and intensely fascinating subject.
Briefly. it is the science which deals
with the Extraordinary effect of the
mind on the body, says London An
swers.
To make matters clearer, here is a
simple instance of ordinary psychology
ical effect. You are cycling, and come
to long, steep hill If you let your
eyes dwell on the hill and it's length a
feeling of depression and discourage
ment at once affects you. That is
communicated to the body which in
stantly tires and loses energy.
The hill, sight, mind, muscles
there's the psychological sequence.
But if you keep your eyes fixed on
the road just ahead and pedal on that
strange tired out" feeling doesn't
come. It's quite weird.
Soldiers, tired to the point of ex-
haustion, will revive and march with
energy if the band plays.
Why do we prefer a twisting road
for long walk in preference to one
which, if shorter, stretches out like
an endless ribbon straight in front of
US? To avoid the psychological de-
preston of spirits which the long,
straight road gives
Now you can see that study of
psychological effects is practical and
useful
An interesting example of being psy-
chologically "unsensed" is to be found
in the attitude of civilians living in
the fighting zone of northern France.
The effect on them has been such that
they have lost the danger sense"
They go about their ordinary occu-
pations apparently careless of shot or
shell. 1t is not bravery, nor is it res
ignation their attitude is a psy-
Geological one.
A commercial traveller has stated
that he always knew when the psy-
Geological moment had come for him
to snap the order he had been ang-
ling for. That is, he noted the swing
of the wavering mind, and booked his
order before his customer was bal
anced" again.
The best safeguard against being
psychOlogically affected is to maintain
your hold over your mind and to keep
your feeling in equilibrium. Manage
your mind and don't let it manage
you!
The best antidote to ordinary, ev-
eryday life psychological effects is to
have many interests in life-one main
one, and the rest side lines, as it were.
A busy mind keeps its equilibrium,
and where stern common sense reigns
psychological effects have no place.
The subject is worth studying, is it
not? Follow it up. This article
touches but the fringe.
