It will be noticed that of the states
included South Dakota is the only one
with smaller per capita cost of state
government than North Dakota. While
in North Dakota the per capita cost
was found to be $3.50; that of Arizona
was $7.O8; that Of Montana $40; that
Of Minnesota $6.42; that of Nevada
1892; that of New York $7.44; that
of Oregon $7.04, clearly indicating
that the charge of extravaganza
against the state government Of North
Dakota is unfounded. On the other
hand, all available statistics indicate
that the state government Of North
Dakota is being administered in q
most economic manner, and that the
cost to each citizen Of the state for
his state government is among the
lowest in the union. On the other
hand our state educational institu.
tons, our public schools, our charit-
able and penal institutions, and the
various branches Of the state govern.
ment, executive, legislative and judi.
cial are among the most efficient in
the country, ranking very high.

CHEERING SOMEONE ON

Don't you mind about the triumphs,
Don't you worry after fame;
Don't you grieve about succeeding,
Let the future guard your name.
All the best in life's the simplest,
Love will last when wealth is gone;
Just be glad that you are living,
And keep cheering someone on.
Let your neighbors have the blossoms,
Let your comrades wear the crown;
Never mind the little set-backs
Nor the blows that knock you down.
You'll be glad when they're forgotten,
You'll be glad with youth and dawn,
If you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering someone on. g.
There's a lot Of sorrow round you,
Lots of lonesomeness and tears;
Lots Of heartache and of worry
Through the shadows of the years.
and the world needs more than tri
umphs; ..a..'tt
More than all the swords we've drawn
It is hungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering others on.
Let the wind around you whistle,
And the storms around you play;
You'll be here with Drawn and gristle
When the conquerors decay.
You'll be here in memories sweetened
In the souls you've saved from pawn
II you put aside the victories
And keep cheering someone on.

American athletes have again shown

countries at the Invitation Of Sweden.
With only five men on the team, four

EFFICIENT FORCE IS NEEDED
Roads Should DO Looked After at All
Seasons Of Year and Kept In
Constant Repair.

Under our present system Of county
pike maintenance, roads have been
receiving a quantity Of crushed stone
on their most-traveled and wOrn-out
sections. This Is usually applied
after a grading and scraping OF the
surface to fill the ruts. This grad
ing is a semIannual affair. The first
grading Is done in the early spring
just us the roads are thoroughly
thawed and beginning to dry after the
heaviest Of the winter freezes are
safely over. Previous to this grading
they often become long lines Of slushy
mud almost impossible to the heavier
loaded wagons. In such a condition
they are easily rutted and hard to
mend. It is the sort Of impermanent
roads that have given rise to the ap-
peal for a permanent hard surfaced
road not so easily affected by the
freeze and thaws. We find crushed
stone superior to the older type OF
gravel roads in many respects since
1t holds its shape and body longer,
says Indiana Farmer. Yet crushed
stone roads and ever surfaced macad.
ans and concrete or asphalt surfaced
roads need attention after the first

the mangcls and turnips may be fed
In such q way that much OF their
value Il lost, says n writer In an ex-
change. Roots net as ~appetizers and
bowel regulators rather than as actual
milk producers; hence they should be.
fed with care. They N largely com
posed Of water, and therefore they use
nm the heat OF the body. For this rea-
sou In extreme cold weather We cut
down the usual quantity Of roots fed.
and on severely cold days We even
sSip the roots altogether, feeding some
thing else having less water content.
Roots should not be taken from
the storage pits or cellars. where the
temperature is not far from the
freezing point, and fed Immediately. A
better way is to bring them into q
heated o for Il to "a hours, after
which they may be cut and given to
the live stock. We like to bring the
roots into a warm room In the morn
inx, leaving them until the next morn

that are giving milk should eat the

CUTTING HAIRS FROM upDER
From Sanitary Standpoint and Com
fort to Cow While Being MIXED,
Filaments Are Detrimental.

It Is not at all uncommon among
dairy cows to find the udder covered
with a thick growth of long hair, which
may be of some protection to the udder
in some respects, but from a sanitary
standpoint and a comfort to the cow
while she is being MIXED, these hairs
are detrimental. Under the usual farm
conditions this growth Of hair is COM
monty covered. with filth, and even In
well-kept diaries this hair, unless kept
well clipped, will collect more or less
dirt and trash.
In many cases. too, these hairs will
persist in falling into the milk pail.
To prevent occurrences such as these
the udder should be clipped closely at
least twice each year, and in this way
prevent the accumulation of filth.
