STATE GOING CRAZY?
=. NO NEED FOR ALARM
Rate of Insane Increasing Ma
tural Result Of Changing
Conditions

North Dakota is not going crazy
The state board of control finds nc
cause for immediate alarm. Perfect
sanity may still be expected from
73O out OF every ISL Flickertail folk,
which is much better showing than
New York state makes, with only
282 normal people out Of every 2S3
In other words, while one may rea-
sonably expect every 731st person he
meets in North Dakota to babble
about the pleasure of paying high
taxes, in the great Empire state every
283rd person is a candidate for the
straight jacket Whether New York
people naturally go crazy or crazy
people naturally go to New York, the
boards statistics do not reveal. The
board of control does know that
the rate of insaniy in North Dakota,
1876 per thousand, is one OF the lowest
revealed by any state in the Union.
Not only sound sense, but everyday
honesty and decency are found typi-
cal Of North Dakota by figures with
which the board members console
themselves whenever SUIllG uIllO"dl u
incident seems to indicate that the
good old state is going to the demni-
ion bow-wows. In 1914 North Dakota
boosted of only one criminal in every
3,349 people. The prosperity of the
last two years has been found trifle
too much for some honest people, as
the present ratio is one convict to
every 3,211 people.
Increase to Be Expected.
The board OF control. which natu.
rally makes study of such things,
finds both increases fully justified in
the experience Of other states. AS
people become more civilized. more
neighborly and more accustomed to
ease and luxury, statistics show, they
become more prone to 60 off on a tan
gent. Our pioneers had no time for
such extravagances as insanity, dis
honesty and crime; they were of a

Walter Runciman, president of the

slve interview with the United Press

not leave the Germans crushed in
poverty, unable to rise again. but
peaceful preparations as a means for
military end will not be tolerated
by the allies.

Wing at Eastern
Oregon Hospital
Nearly Completed
But FEW FIXTURES To BE Put
IN: GAN BE OCCUPIED ANY
TIME NOW.

The new wing of the Eastern ore
Ron state Hospital is now practically
completed and could be occupied at
any time, according to Supt W, u
McNary Due TO a slight delay in
shipment. the light fixtures are not
yet in place but their installation is
practically all that remains to do,
The state board or control yester-
day authorized the transfer Of 100
patients from the salem hospital to
relieve the congestion there but, ac-
cording to Supt. McNary, the trans
fer will probably not be made until
July l. The last Legislature made an
appropriation of $4,000 for the
transfer and maintenance OF 100 pa
tients in the new wing for the last
six months Of the year. Should they
be brought before JuSy l, the hospital
would not have adequate funds for
their maintenance.
The new wing is the very latest
word in hospital construction, being
superior even to the main building

COLLINS RETURNS
WITH FACTS ABOUT
COTTON GRAIN BAGS

After having investigated at first
hand the manufacture of cotton bags
at Memphis, Tenn, and other places,
H, w. Collins has returned to the
city with news the grain bag shortage
may be relieved by use or cotton bags
if such action becomes advisable.
Samples of the cotton bags were
brought home by Mr.. Collins and
other samples are expected by mail
today These will De shown to the
local farmers tomorrow and it is pos.
sible orders for the bags will be plac.
ed. If so action may be taken
through the Inland Graingrowers AS
sociation or by individual farmers.
The best cotton bag, and one suit
able for the expectation Of wheat,
will cost almost as much as the iute
bag The lighter bags are cheaper
in cost but there is some question as
to the advisability Of their use, though
it has been demonstrated they will
hold grain.
The advantage in the cotton bag
will be in certainty OF securing sup.
plies The jute bags are for sale
only on war proviso basis the con-
tracts allowing for cancellation at any
time. Hence there Is no certainty OF
securing bags if ordered. According
to Mr. Collins, he learned in Chicago
Of further line of action by the Brit
ish government toward restricting the
sale Of jute Bags The action is along
the line of limiting the number OF
bags TO be sold to any individual
