Music While You Work.

A dry-cleanlng establishment In
Cincinnati has come TO the conclusion
that If its employees hear music at
frequent intervals while they work
1t will not only make them happier,
more contented and better workers,
but that they will accomplish more
than if they were without it.
Working upon this theory, there
have been installed throughout the
big establishment enough monographs
to keep lively music playing most OF
the day.
The records are selected with care,
lest a funeral selection, a dreamy waltz
or a sextet from Lucia" should
creep in. There are many lively
dance records and popular songs. The
workers hum and sing to the lively
music, and the speed of the music
puts the speed into their work.

AUTHOR WRONG IN HIS FACTS
Pictured Civil War Soldier Dying to

Tune.

There is an infinitely touching story

on Soldiers and Their Songs" 1t re-
lates how a federal soldier during the
American Civil war lay dying in a
hospital and wished again to hear the
national song. They sang him several
recognized national airs, but none
would satisfy him till someone struck
up "A Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" The dear boy" continues the
author, wounded to death, smiled his
content and, turning his face to the
wall, died happy"
We hate to shatter Mr.. Grubb's IL

HEMP-STALK FRAGMENTS

Investigators for the Department OF

which differs but little from that
used in making pulp from poplar

OUR ATTITUDE

The Times-Record deplores a news
paper racket. There is only one thing
that will bring us into them, and that
is personal abuse. We reserve the
right. to review the actions Of any pub
lie body, whether it be the congress
of the United States or the Valley City
council. If our contemporaries will
give us ordinary newspaper courtesy
we will not be the first to break the
rule. When torpedoed by personal
abuse we will retaliate. Any publisher
with red corpuscles would do the same.
We are not asking for apologies, nor
do we think we owe any. If our con-
temporaries believe their course is
right it is up to them to determine
how far to go. Frankly, we admit it
is not nice kind of party. The music
gets discordant. However, we believe
in preparedness, and when attacked in
violation of international law, will de-
fend ourselves. Finally, we are for
peace, but not for peace at any price

MEASURE UP YOUR BANkE

Mayville Tribune-Farmer: Did 1t
ever occur to you that the agitator's
favorite weapon, big business and
bankers, was being overworked. Has
it ever happened that you have
weighed your own banker and failed to
find him one of the banker gang"
Has it ever penetrated your mind that
perhaps after all this "big business"
and bad bankers agitation is politi-
cal dope for suckers. The Tribune
Farmer does not care snap who may
be hit by the expression, but we must
say that we regret "the existence of
many" in this community who will con
denim the board of regents without Civ.

lieve he is Influenced by "big bust

he is a "banker.' Some of those who

dishonest bankers as there are in all

other state institution and then de-
eide intelligently if the board of re-
gents are not within the confines of
their duty in accepting his resignation.
This anti-banker agitation is growing
exceedingly tiresome. May we not
be given credit for at least a little
common sense. In nearly every bank
in the state farmers are holding a
large per cent of the stock and in near
ly every instance have access to the
affairs of the institution and the claim
that the bankers are unfriendly to the
farmer is. so silly and unwarranted
that it is mystery how farmers can
be so mislead.

DIRTY JIM

LIN JIM
There was one little Jim,
IT'S reported of him,
And must be to his lasting disgrace
That he never was seen
With hands at all clean,
Nor yet ever clean was his face.
His friends were much hurt
To see so much dirt,
And often they made him quite
clean;
But all was in vain,
He got dirty again,
And not at all fit to be seen.
It gave him no pain
To hear them complain,
Nor his own dirty clothes to survey
His indolent mind
No pleasure could find
In tidy and wholesome array.
The idle and bad,
Like this little lad,
Mey love dirty ways to be sure;
But good boys are seen,
To be decent and clean,
Although they are ever so poor.

THE SOUL OF THE COUNTRY
DAILY

Our papers, our little country pa
pers, seem drab and miserably pro-
vincial to strangers; yet we who read
them, read in their lines the sweet
intimate story of life, says w. A.
White in Harper's Magazine for May.
And all of these touches of nature
make us wondrous kind. 1t is the
country daily, bringing together daily
the threads of the towns life, weaving
them into something rich and strange,
and setting the pattern as it Weaves,
directing the loom, and giving the
cloth it's color by mixing the lives OF
all the people in it's color-pot-it is
this country daily that reveals us to
ourselves, that keeps our country
hearts quick and our country minds
open and our country faith strong.
When the girl at the glove-counter
marries the boy in the wholesale
house, the news of the wedding is
good for 4O-line wedding notice and
the 40 lines give them self-respect.
When in due course we know that
their baby is 12-pounder, named
Grover or Theodore or Woodrow, we
have that neighborly feeling that
breeds the real democracy. When we
read of death in that home we can
mourn with them that mourn. When
we see them moving upward in the
world, into farm, and out toward the
country club neighborhood, we rejoice
with them that rejoice. Therefore,
men and brethren, when you are rid
ing through this ale of tears upon the
California Limited, and by chance pick
up the little country daily; when you
see it's array of countryside items; it's
intermingle local stories; it's tiresome
editorials on the waterWorks, the
schools, the street railroad, the crops
and the city printing, don't throw
down the contemplate little rag with
the verdict that there is nothing in it.
But know this, and know it well: if
you could take the clay from your eyes
and read tn the little paper as it is writ
ten, you would find all of Gods beauti-
full Borrowing, struggling, aspiring
world in it, and what you saw would
maye you touch the little paper with
reverent hands.

SWEET CLOVER SEED
PRODUCTION is EASY

(By ]. G. Haney, I. H. c. Farms
Grand Forks.)
Sweet clover seed is now quoted in
nearly every seed catalog. Five years
ago it could not be bought except in
small packages, as only few bee men
even seeded it. Now it is handled by
the carload. The seed has sold in
large quantities at 80 to IS cents per
pound, and 900 pounds per acre in
humid section is not an unusual yield.
There would be a good profit in the
unhulled seed at ten cents per pound
Where the soil and climate admit
of the sweet clover growing so large
that it can not be cut easily with a
grain binder, it should be clipped back,
or cut for hay, and the second crop
allowed to seed. The cutting bach
will make very little difference in the
time of seed maturing.
Ten acres of seed harvested this
year on the l. H. C. farm at Grand
Forks was handled as follows: Ten
pounds of hulled seed were sown per
acre with Marquis wheat in April
1914. The wheat yielded 20 bushels
per acre, and a good stand of clover
was secured. This was cut for hay
June Is, 1915. The latter part of Sep
TENDER heavy seed crop was cut with
the grain binder, with very little more
trouble than heavy crop of grain
The only extra precaution was the adj
dition of a long divider on the grain
board to separate the interlocked clio.

port, making a satisfactory divider.
The bundles were let fall from the
machine; as they would often hang
together if bundle carrier was used.
The bundles were not shocked, but
left just as the binder dropped them
until dry enough to thresh.
The threshing was done with an or
binary grain thresher, with full con-
cave, and riddles set for flax. The
seed is very easily knocked off the
stems, but not more than ten to 20
per cent was hulled by this method of
threshing. The seed is put through a
tanning mill to. remove broken up
stems and other trosh before it is
ready to seed.
The ten acres were cut in one day
with one binder, and threshed in one
day with three bundle wagons and one
man in the field to help load. One
man and team took care Of the seed,
one man tended the separator, and

Pray, did she escape from the thrall
Escape from the years saddest

Twas useless to measure the flow:
Perhaps in her glory and glow
She made of the tyrant mock.
In vain do we curious grow,
But where is the grandmother's clock
Or did she like womenfolk all
Sweep, mother and bake, scrub and

To reckon the minutes would gall
Was this then the sum of her woe
A task when the SUN would set low
A task at the crow of the cock?
The pendulum swings to and fro,
But where is the grandmother's clock
Time, answer from the pail
And kindly the riddle unlock;
The grandfather stands by the wall,
But where is the grandmother
