INTERESTING NEWS OF STATE

Readers.

Bismarck.-State Engineer Bliss is
sending letters to all organizations in
terested in good roads, offering the as
surance of his department. Accom-
panying this letter is copy of the
governors recent good roads proclaim
action and other literature of interest to
those who are anxious to improve the
conditions in North Dakota.
1t is estimated that North Dakota
farmers lose nearly one million dollars
a year through poor roads. Very few
farmers however, realize just what the
loss is on a load of wheat which they
are compelled to haul over a poor
road.
Bliss hopes to be able to arouse
the farmers to the need of better roads.
A big good roads meeting was held at
Hettinger, at which number of ex-
perts discussed what was best to be
done for North Dakota roads.

TO OPPOSE FARMERS LEAGUE
Dakotans Meet in Fargo to Form Good
Government League.

Fargo.-Organizatio of the North
Dakota Good Government league has
been perfected at meeting held in

rotary of the association. It is ex-
pected that the movement will spread
to all parts of the state with similar
associations being launched in other
counties.
That the substantial farmers and
business men of North Dakota are
not ready to turn over to the Nom
partisan league, the affairs of North
Dakota, is the declaration that accom-
panies the announcement Of the form
alton of the new association.
The encouragement Of the pros
pect for success of any movement
similar to that propagated by the
Non-partisan league is the chief OBJ
ject of the new association and in
furtherance of that plan, campaign
of publicity will be undertaken.

COOLEST AIR OVER EQUATOR
Scientist Discovers interesting Fact
AZ Result Of Experiments In
Upper Air.

Winds blow not merely along the
surface of the earth but upward and
downward throughout the atmosphere.
They whirl about in all directions. So
it is impossible to construct weather
chart that will really show the direc-
tions of the winds, for such chart
would have to be in three dimensions.
Prof. Alexander McAdie of Harvard,
in an article to the Geographical Re-
view, describes some of the recent ex-
periments in the upper air performed
by sounding balloons. The atmosphere
has, roughly, two layers. the lower
called the troposphere and the upper
the stratosphere. The strongest winds
are found just below the stratosphere.
and it would seem that pressure
changes originate in this region.
The Shakespeare is highest over the
equator and lowest over the poles. AT
the equator" says Professor McAdie.
''as we rise in the air the temperature
continues to fall to much greater
height than in temperate ATTITUDES. In
deed, the lowest temperature is found
above the equator"

Line Turns in Fire Alarm.


Albert Brewer, eighteen, of Reilly
avenue, went fishing few days ago
at Ivory Slough. The fish did not bite,
co Brewer shouldered his pole and
started for home.
At Marceau and Reilly avenues he
passed a fire alarm box. The door
was open. The line caught the hook.
1t was the first bite Brewer had all
day. The line jerked the hook down
with such force that an alarm was
sounded.
Brewer heard the Jingle Of the alarm
and ran home. The police arrested him
ten minutes later and charged him
with turning in false alarm.-St.

bluejay's trick entitled the bird to all
the honors that have been heaped up
on the species.
