I'VE ought to have in this coun
try a great system of industrial
and vocational education, under
federal guidance, with federal aid
in which. a very large percentage
of the youth of this country will
be given skillful training in the
use and application of the princi-
pies of science in maneuver and
business, and. it will be perfectly
feasible and highly desirable to
add to that, and combine with it,
such training i'm the mechanism,
use ana care of arms: in the SAN
itation of the camp; in the simp-
Ter forms of maneuver and Or
ganization, as will make these
same men industrially efficient
and individually serviceable for
national defense.
what I am for-and what ev-
cry American ought to insist upon
is body of at least a half mil
lion trained citizens who will
serve under conditions Of DANCE:
as an Immediately available ma
tional reserve"

NORTH Observation-Disclosures

The standard of comparison for
farm efficiency is the amount
which a state produces for each
person engaged in farming. By
this test the American farmer ap-
pears to be from two to six times
as efficient as most of his COM
petitors. According to the records
of the North Dakota Development
League Press Bureau at Grand
Forks Forks, the North Dakota
Farmer appears to be at the head
of efficiency. being due in large
part that so very large percent
age of the lands can be readily
and easily worked.
The three states where the far
mers lead in the production of
crops are:
North Dakota s2,l29 for each
farmer.

I'VE can no longer be a pro-
vincial nation.
Let no man say if he would
speak the truth that the question
Of perfection of national defense
is a questio nof war or peace.
"There is something the Amer
lean people love better than they
love peace. They love the princi-
pies upon which their political
life is founded. They will at no
time cravenly avoid it. Because if
there is one thing that every ma
ton ought to fight for it is the in
tegrity Of it's own convictions. We
will not surrender our convic-
tions. l would rather surrender
territory than surrender those
ideals which are the staff of life
for the soul itself.
If we should go into Mexico,
do you know what would happen?
All the sympathy of the rest of
America would look across the
water and not northward to the
great Republic which we profess
to represent.
more than a year ago l said
this question of military prepar-
edness was not a pressing SUD-
ject. But more than year has
gone since then and I would be
ashamed if did not learn some
thing in IL months.
II don't know anything about
what is going TO happen when the
war is over, and neither CO you.
America never will be the ag-
gressor; America always will seek

which disturb the peace of the
world.
But America does not control
the circumstances of the world
and we must be ready to defend
the things we love against every
contingency which may affect OF

Nevada, $4,000 for each farmer
California, s1,736 for each far
mer.
And from this the list dwindles
down to New Mexico, where the
average farmer produces $3.50
worth of crops.
The crops of North Dakota
amounted to more per capita for
each citizen of the state than the
crops of any other state. There
was a per capita production last
year Of 1913 in North Dakota
South Dakota came next with
$2l5 per capita-$98 less than
North Dakota; then came Nebras-
ka, st65; Iowa, s141; Kansas, i27
Idaho, $iO5; and all others were
below 800. Rhode Island pro-
duced only 81 per capita and Mas
sachusetts 50.

Why not put the entire work of
public school teaching into the
government civil service?" asks
an ex-school teacher.
The idea is not new in the his
tory of public school systems
it is one of the features of Ger
man efficiency-but it is so new
in this country that it makes most
people gasp with surprise. Then,
when they catch their breath.
they say, 'Why Not?"
A letter from an ex-school
teacher condenses some of the
arguments for making teachers
federal employees.
Let the teachers all work for
Uncle Sam. That would weed out
the weak material and it would
bring every man and woman in
the profession up to the same re-
quirements of education and eff
ficiency.
1T would eliminate political
pull and preference from the en-
ployers in, the public school ser
vice.
''The teachers would be assured
of a place on the government pay
roll until removed for cause.
Civil service for teachers
would standardize salaries and
systematic all educational work.
Every approved idea or progress
sive method would have the gov
eminent itself behind it,"

WHEN YOU WISH TO soRnow

1T has been pointed out recent
ly that many men could borrow
more easily at a bank and at a
better rate of interest if they
would, be perfectly frank with the
banker. Borrowers are, just as
necessary to the banker as de-
positors. The banker could not
afford to take care of your money
paying it out as you may order by
check, if he could not lend that
part of it which remains from
day to day while you are not US
ing it. The fact that the banker
lends you money does not mean
that he is obliging you any more
than you are obliging him. He
has it to lend and, you pay him a
fair price for the use Of it for a
time. The transaction is mutual
lily helpful and it should be on a
strictly business basis. The bank
er has a right to assure himself
that you are responsible for the
amount you borrow, and that you
will be able to return it at the
proper time. For that reaon the
borrower should be perfectly free
i'm explaining his financial condi-
ton to the lender. There should
be no hesitation in giving state
ment of the amount of property
owned, the amount of debts, the
purpose for which the money is
to be used and any other infor-
nation which will help the BAN
ker to understand the financial
responsibility Of the borrower.
Uncomfortable bank relations re-
suit from the unwillingness Of
the borrower to give the informa-
ton necessary to enable the bank
ier to form an intelligent idea of
his financial condition.
When farmers wish TO be
knowIt-.a business MEN, they
should study and observe the
customs and practices of the bus
mess world, of which banking
forms an important part.

EDITORS PROPOSE a NUT.
UAl INSURANCE co

Among the many good things
done by the Editors in session at
Grand Forks last week was, a
proposal for a Mutual Insurance
Co., offered by Mr.. Crary as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Crazy presented his plan
for Publishers Mutual Fire In
surance. The association should
organize, Mr.. Crary said, for the
protection of newspaper plants
only. Later, if deemed advisable,
the company could broaden and
write fire insurance for others.
Mr.. Crazy pointed out that the
average newspaper is established
in a country town without ade !.
quate fire protection and is pay
ing out five per cent or at least
$50 on every $1,000 for protec-
ton. He spoke of the mutual com
Panies organized by the Imple-
ment Dealers and other associa-
;tions.
! He pointed out that there are
435 newspapers in the state, and
ne believed there should be or
gained mutual fire insurance
company. The larger papers
those published daily, should be
eliminated, he thought because
they would be too big a load for
the smaller weeklies to carry.
These 1876 papers, he estimated
are paying out from $4,000 to
S25, 900 in premiums for fire pro-
lection. There is not a year, he
said, that there is $4,000 paid
back to publishers for fire losses.
If 200 of the 435 newspapers
enter the organization and take
out $1,000 policy, the associa-
ton would have capital of 5000.
600 to begin with. If there was a
loss it would not cost each paper
over $3.50.
The plan met with instantan-
eous approval, and a number Of
the editors spoke in favor of it.
1t finally was decided that a
committee of five should be ap-
pointed to investigate the ques-
ton thoroughly with a view to-
ward organizing.

sets Forth ideas

In another letter to Mr.. kitchin
Monday he had set forth fully his
ideas of what a tariff commission
should be and urged that the ways
and means committee consider
the matter Immediately. He fav-
ored a wholly non-partisan ex-
pert organization.
II have changed my mind,'
said the letter, because all the
circumstances of the world hav.
changed and it seems to me in
view of the extraordinary and far
reaching changes which the Eur
opean war has brought about il
is absolutely necessary that we
should have a competent instru-
nent of inquiry along the whole

REASONS FOR TARIFF BOARD

President Wilson has sent a
letter to Chairman Kitchin of the
house ways and means commit
tee, explaining why he had with
drawn his opposition to a tariff
commission and now was urging
the creation of such a body by
Congress. He wrote frankly that
he had changed his mind because
"all the circumstances of the
world had changed"
Declaring that he had mo
thought whatever of a change in
attitude toward the so-called pro-
lection question:" the president
said the proposed commission
would have nothing to do with the
theories of policy, but would be
charged only with the duty of
seeking facts to guide congress in
legislation.

line of the many questions which
affect our foreign commerce.
Deal Only With Eaots

Il have had in this change Of
mind no thought whatever of q
change of attitude towards the
so-called protection question. A
commission such as l have sug-
gested would have nothing to do
with theories of policy. They
would deal only with facts and
the facts which they would seek
ought to be the actual facts Of
industry and of the conditions of
economic exchange prevailing in
the world SO that legislation of
every kind that touched these mat
tiers might be guided by the cir
cumstances disclosed in its in
nuirvn

There is quite an element of
the republican party which is not
satisfied with either McCumber or
Hanna as their candidate for the
U. S. Senate. They say strong
Progressive Republican and
PadCk Norton could come out in
the near future and defeat them
both at the primary and later
stand a better show of being elect
ed over John Burke. Whether
such a move will materialize or
not depends on how soon and in
what numbers the real progress
sive can get together. While
much Of this talk in a desolutory
way, is heard on the trains and in
public places, it is doubtful il
there is any concerted action along
these lines at present.

More than 5S,OOO,OOo animals
were slaughtered in the United
States under Federal inspection
During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1915. Over seven and a half
billion pounds of meat and meat
food products We're prepared .un-
der Federal inspection. The dan
ger from pork in products that
are customarily eaten without
cooking has been minimized by
the discovery of new method of
destroying trichinae. This con-
si>ts in storing the meat at a
temperature no higher than 5 de-
grces F. for a period of 20 days.
This is sufficient to destroy the
trichina parasites and renders ull
necessary the expensive and UNI
satisfactory miscropic inspection
which is still used in some coun-
tries.
