This life's middlin' crooked trail, and

OF knockin' round I m free to say the
right amt always clear.
I've seen lot of folks go wrong-get
off tn main high road
An fetch up in swamp somewhere,
almost before they knowed.

and wrong in men,
amt been perfect all my life an may
not be again. atG
An when see a chap who looks rs
though he's gone astray,
l want to think he started right, an
only lost his way.
like to think the good in folks by far
outweighs the i'll;
Tn trail of life is middlin' hard an lots
of it uphill;
There's places where there amt no
guides or signDosts up an so
It's partly guesswork and part luck
which way you chance to go.
I'VE seen the trails fork some myself,
an when ! had to choose
wasn't sure when struck out if it
was win or loose;
But l chose the guide board that
led 20 Crandall Bros. and found
them to be the most jolly and
clever fellows l have met for some
time. They set me right and sold
me some good things to eat.

TOO MUCH GOLD.

Now comes the National City Bank
of New York with q terrible warn
ing. This country has too much gold.
1t encourages people to so into debt.
Easy money induces folks to buy
stocks OF concerns which are making
phenomenal profit. The farmer is en-
couraged to buy more land. The
tendency is toward an era Of wild
speculation on the part Of people not
usually given to speculation.
There may be good deal Of wis.
dom in this banks warning, but we
would call its attention to some coun-
ter-irritants, as it were, to wild spec
ulation; namely, the prices Of butter,
eggs, meat, bread, clothes and fuel
all the things we have to have in Or
der to keep going at all. Most of US,
as we take. our weeks wages and
market basel ITO the market places
and run over the list, of prices, feel
like wild spectators, whether there's
too much gold in the country, or none.
It is so arranged that when money is
"easy" prices are tough. T,'-' .'''

WILSON ELECTED.

Another strenuous presidential
campaign has come to a close and,
for the first time in the history OF
the United States Democratic pres
ident has received consecutive
second term. .,,-
Political precedents have been
overturned A nation is widely divid'
ed upon vital issues at time which
is more critical than any since the
Civil war.
The crisis calls for the highest type
OF patriotism. President Wilson TO-
daN:eeases to be a candidate bidding
for votes and BECOMES ina fuller and
deeper- sense the President of the
United States. President of the Re-
publcans and OF the Democrats alike.
= No one can predict what four more
years OF Wilson will mean to this ma
ton. A strong, protesting minority
rolled. up a large popular vote for
Charles Evans Hughes, which should
have the effect Of tempering the Dem.
ocratic policies during the next four
years.
The nation must from now on pre-
sent a solidly united front where its
interests are at stake. In foreign af-
fairs, President Wilson will receive
the hearty support Of all loyal Amer.
leans. The spirit Of Decatur is still the
spirit Of the nation. While the Re-
publicans firmly believe that the cleo.
ton OF Hughes would have meant
more vigorous domestic policy and a
firmer administration of foreign af-
fairs, they place patriotism above
party consideration.
Wilson will receive the support all
' presidents are entitled to in the treat
ment of foreign affairs. Republicans
will continue to disagree with him
on political issues, but where nation
al honor is at stake, he will receive
the same undivided support given to
every president by all parties since
the foundation of the Republic.
Republican leaders will make a
searching investigation to detect
fraud or tampering with returns.
Doubtless recounts will be held in
several states where the vote is close.
So much is at stake that the election
Of Wilson on the face of the returns
will not be conceded by party man.
ayers until thorough investigation
is made.
An attempt may be made to go
back of the official count, as in the
case Of the Hayes-Tilden fight.
At any rate, the Hughes hackers,
with the election as close as it is,
will not give up the ghost without a
searching canvass of all state re-
turns. ;&
Republican leaders in this state be.
lieve certain irregularities existed in
the handling of the ballots.
But only an investigation can prove
or disproye any of these post-e.ection
charges.

STATE TREASURER
SWAMPED WITH MONEY

The state treasurers Office for the
last week has been literally swamped
with checks and money orders repre-
senting the annual interest payments
on state farm loans. Not only are cur
rent payments being made promptly
and in full. but many delinquents are
making up arrearages. and the treas
users Office has been able to do little
more than take care of this golden
flood and see that it is properly accred-
tied to the state auditor The checks
range in amounts from $25 to $3.50. If
the farmers of North Dakota are suf-
fering from the 1916 crop, it is pie
thora of ready cash rather than any
other malady which is affecting them.

THRIFT.

The average total family income.
including women and children, is be.
tween 500 and $500 a year in the
United States, according to statistics
given out by the American Society
For Thrift. Between 1900 and 1914
the average increase in the retail
prices Of food was about 60 per cent.
while wages increased little less
than 80 per cent. No matter what
may be the cause OF this condition.
the moral is plain: The average
American of the future must be thrift
ty
Our population is increasing at the
rate of 4,433 day. Statisticians esti-
mate that within few years this in.
crease will reach 10000 day. There
will then be even greater cause for
thrift.
A movement is on foot in the Ma.
tional Education association, the Off.
cial organization of school teachers Of
America, for devising plans Of teach.
ing thrift in our schools. This means
beginning at the foundation, points
out the American Society For Thrift,
and the results on the happiness,
prosperity and security of the future
American will be beyond comprehen.
sion.
There are over 100000 workers in
America. If each worker began now
to save a. dime day the aggregate
Accommodations would reach $1,465,75O,.
976 year, or if each saved dime a
week the total would be 20S,Sl9,317.
The saving Of dime month by
each worker would amount to $4S,-
lS9,O93, and only dime year would
mean $4,0l5,750. American Society
For Thrift statistics show that IS per
cent Of men are dependent upon their
daily earnings, or on others, for sup.
port at the age Of 50, and that not
one man who retires with compe-
tency is able to retain that competen.
cy to the close Of life. These are
things for the patriotic American to
think about. This is nation OF
manifest destiny, but there are evil
days ahead unless our people begin
at once the practices Of thrift.
