The custom Of indexing books devel-

particular passages, $50 that he who
only aimed at the useful might be

self. Alphabetical arrangement, which
was the beginning of the real index,
appears not to have been thought of
until the invention Of printing, and
even then it spread but slowly. Eras-
mus was one Of the first to provide his
works with alphabetical indexes. The
custom did not become universal until
well into the sixteenth century.
The first index to an English book Is
said to be that printed in Polydore
Vergil's "Angliae Historiae" in 1916.
An edition of this work published ten
years later has an index of thirty-scven
pages.

WITH TRADE BOARD

Washington, D. C.-President Will

the federal trade commission and then

paid by the government for war ma
terials the commission is Investigate
ing production costs of coal, coke,

Somewhat Similar In the Tenth Cen.
fury to What They Arc Today.
That there were objections in the 80.
cial amenities Of life in the tenth cen.
fury similar to those observable at the
present day Is shown in a remarkable
book. "Makura no Zoshi," which was
the work of. Sci Shongon, a poetess Of
the ancient japanese court. One of her
chapters she devotes to "Detestable
Things" and these included:
"A visitor who sits down to regale
you with a long tale when you are in a
hurry. If by chance he is an intimate
friend you can pack him of until an
other time. But those whom you can
not summarily dismiss are detestable
indeed.
Babies who cry or dogs that bark
just when you are trying to overhear
something.
"A dog that barks at visitors. l have

people who interrupt your story to
show off their own .c~leverness. All in

MONEY FOR

LNattoaai Crop improvement ServIce.]
Many Of our farmers will not have
money enough to put in a maximum
crop. This should not be the case. OF
course, during this war excitement 1t
is pretty hard to get onyene to do any.
thing but run around in circles. but
the greatest business problem We
have Is to finance our farmers so that
they can get the maximum results for
themselves and for our COMMUNITY.
We believe that if the banks will ask
young farmers and tenants who have
not established their credit, to make
a statement regarding what they want
to do with the money, that they will
take very little risk in advancing
whatever money any farmer will in
diligently use this year. ,
It is true that the federal reserve
banks will 're-discount farmers paper,
but they do it entirely on the credit
of the bank asking for the r~e.discount.
We believe that our business men
would be very glad to pro-rate any
loss that any bank would make in ex-
tending loans to any farmer who
wants to increase the production Of
his farm even though his land may be
mortgaged all that it can stand.
Especially in those counties where
county agents can advise and O. X.
the project, bankers should have
no hesitancy in furnishing whatever
money may be required. There is very
little risk because the world is short
OF food and everything will be high
for this year and probably several
years to come.

Louis Hahn, who had been for the
past five weeks at Lander, Wyo., re-
turned on Tuesday morning to get
mis- business matters Strengthened up
as his number is among the first three
hundred in the selective draft: He -
eager TO get into the service, and
rather hopes that his number will be
among those for the first call. He
states that out in Lander he met
another of Dickinson's former resi-
dents, R. A. Blair, who this week was
to become foreman of a large ranch
in that vicinity. MI. Blair was out
at the Curric & Alcott farm close to
Dickinson for several years.
Engineer Archie Dingman has ar
ranged to take the Northern Pacific
electric pumping station at the reser-
voir southwest Of the city. 1t is
many months since Mr.. Dingman did
any railroad work and for a long time
it was not expected that he would
eve be able to do any more labor.
This vas the advice received not only
at Dickinson and from the railroad
hospital at Glendive, but from the
Mayos at Rochester, However, for
some time now Mr.. Dingman has
been gaining and all believe now that
he is going to fool the doctors this
time. This is good news to Engineer
Dingman's many friends not only in
Dickinson but all along the N. P.
line from Mandan TO Glendive. If he
continues to improve as he is doing at
present it is not at all unlikely that
he will again be running his engine
after a few months.
The Geo. Mawhinney home in the
eastern part of the city was the

Mrs. w. A. Shaw and R. j. List Of
Scranton and also their visitors, Mr..
Shaw's sister, Mrs. C. J.. Harding and
little daughter, Orabelle, of Tacoma,
Wash. Mrs. Cargo and daughter
spent the past winter in California,
coming here from Williston to see
the Mawhinneys and their other rela-
tives: They left again for Williston
or Monday, accompanied by the other
Williston folks and Mrs. Harding
and daughter. From that point Mrs.
Cargo and daughter will continue
their way east and Mrs. Harding and
daughter will leave for their home in
the west.

~TIPPYCANOE.
BY C. r. Met Gary
of the Machine Gun Co.

Something is a calling me,
Away down deep and low;
It's the call that called my fathers
To their arrows and their bow.
Twas the same old call that's calling
; For every man that's true,
That is calling me out yonder
For my old. ~Tippycanoe.
Some times my heart goes aroaming
Where the old Maumee flows,
But tonight my heart is longing
For the dearest girl I know,
Some times my heart goes roaming
On the old Sandusky too,
But tonight my hearts back yonder,
On my old Tippycanoe.
For it's there my maid is waiting,
Where the golden river flows,
And she'll be there forever waiting,
For all this warrior knows.
Tomorrow I go to battle
To fight for her and you.
Yes, it's for her I'm fighting
And my old T%ippycanoe.
I'm fighting for her birthright.
That was my forefathers' ken,
And I'm fighting for my freedom
To stand among all men;
I'm fighting for the liberties,
That my old forefathers knew,
That in peace I may live and die there
On my old Tippycanoe.
It's there my maid is hoping
For her soldiers safe return;
It's there my maid is waiting,
And for her my heart does year.
Should I fall in the battle
/ That Pm fighting for her and you
Then, in peace let me sleep forever,
On my old Tippycanoe.
CHORUS.
My. old boat may be leaking,
And she may be tippy too,
But what on earth do we fear,
When it's for old Tippycanoe?
