COST OF INSANE IS 100000

Bismarck, April 13.-North Dakota
is expanding $50,705.19 every three
months for the care of it's insane in
the state hospital at jamestown. The
state at large pays $5,O35 OF this total,
while the remainder is apportioned
among the several counties, according
to the number Of patients they have
committed.
Cass county, with the largest popu-
lation, has the greatest number of in
sane, and will pay $3,2S7 for the last
quarter. Grand Forks ranks second,
with an assessment of $3,O59. The an,
portionmept now is being made, and
bills for the amount due will be mailed
to the several counties by the state
auditor this week.
The state auditor left at noon for
Golden Valley county which is engag-
ed in dispute with Billings as TO the
number of patients committed before
the division took place from that Sec
ton of Billings county which now is
included in Golden Valley. Golden
Valley county insists that Billings col
onized all its insane in the western
part of the county when it found div.
sion inevitable, and the new county
objects to paying for a number Of pa
tents, for whom costs aggregating
$1,000 have been assessed. It is the
duty of the state auditor to straighten

it is very important that every foot

should not be vacant lot in town

list it with c. A. label, where those

KEEP AT 1T


You're sick of the game? Well, now,
that's shame,
You're young and you're brave and
you're bright.
You've had a raw deal? l know. but
don't squeal,
Buck up, do your darndest, and
fight.
It's the plugging away that will win
you the day,
So don't be a piker,. old pard!
Just draw on your grit; it's so easy to
quit;
It's keeping your chin up that's
hard.
It's easy to cry that you're beaten
and die;
It's easy to crawish and crawl;
But to fight, and to fight when, hopes
out Of sight,
Why that's the best game of them
all.
And though you come out of each
gruelling bout,
All broken, and beaten, and SCARED,
Just have one more try-Its dead easy
to die,
It's keeping-on-iiving that's hard.

TEST YOUR SEED GRAIN

All seed grain should be tested this
year. This is imperative. Last year
was unfavorable, and developed much
shrunken grain. You are half beaten
before you start if your seed isn't
strong. Sowing double the amount of
weak seed is not satisfactory, even
if one could stand the expense. Strong,
heavy stands come from strong seed.
A fair stand of grain with inferior
seed is possible, if every condition
was favorable, but if the weather calls
the turn-thousands of acres have to
be replanted every year where husky
seed would probably have won out.
A very excellent but simple way of
testing seed grain is recommended by
the North Dakota development league
press bureau at Grand Forks. Take
sample Or two from each sack of seed,
mark 100 little squares in the center
portion of an ordinary white blotter,
come, large, small and otherwise, on
the squares, fold over the two ends of
squares, fold over the two ends of
blotter, placing wet cloth wick be.
tween the folds, so that about six or
eight inches hangs over the edge, wrap
! in piece of oiled or buttered paper,
place On box with wick in glass of
water, and let it alone for five Or six
days, watching it occasionally to make
sure that the wick is working all
right and that the test does not dry
out. At the end of that time, count
the number of strong, weak and dead
kernels. Any seed testing less than
go to IS per cent should be discarded.
If the seed has plenty of plant food
in the kernels, the sprouts will grow
four to six inches high if you open up
the tester, but leave the wick in so
that the plant roots will not dry out.
! This is good extension of test when
time is available.

THE SPRING

Walt Mason. How glad I'll be to
hear once more the south wind paving
at the door! I'll surely welcome it
with smiles, that good old wind from
spicy isles that makes the brown old
world turn green, and looA as gay as
sweet sixteen. If wintry blasts would
rave and shrek, each year, for some.
thing like week-if that's too much,
few days less-the winter'd be a
great success. Alas, it comes and
stays too long! Too long it stills the
catbird's song, too long it keeps the
elm tree bare, their naked branches
in the air; too long it puts the lid on
grass, geraniums and the garden sass.
And I'll be glad to hear once more
warm rains that breaks old winters
grip, and bids him from these realms
to skip, the rain that ends long
months Of woe, and makes the blessed
green things grow. So come, south
wind, from sunny seas, and bring the
leaves back to the trees. And come,
warm rain, and wash away, all traces
of the winter day.

"AMERICA'
Oh, mother of a mighty race,
Yet lovely in thy youthful grace!
The elder DANES thy naughty peers,
Admire and hate thy blooming years.
With words of shame
And taunts of scorn they join thy
name.
For on thy cheek the glow is spread
That tints thy morning hills with
red;
The step-the wild deer's rustling
feet;
Within the woods are not more fleet;
Thy hopeful eye
Is bright as thine own sunny sky.
There's freedom at thy gates and
rest,
For Earth's down-trodden and op-
prest,
A shelter for the haunted head,
For the starved Iaborer toll and
Power, at thy bounds,
Stops and calls back his baffled
hounds. r
Oh, fair young mother! On thy brow
Shall sit a nobler grace than now.
Deep in the brightness of the skies
The thronging years in glory rise,
And, as they feet,
Drop strength and riches at they feet.
Thine eye, with every coming hour,
Shall brighten, and thy form shall
tower;
And when thy sisters, elder born,
Would brand thy name with words of
ScOrn
Before thine eye,
Upon their lips the taunt shall die.
