A Test Of the Honor svsten,.

The Newer Justice: Those who
have no faith in the honor system of
dealing with prisoners have need to
observe the result of the experiment
that was tried in North Carolina.
Governor Craig directed that all
"trusty'' prisoners in the penal in
situations of the state be allowed to
go home Christmas, on the pledge
that they would return after the
holiday More than $50 men were
thus released. Every one of them
returned as he had promised For
each there was the opportunity to
escape. but not one. of them violated
his trust.
1t was a most unusual demonstra-
ton of the fundamental fidelity in
human nature. Confidence begets
faithfulness; distrust produces trick
cry. That is the rule. There are
exceptions, but they only serve to
prove the rule. The normal man is
appreciative of kindness; il is only
the subnormal, sometimes mistaken
for the normal, who is ungrateful.
The exceptions are nearly always
accounted for by these mistakes.

PROJECT ON
GRANT FARM
Two Systems With Over 25
Miles of Tile Will Drain
500 Acres of Land

A tile drainage project for 500
acres of the E. u. Grant farm in
Glyndon township has been surveyed
by Engineer H. B. Roe of the State
University farm. Two complete sys-
TENS are embraced in the project
and 25 miles of tile varying in size
from 4 to 20 inches will be used.
The land is located on the west side
of the Buffalo river which will be
the outlet for the two drainage sys-
TENS.
Mr.. Grant has not decided wheth-
er the work will be begun this fall
or early in the spring; but he hopes
to have it completed before next
summer. His plans include the lay
ing out and developing of a model
farmstead. A farm dwelling. barns
and other buildings will be built and
the grounds Handicapped. This part
of the farm is south Of Watts sid
ing and is in the heart of the potato

WEED THE GARDEN.

The garden must be kept free from
weeds If the vegetables are to do
their best. In removing the weeds
use care not to hurt the roots of the
vegetables as they come quite near
the surface. One will commonly
think Of the fleshy part of the beets
and carrots as the root. It is only a
part Of it, The roots that feed the
plant are slender and threadlike and
extend out from the fieshy root.
These feeding roots come quite near

CLAY COUNTY BEAN
CROP IS PROMISING
Many Farmers Have Five and Ten
Acre Plots, Some as High
as 30 Acres,

Clay county has a very promis,.
ing bean crop this year. Owing to
the high price OF the beans many
farmers have planted tracts who
never raised them for sale before.
Five and ten acre plots are numer-
Gus and several farmers have as high
as 40. acres. Special machinery for
cultivation and harvesting beans Is
now available and, in measure,
accounts for the large acreage on
many of the farms.
