Potato Storage In North Dakota

\ bulletin entitled "Farm po-
tato Storgar in North Dakota" has
just been issued by the Agricu!-
tural Extension Department of the
North Dakota Agricultural Col
lcgr. Ii describes the building of
potato cellars and pits that cam be
made cheaply. There may be
greater need of such storage this
fall than usual. Ii may be diff
cult TO secure ears just when they
are needed and if the digging is
delayed on account of cars not be-
ing available there will BE- danger
of the potatoes freezing in the
field. Then again the towns have
often times taken up the local sup
ply of potatoes but this year near
ly everybody in town has raised
enough potatoes for their own us,
so that the farmer will either have
TO store or ship his surplus potato.
rs. A potato cellar or pit on the
farm will also cut out the time tina.
ii would take TO haul the potatoes
to town.

LEPRosYs REPORTED CURE.

Before there was history there was leprosy. Egyptian tombs yield in- scriptions showing that the disease was at work forty centuries before Christ. There are records of its ravages in the Nile region in 1900 B. c. In the middle ages the principal towns of France, England. Germany, Spain and other European countries had their leper- houses. Holbein painted in 1516 A. D. his terrible pie ture of St. Elizabeth giving aid to a group of lepers.
 Suddenly and in a way mysteriously, leprosy faded out of the greater part of Europe. Today 1t is in Spain, Por- tugal, Norway, Iceland, Southern Russia, some Baltic districts and part of the Mediterranean region. Chiefly it is conspicuous through Asia and Africa. But it has been carried into Australia and Hawaii by the Chinese, and it's Hawaiian gains, de- spite the establishment of the isola- ton colony at Molokai, have been pro- nounced. In the United States there were eleven deaths from leprosy in 1916.
 These facts are pertinent to the al if,, hot lz ippines has discovered a cure for it, and the news that he has discharged twenty three patients made we'll. Ex- perts in America regard these tidings with hopeful interest, reserving posi- tive opinions until the arrival of clearer details as to the treatment As to chaulmoogra oil, the essence derived from an Indian plum tree and used by Dr. Mercade, it is not new in the treatment of leprosy, but has been regarded rather as a relief than as remedy.
 Notification of the claim from the Philippines will set forth a triumph for human helpfulness in glad con- trast to the examples in destruction presented in warning Europe And to one of earth's newest nations it will be peculiarly gratifying to find that one of it's proteges has conquered what Is perhaps earth's oldest disease

American citizen no matter where he was born, knows what he owes his country at this crisis"
 Perhaps as practical an evidence as has been given of the loyal inten- tions of the German Americans was the offer of the Hoboken Independent Scheutzen Corps to teach the 1,500 boys in the Hoboken schools cadet corps how to shoot-the older organ ization to pay all the expenses.
 The New York Staats- Zeiung. founded by the late Hermann Rid der and now edited by his son, though always one of the most outstanding champions of Germany in this war, announced on the front page its un- qualified assurances of loyalty 10 the United States in the event of war. native born Americans. if war came. to enlist in equal proportion with the UT lo tlt American flag as far into the "ene- my's" trenches.
 The dilemma of the spirit in which the German Americans find them- selves at such q crisis, and the fine resolution of the best of them. is re- flected in the words of the German Omaha Tribune, when it says:
 "The break with our old fatherland is at hand but our duty and our allegiance belong to America, first, last, and all the time. This duty we must perform and will perform above all considerations regardless of what the future may have in store for us" Worlds Work.

THOSE $1o,ooo JOBS.

Complacency firmly seated in the big railroad offices of the country continues to wonder why 1t is. with so many $l0.000 men are found to fill them. For a good many years past an effort has been made to train college graduates for high positions. but recent speakers and writers have agreed that in most cases the experi- mnt has been a failure.
 Perhaps one cause of the trouble may appear in the fact that the man. aging men of tn railroads do not now know their working forces as inti- mately as their predecessors did. A generation ago there were railroad executives who had thousands of per sonal acquaintances among employees from one end of their line to the other. They came in close contact with all the problems of operation, and men who by reason of loyalty, ambition or special fitness deserved recognition did not long escape their practised eyes.
 Most of the distinguished managers of railroads now in service got their first chance fin some such way as this, and If they will harl back to the old days they will readily admit that they would not be where they now are if that chance had not been presented to them. Can there be a doubt that thre are deserving men at this time who need nothing but recognition and

THE LOYALY OF GERMAN AM
 lCANS.

Immediately after President Wilson announced the break in relations with Germany, MT. Henry Morgenthau, ex- ambassador to Turkey, himself born in Austria, remarked: "I believe the German Americans will be behind the president to man. Indeed, they will lean over backward in their effort to prove their loyalty to the United States. The exceptions will be a few paid agents of the German govern ment
 At meeting of representatives of 300 German and Austro- Hungarian societies held in New York city at the same time, the presiding officer, MT. Ludgwig Nissen, expressed their attitude in a smile which may prove to be the key to an understanding of this whole question of the German American attitude: Just as man may love his mother and still owe first allegiance to his wife, so let us citizens of German origin sincerely follow this example by loving Ger many and being loyal above all to the United States"
 This conception of the German Americans position evidently had be- come widespread before the crisis, for on the same day, when Mr. Emil von Schleinitz. of Milwaukee, and Dr. Leo Stern, president of the German ai- liance of Wisconsin, were interviewed by newspapermen, each declared that Germany is my mother but the Uni ted States Is my bride"
 The newspapers printed in German were also practically unanimous in expressing unreseved loyalty. Thus tn st. Louis Westliche Post declared We are Americans and we know our duty. We must stand behind Presi dent Wilson. The nation must be solid" And in Cincinnati F. cie Press: There can be no question tsa. the presidents policy must and will have the supp,I f all An, sri.a. ci,- izens.

-------=-------- lOAFlNG IN COLLEGES.

It is always refreshing when an educator tells a home truth about education. Dean Ballet of the school of pedagogy in New York University dld it when he said to conference at Oakland, Cal, that college life means four years of loafling.
 Pursuit of hay ideal of general culture commonly leads to idleness because the end is indefinite. The same youth who saunters through an arts course, specializing in glee club and athletics, wll work hard in pro- fessional school later because the end is definite; and in the process he in-i cidentally acquires more real culture than before.
 If there is a mere practical sugges- t, than that of Lean Pallet .vs fail to remember it. It is to turn tho last two years of college into profess sional trainlng. This would bring our system nearer that of the German universities, which get thelr studea.s two years younger than our better professional schools commonly do. The change would probably mean jaelllng up high school courses to meet the cut in part, with great inci- dental gain for boys and girls who must drop out to go to work.
