GrantSyiIle Has Fine Mill

The Grantsville Mill is once
more in operation under the
management of G. A. Witte.
The mill had been closed for the
two months preceding the first
of this month, while the new
machinery was being placed.
Mr.. Witte now has a mill that
has cost several thousand dollars
and will be able to turn out flour
at the rate of forty barrels day.
This will mean another blow at
the high cost Of living, as Mr..
Witte has already reduced flour
to S1.75.
This progressive move of Mr..
Whites will mean much for this
town and the surrounding com
munity and he deserves the pat

"The FARMS the Place"

(From the New York Evening Post)
The suspicion develops that, in
spite of war stocks and strange
mushroom industries, the farms the
place to make money. Wealth ac-
cumulates ION every rood of ground"
rather than where trade "usurps the
land" "A pig as big as tomcat,"
exults an Illinois farmer, SELLS for
SIG" North Dakota boasted in 1910
of less than $4,000 farms and farm
ers. Director Cooper, of the expert
ment station at Bismarck, estimates
that the total value of her five lead
ing crops this year will be in excess
of $205, 900, ,000-that is, if we allow
for a small increase in the number
of North Dakota farms and farmers,
each one will receive about $2,700
for these five leading crops. BY the
five leading crops he means oats,
barley, rye, flaxseed and wheat; and
he puts the value of corn, potatoes
and hay at $33,000,000- or nearly
$500 more per farm. Then there
are the hops (Which grow much
bigger. than tomcats), the cattle, the
sheep and the fowls. We would
advise automobile and piano manu-
facturers to direct their agents at
tention to North Dakota and adjoin-
ing States; though it is probable that
they are already fairly we'll stocked
with such luxuries.

The Good in the Shark
(From the New York World. }


For many years the portion of
the shark has been hatred and bad
name. So bad is his name that it
is applied without hesitation to the
constituencies land-jubber, the gam
bier with loaded dice and the vorac-
ious human generally.
But in Virginia rises one, a batter
of the oceans larger game, to tell
us that the shark is good to eat-he
has sampled many varieties himself
-sharkskin can be made into leather
fit for shoes, that the bones are fine
for fertilizers, and that from the
sharks liver can be extracted an
oil to rival that derived from the
cod.
In period of forced thrift in food
and footwear, this is excellent news
Moreover, we must count it as a
grateful turn of the natural truth
which, in the same instant that it
promises material addition to our
sources of supply, gives a brighter
repute to an old acquaintance. We
are reminded that in Japan one may
be called a lobster without offense.
1t will mean only that one is esteem
ed strong, healthy and likely to live
long and happy. With our new un-
destanding over here, we now may
call a man a shark with intent only
to imply that there is lot of good in
him,

riously;' they considered themselves
part of the national defense.
In a shop where S44 women are
employed, only. three defective ad-
Justments out of $4,000 fuses were
noted by the inspectors, and, after
examination, only one fuse was dis
carded. Thus in such an amount of
delicate work requiring so much at
tention only one mistake was discov-
ered-one in S0,00O-in a day chosen
at random by the inspectors. Some
times there is not single mistake.
Woman is endowed with a great fac
ulty for close attention; the qualities
of the lace-maker bequeathed to her
by her ancestors are responsible for
some of 1t. She is now engaged in
occupations requiring precision in
the handling of metals.
In a great factory for 155-milli-
meter shells, during the battle of
Verdun, the working day was length
ened to eighteen hours, and such was
the strain that II per cent. of the
workmen dropped from shere ex-
haustion.
THE war-shops have restored to
labor its spiritual value. Though the
desire for high wages may be great,
something else inspires the men;
they want to give their help to their
country. The sculptor of cathedrals
earned by his work the wages that
secured him his temporal welfare,
but at the same time ne was work.
ing to win eternal happiness. His
hands saved his soul. Like him, the
shellmakers and fusemakers put
something spiritual into their work;
they have a conscience, about 1t.
Some. women engaged in manufac-
turing grenades wrote: BE watch
full; in this shop there is bungling
going on in the handling of parts. II
will cause accidents
professional honesty often enough
conflicts with the interests of en-
ployes. Their passion for doing good
work only is more than a love of la
Dor; in the same way that the
church sculptor saw behind his
work in stone the glory of God, the
women war mechanics see the des-
tiny of France"
This state of mind, we are assured
has helped in the building up, dur
ing two years of war, of an organiza-
ton of work, and with the addition
of women as a body of workers
brought about results that France
did not seem to be likely to attain in
less than fifty years.-The Literary
Digest.
