Within the past week we have been
able to verify the report that State
Superintendent Neil C. Macdonald
refused to appear on the same platform
:as U S. Senator A. J.. Gronna,
because of Gronna's lack of loyalty
to this country. On the director day
sat the teachers institute recently
held at Lakota, arrangements had
been made by those who had in charge
the getting up of the program to have
their local statesman ~(?)address the
convention together with Governor
Frazier and Superintendent Macdonald,
and the programs for this session were
printed accordingly. However, when
the governor and Mr.. Macdonald
reached Lakota and were shown the
program the latter fatty refused to
have anything to do with the .conven-
tion if he vas to appear on the platform
along with a ~disloyal citizen, such az
he considered the senator to be. The
result was that Gronna's nama was
quietly dropped from the program
when the session was held. Cavalier
county friends of Neil Macdonald will
honor and approve of the patriotic
stand which he took in the home town
of Senator Gronna

Man with his intelligence ought to
be able to read weather signs as well
as the animals and the birds do, but
he is not. This sense, which we call
instinct, is superior to intelligence in
such matters. How does the squirrel,
the beaver, o. the muskrat forecast the
coming of a hard winter and make
preparation for it? Why will rats
leave a city foredoomed to an outbreak
of plague? How do the wild fowl
sense the coming change Of weather SO
hours ahead? How does q song bird
wintering in Central America find it's
way back to it's old nesting place in the
tree in your doorway? Man applies
science where the lower forms of crea-
ton use instinct, makes his deductions,
and is more often wrong than right,
while the birds and animals are al
ways right.

grown to some extent in the islands.
Production Of the hard ibers, used in

are large areas in the Philippines
which might be utilized to increase the

THE HARp LIFE.

If life We're easy there would be no
pride of endeavor, no stimulus for the
future, no high peak upon which to
fix u gaze. We forget these facts
when we become dissatisfied with our
lot and envy the apparent contentment
OF others. 1t is the contrasts we draw
In life between what we have and what
others have that paves the way for our
discomfort, and the mere fact that we
lack many things that we desire. Were
1T not for the small spark of jealousy
which burns low in the human breast,
but which flares up when least expect
ed, we would not find fault with life in
general and our oWn position in par
ticular. Because another person pos
sesses something which we deem nee
essary to u happiness and our well
fare, it is not necessary that we should
betray the jealousy which flares us
to make unkind criticisms and unwar-
ranted insinuations about those more
fortunately placed than we may be, but
so narrow at times is our viewpoint
and so restricted our sense of fair
dealing that we fall easy prey to our
OWL blind passions. This is not life at
it's best, nor yet atits worst. We could
do worse, but we could also do much
better, says Charleston News and Cour-
Ter. We cannot learn how to live I'M
less we make an earnest effort. and
1t is in the learning that we come into
a knowledge of life's truest values.
