Summer forgetting the clover,
Bees the honey and birds the flower
This the monument and this the hour
When bugles are bees-Oh, follow

Bugles have blown--and it's up, men,

The steeds are ready-a stirrup.cup!
Up through the pass Of the mountain,
Camped by the brink of fountain,
Fearless of all men living,
Fearless, and yet forgiving.
Clanking of scabbards-hooray!
Swords in the air for the fray!

Trumpets to answer them down the

Swinging platoons in marching order.
The call comes up from the Mexican

Out of the lane and alley,
Come, with the world to rally
Come to the music that calls you over,

ADVOCATE OF GARDENING IN
ELEMENTARY CITY SCHOOL S

That home gardening, directed by
the school, is the most effective way
for bringing boys and girls into closer
relationship with the affairs of life is
asserted by c. D. Jarvis in bulletin
on Gardening in Elementary City
Schools" just issued by the bureau of
education of the department of the
interior. Mr.. Jarvis declares: I'm or
about almost any city there may be
found an abundance of land that may
be used for productive gardening by
school children. Within the limits of
many cities there is sufficient land, if
llntensively cultivated, to supply the
people with the vegetables and large
proportion of the fruits and flowers
needed. This unused land should be
brought under cultivation
In order that the best use may he
made of this land for educational and
productive purposes, it is suggested
that trained and experienced teachers
of gardening should be employed in
every city. "Such teachers would in
struct the children directly and the
parents indirectly" declares Mr.. Jar
wis, with the result that i'm a few
Years generation Of capable garden
ers would be developed. But the de-
lvelopment of trong-bodied, efficient,
and contented citizens is the real pur-
pose and the main result of this work.
With a common knowledge of the prin>
lciples and possibilities of crop produc.
ton, the Wage-earner of the future
will not need to measure his income
solely by the size of his pay envelope
He will consider, also, the productive
capabilities of his garden plot and the
extent to which it will reduce the cost
of living. He will see the advantages
of a suburban home, contrasted with
the crowded and unwholesome tene-
ment."
The bureaus bulletin points out the
possibilities of gardening from the
point of view of democracy in educa.
tfon; its usefulness in developing
thrift and industry; its value as sub
istitute for illegal child labor; and its
justification in intoxicating the joy of
living. The bulletin also Analyses the
methods of introducing gardening into
the schools; describes the different
types of gardening; shows the kinds of
instruction and supervision that have
proved useful; and goes somewhat into
detail in planning garden plots and
the disposal of the garden crop.

Canadian Paper Reviews
North Dakota Situation

Regina (Sask.) Post: At a recent
election in North Dakota newly.
created farmers organization cap.
tured the state government The new
governor is a farmer, who lives on a
| farm.
The first practical proposal which
the farmers administration of North
Dakota has made is to raise the limit
of indebtedness which the state can
contract. The limit is now 100000.
The farmers of North Dakota believe
| it should be millions and several
speakers at recent meeting of the
Nonpartisan league pointed to the ex-
amples of Saskatchewan and Alberta
and other Canadian provinces, which
have piled up public debts of many
millions in a few years and are still
increasing this burden as fast as mon
ey is available.
Somebody should 60 to North Dako-
ia and tell the farmer administration
that it is making a mistake; that
bonds are dangerous, that state i'm
provements should be made one layer
jat time on the pay-as-you-go princi-
pie. Somebody from Saskatchewan
should tell the new government that
there are thousands of people in this
province who believe that the present
system of financing is all wrong and
that spendthrift generation is lay
ing up burden for the children and
grandchildren of the future which the
latter will accept with extremely bad
grace.
The North Dakota farmers should
be warned that it is just as specula-
tive for state to borrow money with
which to make improvements as it is
for a farmer to borrow money in order
to buy feeding stock in the fall. They
should be warned that the same disas-
ter will overtake the state as a farmer
would suffer if, when he had money
enough to pay for an adjoining 4O-acre
tract, he bought 80 acres and mort
gagged it for half it's value on the the
DRY that he might as we'll be using it
while paying for it.
| OF course these arguments might
have no influence in North Dakota
The demand for an increase in the
debt limit of the state may be so in
sistent and the determination to issue
bonds may be so pronounced that the
farmers will go ahead regardless of
danger. But they should not point to
the western provinces of Canada as
examples of good financing. The one
principle that seems to be acted upon
here is to borrow and to continue Dor.
rowing while the goose is still laying
golden eggs.
What can the province of Saskat-
chewan show for the 80 odd millions
of dollars, regardless of railway guar
antees, that have been spent during
the last nine years save few public
buildings, far in advance of the period,
and some roads and bridges. More
than 80 million dollars in addition to
the annual revenue spent in less than
nine years Is, We believe, record for
any state or province on this cont,
nent.
The farmers of North Dakota need
some political advice. They should
not look to Saskatchewan and Alberta
as examples of what good financing
has done. Rather should they regard
conditions here as horrible example

THE HOMESTEAD

Here we come when love was young;
Now that love is old,
Shall we leave the floor unswept
And the hearth acold?
Here the hill wind in the dusk,
Wandering to and fro,
Moves the moonfowers, like ghost
Of the long ago.
Here from every doorway looks
A remembered face,
Every sill and panel wears
A familiar grace.
Let the windows smile again
To the morning light,
And the door stand open wide
When the moon is bright.
Let the breeze of twilight blow
Through the silent hall,
And the dreaming rafters hear
How the thrushes call.
Oh, be merciful and fond ,~..r.
To the house that gave
All its best to shelter love,
Built when love was brave!
Here we came when love was young;
Now that love is old,
Never let it's day be lone
Nor it's heart acold!

TIME FOR ACTION

Regardless of war and rumors of
war there is going to be activity and
a great increase in business through
out this favored state during the year
1917. Farmers will raise more and
better stock, builders will construct
more, merchants will sell and deliver
more, and all business will expand.
Located in a favored and fertile field,
Valley City should respond promptly
to this increase. 1t should be prepar-
ed to handle conventions, to entertain
smaller groups of visitors, to be high
market for produce, to foster and en-
courage small as we'll as large indus
tries to locate here. Briefly it should
look after the details Of helping and
making the city and community to
grow. This can be best done through
the agency of live commercial club.
First see that your commercial club is
competent to handle the matters en-
trusted to it. If you are the right kind
of business man or booster for your
city you will be in there working for
expansion and beneficial results.

When Is a Uniform
NOtaUnifOrm?W When
It's a Bathing Suit

When is a Inform not a uniform:
brought 10 the front IN army circles
during the last few days by the new
regulations against sale OF liquors to
persons In military uniform and the
consequent resort 20 the bathing suit
as a means Of securing a drink.
Douot is expressed in some circles
that the prohibition regulation against
soldiers in bathing suits drinking car
be made to hold in view Of the regu-
latlons issued by the war department
governing the wearing of uniforms.
According to these regulations 'en
listed men will not be permitted to
wear any articles Of uniform which
are not furnished by the quarter
master, nor will they be permitted to
wear articles Of me uniform other
than those furnished to the o:ganiza
ton to which they belong"
The suggestion has been made tina:
to protect the hotel keeper from the
heavy fine imposed for selling to sol
diers, soldiers who go bathing on the
beach might wear a portion OF unit
form about their person. along with
their bathing suit; hat cord, per.
hars, about the neck. This would not
be possible, however, for Combina-
tons OF this sort arc prohibited. Says
the war department:
Combinations o. various articles
OF the uniform other than the con-.
binations presented In these regula,
tons are prohibited
Bathing suits are presumably given
special mention in the regulations,
bTt are most likely classed with the
athletic clothes which men OF the
army ale allowed to wear at prescrib
ed tines.
Tennis, baseball, football golf and
other athletic clothes may be worn
when engaged in athletic games anG
sports say the regulations.
From the above it would seem that
the word uniform applies to the
regulation uniform only; not to bath
ing suits. According to the argument
that goes with His latter class Of
clothing, so long as a man wears t.
he is not in uniform; and there is
apparently nothing to prevent his
wearing the beach apparel so long as
he s engaged in the sport Of swim
ming.
