DREAMING.

[ hate to read OF millionatres;
Because such reading seems,
To hypnotic me utterly
And start me dreaming dreams.
How many times I've figured out
What I'd be apt to do
If were in that fellows place
And had a million, too.
OF course. I'd use my fortune well;
More sensibly than hes
For I'd give 10 per cent at least
To worthy charity.
Another 10 per cent would go
To help along few
OF my deserving relatives
Whose bills are overdue.
And then my duty to the church;
OF course, a goodly share, ..e
Say % per cent or so
Would be devoted there.
I'd give this latter quietly,
Insisting that my name
Must be withheld, that none might
know
Whence this donation came,
I'd only let the pastor know;
He'd have to know you see,
Because my name upon the check
Would show 1t was from me.
Another 25 per cent
Would do myself and wife:
The income we'd derive from that
WOuIQ keep us UoLA AOA AAS'
Then, after that-well, after that
I dream away and plan ..
To spend still other 10 per cent
To help my fellowman.
And finally my dreaming gets
A bit confused, and then
I take tumble and my feet
Touch solid earth again;
And common sense assures me as
It stops me with a jerk,
I'VE wasted time enough to do
A dollars worth OF work.

leave that method to those who don't
believe in advertising. Most of us
VIII prefer to use printers ink and
other methods.
1t is not sufficient that we have a
good opinion Of our own state: we
must create public opinion favor
apIe to North Dakota outside of its
own oorders. Like the merchant, the
pest asset our state has is the good
Will of the public. This is, SO ia
speak. a new state, and like a mer-
chant who just starts out in business,
we must do a great deal Of advertis-
Ing. The state that grows and whose
prosperity endures is the one that is
properly advertised
There are many methods bv which
state may be advertised, and to do
IL properly we need many methods,
Tne state itself spends q great deal
or money advertising its products at
exposltlons and making it's opportun-
iIies known in a dozen different WAYS.
Inc boys OF the press believe in boost
ing the state through their papers
and sending millions of copies to neo-
pie outside of the state. Land deal
ers advertise the state by advertis-
ing their land and bring ing land
seekers by the thousands here every
year. Railroad companies advertise
the state by giving excursions and
calling attention to land in which thew
are interested. Commercial clubs and
other public spirited organizations
send out circulars by the million set
ting forth the advantages of their
particular localities. The school
children write essays and the preach
ers preach sermons on the greatness
and goodness Of our commonwealth.
OF the broadness Of her prairies and
the beauty of her skies. Many folks
write letters to friends in other states
and distant lands, telling them that
they had better come to North Da-
kota. The least anyone can do is to
always speak good word for the
state in which he lives.
We have the resources and by prop
erly advertising them nothing can stop
their development. With proper di-
versifcation in farming nothing can
stop our country districts from be-
coming developed like those OF Ohio
Illinois, or Iowa; and our budding
villages and cities from becoming
Bostons, Detroits, Pittsburghs, Chi
cagoes and Minneapolises. The states
population is now nearly a million but
we have room for many million and
we are going to have them. How soon
depends on how well we advertise the
state and its untold resources.

source OF Future Iron.

Metallurgical Engineering: That iron
is the very basis of our industrial CIV.
iiization will be admitted by the
thoughtful, and many of our greater
supplies of iron ore are being rapidly
depleted because of the increased per
cai,ita consumption of iron the world
over. an increase which is destined to
be greater in the future when the races
in Asia and Africa increase their con-
sumntion of iron. These conditions OF
increasing consumption and decreasing
reserves have often in the past, partic-
ularly about the beginning of this CEN
tury been used to create scare, on
the ground that our supplies of disable
ore were being so rapidly depleted that
their exhaustion would occur within
two or three generations.
This Is a preposterous point of view,
because as we lower the percentage of
iron in the rock, which we call "ore' !,
the quantity of such ore increases at q
rate out Of all proportion to the de-
crease in iron content, and as we use
leaner and leaner ores technical inn
proyements will be made which will
minimize any tendency to increased
cost of production. The same thing has
happened in gold, silver, copper and
other ores and today copper ores are
being worked with only 1.5 per cent OF
copper in them.
