A BIG JOB THE
NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS

North Dakota alway important in
the nations food production will this
year have larger part to play than
usual. Director Cooper when ques-
toned In regard to the food situa.
tomas brought out at the st. Louis
meeting, said that the partial failure
Eof the winter wheat crop, the worlds
shortage, the small surplus, and the
wasteful handling Of food products
In war; time, means that the North
west will have to produce more than
"a normal crop in order to overcome
.a possible deficiency. Labor will be
one of the limiting factors so that
every effort should be made to make
each days work count, This means
preparing good seed bed, selecting
good seed, treating it, keeping machin-
cry in good condition, in short keep
ling everything at its maximum Of ef-
fciency, SO that a; maximum return
may be looked for the labor expend-
led. It is also important that livestock
production be kept up, that cheap
feeds be used as far as possible in
livestock production. Good pasture
for pigs, will reduce the amount Of
grain required to produce grains. Al
saeld sef corn for the pigs to hog down
provides the best fattening food and
with minimum Of labor. Such rough;
age as alfalfa and clover, will reduce
the amount Of grain needed by live
stock to produce growth and good:
production. Breeding stock should
be maintained. %S e. g. VII, 35.. t, .E
Or. Ladd, who has just returned
from the ST. Louis meeting, when
questioned as to conditions stated
that as a member OF the Naval Con-
sulting Board, he had been pretty
well informed on the. food situation
but even at that did not realize that
II IFS as serious as became apparent
when reports Of conditions in. the var
ious sections and countries were
brought before the meeting. II is

PARENTHOOD MEANS MORE
In These Modern Day. II Has Become
an Exactino, Fuil-Time
Vocation.

Being parent used to be one of
the most simple, natural and iney-
liable developments in the world
says Abraham Flexner in the At
lantic. People used to grow ND.
marry and raise families-they still
do back in the country-and society
was satisfied if parents could clotbe
feed and exercise a general superyi-
sion over their offspring. But now
adays one has no business to be mar
ried and have children unless, sleep
ing and waking, one is conscious of
the responsibility. Competent mod
ern parents must supervise the feed
ing, housing and playing of their
children on terms that, if applied a
generation ago, would have brought
the reproduction of the human race
to dead standstill. And now. re-
sponsive to the same forces, compe-
tent modern parents must supervise
schooling. The schoolmaster is no
longer to pursue his own sweet way.
Parents are going TO inspect him, as
they inspect every other factor in the
child's life Modern parenthood has
thus become an exacting, full-time
vocation-that is, persons who enter
the profession have no time for other
occupations, except the suffrage, and
they cut themselves off from all other
forms of remuneratiye and enjoyable
activity.

THE FALL OF A NATION. >

1.-The Fall of a Nation" a
war picture in seven reels, given
here Tuesdty, was shown to three
packed houses. 1t is a magnifi-
cent production of its kind, teach
ing a great lesson In prepared
ness. Thousands of actors took
part in its production and many
more thousands of dollars were
necessarily spent in it consumma-
ton just at this time, with our
nation on the verge OF war, the
moral effect of the picture Is
questionable, inasmuch as it has
tendency to both arouse patrio-
tism and chill it again by the hor-
rors of war depicted. But, the
picture is masterpiece and east
ly worth the price of admission.

Congress meets next Tuesday
for the purpose of considering
action regarding war with Ger
many. Pres. Wilson is preparing
d message and Congress will like
y be governed by the President s
recommendation, but his inten-
tlons are not publicly known.
This time next week Congress will
doubtless have taken some def
mite action, the waiting period
is about over and the majority of
American people, it seems, favor
war. In the meantime, war pre-
parations are being hastily made ;
the reource of the country
are being marshalled. Indications
point to our entering the con-
flict, which is likely to include
not only Germany, but the Cen
trail empires, along with Mexico,
and possibly Japan. Our inter
national affairs at this time are
considerably complicated and just
what proportions the struggle
will develop cannot be foretold.

THE MAN AND HIS TOWN.

Any city or town is just exact
ly what people who 1--we IN 1t
make it. 1t is no better or worse
than its average inhabitant. The
best thing in any town lis its
broadminded, most progressive
citizen; and the worst thing in
any town Is the man who con-
dens his own town. Nearly ev-
cry town has its home detractors,
who think it - smart to call 1t
jay" town. OF course, if a
man town is not sporty enough
for him he ought to move; wheth-
ar that would help him or not it
would help the town. 1t Is not
the sport or the sportinsss that
makes a town.
Most towns are made by the
Jays" who attend strictly To
business. Edison, who gave the
bright light TO the gay white
way was a jay" and Is yet.
Come TO think of it and examine
the list, it will be seen that near
ly every man in art, science, lit
erature, production and commerce
in all America today Is or has
been a Jay. Ii Is a safe rule
that the jay who runs his own
business gets farther along and
is worth more money to any town
than the sport who tries to run
other people > business. A town
IL seldom the results of virgin
nature conditions. In any event
it was man who saw the natural
advantages. Many a good town
has been practically made by one
man. The first process in the i'm
provement of any town Is to
convert our get rid of the people
who are knocking it. "A town Is,
after all, eonglomsration of
people. What the people are the
town inevitably must be.

FIRST PARK CONCERT
WILL BE ON JUNE S,

Unless present plans fail, the first of
the summer concerts to be given in Cen
tral Park by the Chamber of Commerce
band, will be held "Wednesday night of
next week. The concerts are to be con-
tinued weekly throughout the season.
Several plans have been suggested as
to the manner Of continuing these CON
certs, and the members Of the band
committee, together with the directors
and officers Of the Chamber of Com
merce and Business Mems association
are trying to determine the most fea-
sible method.
The first concert Of the season will
probably be under the auspices of the
local Red Cross. Director Barnard as
sured the Chamber Of Commerce and
the Business Mems association when
he assumed charge of the band, that he
would produce a real band if they gave
him their support. This they have done,
and he has made good. The band proved
a revelation to residents Of cities visited
on the recent FL Reno trip and was un-
qualihedly pronounced by Oklahoma
City musicians to be by far the best
organization of the kind in the state.
