THE LAND OF
BEGINNING AGAIN
OFFICE PHONE 30

GEGlNNtNG AGAIN
! wish that there was some wonder
full place
Called the Land of Beginning Again
Where all our mistakes and all our
heartaches, and all our poor
selfish grief
Could be dropped like a shabby old
coat at the door
And never be put on again
I wish we could come on it all I'M
aware,
Like a hunter who finds a lost trail;
And l wish that the one whom our
blindness had done.
The greatest injustice of all,
Could be at the gates like an old
friend that waits,
Fer the comrades he's gladdest to
call

GIVES TOWN RIGHT
 TO RUN BUSINESS

A new constitution embody- ing the various reforms desir- ed by the Farmers Non-partis- an Legue has been prepared and introduced in the North Dakota House of Representa- tives. Among other things, it gives the State and the cities and towns the right to engage in any line of business. This is common in Europe, and has proved very advantageous; but here conservative courts have held it to be unconstitutional as when the government of Schenectady, N. Y., was not al- lowed to furnish ice to the citizens at cost.
 If the new constitution is passed by both houses in North Dakota, it will go to a popular vote in June. Otherwise the process of amending the con- stitution will require several years. The Farmers Nonpart- isan League controls the House but half of the, Senate consists of holdover members elected before the League came into existence. At least six of these must vote with 19 Nonpartisan members to submit the new constitution.

Wouldn't This Help Coconino
 Grain Raisers
Wheat Thresher at $39O.

A threshing machine costing only S39O and capable of threshing from three hundred to five hundred bushels of wheat a day catches the atten- ton of all wheat growers at the tractor show. It is exhibited by the J. I. Case Threshing Ma chine Company. The separator is one of three special sizes made for Case tractors. The $390 one is designed to be handled by the 8-16 or 9-18 tractor. The threshing can be done by three or four men and the farmer does not have to wait for the commercial threshermen while the bugs, mice, rats, birds and the wealth CT man all take toll of it.
 "Threshing can be done as cheaply as the farmer can stack his wheat to wait for the commercial rig, it is claimed, and also a great deal of wheat can be saved by threshing when the grain is not tough. "
 "Just as essential as binder for the wheat grower" is the claim for the machine. It will also thresh cowpeas, clover and various seed crops.

Sale of Irrigable Government
 Lands

Washington, D. c. Con gressman Carl Hayden has made good his promise to the people of Yuma by passing through the House the Senate bill providing for the irrigation of the Yuma Mesa, so that this measure will soon go to the President for his approval. The Mesa unit of the Yuma Rec lamation Project contains a. bout 10000 acres of the best citrus fruit land in the United States, over 5O,O00 acres of which are still a part of the public domain but withdrawn from entry at this time. The new Act provides that the Gov ernment lands shall be apprais- ed at minimum price which shall be sufficient to pay for the cost of constructing the ir- rigation works necessary for their reclamation and shall be sold to the highest bidder, pay ment to be made in four annual installments. Residence upon the land is not required.
 Oranges, lemons, grape fruit, dates and other semi-tro- pical fruits have been success fully grown for a number of years at the Blaisdell orchards on the Yuma Mesa. EXperi- ence has demonstrated that these lands are practically frostless and of a great fertil- ity when supplied with water. The Government Soil Survey of the Yuma Project shows that the mesa lands are free from

JUST A COLD.

Every cold is the result of an acute
Infection in the air passages. The bac-
terra may be in the nose or some cavity
opening into the nose. in the throat. in
the chest. or in the blood. as Well as in
the air passages. Whenever there is
fever. some of the bacteria are in the
blood stream. This is n roupo of rea-
sons why colds are no a trifling mat
ter.
There are several bacteria, any one OF
which may be the cause of the cold. An
important one OF these is the pneumo-
cOccus. the bacterium which causes
pneumonia. When this organism gets
into the blood 1T may cause pneumonia,
rheumatism, or n one OF several 9TH
err diseases. There is nothing new about
this information except the scientific
basis for it. That heavy colds some
times ran into pneumonia. rheuma-
tiSm. n other diseases has long been
commonly known.
And then there is a third reason why
colds are not a simple matter. In Irv-
ing Fishers study of the cost of pre-
Ventable illness it was shown that colds
are Il source of economic loss running
into many millions of dollars. This
morning there is not an office but is
running shorthanded because of colds:
there is not a school but has seats un-
occupied for the same reason. The ag-
Sregate of his loss is greater than the
aggregate loss from floods.
What a be done to prevent infec-
tons? Colds are caught. They are
caught from persons. 1 have in mind a
nearby office through which colds have
walked from end to end. Starting with
an employee, the infection has slowly
gone through the office force, employ
ers and employees alike.
KEEP AWAY FROM PERSONS
WITH COLDS.
Careful research has shown that chill
ing the body makes infection with colds
possible. There is a bacillus which is a
frequent cause of colds in rabbits. Into
the noses OF one set of rabbits this
bacillus was thrown without much eff
feet. When another set of rabbits was
wet and chilled and the bacilli were
thrown into their noses. many of them
developed colds.
Warm. dry socks prevent colds.
But as much of a u of colds as are
chilling and wetting. they are not to be
compared with o~verheating. To pre-
Vent colds, keep out of badly ventilated
rooms. Rather than stand in a badly
ventilated room. get put on the porch.
Dusty air causes colds. Avoid it.
Overeating is a fruitful source OF
colds. Drinking whisky is another. A
part of a katzenjammer is a cold-usu-
ally mild. sometimes severe, OCCASION
ally attaining the form of pneumonia.
Colds tn be prevented by a daily
cold bath. A colo neck and shoulder
bath is fairly effective.
Keep the body warm and dry.
Keep out of hot places.
Keep out OF foul air.
Live temporarily.
Avoid persons who have colds.

Walter and His Toys.

once upon a time. as Walter sat
playing with his electric train of cars,
he said: Mother, | know lots of boys
that didn't have any toys this Christ
mas. 1 wish ! could ask them in to play
with some of mine."
II tell YOU what to do Walter" said
his mother, sc out and find as many
boys as WOu can that didn't have a
happy Christmas and bring them home
With YOU and they car play as long as
they want and | will get up Il little
party for YOU"
In a short time Walter was back with
Six boys and it wasn't long before they
were having lots of fun running the
train through the tunnel and around
the track.
Walters father had made him a
large platform raised about Il foot from
the floor. so the boys could sit around
1T and still a the track.
What fur they had all of the after
noon playing With the train and all the
other toys and just before it was time
TO go home. Walters mother asked
them all into the dining room where
she had nice hot cocoa and cakes for
them. As each boy left the house she
handed him a large bog of candy and
told him to come often to pla with
Walters playthings.
After they had gone Walter went to
ms friends and told them 10Y much the
boys had enjoyed playing with his toys
and h boys formed a little club to
meet once a week and each bring a
friend with him that they knew would
like to play with their toys
Each of the boys promised 20 give
a part of their money allowance SO tina
they could have candy or cake. for the
boys to take home and during the year
they were all to earn some money to-
ward making a happy Christmas for
their little new friends the mex year.
Walter was chosen president of the
club and the next meeting was to be
e at his house for they wanted to
start working as soon as they could.
After the meeting the boys were to de-
vote some time to playing together so
that the boys would all have a chance
to play with ach others toys and in
that way learn to be generous toward
each other. The boys are going to call
it Happy club. 1 think that is just the
name for it. don't you?
