Three Seasons in Year.

The Egyptian year vas divided into
three seasons. These were Shalt, the
seasOn Of waters. being the time occu-
pied by the rising spread and recess
sion of the Nile; Pirut, the. season Of
vegetation; the Shonmu, the season Of
harvest. These seasons are supposed
to have been arranged by the god ThOt.
Each season was divided into four
months und they we're known in Off
cial documents by numbers only. Thus
we have the first, second, third and
fourth months of Shalt, the months of
each of the other seasons being desig-
mated in the same manner. Each
month, however, had a patron god and
the people ordinarily gave to it, in
their daily Intercourse, the name of it's
god. These deity names of the
months were transcribed into Greek.
then into Arabic and are now largely
used by the Christian inhabitants of
Egypt in preference to the Mussulman
appellations.

Tunnels Of the Ancients.

Although tunneling is among the
most ancient of enterprises, more
progress has been made in it the last
century IMAM III the twenty centuries
which preceded it. 1t is now known
that back in the %semi-mythical days Of
the Thel,an kings the long tunnel into

chamber. was IL common work. The

prevail and then only on the basis Of
physical valuation.
Education in Political Economy.
We further urge the conducting Of
educational campaigns in the way OF
community discussions, bulletins and
lectures by political economists under
the auspices of some department Of
u state government, developing
thought and discussions on such SUBJ
jects as %taxatiOns, election systems,
forms of. government, management OF
public service utilities and industries.
marketing, pricing and distributing of
all necessities of life, betterment Of our
rural schools, etcI, and generally pro-
noting agricultural interests. In all
u discussions of these matters, let us
not be diverted from the question at
issue by personal attack upon individ-
uals or newspapers, or by anything
that does not bear upon the measures
themselves. or the proper method Of

PLAY SAFE OR be SORRY, WHICH,

PLAY SAFE OR BE SORRY, WHIcHi
In a Democracy like ours no eco
nomic change or governmental reform
can be either lasting or beneficial un.
less, Mt least a majority of the people
have first thoroughly digested-stud-
led it from every angle-and then con.
Guided that the taking Of any proposed
step for the upsetting of established In
situations and customs, will, in no way,
result in harm to themselves, thelc
families or their property, either in the
Immediate present or in the future.
Have we, here in North Dakota, gone
about II political business in this eau
ious manner? Are we entirely satis-
led that we know enough about many
If n changes that ire proposed. and
he men who are proposing them, to
want to risk the making of these
changes in the manne proposed, and
leave the changing in the hands of the
propOsers?
From whom have we gathered the
Information upon which we are about
to make these conclusions? Is it not a
fact that the men whose word we have
been taking for granted as being re-
liable have themselves made a failure
of practically everything that they
have undertaken? Is it wise for us to
decide what we want to do without
hearing from others on the subjects
under discussion?
The Provinces of saskatchewan and
Alberta, Canada, are being pointed out
to us as examples worth following. The
Regina Post of saskatchewan, Canada,
has this to say on the subject: Some
body ought to go to North Dakota and
tell the farmer administration that it
Is making 81 mistake; that bonds are
dangerous. that State improvements
Should be made n layer at a time
on the pay-as-you-go principle. Some
body 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 a spend
thrift generation is laying up a burden
for the children and grand children 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 IL state to borrow money with
which to make improvements, as il is
for a farmer to borrow money in or.
der to buy feeding stock in the fall,
or make extensive improvements ON
crops to come but fail. They should
be warned that the same disaster will
%overtake the state as the Turner suf-
fers if he goes into debt so deep that
he can't get out" Accommodating in
terest on past due paper has eaten thu
life out Of more than one farm and
business undertaking and can do it
again in 81 state or oven a nation. Isn't
1t better to play safe than to be sorryY"

Cattlemen Losing Money.

"Cattle receipts at Chicago during

1917. Nevertheless, the average price
for beef cattle weighing 200 TO 800
pounds was the lowest OF any month
since March, 1917. This condition was
extremely unfortunate for the cattle
feeder, in view of the fact that many
of the cattle coming to market at this
time were bought in competition with
packer buyers on the high market of
September and October.
"The serious shortage of cars for east
ern shipments from Chicago, together
with extreme weather conditions, was
factor largely responsible for the con-
dition. Independent eastern order buy
ers were practically eliminated from the
market, and left packers in full con.
