Plant Second Crop
 of Irish Potatoes

N Alabama now is the time for
 S planting second or fall crop of Irish potatoes. J. F. Duggar, direc-
 tor of the cooperative extension work
 of the United States department of agriculture and the Polytechnic Insti-
 ute at Auburn, reminds farmers that
 the spring crop will not keep through the winter, but that second crop planted in July will. The great trouble
 with the fall crop, he says, is to se- Icure good stand.

ONE OF THE THRoNG.

ONE OF THE THRONG. fortunate man, Who's built on the plan
 Of making the best of this life; With never a cent, Is truly content
 Though poyerty's troubles are rife. He's glad of the dawn And the dew-sprinkled lawn
 And the flowers that bloom in the
 spring; And his heart beats in tune With the spirit of June
 And is thrilled by the birds when they
 sing. The clear winding stream Is part of his dream
 And the hills and the valleys are fair, And the smile on his face There's naught can erase,
 For hope has imprinted it there.
 IN DISFAVOR.
 You seem to be on very good terms with the head waiter here.''
 "Yes," replied MT. Dubwaite. Tn my care-free bachelor daSs he used to ar range some gay little supper parties for me. Friend wife is aware of that fact. As a result she detests the poor fellow and regards him as pernieious person who would certainly have sent me to the demnition bow-wows if she hadn't mar ried me in the nick of time"
 THAT'S DIFFERENT. "So you made the mistake of falling in love with farmerette?' 'Why do you speak of the affair as a mistaken?

Remarkable Rise
 of the Safety Razor

M DISPATCH from Boston states SS that one of the best known safety razor companies completed the half-year to June 30 with net earn ings which may be approximated at l$3, ,500,000. This will be equal to SIS share on the 190, 1000 shares of stock, or S36 a year, which makes safety razor stock worth having"
 This company has daily capacity of 45,000 dozen blades, working IS hours to meet increased war demands, which will shortly be increased to 60,000 dozen a day. Given the name of that particular blade, perhaps some statistician could tell us how far one days output would reach, laid end- to-end. During the March quarter this company turned out 2,912,O13 dozen blades, while it is estimated that the output for the half year was nearly 7,000,000 dozen. during the half year total of probably more than 1,250,- 900 razors were manufactured.
 1 According to the manufacturers, they make their profits chiefly from the sale of blades, which has reach sd enormous proportions. Some men claim to be able to use a safety razor blade for a month without resharpen- ing, but they are few and far between. 1 Others, who have tender skins, rarely use blade more than once or twice. The growth of the safety razor bus mess has been phenomenal. There are perhaps half dozen companies of national or international reputation who keep the country flooded with their wares, paying scant considera- tion to the tonsorial fraternity who have seen thousands of their custom CTS permanently wrested from them by the lure of the safety razor.
 As if they were not already mak- ing enough money, Kaiser Wilhelm started the war in Europe, eventu- ally forcing American participation and thus giving the safety razor people an opportunity to advertise their product with such force and con- vincingness that it now seems to anx- ious parents and relatives like a crime to let boy leave for France without buying him a safety razor outfit.

lie Informed on War

Washington, D. c., April 30.--The
whole question of how the American
public shall be kept promptly inform.
ed as to army activities both abroad
and at home is under consideration at
the war department. In making this
known today Secretary Baker frankly
stated that the present system has
proved entirely unsatisfactory.
The war secretary would not say
what plans are under consideration,
but it is known that the issuing of
some sort of daily statement is con-
templated. This is regrded as neces-
sary now that American soldiers not
only have taken units, but also have
been brigaded with French and Brit.
ish forces in Picardy, where the Ger.
mans are still trying to drive their of.

DECIMAL COINAGE

At the annual meetings Of the Association Of
Chambers of Commerce, which begin today in
London, draft decimal coinage bill is to be SUBJ
mitted for approval We are no far from the
centenary of the first agitation of British business
men in this direction, and in the kindred direction
of the metric system, and it is we'll over the half
century since the Bank of England gave the move
ment an impetus by subscribing 81O0 to the funds
of the Decimal association. Yet in 1907, when the
last metric bill was presented to the house OF
commons, the second reading was rejected by a
large majority. If you give your mind to univer-
sal principles you are bound to be decimalist;
the moment the enemy entraps you among the
perplexities of local details and special pleas you
become again British chaotist. Lancashire, which
somtimes seems to vote for free trade upon the
strictest protectionist principle, adheres to the
present chaos in weights and measures>on the
ground that while anyone can understand the
metric system, no one but Britisher can under
stand ours and that therefore the Britlshers al
ways have the advantage of initiates in an exclu-
sve circle According to the exporters Of cotton,
the east, which has been admitted to our secret,
prefers it's dark holes and corners to the stark
simplicity of the allten SYSTEM and in the eastern
market the metric manufacturer is perplexed and
lost O.. +
But this kind of opposition is the paltriest Of
special pleading. Enlightenment is all on the side
of easy and rapid communications, and even if the
whole world were under the necessity OF unlearn-
ing the British confusion of weights and accounts
and learning the all-ten system, the change would
be worth while, for the metre and the decimal are
time-savers in communication between one bust
ness man and another, though both may belong to
the same country. There cannot be freedom Of
trade until our neighbors understand us and we

regard to this object the allten system is almost
universal language of nature. The early Victor

tenth Of pound"-a superscription which was
abandoned only in the last reign clearly intended
to introduce us to the conveniences of decimal
coinage There would be nothing revolutionary in
carrying their reform little further, and deci-
NAL coinage would sooner or later bering metric

WITH THE EDITORS
THE SPIRIT OF THE STATE PRESS

5000
Of course the country newspaper editors, at
the convention in Bismarck Friday and Saturday,
pledged their whole hearted loyalty in unequivocal
terms. That was to be expected, but they went
further.
They forgot politics and feuds for the time be-
ing in the service of the government.
AS rule the country newspaper editor doesn't
think any more about politics than he does about
getting three meals day. 1t is as natural for him
to dip into political affairs, as it is for duckng
to take to the water. But politics was forgotten
at Bismarck. 1t is doubtful if anybody there
knew democrats; which were Nonpartisans and
which were not.
The editors left their work and paid their own
expenses to Bismarck for the sole purpose Of
working out practical method of putting their
columns at the service Of the government They
wanted to devise practical plan for handling the
immense amount of publicity matter sent out by
the national and state governments so that max
imum Of service could be given at minimum Of
waste. That plan was most thoroughly discussed
and finally adopted Its aim is not to reduce the
amount Of space given to government affairs, but
to increase it; to make the matter more readable
and more effective; and to reduce the expense in
handing it. - -
The spirit of the meeting couldn't have been
better. The editors fraternized as in the good
old days." We have feeling that those resolu-
tions herald the coming Of pleasanter days for
North Dakota; days when acrimony will. be re-
moved from political affairs; when kindness and
good feeling will supplant suspicion and distrust
among neghbors and friends in North Dakota !
when communities will not be divided by artificial
barriers, but be united in working for the benefit
of ALL when life will be more worth the living out
here in the wheat belt.
