Experts Without Regard to
Political AffiIiation.

The old doctrine of ''TO the victors

Of many Of the other political dogmas
and party shibboleths, now that the
farmers Of North Dakota have taken
hold Of the government of their state
Instances of this crop up every day,
when men who have not hitherto been
affiliated with the League are chosen
to fill important positions solely be-
cause Of their expert knowledge Of the
enterprise they are selected to man

acts as an insurance company, pro.

the dependents of workers killed in
pursuit of their daily labor.
Mr.. Watson is the man who compiled
the figures on which the U. S. govern

tiOn he is at present in full charge of
the actuarial and underwriting work
of three state funds-Ohio, Maryland
and Idaho-and has computed the in.
itial rates for the state of New York.
The employment of such man not
only augurs well for the success OF
the states new enterprise, but it shows
the sincerity and singleness Of purpose
Of the farmers administra ton to avoid
partisan or political conditions In the
carrying out of it's projects.
Mr.. Watson says of North Dakota s
new law: "NOrth Dakota has the most
broad and humane workmen's compen-
sation law enacted" That, from a
man Of his experience is not light
praise for the farmer legislators who
enacted the measure. Even the enemy

Why Oil Floats on Water.

It seems very curious at first sight
that one liquid should be able to float
on the surface of another; but if we
think carefully about it we see at once
that whether q thing floats on the sur
face Of water or not depends upon
two things, writes the Child's Book
Of Wonders. First, whether it is solu-
ble-that is, will dissolve-in water or
not. For instance, if we put a piece of
salt in water it disappears, because
the salt is soluble in water. If, how
ever, we put a piece of light wood on
water it floats there because it is not
soluble, and therefore remains intact,
and also because the weight of the
piece Of wood is less than an equal
piece Of water. 1t is much the same
with oil. Oil and fat are quite insol-
uble in water, and as the oil is con-
siderably lighter than the bulk Of wa
ter it floats on the surface.

Forest Fire Is
Big War Evil


The president, we are told by Sci
ence, New York, has authorized a loan
of 100000 to the forest service for
fire fighting expenses, to meet emer-
gency conditions in the national for
ests of the northwest and the Pacific
coast.
The loan was made from the special
defense fund Of $50,O0O,O0O placed at
the disposal Of the president by con-
gress. 1t is recognized that the pro-
lection Of the national forests is an
important and essential war activity.
Forestry officials regard the present
fire season in the northwest as in some
ways the most serious with which the
government has ever had to cope. Ear
ly drought, high winds, electrical
storms, labor shortage and depletion of
the regular protective force as a result
Of the war have combined to make the
fire conditions unprecedentedly bad.
Necessity for resort to the presidential
fund was due to the fact that the ap-
preparation bill for the department Of
agriculture for the current year had
not yet been passed.
