THROUGH EASTERN EYES

The one word which most accurately chara cter1ze.
the attitude Of the eastern press toward the political de
ve!opments in North Dakota as they manifested them
selves in their early stages some three years ago is "su,
perehlaouanesz." Among the eastern papers there ma3
have been q few exceptions, but the general attitude wa.
that Of City superiority and disinterested detachnnen,
And this waa the prevailing attitude whether the elenaen1
ct sympathy existed or not. Some Of the repfeseutative
eastern papers regarded the North Dakota eocialistie
movement in its inception as q spontaneous movement or
the part Of the farmers of the state for the redress Of
grievances. Some considered It merely a freaktsh dis,
turpance, attributable to no common cause, and likely te
be OF brief duration. Some believed that the tarnree
were being hoodwinked by unscrupulous Adventures
Articles were written from various standpoints, ranging
frea frank sympathy to undlsguised antagonisua. Blu,
through practically the whole series there ran the note
of patrontzing superiority and tolerant amusement, a feel
Ing. similar to that with which the Grown person. may
view the antics and e%scapadee Of a child. holding the1n
interesting, possibly amusing, but not at all important
To-day a different note is being struck in much Of the
eastern comment. Our eastern friends seem at last to be
realizing that North Dakota is a part of the United States
and that its people are, after al, not so very different
from other people. There exists more than q SUSPICION
that the sort Of appeal that is effective in Norris Dakota
may with proper allowances for differences in occupation
be equally effective in Ohio OF New Jersey. There is a
sort Of vague understanding that In character and method
the men who, on the basis of a propaganda of class an.
ia onisrn have revolutton1zed = state government, are
practically identical with Tao men who make a business
of closing factories and holding great industries by the
throat in order to maintain themselves in positions Of
power and ease. a
II the note Of spperctiousaess has not bean entirely
stieneed. its tones have been very much subdued, and
there seems to be dawntng . realisation that the preach.
ing Of the doctrines Of DESTRUCTION anywhere within the
borders Of the United States cannot safely be viewed with
indifference by any citizen. of the republic.
1t is htEh time Tor this change. It ia tahae that the
eencertton Of this as one ceuntry carried with it the
realization that the citizens OF our country must work
tegether. with and for each: other, instead of devotine
their energies to the tearing down of what other hands
have huil.. And 1T is gratifying to note that eastern people
who have been 2 little slow in reaching the proper frame
Of mind give evidence of waking up.

SUPPLY OF POTATOES

Adequate Storage of Crop on
Farm Is Quite important.
More Attention Should Be Given TO

to 80 Per Cent Of Stocks Should

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The potato crop is produced to sup
ply demand for period of. seven to
eight months. For this reason the crop
must be stored in part in the consum-
ing centers and in part in the region
where it is grown. The crop is so
bulky and heavy that it cannot all be
handled by the railroads at, one time.
In order therefore to conserve the crop
and adequately supply the trade, as
well as to stabilize prices, steps should
be taken to secure a constant and ade-
quate flow Of potatoes from the pro-
Queer to the consumer. This means
adequate storage on the farm and
more attention to buying in quantity

KELP ASH FOR FERTnIZING
One Of By-Products of Seaweed Con-
tains Potash Content of More
Than SO Per Cent.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture0
Since tue war stopped the supply of
potash from Germany the bureau of
soils of the United States department
of agriculture has been experimenting
with various processes for recovering
potash from kelp, a seaweed. One of
the experimental plants has been in
successful operation for several
months.
One of the by-products is kelp ash,
which contains a potash content of
more than SO per cent. Several car
loads of this product have been placed
upon the eastern markets for fertilizer
purposes. A carload was recently sold
to a farmers cooperative association
in New York and was found so salts
factory that another carload was
bought later. A third carload of kelp
ash reached Baltimore about May I.
Anyone interested in buying kelp ash
in carload lots fer fertilizer purposes
may secure further information from
the bureau Of soils.

REALLY NOT WATERS FAULT

French Language Evidently Was
Too Much for Him.

When. however, the tea things were
brought, he noticed that something was
missing, and spoke angrily to the
waiter about it.
'My dear fellow" objected Brown,
''what on earth are you saying?'
''Will you kindly refrain from max

of the French language?" retorted
Green.

! OLD SAYING SLIGHTLY MIXED
Familiar "Before You Could Say Jack
Robinson" Does Not Convey
the Right Idea.

Opinion differs as to the proper dIl-
ration of a social call. "Anywhere
from ten minutes to half hour" says
the woman who has social secretary
and whose dolly job is calling" to the
tune of tea I'D waters. Gail after
noon," says the bourgeoise, who takes
along her knitting and sits down to
coffee and cake. "And then" say
some, sit depends upon the call.
On some occasions and with different
people we stay longer than Others"
But Jack RObinson's calls never
varied. He never stayed long enough
to wear out his welcome. In fact hard
ly had he been announced, hardly had
the servant who admitted him spoken
aloud his name than he was gone.
So, as you see, 'befOre you can say
Jack Robinson" has no reference 10
the time it takes to say it. "As long
as you can see Jack Robinson" would
be more in order with it's origin and
significance.
