In other words North Dakota State has entered

Every man knows that at the next election the same

field of State ownership to other lines of industry.
AS result, no business feels safe for it is USE

Somebody is going to have to pay the interest and

ARE YOU NEXT?

In commenting on the improbabilty Of permanent
government ownership Of wire lines and railroads, W. H.
Hodge, of the H. NJ Byllesby & Co., says:
"A factor working against the public ownership of
utilities is the fear Of Boshevsm prevailing in the
United States and the growing organized opposition to
this destructive poison The fear of Bosheysm is
ing citizens to regard with dstrust all sociastic well
anarchistic proposals. and the idea of taking pr
property and business of any kindis becoming more
and distasteful to Americans Every business man
realizes that public ownership of utilities will inevitably
lead to rcbc ownership Of other industries and his own
may be the next the list Where he formerly tolerated
ideas of public-owned utilities he is exceedingly
picious Of such innovation The claor of the public
ownership proponents may grow louder whereas the op
position will steadily increase among thinking Americans
and without their support public movement

THE STARRY SKIES IN MARCH


Nearly all of the bright winter groups are now to be found to the west of the ,meridian. but they are stil all high in the evening heavens and the whole celestial hemisphere is most brilliant with stars, especially the western half of it. It will only be a few weeks more until the first of the winter groups will begin to disappear; by the end of April all of the bright Taurus will have sunk beow the western horizon and the whole of the eastern heavens will al- ready have become covered with the fainter summer groups. By this time, too, the bright winter branch of the Milky Way (which the observer will notice no longer passes through the zenith as it has done ever since last October). will be just sinking below the ground in the west, while the summer branch is beginning to rise in the east. In short, the evenings of March are the last evenings of the year on which the winter stars may all be seen.
 The observer will notice how the meridian now passes through a series of quite faint groups. In the south he sees the very uppermost part only of the great constellation Argos Navis, or the Ship an extended southern group

constellation Gin August), that we have the hottest days of the year. The early Egyptians thought that the sun was creation. while, though the constella- tion was regarded by early astrologers as a very fortunate sign, yet when the sun was within it's borders. medicine became a poison and thunder at this time was supposed to foretell the deaths of great men. The early Egyp- tians worshipped the stars of Leo be- cause the rise of the Nile occurs when the sun enters this constellation.
 The beautiful blush star at A is named Regulus, or the Ruler; it was also called the Lions Heart and the Royal Star. Even In a small telescope it may be seen to have faint com panion about three minutes away from it, which is of a very deep blue color. All of the stars of Figures 1 and ? marked N are double stars some of which are important binary systems. It is from a point within the blade of the Sickle, little to the east of the star at K, that the remarkable shoot ing stars known as the Leonids dart outward in all direction over the face of the sky. It will be remembered that the earth plunges into this great stream of particles about November 15 of ev- cry year, but it only encounters the densest part of the stream every thir- tythird year. From the year 137 A. D. (which is the time of the earliest re- corded observation of the shower). un- til now, there have been 53 of these re- markable encounters, some of which were far more brilliant than others

Memorial Groves for Soldiers

What more suitable memorial can we erect to our soldiers than living trees, The Womans Home Companion carries practical suggestions for this beauti- full project.
 That there will be many great ros.d ways across the continent defined by these memorial trees-Victory trees, someone has called them-is already an assured fact. That there will be plant ings around architectural memorials is also probable; but that there shall be plantings made just for the trees them- selves-memorial groves-seems a little less certain. Yet it i& doubtful if any arrangement that may suggest itself. or be suggested, can give the ultimate possibilities that lie in this. Such groves, moreover, need not be remote from the heart of the town which adopts them. Indeed, there is seldom any reason why public square at the very center of a city should not be planted thickly with the selected va riety or varieties, and thus develop into a lovely restful retreat. It has not been done-but that is not valid reas- on why it should not be- save in such cities or towns as are afflicted with more than the usual amount of soot and smoke and coal gas. A grove of this character offers far more easily cared for public breathing space than winding walks and close -shaven turft, with beds of ephemeral material; 1t has claims to consideration on the eco homie side, therefore, as we'll as on the side of pure loveliness. And the social value of this sort of development is quite possibly greater than any other form of park treatment, for there is an influence in the majesty of great trees and the deep shade that lies be- meath them that is exerted poteptly on whoever comes within their restful

showers of 1799, 1888 and 1866 were very remarkable. The expected great shower of 1900 was, however, disap- pointing, the path of the stream having been slightly altered by planetary per turbation so that the earth did not plunge directly through it.
 THE BEGINNING OF SPRING
 On March 21 of this year, at II hours, 19 minutes( eastern standard time), the center of the sun will cross the Celes- tial Equator and at this instant winter will end and spring will begin. It would be much more natural to begin the new year at this time, when new life IS
 beginning on the earth. and. in fact, the new year always began in this way
 with a new spring until. the time o1 Julius Caesar (45 B O, who without any reason, changed the time of begin ming to January l.
 It was at this time that the Julian calendar was introduced, one day being added to February every fourth year so that the year should be exactly 365 F days long Julius Caesar also named the old fifth month July after him self, because his birthday occurred dur
 ing this month; in the same way his
 successor, Augustus Caesar, gave the name August to the following month. and to make this as long as July, he abstracted day from February and
 added it to August, thus making his own month 31 days long.
 It happens, however. that the length of the year is not exactly 365 R days, but is II minutes 145 seconds shorter than this an error in the Julian calen- dar, which by the year 15S2 had amount to 10 days. At this time our present calendar was devised and tn- troduced, the peculiarity of which $
 that a day shall be added to February every four year. except that on three fourths of all the century years 1t shalI not be added. Among the modern civil ized countries Russia has not adopted this calendar, so that there is now difference in date between this coun- try and others of so much as l 3 days, the Russian date being 13 days earlier than the corresponding date of the other European nations.
 The whole matter of our modern cal endar is admittedly most unscientif;c and unnecessarily awkward. New plans are frequently proposed for improving it. such, for example, as will make it
 an easy matter to instantly reckon the numbe of days between two different dates, and so that the same date shall always fall upon the same day of the week. Several different plans of this kind can be easily devised. At present 1t would be difficult and perhaps i'm possible, however, to secure the unt- versal adoption of any one of them. In early times (and now among the Mohammedan nations and others), the month is regulated entirely by the I moon. the average time from new moon to new moon being 29 days 12 hours II minutes 2.S6 seconds Thus, the year
 is only between 354 and 355 days long, so that in a comparatively short time any given festival backs around l through all the seasons. This is said | to be regarded as rather an advan- | tage than otherwise, since no partial l ity Is thus shown to one day over an other. Thus, if we employed a lunar
