ALWAYS TEEMING WITH LIFE
Noises Of Animals, Birds, or Insects
Never Completely StilIed in the
JungIss of Malay.

One may as well try to describe with
| justice the crater of an active volcano
as to describe the jungle of Malay.
From without one sees a dense for
est of very irregular height and Of the
most vivid green imaginable. Here
and there towering above the others
one sees immense trees, 200 feet high
or more. From without the jungle
looks impenetrable, and so it is, except
/ by well-defined tracks, or by hacking
ones way through, as / have done, for
$50 miles.
Within the jungle all is gloom, ex-
/ cept overhead, where one can see IL
misty light that filters up through the
delicate foliage. All the trees shoot
! straight up, there being practically no
horizontal branches from them. In
fact, there are no trees that resemble
the oak or other short-trunked trees.
The ground is nearly always damp
or even slushy in places, and infested
with land leeches that crawl up ones
clothing and gorge themselves on your
blood. The atmosphere is steamy, but
taken the temperature just within the
jungle, and found it to be about so de-
grees, but on placing the thermometer
out in the sun it has rapidly reached
the temperature of 14S degrees.
Early in the morning the jungle re-
sounds with the cries of the monkeys
just waking up. About $50 these
cease and the ordinary day noises Of
birds, and the steady hum of insects
prevail. The frequent tap of woodpeck-
ers, the croak of huge treefrogs and
the call of the peacock and argus
pheasant re-echo through the jungle.
Every now and then one hears famil-
lar cock-o-doodle-doo and the clucking
of hen and inagines one must be
near a farm, until it is realized that
it is only the jungle fowl, the ancestor
of all domestic poultry.
Toward sunset, about six o'clock.
there suddenly bursts out perfectly
deafening din of buzzing and shrieking
insects. 1t is no exaggeration to state
that the noise of the insect life ut sun
set makes it practically impossible to
hear oneself speak. This continues I'M
til about seven O'clock, when darkness
has set in and then it dies away con-
siderably. Throughout the night one
hears all kinds of queer noises that
were absent during the day.
With luck, you may hear the growl
and roar of tiger, hunting some poor
animal. Frequently one hears great
cemmotion among the birds and mon
keys that had been sleeping in some
tall tree, as their slumber is disturbed
by a snake that has climbed up and
caught one of them. A common sound
is the despairing shrek of jungle
fowl caught by some wildcat. Occa-
sionally ones sleep is disturbed by a
loud crashing of trees and the trum-
peting of herd of elephants. In fact.

ALL IN ONE CLASS
Classification Bourgeois Fits
Every American.
In Reality 1t Is q Term of the Highest
Honor, Though Anarchistic Enc
mics Of All Society
viii Deny 1t.

The average Americans understand
ing of the word bourgeois is reflect
ed in a common saying which has
passed from the country newspaper
Office into ordinary speech: you can't
run nonpareil newspaper in a bour-
geois town" The word, so far as it
is used in it's Typographical sense (and
pronounced "burjoice'), is synony-.
nous with rustieity and lack of enter
prise. For the term in its European,
social sense, signifying a trading mid
die class, the average American has
never had any use at all, because he
had never been aware of any such di-
vision or classification of the popula-
tion. IL he knows the word at all it
is only through his reading of Euro
pean books or papers. In it's con-
tinental European meaning it is en-
tirely strange to our own usage.
But it is nowsmade familiar through
the attacks of bolsheyiM and Sparta
Gus people upon all the elements of
society except their own. Another
word in their hostile. and hating sense,
is flagrantly misused. In strictness,
the term means the trading middle
class citizen. Anciently, it included
artisans as well if they dwelt in cities
and lived in comfortable houses. The
word distinguishes certain people from
royalties, from the nobility, the gentry
or at least the upper gentry-on the
one hand, and from country people
and poor town labOrers on the other.
Tt is the same as "burgher" or citizen,
and Shakespeare used "citizen" in ex-
actly the same sense, as when he
makes Jaques speak of the deer
sweeping along full of pasture" as
fiat and greasy citizens" or when
Imogen, employing the word adjec-
lively, as we do bourgeois" declares
that she is mot so citizen a wanton
as to seem to die ere sick" In Moli-
ere's Bourgeois Gentilhomme," the
meaning of the word is dramatized in
a comedy of the attempted evolution
Gotten accomplished) of the "eitizen"
into the gentleman" But all this
true and ancient meaning is swept
aside by the bOlshevist, who makes
the word signify all people but him
self. For him. there are in the world
but the proletariat worker, the money
less industrial wage-recei7er, on the
one hand, and the bourgeois" on the
other, and he makes the hated CLASH
fication include cars and kings,
mobiles, merchants, artisans, even
peasants-all who have accumulated
few rubles or marks, and who hope
by their industry to accumulate few
more.
We are, then, in America, all bour-
geois-except a few agitators on the
East side of New York and other CEN
tiers of imported discomfort. From
Wilson down to the poorest farmer,
and including Morgan and Rockefeller
and the man who sells apples and
oranges from handcart, we are moth
ing but bourgeois. 81 thank thee, Jew,
for teaching me that word" "Bour-
geois' has become a term of the
highest honor. 1t represents Ameri-
cas- triumphant struggle with the
forces Of nature.

MuItipIies Capacity of Phone Wires.

An achievement more extraordinary
by far than making two blades of
grass grow where one grew before, is
the sending for five telephone CONVEX
sations simultaneously over one pair
of wires where but one conversation
could travel before, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The new invention
also makes it possible to send 40 tele-
graph messages, simultaneously over
one pair of wires, or they can be used
in part for telephoning and in part
for telegraphing. Ten conversations
can be carried on over two pairs of
wires which formerly could be used
for maximum of three conversations
by means of the so-called phantom
circuit" Tests covering several weeks

Miss NELSUIV
LIKELY TO WIN

Bismarck, Jan. 9-Arguments in the

which Attorney General LANCER is
endeavoring to pl;ce Miss Minnie j.
Nelson in the Office of state superin-
tendant G." lie y.ction to sue
coed N. c. -Iacdon..4u, W.lo refused
to surrender the records, were heard
by the supreme court yesterday after
noon.
Attorney i1yland Of Bismarck and
John Carmody Of Fargo represented
Macdonald, while 4. 5. Cox Of the At
torney generals office presented Miss
NELSON'S case. Counsel for Macdon-
aid attempted to set aside the man
damus proceeding and argued the is
sued was presented under the wrong
form and that a quo warranto pro-
ceeding should have been instituted.
Attorney Myland argued that Miss
Nelson was not qualified to hold the
office and thereby her election certi-
fcate from the state canvassing board
was null and void. He claimed her
teacher certificate obtained in 1902 did
not conform to the requirements nee
essary under the existing laws.
Attorney Hyland was reminded sew
eral times by different judges his at
tempt to try the case as to the quail
fications of Miss Nelson under the
mandamus action was not in keeping
with former rulings of the court and
that the state courts had held that
under such proceedings only the fact
was duly elected could be considered.
The court took the matter under adj
visement and decision will likely be
handed down tomorrw. From the
attitude of all of the members Of the
court it was predicted that the findings
would favor Miss Nelson.
Whether or not an action will be in
stituted to test in the courts her quail
ifcations to hold the Office was not
given out last evening"

The editor or the l1IneS-heCOfQ is
beginning to feel a little bit inclined
to the belief that if socialism is grow
ing in the country it is the fault OF the
men who take every occasion they get
to squeeze the farmer and consumer
at every turn Of the wheel, and if this
monopoly business keeps on the next
thing we know we, too, will become
a socialist much as we would dislike
to do so. But it takes radical meas
ures and radical viewpoints once in
awhile to bring about justice and re-
form. Take the matter for instance of
feeds, brans, etc., something that the
farmer must have to feed his stock.
We were talking to prominent
Barnes county farmer this morning
man whose word is absolutely re-
liable-and he said he lost 5000 on a
car of feed over night. While the
government had control of prices bran
was selling for practically $29 per
ton. The milling combine and the
chamber of commerce or whoever has
the regulating of prices Immediately
jumped the price $40 per ton which
was a direct steal if you want to put
it in so harsh term. They were
making a fair profit at government set
prices and there was no call to take
all this graft out of the pockets of the
farmer and consumer. This farmer
we were talking to had a car of feed
shipped in just prior to the govern
ment taking off the regulations. His
neighbors were short of feed and in
order to accommodate them he let
them have q ton here and there out
Of his car to help them out in
neighborly way and sent his own
teams home without load. 1t was a
fine neighborly act. all right, but it
cost that farmer $500 over night be-
cause his other car did not arrive be-
fore the $40 per ton raise went into
effect. Now it is all right to cling to
party lines and all that when condi-
lions are fair, but there is no sense or
reason in men doing big business
grating the people the way they have
been doing along this particular line
we mention, Not only it is being done
along feed lines but in almost every
line and it is no wonder that we have
Bolshevikism and in fact all kinds of
isms these days and there are good
grounds for them. The government
should continue to regulate prices on
these things until the monopolists
have been brought to a realization OF
common decency in profits and until
they can give the common people of
the land a fair show. It is the fault
of these men that we have so much
unrest in the country both from a po
litical and labor standpoint. What we
need is a fair and equitable and per-
manent standard Of wages to enable
the men to live and fair and equit-
able price for all foodstuffs, grains,
etc., so that the farming community
can live When we get these condi-
tions there will be less heard Of Boil
shevikism, socialism and many Of the
other isms that we are now experience
ing. If our line Of talk appeals to
many of our readers as bordering on
socialism we'll and good. We are say
ing Just what we feel and that is one
of cur main points. We are holding
the sack for no set of grafters and all
we want is fair play. There is nothing
fair or just about the way the farm
ers and others have been held up on
the matter Of feed stuff.

REINSTATEMENT IN

quired fitness to perform the duties

terms Of the executive order, man
who has separated from the civil cs-
Establishment to take part in the war

charge from the military or naval SER
vice. It will further be noted that
there is no restriction that the man
must be reinstated in the particular
position from which he was separated
Under the terms of the executive Or
der, he may be reinstated anywhere in
the civil service, provided that at the
time Of reinstatement he has the re-
quired fitness to perform the duties Of

APPROXIMATION

The United States Food Admins
tration tells US that our best efforts
will scarcely avert serious shortage
Of food products, and that starvation
IS imminent in many parts of Europe
and Western Asia.
America and Americans must or
ganize to ward off the possibility OF
famine and do everything that can be
done to relieve this unfortunate sit
uaton resulting from the war. Our
state can supply much of the food
needed, but for proper results the
farms must be worked to their ca
pacity, which will necessitate using
all the help obtainable:
This is where the boys of North
Dakota may have an opportunity to
show the spirit of cooperation which
cfaracterizes true americanism. 1t is
desired that all young men of 16
years and over, not now steadily en-
Dloyed, will enroll for service in main
tairing and upbuilding our indus
tries.
For this purpose and in accordance
with the procla mation Of the Secre-
tary Of Labor, I hereby set aside the
week beginning Monday, January 20.
1919, as Enrolment Week for the
United States Boys Working Reserve,
and have the fullest confidence that
North Dakota's sons will rally at
This call and come to our country's
aid in providing food for those ma
tons that need our help.
