Drop Is Too Great.

When your correspondent ques-
toned Thomas Cooper, Dean of the
College of Agriculture. in regard to
the recent drop in the prices of hogs
aud cattle. he said:
THE general public does not
seem to realize that the recent slump
IN hogs and cattle represents de-
crease of 10 to 30 per cent of the
prices paid a few weeks ago, This
difference in price means the loss Of
millions of dollars to the farmers of
the country. The great danger of
this tremendous decrease where
there has been practically no de-
crease in the cost of labor. imple-
ments, materials, clothing and other
necessities. lies in the possible cur
tailment of food production and in
tine encouragement of agriculture
This whole matter is often con-
sidered merely a farmers problem,
but it is one which the whole country
must help solve. During the war
the farmer was urged to increase his
production enormously. II pro-
duction is to be maintained he must
have prices which are at least on a
comparative level with the prices he
has to pay for everything he must
buy. The consuming public must
realize that a proper level of COM
parative prices should be maintained
as the world must eat an6 the farmer
is the only person who produces
food "

When Henry Minor was about to
Join his finance at Hymen's altar,
he made the horrifying discovery
that he had forgotten the wedding
ring, The only way out of the diff
ficulty was to borrow one from the
wife of a friend. but had Henry
rTnown what troubles he was invit-

tails at any cost so that he might
return to his room and get his own
bridal ring, which lay on his bu-
reau.

OF his own estimate Of the future OF the drama. In q
way photography has played havoc with the spoken
Arama. The moving picture has brought the drama Of
action and expression within the reach Of millions-+o
whom good art Of any kind was unattainable, and in
that 1t has performed a great service. In a measure it
has counterbalanced this good by tempting the public
to waste its time on the cheap and tawdry. Shall we

that there is in the moving picture, and eliminating its
less desirable presentations aa obstacles to the full en-
joyunent and appreciation of that most glorious Of all ex-
presstve organs, the human voice? 1t will be interesting
to know what Frederick Warde thinks about it.

MONDAY EVENING, JULY rs. 1919.
THE BANK OF NORTH DAKOTA

The Bank of North Dakota is now in operation. 1t
has announced certain of its bonds for sale. has de-
manded the deposit Of all public funds to its credit, has
invited individual deposits from abroad, and has de-
clared itself in readiness to make farm loans.
The farm loan feature was the one which made the
plan attractive to very many people, and which was en-
phaszed in placing its advantages before the public.
The prospect of borrowing money at lower interest rates
was attractive to all who wished to borrow, and the
prospect of being able to borrow at any rate was partic-
ularly attractive to persons who wished to borrow and
found themselves unable to get loans on any terms
AS the managers of the bank see it now they will
be able to loan money on first class farm security at
q net interest rate of 6 per cent, and the plan is to pro-
vide for an annual payment of Z per cent, the additional
l per cent being applied to the liquidation OF the prtn-
cipal, which will be accomplished in something over 30
years. This will he a shock to those who have been ex-
pecting farm loans from the state bank at I per cent or
less, and it will be particularly shocking to those who
happen not to have any security to offer, but who have
expected that through the exercise of some mysterious
powers the state officials would be able to loan money to
all corners. without the formality Of security. and thus
to give the poor man a chance. 1t appears after all that
to borrow money one must be a person of some sub
stance. and must give satisfactory guarantees that he
will pay it back with interest. A man has always been
able to do business with private loan1ng agencies on that
basis.
In other respects, according 10 the announcements
the policy of the new bank involves no sensational de-
parture from existing practice. The bonds Of the insti-
tuition will be sold for what the public is willing to pay
for them. A tentative figure has been set, but if inves-
tors do not find that figure to their liking it must be
changed or the state must keep its bonds. The mar
Reliability of bonds Of the Bank of North Dakota at a
given rate will depend upon how nearly that rate coin
cides with the prices at which other sound investments
are available in the open market. Interest on deposits,
we are told, will vary with varying business conditions.
but is expected to be- about 4 per cent. Again we have
the adoption Of familiar Wall street methods.
There is. of course, one important difference between
the state bank and a private institution. The state bank
can, if it chooses. pay high interest rates and collect low
rates. run up a big expense account and collect the short
age from the taxpayers. The private institution has no
taxpayers to fall back on.

Frederick Warde is not the first man, nor the great
et, TO have spent fifty years on the stage, but the pub

sympathetic interest in the development of dramatic art,
and in the development of the public conception Of It.
Warde was the contemporary Of some of the worlds
greatest actors. and himself stood well in the front rank
among them. When he had attained some measure of
prominence. Irving was almost unknown, and Bernhard
entirely so. Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett were his
friends. He witnessed Mansfield's rise to fame, and
Modjeska and Nazimova were among his familiars. Louis
James, who always remained a boy, was for years his
companion and partner. and scores of others. whose
OF dramatic work played their parts upon the mimic
stage and in the great drama of life.
In the half century the stage has undergone a won
derful transformation. Originating though it did in the
great religious festival and the popular merrymaking,
the stage was long under the ban as a minister to the
baser passions and evil tendencies Of mankind. And
doubtless the stage has deserved many of the severe
things that have been said of it. But through the years
there remained a few who were great not only in art
but in character who were able to maintain the spark
oblivion into which it seemed destined to sink. During
Warde's time a new day dawned on the drama, and a
new recognition was given it, and he had lived to see 1t
take its place among the honored professions, an almost
universally recognized agency for public good.
It will be interesting to read Mr.. warde's statement

part OF the responsibility by keeping
their individual working places safe.

THE ADMINISTRATION BOARD

According I o announcement just maze, the three
appointive members of the new administration board
which is to have charge Of the educational, corrective
and charitable work Of the state are Messrs. Casey.
nence in 1916 as its single Democratic candidate for
state office who was picked by Mr.. Townley for Non
partisan league endorsement, and who was obediently
endorsed as per program. His position on the Demo
cratic ticket was found 10 be a disadvantage, as he was
defeated in the fall election. He has kept in touch with
the organization, however, and has been on the waiting
list for something good, and he was cared for tenn
porarly on the board of control. Mr.. Totten is 4
preacher and a politician, and is better known in the
latter capacity. He has become known more for pas
sonate utterance than for calm deliberation or for ad-
ministrative ability, and his career has been a stormy
one. He was one of Governor Frazier's appointees ON
the board of regents. whose functions are now taken
over by the new board. Mr.. Muir is a quiet gentleman
Of retiring disposition between whom and the governor
there is a close personal friendship of long standing, and
it was understood that it was because of this friendship
that he was placed on the board Of regents.
These three men. with the governor and Miss Mel
son, the state superintendent of public instruction, will
constitute the new administration board. They will have
complete charge of the educational work of the state,
elementary and advanced: Of the penitentiary and re-
formatory: Of the insane asylum. blind institute, and OF
all other institutional work.
Miss Nelson was elected by a majority of some
1000 to be state superintendent Of public instruction. in
the expectation that she would. have personal super
vision Of the educational work which was then within
the jurisdiction of that office. Under the new arrange
ment the work which she was elected to perform will
be under the direction of a beard of five members, none
of the other four having been chosen by the people for
that work. and all Of them being closely identified with
an aggressive political combination which has made Bit
ter factional and partisan warfare on Miss Nelson. BY
a political trick. therefore, Mr.. Townley and his friends
have succeeded to all intents in removing Miss NELSON
from the office to which the people elected her.
Further, while Miss Nelson's position as q minority
member will permit her to act only on sufferance of the
other members, she has technically been placed in a
position to which she was not elected, and duties have
been imposed on her which she was not chosen to per-
form. The people did not elect her to exercise control
ever convicts or detectives. She was elected to conduc.
educational work, to have full authority over it. to be
responsible for it. and for no other work.
