HOW DO YOU SAY IT? By (. N. Luyie Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them
"Who,s "wHom," AND (WHICH"

THE relative pronouns, "whO." \ "whom." and whose" should be used only in speaking or writing Of persons; when reference is made to animals or inanimate objects. the proper usage requires the use of which and "of which," (But, whose" may be used instead of "of which" when the use of the latter ex- pression makes the phrase or sentence awkward or harsh)
 Do not say, Those which say 30 are mistaken" Say, Those who say so are mistaken" Do not say, He has some friends which know" Say, He has some friends whom l know"
 It is curious to note that pr. Sam uel Johnson, the famous English writer of the eighteenth century. and compiler of the standard dictionary Of his time. was guilty of this error. In his novel, "Rasselas," he said: Ere quently every fowl whom nature has taught to dip the wing in water" h. s.ead C. whom" he should have writ ten which"

 Mir. Fox should have known that a mother would give her own life to save her children, but as he was bachelor he knew nothing about such things, so he took up the bag and started back.
 When he reached the place where he had found her he let Madam Hen out, but he took good care to hold her by one leg while he tied string to her before he let her go.
 elf you make a sound," he told her, '0ff comes your head"
 But Madam was not thinking of making any noise. She had another plan, and if it worked off would come MT. F0x's head perhaps, so she led him quietly back Of the barn to an opening and let him look in.
 Sure enough. there was the nest witt the eggs. "Go in," said NIT. Fox, am in she went and h0pped on the nest
 MT. Fox saw an opening at the othe e@G of Madam Hens hiding plac but he thought nothing of that All h noticed was that the place was filled with hay, so he held the string and told Madam Hen he would wait right there until the eggs were hatched.
 He did wait for few minutes and then as he poked in his head again to see if she were safe Mir. Fox saw crawling through that other opening Mir. Dog. Mir. Dog saw him and right through the place he came, pushing Madam Hen in his hurry nearly off her nest. Out he bounded, and after Mr. Fox he flew, for Mir. Fox had dropped the string fastened to Madam Hens leg and forgot III about the chickens.
 Madam Hen had made her nest h Mir. Dogs house at the very back where the old boards had broken away and hole in the fence made another door to his house, 50 no one but Mr Dog knew her secret, and, feeling he must take good care of her, he looked in many times during the day to see that all was well.
 Madam Hen knew if once she could get back on the nest she was saved, and her plan worked out just as she had expected it would.

WHEN MADRID IS GAY
Presence of King in Town Cause
 of Wonderful Spectacle.
Brilliant Daily Display in the Palace Yard as the Guard Is
 Changed.

Madrid.-More color is to be seen in the palace yard of Madrid when King Alfonso is in residence than IS to be found In any other part of Spain. The military spectacle alone IS brilliant, with the striking uniforms of red and blue hussars, the dark blue or the artillerymen and the red tr0H- Sers and blue tunics of the infantry as the old and new guards face each other at 10 o'clock, with the flags un- furled in the center and the two regi- mental bands drawn up in circles play ing martial airs.
 The customary brilliant sunshine makes the fixed bayonets and un- slleathed swords flash In the air as the various units carry out the smart mili tary exercises.
 Thousands of civilians, mostly vlsi- eincts of the palace to watch the spec tacle. Numbers of them are from the Spanish provinces, and their bright Shawls and scarves mixed with the more prosaic dress Of the Madrllenians form fit setting to the bright pie ture.
 Further details are added by the ftinerant vendors of peanuts and hot butter rolls and other delicacies loved by the children, who under the eye of their nursemaids in their pictur- esque costumes of varied hues run hither and thither.
 Sometimes the king himself comes out on the balcony to salute his guard and then all is hushed while he faces the regimental flags, and after bow ing his head raises his hand to his kepi.
 The picture Is on view for abont au hour every morning.

THE IMMEAsURABLE LOSS

What has thou lost, o Earth, in these
thy dead,
Scattered like leaves upon the battle
j. plain?
What hast thou lost that will through
time remain,
Remembered even when Wars last
bolt is sped?
The fires are quenehed in countless
happy homes,
Widows and orphans fill the world
with wee;
The blind and MANNED like shadows
come and 60, !,
Yet even for these, at last, oblivion
comes.
This is thy loss Unreasonable great
The brave white souls that held life's
standards high.
IN splendid bodies, like young gods
elate,
Who with their lives unlived went
forth to die,
Their unhuilt homes, to wife and child
denied
Unhappy Earth, this lost thou, when
they died.
-Ninette n. Lowater.

What About the National Wheat
Growers?

We have been asked what attitude
we would take towards the National
Wheat Growers, should they attempt
to organize in Emmons county. Our
answer is this: We do not want any,
thing to do with them for the simple
reason they do not submit workable
plan for marketing the wheat success
fully. They tell you to to hold your
wheat for So. 90, and take your So. 90
membership fee, and that's about all
there is tc it. Well, goodness knows
all farmers who can, are holding their
wheat now, anyway, and no one can
foretell what the price will be next
spring. Furthermore, even if the Ma
tional Wheat Growers did have fea-
sible plan of marketing, they are only
duplicating the work of 'The Commit
tee of IT," which is poor policy.
There is such thing as over-organi-
zation, too. This committee is work
ing on system of marketing which
will do away with these terrible fiuc-
tuations.

TOWNLEY MANAGER MUST GO
TO PRISON

The United States Supreme court
Monday affirmed the ruling of Mime
:ota Supreme court and the District
court of Goodhue county, convicting
Joseph Gilbcrt, former manager Of
he Nonl'artisan league, of violating
the state laws prohibiting interfer-
,nce with recruiting.
AS result of the affirmation of
the conviction by the highest court
of the nation, Gilbert must serve one
year in Jail and pay fine of $500,
the sentence imposed by the District
court of Goodhue county when he was
convicted in May, 1918.
Gilbert, with two other nonparti-
san league organizers, was indicted
by the Goodhue county grand jury in
March, 1918, on the charge of sedi-
tious utterances tending to discour-
age enlistments in the United States
forces in the World War.
He was tried early in May the same
year and found guilty. An appeal
was taken to the State Supreme court,
where the judgment of the District
court was affirmed in December, 1918,
but stay was granted pending an
appeal to the United States Supreme

X. p. NOTES

The local lodge of Knights of Pyth-
las held very successful conven-
tion on last Thursday evening.
The evene of the evening was, of
course, the trip which seventeen
Neophites started over the burning
sands of the desert, on which trip
they were ably assisted by the
Knights who had won their Spurs be-
fore.
After the ceremonial of the rank
of Page there was a social session
which was greatly enjoyed by all
present. Addresses were made by
representatives of the Supreme Lodge,
of the Grand Lodge of the Domain of
North Dakota, and from officers and
members of lodges in Mandan, Bis
marck, Winnipeg, Can, Albany, N.
Y, Fargo, and from our sister town,
Hazelton.
This Thursday evening the Rank of
Esquire will be conferred upon a class
and Of course there will be plenty do
ing, and large attendance is predic-
ted at this convention. The cold
weather seems to put all sorts of vim
into the traditional goat and, without
doubt, he will be in good shape to
attend to his part in the ceremony.
Among the out-of-town visitors
present were: Supreme Representative
R. l.. Best, Grand Vice Chancellor
Bowers, Past Grand Prelate Capt.
Bclk, Past Chancellor Kennedy, Chan
cellor Commander Dow, Chancellor
Commander FORSTER, Past Chancellor
Armstrong, Past Chancellor Lenhart,
Veteran of 80 years, Hendrix, and
others.
The refreshment committee did
itself proud, and won it's way to the
hearts (and stomachs) of all those
present.
The coming winter will be a busy
and enthusiastic one in Pythian cir
cles. Any Knight absent at
meeting will certainly be missing
something.

Farm Bureau to Prc.ect From Over
Taxation

President Howard and others are
right on the job. The American
Farm Bureau is making forceful eff
forts to revise the federal tax law.
AS result, The Ralsto- Nolan bill,
with its billion dollar tax, on farm
land may never blossom. This is
also true Of. the proposed tax of one
per cent on sales of all commodities,
both wholesale and retail-a tax
which would raise billions of dollars
revenue-a large proportion of which
would have to be borne by farmers.
Oh, one thing more-when the
Committee of II" has developed a
plan for marketing, this plan will be
submitted to all state federations of
farm bureaus, and these in turn will
submit the plan to county, farm bu-
reaus for a referendum vote.
Wouldn't you like to have vote on
this all-important matter? Then join
the farm bureau.

Farmers in Iowa Worse of than Far

Farmers in Iowa Worse of than Far
mers in N. D.
Westfield farmers, who have visited
in Iowa, recently, report that they saw
field after field of corn unhusked.
Renters found it utterly impossible to
pay the high cash rents at the pres
lent prices of farm products, and re-
fused to even harvest the crop. When
landlords would come around for their
rent, renters would say: "Tnere's your
crop; go and get it if you want it .:
At Cedar Falls Normal, 25 girls,
daughters of formerly well-to-do far
mers, had to return home because the
farmers could not raise money on
their crops to keep them in school.
Land prices are terribly inflated, and
consequently cash rents so high, that
Westfield farmers think that many
Iowa people who are, able to, will
come to North Dakota, and get some
of this reasonable priced land.

produce for own consumption; as it
is now we ship to Minneapolis and get
robbed, then ship flour back, and get
twice robbed" I looked up our aver
age expectations and divided it by our
per capita, and wondered NJ longer
that we are mighty people. We
eat over ten tons of -four alone, ev-
cry year, every soul of us!
The only thing that worries me is
this: If we get more than market
price for our wheat, and at the same
time buy our flour a great deal
cheaper, how is the state mill to break
even? And if it doesn't break even
it seems inevitable we will have to
make up for the deficit in a special
tax levy. I am so. thickheaded just
as soon pay IS per year more for
-four as IS per year more in taxes,
with good prospects Of the tax being
$40.
But am foolish and stubborn, and,
more than once, more progressive peo-
pie have intimated that my absence
would be beneficial to this section. II
I were sure of this I would leave, but
unlike my intelligent, cocksure neigh
bors, l confess that I-don't-know.

Very few of these homes were des-
tined for poor people, but were most
ly being built at state expense for the
more prominent and wealthy people OF
Bismarck and Fargo.
These home-building activities al
ready have helped to put the Bank of
North Dakota in the hole it's in.
Liquid public funds have been tied up
here, as we'll as in farm loans, loans
to state institutions, terminal eleva-
tor and mill project, and loans to
favored banks. Only through sale
of bonds should any Of these financing
enterprises have been undertaken. Al
the time such steps were taken up
bank authorities perhaps had little ex-
pectation that they might be called
upon by the various subdivisions of
the state to produce the money be-
longing to each. Hence, they used
these funds for other purposes than
they were collected for. Now, with
lot of open-account funds tied up
in permanent enterprises, the bankers
Of North Dakota are being called
upon to help pull the Bank of North
Dakota out of the hole the admins
ist~ation has put it in.
The action just taken by the in
dust.ial commission to stop the home
building activities should have been
