THE BUMPS.
There's no level road to the goal you
seek,
No easy path to the fame you crave
There are grades to make, there are

And life finds out if a man is brave,
1t never assumes from the smile he

When his sky is clear and his heart
is light,
That a man has grit. but it waits a
To see how he acts in a losing fight,
Life gives no medals to tawdry worth,
Nor laurels an undeserving brow;
1t puts up a test for a fellows best
And sounds the depth Of his faith
somehow.
When there's nothing to fear and
there's little to do
A coward can vow that he'll never
finch,
But life wants to see just how brave
When the claws of trouble begin tc
pinch
The years roll by with their JOY and
pain
To filter the brave from the timid
hearts.
And the hills sublime are hard tc

Though the road seems smooth
where the journey starts
There is much to bear ere you reach

Sorrow and anguish must there be

But faithful he. for life waits to see
Just how you stand to the bumps

TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. Fl. 1sz
H NOT NAME HIN:

Under the two-column caption the
Fargo Courier-News displays promi-
nently an article which it says Is to
appear in the North Dakota food
bulletin which is now In press, and
which is published under the direction
Of DR.. Ladd. The article describes
q crime which it says was committed
by a Fargo merchant against a curly
headed boy aged five or six, which
crime consisted in selling to the boy
three prunes for five cents, when &C.
cording to the writer Of the article,
they cost the merchant only one and
0ne-half cents.
On the strength of this alleged fact
the writer launches into a TRADE
against the merchants of Fargo, say
ing, among other things:
You retailers of Fargo who are
charging 20 cents a dozen for Italian
prunes (and there are many of you)
stand up and take what's coming your
way"
The article bristles with such words
rs parasite. "robber,' "holdup,"
profiteer,' and so forth.
All very well. But are there no
decent merchants. in Fargo? II there
are the article is q little rough on
them, for by singing out a single
case and failing to name the offender,
and by the direct statement that there
are many such retailers in the city,
the writer at once places every grocer
in Fargo under suspicion.
There are too many of these blanket
charges made. E1tortion is a per-
sonal, individual matter. 1t is COM
mitted. if at all, by some particular
individual. The person who has a
complaint to make, and information
on which to base it has 40 right to
libel a whole community or an entire
group il order to make known the
facts concerning a particular offense.

PEANUT GROWS IN FAVOR,
Knoxville Sentinel.


There is wealth in peanuts for
southern states. Fortunes have al
ready been made out of this highly
oil-producing nut. Imports of more
than SAC, 900 worth of peanuts
and peanut oil in a single year are
the new records for the United States,
despite the fact that it is one of the
worlds biggest producers of peanuts.
This phenomenal record grows. out of
the new world demand for food oils
to take the place Of animal fa.s. For
several years we have been importing
large quantities of certain food oils,
especially those produced from the
cocoanut, of the which the quantity
imported has grown from $4,000, 900
pounds in 1914 to 1885, 900, 900 in
1918. while the value of all vegetable
oils imported jumped from $4,000
900 in 1914 to 1923, 0OO, 900 in 1918,
and approximately $140,0 90, 900 in
1920.
But it was left to the humble pea
popularity in supplying vegetable fats
in the fiscal year 1920, and the guam
tity of peanut oil imported into this
peanut-producing country Of ours
was in the 10 months ending
with April. 1920, 10000 900 gallons
against less than 5000, 900 in the cor
responding months of last year, and
less than 1000, 900 in the year pre-
ceding the war. Not only was there
an enormous increase in the quantity
| of oil imported, but there was also q
corresponding increase in the impor-
tation of peanuts. Of which the i'm
ports in the 10 months ending with
April, 1920, were valued at $40, O00,-
900 against less than $1,000, 900 in the
same months of 1919. Most of the
nuts and Oil come from Japan and
In lesser quantities from China.
The bureau of crop estimates puts
the total farm value of the peanut
crop Of the United States in 1919 at
8 1000. 900.
