COMMUNITY DAY

Last Saturday vas Community Day
in Bottineau, but as far as we are
abel to learn no organization took
place. MI. Eastman, who delivered the
principal address, is a good talker =
provided you agree with him which
we do not in all Of the things he said.
Mr. Eastman made the statement at
the opening of his remarks that the
Federated Community Association
was not in politics-for that reason
we will say nothing about it. The
Swiss entertainers sure lived up to
their name and their songs and music
was much enjoyed by those present.

One finds in the world q n oppor-

discomfort, Of anxious and wearisome
labor, just as he furnishes the SELF
to move in the one or the other OF
these spheres. Jesus Christ looked
down upon the world and saw some
thing to save, and died to save it.
Satan looked down upon the world
and saw something to destroy, and
hives to destroy it. Jesus Christ has
given the world a Calvary and a Hea-
ven. Satan has given it a He'll. It is
precisely the same world on which
both MINISTRIES fall, the one to bless,
and the other to blight.
It matters not how strait the gait,
How charred with punishment the

EXERCISE AND FOOD
FOR BROOD sow

The brood sow needs a variety in
her food and exercise. In experiments
conducted at the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College, under the direction
Of Prof. Shepherd, it was found that
sows will readily eat alfalfa hay, and
that when this is fed with a mixture.
Of about half barley and half shorts
at the rate Of 2h pounds daily for a
200 pound SOW, splendid results have
been secured. Equal parts Of barley,
oats and bran or shorts also make q
very good feed. Exercise is also very
important. It was found that the best
way to give the grain feed was to
sweep the floor clean and scatter the
grain feed on it. This results in the
soWs spending hours IN their feet
getting their feed. Observations indi-
cate that sows fed a variety of foods
and given plenty of exercise, are not
likely to produce hairless pigs.

NOUN TO GAME FARM

Z On Monday of this week Adolph
Noun of Carbury was appointed as
keeper Of the Game Farm near this
city to succeed Monte Woods, resigned.
Mr.. Noun needs no introduction to
Bottineau people as he grew to man
hood just north Of this city. He is
familiarizing himself with the require
ments of caretaker and we feel he will
meet with success. Nh. Woods busi-
ness in Bottineau is such that he feels
his time will have to be devoted en-
tirely to it. Mr.. and Mrs. Noun will
move to the Game Farm shortly.

FORESTRY NORMAL NOTES

At Assembly exercises Monday
morning, January rs, Rev. Start Of
the Baptist Church gave q talk on
saThe Building Of a Nation" Cases
were cited showing that during this
country's recent history, an attitude
Of policy and altruism had furnished
US reason to take pride in this portion
Of our history. Our liberality toward
China in the settlement Of the Boxer
uprising, our refusal to accept an in
demnity in the Scapa Flow case, and
our leadership at the Conference Yer
sailles were explained and an appeal
was made that as individuals we
catch for our own lives this fine spirit.
Miss Weiman gave a talk or Col
orado at the Chapel period on Thurs
day, January 20. She stated that, in
choosing Colorado as her subject, she
had first considered using Washing
ton, D. c., her New York City and
finally selected Colorado as the best
subject of all. To her, Colorado holds
more of interest than any other place
with which she had become acquaint-
ed. She reviewed briefly the history
Of the state and described the out
standing attractions found there. Col
orado Springs, her home city for many
years as a teacher and principal in
the school system, received most at
tention, together with Pixies Peak and
the passes and canyons in that neigh
borhood.
A meeting Of all the city teachers
was held Monday this week at the
Normal school. Tea was served and a
professional discussion was held in
the assembly room. Lois Trent, n of
the student teachers, presented a re-
port, with the use of charts, showing
the recent developments in the field
Of spelling. Her charts showed the re-
suits of the use Of the method in the
spelling work in the seventh and
eighth grades. ..
At Assembly exercises Tuesday
morning this week reports were made
by Coach Brown and the members Of
the first and second basket ball teams

THE DEMOCRACY OF
CUSSEDNESS
By DR.. Frank Crane

Tyranny, grating, bulldozing, and swind-
ling are not inherent in any scheme, nor the
exclusive possession Of any class, they are in
herent in human nature.
Any absolute power contains within itself
the seed of abuse.
The more honest man is the more pleas
ed he is to hav his accounts audited and his
dOings watched.
The wicked it is that continue to love dark
ness rather than light.
A good deal of the ratings of one-class at
another are in substance no more than accusa-
ton against that evil nature that is common
to all classes.
For instance, there has been a deal of
talk against capitalists employers gem
orally, that they are tyrannous, selfish, prof.
teering, cruel unjust, and altogether naughty.
Doubtless many of the charges are true.
There are domineering foremen. There are
coldblooded and utterly selfish millionaires.
There are mine owners who permit cond1-
lions of criminal brutality. There are pluto
Gratis who rob he poor.
But all this is not because they have
money. 1t is because they are vicious.
There has recently been uncovered verit-
able cesspooI of scandal in New York in which
there is evidence pointing to bulldozing, graft
ing, double cross and hold-up on the part of
labor leaders and the officials of labor or
CARNATIONS.
All of which goes to show that labor
apostle, placed in position of power, can be
as crooked as any Croesus that owns a bank
any duke that wears coronet.
When the proletariat shall reign we are
going to need common honesty quite as much
as we need it under our present capitalistic
system.
When Lenin and Trotzky replaced the car,
about all that resulted was that the people
had changed masters. And to be pillaged by
Bolsheviki or shot by red guard is no
p1easanter than to be robbed by a grand duke
or killed by policeman.
There is still large part of the race that
thinks what's wrong with the world is It's
systems schemes, institutions, and govern
ments.
1t is mistake. The trouble is with folks.
Cussedness is just cussed when walk
ing delegate holds contractor up for a bride
before he will let him go on with his build
ing as it is when some Wall street wolf loots
railroad.
If capitalism is overthrow and the work
ers have things all their own way, If Gary IS
ousted and Gompers put in his place, ii all
the present big business men are deported
and officers of the Trade Union are substl-
ted will we then have any insurance against
domineering and crookedness?
Nay, nay. Discourtesy, intolerance, vicious
exDloitation egotism, and all the black list
of human hyena traits, are 40 rich man S
luxury All classe can share them
And do.
The rich have no monopoly Of crookedness.

The Potato Of Paradise

TT is interesting to learn from the Farm
I Bureau of the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce that something like a million
bushels of sweet potatoes will be stored IN
Georgia this year in houses which will insure
their preservation. Heretofore immense
quantities have spoiled or lost their flavor
for lack of proper care through the winter
months Thanks to storage rooms con-
structed and heated according to plans which
experiment has proved most satisfactory, it
is no longer necessary for growers to dump
their potatoes on an oVersupplied and under
priced market. This of itself will do much
to promote the fortunes of the delectable
and nutritious tuber. but this is by no means
all.
The secretary Of the Chamber of Com
merce Farm Bureau, Mr.. NJ. c. Gay, re-
Gently spent a fortnight in South Georgia
cooperating with specialists of the National
Department of Agriculture in getting mo-
ton pirtures Of the sweet potato industry.
"This film" he writes in the current num-
Der of the City Builder, will portray seed
selection, propagation, preparation of soil,
planting, cuItivating, harvesting, storing and
marketing, and will be shown throughout the
country" For those who are native to the
sweet potato paradise it is hard to imagine
poor exiles that dwell in ignorance of its
Joys. But such there are, and the Chamber
Of Commerce could do no more thankWorthy
or profitable work than to enlighten them.

WATCHING AND WISHING
BV II. AddinqtOn Bruce

BY II. AddlngtOn Bruce
| T%HERE is a group of educators who,
rightly enough, emphasize the i'm
portance of doing a thing for your
self if you really would learn to do it we'll.
Learn by doing" is their slogan, and it is
undoubtedly good slogan.
But it's helpfulness would be distinctly
lessened if it were understood-as it some
times seems to be understood--to mean that
learning by doing is the only sound way of
learning. Whenever possible, indeed, learn
ing by doing should be preceded by learn
ing by lstening,' and, still more, learn
ing by watching"
man, for example, purposes to learn how
to use a typewriter. Will he best learn this
by sitting down at the machine and labori-
Ously familiarizing himself with its mechan-
ism?
Will it not be far wiser for him to read
a book of instructions, listen to directions
given him by some one already familiar with
typewriting machines, and watch a good OPP
orator at work before he so much puts a
finger to his machine himself?
Learning by watching," of course, should
soon be follOWe by learning by doing" And
it facilitates the latter in proportion the
learner has a good model to watch.
For learning by doing unaided is pretty
sure to mean the formation of faulty habits
of doing, which have to be painfully I'M
learned if any high degree of skill is ever
watching of good model tends to give the
beginner good working habits from the out
set.
Observe however, that I use the word
''attentive."
There are ways and ways of watching.
There is but one right way Of learning by
watching" and that is through concentration
of attention on the models movements.
And concentration comes only when one
wills-that u.s. intensely wisnes--to concen-
trate. So that learning by wishing" is fun
damental to learning by Watching, just as
the latter should be recognized as funda-
mental to really efficient learning by do
ing"
1t is forgetfulness of these facts that &C
counts for much of the incompetency and in
efficiency so painfully in evidence today.
Men have thought that they could make
themselves experts simply by doing thing
again and again. Or, approaching the i'm
portance of watching a model they have
been Indifferent as to the excellence of the
model chosen.
Or yet again, choosing good model, they
have watched 90 short time or with in
attentive mind. Faulty working habits are
the almost inevitable consequence, and the
acquisition of skill is thus lamentably post
poned, if not forever frustrated.

almost wholly composed of glass. Sometimes
ten twenty separate bungalows are built
about flower-trimmed court, and run on
the apartment house principle, with hot wa
ter and heat supplied from a central plant
in charge of the superintendent.
With the exception of the servant problem,
which is particularly acute in California, the
upkeep of home here is a comparatively
simple matter. 1t is, in most cases, small and
compact, requires little fuel, owing to the
gentle nature of the climate, and it's table
can be supplied at surprisingly little expense.
Food, especially fruits and fresh vegetables,
are cheap compared to prices in the east,
while the outdoor groceries in which they
are sold make marketing almost agree

Then, there is always the cafeteria to fall
back upon when housekeeping loses itr Zeas-
These institutions are gradually spr1ng1ng up
throughout the entire country, but the true
cafeteria with orchestra and comfortable
leather-chaire1 lobby is still produced ez-
clusively on the Pacific coast. In such one
it is actually difficult to spend more than 80
cents for a meal, and any check over dol
lar brings grunt of surprise from the cash
girl.
Thus, those who are weary and heavy-la-
den with long, cod winters and nerve-rack1ng
activity, find a peace and comfort in Los
Angeles, which change heir very facial ex-
pressions The whole atmosphere is easy

it is these adopted sons who outrival even
the natives in shouting the praises of Cali

can tell you, the pot Of gold at the end Of
the rainbow,
