AMERICAS FRUIT, THE APPLE
People Are Beginning to Show 1t
proper Appreciation, and Crop
Should Be increased. !

Americans are coming to treat ap-
ples more as food and less az
between meals superiority than they
used to do, yet when the north wind
blows and the Preside gsows they
can't refrain from paying especial at
tention to the question whether there
is plenty of them. This year. the
farm reports tells us, there is not
There are, in the whole country,
1.O91, 900 barrels fewer than there
were in 1913, apd almost the same
shortage from the crop Of 1916.
though we are considerably better or
than we were in 1917. That is. we
have 24,OWOOO barrels this year,
That's about one for each family in
the country. and each family, not each
member thereof, might, If they were

he should not.
1t is not especially cheering to
learn that the cOuntry'S crop or APP
ples does not tend to increase. Our
record crop was in 1912, but we had
almost as many in 1896, and the crop
in 1898 was greater than that IN
either of the past four years. But
the apple is Americas fruit. the most

LAST FRAGMENTS OF EMPIRE
Romance in Disappearance Of Red
Dots From the Map Of West
ern Canada.

A map Of western Canada kept In
the offices Of the Hudson Bay COM
pany in Winnipeg is sprinkled with
tiny red dots. Two centuries and
half of romance and history focus in
ihese little red dots.
When the Hudson Bay company In
1870 surrendered to Canada the vast
territory granted to- it py Charles II
of England, it retained 0ne-tWentieth
Of all the land in the fertile belt" Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
Detween. the North Saskatchewan
river and the international boundary.
This uae-twentieth WAS distributed
throughout every township and each
Of these red dots Oh the map repre-
sents an area of from 100 to GAO
acres.
These lands are today just as they
were when the cosnpanyS~ first forts
we're erected on Hudson bay. They
are just as they were when the but
falo pastured upon them and Indians
aud trappers shared or shot fur-bcar-
Ing animals in this domain half
century ago.
Though now surrounded by farms,
they have never been touched by
pillow. They are still islands OF
primeyal soil in the midst Of rich
farming districts.
The little red dots are disappearing
one by one from the map. Each one
that disappears means that the land
It represents has become a settlers
farm. All he dots represent 3WW'-
600 acres.
The company is rapidly disposing OF
all it's remaining land to settlers.
When the last dot disappears from
the map, the last fragment Of Hudson
Bay company's old empire will have
disappeared from the North Ameri-
can continent.

BALLOTS GIVEN
ALL PRECINCTS

Bismarck, N. D., March 16.-Secre-
tary of State Hall today declared the
implication which appeared in the
Courier News on Sunday to the ef-
feet that some counties might not
have their ballots in time for today's
election, because of some apparent
chicanery upon the part Of the secre-
tary of state in absolutely without
foundation in fact
This is merely an effort upon the
part Of the league to prepare an
alibi in advance said Mr.. Hall to-
day. "The Towner county election
convinced the leaguers that they
cannot always rely upon fake biz
yards, inasmuch as citizens usually
have long memories for such matters.
furthermore, when this publicity
campaign was devised downin Far
20 last Saturday it didn't look much
as though we were going to have
blizzard today. So, to build ground
work upon which excuses later could
be based, should the league lose in
the primaries, Bishop Lemke's paper
by innuendo, endeavors to make it
appear that many of the rural pre-
cincts have not been supplied with bal
lots.
"My first hint Of this plot came
| Saturday, when Governor Frazier, all
out of breath, rushed into my Office
with the declaration that he had just
been advised that not half the coun-
try precincts in Richland county had
been supplied with ballots. I at once
got the county auditor of Richland
on the phone, and he informed me
that the sheriff had that morning
completed the delivery of the last
of the ballots and that very precinct
had been fully supplied.
Confronted with the facts, the
governor admitted that he had not
gained his information from Rich
Hand county, but from Fargo, which
means that. it came from league
headquarters, the source of most Of
| the governors inspiration There
has. been some delay, it is true, be-
cause we have had twice as many
ballots to print and Distribute as
lever before, and for the further
reason that litigation held us up for
! three days after the nominations
were closed. But in spite of these
handicaps, excellent time was made
with the printing and shipment of
the ballots, and every precinct in
\ North Dakota has been supplied in
ample time, although not in every
instance five days in advance of the
r date Of the election, as our laws re-
j. quire." ~.

NEEDS THE TEACHERS
The COUNTRY

Teacher shortage due to insufficient
pay is being brought before the people
continually by the foremost publica-
tions of the country. Quoting from
such magazine Literary Digest) we
have this: "The business world is
bidding for our best teachers and get
ting them. We must set the current
the other way. Unless we have some
thing with which to pull against the
commercial competition we can never
do this It is not that the teachers do
not love their work3-they simply can
not stand up under the present pres
sure."-Dr. Ettinger, City Superin-
tendent of New York schools.
Jacob Thebald, q New. York Tribune
writer comparing teachers with I'M
skilled laborers. says: -.
"This snow labor shortage is but a
matter of days. Not so the teacher
shortage. Each rising sun sees the
situation growing rapidly worse.
Teachers are leaving in large num-
bers than they are coming in, and the
number preparing for teaching in neg
ligible.
"Teachers can not be trained over
night any more than nurses, lawyers,
and physicians can be so trained. Let
down the bars as the Mayor proposes;
remove them altogether, it you will;
economic laws will still limit the sup.
ply Men and women will not spend
fourteen or fifteen years at school to
prepare themselves for job that will
pay them 400 year less to start with

Ancient Grains Do Not terminate.

The United States department OF
agricultural gives hard knock to the
stories about the termination Of
wheat and other cereals found
wrapped with ancient Egyptian num-
mics. 1t says that close investigation
proves all such reports to be fictitious.
French tests show that grain more
than a few years old will not germi-
nate. Tests indicate that when seeds
are kept under idea, conditions. wheat.
barley and oats may germiuate up to
eight or ten years, but few II any
grains are alive after 20 years.

| DR.. EYES DISCUSSES
MEAT SITUATION
He Says if Radical Criticism IS
Acted Upon There Will be
Much Needless Waste.

II. p. Ewes, former state veterinarian, n
of the opinion that much OF the proposed
legislation devised for the purpose OF bar
ring from sale in this city meat from all
tuberculosis cattle is too radical. In
many cases, he says, it would be sheer
waste of food to destroy meat against
which this legislation is aimed, as much
meat is perfectly wholesome for food
al do not understand this cutlery
against meat that has been passed by the
federal inspectors" he said, today. CAS- a
rule it is all right Some people are acting
like madmcn in their extreme criticism.
/ don't approve Of it, In the end We must
depend on the federal inspector, and as
he knows his work and is considered
trustworthy, there is no reason why we
should accuse him Of passing meat Tor
food that is unfit for human consumption.
IL think the whole trouble comes from
the fact that the public is just finding out
that mat from tubercular cattle ~ being
placed on the market. But right here
there is n misconception OF conditions ns
they exist. COW will react TO the tuber-
culosis test if il has the slightest talnt
of tuberculosis in its system, yet the
disease probably has not reached stage
that makes it's flesh unfit for food. When
meat was placed on the market from any
old kind OF cattle without federal inspec-
ton, why, this cutlery seems rather
foolish, now when all meat is rigldly IN
spected by competent inspectors.
This criticism of meat passed by the
inspectors IL like a SNOWFALL. 1t began
small and is accommodating size and force
"a il progresses II began in the state
inspection Of herds and condemnation
of cattle which react 20 the tuberculosis
test He heretofore an animal was not
condemned unless il gave visible signs
of disease The test now shows the slightest
tendency to tuberculosis that exists
in the system, and the COW or steer IL
ordered killed To destroy meat that Is
not really diseased is a sinful wastelin my
opinion.
This meat that has been attacked by
the critics ma being unwholesome IL being
used all over the country as food. 10
bar it here would be going further than
other States go"
