Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON

My neighbor, Hiram Henry Hicks
is fond of talking politics.; that is a
theme that makes me sore, so Hiram
Henry seems a bore But I'm the sort
lof saphead wight who always strives
to be polite, so I pretend that H. II
Hicks, with all his talk of politics, is
holding me entranced, spell-bound;
do not yawn or rubber round. but
hang upon his throbbing words as
though they we'll might charm the
birds. But when Henry Hicks runs
dry, and ] would talk of books OF
pie, or any topic | adore, he looks upon
me as a bore; he interrupts and
yawps and signs, and hot tears gather
in his eyes, and then he reaches for
his hat, his parasol, brass knucks and
.at, and hastens from my humble
shack-he cannot bear to hear Inc
clack. And Hiram Hicks is short OF
friends; the people shun him as he
wends along the main street of oul
town; he a a bore has wide renown
But when l trip along the street In,
smiled upon by all l meet. This
moral then these facts afford: You
must be willing to be bored if you
would bore the other toff, and talk
his blooming whiskers off.

Dinner Stories

It was washing day and John had
been kept from school to look after
the baby. Mother sent them into
the garden to play but it was not
long before cries disturbed her.
John, what is the matter with
baby. now" she inquired from her
wash-tub
II don't know what to do with
him, mother" replied John. He's
dug hole and wants to bring it into
the house,
A man on the South Side adver-
tised his car for sale. Early the next
morning a man who lived across the
street came over and said: Pardon
me, but l see by last nights paper
| you advertised your car for sale
quite true said the man who ad-
vertised the car, but surely you are
not in the market for it"
| No" was the reply, but l only live
| across the street and l also want to
| sell car. And there would be no
need of my spending my money for
an advertisement if people wero
through looking at your car you could
! just send them across the street to
! look at my car"
He was unaware of the eccentrici
i ties to be found in western Canada
He entered what was apparently the
only hotel in the place.
After ushering him to a table and
giving the stranger the usual glass OF
water the waiter inquired:
Dinner is served, sir. Will you
have sausageS on tOast?"
mo, l never eat 'em!"
"In that case, sir" replied the wait
er, moving away, dinner is over"

Buy Your Coal Early

If the public postpones buying coal as it did
last year, there will be the same inability to OBJ
tain fuel andthe same bowling against profiteer-
ing. 1t was clearly established last year that the
lack of soft coal was not due to the inability of
the mines to produce it, but to the inability of
the railroads to transport it.
There will be coal shortage as sure as fate
this summer and fall, if consumers do not place
their orders now and begin to lay in their supply
for winter.
This is not the statement of operators, but of
Ellis Sear1es, who is editor of the United Mine
Workers Journal. This is the appeal of the min
ers themselves to the American public to buy
coal now while they have the chance.
At present about 100, 900 coal cars are idle.
If the demand for coal were normal, all these
cars would be in operation They would be trav-
cling north and west in long strings, and return
ing to the soft coal fields in large numbers. And
the mines would be working at maximum capac-
ity instead of at less than 40 per cent they
are doing now.
sa" "A coal shortage for 1921 is staring the
American people straight in the face and be-
lieve it is time to the public of the serious
ness of the situation says Mr.. Searles, who
speaks for the coal miners and not for the oper-
ators. ~"And when it comes the people will have
only themselves to blame for it.. Everybody
trary, no one is buying COAL One hundred
thousand coal miners are out of work. Hun
dreds of coal mines are closed down and hun
dreds of others working one or two days a
week. There is no market for soft coal and pro-
auction has dropped to the lowest point since
1914. This means coal shortage later in the
season as fate.
/ A little reflection will make us see this situa-
tion clearly. A miner produce only so much
coal in given time. The output of the mines
cannot be increased beyond this amount. The
railroads can haul only so much. The amount of
coal that can be supplied to the consumers as
can readily be seen, is limited by the ability Of
the miner to produce and the carriers to haul.
Let there be sudden demand for coal, and what
happens?
J. Coal users will rush into the market, frantic
ally bidding against each other, and sending the
price of the fuel to the skies. That's what hap
pened last year. And the railroads, burdened
with the crop movement, will be unable to trans
port the coal from the mine to the distribution
points, causing fuel shortage and intense suf-
fering.
Both the representatives of the miners and

R. Costello,
Editor Courant.
Dear Sir:
Regarding the letter in Courant re-
Gently addressed to DR., E. F. Ladd,
with all due respect to the writer
thereof, his opinion, according to his
own statement is Of little more value
than that Of the layman, his expert
ence having been very limited. Experts
along any given line frequently dis
agree and are very often entirely
wrong. Understand Mr.. Hatfield has
a contract to bring moisture, the other
side Of the line in Canada, and should
his experiments there prove success
full, its not impossible that we may
receive, here, some of the benefits,
gratis. His proposition is as reason
able and sensible as fire, hail or life
insurance, He takes the chances Of
loss, and we pay if we win, and pay
nothing if given number Of inches
Of rainfall does not come. I believe
we should make a contract with him
for the coming fall or 1922 before he
is lined up elsewhere.
Experts and others supposed to pos
sess wisdom are often mistaken-it
was the case in the Martinique disas-
ter, you remember, where experts
were so certain nothing could happen,
that the roads were guarded with sol
diers to hold the people in the city by
force and out of some twenty thous-
and, none lived to tell the tale Of dis
aster except those some distance out
at sea. Those supposed to have wis
dom, were much in error, in the case
Of Columbus in 1492, in the case OF
Orville Wright, and of Moreoni in
more recent years. Might we not bet
ter err on the side of credulity, rath-
er than from the point of view OF
"There amt no sich animile"? or ut
just CANT be DONE" The world is full
of such boneheads but they aren't the

gress we are making. Now are they

Dean Vernon P. Squires of the Col
lege of Liberal Arts of the University
of North Dakota has been secured to
give the commencement lecture, May
27.
Miss Andrews of the high school
faculty entertained the school very
pleasantly few days ago with num-
ber of vocal solos.
On Monday last week the class in
College English furnished number
Of talks on Dickens by the members.
1t was very much worth while to
adjourn last week for two lays for
the professional meeting in Minot.
Those from this part of the country
were obliged to leave Minot Saturday
morning in order to reach home in
time for work Monday and the meet
ings of Saturday, including the busi-
ness meeting, were missed.
Not only'did Bottineau make good
record in that all the teachers went
to the meeting, but also in the 100 per
cent membership report in the N. E.
A. that could be made for our teach
ers. The only other faculty groups that
could make as good a showing were
those of the Minot Normal and the
Minot city schools.
DR.. M. v. O'Shea of the University
Of Wisconsin was the outstanding fig
ure of the convention. He gave three
splendid addresses. They were excep-
tionally good in that they contained
much valuable psychological informa-
fion and were very popular withal. His
lectures all dealt with traits of human
nature with particular application to
the treatment of pupils.
Our State Superintendent Miss Min
ME ]. Nelson, gave very practical
talk on the school situation in North
Dakota from the standpoint of attend
ance as revealed by the reports for
last year. She exhibited a large book
which she called the Book Of North
Dakota in which the reports were
bound. She stated that the number of
children six to twenty years Of age
last year in the state was 203,857.
The number enrolled in the public
schools was 164,176. That means that
39,681 either attend private schools or
higher institutions or are not in any
school. But Of those attending school;
because Of parental indifference or
other reasons, on the average the num-
Der absent from school each day is
23,8O5. This loss through absence
means a total expenditure during the
year Of 1881, ,794.75 for which the
people Of the state receive nothing in
return. It is simply money thrown
away.
