NEVER JUDGE A STRANGER.

Never judge a stranger by his clothes,
Never stamp your verdict on a man
By the grim exterior he shows,
Scaffolds often hide the builders plan;
Fool is he whose wit conceals a barb,
Greatness often walks in common
garb.
Billy was a railroad clerk, selling
tickets day by day,
Knew the time the trains went out,
knew the best and quickest way:
Billy knew a lot of things, for a
youth of twenty-five,
And he rather liked to show other
folks how much he knew.
One day to the counter came in an un-
p%retentious way
One who seemed Of small account,
n whose hair was thin and
gray;
Billy didn't like his looks, didn't like
the clothes he wore,
Sized him up as one he thought not
worth doing favors for.
Billy leaned against the wall, nicely
manicured his nails,
Wasn't interested then in his job OF
making sales;
All the time the old man stood pa
tiently and watched him there,

Tho members Of the uuiversity forcA

the members Of the University forcA
have ever done to aid in bringing
about conditions which will make It
possible for the farmers Of the state
to pay higher salaries. The article
closes with the injunction to the MEM
bers Of the University staff to get
busy and help to remedy the condi-
lions, 80 that their efforts may receive
due recognition.
In other words. let the professors
all join the Nonpartisan-League and
show their faith by their works by
getting behind the Socialist program
and helping to put it over. Then,
having shown that their hearts are in
the right place they may expect to 70
rewarded according to their deserts.
OF course there is nothing new in
this idea. There has been constant
effort to make political agencies of
all the educational institutions in the
state. The fact that these institutions
were established for the purpose of
carrying on the work Of education in
it's various departments has cut no
figure. Men have been proposed for,
and in many cases appointed to edu-
cational positions for the sole reason
that they were expected to prove USE
full politicians. In spite Of the rebuke
that has been given to this policy the
Fargo paper cannot get the notion out
Of its system.
We take it that the people Of the
state expect a professor of geology
to teach geology, and n professor Of
English to teach English. If compe-
tent people are to fill these positions
they must be remunerated on a basis
that will compare fairly with the
needs Of the situation and the customs
of other communities. If a different
policy is followed out institutions will
deteriorate, and educational positions
will be filled with third rate men who
may be quite willing to make up for
their educational deficiencies by 30
litical activity.

FREE SEEDS.

The annual free seed humbug is
agriculture asked for an appropria-
Zen of $23s, 600 for a repetition of
this hUary fake. The appropriations
ebninllttee refused to make any pro-
vision whatever Tor seeds. But the
iuusc in q lit of generosity, not only
provided for as large an appropria-
ssol as the department asked, but
increased it so per cent, making the
appropriation 100000. Unless the
SENATE cuts out this appropriation it
will stand, and the taxpayers Of the
country will pay for the distribution
of a lot of seeds which might just
as well be dumped in the ocean; and
this at a time when the whole
try is clamoring for efficiency and
economy in the management of the
government
The usefulness of the free seed dis
~cribution vanished a generation ago.
At its inception the practice was well
intended, and the method employed
vas probably rs good as any that
could be used under the circum-
stances then existing. The purpose
was not to make donations to any,
me but to bring about a wide dis
%tribution of samples Of new and rare
plants for experimental purposes.
Recipients of such seeds and plants
as We're distributed were expected to
test them carefully and to report the
results. But however good the intent,
the results were negligible. Few re-
ports were ever sent in, and such as
were Sent were Of little value because
there were no proper means for as
certaining the conditions under which
tho experiments were made.
With the establishment Of agri-
cultural colleges and the development
Of experiment station work, whatever
reason ever exists for the general seed
distribution disappeared. For a quar-.
ter of a century the only use that has
keen made of the seed appropriation
las been to enable congressman tc
make little gratuities to their con
xatituents at the expense Of the gov.
d~rnnaent. Many people to whom
seeds are sent have no use for seeds
ssssof any kind, and regular growers will
not bother with them because OF the
uncertainty which exists as to variety
and quality and the ease with which
perfectly reliable seeds IAN be pur.
chased in the ordinary way.

DON,T like ENGLISH.

Madrid, Jan. IAN unexpected
obstacle to the spread Of football and
other. field sports in Spain has arisen
in the shape of protests from peda-
gogues and other language purists,
who are Illuminating against the use
of English words imported with the
sport. They assert the constant shout
ing during the game Of such exclama.
''Hurrah!" in English is having the eff
feet Of spelling the pure Spanish Of
the rising generation. They demand
the substitution Of Spanish terms for
"fopotballista," as the player usually
designates himself, and for all Of the
Other hybrid words forced into the
Spanish language by followers OF the
sport.

caught the CLEAN of q vision.

"Not even Liz" echoed Monte, Bit

l wishI wish babies never had to be
left-without mothers!" Thereupon
had taken shape the determination in
Monies heart to some day have. ten
children whom she would never,
never leave-not for a mor,ent!
Don't forget the fairy godmother,
Monte, n he wand. Some day
she'll turn your old dress into gold
cloth and put a crown upon your
head" Nancy made her tone light;
she could not bear to see the shadow
on the child's face. She jumped
down from the tree. ~7s.r{ :
1--WE just thought of the loveliest
plan! Monte, let's have a party at
Happy Housed"
"a real party?"
Yes. a real party-with lots and
lots to eat! It's too warm for velvet,
but how would you like to wear a
white dress of mine that's dreadrully
small for me? I'm sure Aunt Milly's
clever fingers can fix it over. B'lindy
snail make a cake-like the governor
had. and Aunt Sabrina shall get out
ali the old silver and linen"
Nonie's face said painly that she
could not believe her ears!
"Honest?", she whispered, glancing
toward Aunt Milly.
! well Nancy laughed "of
course. Well have 10 consult Aunt ,Sa-
brina and Aunt Milly and Blindy.
Suppose we cough very loudly-then
Aunt Milly will waken!"
An hour earlier, as Nancy sat in the
Nest making notes here and there
upon her manuscript. the thought of
the party had not entered her head.
But once there, it grew rapidly. Be-
sides. her heart was very light; she
wanted everyone else to celebrate
with her-her play was done! She
had worked day and night; the tiny
shadows under her eyes told that.
But in her exultation n physical
WEAKNESS was forgotten.
IN the still hours of the night be-
Tor n had dashed off a sleepy line
