Climate Of South America.

All Of South America north Of Rio

South America, In contrast with North
America, has a remarkably eQuable
climate. IN the northern portion the
intense heat is greatly modified by
the altitude, while the southern por-
tion is free from sudden changes be
cause Of the nearness Of the ocean
and the influences Of the mountains.

But, Dick! What1l We do? We

Winifred was anxious. She knew
from the country that they were a
long way from home, and on an un-
~frequented road. Moreover, she had
accepted Richard Harris invitation
for a motor ride with m~isgivfngs. She
did not like him, and said so; but her
family hoped for a marriage, and had
insisted on her being at least nice to
him. So she had resignedly said Eyes"

During the ride he had not made him

She started at the tone Of his voice.
It seemed that her worst fears were
realized. She tried to stop him be-

"Now, Dick, I've told you that I
don't love you and can't love you. You
know you've asked me many times,
and I've always said no, and always
will. I'm sorry, for I don't want to
hurt your feelings ; but that's all there
is to it."
"Winifred, l know you're just teas

and I'm going to have you" Before

EVIL Conditions in Morocco

The sloth and misery existing
among the men Of Morocco strike one
on every hand, and d correspondent
OF the Associated Press during 4 81
cent tour found evidences everywhere
Of the depths to which the natives
have sunk. The men, for instance,
despise labor Of any kind for the pur-
pose Of making a living. They think
1t good, however, for their w0menfolk,
and see no inconsistency in harness
ing their wives to beasts Of burden.
AT night the men sally forth to rob
in the neighboring settlements, for
they seem incapable Of shaking Of
their inbred love Of theft. Many Of
them, 1t Is said, would murder q close
relative for a silver coin, and It Is GER
tain that, even in circumstances OF
the utmost peril, they will go on THEW
Ing expeditions.

said a number of things herself which
must have been nice things, for Billy

NEXT WEEK is
SAFETY FIRST" WEEK

Monday, November 14th, is the op-
ening day of "Safety First" Week in
North Dakota, SO designated by the
Board of Railroad Commissioners as
a part of their campaign to eliminate
accidents at railroad grade crossings.
Judging from the. letters received by
the Commission, the week will be gen.
orally observed by the people Of North
Dakota. Ministers have advised the
Commission of their intention to ad-
dress their congregations on appropri-
ate subjects; Commercial Clubs will
discuss safety devices, and other bod
les will arrange appropriate meetings.
The Secretary of the jamestown
Commercial Club advises the Commits
sion that Safety First will be the
subject under discussion at their meet
ing Tuesday evening.
The Commission earnestly solicits
the cooperation of all motion picture
Hreatres. The slogan for the week
will be "Stop, Look and Listen" be-
fore crossing a railroad track, and if
the motion picture theatres will run
the slogan on the screen it will add
considerably to the success Of the cam
paign.
The Commission has arranged to
place an exhibit in show windows at
Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Dew
lis Lake and Bicmarck. This display
will be interesting to all.
Considerable literature in the form
Of placards, folders and inserts for
envelopes are now in the hands of the
printer. IA placard win be placed in
every railroad station in North Da-
kota.
There are 1000 grade crossings in
this state everyone of which is more
Or less dangerous. There have been
over $4,000 automobile licenses issued
s. North Dakota, and this number will
~ increased each year. Accidents will
fns1ease ii the same proportion unless
drivers of motor cars awake to the
dangers Of railroad grade crossings.
Stcp, Look and Listen before cross.

How Diseases Are Spread.

How Diseases Are Spread. .
many of the diseases that aflict man
may almost be said to be made by him,
says the United States public health
service, for they are spread almost al
together by his disregard Of the SIM
plest rules Of sanitary living.
Typhoid fever, for instance, is
spread by the contamination Of water,
milk and food by human filth which
has been run into rivers or wells or
left exposed for flies to carry to the
kitchen or dining room, or which even
more disgustingfy, is carried to food
directly from soiled hands.

POTATOES SUCCESSFUL CROP

1OA<AAOG OOSNOo0A W. O
Langdon, N. d. Nov. 9-Striking
Indications Of the success Of the pota-
to crop in this section Of North Dako-
Ia is contained in records of yields at
the Langdon experimental sub-station,
which Louis ~Jorgenson, superintendent
has just announced.
Yields of the various potato varie-
ties this year as compared to last year
are as follows: Green Mountain 221
bushels an acre, as compared to 48
bushels last year; Irish Cobbler 207
compared to %; Rural New Yorker
1872 and 40; and Early Ohio 1872 and
50. King yielded 1856 and Triumph
148 this year at the sub-station. Due
to the long growing season all vari-
ties matured.
Indications point to an increasing
acreage of such cash crops as pota-
toes in North Dakota, which fit in well
with a system Of more diversified
farming than has been practiced in
many, sections in the past. Moderate
increases of this kind are expected to
be valuable aids to the states agricul-
ture.

ALARM CLOCK INSOMNIA CURE

Young Man Some Good Hours
Of Sleep.

"You may think" said the young

That's what I thought until this
week. said the bespectacled youth,
''but now I know different. It was
this way. A week or so ago my alarm
clock was knocked off the bureau,
and as no self-respecting clock can be
expected to stand that sort Of treat
ment, it. refused to work any longer.
Oh, we'll, I thought to myself, I can
get up without an alarm.
my getting up time is 7:15. The
first morning without the alarm I woke
up at SIX o'clock. I looked at my
watch and then turned over for an
other snooze But the thought sud-
denly occurred to me that l might
oversleep. So I lay there tossing
about until It was time to get up.
"The second morning it was 6:15
when I first opened my eyes. I tried
to go to sleep again, but every five
minutes or so I would wake up with
a start and look at my watch. fearing
I had slept too long.
"This went on for almost a week,
and every morning I would wake up a
little earlier. So yesterday in des-
peration I bought q new alarm clock.
I'll have to. live on beans till next
pay day, but it's worth it. Last night
/ had my first good nights rest since
my old alarm clock was broken"

SEE SUICIDE NATIONAL PERIL
influential Japanese Newspapers ExaIt
Christian Idea as to the Sacred
ness of Life.

Suicide, which has always been
prevalent In Japan, is, according to
the Japanese press, even more rife
than ever since the financial crisis In
the Land of the Rising Sun, says the
Literary Digest in a recent issue. The
Osaka Mainichi. which sees peril to
the nation in the prevalence of self
slaughter, acknowledges the excel
lences of the Christian view that sui
eide, instead of being merely an apol-
ogy for failure, is a crime. Many sui
cides in Japan are due to the fact that
the Japanese have less attachment
to life than foreigners" and also to
the traditions of feudal times when
they belittled life.
The Osaka Mainichi says further:
"Death-much more suicide-means
evasion of responsibility :. and
the notion that those who commit sui
eide have the keenest sense of respon-
sibility is wrong. Suicide is the en-
bodiment of egoism and Irresponsible
ty. One of the strong points of the
Christian people is their conviction
that to kill ones self is as criminal
as to kill others"

CHESS COMES EASY TO HIM
Youthful Prodigy Declares There Is
Nothing Wonderful About His
Mastership of Game.

Chess is the easiest game in the
world to me. During the long dull
days of the war my father used to
play all the time with his friends. AT
first / did not understand what the
chessmen were for, and wondered
why father would sit for hours and
gaze at the board with its funny-look-
ing pieces. One day when I did not
want to go out and play l watched
him play his game. l became inter-
ested. l bothered my father so with
questions that he chased me out of the
game as soon as he was through
with his friend. / waited eagerly for
him to get through. He played
practice game with me, and / under
stood every move after that. The
next game we played, beat my father,
who is very good chess player.
There is nothing wonderful about my
way of playing the game. My secre-
tary, Mr.. Azenberg, says that it
comes from reincarnation. A baby
is born with good brains, and they ex-
plain it that way. They say that his
ancestors or some spirits have given
this power to him because so much
ability In one person must have taken
long time to develop. When l play
chess can plan my moves six or sew
en- moves ahead, and most players
can only go three moves ahead of the
game. I can't help it at all. ] was

REALTORS
Reprinted by permission
From The Saturday Evening Post

Probably nine out of ten would be
willing to wager a luncheon upon
their ability to give correct defini-
tion of the word "realtor," and yet
The chances are that eight of them
would lose their bets. The proper
definition is not so obvious as it seems
for all though al realtors are real
estate brokers, not all real estate
brokers are realtors by long shot.
Anyone who doubts the existence OF
a distinction may satisfy himself of its
reality by reference to the records OF
the district court of Hennepin county,
Minnesota.
1t appears that the ward "realtor'
was coined by member of the Nat
ional Association of Real Estate
Boards for the purpose of creating a
distinction between those real-estate
brokers who are bound by the code
of business ethics of this association.
Exclusive right to the use of this
word was confirmed in case in which
telephone company which had been
reouested not to list under the des-
ignation ''realtor" brokers, not mem
bers of the association in question,
was enjoined from so doing.
There is nation wide movement IN
