English Lingo?
No! "United States''

The English language is undergoing
a change, even in England; but in
America the change is rapid. What
was once styled as slang is good
American today. Peoples from all
lands have added to our vocabulary,
and the Indians also have passed along
a number of words; so that American,
while it is called English, is some
what different from English as it is
spoken in England. In England even
the language is murdered, and people
from one section have q different dia-
lect from that Of another, and yet
they call it English. In America we
are making a language that is pecu-
1iarly our own. We may call it Eng
1ish, but it is fast losing it's resem-
blance TO the so-called mother tongue

AGRICULTURE rs BIGGEST
INDUSTRY, SAYS WIN. WOOD

The 80 billion dollars tied up in the
farming industry is more than is in
vested in railroads and manufactures
and mines. This statement was made
by William M. Wood, president Of the
American Woolen Company, whose
goods few years back were declared
not to be clothing when Attorney Gen
eral Palmer got the goods on this cor
poration.
But that is neither here nor there.
When big business men, like William
Wood, make such admissions It lis
equivalent to saying that the welfare
of America depends upon the welfare
Of its farming industry.
Instead Of telling these things u
farmers who knew ali this years ago
William Wood had said this 10 u
gathering Of big bnsineas men which
proves that the prsjndiice naay b
mighty, truth will in the end seep init

Michael Breen
Newspaper Man

A welcome visitor at the World Of
flee last Saturday morning was Edi-
tor Mike Breen, formerly of the VOL
ford Mirror, but for the past three
years editor and co-partner with L.
H. Bratton of the Rugby Tribune
It must have been along about 1904-5
that Mike set up his printing plant at
Wolford, and being the possessor of a
good vein of wit and humor, he soon
made the Mirror shine to such an ex-
tent as to attract the attention of the
newspaper fraternity throughout the
state. Several years later, when the
League hove in sight and the big
fight was started, Mikes humor turn
ed to satire, and he shook the dust of
Wolford off his feet and moved to
the county seat. Mike is good scout
and has enough of that precious Irish
lift that we mentioned to laugh about
the heart-breaking, neighbor-sassing
dog fight that everybody was mixed
Up in for the past five years. He
thinks, as we do, that there is an era
of better feeling now on the way in
North Dakota, and that future politi-
cal discussions will be carried forward
in more temperate manner and on q
higher plane.

600; Roumania, 10000; Russia, .3,311-
4O6; Switzerland, 256,7O7; Turkey,
81 ,4O4; The United Kingdom, Great
Britain and Ireland, 8,2O5,675; The
West Indies, 1871; other countries
not specified poured their contribu-
tions into the American melting pot
to the number of 2,1O4,O62. These are
the official figures; but it is safe to
assume that the numbers were in ex-
cess of the records.
In all this great influx English cut
a sorry figure, while the great move
mentto America has been from south
ern and central Europe and Asia.
These people came to America with
no knowledge of the English language,
and in the Americanization of them
they have left their impression upon
us to a marked degree, in the new
words that have been introduced, as
we'll as in the manners and customs
they brought with them, which have
changed our mode of living to great
extent.
There are in America many thou
sands of native born sons and daugh-
ters of foreign parentage who have
reached adult age without having ac-
quired a knowledge of the English
language. They may make themsel-
YES understood, but the tongue of
their parents and associates is suffi-
cicnt for them. In many communities
the people are entirely of one nation
ality, and that foreign. In many cit
les the foreign element is far in ex-
cess of the native, and while we speak
Americanized English and teach Eng
lish in our schools there are sections
of our cities where English is seldom
heard.
With all this foreign element in our
midst is it any wonder that our Ian
guage is undergoing change?
We catch certain words and phrases
and use them as slang, and finally
adopt them as authentic units of our
vocabulary
Another century will probably see
great change in the language of
America. 1t will be English, but it
will be spoken as much like the Eng
lish of old England as the Scotch dia-
lect is like the English of London.

CHURCH TO AID
THE UNEMPLOYED
COUNCIL OF CHURCHES TO
HELP IN UNEMPLOY-
MENT CRISIS.

All the various Protestant denom-
inations Connected with the Federal
Council of Chure F., were called upon
to-day by the Commission of which
John M. Moore, los East 22nd Street,
New York City, is chairman, to get
behind the Presidents Conference on
Unemployment Immediately, through
the churches of the nation. Every
church is asked to hold itself respon-
sible for the adequate care of it's own
people who are in trouble. Churches
whose members are not especially af-
fected by unemployment are requested
to aid those congregations whose peo-
pie are in need.
The Federal Councils plan is briefly
as follows: See case through when
once undertaken; register those whom
you plan to help; work according to
modern methods of relief; loan fund
is desirable which will provide loans
without interest to known families.
"The main thing is to find jobs"
reads the bulletin at should be
remembered that this means women
and girls as we'll as men. Mems and
wmen's organizations of the church,
when effective, might be assigned re-
sponsibility for organizing and dev-
eloping employment service. Plan
your procedure in conference with
your central employment bureau and
strengthen its work.
IF your community has no provi-
sion for housing homeless persons,
accompanied by work test, such
provisions should be made at once.
Whatever is done, even if temporary,
should be in accord with sanitary re-
quirements, should promote self-res-
pect and should be done under expe-
rienced management. 1t is always
possible to pay the board and lodging
of men who are without money or
home. Men out of work should be dis
couraged from leaving their own COM
munities in period OF general unem-
ployment.
I'm view Of the magnitude of the
present emergency and the need fol
concerted action, it is recommendc
that pastors and representatives OF
the churches, including, if possible
Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew
meet at an early date to consider the
situation in their own communitie:
and to devise measures of relief il
conference with the leaders of loca
social agencies. These rcommenda
tions have ben made as specific a
possible, but they will need to be ad
justed to local conditions and resourc
.es. The Committee plans to conven
a later conference to consider tn
deeper cause of unemployment"
Col. Arthur Woods, Chairman o
th Committee on Civic and Emergenc
Measures of the Conferene, expresse
himself as highly pleased at thi
move, especially as it is planned t
push the church employment work il
those communities where other ade
quate organization along the line
suggested by the Presidents Confer
ence does not now exist.

COOPERATIVE POTATO
MARKETING IN STATE

DR.. ]. D. Black and Paul L. Miller
of the division of agricultural eco
Monies, University Of Minnesota, and
Frank Robotka, formerly with the di
vision, are authors of an 88-page bull
letin, entitled LEGAL Cooperative Po-
'tato Marketing in Minnesota" which
can be obtained on application to the
Office of Publications, University
Farm, St. Paul, MINI.
The bulletin sketches the growth of
cooperative potato marketing associa-
tions, and discusses pooling, storing,
selling, sorting, grading, accounting,
handling of supplies etc. all factors
more or less involved in the success
full operation of such enterprises.
Ninety-fve associations are listed as
doing an actual shipping business dur
! ing the season of 192O-21. OF these,
67 were members of the Minnesota Po-
tato Exchange. Forty more associa-
tions, % of which were members of
the exchange, had also been organic
ed but had done no shipping. Thus it
| is shown sc per cent of the associa-
tions belong to the exchange.
"Potato growing" says the bulletin
"is increasing in the Red river valley
in the stretch of counties connecting
the Red river valley with the old po.
tato district north Of the Twin Cities
/ and in the newer northern counties. II
is decreasing everywhere in the south
ern part of the state It has also de-
creased in the. district north of ths

Salvation Army
Christmas Kettle
to Bubble and Boil
Boil and bubble,
Boil and bubble,
Not for witches
Toll and Trouble:
But to help
The poor kids, dearie,
And tn maka

The Salvation Army Yule kettle
started boiling in Devils Lake last
Saturday mroning. The fireplace"
was erected on the First Nation-
al Bank corner. The fuel to be
used will be the concentrated es-
sence of public sentiment and
Christmas spirit, mixed in due
proportion. This is a wonderfully
hot mixture, and it may be neces-
sary to call out the fire depart
ment before the thing is over.
1t will be a pleasure for the
joyous Christmas crowds that pass
by to contribute their share to the
"blaze'', by dropping their nickels,
dimes, quarters and half dollar into
the kettle. The proceeds will be
used to aid 40 poor families in Dew
ills Lake and outlying community
and to make the children in these
families partakers in the Christ
mas Joy.
A big Christmas dinner will be
served to these children by the Sal
vation Army lassies in the city
roller rink on Dec. 9th, and very
attractive program will be given in
conection.
The Devils Lake branch of the
Salvation Army is not large-onAy
Ia members, but they are mighty
host in good works. Let's add fuel
to their Yuletide blaze.
