"A NTOINE GALLAND, Edward

and Richard Burton-those are the
four outstanding names in connec
tion with THE Arabian Nights" SO
far as the English speaking reader
is concerned, for, though Galland
was Frenchman. England and
America first came to know of the
tales through the medium OF his
discoveries. The work and methods
OF the four may be summed up
briefly. In the original the Arabian
Nights Entertainment" reeks with
Oriental sex and its ramifications.
Galland made a much expurgated
adaptation for the people; Lane,
century and a quarter later, went
almost the limit in freedom of ex-
preston; Payne went the limit, and
Burton, with his explanatory anno-
tations, went beyond the limit. The
British authorities were urged to
take action against Payne on the
ground Of public morality. Burton.
though a defer of convention and
a man of reckless courage, was not
one to take unnecessary risks, so
he arranged to have his version Of

appropriate name, "The Kama

attend the meeting at Grand Forks
and at that time adopt resolutions
and possibly appoint committe to 60
to Washington for the purpose of ex-
pressing the wishes Of the potato
growers Of this district regarding the
proposed changes in the grades.
Among the suggested changes is the
proposal to increase the tolerance
for the u. S. No. l grade from six
percent to ten percent. This would
permit lower grade of potatoes to
be marketed as "No. l." and some of
the Minnesota growers have expressed
the fear that this would react harm
fully for the growers. By the -toler-
ence is meant the percentage of de-
fective potatoes allowable in the lot,
including diseased potatoes which can
not exceed three per cent.
The tentative program for the meet
ing, in addition to the grading discus
sion, as outlined by Mr.. Randlett in
cludes report of the special potato
marketing committee; working out an
extended plan of field inspection and
certification; discussion Of the posi-
bility of improving grading and con-
ditioning practice; making plans for
grading schools next fall; discussion
of the necessary organizations for sue
cessful production and efficient mark
citing, and consideration of ways-and-
means of handling the 1922 potato
crop.

Bird Migration to State Begins

The first wave of the spring mi
grafton Of birds reached North Da-
kota about the middle of March, ac-
cording to o. A. Stevens, secretary
/. of the North Dakota Audubon So
ciety, at the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college.
Meadow larks were reported from
Wahpeton on March 10 and from the
Power farm, near Leonard March IA,
but they apparently did not reach
Fargo that week, Geese were report
ed from near Leonard on March Is,
and Fargo the same day. A robin
was reported in Fargo on March 20,
and two. were seen by Professor
Stevens on March %.
''The migration of any species of
birds usually is mentioned in very
general TERMS" says Professor Stew
ems. "There are, of course, thou
sands of individuals which at nest
ing time are scattered over a wide
area. The first of summer resident
to arrive are the ones which nested
in the locality the year previous. The
next "wave" will bring others which
60 on little farther, and so on. The
females and young birds of the last
season often follow somewhat later
= than the old males. 49,.
Reports indicate that birds were
rather more numerous than usual
in the state the past winter. Chicka
dees, redpolls, woodpeckers, nut
matches, and brown creepers have
been more common than for two or
three years, according to my obser-
vations, Crows have been seen move
frequently than usual and magpies
have ranged eastward, being record
ed at Fargo, jamestown and Wahpe-
ton, while reports from Minnesota,
Iowa and Wisconsin mention them.
"The January number of Bird
Lore published 113 counts made. In
various parts of the United States
on Christmas week. These include
one from Bismarck and one from
Fargo. Both lists have downy wood
pecker, bluejay, nuthatch p and
chickadee. From Bismarck was re-
ported also sharptailed grouse, hairy
woodpecker, horned lark, maybe,
redpoll and Bohemian waxwing From
Fargo, prairie chicken, shorteared
owl, and brown creeper."

John Steen Does Not Favor Cancelling
Taxes

John Steen Does Not Favor Cancelling
Taxes
The proposed tax abatement initial
ed law of Judge Robinson would bene-
fit only very small number of tax
payers in the state at the expense Of
others, according to State Treasurer
John Steen, basing his opinion upon a
compiled statement Of taxes paid the
state for the years 1919 and 1920 I'M
der the total state levy.
The compilation shows that less
than 4 per cent of the taxes for the
year 1919 are unpaid and that but Is
per cent of the 1920 taxes are unpaid,
while the policy Of the state board of
equalization for years, according to
the treasurer, is to figure upon but IS
per cent of the taxes being paid.
Judge Robinson's proposal is to
cancel all penalties and one-half the
and 1921, permit the other half to be
paid before November l, 1922, and can
GELS all sales to the state for the years
1919 and 1920.
No compilation is as yet available
for the year 1921 as few abstracts
have been reported. Taxpayers are
paying their taxes much the same as
in the past, according to the treasurer.
His figures show that about $4,000
of state levy taxes would be affected
by the proposed law. The total per-
centage Of taxes reported paid, it is
said, may be less than the correct
amount as each settlement of a eoun-
+ty treasurer brings in taxes for the
year 1919 and 1920.

Barberries Killed in IL Counties of
State

Farm to- farm surveys for the pur.
pose of destroying barberry bushes
which harbor black rust of wheat
have been completed in II counties
in the eastern part of the state &C.
cording 10 George C. Mayoue of the
North Dakota Agriculture college who
has charge of the barberry eradica-
ton which is being conducted in the
northern wheat states by the U. S. De-
partment of the Agriculture.
Thousands of bushels of the common
barberry have been located and de.
stroyed during the past two years by
crews of college-trained men, who
under the direction of Mr.. Mayoue,
take up one county at time and go
from farm tofarm to be sure that
none of these carries of rust are left
alive. Counties, in which the servey
has been completed include Pembina,
Cavalier, Walsh, Ramsey; Nelson,
Grand Forks, Trail, Steele, Griggs,
Foster, Eddy, Logan, Mcintosh, La
Mature, Dickey, Ransom and Sargent.
Scenes of old paintings in these coun-
ties have been revisited SO that sprouts
from the old roots could also be de-
stroyed. Work has also been done in
Cass, Barnes, Stutsman, and Richland
counties, which will be completed this
summer, and new counties to be sur
veyed include Towner, Wells, Kidder,
Burleigh and Emmons, leaving about
half the state to be covered. Bar

BIC CHRISTMAS
SEAL SUCCESS
Returns, Not Yet All in, Far
Exceed Last Year. Many
County Patients

The program of the Middlesex
County Anti-Tuberculosis League
for 1922 is assured. This is made
possible by the fact that the money
received from the sale of Christmas
seals will exceed the amoun de-
sired. At the present time there is
yer $4,000 in the banks for the use
of the work in Middlesex county.
$500 of which amount is remain
ing from last year.
At the present time there are
thirteen patients waiting admittance
to the various sanitoriums. Six ad-
ditional patients were turned over
by the freeholders recently, which
number can not be admitted but can
only be supported.
The tuberculosis clinic at the hos
pital has been changed so hat clinic
day will be Monday instead of Tues
day, thus making clinic days at this
institution Monday afternoon and
Thursday mornings.
A report of the New Jersey Tuber-
culosis League shows hat a total of
1000, 900 Christmas seals were sold
in this state, which makes the sale
slightly larger than last yea when
the total sale amounted to $~136,796.-
81 or thirteen and one-half million
seals.
AS there are many seals outstand-
ing in h hands of agents and many
individuals to whom seals were sent
have not as yet made returns it is
impossible to give a complete report
as to the 1921 sale. Each organiza-
ton, however. anticipates that in
the cleanup it will be ahead of last
year. Monmouth county already
has $500 in the bank and hopes to
reach at least ten seals per capita.
Hudson, Middlesex, Mercer, Cape
May, Salem and Sussex counties will
go ahead of last year; while Bergen.
Union, Camden, Gloucester and
Ocean counties report returns to
date equal to those of last year.
The immediate problem before
the various organizations will be to
direct their activities along the most
effective way to prevent further in
roads of this disease. In some in
stances his will mean the taking on
of additional nurses who will give
daily instruction in the home ana
thus prevent further infection. In
other instances it will mean the
starting of nutrition classes in pub
lie schools in an effort to reduce the
amount of malnutrition and prevent
complete breakdowns. The estab-
lishment of open air schools and
the introduction of the Modern
Health Crusade will form an i'm
portant part of the work. In the
industrial program it will mean the
finding of industrial hazards and an
| attempt t. eliminate them, thus
helping to reduce the amount of
sickness, absenteeism and labor
turnover.
