MAN is a social animal, and
N1 we owe much of our
pleasures and our morals to
others. But the older one
grows the more it is borne in
upon him, If his mind is open
and he can learn from expert
ence, that after all the best and
most stable portion Of his con-
tentment comes from his own
inner resources.
The most certainly unhappy
person is the one who does not
understand how to be happy
alone.
And that inner treasure which
moth and rust do not corrupt.
nor thieves break through and
steal, which no man gave unto
us and no man can take away,
is the kind of treasure that we
find only in solitude.

IRRIGATION
FARM URGED
State Engineer Has Plan for
Practical Demonstration

A demonstration irrigation project
built with funds appropriated by the
state legislature is urged by W. H.
Robinson, state engineer, as the first
practical step necessary in the pro-
posed development of small irriga-
tion projects in the western part q,
the state.
The state engineer would provide
for an irrigation farm, probably in
connection with a state experimental
farm ,on which irrigation farming
would be carried on in practical
manner. Such farm, he contends,
would not only serve as a place for
experiment but would demonstrate
the most practical methods of irriga
tion and make it possible for far
mer to begin irrigation farming with
the benefit of this experience.
An irrigation farm, Mr.. Robinson
holds, should be located near Bis
marck where it would be under the
supervision of state engineers.

HARDING ASKS

President Would Have An.
thracite Men Meet Again
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 25.-Negotia-
tions between anthracite and United
mine workers officials to end the
suspension of mining operations are
expected by officials close to Pres
ident Harding to be resumed within
a week. as the result of overtures
made on behalf Of the administra-
ton.
President Harding, it was said, in
an official qaurter conversant with
the anthracite situation, holds that
the negotiations which were sus-
pended early this week through fail
ure of the operators and union Off
cials to reach an agreement partic-
ularly upon the question Of arbltra-
ton should be resumed at once.
Announcement came from those
close to John L. Lewis, head Of the
United mine workers, that he would
have probably no statement to make
today upon the possibility Of the re-
supmtion Of conference between
union representatives and these OF
the anthracite operators in the i'm
mediate future.
Reports were current, however,
that Mr.. Lewis had been in COM
munication with Washington today
and that there would be conference
between himself, Governor Sproul,
and Samuel Gompers, President OF
the American Federation of Labor,
expected here from Canada, should
the later arrive today. There was
nothing official to these reports.

A letter which Dr. F. R. Smyth of

County Independent, reads as fol-
lows:

Council Of defense( during the war,

Smyth made no suggestion that the
enclosed be printed, but you may find
It Of sufficient interest to do So"
The letter follows:
"The enclosed clipping reminded
me of record thsc tie city of Car
rington made during the war and
which think of itself would entitlc
the city to speciaI recognition.
"The writer was chairman of the
executive committee of the medica.
counsel of defense during the war
and it was part of his duty to have a
classified list of all the practicing
in the state. Each ply
sician was graded as to his fitness
and willingness to serve in the med
ical corp of the army or navy. There
were five physicians in Darlington at
that time and all offered their serv
ices. Four were accepted and receiv-
ed commissions in the medical corps.
The fifth, one of the oldest, in years
of practice, and most respected ply
sicians in the state was past the age
for active service but did more than
his share in taking charge of the
work of the men who were called out.
