fee is added is the water to boil. Also
that. too much cooking is worse than
too little.
Coffee that viii not clear has been
cooked too much.
If the mixture foams vigorously
when the coffee is added, the water is
too hot.
As to the material from which the
coffee pot is made, they have few
words to say:
Coffee is best when it has been
brewed in a glass or earthenware pot.
If the brew comes in contact with any
metal, it absorbes some taste from
the metal.
When coffee has lost most of it's
aroma, the flavor can be revived by
heating, but this merely liberates
some oil, hitherto found in the bean,
and such oil is rather rapidly lost by
evaporation.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE

The coffee trade, having become dis
satisfied with the long-in-use rule-of~
thumb method of making coffee, has
employed Professor Prescott OF the
Massachusetts Institute of Technolo-
'gy to gather around him group OF
scientists and proceed to throw such
light as he and his assistants could
on the coffee question.
They are beginning to report. The
report from which this article is
drawn deals with the question, "How
to Make Cup of Coffee"
AS to the water to be used, they
have little to say. Their work was
done in Boston, and the waters they
used were such as are easily available
there for the housewife.
They suggest that it might be diff
ferent if the water was very hard or
alkaline, or was heavily favored by
chlorine or alum or iron. The tenn
perature of the water when the cof7
fee was added was very important
They say coffee should not be boil
ed. When the aroma of the coffee in
the making is smelled all over the
house, but little Of it is found in the
coffee cup.
The instruction is to bring the wa
ter to boil, then to remove the pot
from the fire for few moments and
after that to add the coffee.
Prolonged seeping in the hot wa
ter is not required. Two minutes of
heat, short Of boiling, will etract all
the caffein and oil that should be ex-
tracted.
Drip coffee is all right. So is perco-
lated coffee - provided superheating
and overseeing is guarded against.
Ordinary boiled coffee is all right,
provided it is not boiled.
It is true that the method of arriv-
ing at conclusion was to submit
samples of different brews to groupes
of people and to average or otherwise
collate their opinions. The New Or
leans man might not think much of
the taste for coffee of the Boston
man, and vice versa, but what better
method is there?
The outstanding features of this
part of the advice is that in making
boiled coffee at no time after the cof-

SETTING US AN EXAMPLE

The effort being put forth by sup
porters of Frazier to have the Ma
tional Republican Committee recog-
nize the recalled governor as the
Republican nominee for the senate
and give him moral and financial as
sistance is being watched with concern
by those who have the best interests
of the party at heart. ..r
If the national committee places so
little value on the giving of endorse
ments that it willingly accepts as it's
candidate one who openly announces
that his first fealty will be to Senator
LaFollette, to one who represents an
organization whose leading mouth
piece is filled with attacks on the
Harding administration and the en-
tire Republican organization, then
surely the national committee will
have little fault to find with the
North Dakota Republicans who prefer
to throw their support to J. FIT. o.
Common, who though he wears the
Democratic label is an advocate Of or
derby government, supporter Of the
constitution, and has not like Frazier
advocated civil war to secure the de-

rights Of the whole people.

THE LUNACY OF GREAT CITIES

The solution must lie in the
spread Of information showing
the small chance the man or FAM
lily will find in the large city for
individuality, comfort and ulti-
mate competence. Decentraliza-
ton must be accomplished. This
could be done in large measure
by smaller community organiza
ton and systematic dissenina-
ton Of knowledge. Country and
small city newspapers, as well as
chambers Of commerce and other
Organizations, could enlighten
the people and influence vast
multitude toward the building up
of these smaller places. Perhaps,
more than all, the public schools,
through special studies and re-
search in local opportunities and
fundamental economies, could
impress on the rising generation
the lunacy and hopelessness OF
the great cities.

Mott Wooley at the close of an arti

THE SABOTAGE OF TIME

Inc NnlCdSO Ddlly A<c"o III Vic IoA-
lowing editorial hits the nail square
on the head. And what it says about
the miners is equally true of the rail-
road men. The country today through
the misuse of organized labor, is COM
polling not only the mine owners but
the rail owners to employ three men
where one man used to do it and do
it easily. That is now the greatest
trouble with the whole country. If all
these union leaders would insist that
union man do a fair days work and
get paid fair wage for doing it, and
cut out lot of this unnecessary un-
ionism, making three men needed
where one would do, this country
would get some place in it's labor
troubles. The only remedy left is
either for the union men to do the
right thing or else wipe out the I'M
ions. The editorial is as follows:
"In his address at the opening of
the Chicago Pageant of Progress,
Postmaster General Work made a
iforcible presentation of the basic evil
in the coal mining industry. 1t is an
evil that everybody recognizes and yet
nothing effective is done about it.
AS DIR. Work says, there are about
twice as many coal miners in the
United States as are needed to per-
form the work of getting out the ma
TONS supply of coal. There are also
very many more operating coal mines
than the country needs. The result is
that the miners ordinarily work only
half the time. Through an extremely
powerful union-a union which causes
it's membership dues to be collected
out of the wages of the men-they de-
mand a living wage for half-time work
"The sabotage of time by the idle
under pay, says Dr.. Work, "and of
property intrusted to them, must be
added to the cost price of any pro-
duct. And the price is paid by the
consumers. And the consumers in
most instances are themselves wage
earners who work steadily through
the year to earn living. A large
percentage Of the striking mine work
ers are not needed jim the coal mining
industry on any terms. There are in
dustries where this surplus labor that
now will neither mine coal nor let any
body else do so might be employed at
good wages the year around. Thus
the rest of the miners might have
steady employment mining coal.
1t is impossible to see why the peo-
pie and the industries Of this country
should pay for coal prices sufficient
to keep miners in idleness half the
year and give profit to the owners
of thousands Of producing mines for
whose product under properly ar
ranged economic conditions there
would be no sale in competition with
mines where production costs are less
Even this is by no means the whole
story. Coal mining can be done large
,ly by machinery at only a fraction OF
the cost of hand labor. The miners
union forbids the use of such nachin.
cry.
Here is far-reaching, Sabotage that
makes coal dear and hard to get. Nc
settlement of the Goa lstrike that does
not bring with it a searching investi:
cation of this evil by a competent
federal commission will hold out any
reasonable prospect Of leading to g
fair reduction in the excessive cost Of

atrophied. Fear, he writes, is the
ruling passion in New York. New
Workers live in constant fear of their

ruling passion in New York. New
Workers live in constant fear of their
landlords, their employers, and their
janitors. Expenses, consisting chief
" of rent, leave the vast majority of
New Workers on the ragged edge of
perjury, and loss of employment
means disaster. He cites numerous
examples of families with incomes of
$3.50 to $3.50 a month paying from SO
percent to 80 percent of it for rent.
He argues, and doubtless correctly,
that the mass of people in New York
are gradually being brought to pow
erty by the tremendous rentals and
that within a few generations some
thing is going to happen He hopes
that instead of social revolution it
will be a scattering of people to where
htey can restore the normal proper
tions of life
But Mr.. Wooley's suggestion that
country and small city newspapers
and chambers of commerce can do the
trick, reveals a naive ignorance of
what these agencies have been trying
to do for the last generation or two.
What does he imagine is the reason
for existence of chamber of COM
merce in a small city? Isn't it to
"boost" the city and to bring new
industries? And is there a newspa-
per in the country-outside of Fargo
that isn't engaged in 'boosting" for
! it's home city,? Yet when some big
corporation is planning new plant,
the big centers Of population bring
all their influence to bear to get it.
Even a government hospital is vigor-
ously sought by the bigger cities. And
when suggestion is made that the
port of New York is overcrowded and
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence water
way should be developed to make sea-
ports of the lake cities, New York
fights it tooth and nail. And when a
reimbursement of railway rates is
asked for the purpose Of giving a
smaller city like Fargo its rights,
there is protest from the bigger
! cities.
If the big cities want decentraliza-
ton they can give the movement ma
terial aid. When we learn, in Ameri-
ca, that mere size in city is not de-
sirable, and that there is a limit be-
) yond which city can grow without
. becoming a menace to American
standards of living and American in
situations, then the larger centers OF
population may take an active inter-
est in decentralization of business, in
stead of indulging in a mad race for
the top places in the census reports.
, But Just telling New Workers that
life in Fargo is much to be preferred
in every respect for the average man
to life in New York won't bring ar
influx of settlers. We in Fargo know
it, or ought to know it, but the New
Yorker who draws $3.50 a month sal.
ary, pays $50 of it for two semiheat'
ed rooms opening on court, and
another $50 for transportation to and
from his work, thinks we are just
"rubes" out here on the prairies, ano
thinks he isn't Giving" if he gets of
Manhattan Island. There are "city
rubes" and Country rubes." -Forum

With Busters

The gentlemen with busters"
they still enjoy boom; wherever
cobweb clusters they ply the saw
ed-of broom. These Inoralists, all
nameless, are writing books to
prove that everything is shameless
where modern statesmen move. Our
statesmen and our rulers have
neither hearts nor brains; they
should be in the coolers and loaded
down with chains. Khe gentlemen
with busters provide no helpful
cure. they're rather poor adjusters
of evils we endure. They point out
Goths and Vandals who in high
places stand. they dig up musty
scandals to horrify the land; but
they are masked while prodding the
erring, sinful ones, and SO it's only
wadding emerging from their guns.
Methinks the gent sarcastic who
plies a bitter pen, and heaps revil-
ings drastic upon his fellow men
should tell just what his name is
when he completes his task. and
then, whate'er his game is, he wears
no piker's mask Then, when his
facts he musters. he's of human
size; but gentlemen with busters
are rabbits in disguise.

When the police found Richards
he was just recovering from n

the mans strange experience and
believing 1t had been sufficient
punishment. the court placed him
on probation.
Richards told Judge Mcmahon he
had hazy recollection Of attend

west Washington, but that was
as far as his memory served him
until a policeman picked him Off
