WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4; 1922.

THE AMERICAN CREED believe in the
United States Of America as a government of
the people, by the people, for the people; whose
just powers derived from the consent of
the governed; a democracy in republic, a
sovereign nation OF many sovereign states, a
perfect union, one and inseparable, established
upon those principles of freedom, equality,
justice and humanity for which American
patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
therefore believe it my duty to my country to
love it, to support its cons ttution, to obey it's
laws, to respect it's flag-and to defend it
against all enemies.
The Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1920-1982, 1922-01-04

With seven million persons on the govern
ment pay roll the Soviet government of Russia
proposes to make sweeping reductions in it's
expense account by reducing the number en-
ployed in the Department of Education in which
there are now employed 100000. The entire
civil and military lists of the country include
100000. The strength of the soviet army
is 100000 men. Surprising this latter ex-
pense was cut out and the five million men
became producers, instead of leeches upon the
public treasury, Russia would soon be in better
circumstances.

After the fall gales of financial depression
had blown everything the farmer had into the
sea, leaving him only ragged shirt for dis
tress signal, he is now-at the point of exhaus-
tion-being inundated by returning tidal
wave of relief which bids fair to drown him
and all his family and the house cat. It is the
way of America-be it imitation or deflation,
prosperity or depression, she hits the floor or
the ceiling hard enough to bust clean through.

"The only danger in a representative popular
government such as ours is that the people,
busy with the great task Of making living will
not give time enough to the study of public
questions. The masses of the people are honest
in their purposes, deeply patriotic, and highly
intelligent, even among those whose school
education has been far too limited People who
read or talk about public issues will form
reasonably accurate judgment, and, though a
few may be misled by selfshly conducted
propaganda, the majority will nearly always
be found acting in accordance with general
welfare

Col. Roy Winters devised the
plan of assembly assessment, put
up the proposition to the com mis-

and the county saved $1,000 in
special deputy hire to make a
h ,use to house assessment cam
paihn. as it had been formerly.
MI. Winters has gotten the
property of the county on tn l., ia X

equali.ed value on that property
as finite mind is capable of. &C.

can in one assessment campaign
lose more inonev to the county
than the whole official mainten-

IL q small part of what has been
saved by getting all tax-paying

bank, the famous plant wizard, declared re- gently in talk, responding to greetings from neighbors on his 73rd birthday at Santa Rosa, Cal. His message comes with peculiar force to the parents in Cordova, where the children have all the natural advantages.
 ''I speak of the boy or girl who has the privilege of being reared in the only place that is truly'fit to bring up a boy or plant the country or the small towns-the nearer to nature the better,'' he said. "In the case of children compelled to live in the city the temptations are So great, the life so artificial, the atmosphere so like that of hothouse, that such child should be placed in school earlier as matter of safeguard"
 Mr. Burbank said his life work with plants had convinced him that the same treatment and care necessary to the highest development of plant life is essential to the highest devel- opment of human life.
 "All animal life is sensitive to environment, but of all living things the child is the most sensitive,'' he declared Surroundings act upon us as the outside world acts upon the plate of the camera. Every possible influence will leave it's impress upon the child, in many cases even overcoming heredity. A child lit erallv absorbs environment. The proper in fIuence applied during the hnpresslonable period will cause an effect that will be pro- nounced, immediate and permanent.
 "Pick out any trait which you may desire in normal child, honesty, fairness, purity, lovableness industry, thrift what not; by sur rounding a child with sunshine from your heart and the open sky, giving it free com munion with nature, well-balanced and nutri- tious food, then you may fully attain the de- sired object and produce a race of superior men and women.''

PERFORMANCE OUR MIDDLE NAME

A newspaper of Rome criticizes the Unit ed States for non- partcip patton in the Genoa meeting, saying that ''the United States tries to make it's own political and financial in terests predominant" If participation in the Genoa conference would mean making those interests subordinate to European influence, the charge states the exact truth. Of course America wants to keep it's interests predomin- ant which it has a perfect right to do, being the richest and most powerful nation in the world. But such a policy does not necessarily include selfishness. American resources have been extensively devoted to the rehabilitation of Europe. The difference is that they have been employed under American, rather than European, direction.
