VALUE OF A SPARROW

How startling the words must have
seemed to his audience that day in
Palestine when Jesus pictured fall
ing sparrow as attracting the atten-
tion of God; Paul thought God didn't
care for oxen. Jesus says he cares
for sparrows. Few in those far-off
days imagined that Heaven concerned
itself with anything so triaing as an
animal.
Only as we put ourselves back into
that distant century and gather with
the crowd of those who listen to the
new teacher out on the hillside, or by
the quiet lake, can we understand
how these words about the value of
a sparrow must have shocked his au-
dience. 1t seemed quite as amazing
to them as if some one among US
should say, ''Not an insect is crushed
beneath your needless foot whose
doom your heavenly father does not
mark"
What does it all mean? This
that the higher you climb up the lad
der of life, the wider your vision, the
broader your sympathies, the quicker
your response to the need of ever
living thing capable of pain and
pleasure.
Where the capacity for suffering
fades out Of the great river Of life
that flows from the Eternal Himself
on to the multitudinous hosts that in
the sea and on the land live out their
checkered and often tragic careers of
toll and struggle, of war and peace,
no man dare say.
What does this animal ask of us?
Not mercy. Never that. You and I
alone of all Gods creatures must
pray for that. Give US justice, mutely
plead the beasts of the field and the
fowl of the air Treat US as you
would want to be treated were you
in our places and we ask no more.
How many of US have recognized
humanity's debt to these Iowlier crea-
lures about us2 How without the dog
could man have herded his sheep and
so passed in that pastoral stage that
marked his forward march? How
the fleece of the sheep has warmed
him! How the milk of the cow has
nourished him! How without the OK,
the ass, the horse, could he have won
from the soil its mighty harvests and
built the cities and highways of the
world?-The Charleston American.

is fighting against the Tariff, not from
the American standpoint but from the

LITTLE THINGS COUNT

Quite often it is the case that when
attention is called to some matter of
extravaganza in connection with
state or county government we hear
the remark, ooh, we'll, that does not
amount to much anyway"
This may be quite true as far as
any one of these items is concerned,
but it is when we come to sum up
the total of these items that we be-
gin to see that they materially af-
feet the taxpayers.
To pay a deputy in a county Of
fee $50 or $50 a month may not be
an excessive price for service, but
the question is: Is such service
really needed? If it is not, then any
cost is excessive and in our own in
terest we should see to it that there
IS a careful investigation all along
the line and the elimination of every
such cost to the end that we can get
back to an efficient administration of
affairs.
The injunction to save the pennies
Is as sound today as it was when first
uttered. The successful business
man fully realizes that the most
careful attention must be paid to his
overhead" if he is to make a profit.
The overhead" is made up of null
tiplicity Of minor costs which amount
TO but little when taken item by item,
but represents staggering sum in
the course of a years business. The
items of postage stamps, telephone
tolls, freight bills and express bills
become of real Importance when you
sum up totals and the savings made
when a letter is used instead of a
telegram and parcel post instead of
express mean considerable to the
man who is trying to stop business
leaks.
The need of a real business admin
istration of government was never
greater than it is today. We have
had our orgie of spending and it is
about time that we gave more of our

rEII. HIM HE is A THE

If your dealer is charging you two
or three cents per pound more for
sugar than he has been doing and
says that he is obliged to do so on ac-
count of the Fordney-MoCumber Bill,
tell him he is a thief. The said bill
has not yet become a law, so there is
no good reason why it should in
fluence the price of sugar. But even
if the rates of the pending bill were
enacted into law there would still be
no reason for such an increase an
price and those responsible for so in
creasing the price would still be
thieves, for the proposed increase in
the rate of duty is less than one-third
of a cent per pound.
If your dealer should charge you
from SO to 81 more for a suit of
domestic made clothes than he has
been charging and alleges that the
reason for such increase in price Is
the increased rate of duty on wool in
the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Bill,
tell him he IS both a liar and a thief.
The Fordney-McCumber Tariff Bill
has not yet been enacted into law,
and after it has been so enacted, if
the rate of duty on wool that has
been incorporated in the bill as it
now stands shall remain, then the
price Of wool clothing should be lower
than it has been of late, for the rates
of duty on wool proposed are lower
than they are in the Tariff now in
force. The rate is forty-five cents per
pound on secured wool in the present
law, while it IS only thirty-three cents
per pound in the proposed law.
The trouble is that profteers are
up to their old tactics They are do
ing the same thing that they did prior
to and following the enactment of the
Mckinley Tariff. They are doing as
they did prior to and following the
enactment of the Payne-Aldrich
Tariff when they added So to the
price of a suit of clothes and alleged
that it was on account of the new
Tariff, when the truth was that not a
single rate on a single item in the
wool schedule had been increased.
The Tariff is not the reason for any
increase in prices, but it is made the
excuse, even when the rates of duty
have not been increased.
IF the Congress shall finally adopt
the rate of duty on sugar now in the
bill as it has passed the Senate (the
increase in the rate being less than a
third Of a cent per pound) and the
dealers advance the price of sugar
more than one-third of a cent in con-
sequence, the consuming public ought
to know that such advance in price is
made, not because it is justified, but
in order to discredit the Tariff or else
for the purpose of profiteering.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT

The recent cool weather has beer
ideal for the filling of the grain in
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da.
kota and Montana. There have beer
occasional showers, but a few places
could use more moisture. During the
past week there were light frosts in
North Dakota. Vegetables showed
some effects, but we believe there was
little damage to grain.
The small grain crops, while uneven,
are we'll up to the average for this
season Of the year, although seeding
was light. North Dakota and districts
in Montana have prospects for the
heaviest yields. In North Dakota most
of the wheat is now in the soft dough,
but in South Dakota, some Of it is
backward and only in blossom. The
cutting Of early spring wheat will
probably begin within 10 days in some
of the southern territory.
We have received a number Of sam
pies Of wheat from South Dakota and
southern North Dakota, showing black
rust. This is in a light form and very
little has developed on the stem, most
OF it being on the sheaf or lower
leaves. With a continuation of the
cool weather it is the general opinion
wheat is not beyond the danger stage
and with hot muggy weather, rust
might develop rapidly and do consider
able damage.
Our reports on oats and barley in
dictate a spotted condition. The early
sown is thinner than the late, but the
quality should be good. Oats and bar
ley in the southern districts will soon
be ready for harvest.
Rye is now being cut in Minnesota
and South Dakota, and indications are
for a good yield. In North Dakota as
a rule, the rye is much better and if it
suffers nc damage. the yield there. in
places, will be unusually high. We be-
lieve rye will show a very good quail
ity.
Corn is up TO the average in develop
ment in South Dakota and in south
ern Minnesota, but is backward in
North Dakota, due to cool weather.
Undoubtedly some of the corn in North
Dakota will not mature, but can be
used for fodder.
The flax crop generally has a good
condition, especially in the northern
territory. 1t has had sufficient moist.
ure and is making rapid Roadway. In
spotted as there are places that need
rain. Some fields in North Dakota
have started to boil and with good
weather, indicate an excellent yield.

HARBiNGER OF PROSPERITY

When the automobile industry
stepped out from under the late bust
ness depression and spurred all other
American industries to work, it was
predicted that the rush of automobile
buying couldn't last. July was given
as the month when the break would
come.
The w%iseacres pointed out that the
automobile manufacturer could not
pull out from the rest Of the field and
run all alone, that the making of
automobiles would have to slow down
and wait for other basic activities to
catch up.
July, however, has come and the
demand for automobiles still is brisk.
Many manufacturers still are behind
in their orders, and right when II was
predicted the slump would come it
appears that the farmer with the pro-
ceeds of a bumper crop is getting
ready TO enter the market and further
increase demand for cars.
ohASi ihduotl ico, says SIsut THIN
ley, of the Nissen-Hinkley company,
in charge Of distribution, apparently
are catching the pace and while still
the automobile is out in front and
running alone, general business over
the country is picking up.
He based his observations Of a gen
eral revival in business on results of
a country wide survey just completed.
Reports from farming experts, bank.
ers, business men, manufacturers and
others in all parts Of the country
shows the United States has gone to
work, that a sound steady business
stride has been struck and the whole
country is on its way to an era OF
better time.
The business survey showed the
country is about to harvest a bumper
crop; that unemployment throughout
the country is rapidly disappearing
that bank savings deposits are in
creasing; foreign trade conditions
growing better and that when the
railroad and coal troubles are over
come there is every prospect tina,
the country will encounter nothing tc
halt it on its march toward normal
prosperity.

ELECTRICITY DANGEROUS

Annual loss through defective cleo
tnc wiring in the United States is
estimated at $4,000. 900 resulting
from approximately 2s,0SO fires per
annum or an average Of $40 per week.
South Dakota's report Of SO fires
caused through defective wiring, and
improperly installed and operated
electrical devices shows a loss of
over $4,000 in the past year.
II is evident that the public must
be instructed on these hazards. es-
pecially as regard changes in the wir-
ing and leaving the current on irons
and devices not in use. and that the
authorities should improve their in.
spection systems.
A loss OF s25. 900. 900 a year from
electrical fires. with hundreds Of
deaths chiefly among women and
children is too heavy a toll to pay for
the American habit OF carelessness.

subject at the boys and girls club
camps which are being held in many
parts of the state this summer, says
II. d. Mccullough, farm management
demonstration at State college, who
presents this subject to the young
sters at the camps.
Each boy or girl is given a Junior
farm account book and a lead pencil
and enters in this book the inventor
les, receipts, expenses and summary
of a typical pig club" record. After
this practise he should have no
trouble in keeping a record of his
own prospects. These records are val
liable and important because they
often show how expenses may be re-

profits thereby enlarged.
