A question that is being generally,
almost universally asked is; When
will conditions get better?
The answer is simple: When peo-
pie go to work.
There is nothing on earth below,
in the heavens above, or under the
sea beneath that will help conditions
as long as people sit around and
whimper and knock and whine. What
the country needs is more elbow
grease and less jaw-bone exercise.
Conditions have been analysed, dis
sected, torn to pieces long enough by
the soap-box philosophers 1t is time
for the workers to step into the
breach and start something con-
structive.
Financial panics are nothing new
to this country on the other coun-
titles of the world. Panics come in
a more or less well regulated cycle.
Any student of the eountry's his
tory can tell you that panics have
been occurring with regular fire.
quency since the government was
established in our business system as
the planets in the solar system. AL
most everybody can tell you about
the panic of 1878, 1898, 1907, and
1914. Your grandparents, were
they alive, could tell you about the
panics Of 1887 and others less severe.
When financial depression occurs,
as it always does after every war,
the people are thrown into panic.
>They lose their heads, nerve and
morals, They lose confidence in one
another. Everybody seeks the life
boats and in the mad scramble for
safety, codes of ethics are forgotten.
1t is case of Lord save me and
the devil take the hindmost.
During the past few months, the
country has been up against a rather
severe storm. What has been in the
back of every business mans head
for the past several years has come
TO pass. The dreaded defation has
become a reality. The water has
been squeezed out of abnormal prof
its and the country is face to face
with bedrock principles. We are
living in new world, but yet many
can not forget memories of the old
the farmer Of As cents cotton, the
business man of excess profits.
We are on the threshold of new
year. AS we enter into the new
year, fraught with great possibilities,
every man, woman and child should
make the determination to find the
solution to his problem through hard
er work. Work will prove balm
of Gilead. 1t will make boosters out
of pessimists. 1t will lift the clouds
and let the Sunshine in.
Get busy at something uesful If
you can't make dollar, make fifty
cents. If you can't raise cotton un.
der the decree of Providence, raise
something else. If you can't get
what you want, be satisfied with
what you can get. Anything beats
adleness and whimpering.
How to get out of the present rut?
t is an individual problem. You
must solve it according to your pecu-
lar needs. So must your neiehbor.
What is good for one may not be
good for the other.
Work, and work only, will restore
cur accustomed prosperity. 1t will
make the wheels run. 1t will bring
smiles to faces now long with doubt
and mlsgivings. 1t will fill the banks
with deposits, the home with peace
and plenty, the world with content

LAMBS MAKE UP so PER
CENT. OF SHEEP MARKET.

Lexington, KY, - More than three
fourths or about so per cent, of all
the sheep that go to market are lambs,
market receipts show. Demands Of the
consuming public for small. juicy cuts
which cannot be obtained from older
sheep and the fact that sheep return
larger profits when marketed as
lambs are pointed out by l.. ]. Hor-
lacher, in charge Of sheep work at the
College of Agriculture, as the two
main reasons for this condition.
1.-THE most profitable lamb is the
one which reaches marketable weight
at an early age and requires a min
imum amount of feed. The most pop
ular weight for lambs is about so
pounds although early in the present
season those weighing around 45
pounds topped the market AS gen.
eral rule, no lamb weighing less than
90 pounds will bring top price.
Quality and breeding are contin-
uing to command a premium on our
markets. Experimental work at the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station has shown that lambs sired by
purebred rams not only weigh 10
pounds more a head when five months
old than those sired by scrub rams but
also that they sell for an average Of
so cents more 100 pounds because
OF their type and quality. After the
middle Of May, markets begin to dis
criminate against bucky lambs, the
loss on these having been as much as
"a hundred pounds in some in
stances already this year. The meat
from buck lambs is coarser and less
palatable than that from wether and
eve lambs.
Under average conditions, lambs
intended for the market should be
sold at weaving time Records at the
station farm show that during the hot,
summer months they make little or no
gain after they have been weaned. The
fact that prices always are less during
the fall months than they are earlier
in the season is an additional factor in

Cand0 Interest
ed in Scout Work

Scout Executive Leonard D. Fackler
returned last Thursday from three
day visit to Cando in behalf of the
Scout movement. While there he ad-
dressed the High School, boys rally,
and Sunday School meet, all in
the interest of the young life of the
community. Owing to the moving
away of several Scout leaders, Mr..
Fackler found it Necessary to interest
new leadership, which he was able to
do successfully. In getting the work
re-organized on a more permanent
basis there, the Scout Executive pre-
diets that the work to be done by the
Cando troops will be of high caliber.
Mr.. Fackler was invited to return
to Cando on November 5 and 6 when
he will hold another boys rally and
a young peoples rally on Sunday, and
on Monday will speak to the business
men of the community at the regular
meeting of the Welfare Club of the
community side of Scouting, with
reference to the organization of anoth-
er troop.

Robbery Series

the robbers who blew the safe of the
State Bank of Kramer, Bottineau
county about 10 miles from the Can
dian border, obtaining about $500 in
cash and currency, are members of a
bandit gang having RENDEZVOUS some

county, was expressed by Sheriff
Thoms Hennessy of Bottineau county
while in Minot. The Kramer yeggs
are believed the men are members
Of the same gang which, on the pre-
ceding night, entered the First State
bank of Barton, Pierce county, and al
so looted two Barton stores.
Sheriff Hennessy advances the
theory that the gang occasionally
dashes out to some small town in the
dead of night to loot banks or stores,
mixing their activities and shifting
their robberies considerable distances
to throw off suspicion Of gang opera
tions from common rendezvous.

THE POTATO SITUATION
Farm Bureau News)

This year Ramsey County has pro-
badly raised its largestsecerage of
potatoes. The yield is fairly salts
factory and the quality Of the potato
fairly good. The one discouraging
feature Of the potato business this
year is that the price is too low to
return profit. A mighty discourage
ing factor indeed, and one which will
undoubtedly bring about reduced
acreage Of potatoes next year. The
one who started raising potatoes this
year and has decided that one year
is enough is going to take quite a
loss but the history Of potato grow
ig has taught us that the man who
stays with it through the lean years
as well as the "fat" one is the one
who will reap financial reward. The
price of wheat is just as discourage
ing as the price Of potatoes but as
a rule year Of low priced wheat is
not followed by a reduced acreage.
The farmers of this section have be-
come accustomed to Improbable wheat
crops occasionally and they look upon
them as misfortunes but start the
next years seeding with new hopese,
and seed the usual acreage.
Why should potatoes not be con-
sidered if the same light and certain
acreage planted each year. The main
reason as we see it lays in the fact
that potatoes are grown as a sort
Of "clean up" crop or "get rich
quick crop" and if they do not bring
a big profit they are condem..,ed for
a few years at Led least. This is hit
or mss MSS farming and the one who
succeeds is lucky indeed. 4.
Fortunately there are not many
real large fields of potatoes in RAM
sey County this year and most of
those who started growing pota-
toes this year have not invested any
great amount of money in producing
their crops. Many have paid special
attention to producing good quality
potatoes and they are going to grow
into the potato business and learn it
as they go. These men are bound
to succeed as others have for in Ram
sey County we have soil and climatic
conditions that are very favorable for
potato production.

THE TENDERFOOT SCOUT

In the last two articles in this series
we have discussed the subjective side
of Scouting, and that the spirit of the
movement which makes of the boy
the sort of citizens that they ought
to be. We will now take up the OBJ
jective side Of Scouting.
There are three grades in Scout
craft through which boy progresses.
There are-Tenderfoot, Second Glass,
First Class. Until he becomes Tender
foot, he is known as candidate. In
order to reach the Pendelfeot d. ~ree
he : ::...s. pass three tests.
The first test is to know thoroughly
the wording and meaning of the Scout
oath and the Scout law. Then he must
know the Scout salute, the Scout sign,
the form and significance of the
Scout badge, the various forms of
Scout insignia, and be able to recog-
nize Scout uniform and Scout insig-
MIA in all circumstances.
His second test is to know thorough
ly the history of the American flag,
all forms of respect due the flag, and
the oath of allegiance of the flag.
This latter is to be repeated at every
troop meeting Of Scouts.
The third test is to be able to tie
accurately and quickly the following
nine knot: square, bowline, shee-bend
or weaver's fisherman's, sheeshank,
halter hitch, timber hitch, Glove hitch,
and two half-hitches. He must not
only be able to tie the knots, but
know when to use each one and why.
After successfully passing the ex-
animation in all Of these before his
Scoutmaster, the candidate is again
sworn to the Scout oath, is given the
Tenderfoot badge, and is recognized as
a fullfledged Scout with a voice in
Troop matters.

THE SCOUT LAW

After boy takes the Scout oath,
he learns the Scout law, which, with
the oath, comprises the basis for the
subjective teaching Of Scoutings.
The Scout law is:
A Scout-trustworthy, loyal, help
full, friendly, courteous, kind, obefi-
ent, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and
reverent.
1t will be noted that the first three
laws have to do with the boys own
standards for himself or what he is.
He pledges himself to be trusted. If
he violates his honor by cheating,
telling lie, or by not doing exactly
a given task, he realizes that he has
dropped from the plane where be-
longs, and that he has no complaint to
make if his badge is taken away from
him by his Scoutmaster as punish
ment. A scout is loyal to all to whom
loyalty is due, his Scoutleader, his
home, his parents, and his country.
He maintains the ideal of helpfulness,
being prepared at all times to save
life, help injured persons, share home
duties, and do at least one good turn
to someone every day.
The second three laws govern the
Scout as he is seen by the community.
He is friendly to all and brother to
every other Scout; courteous " ....,
especially to women and children, old
neon1e and the weak and ~, ,o,ss
never taking pay }or being helpful
and kind; and is kind friend to all
animals, neither killing nor hurting
any living creature needlessly, and try
ing to save and protect harmless life.
What Scout does for others and
his own attitude towards others is
expressed in the third group of the
Scout laws. He is obedent to his
parents, scoutmaster, patrol leader,
and all other duly constituted authori-
ties. His cheerfulness means that he
is always smiling, and his obedience
is CHEEKY in its promptness. He never
shirks no grumbles at hardship. His
thrift means that never wantonly
destroys property, that he saves his
his money SO he may pay his own way,
that he is generous to those in need
and helpful to worthy objects; and
although he works for pay must not
receive tips for courtesies or good
turns.
The last three laws indicate what
a scout is inside of himself, the motif
for his actions in life. These are
that his bravery is not that of the
physical alone, but that he will stand
up for the right despite the coaxing

and rulings of the department itself,
have been brought together in the
1921 report Of the North Dakota hail

information for interested persons.
The printed report also a series
of maps showing different factors
entering into the states hail insur-
ance work. One map shows the three
years average of insurance cost by
counties. These maps show the
highest cost has been in Dunn and
Williams. Nelson is at the other ex-
IRENE with the smallest cost. Thirty
nine counties in the state are below
the three year average of 5-1-0 per
cent while Is counties are above that
mark. Ten of the counties above the
three year average are west Of the
