 Julia never made any objection. never hinted by so much as re proachful eyelid, that Miss Toland's way of doing things was not that usually adopted. Julia would show her delight when a shopping tour and lunch downtown were substi- tuted for a sewing lesson; she docilelv pushed back her boiling potatoes and beef stew when Miss Poland was for delaying supper while they went out to buy a waffle iron and make some experiments with batter.

1 efficiency will not apply. There are
 many who feel that the American college is putting out a very poor scholarly product. On the other hand lege from the standpoint of practical efficiency.
 "A New Y York banker in sympathy with higher education has made the comment: Apart from the fact that the college does not teach young men anything that will be useful to them fin business. my observation has made me suspect that it is deficient in another important particular, nam ely that the young men are no taught accuracy, perseverance, and an insa- table appetite flor hard work ''The college finds it's mission in the true ends of education which I con- ceive to be chiefly two; first to ac- quaint the individual, with the spir- itua1 possessions of the race, that is its literature, its art. its science, it's history. It thus helps meet the high
 es needs of the students nature, that of self-development.
 The second end of education is to assist the individual to fulfill the practical demands of life in the ac- complishment of such tasks or call ings as will enable him to care for the physical needs of himself and of those dependent upon him, and per form faithfully his duties as a mem Der of human society The college
 then, in brief, is to develop the man. and prepare him to get on in the practical affairs of life. and it's eff ciency cannot be judged from either standpoint without the other. If we want greater efficiency in college work. we must be more care ul about opening too widely the front door. We must awake to the fact. before we undertake it, that we cannot make a mahogany table out of
 bass wood boards. The way to inn
 prove the quality of our product is
 to sort out the worthless material at
 the beginning.
 We cannot improve the product of
 our colleges by such a reorganization
 of the curriculum and by such cor
 relations and combinations of sub
 jects as will more closely relate its
 activities to the movements of life in
 the present time.
 The college can improve it's pro-
 duct by paying more attention to the
 pedagogy of college teaching and by
 better educational teaching.''

The ticle on that subject reads: Home papers say that this hot weather drives everybody to drink, even the women. The new women are not satisfied with the ordinary two-by-fOur mixture of white marble which supplies sweetened efferVescent water, as the up-to-date thirst refuses to be quenched with any such simple soothing syrup The new woman wants a drink with snap and a fizz to go with it. Of course. she does not want anything that will go to her head, such the bitter flavor of hops or rye. But when she comes to the soda fountain she usually orders something that looks pretty and inn portant-never mind the taste. The other day a lady came into fash ionable drugstore and asked for the new drink called the Mckinley Boom. The man at the fountain never heard of the new Tangled drink before but was equal to the occasion. He said. yes.

The Independent recalls the time,
only few years ago, when the first
silo was built in Ward county.
When the writer came to North
akota twenty years ago, a corn plan
ter or a corn plow was an unheard
of implement III northwestern North
Dakota.
There were no fields Of corn. This
product was said not to mature in a
territory lying so far north. The
frost was sure to kill the corn before
it could mature.
Finally, some brave farmer did
plant an early variety of corn and it
matured. The man won fame and the
glad tidings was heralded thru. the
state press.
The Independent recorded the first
load Of ear corn "seen on the streets
of Minot", and played up with good
sized type the fact that some farmer
had built the first corn crib known in
Ward county
This is now all history. 1t would be
surprising to know how many acres OF
splendid mature corn has been grown
in Ward county during the year 1922:
Nearly every farmer has a good sized
field of one of the half dozen or more
varieties of corn that does we'll in
this latitude. Corn averaging so bu-
shells or more per acre is not an un-
common record in northwestern
North Dakota and there have been
much heavier yields.
The Farm Bureau, commercial clubs
and other organizations which have
been boosting the better farming
movement and crop rotation, are get
ting results, even tho this may not be
apparent to everyone.
The corn cultivator sales last spring
in the northern half of North Dakota
far exceeded in number the sales of
disc harrows and plows that are usu-
ally sold at that time Of the year.
Potato planters last spring outsold
grain drills with every concern that
offered them for sale, and potato dig
gers this fall will repeat the perform
ance.
Minot implement dealers have en-
joyed this year with the good wheat
crop the largest binder sales they
have had since 1916, and at that corn
binders. which were practically un-
known here few years ago outsold
grain binders in Minot and the same
is true at several points in the Mouse
