CHANCE FOR FURTHER PROGRESS

The offer of the Northern Packing company to
take over the slaughtering of local animals for the
local trade at the same prices which are paid for
this service at the city abbatoir merits respectful
attention, for it points the way to further progress
in a direction in which Grand Forks has already
taken an advanced position. -
The city abbatoir was established to meet a
condition which, it was felt, could be dealt with
satisfactorily in no other manner. The old-time
slaughter house, which still persists in many places,
ment demanded it's abolition and thel substitution
for it of facilities for the preparation of meat under
wholesome and sanitary conditions.
The abbatoir was built and the s1aughterhouse
was abolished. The abbatoir has been in operation
tor several years, and its operation has been a dis
t'nct advantage to the city. 1t was not established
for profit. and it has yielded none. Instead, there
has been a loss of some $500 or $500 a year, a com
paratively small item which doubtless could be. cor
|rected by a readjustment of rates for killing. Aban-
|donment of the abbatoir would be out of the uues-
ton unless other facilities could be provided for per
forming the service as we'll or better.
If an arrangement can be made on the basis of
the Packing company's proposal the community will
have all the advantages which the abbatoir now pro-
v1des. plus the very great advantage of having all
killing done under the immediate supervision of
United States government inspectors, with the
guarantee of the government that all meat killed
here, whether for the Packing company itself or for
individual dealers, is, sound and wholesome in all
respects.
The proposal, as it has been stated to The
Herald. involves these features:
Local owners of livestock, whether private
individuals or dealers, may have their killing
done on their own account, as at present.
Charges for the service will remain un-.
changed.
The owner will receive the dressed meat,
to be disposed Of as he sees fit, and he may either
retain hides, ETC., or dispose of them at the cur
rent market price.
The community will be protected against
the vending, wilful or inadvertent, of unsound
meats, and Grand Forks will be one of the few
cities using none but government inspected
meats. 49,
The city will be relieved of a deficit which.
while not large, is worth taking into account,
and the abbatoir property will be available for
the handling of other products, such as' poultry,
and can, It's believed, thus be made to yield a
revenue instead of a deficit.
The abbatoir has served it's purpose acceptably
up to this time. 1t was built in response to a demand
for improved methods Of handling food. If still
better methods are available, without additional
cost, and without endangering the property rights
or the business interests of anyone, the same pro
gressive spirit will demand that the newer and better
methods be adopted. !,

MAKING A JOB OF IT.

There is a-nursery story about the troubles of
the old woman whose pig wouldn't 60 over the stle

the cat began to kill the rat the rat began to gnaw
the rope the rope began to hang the butcher the
butcher began to kill the. OK and So on, until at
last the pig went over the stile and the old woman
got home that night.
1t requirts close attention to keep clearly in
mind all the conditions of the story, and. to deter
mine whether the butcher was, a partisan of the pig
or the cat Of the OK; But that story is no more com

are the affiliations of the creatures in the story any

AMERICAN II

In 1869, DR.. Horatio T.. Wood wrote
an account. of the effects of American
hashish, cannabis, or hemp.
In experimenting with this drug on
himself, he took an enormous dose at
four that afternoon. At seven, he
noticed that he had lost his sense Of
time. II hastily arose and apologize
ed for remaining so long, but was as
sured I had only been a very few
minutes. I returned home. BY this
time, I was quite excited, and a feel
ing of hilarity now rapidly increased.
1t was not a sensuous feeling, in the
ordinary meaning of the term; it was
not merely an intellectual excitation
it was a sort. of well being. the very
opposite Of malaise. 1t did not come
from without: it was not connected
with any passion. or sense. It was
simply feeling OF inner j]oyousness:
the heart seemed buoyant beyond ali
trouble; the, whole system felt as
though all sense Of fatigue was for-
ever Vanished The mind gladly ran
riot, free constantly to leap from one
idea to another, apparently unbound
from its ordinary laws. I was dis
posed to laugh; to make comic ges-
lures one very frequently requiring

lean citizens who come to Washing
ton in the government service, wheth-
err to elective Offices, such as those of
senator and representative I'M congress,
or to appointive offices, learn a great
deal about practical business meth
DDS and finance. The government is
SO closely allied with business that
the servants of the government, are
thrown into close contact with the
great business machine.
These officials may be divided into
two groups. differentiated by the
things which they learn concerning
national business affairs. One group
is that which learns from the tipsters
and lobbyists. This groups members
may be subdivided into those who GO
home broke and those who go home
rich, the former sadder but wiser
pricks from their consciences. The
other general group is composed OF
those who apply themselves to a sci
entific study of the information which
their functions legitimately bring be-
fore them. These usually stay out OF
business entirely or go into it in q
manner so cautious that they are sue
cessful. M
In every group of men, whether
they are ditch-diggers or statesmen,
there will be found some susceptible
to the Wallingford call of get rich
quick. The halls of congress and the
ante-rooms of executive offices of the
government will have just as many
lobbyists and sure-thing men in them
as feel they will find a welcome. The
number of both elective and appoin-
tive officials who do welcome such
~ rouS$ar hos hna~ w~Nrnj - fo1uov a a
fewer every year, but there are some
left. a.
The lobbyist who seeks to curry IA
vor with q member, of either house OF
senate frequently will. give him tips
on the stock market. Not infrequent-
ly these statesmen act upon such in
formation. Sometimes the tips are
good. More often they are not. But
it is a part Of human frailty, that the
gambling temperament loses
hope and so tips continue to be taken
and acted upon. There have been not
a few instances OF country lawyers
doctors. storekeepers. Or farmers who
have como to, Washington and been
beguiled by. the lobbyists and the
smooth confidence man., Most OF
these go home like shorn lambs.
What Wise Ones Can Do.

conservative one--the scientific stu.

but outright. The momentaryi fluc-
tuation cannot disturb him. His pur-
chases are based on a knowledge of
the supply and demand of various
commodities in the country and what
they are likely to be for a long time
IN advance. He cannot be fooled. He
merely hangs on until the price of his
stock rises to a point where he he

biz men appear to think that these
particular stocks are not going any

The general feeling is that the fun

States are getting better slowly but
steadily and the above analysis does
not apply to everything. A certain
type of stocks was under discussion,
and what was said reveals the man
ner in which the stock market is
played from the two opposing angles.
1t is agreed by those whb know
most about the subject that there is
no royal road to knowledge OF the
business situation and to the gateway
Of opportunity in the teeming world
of American trade. It is agreed also,

HOROSCOPE.
SATURDAY, JANUARY IS. 1922.

4 Again good and evil planetary
influences contend. according to as
trology. While Saturn, Mercury and
Jupiter are in benefic aspect, Nep-
tune and Mars are strongly ad-
verse.
The planetary government is most
promising for all who are interested
in real estate. 1t is lucky sway for
both buying ana selling.
Leases and contracts signed today
should be most favorable to all con-
cerned.
There is promising sign for
merchants and Importers who will
profit from enterprises begun to-
day.
Advertising and publicity have
the best possible direction and will
most benefit large corporations.
Neptune seems to foreshadow
some some sort of a furry con-
corning. oil and legal difficulties
seem to be indicated
1t is not a lucky day to begin
ocean voyages, or indeed, journeys
of any sort, IL they have any COM
mercial significance.
During this rule the mind may
be strongly inclined toward in
diligence in all sorts of physical
pleasure. Eating and drinking will
be especially alluring to those who
find joy in material things.
This is day in which to be-
ware of entrance to a quarrel for
the mind is easily disturbed and
false judgments are likely to be
reached.
The position of Neptune in this
months lunation denotes many
scandals in high life. intrigues and
sensational divorce suits.
Many party differences will de-
velop in Congress and there is like
~ to be more than one sensational
incident this month, astrologers de-
clare. 49,.
Health. matters will he promi-
nently discussed next month and
hospitals will greatly benefit.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury Of success in their
affairs. Speculation is likely to be
lucky. There may be unusual dan
ger Of accidents.
Children born on this day should
be steady and reliable. GefNrosity
is likely to be a distinguishing
| trait, but they should be taught
self-control.

By FRANCES TREGo MONTGOMERY.

After the hired man at the
farm had set the milk pail down
and gone away there was heard
a familiar sound.
M-e-o-u, m-e-o-u," and look
ing round, Stubby spied Button
hiding under the lilac bushes.
Say. Stubby, you must take a
drink OF that warm milk. 1t is
delicious and goes straight to
the spot after such an early
morning run as we have had"
Il know il, but I don't like
to stick my nose in the pail and
spoil all the milk.
"Oh, don't be so fnicky. the

Thus persuaded. Stubby at last
did as Button had suggested, for
he was very thirsty and hungry,
and the smell of the good things
cooking in the kitchen had made
him doubly so. So he jumped up
on the bench intending to take
only one taste, but as Button
had said. 1t was so delicious he
could not stop. and before he
knew it he had taken a long
drink

She came out with three pans
in her hand to strain the milk.
but what was her disgust to md
that there was only milk enough
for two pans instead of three, as
there had always been before.
Seeing Pete coming toward the
house she called to him:
Blossom must have kicked the
pail this morning and spilled
some CT the milk, didn't she?"
why. no, what makes you
think so?"
There is only milk enough for
two pans"
THAT is strange, for 1 had the
pail running over and was
thinking how much more milk
Blossom was giving since we put
her in the new pasture
Then you must have spilled

walked to the house"
IT don't think I did, but I
can't account for its shortage i'm

on shaking his head in a puz-
zled manner.

relented instantly. She seemed like

guess I was just jealous because
another man dared to look at you!,
There was something boyish and
almost helpless in his confession,
and Jeanne forgave him gently. He
was happy again.
Inwardly Jeanne was smiling. The
little incident had proved to her
that her hold on Barstowe was
stronger than that of his mother.
She knew the affair of Bonnicetti
had gone against the Barstowe
grain both with mother and son,
but the latter had been easily won
over.
Jeanne knew now what her course
must be.
She must weld Vic to her by
every bond of which she was cap
able and she must do II. so. unob-
trusively as not to antagonize his
family or give them cause for a
definite break in friendly relations.
From Mrs. Barstowe's attitude
that afternoon, she saw that it was

was to be accepted socially. e-,,r-
