AS INVESTORS

The fake stock promoter and
salesman who has taken millions of
hard earned money from the people
of this country has always regarded
the widow as his special prey; the
combination of n little ready money
and complete financial inexperience
was all that was needed to enlist
his attention and interest.
Fortunately for women, modern
life draws them more and more into
businesses to escape the snares of
exploitation of this sort. The girl
of today progresses to marriage and
a home Of her own through a thor
ough course of school and of self
support. She has some notion of
the value of money and enough
shrewdness not to accept the state
ments Of a glib stock salesman at
their face value.
The small amount Of business
training that the average woman
gets, even today, does not give her
a thorough financial education, but
II encourages a sane skepticism in
her. Few women-or men, for
that matter-ever learn enough
about investments to buy securities
intelliRently and successfully. What
a few women and men do learn is to
distinguish the competent financial
advisers from the incompetent, true
friends from the false. Business
training that will accomplish this
is particularly valuable for women,
who have been vulnerable to the
attacks Of financial wolves.

NOT so VERY LOW"

Captain Edward Salisbury. ex-
plorer and scientist, has just re-
turned from a three years cruise
in the far East. and reports that the
natives Of the ALBANIAN Islands, in
the Bay of Bengal, are 'the lowest
human beings in the scale of civili-
zation alive today"
Captain Salisbury says that the
ALBANIAN islanders are so low in
human development that they are
unable to kindle a fire, and sub
sist on herbs and raw fish which
they spear and shoot with bow and
arrow. They have a fire on the
Islands, probably brought there
years ago by Chinese sailors, but
they do not know its uses. They
think it is a gift of the gods, and
keep the embers always burning.
But several characteristics of
these pigmy natives, who attain a
height Of only about four feet, are
interesting. The explorer reports
that women do not do all the heavy
work, as is the case with many
most savage tribes. He also re-
lates that the tribe is SO mild-man-
nered that no form of punishment
exists. If a quarrel breaks out
between two natives, they T treat
ed with complete by the rest
of the tribe. No warfare exists
among them, and they are consider
ate of the feelings of others.
These the scientist naiveiy in
cludes in the list of characteristics
which prove the ALBANIAN Islanders
as "lowest" in the human scale. A
little more such 'lowpess" as peace
full habits, ne punishment, consider
alton for others and scorn for
quarrels would make many a nation
high" in the history of civilization
justly ashamed of itself.
Is it, after all, an advance or a
r~etrogression we have made from
the pigmies Of the ALBANIAN islands,

Crickets Fought

THERMOPOLIS, wyo.. July 8. -
The army OF Mormon crickets that
this spring in the foothills
along Buffalo creek, reached the east
side OF the river opposite Thermop-
OILS. The main force OF invaders has
passed on but is followed by large
groups of straggiers that are still
putting up n good fight. Their course
is a little west Of due north and when
turned or interrupted in their march
they soon stralghten out and follow
their chosen course.
It is remarkable that the damage
they have lone is not greater. In the
range country, to which they have
been largely confined, one can hardly
SEQ that they have eaten any of the
grass. Shrubbery and lawns on the
Hot Springs reserve. where they are
very thick. have not suffered at all.
Grain seems to be pretty well i'm.
mune from their attacks but gardens
and tender vegetation suffer greatly.
When they struck the state reserve
Superintendent Divine had a roller
u all day running back and forth
along the road and a.. force of men
and boys fighting the pests back.
Large numbers were killed or caused
TO detour around the reserve but
many others got by the guards. The
town has had men all the week sta,

trolled and self contained, the ideal
type of the small landed proprietor
that has been the backbone of sew
eral modern nations.
The American pioneer farmers
who have moved, every generation
or two. from Plymoth to Shasta,
must wonder at the stubborn fixity
of this French family. Yet the
wandering pioneer sought the old
in the new. He wanted deer and
unbroken land and his own way.
He moved for sameness.
Not all our farmers move for
pioneering reasons. Much Of the
shifting of our agricultural popula-
ton is caused by the tenant farm
system. In parts Of the South,
where great plantations are the rule,
an annual migration, if only to the
next farm, is almost as likely a part
of the life of the share cropper or
renter as coon hunting in the fall
or cursing the boil weevil in the
summer. North Carolina at the
moment is trying to establish all
her good white farmers on their
own places, and il her plans sue

Poublans among the Tar Heels in

AN UNABANDONED
FARM

France has never had to worry
about abandoned farms. The sta
bility of her peasant population is
~proverbial. But even in a nation
where it is the usual thing for a
family to till the same soil for gen.
erations an example of permnnence
discovered recently by a writer for
the American Agricultural is strik-
ing and thought provoking. Down
in the Bases Payenees, near the
Spanish border, the Poublan family
has known seed time and harvest
on its 200 acres since the year 1923.
Napoleon, Columbus. the Crusaders
and William the Conqueror could
not lure these home folk away.

NOT WISE TO HECKLE

A wise and upright judge in Buff
falo refuses to cite certain editors
before His Honor, the Mayor, to ex-
plain why they have criticized vice
conditions. He says. 81 am thor
oughly impressed with the view that
it would be unwise to heckle and
annoy the press" II the Mayor
or anybody else in Buffalo has been
libeled by the newspapers of that
town the aggrieved party has cause
Of action. He can appeal to the
courts and if he establish his case
he can collect damages. Moreover,
he can appear before any local
grand jury and press a charge of
criminal libel.
Speaking broadly, the press should
be permitted to go farther in criti-
cism of public officials than in crit
icism of private individuals. Jeffer-
son thought so. He regarded criti-
cism as healthful, as a proper inter
probation Of the slogan that "eter-
nal vigilence is the price of lib
crty."
And yet thin-skinned officials,
frequently caught in the act, arc
first to invoke legal measures
against Journals that jot down their
i~ndiscretions. All thin-skinned
officials are not crooks, but we

cancer, a crook fensting at the pub

LIABILITY
RULE GIVEN
Deposits in Bank Not or
Set for DepOsitOrs

Stockholders in closed state banks
NAV not escape double liability by
otr-setting deposits they had in the
bank when it closed. District Judge
James F.. Coffey decided in the case
of G. H. Reimers, receiver for the
Citizens State Bank of Pingree
against c. II. Simpson.
The case is typical of many other
cases arising from closing OF banks
in the state, c. l.. Young, attorney
for the Guaranty Fund Commission
and for Mr.. Reimers in this case,
said today.
The receiver sought to collect ST.
125.OO, double liability, costs and in
teresk. Mt Simpson had certifi-
Gates of deposit in the bank when it
closed, and he claimed that these
must be counted as an offset to the
stock liability.
Another case of liability of bank
stockholders, Mr.. Young said, is
pending before Judge Berry in the
Stark district court. In this case
Chas. F. Kellogg, receiver of the
Citizens State Bank of Hazen, sought
to compel j. A. Hollst to pay addi-
tional liability. Hollst, in a de-
murrer, argued that the additional
liability could not be claimed where
the examiner had not ordered an
assessment, the demurrer being over
ruled and the case remaining in
court for final trial.

pose of making wasteful maximum

THIRD WOLF KILLING CONTEST IN
CAVALIER COUNTY IS UCCESSFUl

Cavalier, N. D., May 2.-Wolf kill
ing contests now are firmly fixed as
annual affairs in Pembina county.
The idea of a wolf hunt was
broached three years ago. Each of
the last two contests has been more
successful than its predecessor.
The third contest extended from
Dec. l, 1922 to April l, 1923, a period
during which only coyotes pretty welt
grown would be killed. The county
commissioners offered $50 to the
persons killing the greatest number,
$25 for second prize, SIS and $40 for
third and fourth prizes. In addi-
tion 500 was set aside to be divided
