Despite it's own experience and

states Of Minnesota and South Da-
kota in the business OF farm loans.
North Dakota continues to put the
credit Of the state behind such
loans This is evident by the an
nouncement that $1,000, 900 more OF
farm loan bonds viii be offered TO

and has Assets and resources that
make them secure. The difficulty
lies with che security which the
state and its taxpayers have for
the recovery Of the money, raised
by these Bonds and loaned on farm
lands. That rests with political

values and wisdom in selecting ap

GET AWAY FROM
"MERENESS"

Theodore Roosevelt was of the
opinion that the "mere lawyer" was
not superior to, but rather the in7>
ferior Of, the "mere" dentist or
mere bricklayer as public official.
Doubtless he would have preferred
something beyond. the mere" grade
of any sort. Certainly the "mere"
politician. though not the most in.
competent, is decidedly the most
dangerous of all.
AND the "mcre" publicist. who in
his library has studied, it all out, is
likely to be an invaluable assistant,
but useless leader.
The best thing is to get away from
"mereness" of any sort. But that is
not easy, in this day of specialism,
when we absolutely must act on en-
pert knowledge, and the man who is
not mere something in particular
is likely to be nothing in general.
1t is sometimes a choice between
the rank amateurs, who know moth
ing about anything, and the ''mere"
specialists, who know everything
about something and nothing about
anything else.
Only once in while we find
Roosevelt, who is. an intelligent anna
teur of everything and something
more than a mere" expert in some
thing.

ADVENTURE OF

I The March Hare took the Twins
to the place where the circus was,
away down south.
They sat on his back and he cover

until he got there.

FABLES ON HEALTH
HEART ATTACKS

Sudden death from heart disease
is uncommon. This statement is
made in the face Of popular con-
ception that persons, suffering heart
trouble, are likely to die at any mo-
ment.
This conception has been built up
because sudden death is so spectacu-
lar that it makes good news, and
newspapers play up the story"
There are certain types of heart
disease in whice death may come
very abruptly, but these form a very
small group as compared with the
total number of cardiac cripples.
AS a rule heart patients, even
when they do badly, carry their de-
feet for many years, and in the end

the changes are very slow and grad
ual.
Painting spells are not always due
to heart disease. There is a car
diac condition in which fainting is
a prominent symptom. But this con-
dition is rare.
Headaches, nausea, dizziness, in
somnia, WEAKNESS and fevers may
possibly be caused from weak
heart, but the chances are that these
are. caused from some other DISABLE.
ty.
About the only safe course for
person in doubt is to consult q repu-
table physician. His tests can tell
IT there is something wrong with
the heart, and he can advise what
to do to remedy the situation, if
there be remedy.
