Editorial Comment
A Great Turnover
(St. Paul DisIatchl


No is to be blamed for associating North
Dakota with wheat. That state raises one-fifth
of all the wheat grown in the United States II
grows just twice as much as Kansas and it's pro-
duotion Of spring wheat equals that of the four
states Minnesota, Montana, South Dakota and
Washington. Hence the association of ideas de-
mands that North Dakota shall remain another
name for wheat.
Still NORTH Dakotans are not satisfied They
not satisfied be first in production OF flax,
one-third of tie counrys total crop, or first in
rye or barley production. These matters sta
tisical which substaniated by the United States
crop report figures of December. North Dakota
has other ambitions - newly aroused These
are voiced by the Greater North Dakota associa-
ton, which on Monday issued statement cover
ing these facts, matter of PRIDE and then add
ing new fact that is likely to change popular
conception of the states agricultural activities II
it can sink in.
That fact is: That although the state grew one
fifth of all the wheat in the United States, the
value OF its diversified crops-cattle. dairy pro-
ducts, poultry, potatoes. honey, vegetables and
alfalfa, averaged for the past five years-exceeds
the value of its enormous wheat crop! That j.,
something new in North Dakota, where the folk
were pictured being welded to the onecrop no
ton. 1t puts the state In different light. It s
not all wheat and small grains. 1t is and it is
getting to- be every year more and more a state OF
diversified farming and all the Greater North Da-
kota association asks is that the world recognize
the change. Evidently the depression OF 1920 was
the rock in the road that Jared agriculture out Of
the one-crop rut in that state.

The Struggle Is Not Unavailing

Here are two very dissimar things to think
about; the tiny coral insect existing in blind con
tent under the waters Of the blue Pacifc, anc
the lonely philosopher sitting in his study ponder
ing the ways of men and shaking his head over the
DEGREES OF fate.
The little coral insect thinks. and the old
philosopher thinks too much: and, strangely enough
the insect is right and the philosopher is wrong.
For the philosopher bordering over the ways OF
men, comes conclusion something like this:
..Manknd does not know where it is going and
it. does There is purpose in its striv
iilgs, and the goals it would like to aim for for
out OF its reach It possesses neither wisdom
vision courage; it cannot move without
leaders, and when it gets them they are either bad
leaders who are followed to ruin good who
are cruciGed 1t is world without purpose,
doomed to weller forever in blind acceptance Of
aimless stagnaton.'
And the insect knowing and caring nothing of its
destiny eats the particles that drift through the
water, grows old and dies; and presently there is
palm fringed island in the sea.
Now on the surface the philosopher seems to he
right

New York, Jan. 8.--See-sawing up
and down Manhattan Isle wandered
into the little world of art exhibits
that centers at 57th street. And at
the Art Center came upon as fine
a memorial to as remarkable per-
sonality as modern dai' America has
produced.
That personality was John Quinn
freshman. He was born in Tiffin, O..
But had he been born and reared on
Erin's soil-and he often regretted
that he had not-he doubtless would
have been one of the great rebels.
But his fighting spirit and rebel
instinct found outlet in due time.
Quinn studied law and in the course
Of years appeared on Wall Street
where he became an cminently sue
cessfu and wealthy legal light.
There was too much Of the Irish
dreamer and poet in him TO keep him
satisfied with mere business success.
He became the associate of writer's
and artists and soon he was gather
ing to himself great art collection.
It was not to the conventional "old
masters" that he turned. No. Quinn
was sr artistic rebel. He defended
the ultra moderns as fast as they
turned up. He bought the greatest
Of Van Gogh. Cezanne, Picasso, Seu-
rat and the rest. His apartment in
West End avenue became cluttered
with anything and everything Of the
great moderns. Paintings piled .
dozen deep in closets and under beds.
They covered the walls and flowed
over to the floor.
The public at large, however, had
no chance to see them. And then
Quinn died. So. in the Art Center,

attention than any other of the year,
