Punishment by Ostracisn

OstraciSm was a method employed
by the ancient Athenians of banishing
citizens whose influence was consider
ing prejudicial to the state. A day
for voting was fixed, when the people
wrote on small earthen tablets or
shells the names of those whom they
wished banished. Six thousand votes
were necessary to drive man into
exile. To ostracize today means to
ignore, to exclude from a certain So
clal circle.

Disabling Country

1t has been estimated that II the
work of erosion performed by water
on the total surface of our country
were concentrated on the Isthmus of
Panama, it would suffice to cut canal
from ocean to ocean So feet deep In
about 70 days.
The average annual erosion pro-
duced by water in the United States
corresponds to the removal of layer
about 3A feet thick in 3,40O years.
1t is figured that our rivers transport
every year 270,00O,00O tons of solid
matter and 513,OOO,OOO tons of matter
in a state of suspension.

Worlds Most Tragic Man

Chance plays a smaller part in life
than some people think. The least
beginning may lead to the greatest
end. Every day, hour and minute
men are building or neglecting to
build. Events that they attribute to
luck are nearly always due to some
act, thought or purpose long since for
gotten. Frequently worthy beginnings
of the least promising kind have led
to consequences beyond the widest
hopes or dreams. There Is only one
really tragic figure in life, and that
is the man who never makes a start

Humane Mendgeries

Karl Hagenbeck was the first show
man to train large carnivorous ami
mails of different species to perform
together. He also introduced a new
way of confirming animals in outdoor
menagerles. In his geological garden
at Stelllngen, suburb of Hamburg,
there were no gratings or wires about
the space occupied by groups of large
mammals, broad meats of water be
ing employed to confine them.

make every effort to secure the CO

During the danger seasons-fall and
spring-the main attention Of the fire
protection forces is devoted to prevent

the forests are systematically patrolled,
and careful look-outs are maintained
from high points. Roads and trails
are built so that all parts Of the forests
may be quickly reached; tools and
| food for the use of the ire-fghters
are stored at convenient places. The

overcome themselves.
There may be no need for alarm,

SOMEBODY is sPOOFING THEM.

Under this caption the "News Trib-
une" of Duluth cogently and pertin-
emily says:
Recent editorials in the Sioux
Falls "Argus-Leader" and the "Sioux
City Tribune" expressing doubt as to
whether the st. Lawrence waterway
would be of any benefit to the farm
ers in their section of the country
rather looks as though this territory
needed reselling on the waterway pro-
ject.
"It also looks as though the par
able regarding the enemy who came
along and sowed tares in the field
where the good seed had been plant
ed was being reenacted.
1.-THE Iowa paper expresses the fear
that the waterway might hurt Ameri-
can farmers by giving Canadian
wheat an easier outlet to European
markets, arguing that when the Can
adams can ship by water at much low
er cost, the ultimate world price OF
wheat, corn, etc., will be much lower
"The Sioux City paper is, of course,
entirely faulty in its reasoning. Were
it's contention true it would mean
that the people in this section were
willing to spend great sum of money
to build waterway to give Europe
cheaper grain and flour, and we have
not quite reached that philanthropic
stage. We are interested in the
waterway because it will translate
the saving in transportation cost in
to a higher price on American mar
kets and American farms. Of course,
Canada would reap the same benefit,
but it would not reap that benefit at
our expense.
"It can not too often be emphasized
that, roughly speaking, the price of
wheat in any market is the world
price less the cost of transportation
from that market to Liverpool. The
Department of Commerce estimates
that it costs 171s cents to transport
a bushel of wheat from Duluth to
Liverpool, but that if the St. Lawrence
waterway was in operation that cost
would be cut to between and II
cents a bushel, which would mean
that much higher a price for wheat
on the American market.
at looks as though some interest
ed party had been spoofng our friends
in Sioux City and Sioux Falls"
