This lovely world holds so much
happiness.
The sunset hangs a promise in the
skies.
The tranquil stars shine out at night

The lonely with a dream of Para

Sometimes the beauty of the golden
day
Floods over every hedge and apple
bough.
Death seems a shadow very far away,
AS If we two were safe in Heaven

After that the bidding varied. Those
West players, who had cut their eye
teeth, passed a spade like creased
lightning. North bid one no trump
and South mentioned his other suit.
Here a little point came up. West
passed again, and some Norths gave a
preference bid of two spades instead
of passing two hearts. They argued
that flve-tWo suit is much better
than four-three suit, but without
going into a long and involved dis
cuSsion, I am going to state simply
that I pick three suit every
time. West has chance to double
two spades, and he will not fail to
seize that chance but he must lie low
when South mentions hearts, and it
is very doubtful if East will have
nerve enough to double. As proof of
the pudding number of teams played

CONDITIONS BETTER
Federal Statistician Sees I'm.
provsmsnt In Ranges,
Cattle and Lambs

The conditions Of ranges, cattle and
calves and sheep and lambs on March
l was slightly above that Of . month
ago, according to the range and live
stock report Of the federal agricul-
tural statistician's office at Fargo.
The improvement Is attributed to
milder weather during the month Of
February. Above normal tempera-
ture and below normal precipitation
was general throughout the state as
indicated by weather reports from
stations at Moorhead. Bismarck, Dew
lis Lake and Williston. The mean
temperature for February was 1871
degrees which was 1873 degrees above
normal as contrasted with 10 degrees
below normal for January. Precipi-
tation averaged .lS inch compared
with 81 inch normal for this period.
Prospects for spring range are gen.
orally poor throughout the state
mainly q q result Of the extremely
dry weather last summer and fall.
Feed supplies are generally short.
Stock water Is generally sufficient in
all areas.
Death losses have been below nor
NAL for cattle and sheep but slightly
above normal for horses. Insuffic-
lent feed has been the cause Of most
deaths. In many cases horses are in
an undernourished condition and
feeding Of grains will be necessary
to put them in good shape for spring
filling.
February Ranges Improve
North Dakota ranges improved dur
ing February with warmer weather
and less precipitation. Their condi-
ton was 48 per cent Of normal COM
pared with 46 month ago, "a year
ago and 72.S. the 10-year average.
North Dakota cattle and calves
gained one per cent in condition dur
ing the month. Favorable weather
has kept them from losing In flesh
and for the next two months weather
will be the determining factor Of their
condition due to the lack Of range
feed and inability to feed concen-
trates. Their condition was SO per
cent Of normal compared to 68 a
month ago, rs year ago and 82.4 the
ten.year average.
Accompanying the slightly improved
condition Of cattle and calves, North
Dakota sheep and lambs also i'm
proved. The condition was a per
cent Of normal compared with 73 last
