According to the papers he has seized seven ice plants. The telephone girl’s voice loses its sweetness after one has been told for five times within that many minutes that the line is busy. Now that the country has learned how to celebrate a.safe and sane Fourth of July, the day is not far dis- tant when we will have a election. similar Dean H. L. Russell of the Univer- ity of Wisconsin spoke at Cass Lake last Saturday along agriculaural lines and that city was indeed for- tunate in hearing a man so well vers- ed in that particular branch of Tn- dustry. That city considered it a rare treat and gave the professor a fitting reception. An exchange figured out the fact that the United States ranked seven- teenth in farming efficiency of all the countries of the globe. Taking as, a basis the average world yield per acre on staple crops which included, corn, potatoes, wheat, rye, barley, oats and practically everything with the exception of cotton which was ex- cluded on accound of its confined growth, it showed that sixteen doun- tries led our own. Uusing the index figure 100 to in- dicate the average, Uncle Sam’s bat- ting average was only 108, contrast- ed, to his shame with the following: Hungary, 113; Austria, 120; France, 123; Norway, 118; Sweden, Chile and Canada, each 136; Japan 137; Egypt, 161; New Zealand, 167; Denmark, 168; Germany, 169; United Kingdom 177; Switzerland, 202; Netherlands, 209, and little Belgium crowded to the gunwales, 221. At the beginning, none of these countrles had anything more in rich- ness of soil. But while they have been learning through the centuries to farm with their minds as well as with their hands, how many Americ- ans, do you suppose, have been doing as John Smith did up in the Red River Valley of North Dakota? A writer in the Chicago Record-Herald vouches for the story: Thirty years ago, when Smith set- 5 tled there, the wheat yield was con- sidered way below par if it did not run up to 30 bushels an acre. As for the rich loam, it seemed inexhaus- tible—you could harldy. dig to the botton of it. So John skimmed the cream and took little thought for the morrow. Today he is having trouble to get an average yield of 13 bushels to the acre( and is thinking _of “quitting this gosh-danged place” and hiking into northwestern Canada. But it was all John’s fault. He has actually let-$388.60 of value per acre slip through his fingers in 30 Years by his neglect to put back some of the fertility ofwhich he was so thoughtlessly robbing as fine soil as the sun ever shone on. Better send your boy to an agri- cultural school. The next generation will have the job of correcting John’s mistakes. —_——— The Reign of The People These are days of ascendent dem- ocracy. The reign of the people is coming, and in a number of former strongholds of -special privilege cer- taln ears which have long been out of tune with progressive thought are| now bent earnestly to the ground. The belated theory now is that it is better. to yield to the public will in time, than, stubbornly resisting to 3 be overwhelmed in the rising tide of popular rule, { The Supreme Court is the latest ) ¢ to feel along the nerve of public opin- i ion.and adjust its. own mental pro- cesses raccordingly.

Em- ploying the facility with which it once “interpreted” into laws things the lawmakers never intended should in these laws and dissolved trusts in a manner highly satisfactory and profitable to the human ingredients of the solutions, the court now dis- covers strong constitutional grounds for sustaining popular legislation. The recent rate decisions, sustaing the right of states to fix by law minimum rates which railroads may charge, and the decision affirming the Jjurisdiction of the federal govern- ment over water power in streams are examples of the way the new idea is working out. The court has also recently affirmed the constiutional validity of a number of laws demand- ed by public opinion. Judged by its decisions of the past year, the Sup- reme Court is now a popular tribunal. Not the Same. Miss Annette Kellerman, the fair swimming champion, was showing a young millionaire, in the sparkling wa- ters off Long Island, a few new strokes, The young milllonaire was not a very apt pupil. He lumbered along, with a good deal of splash but not much speed, and after swimming 20 or 30 yards he puffed like a grampus. Miss Kellerman, in her pretty bath- ing suit, took him to task. “You don’t breathe right,” she said. “If you did, it wouldn't tire you so. As to the upper part of your body—you use exactly the same muscles, reriem- ber—in swimming as in sawing wood.”" “Oh, no, I don’t!” said the young man. “Oh, no! Belleve me, Miss Kellerman, when it comes to sawing wood I use the muscles of some other chap.” Meaning of Flagler's Fortune. The Flagler estate of $100,000,000 passes as-ag incident in the day's news. The $100,000,000 fortune in America causes no surprise. And yet the amount is larger than all the money in all the banks of Amerien in 1840, larger by far than the govern- ment’s annual recelpts previous to the Civil war, larger than all the money {n circulation in the United Btates in 1830. But today we count our wealth 2 tens of billions, and thds the mil ‘ion becomes ordinary.—Philadelphia Ladga» Typhold From Rural Distrlcts. The New York board of health has reissued a pamphlet by Dr. Charles F. Boldman on the relative prevalence of typhoid fever in urban and rural dis tricts. In these vacation days it 1s im- portant for city dwellers to realize that, in the words of Dr. Boldman, “over half of the typhoid infections oc- curring in the city of New York are of rural origin.” That typhoid may be more prevalent In citles than in the country, in pro- portion to population, is neither here nor there, for a single case of typhold on a farm has been known to give rise to more than three hundred cases in New York city. The reason, of course, Is that all the water and most of the food used in:the city comes from the country. This for “East. Lynne.” A few evenings ago that worm eat- en drama, “East Lynne,” was pre- sented in Rockville, by a touring re- pertoire company. In the village pa- per the following day the dramatic critic wrote as- follows: * ‘East Lynne' is a rotten play, built around a woman possessed of all lova- ble gqualities except wisdom, a bunch any normal man weary and capable of performing cruelties that would make a savage ashamed of himself. The only admirable man in the play is the villain; he's 80 cussed human. It's & rotten play, full of weeps and false 1deas.” Youthful Cynics.

"; B R T A AR R S Forty young men have just attend- ed a five weeks’ traction engineering short course at University Farm. They describe themselves as German, Scandinavian, Swedish, Norwegian, English, Scotch, Welsh, Yankee and Irish-American and came from Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, South Africa and Minnesota. Students who have taken this course in past years have made good in localities scattered from Canada to South America, but most of them come for the purpose of learning to use steam and gas tractors in thresh- ing, plowing, and numerous other ways on the farm. When they have completed heir work they usually re- turn to the farm from which they came. Some of those recently enrolled al- ready had special engineers’ licenses permitting ‘them to operate steam boilers and machinery in Minnesota and all who took this course may re- ceive engineers’ licenses. Experience in handling engines is required of all who apply for the course, but no greater educational requirements than can be obtained in' the common schools have been established. _The location of University Farm between the two great cities of the Northwest helped to guarantee every facility necessary in training profi- cient engineers. The men spent their mornings in lectures and study and their afternoons in operating steam and gasoline engines, about thfee- fourths choosing steam engines. They were instructed in physics, steam boil- ers, pumps, blacksmithing, belt lac- ing, babbitting, pipe fitting, rope splicing, soldering, and tube setting, 2s well as the actual operation of the engine—J. O. Rankin, University Farm, St. Paul. PLANNING DRAINAGE SYSTEM Should Be Done With Same Care as Other Improvements. -The planning of drainage 'works should be done with the same careful- ness that is bestowed on other im- provements. When a large building is to be constructed an architect is consulted, plans are carefully drawn, all the details are looked into, and material is selected which will be suitable for-the location, the climate and the purpose for which the build- ing should be used. During its con- struction inspectors see that the de- tails are carried out.and the require- ments of the specifications enforced, regardless of the fact that the con- tractor may be losing money and cheaper materials might be used. But in drainage enterprises, the evidences of such care are too often painfully lacking, even though the cost be as great or greater than that of a large building. In many cases an engineer is employed to stake out a drain on a route which has been selected only because it is “supposed to be” the best one. No examination is made for another-route or outlet; the area of the watershed is not measured. As a result, the size of the ditch is determined by a mere guess. Time may develop the fact that the best route was not selected, that the ditch was too large or too small, and conse- quently does not perform -the work satisfactorily. A ditch, being improp- erly located, either does mnot drain all the land it should or it Is expensive to comstruct and maintain. - One that is too large will not clean itself prop- erly; whtile one that is too small will not carry the required volume of water—J.

Far away to the north and also to the west loomed mountain' ranges; but they seemed too distant to be reached in time. Horses and men were nearly famished. Time and again they spied water with green trees about it, only to find that it was one of the grim jokes of this crucl land, and all had vanished on near approach, The sun poured down relentlessly;. so that the metal of the men’s armor burned like redhot iron. The only other liv- ing things to be seen were two eagles sailing high in the sky. But relief Wwas near; for in an hour the way led down a concealed arroyo. There at the bottom was water, brackish and hot, but still water, and men and beasts were saved. This was the - expedition led by Francisco de Coronado in search of the fabled Seven Cities of Cibola. Rumors of these stately cities, paved with gold and rich in gems, had come to Coronado in Mexito, andi dians; he-set out in“February, 1540, taking with him: a company of horsemen, footmen, and friendly In- on one of the most remarkable expe- ditions in the history of the explora- tion of America. Over burning des- erts, up barren and forbidding mountains of rock, through quick- sands ,over snow-covered passes of the Rockies, through deep and gloomy canyons, went the Spanidrds. The Seven Cities they discovered and captured; but they were only the pueblo dwellings of the Zuni In- dians, mud-built cities that may be seen today in New Mexico. And there was mo gold but the gold of the setting sun. Parts of the expedition discovered the Moki settlements of Arizona, and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and the Rio Grande was explored for |Om a considerable distance. Winter was spent on this river, and it was here that the friendly Indians revolted unsuccessfully.
