London, which dictates men’s styles ‘as Paris dictates those of women, has set thc stage for a riot of color. Read this forecast of fall styles for, men from a recent issue of a trade journal: “We can expect to see men’s soft hats in tones “of plum, ultra-marine, reindeer, moss and bottle «green, and suits in such mixtures as a cross-weavi of violet and green, red and brown, yellow. mixec with brown and green, and blue and red blended “to give a purple overtone. Overcoats will favor “grays, tans and heather combinations, with lean- ings to olive green, mahogany and Copenhager. blue.” me «A Georgia farmer has grown a variety of cottor that resembles lamb’s wool. He should be able tc get pickers on Wall street. ie GRASSHOPPER CHINKS “Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make a/field ring with their importu- nate chink whilst thousands of great cattle repose beneath the shadow of the oak, chew the cud and ere silent, pray do not imagine % that thosq who make the noise are the only ‘: irhabita:its of the field; pray do not imagine *; that, o® course, they are many in numbers; or th:t. after all, they are other than the little, shrivelled, meager, hopping, though loud aad troublesome insects of the field.” r Burke. That’s what’, ou are hearing in the land today Your E-"-hevis’ is loudly articulate; your anar- - chist is -:mpant. But the leaders of labor, the { thousai: . of men scattered over this country whc ‘are powerful. in the individual unions, refuse tc ‘ ying the vlue welkin ‘vith cries for revolution and - blood. Unds: the great oak of democracy they stand, ciiet and content to“ ‘do their part.in the : orderly evolution of American freedom—the cer- i tain, sure evolution that will bring moer freedom ‘politically, industrially, socially to every man “under the American ‘stars; : * Inour country the ruler isn’t responsible to 'th¢ : cabinet, but: voters have a way of hotline him responsible for the cabinet,"" * ° : i ANCESTORS ~ —H. G. Wells, novelist, has started a new work, not a novel, which he calls an “Outline of History.” His aim is to give readers a clear idea of them ‘ selves, not us members of groups, separate races ‘or nations, but as fellow humans in a great ad- ‘venture ot world history. “| He says this idea is a necessary basis of per- ‘manent peace, and that it peculiarly is necessary ‘now that science has narrowed distance and has : brought all nations and people into close contact. | Wells’ history begins when “the sun was a spin- | ning, flaring mass of matter, not yet concentrated rinto a compact center of light and heat, and a ‘ series of fragments which detached themselves ‘from it became planets. Our earth is one of these : planets.” As to the climatic future of the earth, he says: “Our world today seems to be emerging with ‘fluctuations from a prolonged phase of adversity (and extreme conditions. Half a million years ‘abead it may be a wiveless world with trees and ‘vegetation even in the polar circles. At present \on, as knowledge increases, it may be poss .bielot|} we have no certainty in such a forecast, but later ‘on, as k>owledge increases, it may be possible to ‘Yeckon with :sore precision, so that our race will :make its plan» thousands of years ahead to meet ‘the coming ch: sges.” The race he r: ‘ers to is the human race. It was ’ a few years ago that ordinary folk accus- Vheniselves to the idea that men and mon- ‘keys av? Geveloped freva a common ancestor. But the org..: pared i« the original ancestors of man described by Wells. The ivx-t a: cestors of man, as distinct trom Tepiiles < dot! gri:der’s monkey is like a brother com-| t creatures of the primal onze. he , says, seem to have been all “obscure little beasts of the size of mice and rats.” Wells, to find this original of all mammals, goes back hundreds of millions of years. The reason the allies grant Turkey a measure of self-determination is because if they didn’t India would be sore enough to demand self-de- termination. PEARY—THE PERSISTENT There are two kinds of people in the world—- those who can be defeated and those who can’t. Robert Peary belonged to the second type. Eightitimes he penetrated the Arctic waste be- Zore the goal he had set himself was achieved. ‘n 1886 his polar: voyages- commenced, with a re- sonnaisance of the Greenland Island ice cap. He ‘ollowde this expedition with another, June, 1891, o September, 1892, when he reached the north- rast angle of Greenland. He discoyered and named Telville Land and Heilprin Land, lying beyond treenland, and determined the fact that Green- and is gn island. Again in 1898 and 1896 he rade voyages to the Arctic. In 1898 to 1902 he ‘ounded the northeast extremity of Greenland rchipelago, the last of the great Arctic land svoups) the most northern land in the world. Each ttempt pushed him nearer to the final goal. ; In 905 he started north again, and returned in Octo- er, 1906, having reached the highest north again —87 degrees and 6 minutes. Peary started his eighth and final expedition 1 July, 1908, establishing a winter base at Cape sheridan, September, 1908, left for Cape Columbia 7ebruary. 15,1909, in five detachments, which vere sent back one’ after another, the fourth saving him near the 88th parallel, and Peary imself with one member.of the crew and four Iskimos made the final dash of 130 miles north o the pole! The goal was finally reached April 6, 909—22 years after his first expedition. Peary the Persistent finaly won! It is good o know that he was an American, and that there re more like him. He has pased on, but the ex- umple he set remains. | WITH THE EDITORS | at ee eee eh IS CATHRO CLEARING UP OLD PAPER? For some years past, F W. Cathro, who is now it the head of the Bank of North Dakota, and lrawing a salary of $10,000 and expenses, was one of the owners and former cashier of the First Na- ‘ional bank at Bottineau. In Bottineau county che farmers have been having crop failures for several years, and today the farmers there are 1ot only hard up, but owing to poor crops their ands have depreciated in value until today good ‘arms in Bottineau county can be bought for $30 yer acre and better. Yet we find thatthe Bank of North Dakota is making a large amount of loan ‘n that county, and loaning up to $4,000 per quar- er section, or nearly $30 per acre, and many are vondering why this. is being done. Are Mr. Mc- ‘ntosh: and. Cathro, who;are the owners of the virst National Bank of Bottineau, cleaning up heir old paper at the expense’ of ‘the state; or aré hey so. friendly to the farmers of that county, hat they are. willing to loan the state’s money in ‘uch a wreckless manner as the list below shows Jertainly no private individual, or any loan com- yany would make the apparently. excessive: loans, vhich this list shows. Such being the case, is it fair that the money which has been dumped from very.public source into the Towney bank at Bis- marek, should be doled out in this manner. Ram-|? sey county lands today will sell for double what ike lands will sell for in Bottineau county, and ret we do not know of a loan concern that would think of loaning more than $20 per acre.on thé} best Ramsey county lands. And yet you will no- tice by the list below that the Bank of North Da- cota is loaning from $20 to nearly $30 per acre m Bottineau lands. Mr. Taxpayer, if it were your own private money would you think this a safe business proposition? list of loans made in’ that county since the Bank of North Dakota was started. Read them over and see if you think the state’s money should be so expended: OWNER A TWP. RG. AMT. G - O'Keefe os 160 83 $6,000 Jay E. Reed 160 161 83. 2,000 Warren McElwin 480 160 82 11,000 Sarah M.
