In true co-operative marketing lies the real and lastlag solution of the economic problems of the North Dakota far- mer. ings have been held under the auspices of the various -co-operative societies and ont, of them have come constructive ideas and plans for a widening of the system of marketing that has proved so successful among/the citrus growers of California, the wool producers and also the cotton and tobacco planters. :North Dakota can apply the same principles to the marketing of her chief products. It is amerely a question of getting the plan on a sound workable basis :and ‘of excluding folitical in- trigte. ; : “The Farm Bureau idea is being developed in- tensely and it may be the organization around ‘hich all others in the field may group, but it is too-early to say just what, will be the ultimate agency to direct the co-operative effort. of North Dakota.

Over there they still speak of it as “Drafts,” but it is checkers to every American who moves the rounded disks from dquare/to square, that is, until his opponent:re- moves them from the board. , The most remarkable thing about checkers is that the death of nothing else has been predicted more frequently, or by as many persons. Cen- turies ago.the young folks were saying it was fine sport for old people, but doubtless it would die out when grandpa and his gang passed away. It didn’t, possibly because, there always have been elderly people, who, naturally enough, would .rather move upon a checkerboaré than ou a baseball diamond or:a tennis -court.

That is ‘a question des- tined to produce discussion for many years to come. Not that it matters much which way it finally is decided, if it ever is, for the main thing is that the league was born, and that it was born alive. The date is inconsequential. Edwin L. James, American newspaper man in Paris at the time, wrote on Jan. 16, 1920; “The League of Nations is a reality. It began to func- tion this morning at 10:80 o’clock, when the ex- ecutive council opened its first meeting.” But ‘that is much like saying a child was born the day it begins to crawl. “On Jan. 10,'1920, the League of Nations de- seended from the realm of fancy and became a fact,” writes Arthur Sweetser, of the American of Nations at Work.” tinues, “the ratitications of the Treaty of Ver- sailles were exchanged at Paris; the, treaty be- came effective, and the Teague iof Nations be- came part of the public law of the world.” Brooklyn woman asks $1,000,000 from her rival because she stole her husband. Whoever heard ofa husband worth $1,000,000? LOOKING BACKWARD. To look far backward one needs look under- ground, at the ruins of buried cities, at fossilized remains of bones that once were living things, at weapons and implements they used. Thus science tells us what never has been written on history’s pages; who jJived before the dawn of civilization, and how. . : Recovery of these lost chapters in the career of man is an imminent possibility and an Ameri- can possibility, Dr. J. H. Breasted, professor of Egyptology ‘and Oriental history, reports. “The collapse of the Ottoman empire has” opened the birth-lands of civilization to un- ' restricted investigation,” Dr. Breasted said., “It.is evident that there rises before us an) opportunity unprecedented in the history of - humunistic research. ’ ' “Eae great centers of human life in the ancient.world, the mighty cities and capitals of Babylonia, Assyria,“ Persia, Palestine, Syria, Asia ‘Minor and Egypt, the region where the earliest civilized societies arose out of savagery and barbarism to bring civ- ilization' to barbarian Europe—all these treasuries of human ‘records which are rap- _ idly perishing in the whole'region about the } eastern end of the Mediterranean lie there silently awaiting the spade of the excava- tor.” To the non-scientific mind this looking back- ward, the digging into ruins of past ages, means little; looking ahead is far more desirable. The scientifi¢ mind, though, looks backward and ac- quires knowledge, the only true lens through which one may look ahead and undeystand what one sees, !

' Massachusetts has shown the way for states that develop public.spirit enough to protect their scenic spots from desecration by billboards, as they all ought ‘to do. Under a recent law, made possible by a” con- stitutional amendment, the state department of public works. has issyed a set of rules governing this business which have-the force of law. Under these’rules, nobody cdn engage in out- door advertising without first taking out a li- tense. aie \ No billboards or signs can be loeated within the bounds of any highway, or within three hun- dved feet of anyypark. parkway, playground, state recreation or public building. No billboard ‘or sign can besplaced on any rock or tree, or upon any fence or pole bordering any public highway. The state reserves the right to pass on all mat- ter-displayed upon outdver signs. and-to require the removal of any objectionable matter, And this additional rule is the heart, of the whole plan: “No pe: mits shall be granted for aS near cer- tain highways in territory which, in the opinion Annabel, it may be explained, is president of! of the division of highways, is of unusual seenic the Four H Canning club; Also, she’s 15 and ove of the prettiest and smartest girls in Mill Point. ‘ “Well, you men make an awful fuss about this community fair business,” Aunabel is quoted as saying. “We girls had better attend to the mat- ter.” . They did! The Four H Canning club attend- ed to the matter all right, all right! All they did was to pull off the most successful commu- nity fair in the state of Tennessee. All Annabel beauty. Such places will be.designated by the division from time to time.” All signs now located in violation rules must be removed by July. 1.

Editor: Tribune: Ine day last week an article ap- peared. in a Fargo paper from a cor- ‘yespondent in Langdon revealing a sad state of affairs as pertaining to the morals of the latter. community rand stating that three girls, had been sent to the Crittenden Home at Fargo very recently and especially in the | case of one of these girls and she but | sixteen years old, a shocking number of boys and men had been involved. The superintendent of the Crittenden Home by invitatiofcame to Langdo2 and: a community meeting was held the local ministers co-operating hear- tily and addresses onthe necessity of social, purity were given.

Its remarks on the convention follow: “The agitation for a reorganization of the league along democratic lines has borne fruit “in the selection of delegates to the state convention, and nearly every delegate carried a ‘reso- lution in his pocket: providing for some form of organization that would : give the county absolyte contro] of county affairs and provide for a “lo- cal” along the lines of the trade union. “A full discussian of the matter was participated in by nearly every dele} gate presént and all were ot*pract{- “g x js un-; They!
