One way is to reduce taxes. The less taxes col-| lected, the less there is to spend or waste. . EQUITY Two boys were brought before a Philadelphia judge charged with stealing a ride ona freight train. They had little money, and were trying to get to New York to find work. — Stealing rides at the present freight rates is no crime, the judge held: Fa sti ' Which..shows that this particul studied equity. eet wee te ws lar judge had COURAGE Gov. Edwin R.

Carpen- tier and Mr. Dempsey. Dr. George W. Crile, of Cleveland, says how- ever that the same instinct manifests itself in all gambs, ‘starting with play of children. Chess, tennis, baseball, alike are based on attack and de- fense, struggle, contest. Each is interesting be- cause untilmbered generations lived by fighting for life. Wee cote BOXERS Epictetus, the Greek philosopher, versed inj to boxers: “You must live’ by rule, submit to! diet, abstain from dainty meats, exercise your} body perforce at stated hours, in heat or cold;| drink no cold water, nor, it may be, wine. In a! word, to win the laurel wreath, you must surren-| der yourself wholly to your trainer, as though to; a physician.” 3 Training rules for boxers haven’t changed a bit. since Epictetus’ time, 2000 years ago. But would Jack and Georges fight. for a laurel wreath? RAMBLING __ Wilbur Crafts, the quiet Sunday advocate, says he is in favor of one form of Sunday recreation. Rambling! ‘It’s a lost art. Quiet lanes are de-| serted. « The old-time ramblers who peopled these lanes.are flivvering with their children and grand- children. 5 We'd like to hear a debate on the question, “Is | seem vers ite covers more miles of nature; but the old-time | be no loss to the farmer on that score.

And Schwab worked hard from boyhood. If you were as rich as. Schwab, would you care to trade your! wealth for youth in order to start over again?

A CASH JOB FOR THE MID-WEST SENATORS If the agrarian bloc just organized in the United States senate under the leadership of Mr. Kenyon of Iowa, and including among others the senators from the two Dakotas; Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Oklahoma, will turn its attention from the visionary and questionable advantages of regulating grain exchanges and packer bills and devote its efforts to, improving for its farmer constituents, : . Julius H. Barnes, former. president of the United States Grain corporation, speaking before the- international joint commission: on Oct. 20, 1920, set the improvement in. the farm position at $336,000,000 a year if the reduction in trans- portation costs which would follow the improve- ment of the St. Lawrence seaway could be fully reflected to the farmers in the sixteen states whose farm price level would be improved by re- duction of transportation costs. His figures were based upon a comparison of projected water rates and rail rates at that time. : Mr. Barnes, basing his figures on long and care. ful study, declared that any one familiar with the operating statements'of, lake carriers must agreq that a standard grain’ fate of 6 cents a bushel for the.seven day trip from Chicago to Duluth to Mon- treal, with no west bound cargo whatever, and| only. eight months of operation, would earn sub- stantial dividends on the cost of such lake car- riers. This, he figured at that time, would save middle western grain growers 10 cents a bushel atleast. ee aa But between April, 1919, and April, 1921, the} rail freight charge has risen. from 19 cents a bushel to 26 cents a bushel, while in the same time the market value of a bushel of wheat drop- ped from $2.65 to $1.36'. In the meantime the cost of operation of lake carriers has not in-| creased. It would appear from these figures, | therefore, that today the ‘substitution of water! transportation for rail transportation, through an improved seaway, would save middle western | farmers in close contact with lake ports in the; ‘neighborhood of 20 cents a bushel, and, would ex: | tend at least part of this saving as far’south as) Oklahoma and as far west as the Rockies. Instead of paying as today approximately one bushel out of every seven for freight, the Iowa! or Illinois farmer would pay approximately one! bushel out of every thiriy. From Mountreal to; European ports the rats is exactly the same as! from New York to such ports, so with elevator; it better to flivver than to ramble?” The flivver-|and transshipment charges the same there would, lally, if ocean carriers would come all the way in| ito lake ports to pick up their cargoes, as they: jcould do with the improved seaway, even the) |transfer charges would be eliminated. | It means hundreds of millions of dollars to mid-/ |dle western farmers, both in saving and in the! | stimulation of a foreign market, even though the! entire saving does not go to the producer. There| is something definitely and tangibly progressive. | It does not smack in any way of reform.—Chicago waterways it may net some $300,000,000 a year) , BURGLAR ALARM TODAY - THIS IS THE SECONP FALSE ALARM THIS MONTH - o——_____________» | POETS’ CORNE mn THE EAGLE , .

Complaint is made by the secretary of the complicated situation that ex- ists with regard to the taxation of bank stock in the state. He declared that the tax on a home valued at from $8,000 to $10,000 will average withou: any tax for special improvements in the neighborhood of $60 while a quar- ter section of land of the same valua~| ~~ nnn tion will. be taxed about $150 and the} Corporation, which was proposed to| committee devoted valuable time and same valuation of bank stock $400.

SprinklesBlow and the twins sat on the edge ‘of the big cloud right over Farmer Smith’s sass-patch garden and a very curious picture they made, the three of them, under the Weather- man’s magic umbrella. No. they didn't need it for the rain, as the rain was below them, but they did need it for Mr. Sun’s rays. You know Mr. Sun always ‘shines on the topside of a cloud, and that day he: was doing his best to chase Jack ‘Frost up North. So he was pretty hot. Nancy and Njck were holding their | watering-pots so that the Warm Spring Rain which they had got out of Sprinkle-Blow’s barrel, squirted out of the spouts and fell in big drops to the’ground below. And Sprinkle- Blow was holding a great. open bag in his free hand to catch the tricky little breezes which were blowing all the seeds away!

Beckwith, of Fargo, urged that the banks of North Dakota be turned into a rural credit institution patterned after the South Dakota bank. He also urged changes in the guaranty of deposits law. | The convention is attended by some 300 North Dakota and visiting Minne- | sota baakers.

Their selections were light and hap- pily chosen for the occasion. The soprano, Miss Dagny Jensen, who is accompanist and reader as well, bas a lyric voice of great range and flexibility, its coloratura qualities being shown to especial advantage in one of her numbers, the “‘Komkjyra,” a Norwegian echo. song of the 17ta century. . Miss Frances Park’nsn, cellist and |mezzo was received with enthusiasm in her numbers more particularly a cello solo, a gavotte by Toppler. Miss Parkinson is a sister of Mrs. W. E. Parsons of Bismarck. The other members of the. quartette are the Misses Bierkamp, one of whom possesses a charming soprano voice and is a violinist of ability, and the other a contralto of much sweetness and charm, Altogether they were. most versatile and created a very pleasant impres- sion on their audience. of committees and reports.
