The main consideration in Burleigh county| now ‘is to promote diversified farming and to aid| those engaged in the business of agriculture upon | which rests the prosperity of us all. Additional capital and morc settlers are need- | ed in the county and the agent working harmon- iously with the state and railroad immigration departments ‘can do much to advertise this sec- tion. There are some very desirable acres in Bur- leigh that can be utilized for dairying and Mr. John de Jong is experienced in this line and should be able to promote cooperative effort among the farmers. Some progress has been made toward establish- ing a Holstein circuit in this county and Mr. de Jong can do no better than to stimulate this work. | He will find the citizens of Bismarck anxious to cooperate with him to put over the program of} the county agent and results should be so prom-| ising within the next sixty days that the county | commissioners will see fit to continue the county agent as h permanent institution. ; After County Agent de Jong familiarizes him-; self with the needs in this county, he doubtless | will formulate a program behind which the busi-| ness men can get and be of real assistance and encouragement. FOOL-PROOF Carelessness of the average person is 80 ex- treme and suicidal that the tendency is to make life fool-proof. This usually causes resentment among those who benefit. “For instance, traffic regulations in cities. : ae When the elevator carries you to the top of the Woolworth building, you are not allowed’ to take a cane or umbrella to the roof’s observation bal-| cony. ; Many wonder why. Because. people use them to point out objects of interest and, care- lessly, are apt to drop them on the pedestrian far below. ; fi Umbrella, falling that far, would hit with the force of a small cannon-ball. A pin, dropped \from | an airplane a mile overhead, would enter the skull and pass clear through the body. That’s the power of gravity, going to waste in falling water. DISTRIBUTION OF COSTS The miner, for digging ‘coal out of the earth, gets only a fraction of what is paid by the con- sumer who buys the coal: he Railroads collect freight charges averaging | $2.43 a ton, for hauling the coal from mine to market, according to the National Coal Associa- tion. The coal jobber, who serves as a go-betwecn or} purchasing agent, takes an average of 10 to 25 cents a ton. 1 Then the retailer has his “overhead” or fixed | charges—rent, office help, unloading from car, making deliveries, etc. This overhead varies from probably 50-cents up to $2 a ton. Distribution of commodities is intricate, un- scientific, costly. It is a penalty of civilization, a wide gap separating producer from consumer. PSYCHO-PLASTIC While the rest of us brood over economic prob- lems, light-hearted Independent Artists exhibit) their painting in New York. They call themselves | psycho-plastics and explain: | “The art of the invisibilists is an ultra-dimen-| sional, temporal-spatial art, appealing not to! separate sense organs but to the residuc of undif-| ferentiated sensitivity, that is to say, their art is synaesthetic.” Gosh! And some of us call the problem of rai: ing money for the landlord complicated! Wh: if we had to add an understanding and applic: tion of psycho-plastic art to our burden? : CRIME Eighty-six per cent of crime in America during the last six months, was committed by new of- fenders. % This is shown by an analysis of official prison records, according to E.

On time as usual, for the engineer was Edward J. Haley, 70 years old. It was his last trip. He retires after.52 years’ service. He may not have a million salted in the bank, but he can look back to an interesting and extremely useful life. That, after all, is what counts most. A HEALTHY SIGN The most important crop, our church members, increased 761,727 in numbers last year, bringing churches’ total American membership to 43,- 523,206. This is announced by Dr. H. K. Carroll, official religious census taker. It is important news, for most of the problems man’ is trying to solve with an adding machine are spiritual prcblems. The material is merely a manifestation of the spiritual. More people go- ing to church means more widespread desire to get to fundamentals. . * EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments, reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented bere in order that our readers may have hoth sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. CYRUS NORTHROP si Cyrus Northrop may’ be “said “never to have seen death.” Toward.the close of day, as he was seated in his: easy chair with his evening newspaper in his nate, interested as ever in the affairs of life, the machinery of his body, quietly and without break or jar,’stopped. What can be found here for mourning or sor- row? Who, could he choose the time and manner of his own death, would have it otherwise? So has “vanished from the coasts of matter” this great and well stored mind. Such a mind is its own best argument for immortality.” Can so fine and facile an instrument, so many-phased and comprehending, so wise in the wisdom of the ages and of the heart, so long and cautious and arduous in the making—can such an instrument be destroyed by “the displacement of a bit of matter”? cause the machinery of the body. has run down? If so, the Universe would indeed be “a mean deceit.” That mind has ceased to function here forever. Its work here is done, and well done. But there are, there must be, other fields of ‘activity and achievement, where it will find its logical place, and again, we cannot doubt, perform its tasks with equal and even greater ability and power, since its deeper faculties, held in check here by. material obstructions and conditions, now re- leased. Dr. Northrop’s mind, clear, logical, witty and responsive, has long been the delight cf 2?! who came within the broad sphere of its radist‘ons. Many stories are told of the quickness and bril- liance of his repartee. On one occasion, at a gathering in an Eastern city, Chauncey Depew, famed as an after-dinner wit, introduced his old classmate at Yale, Dr. Northrop, as “the little cyclone from the Northwest.” Following the laugh, Dr. Northrop rose to reply, soberly ‘re- marking that he supposed he would have to ac- cept the characterization, as it was generally un- derstood that Mr. Depew was “an authority on wind.” Many such stories are current of his readiness. But the foundation. was.much, de His mind ‘was logical and” powerful, vith bedrsa” and ar- ranged, always ready, always going straight to ‘the point. ig At the opening of the University year Dr. Northrop was accus{ggjed to gather the whole heart talk would invite all his hearers to come ‘to him with their problems,and,difficulties.2! This was no empty invitation; butionesWhich’ heworked the Holidays came on, he never failed to urge the students to return home and. gladden the family circle while it was still intact. In countless, other casual ways Dr. Northrop idescribes as the indispensable attribute of a ser- vant and helper of men.| No doubt, this tender- ness was the secret of his delicate tact, of his ‘genial humor, of his kindly paternal attitude to- life. After all, his radiant good will and his out- reaching tenderness of spirit were the finest qualities of 2 rare character. Erring students | I ents far and near came to know him as not only a wise but an exceptionally magnanimous foster- father to their sons and daughters. The love of the student body he always received in return.

But Lord Tybar was now looking away behind him to where the ad- joining meadow sloped far away and steeply to a copse. In the hollow only the tops of the trees could be seen.

They certainly had many recollections in common, though .not all laughable. “I don’t think I’m quite so—so earnest as I used to be,” he smiled. “Ah, butyl like you earnest, Marko.” There was the tiniest silence be- tween them. Yet it seemed to Sabre a very long silence. She was again the one to speak, and her tone was rather abrupt and high- pitched af if she, too, were conscious of a long silence and broke it delib- erately, as one breaks, with an effort, constraint., “And how's Mabel?” “She's all right. She's ever so keen on this Garden Home business.” ‘She would be,” said ‘Nona. “And so am I!” said Sabre.

A mile far- {ther on he overtook, on a slight rise, jan immense tree trunk slung between three pairs of wheels and dragged by two tremendous horses, harnessed tandemwise.

He took out the manuscript of “England” and turned over the pages. He wandered what Nona would about it. cs Twyning came in. Twyning was of middle height, very thin, black-haired. His‘ clean-shaven face was deeply furrowed in rigid- looking furrows which looked as though shaving would be an intricate operation. He held himself very stiff- ly and. spoke stiffly as though the cords of his ‘larynx:'were also rigtdly inclined.. ‘When’ not speaking he ‘had a habit of breathing rather noisily. through his nose as if he were doing , deep breathing exercises. He was mar- ; Tied and had a son of whom he was immensely proud, aged eightcen and doing well in a lawyer's. office. He came in and closed the, door. He had a sheet of paper in his hand. “Jonah’s going to take me into, part- nership. Just told me.” (Continued in our Next Issue.) HELPED HER MOTHER WONDER.
