THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER > (Established 1873) ee PROBLEMS OF DISTRIBUTION As a result of certain abuses in the system of the distribution of farm products, the Nonpar- tisan League came into being on what appeared a very limited agrarian program. Those who have copies of the Nonpartisan Leader can turn to the original farmers program and practically all ‘there is embodied there is a pledge to secure mills and elevators. Then came the great victory on these issues nedrly six years ago. Instead of a conservative program fostering cooperative marketing and sechring certain protection thd state in marketing their products, an elaborate scheme of state socialism was evolved. Panacea) - upon panacea was urged and every Utopian came to this state insistent upon trying out his pet hobby at the public expense. In the complexities of the: programs evolved, the main objective was lost sight of. The first pill passed to provide for a terminal ‘elevator was vetoed by Governor Frazier and it was not until the league had captured both branches of the legislature that a program of extensive state so- cialism was determined: upon. The formation lately of a Federal Farm Bureau and other marketing organizations upon a strictly cooperative basis would indicate that the farmers themselves were convinced that state socialism piles up taxes without solving any of {their mar- keting problems. While politicians continué to prate about trying it out, there is evident a strong inclination on the part of the real dirt farmers to settle their own problems in their own way and upon a basis strictly non-political. The California Fruit Growers’ Exchange is a most’ successful example of cooperative market- ing. Through its 10,500 members, citrous fruits worth nearly $100,000,000 are sold annually. No bounty from the state is necessary and all the pro- fits, go to the growers. Before this exchange operated the average loss to the citrus growers was $1,500,000 yearly by decay alone due to inefficient handling. No one can deny the privilege of farmers to organize legally to do'those things which are vital to an economical and orderly conduct of their business, but an elaborate scheme of state subsidies and paternalism will hardly correct the abuses of distribution. ‘ North Dakota should foster a scheme of coop- ‘erative marketing and end the conflict and endless confusion that has arisen in this state as to what is the proper course to pursue in bringing relief to the agricultural interests whose success is paramount to the general prosperity of all busi- ness. 5 : In an article’! ‘late G: Harold’ Powell for ten years gene! anager of the California Fruit Growers’ Exchange, the various: aspects of coop- erative marketing are very well defined. He'com- mented in part: Pee, cooperative organization has a distinct, re- sponsibility to the public. It cannot. live for itself alone. Through the;cogpéraitve handling of farm crops the farmer. sht ceive a fair return for his products, ’ pperation should be..an important factor in reducing the general cost of | living through ‘the economies that result from the organized preparation, distribution, and sale of standardized products. The producer is entitled to a fair return on the cost of production, pro- vided the law of supply and.demand warrants it;! but he is not privileged through the power of or- ganization to impose a higher price on the con- for the farmers of | icans, made such by super-active endocrine glands. Their thyroids gave them the energy to revolt against Old World tyranny and cross the ocean into the wilderness, seeking freedom. Their adrenal glands gave them reserve energy to endure pioneer hardships. Active pituitary glands, which regulate the size of the skeleton, bred tall descendants. PENALTY FOR HOOKY Five mothers in New York City are sentenced, to two days in jail for not making their children go, to school. We move forward. Education now is compul- sory, under the democratic system. A few gen-| erations ago, schools were almost exclusively for the children of the rich. When autocracies were the rule instead of the exception, kings kept their subject people ignor- ant, knowing that education makes slavery of any kind impossible. Democracy, wisely recognizing education ‘as its most jmportant defense, makes schooling com- pulsory. | CELLAR Young King Boris, of Bulgaria, is so hard up that he is selling his cellar-stock’ of wines and liquors to Sofia hotels, at $2 a bottle. d Boris, 27 years old, also has hocked most of his autos. He has only three servants, two guards, and has stopped all court functions and entertain- ments. i His father, before exile, lived in. the extrava- gant luxury of an ancient Chinese emperor. A result of the war: Imperialism is on its last legs, even where it hasn’t been kicked out en- tirely. ‘ RACER ' Clarence H. De Mar, who recently won the American Marathon race at the age of 34, says his victory was due to prayer. _ Before the race he knelt and prayed for a re- iturn of the strength and endurance that won him his first Marathon victory in 1911. In his 1922 long-distance run, De; Mar lost four pounds. The home stretch was agony. But he says he felt himself pushed along by the power of his answered prayer. : Prayer gave De Mar faith. With faith, you lean overcome any obstacle. Without it, failure is linevitable. This is true, whether the/faith is in lyourself or an outside influence. ft | CRIMINALS Art, particularly music, is the best preventive of crime among the young, says Otto,H. Kahn, New York banker. sa : His idea is that beautiful and inspiring things ‘are “sure fire” as uplifters. i And the uplift: need not be highbrow., 7) “The occupant of a gallery seat at a concert who paid 25 cents for it may be far richer for his evening than the blase and indifferent man or iwomafi at the Metropolitan Opera.” Kahn’s story is sound, as far as it goes. Un- \fortunately, appreciation of music and art is born jin the soul and cannot be jand cabbages. ‘ ; HUNTING Newfoundland seal hunters for generations have wasted most of their time in the.actual loca- ition of seal herds. It was like spending an hour looking for a berry bush that could be “picked clean” in 10 minutes. ., This appealed to the imagination of Alan S. Butler, young English flyer, out gunning for op- portunity instead of waiting for her. He contracted to locate the seal herds at 10 cents-a head, by airplanes. Now his Aerial Sur- veying: Company is doing a land-office business and Butler is on the road to riches at 23. It’s humbug, that opportunity knocks once at every man’s door. Opportunity does pause at every. ‘man’s front gate, but she usually has to be dragged to the door by a constant watcher. EDITORIAL REVIEW .

JOHNS : TREE BER right, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. Up | Copy! There were—let me see, there, Cousin Jasper Haynes, Cousii*® Muria Haynes, Cousin Thomas and Saman- tha Biggs, Lucy and Paul, and myself, not to mention Grandpa and Grandma Chittenden. ‘They lived in Washing- ton, but the rest of us inhabited: Til- field. " ve Grandpa Chittenden was a Civil war pensioner, and in the middle part of his incredibly long life he had found oll, 1 believe. ,.Anyway, he.was‘reput- ed awfully rich, rich ‘enough to make all his grandsons and great-grand- daughters, which means Lucy, wealthy for life. And he was eighty-seven years old, and Grandma eighty-five. Tilfield was not the place that one would choose to live in, It was a litle New England town, very Sabba- tarian, amateur fire brigade—you know the style. Some folks might like it, of course, but, frankly, we Hayneses and { Biggses and the rest of us lived there because we had been born there, and we were too poor to move away. That Is, till grandpa died. Every year each of us would receiye a let, ter from him on the anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, in which he lost a leg. “I'm growing very feeble,” I hardly hope to survive the coming winter. God bless you, my dear— Paul, Lucy, Samantha, Jasper, Thom- as or Maria, as the case might be. We had reckoned that there ought to be at least ten thousand apiece and. some of us were getting on in years and anxious to see the last of Tilfield. Lucy was twenty-seven and Paul two years older. Oh, why did Grandpa Chittenden hang on so? Then. an amazing thing happened. | A brief letter came to each of us in- forming us that grandpa and grand- ma were going to pay us a visit. The day arrived and the tribe was gathered at the station to welcome him, But grandpa wasn’t on the train. “I guess he wasn’t feeling well enough to come,” said Cousin Thomas meaningly. Just then a smart touring car came to a standstill: near us and an.old 4.sentleman, who. was at the wheel, seated beside an old lady, turned and looked hard. It was grandpa! “Welcome, grandpa!” we all’ shout- | ed, eagerly. you young folks, didn’t 1? We thought j ve'd motor over instead of taking the { train, and enjoy.the country air.” “Motored from where?” we asked. vith a chuckle, i , Grandpa fell in with, our. plan to j Wave him one day at each’ house, and after he had made the round he made It again. “1 tell you young people, I'm falling in love with Tilfield,” he said. Everybody was pretty glum by now, { tor grandpa looked good for a dozen ' years or more. And then came the day of the state fair. By this time, in spite of our disap- | polntment, we couldn't help liking grandpa. He had told us that he: was worth a hundred thousand dollars, and | was going to divide it up among us equally, or, if we didn’t outlive him, |; mong our heirs.

Why—she's -there, too!” Maria was having hysterics. And then the cry was drowned in the delighted yélls of the crowd as the machine, like A‘great bird, righted itself and came floating gracefully down and lit with- In twelve feet of where we stood.
