PAGE FIGHT THE: BISMARCK TRIBUNE MIGRATION T0 DAKOTA SHOWN IN WHO'S WHO" Mcst Names of Dakotans Listed Arc Men Who Have Moved West SOME OF ALIEN BIRTH Investi n of the birthplaces of North Dakotan’s, of enough importance to be ‘mentioned in “Who there is disclosed any unusual facts considered 's Who in America” to see if concerning the “drift” of peoples into the state does little more than to confirm the westward pilgrimage of the peoples. Two of the eighty men listed were born to the west of this states. The others, without exeep- tion came along eastern trails tu their habitation in the Dakotas It is quite largely a New England migration, New York state contri- butas eight and Michigan seven, it being possible to conceive that these were descendents of the Dutch set-, tlers of New Amsterdam but all the} others come from New England| states or from the states where the New England coloses sent their rov- ing children in the gradual building vf a nation. Ilino’s leads in the largest num- ber of North Dakota’s notables, nine having been born there. New York contributed eight, Michigan seven, a and Wisconsin six, Penn- 1, Indiana and Ohio five each. nt four sons here to become leaders, while Vermant and Missouri sent two each. One each of men who lave achieved some notable| place came from New Hampshire, Maryland, Idzho, Maine, Montana, Massachusetts, Virginia, South Da- kota and New Jersey. While North ota has motheved eight men who listed in who's who, but one of the cight now claims the state as his rasidence, this being Congress- man 0. B. Burtness of Grand Forks. | Foreign Lands Represented. —_| Fereign lands contributed ten of} the vihty men, Norway having been the birthplace of two, England of | two, Canada of two, while Switzer- | land, Iceland, Holland and Chile each is represented by one son, That North Dakota’s notables fol- sowed the advice of Horace: Greeley of “Go West, Young Man,” is shown by the fact that the statistics of their marriages in very different from their births. Fitseen waited until they reached North Dakota before taking a wife, Minnesota furnished the helpmeets for eleven. Illinois about held its own by furnishing eight Wives although but three of the men bern there were also married | there. Four of the men traveling westward were married in Ohio and Michigan, while five found their life's com- on in Towa, few York, Indiana, Wiscorrin and Pennsylvania sent} three wives each to the state, while! Missouri was the place of marriage | of two. One marriage was consum- mated in West Virginia, South Da-; kota, Tennessee, Mas!-achusetts, Con-| necticut, Texas, Kansas, Maryland,| Rhode Island, Nebraska, Vermonv! ond Kentucky, while one North Da- “kotan found his wife in Germany while a student there. Kducrtional ‘statisties also dis-j clé-es thet the men listed came dur-| ing the early years of their life. All} but two of the men listed had som} sort, of education in school above that of the common school, The two not so favored advanced their education in law offices, the early day method of becoming a barrister. Seventy-three of the eighty men have or at least baccalaureate degrees, three yeyrs of college work. Some ef these baccalaureate degrees were | taken so far back in collegiate his-/ wory that they represent but om year of law. Advanced Degrees Recorded. Many advanced degrees are record- ed but the baccalaureate degrees, as representng the school of primary education has been taken as the in- dication of the college preference of | North Dakota's leaders. No one school can claim a large preference in the matter of promi- nence of its graduates. Seven of the men hold their degrees from the Uni- versity of North Dakota. The Uni- versity of Michigan educated seven, and the University of Minnesota. The others are scattered over the breadth of the country, the Univer- sity of Indiana having two graduates, Illinois two, Wisconsin two, Oberlin College two, Valpariso two, Theil Seminary two, and Brown University two. The schools having one man on the state’s list are: Virginia Theological, Michigan Agricultural, Cornell College, University of Iowa, University of Missouri, George Wash- ington, Dartmouth, Washington Uni- versity, Des Moines College (now Des Moines Univesity), Washington State College, DePau University, University, Hamline, Northwestern University, Chiengo University, Yank- ton College, University of Pennsyl- vania, Augsburg Seminary, Univer- sity of South Dakota, Purdue Uni- versity, Augsburg Seminary, Univer- sity of South Dakota, Purdue Uni- versity, Yale University, Ohio We: ' ) } By NEA Service Oakland, month Clara Skarin Winborn became a “dead man” and, according to po- lice, carried on the life of the she is alleged to have slain.

BE APPLL Santa Rosa, Cal., Sept. 14.—If ful- fillment comes to the hopes and ideals of Luther Burbank, foremdst plant breeder of. the world, history also will record his influence in the development of better men, as well as better plants, for he regards im- | provement of mankind as a greater work than improvement of plant spe- | cies. “I hope that the same laws, as far as practicable, which I have discover- ed and ‘demonstrated in plant’ life will be applied to theévimprovement of human life,” said the dean of plant scientists in his Santa Rosa home. Although évery possible minute of Burbank’s day is given to his plant experiments, he is glad to give time to civic affairs, specially to'the Boy “This in a measure, can, must and! | will be done,” he asserted. LUTHER BURBANK HOPES SAME - LAWS OF PLANT BREEDING CAN ED ALSO TO HUMANS Scouts, playground activities and school doings, for in these he sees the beginning of the application to mankind of his principles of plant breeding. “My time is all too short todo alll wish and hope yet\to do,” he says. The improvement ‘of plants, ac- cording to Burbank, is in its earliest infancy, but “the. possibilites are limitless,” he declares, “In mechanics and electricity great prpgress already has been made, but, as every] scientist knows, it rd- ; lya beginning,” says Saene in comparing. mechanical and plant] knowledge. After’ sixty years of plant breeding ; he enunciates the principle “Plants aye pliable and amenable to the will of.man,' but this has never been surmised by the general public until the last twenty-five years.” cuse, Norwich, Williams, Capitol, Ripon, Hiram and Park.

BIRDS MAKE - LONG TRIPS Biological Survey Finds That They Travel gt Least 3,00C Miles Washington, Sept. 20.—How far will a migratory bird travel in its fall and spring flights? The Biolog- ical Survey has determined that they make flights of at least 3,000 miles. /An_ investigation, has been con- ducted for several: years by the Sur- vey by trapping ducks and other strong winged fowl} in northern sec- tions, and marking ‘them-with light bands ‘bearing a setial numbet and the legend, “Biol.
