Company “A” at the same time is threatened with dis- solution by the United States Army because it has inade- quate quart Many busin men have felt unwilling to undertake a proper backing for the guard company until the law suits were settled. These affairs would appear to be settled definitely enough now so that this attitude should not obtain. J Company “A” has had a long and glorious history in the capital city of the state. It was awarded the first letter in the alphabet in naming companies because it was located at the seat of the state administration. It proved its worth to the nation in the Spanish-American War and in the World War. It is needed to meet any emergency that may arise and as a part of the national defense. It would be sad in- deed if Bismarck allowed this company to suffer the ignom- iny of dissolution because it would not find adequate quarters in which to drill. It has been pointed out by state guard officials that a full National Guard company means an annual payroll of $12,000 or so for a city. Of course, Bismarck’s attitude should not be based upon any such selfish consideration. The attitude of the city ought to be that the National Guard is an intrega! part of our government, and it is the duty of good citizens to see that Company “A” is properly housed, properly respected and given every opportunity to function for ue venefit of the state and the nation. e support of the company on either selfish or sentimental grounds. There is ample reason for supporting the com- pany. At the same time it is difficult to conceive of one who is not ed by the glorious past history of Company “A” and who is not moved by a desire to see that glory main- tained in the future. APACHE INDIANS Here is sad news: The 250 Apache Indians of the Fort Apache Reservation in Arizona are going to quit their wig- wams and live in what a government bulletin describes as “modern homes.” A sawmill has been started on the reservation and already 100,000 feet of lumber has been cut. The Apaches will use this lumber for building their cottages. The Apaches also are described as having been won over to the white man’s system of education. The young Apaches are going to school regularly‘and taking home their grade- cards to papa. Miraculous, in a sense, for the Apaches have been the most reluctant civilization. All this is progress, of course. Why do we call it “sad news”? Well, we’re glad that the Apaches are being ‘“ad- = vanced.” But somehow we have clung to the idea that the Apaches represented the last survival of the romantic old = prairie days. tem of time clocks and efficiency experts, we feel that one of our most important illusions is destroyed. After all, the system we call “civilization” is a dull propo- sition. Maybe it’s “efficient” and all that. But a man * chained by this system likes to feel that there is romance = and adventure and freedom from civilization somewhere. “Next thing we know, the Eskimos will be discarding their candle-diet and adopting calories. It’s all a part of the system that is reaching to the far corners of the earth and making life cut-and-dried, drab and dull. The old-time salt water sailor of the frigate days is gone, and now the primitive Apache Indians follow him to seclusion. ‘ Progress, all right, but many a man resents the passing of the few remaining outposts of romance. HOME-BREW i Some of the big manufacturers of soft drinks are under- stopd to have made large contributions to the prohibition campaign, with the idea that the passing of the saloon would stimulate soft drinks. Oscar Hogensen of the Illingis Bottlers of Carbonated Beverages Association says in a speech that prohibition has dealt soft drinks a body blow. Ginger ale and the like have fallen by the wayside. The national drink is “home-brew.” _ This condition may be temporary. But it illustrates how any movement is apt to become a boomerang. ; FE - QUADS the papa of quadrupl Petar Sate satay dite senyes on William Maheny is lets, three girls and a boy.

In| whatever other way Congress may | see fit to extend its aid to farmers of the Northwest, the promotion of diversified farming is fundam I- ly essential because diversified farming is the one great thing requisite to place agriculture inj the spring wheat area more near- on an economic parity with ag- riculture in other parts of the! country where the productivity of | the soil is on a higher average! level, . | Those who have other expendi- ents in mind as desirable in giving the farmer the co-operation he needs will do well to consider whether these expedients would be of value in re-establishing orig- inal productive powers in the soi or whether they might not ra tend toward a perpetutation of con-! ditions that have contributed to soil improverishment. Let us repeat that dairying or | s of diversified farming lodge wheat as one ot the major crops of the Northwest.

BEDTIME STORY. “T got the bed warm last night. It is your time tonight.” To fear wait. some business for me and you had written me about it. The shop has started with a bang.
