One of the questions which must be settled by the vot of the state and its officials in the future is “What Is A F: Trial?” Those who forced the state into an expensive milling experiment at Grand Forks i sisted that they only desired “a fair trial” of the experiment of state ownership and oper- ation of this industry. Many of those who insisted only on “a fair trial” do not appear willing to admit that the state’s extensive experience in the milling industry is approaching anything near a fair test. Their idea of ‘a fair trial” ap- . pears to be to continue the experiment until there is no more “money to spend. This was the case with the Werner experi- mental creamery and the Home Building Association of the state. Two administrations conducted the Drake state-owned, state-operated flour mill, which was called an experiment to determine whether the state could successfully enter the industry. The Grand Forks mill has been in operation for more than a year and a half. The manager of the Grand Forks mill and his two chief aides were brought in from the outside, so that there could be no charge of political favorit- ism in appointment. Their salaries were such that it be- hooved them to make the mill a success; their reputations in the business, too, were at stake. The Nestos administra- tion has liberally financed the Grand Forks mill, too liberally | in the opinion of many. The administration is entitled to tell the people it is giving the mill and elevator experiment “a fair trial.” The mill continues to show losses. Frequent reports have been made by auditors. The people are being given the facts, and. the Industrial Commission is to be congratulated for laying the facts before the people even though the reports are not pleasing to them. The people must say when the mill has had its fair trial; the governo: alone cannot dispose of the question. It be- hocves every taxpayer to consider this question. HOME LOYALTY Burleivh county voters will select candidates for county office in the June primary who, judging from their past records and expressions, may be considered loyal to their county and its institutions. The exception is F. J. Johnson, county auditor. Mr. sohnson has had two terms in this office. He en- joyed the fruits of the public treasury previously as a deputy. During his term as auditor he has been turning the tax- payers’ money to a Fargo concern when the money could be spent in Burleigh county, with Burleigh county institutions that pay heavy taxes. The county was paying far more money to this Fargo institution than was necessary, as was shown recently when local printing houses forced kids on some of the items of purchase by the county. The auditor still remains free to turn much of the taxpayers’ money to this Fargo concern at exorbitant prices, and as probably the ‘ most active proponent of Johnson’s candidacy is the paid representative of this Fargo house, it may be expected to go there if he is nominated. ORIENT In mystic India, cradle of the white race if not of all races, 20,000 natives are sweltering in the hot sun, building the world’s largest dam. It’ll be a mile long, to cost 60 mil- lion dollars. That’s a huge sum, especially in the orient. And yet in ~ China, where wages average 18 cents an hour now, 60 million dollars would buv the labor of the entire Chinese population for only one hour. The orient’s ocean of humanity is, to a white brain, un- fathomable in depth. When its hundreds of millions waken and adopt our ways, our descendants are going to have their | hands full, competing. WANDERLUST Warm weather stimulates army enlistments, recruiting officers say. It’s an outcropping of the spirit of wanderlust ! which comes in spring and summer, when the call of the out-| doors is loudest. Jn winter, it’s fine to be sheltered indoors from the cold. Qur ancestors battled thousands of years before winter lost its terrors. But when the sun’s drowsy - bright and the whispering breeze brings the sweet scent of growing things, it’s then we realize that civilization has its price, a ter- rific one. . Civilization is a penitentiary. giasd CAPEWARD 4, Close to 4000 million dollars of American money are now invested in South and Central America. Of this, 3150 millions are in industries, the rest in gov- ernment securities. j,;,, It means that tremendous Latin - American trade is in ‘store for America. Foreign trade follows loans. Business is done 95 per cent on credit — internationally, the same as aat home. FORCED Flowers. and vegetables are being experimentally “forced” by X-raying seeds and using electric lights as a substitute “sunshine. But something will be lost—in the flowers and in flavor of nutrition of the vegetables. The artificial is always inferior to the natural way. So much for egricultural vaudeville.

CONGRESS IN REVIEW Congress, which adjourned Sat- urday evening, leaves a record in| legislation that will not be termed | wholly a failure, but it is one that can not be ranked as a great suc- cess. People long ago learned not to expect the maximum results from | any legislative body when a na- tional ca n is just ahead, also been the lack of effective leadership. Republicans, with a slight majority in both the House and Senate, had difficulty in | organizing either because of the antagonism of the LaFollette group. Concessions on House rules had to ibe made and in the | Senate a deadlock resulted in ator Smith, of South Carolina, 2 Democrat, being chosen chairm: of the interstate commerce commit- tee. The Democrats ability to stand together. They did} not produce a legislative program oL positive ¢ ’ , but drifted with events, taking advantage of situations that developed. Out of this tangle there emerged a new tax law, which in some re- spects is better than the one re- placed, but is not nearly what it could have ‘been, had there been closer adherence to sound (princi- ples. In replacing the present immi- gration act, which will expire on June 30, there was a strengthening the bars against undesirable ‘but a needless giving of of- to Japan. An amendment to the Constitu- tion giving to the federal govern- ment the right to control hours and conditions of labor for per under the ¢ showed more Ei of prohibiting the exploitation of childhood. As drawn the proposed amendment would deprive ‘both the state and parents, if Congress saw fit, of the control of children in matters of work. Should three-fourths states, through their approve of the propo! be a tremendous advance in cen- ization of government powers, hich people already are com- plaining. Congress kept close to (budget figures in making ordinary appro- priations, but authorized an ex- penditure of more than $3,000,000,-1 000 to be paid over a period of 20 yea as a bonus to World War veterans. President Coolidge courageously vetoed the bill, ‘but it was pas: over his veto. On pension increase legislation for other veterans his veto was sustained in the Senate In the closing hours jon the President also vetoed a bill increasing salaries of postal employes. The passage of the bill to bring the navy up to the 5-5-3 ratio agreed on at the Washington con- ference, and a measure to reorgan- ize the diplomatic and consular services are included in the small remaining list of measures. A 40-mile filibuster just before adjournment left unacted on an urgency deficiency Dill car $130,000,000 to pay this y share of the bonus and a $111,000, 000 measure to carry out the navy construction work. ica’s trance into the World Court, rail- roads and shipping, farm aid, Muscle Shoals; foreign debts and reclamation also are left over. President Coolidge comes out of his first experience with Con- gress stronger than when the ses- sion began. The approval that thas greeted his course is in great con- trast with the reception accorded much of the work of the legisla- tors. He would have none of the eco- nomic fallacies, even though they were supported by powerful ‘blocs and cliques. The President has done good work and would have done much more had h party membership in Congres ained him. There are some members that stood out for economy and effic- iency in such a way that they need not be ashamed, but for others, judgment day in November should ‘be—and probably will be—one of fear and trembling. — Indianapolis News. of the legislatures, 1, it would ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “Whoo—whoo—ee—ee!"” whistled Johnny Jump Up, the garden fairy, as he stood on the window-sill. The Twins jumped out of bed and began to dress as quickly as their little fingers could fly. “We're com- ing! We're coming!” they called. “Have you got the green shoes?” “Haven't I just!” crowed the little fairyman, hopping around on one foot. “Here's one pair in this pocket and here’s one pair in this pocket. There! Put them on and do hurry, for we're late now.” “Where are we going tonight?” asked Nick. “Oh, that’s a secret,” said Johnny Jump Up, raising his eyebrows un- til they nearly touched his cap. “But wait till I tell you. I’ve had a dreadful time with the titmouse. He kept on eating bugs until his tummy stuck out like a sugar-bar- rel. We can’t ride him much longer if he keeps on.” By this time the Twins had on their magic shoes and had shrunk .until they were as little as Tom Thumb. © “Now we're ready!” ey cried.

They are marked: ‘From Here to There.

There lovely flowers there, too. s where the titmouse is now.” On flew the titmouse across states and states. Then he came to a wide river. Next they passed over enog. mous fields where wheat was gro ing as yellow as ripe oranges. _ After that they flew over wide prairies where nothing grew but gray sagebrush. And then they came to the high, high mountains. The titmouse flew right to the top. And there grew acres of forget-me- nots as blue as the sky, and white lilies and flowers of every color and hue so thick they looked like carpet.

By Albert Apple Most people.seem to have the notion that a bhaby is just a stomach with arms and legs attached.
