It is concrete evidence of the prog- ress that western North Dakota has been making despite the setbacks of poor grain crops. It is evidence of what may be accomplished in the future. Mr. Bennett points out that more than 50 per cent of the cream shipping business on his railroad line in North Dakota originates in territory tributary to Bismarck. While Mr. Bennett does not give us figures to show how these ship-! ments have increased from year to year, it is a matter of general knowledge that the increase has been steady and’ rapid. The reports of the state and federal departments | having to do with statistics, and the increase of business | in cream shipping companies, speak eloquently of the rise of this new industry in the western part of the state. It was a trite statement 2 year or two ago that failure of the.grain crop would after all prove of benefit to this section | of the state, in that it would turn the thought and energy | of all the people, those in the city as well as in the country. | + toward new methods of producing revenue. It is no criticism of any people to recall the old phrase that necessity is the! mother of invention. It may be that the difficulties in grain »roduction have not been an unmixed evil. If the result has been to set the western half of the state on a new road, to success, the hardships have not been entirely in vain. Nor is it likely that a bumper crop this year would swerve the western half of the state from its present trend to mixed farming — dairying, poultry, turkey raising, corn growing and livestock raising. A good grain crop would provide the meens for hundreds to enter on the more balanced and safer «ystem of agriculture, which may not:be so profitable as a great grain crop but gives a steady income and a sense of seenrity that makes for contentment. . No one in the western part of the state should lose sight of the necessity of preserving the victory that has been won against adversity. Every effort should be bent toward in- eveasing the diversity of production in this section of the state. Perhaps nothing could encourage this more than al tine dairy. and:corn fair In Bismarck, and certainly no more ineing argument of the stability of western North Da- uta could be offered to the prospective settler than an ex- position of this kind.

SPORTS Old fogies, observing the tremendous crowds at baseball games, often comment that the country has gone crazy on sports. “The ancient Olympic games in Greece were held in a stadium that seated 40,000 spectators. The Greeks, however, held their athletic meets only once every four years, in August. They wanted time to devote 1> improving their brains. Here we have baseball half the year and other sports the other half, with millions of people more interested in sports than anything else. Americans do everything to excess.

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which re being discussed in of the day. not express the press THE NEW SURGICAL FAD Styles change constantly, for which humanity well may be! thankful. For sometimes one ex- treme is far more satisfactory than another. Costumes, _ manners, methods and habits all yield to that law of mutability. Even ailments of the human system ere not ex-j empt. For example a brand new style in surgical operations is about to be offered to the suffering world. Henceforth, perhaps, if the prediction is borne out, a great many persons are going to lose their spleens. Appendicitis, fashionable for years, is going out of style. The appendix ig now de trop in polite circles, the spleen having crowded it out of the tral position. An operation for removal of the spleen would be much more distinctive than one for elimination of the ap- pendix. The appendicitis operation has become entirely too common, especially for the ultra fashion- able. Dr. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., the modiste of. the new vogue. He insists that chronically enlarged spleens simply will not do any longer, that they have got to come out. He thinks spleens soon will supplant appendixes on the operat- ing table, and he is right about that if fashion decrees it. It will re- quire, however, a little study on the part of the patient before he can qualify as a spleen subject. He will have to know where his spleen is and how it acts when it is guilty of misbeheavior. Otherwise doth he and the surgeon would have to guess at it, and that would ever do hecause one wishes to be certain about the latest models, | even in operations—Sioux City Journal. ONE OF JAPA GREAT MEN The death of Prince Matsukata removes the last but one of Ja- pan’s “elder statesmen.” Few men of his time have contributed more to the material prosperity and ad- vancement of Japan, and rarely has an Oriental proved so capable of projecting his imagination half- way across the world in search of ideas for the betterment of his fel- low countrymen. Matsukata was the father of Japanese finance, establishing a system of gold standard for the empire, serving as finance minister under Yamagata and inaugurating! the system of foreign export ex- change as a means to encourage Jepan’s experts and to absorb specie from abroad. Markets for Japanese products he sought stead- ily and, in the course of his activ: ity towards this end, opened Jap- anese legations at New York, Lon- con and Lyons. It is curious to reflect that this man of enlightenment wag a mem- ‘ber of the Sateuma feudal clan and, as a youth, fought under ‘his feudal lord in the Japanese civil war of restoration. The course of time brought him all the public pre- ferment a man could wish, ranging from special envoy to prime min- ister, his services finally being re- warded by elevation to the peer- age. The former Satsuma warrior has founded a family which now dis- tinguishes itself in business, a fit- ting succession to the labor of Matsukata’s life. His career spans, in a vivid manner, the story of modern Japan and not the least | significant reflection is that the Japan we know today has come to pass in that relatively short time.—- Detroit News. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The next day Cutie Cottontail woke up bright and early. That was really one reason he went to bed so early the night before. And he got dressed in a hurry and slipped on his trousers his mother had mended for him. But he never thought of looking in his pockets, If he had, he might have saved himsclf a whole lot of trouble later. He wanted to show the lucky bras: ring he had got on the merry-go- round at Happy Go Lucky Park to all of his friends. Then after that he was going to the nark and get his free ride, which the brass ring entitled him to. You had to be pretty smart to get the brass ring. It stuck pretty hard | and you had to’ pull like everything. “Pl go and show Ben and Billy Bunny first,” he said. “They'd never believe me if I didn’t show! it to them! I’ll—why, hello, here, what's this?” he cried, picking some- thing up from the front porch. “Why it’s my brass ring! How did! it ever get out here? I must have dropped it when I was coming in last night. Lucky I found it before I got too far away. So he put it into Nis pocket, not knowing that it was the very cur- tain ring his mother had been look- ing for'and which she had dropped when the postman came. Away he went whistling to Bunny's house. Ben and Billy were just up. “Lookee what I got!” cried Cutie, holding up the brass ring. “Let’s see! What is it! Where'd you get it? Gee! Aren’t you lucky, though!” was what they said ° and; Cutie was prouder than ever. “Yes,” he admitted. “It was pretty hard work but I got it just the samee.” “Wisht I was. you,” said Billy “So do I,” said Ben, What more could any little boy want. Next he went to show Corny and the This scrap NEVER CEASES lo BI ITeRESING “My goodness!” laughed Cutie. “I you'd tell me:how to get a tail first.” . And they all laughed and laughed at that. Cutie was quite a hero and he was getting prouder by the minute. But they say that pride goeth before a fall and I believe it’s true. Cutie met Mosey Mud Turtle Junior next and Mosey was cross and sulky that morning. Besides, he was jealous of Cutie because. he could run so fast. He never could have gotten a brass ring in a thou- sand years and when Cutie held it up he was furious. : Huh! A brass ring! Why, any- body can get a brass ring. I can go right this minute and get one off my mother’s curtain pole. Look’ here, fellows,.I bet you this brass ring is off Cutie’s mother’s curtain pole.” All Cutie’s friends began to take sides then. Some said he did and some said he didn’t. : Poor Cutie was in a dreadful way. “Nick and Mister Zip can tell yeu if I did or not,” asid Cutie, “Sure he did,” said Nick when they got there. “I saw him get it myself. But this isn’t it.” + But when Mrs. Cottontail heard the story she laughed and laughed. “I'll show you where it is,” she said, And there is was on her curtain pole. : Mosey Turtle wasn’t so far from wrong after all!
