The bulk of reports of these sales are from the} western part of the state. The west of the river country, especially, has figured much in reports of transfers. Land row is being bought chiefly by North Dakotans—farmers who stuck through the hard years, have reaped golden pro- fits in a good year, with their feet already solidly on the ground as a result of diversified farming. There is no bet- ter advertisement for the western one-third of the state than this situation. There is no better advertisement for North Dakota than for the world to learn that her own farmers are buying land. Inquiries, too, are being received from persons living beyond the state’s borders, who desire to rent North Dakota land, with a view of being able to purchase land later on.} All of this is a harbinger of active immigration and pur- chase of land by outsiders in the near future. North Da-| kota may reasonably expect a considerable addition to her farming population by next summer. ported in North | RADIO PUBLICITY States are recognizing the advantages of using the as a publicity agency. Minot under the auspices of the; Gold Medal station, St. Paul-Minneapo! put “on the air’, a very interesting program. Incidentally the “Magic City’ received some very good advertising. The short terse re- | marks of R. E. Barron of the Second National Bank and Hal Davies, publisher of the Minot Daily News, not only re- | flected a well grounded civic pride but both speakers took occasion to boost North Dakota and her opportunities to thousands of “listeners in.” North Dakota should have a broad-casting station at the Capital City of the state through which daily, some message could be carried to the nation together with features of en- tertainment. Features of North Dakota interest broadcast through a Twin City station only emphasizes the need of a radio station in this state. radio | A BUBBLE PUNCTURED Betore the election it was charged that a “million dollar Republican slush fund” was being raised and that it was being handled through the Federal Reserve Banks. Ordi- narily, such a charge would not be made unless those who made it knew they could prove it. But those who talked Joudly of this effort to “buy the election” could not prove it. The charges came before a campaign committee in Wash- ington yesterday. There was no evidence tending to sup- port the charge, and it was promptly dismissed. That it was so dismissed may well be remembered by voters when they hear the ery of “wolf” in future campaigns. FORTUNE Publication of income tax returns brought to light many an industrial romance. The second largest income taxpay ers in Maine—a man and wife—were in very moderate c' cumstances a few years ago. They became rich, manufac- turing paper pie plates. ! The easiest road to wealth is to make or distribute 2 | necessity. Select something people have to have. Devote your time and energies to it. A “good living” is almost cer- | tain. Riches are probable, if you can win out against com- petition. The hardest road to fortune is dealing in a com- modity people do not consider a necessity, and which re- quires long and patient educational campaigns to induce them to buy. DEATH Death now does not come to the average American until he is nearly 58 years old. So claims the statistician of a large insurance company. When the Civil War started, the average duration of life was only about 40 years. In George Washington’s day it was around 30. jo Mark, these are AVERAGE figures. The gain has been | made chiefly by cutting the death rate among young chil- | dren, especially babies. People who reach maturity don’t live any longer than formerly, if as long. Fewer die in early youth ,that’s all. i IMPROVED { Farmeis, who suffer heavy money losses from frosts, will appreciate the importance of this new A “cold weath- er corn” that grows on South American mountains as high as 12,500 feet above sea-level (where it’s warm) is being introduced into the United States. The ears are small and imperfectly formed, by American standards, but maybe our horticultural scientists can im- prove them by cross-breeding—and produce a. corn less easily killed by the frost. That would help cut the cost of living | a bit. : | \ PIRATE Captain Kidd wasn’t a pirate. To the extreme contrary, | he was an officer of the law, a chaser of pirates. This amaz- | ing claim is made by Homer E. Cooper, writing in American Mercury magazine. Consider the evidence on the other side. Which are we to believe? Maybe safety lies in accepting | both—that Kidd was a Jekyll and Hyde, a pirate and police- | man alternating. i History is filled with inaccuracies. That’s human. Con- sider how rival politicians and factions make it impossible | to learn the exact truth about the present, let alone the past.

As Nancy and Nick and Johnny weep came along riding Johnny sweep's broom, Johnny called out, Get out of that!” “I won't,” shouted the goblin, at the same time dancing around ‘the top of the chimney four times on one foot... . “Is that’one of the Sooties?" ask- ed Nancy who really couldn't take her eyes off this queer person who was giving such an unusual perform- ane ” said Johnny Sweep. “The 1 Sooties are nice and kind, but this is an awful fellow. He's waiting around to grab the Sooties when they came out of the chimney car- rying the Christmas notes to Santa Claus. And. once he gets one you've got to have your wits about you if you ever want to get it back. By that time they had reached the roof and the Twins and Johnny Sweep jumped off the broom and ran over to the chimney. “Hello!” said Snitcher n’t it a cold day, thoug! Which seemed friend Naney thought. Surely thi Snatch person couldn't be so awful. But then she remembered what Johnny Sweep had said about him being so smart. So she kept one eye on him, all right. “Yes, it’s cold,” said Johnny “That's why I'm wondering what you're doing up here.” “Oh, that!” said the goblin, “Why the chimney is nice and warm and the smoke smells good. I get warm o the very end of my toes and the marrow in my boncs. That's why I'm here.” “Sure!” nodded Johnny Sweep. “I Lelieve you—not.” “And what are Snatch. enough, Snitcher you doing her asked Snitcher Snatch. “And this boy and girl! What are they doing here?

A large percentage of chil- dren under the age, of three drink milk, the survey showed, but with advancing age this percentage is steadily reduced.

Health experts frequently say ‘cities are hotbeds of disease, and that most of our illness |is due to living an unnatural life. Yet an expedition from ‘the great medical university, Johns Hopkins, learns that :;monkeys living in the esh air and sunshine of Central ‘America have physical ailments like civilized man’: | “We found that almost all of the monkeys were ill,” reads he report. | The monkeys had abscessed teeth, pleurisy, gland swellings, lice, arid so on. i Native Indians nearby, living in the same healthful en- jvironment as the monkeys, are being exterminated rapidly ‘by pneumonia and tuberculosis. ringworm, { | Along comes Prof. G. Elliot Smith, famous British Egyp- | tologist, and announces that people 6000 years ago had all \sorts of diseases. This is learned by laboratory examina- jtion of mummies. Ancient Egyptians rarely had tuberculosis. But they had lots of cancer, rheumatism, mastoiditis, smallpox and hard- ning of the arteries. Search history. Explores the modern world. Seemingly everywhere you find ases — and quite naturally, since nature has to have ways to kill living creatures off to make room for oncoming generations. The nearest known approach to perfect health is among the Eskimos. Cold fresh air and plenty of exercise! But don’t draw the wrong conclusion from all this. ; Don’t decide that disease is inevitable, unavoidable. The outstanding fact is that health is constantly in dan- ger of attack, no matter where you are, and that it must be constantly protected. Precautions can largely overcome unhealthful environ- ment. i Modern medical, sanitary and hygienic knowledge give us a great advantage. We know how to defend ourselves. The ancient Egyptians din’t. Neither do the monkeys or Indians who live close to nature. Defense is chiefly in keeping the body’s powers of resist- ance strong. Cleanliness, deep breathing, moderate eating, [walks of sleep with windows open, regular exercise, long Ww Iks, , freedom from, worry—all help.
