O. Grangaard, former North Dakotan, who is now Assistant Vice President of the First National Bank in Min- neapolis, in an article in the Ninth District Banker, declares that conservatism of its bankers, businessmen and farmers is the greatest asset of North Dakota. North Dakota’s conservatism has been under-advertised rather than unduly exploited in the past. Rather its radicai tendancies and drift toward state socialism have featured the press of the nation. It is refreshing publicity that comes from the former North Dakota banker and legislator. He sees a decided change in the state’s attitude toward | many things. There has been a back-spin, as it were, of the pendulum and some of the conservatism that developed this great state is being reflected in the handling of its public and private affairs. The state, is not out of the woods as yet. There is dormant at least a faction which still sees in state paternalism the solution of some of the agrarian prob- lems, but Mr. Grangaard issues this advice: “In times past, the farmers have had but one pay day and that in the fall when the crop was harvested. In many in- stances the entire proceeds of the crops were used to liqui- date living expenses incurred during the balance of the year. On the pay-as-you-go-plan made possible by diversification, the farmer will not find himself harassed in the fall by the accumulation of these expense items.” Mr. Grangaard sees in the demand for North Dakote farm lands the first step toward stabilizing conditions in this state. He says: “There is one outstanding element’ necessary in the solution of the North Dakota problem which has as yet just begun here and there to show effects of thawing out. I refer to the movement of land. A wholesome legitimate demand for land, purchased by those who are in such financial condition as will assure them of a reasonable possibility of paying for it would do more toward restoring conditions in North Dakota than any other one element that I know of. A sudden boom or an unusual demand would not be a healthy solution as undoubtedly re- action would follow, but a movement of land in which such land passes from those who now own it heavily encumbered, into the hands of those who may own it less encumbered, would do much to re- store a favorable condition.” A BUSINESS-LIKE METHOD Gov. A. G. Sorlie, his co-workers on the Highway Com- mission, members of the Board of Administration and sev- eral members of the Burleigh County Board of Commission- erg; are to be congratulated for the degree of cooperation shown in a solution of the paving of the Penitentiary road. Alll differences have been ironed out and the matter now is in the hands of the State Highway Commission to decide the details. f Gov. Sorlie and Secretary Black of the Highway Com- mission, found the railroads ready to assist in the paving , . project. They worked energetically to secure participation of the railroads as ‘well as the Federal Bureau of Public roads. Under the force account plan, the cost of the im- provement has been decreased materially. It is hoped also to pave the short stretch from the end of the city paving to the state capitol building. This kind of cooperation and business-like manner of - handling the highway projects should meet with the ap- ‘proval of the taxpayers. Gov. Sorlie has insisted that affairs of the Highway Commission be conducted in a business-like manner. Politics will have no place, he says, in the admin- istration of that highly important board. He is spurring on the personnel to give the best in them to the construc- tion of a system of highway in this state which will be a credit to North Dakota. . ‘ :' The improvement of the National Parks Highway through the penitentiary grounds will add another concrete link in this transcontinental highway. Several dangerous railroad crossings will be eliminated.

She had a hurt wing. “Dear me!” cried the little bird doctor when he saw her. “How did you ever get that, Mrs. Fish Hawk? It looks as though somebody had shot you.” “They did,” sighed Mrs. Fish Hawk. “It was a man.” “What did he do that for?” de- manded Doctor Bill in surprise. “You aren’t good to eat. Maybe he thought yow were a wild duck.” “No,” said Mrs, Fish Hawk. “He He knew it was me.” “And did he do it on purpose?” cried Nancy. “Yes,” said Mrs. Fish Hawk. “He at's queer,” declared Doctor Bill. “You never hurt anything. You don't steal chickens or hurt lambs or little pigs like some of the other big birds do. All you do is to go fishing in the ocean and take a nice fat fish home to your children in your nest.” “I know! I know!” nodded Mrs. Fish Hawk. “I'll tell you all about it.” “Let me fix your wing first,” said the kind little doctor.

There is no international law yet outlawing, such persons as traitors to the commonwealth of nations. They can probably not even be hanged if caught. But they are a public menace; most of all to the nation they misrepresent. Government Must Win “Rum War” Now that the government has de- clared, not police ban, but open war on “rum row,” there is nothing to do but win that war., The govern- ment might confess that it is not ubiquitous enough to catch every domestic bootlegger. We may even anticipate that it will be a long time before prohibition is completely en- forced at home, and we may have charity on the congenital illogic of those who contend that it is there- fore a “failure,” or on the’ legalistic ignorance of those who imagine thaj the law could constitutionally bi “liberalized” by any process short of changing the constitution itself. These befuddlements are intellect- udi, and are part of the price of democracy. But open defeat, by a foreign invader, in open war, is something no nation can admit until it has been actually conquered. And to prevent that conquest, no nation will put forth any less than all its power. If our petty “rum fleet” is not enough, we have men and money enough to multiply it by two, or ten, FABLES ON HEALTH | JUST FORGET WORRY | , : ; One cannot stop worry by volun- tary effort.

And how did it happen to hurt you?” “Well,” sighed Mrs. Fish Hawk, “It was this way. I always build my nest in a tall tree not too far from the seashore. When I catch a fish in the sea, I fly with it at once to my nest and divide it among my children. “This year I built my nest near to a big summer hotel.

Soundest Mind’ Is One Which Is Alert “I never know how I feel until [ see the newspapers,” said Colonel Johin Coolidge, the presidents fa- ther, That is pr@fty near the case with every person of wholesome mind as well as body. Colonel Coolidge, to be sure, at eighty years, must anticipate some ails, and final weakness and death. But for all of us, young or old, in- trospection is an unwhoJesome habit, physically as well as mentally. The soundest mind is the one that is con- stantly and actively interested, im- personally, in something outside it- self. Self-centeredness is one of the tests of mental inferiority or abnor- mality. If you find things impor- tant only in proportion to their re- lation fo yourself, suspect yourself. Such “sensitiveness” is a mark, not of “fineness,” but of weakness of character. And physically, it aggra- vates whatever ills we have. ° Find something outside of your- self. Be interested, not in what it can do for you, but in what you can \do for it. So shall you live longer, happier, wiser and sounder. Once ice formed at the Falls, which in some way stopped this roar, and all the people near, awakened. A baby is crooned to sleep by the mother.
