The agricultural problems of this state come under | his close supervision. He is the one man at Washington that | North Dakota desires to have familiar with what this state is trying to do. He can give help only as the necessity for federal assistance is brought to his attention. Good mission-| ary work can be done by state officials and business men in acquainting retary Jardine with the problems of the farmers. A study of agrarian conditions has convinced the level-! headed farmers of North Dakota that governmental panaceas will not solve their difficulties or guarantee them profitable returns on their crops. The farmers have seen too’ many laws passed from the best of motives fail to meet the crisis. Secretary Jardine in his public utterances has indicated that the solution lies with the farmers themselves in the adoption of better business methods with what legitimate cooperation the federal government can give them. Better! roads, better market conditions and better supervision of weights and grades as they affect the distribution of agri- cultural products are legitimate fields for governmental action. Secretary Jardine has shown that he is keenly alert to these needs and has emphasized the necessity for better roads, cooperation and the more orderly marketing as well as production of foodstuffs. One of Secretary Jardine’s first activities was to set on foot a careful investigation into the fluctuations of the wheat market last winter. He wanted to ascertain why wheat that sold at $2.05 a bushel in January was selling at $1.36 a bushel by April. His conclusion was that there was no sufficient cause for such a difference and he warned the various boards of trade that something must be done to prevent a recurrence of such a condition or else Washington would act. Secretary Jard realizes, however, that to control speculation is a difficult thing. If grain exchanges were closed there would be no public price for grain, and the farmer would lose heavily if he had to dicker with individuals. What the grain speculators might rob him of occasionally under the present system would be a bagatelle in compari- son to what the farmer would lose were there no great estab- lished grain exchanges. A word of warning to the ex- changes, however, is necessary, and Secretary Jardine keeping close tab upon their operations, realizing, however, the absolute necessity of grain exchanges in the distribu- tion of agricultural products. The dreamers and theorizers have not been able to suggest any better system of handling the grain trade than is now operative. Highly colored crop reports and other methods of manip- ulation start undesirable speculation or gambling in grain futures. A better system of crop reporting might assist materially. The recent slump in prices or spread as between January and April probably meant little loss to the farmers of the Northwest. The opportunity to sell on a rising mar- ket was adequate and the financial condition of the North- west states made early selling of wheat and other grains imperative. EARTHQUAKE DISASTERS Associating earthquakes usually with coast towns and tropic or semi-tropic regions, the tremors in Montana and neighboring states cause more than a passing interest. Loss of life has been small in most instances reported. Property damage rivals that caused by tornadoes. Deaths attribut- able directly to earthquakes in the United States are as a rule small compared to death losses in floods, fire or torna- does, but the tremors of the earth strike horror to communi- ties as great if not greater than does the tornado. The nation sympathizes with the stricken in Santa Bar- -bara. Only ten lives were reported lost, but millions in prop- erty damage resulted. Doubtless a better city will be built, with buildings specially constructed to stand severe earth tremors. ‘ San Francisco learned its lesson and when it rebuilt fol- lowing the most disastrous earthquake on the American continent, changes were made in the style and construction of buildings in hopes of withstanding an earthquake. Earthquakes in the tropics have been especially fatal to large numbers of people. Quakes in Sicily claimed 76,000 lives; Chile, 1,500; China in 1920, 200,000. In the San Francisco earthquake deaths reached 452, most of which were caused by the fire which started following the earth- quake. Gov. Sorlie’s reappointment of J. M. Devine should be approved generally. Few men know the state better. One term in an office such as this merely allows a man to get a good start. It is a department where continuity of service counts. With the exception of South Dakota, all parts of the Northwest participated in a $750,000 reduction in loans. Business volume was 17 per cent greater. A few more hope- ful signs of the times. Those eager politicians might save expenses by calling their political conventions after Gov. Sorlie has decided how he will fill the senatorial vacancy, by appointment or by elec- tion. Governor Al Smith of New York declares that he through with politics. Well, his enemies will claim that the democratic national convention last summer did some good. is The next worst thing than saying a man is harmless is to say he has good intentions.

Something will have to be done at once.” “The Fairy Queen thought that some of her enemies had taken it said Nick. “Certainly it was no friend,” de- clared the Green Wizard. “No friend would steal your very best bees and then not let on a word about it. No sirree!” They talked and talked about the matter and about who would be most likely to have the stolen hive. “When I think of it,” said the Green Wizard finally, “last night at moon-up I saw a lot of pixies go by carrying something on a board over their shoulders. It looked sort of bright and I am ag sure as flypaper that it was the golden bee-hive. The more I think of it, the surer I get. Yes, sir, I'm as sure now as a bottle of glue. It’s those pixies.” “Where do they live? y do asked Nick. “In Pixie Cave about two miles beyond this forest. The cave is in a rocky glen hard to find and hard to get out of. They have a secret cupboard which no one has ever been able to open. Even if you did find the cave you never would be able to find the bee-hive. for there isn’t a doubt in the world that they will put it into their magic cupboard and keep it there.” “But bees cannot live in a cup- board,” said Nancy. “They have to get out in the sun and be among the flowers.” “Well, who said that this was a regular cupboard?” the Green Wiz- ard exclaimed. “It's a most irregn- lar cupboard.

They might have confined their at- tention to a single word, since it was known beforehand that this was the only point over which dispute could arise. Yet, somehow, this was the only word mistranslated in the whole report. On the question what should be into another untry, sort of like; the looking-glass that Alice stepped through.

Just a big county fair that runs the year around to trim the biggest rubes in the world. Yet, even so, it's a great old street. One of the Broadway dance halls sought to improve trade during the sultry nights by ‘allowing men to dance without their coats. This did not help business as had been anti- cipated. On the contrary, many reg- ular patrons went to other ballrooms where the conventions are more strictly observed. They would rather have convention than comfort. It seems ages since I have seen a palm-leaf fan in public use. Boys used to hop the street cars and hawk them on corners for ten cents each Last night I saw a pile of them in the front window of a rather pros- perous novelty store and they were iced at 15 cents each, but the mar- et seemed dull. And, come to think of it, I haven’t seen a fan of any kind used on the street recently. I suppose the coming of air-weight clothes for men and the dispensing of much clothes by women accounts for the lack of fans. Or maybe this: is sométhing else to be blamed on prohibition, for I remember many a picture o: fat man with collar un- buttoned, sitting with a quenching drink in one hand and a fan in the other. —JAMES W.

But not a pistol Will a Single Word Endanger Peace? ' Let it be hoped that the peace of Europe is not again to be jeopardized by'a single mistranslated word. ; That happened already, in the Treaty of Versailles and Both these documents turned on a single word, and, in both, that one word was the only one in which the French and English versions seriously differed. , Now come reports (which may be cleared up before this reaches print) that a similar difference exists on the pivotal word of the proposed security pact. France and England nearly broke, and the peace of the world was endangered, because the French version of the League of Nations, and if made otherwise would be an act of aggres- sion by France which would obli- gate England to intervene on the German side. Doubtless, the present unofficial reports are mostly politics, to save the faces of the negotiators. But it should be made certain, es- pecially after two experiences, that these differences are not reflected in the official texts. It is far cheaper to argue it out now, even if some politician has to lose his job for telling the truth, than to fight it out later in blood and fire. History May Not Agree With This Verdict When the supreme court votes seven to two, its decision is law. So the decision sustaining the New York syndicalist act is now the law of the land, in spite of the fact that the verdict of history will probably sustain the dissenting opinions of Justices Holmes and Brandeis. It is now the law that the mere preachment of destructive theories, without direct incitement to unlaw- ful action, may be made a crime, in spite of the constitutional guaran- tees of free speech. The better doctrine, according to the dissenting opinions, and, what is more important. according to the ex- perience and consensus of opinion of the free peoples of the world gener- ally, is that crime consists of act, or incitement to act, and that phil- osophical opinions, however per- nicious, can only be crimes when they actually menace action. gotten or did not know that there is need of a health margin.

Human bodies, like businesse: must have a margin to make safe when an unusual stress comes. Whether this stress is in the form of vigorous exercise or disease, the result is the same—death, unless there is sufficient health margin to offer resistance. —— | POET’S CORNER ° COUNSEL TO A YOUNG MAN Clasp not the ankle of the cursive moon agitate despair: They know you not; and singularly Nor the stars with your soon Their beauty shall not be your nightly care.
