Nr (Official City, ., ate snd County Newspaper) All the More Reaso., The fact that the 19 wheat will tes€ 4 more protein than the crop of 192: reason why the North is all the fi"" Dakota farmer showld sell his wheat on a protein test or in other words upon its full milling value. Experiments recently in Leland Stanford university promise to relegate present methous of grading the farmer's wheat. It is said that a high school ‘boy with a few weeks’ instruction and in expensive equipment can ertain the protein value of the different specimens of wheat, ‘Th day may not ‘be 9) far distant when every elevato” will have a small laboratory for testing the wheat to arrive at its real milling value. When that day does come, the farmer probably will realize millions more from his crop each fall than is now the c A Twin City paper fécently had this very significant news item: made First test of samples of the new North- west spring wheat crap iniicate that the 1925 crop will excel that of last year in mill- ing quality, flour and grain testing experts said Wednesday. The protein content of the new wheat, associated with high milling quality, prom- ises to be a full 1 per cent greater than last year, according to F. W. Bliss, chemist at the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. Last year, he said, the protein content of spring wheat averaged about 11:5 per cent. Protein, he explained, is the quality in flour which gives volume to loaves of bread. One of the cars of new wheat arriving Wednesday from Lemmon, S. D., tested 13.10 Per cent protein. Secretary Jardine in his Mandan address made it very plain that methods of marketing grain can be improved by the farmer taking greater care in cleaning his product before marketing it. If the system of grades followed now can be revised to give the farmer the full milling value of his wheat. a great justice will ‘be done. Shows Fine Increase Farmers are either milking more cows in North Dakota than ever before or else they are securing greater production though selection and better feed- ing. Cream shipments over the Northern Pacific from North Dakota points in May were one-third larger than in 1924. This tells volumes for progress made in diversification. But the battle is not won yet. A corresponaent of The Tribune writes that in ‘a recent trip over this section, he note the scarcity of grain and fodder crops. The price of wheat seems in some instances to have lured the farmers from diversification. It is unfortunate that such is the case. Despite the occasional farmer who ‘has Bone in stronger for wheat, there are many, how ever, who are feeding stock for market and milk- ing cows. In this way they are securing a constant income and cease to worry over: crop failures. The figures on milk shipments announced by the Northern Pacific are reassuring in face of the fear expressed ithat the price of wheat might be so at: tractive to the farmers that they would revert to the one crop plan. Mason Exonerated ‘Those who know Nelson Mason, Senator Frazier’s private secretary, regret the unfortunate incident at Dickinson. His reputation is above reproach. De- wpite the bitterness that raged! in politics while he officiated in the governor's office during the hey @ay of the Nonpartisan League, Mr. Mason was al- ways courteous and tactful to political friend and foe alike. His complete exoneration at Dickinson of any wrongdoing or any action warranting his arrest on such a trumped up charge will be wel- comed by many who know the exemplary kind of life he thas always lived while a resident of Bis- marck. Willing to Pay Figures announced recently by H.. P. Goddard, secretary of the Association of Commerce, upon the financial aspects of the local tourist camp in- dicate strongly that the motorist who tarries for 2 night or so in a city is willing to pay for the serv- ice he is given. Bismarck’s camp is well policed, sanitary and the guests are protected against disturbance. This all should be worth the nominal fee paid. A few years ago cities competed for the tourist trade. Rival cities .set up elaborate facilities at no cost to the motorist. In time the cities found that they had made a great mistake. Persons camped within their limits et the city’s expense for months. Privileges courteously extended! were abused. Camps became s foul end unsightly places. The system everywhere bag changed. Most cities are charging a nominal fee so that those who travel by auto may be assured good water, light, cooking stoves and a sanitary place to pitch their tents. Sojourn is limited to a certain time to preclude the “summer boarder” who makes the northern camps in summer, then ag winter nears shifts hig base to the south, practically sponging on the goodwill and enterprise of the various municipalities, Putting the tourist camps upon a pay basig is a step in ‘the right direction. Kicking Who said kicking cosn’t get one anywhwere? Consider the case of John Williams of Knoxville, Tenn. According to press dispatches, he took a youth into his chambers and administered three solid kicks, a posteriori, after the lad's mother told him that the judge's small fine would not stop her boy trom drinking. Perhaps this can ‘hardly ‘be made a regular feature of our jucicial system, Some judges are not fitted, either temperamentally ph: ally, for such work But it sounds like a dandy scheme for some cases in the divorce courts, for example. After all, there's nothing like making the pun: ishment fit the crime. or Progress If there is one statement that ought to be atlowed to die speedily and quietly, it is “It was good enough for our fathers, so it's good enough for us.’ That expression has probably stood in the way of progress more cften than any other in the language Tn an eastern city recently certain councilmen violently opposed the construction of a needed brivge into an industrial disrict because the oll, inadequate one had served earlier generations in fine style. ange, “hole essence of progress lies in discovering things ‘better tran our fathers ever dreamed The French governm®n: -— : lin to pinch ihit for Marshay"fyPut in General Nau is hoping that he won't strike ‘és, !1_ Morocco and full, “h the bases That Premier Painleve must be a lucky man has been deserted hy the Socialist party.

In the absence, of any available figures as to the pay- ments made ‘by ‘the pools instituted in the North- West, it may be unfair to include the members of these in the generalization, but assuredly those who marketed their wheat outside of the pool re- ceived no such price as the Canadian pool member. Yet the Canadian wheat pool is the newest an! therefore the least in point of development of the cooperative marketing associations in Canada. At the terminal, Port Arthur, its terminal and storage facilities are much less than those of the Saskatche- wan Cooperative and of the Grain Growers. It owns and leases elevators that have a 3,000,000- ‘bushel capacity, as against 15,000,000 operated by the Saskatchewan Cooperative and 5,000,000 by the Grain Growers. Perhaps its advantage lies in the delayed ‘payment. The American farmer would feei restive under a plan that, even if it paid him more, spreac! out the payments from one harvest to another, He wants the cash for his wheat when he hauls it to market. He withholds none and in his rush to cash in, beats down the price, gluts the market and takes a heavy discount for his speed. The wheat Pool is the antithesis of this—a delayed marketing and delayed payments, and it seems to be a pay- ing way. The Mark of a Gentlemen (Roanoke Times) Men sometimes lose their tempers\and address one another with a harsiness an. discourtesy alto gether foreign to their true selves. A case of the kind occurred in the proceedings of the Dayton trial Tuesday when Attorney General Stewart, angered by interruptions by counsel for the defense, cried out to Arthur Garfield Hayes, “Wi!l you please keep your mouth shut?” Yesterday Mr. Stewart rose immediately after the opening of court and offered apology for hig action, “I am sorry tiat I said what I did to the «'stinguished attorney for the defense,” said he. “I should not have said it; it wag entirely out of place and discourteous, and I regretted it as soon as it fell from my lips.” Spoken like a gentleman and Mr. Hayes, of course, made ‘haste to accept the apology in he same gra- cious spirit in which it wag tendered. That men occasionally fall out anc’ quarrel is regrettable but inevitable. However, innate manli- ness will dictate an avowal of regret and a con- fession of wrong. To hold out and refuse to make amends is stubborn and it is anything but manly. The man who iboasts that he never under any cir- cumstances admits himself wrong makes a silly boast of an unbecoming attitude. Jt takes a real man to admit being in the wrong, whereas any fool can cotnend that he was in the right, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. ETTER FROM7S —— TO LESLIE BiX_ ATHERTON CONTINUED “TT | Leslie. when Dick voiced this «| rible thought he stopped, put hig hand over his mouth, and turned paler than ever. I knew he felt that he was betraying his wife. “Sally, the thought is killing me,” he suid'as if in extenuation. “You know, however, that women do £0 insane after childbirth. Tell me what she said to you, Sally,” he asked pathetically. I coula not tell him, and I asked in my turn: “Did Bee tell you, Dick, that she did not expect to get well?” “Not in so many words, but she told me how to dispose of all her per- sonal belongings if she did not. re- cover. You can understand’ ‘fhat even the idea of her thinking about, such things would torture me, and I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't stop. She said: ‘Dear Dick, I must tell you what is in my brain, but first T must make you understand that I feel as though my heart were dead. I do not seem to have much feeling any more.’ “T took her in my arms, and my tears dropped on her face. She seemed surprised. ‘What are you crying for? she asked, “Don't you know, dear? I an- swered. ‘Wouldn't you cry if you thought I had no more feeling for you?” “She smiled a little, and answered vaguely: ‘I do not know, Dick—I do not know. But [ do want you to understand—you and Sally and Les- lie, for you would be the only ones in the whole world who would be interested in souvenirs of my life.’ Forever and Forever “‘But your baby, dearest,’ I ex- postulated. ‘Surely to your’ beauti- ful little girl you will be the greatest interest in life.

Do you not realize that I could never do that? Why, that baby is a replica of you, dear, in miniature, and already that bit of humanity has wound itself about my heart in such a way that if I tried to dislodge it I would have to tear out my own heartstrings in doing so.’ “She looked at me 6ddly, Sally, and said to herself: ‘Isn't it ‘strange, that Dick feels so differently toward ithe baby from what I do? I thought fathers never had much interest in newborn babies.’ : “Then she spoke a little louder. ‘I wonder if I would be jealous of my own daughter, “Sally,” said Dick earnestly, “per- haps that hurt me more than any- thing else she said. Do you think she will come out of this awful de- lirum and love her baby very soon?” (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Instantly his neck stretched out un til it looked like the tail of a kite. “Which hill did your last button fly over?” asked Juggle Jump of the cook. “That one,” said Puff, pointing to t high hill’ in the looked like a mountain, “Then that’s the way we shall go.” said Juggle Jump. “Come, Twins.” And off he started, doing a goose- step in his anxiety to be gone. The Twins said good-bye to the Fairy Queen, thanking her for her tea, and promising to find as many of Puff’s lost buttons as possible. Then they followed Juggle Jump who was moving very fast by this time. If they hadn't had the magic shoes which the Fairy Queen had given them, they never would have been able to keep up. But the magic shoes were so marvelous that each step they took moved them forward about a hundred yards. Before many minutes the three travelers stood on top of the high hill over which Puff's button had gone. ' “I thought so,” said Juggle Jump! soberly, nodding his head up and down like a China mandarin. “This is the Land of the Movies. That but- ton couldn't have come to a worse place.” “That sounds all right,” said Nick. “We like movies.” “Oh, but this is different,” said Juggle Jump. “They haven't a mov- ing picture theatre in the whole place. This is the land where every- thing moves all the time. Nothing ever stops—not even the street cars. | The people never go to bed, but take distance that their pepe on roller skates, and even the clocks wiggle on the walls. If you go beyond that fence, you also will have to weep moving. And as for the button, it has probably rolled ten miles since it arri a minute and I'll se Juggle Jump pressed the button on his coat which said “stretch.” In- stantly his neck stretched out until it looked like the tail of a kite. And Juggle Jump's head was off in the distance looking down into the new country. Then he pressed the button which said “as you were,” and his head came back with a snap like a rolled- up tape measure. “That's right,” he said. no mistake. It really is Movie Land, But you have magic shoes and I Just wait “I made thing that I forgot to tell you. If you two take my hands whenever one of my buttons is pushed, you be- come the same as I do. If I stretch, you stretch, and if I shrink, you shrink. If I blow up, you blow up. It may. be convenient.” Juggle Jump now moved down the hill and the Twins followed. They soon got to a level place and sudden- ly found themselves in the queerest! land in the world. Everything was moving; the horses and cows ate as/ they walked, the chickens laid eggs as they scratched and the milk-maids danced with their milking buckets. The Twins couldn't have stopped if they wished. A new power moved them right along. (To Be Continued.) (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.)

ROWELL This is written in mid-Pacific. Three miles straight down is the bottom of the ocean. A thousand miles further on, it is still three miles deep. Out of that bottom rise the vol- canic Hawaiian Islands. The process of their making is visible and is not yet finished. ‘On the easternmost island the lava is still flowing, and the island is still enlarging. There are two forms of lava, the “pahoehoe” and the ‘a-a,” which the rains disintegrate into soil at dif- ferent rates. From flows whose date is known, the rate of disintegration is known. The same rains gradually wear down the outlines in which the de- posits are originally made. On the island next further west, the lava has stopped, but the rains have made only minor alterations in the DAY, JULY 31, 1925 forms. ‘As we go on westward, the rains have done their work more and more —though these islands are less, not more, rainy—until on the western- most the still volcanic soil has no, volcanic outlines. The only rational explanation is that the islands were made by the process that is still going on, in a time that can be computed from it, and that the western islands are older and the eastern ones progress- ively younger. This is the testimony, of the rocks, in one of the few places on earth where the process is uni- form and simple, and is so visible that anyone can see and understand it. ‘The time, to pile the -islands up three miles from the bottom and other three miles to the tops of their. highest peaks, and for the rains to form the soil and erode the outlines, is enormous. Where the Individual Does Not Count Score one more for the Pacific. The Albatross expedition found the famed Sargasso Sea, in the Atlantic, relatively poor in both animal and vegetable life, but, going into the Pacific, it found a region teeming with specimens; plankton of every variety, from microscopic diatom to tiny crustacean; small creatures preying on these, and larger on + these, up finally to the great sharks, sea lions and whales, whose car- 0 | casses, in turn, consumed by big and little, made the whole cycle again. On the border of two currents, warm and cold, all these were con- centrated, in unexampled richness. There is a strange fierceness in the sea. All the creatures in it are cannibals, and none of them ever lives to die a natural death. Each one spends its whole life Pursuing and being pursued, and only one in a million lives to have offspring. That one begets a million descendants, so the race surviyes. The individual does not count. over Not Much Improvement On Primeval mes Out of the sea we all came. Its salts are in our blood; our tempera- ture is that of the primordial waters, before the earth cooled; our life is still internally aqueous, a “combus- tion in a moist medium”; and our most delicate mechanisms regulate our internal sea, that it may con- tinue the conditions to which life was originally adapted. Physically, we are of the sea. And spiritually, we have abolished of its murderous ruthlessness not much except the waste of cannibalism. A soldier medium gives us better Protection, so we can survive with less than a million offspring, and a, few land species, of which man is imperfectly one, have substituted gregarious cooperation for individ- ual competition. On this is founded what little approach to morality we have yet achieved. The sea is profoundly immoral. The land is imperfectly moral.
