The people of North Dakota and the northwest as a unit echo Governor Sorlie’s demand for official action in fixing a reliable protein standard for grading wheat. Every day's delay means dollars to the farmer. North Dakota’s biggest asset is its wheat crop, and the largest part of that crop is wheat of high protein content. To continue grading North ‘Dakota hard wheat on obsolete grading standards ig un- justifiable and indefensible. There is no reason why a protein standard could not obtain official des- ignation before the grain crop, already harvested, goes on the market.

If} the motor-bus appetite has been growing, so has, apparently, the thrift instinct. Im 1923 the market value of automobile production was three times that for 1916. During the same period the number of rdinary life policyholders rose from 10,700,000. to 1,515,000, and the face value of tie policies from | lightiy lesa than twenty billion dollars to more than forty-four billions. From 1916 to 1924 the increase in savings bank deposits v from five | billions to nearly eight and a half billions The growing intensity of life manifested in the automobile habit may be one psychological n for the rapid development of the insurance habit. Conscience, a hit uneasy over the cost of the hew car, sometimes makes amends for the depleted bank account by purchasing insurance protection for the wife and the children. ‘This same relati would be illustrated in the fire insurance statist r produce represents only thrift along with se associatio! We atone by insuring. The nation pays fire prem- jums on policies aggregating nearly one hundred and twenty billion dollars.

Fire prevention is much better than fire insurance. Still, the figures dot not indicate hopelessly wasteful and reckless nation. a The Two-Dollar Bill (Grand Forks Herald) It seems strange that in this age superstition should play any part in such a practical and pro. saic thing as the circulation of currency, ‘but it appears that superstition of the siiliest kind responsible for the non-circulation of two-dollar ‘bills. We are told that for this or that reason the two-dollar bill is considered unlucky by very many people, and that therefore there is no dz mand for the circulation of these pills. The larg ‘bill fs a convenient way of breaking the jump from one dollar to five dollars, and if these bills were in general circulation there would ‘be a material sav- ing in the wear ahd tear on the smaller bills, of which the treasury department complains.

So far as is known, rag weed serves no useful purpose, It and many other weeds which we have mentioned should be extermi- nated. Many grasses have pollen of con-! siderable size and their pollen is not) carried to a great distance. On this account, when cities have endeav- ored to control early hay fever caused by these grasses their efforts have been attended with considerable At the other extreme, however, is success. the pollen of the rag ‘weed, whose buoyancy is so great that a wind velocity of twenty miles or more will carry it several miles. The edu- cation of the public in! the noxious- ness of these weeds from a_ hay most of these laws because it has been only recently that their noxious character from a health standpoint has been recognized. Many of the less active hay fever weeds are men- low dock and the cockle bur. A number of cities have taken up the matter of preventing hay fever by the eradication of noxious weeds and have passed municipal _ ordi- nances which have been helptul. Health is one of man's most valu- able assets and every person has 8 right to ask that his health shall not suffer because of carelessness or neglect on the part of his neighbor. If hay fever weeds are allowed to grow on neglected premises, vacant fever standpoint is of the greatest importance. When this has been ac- complished suitable legislation will be enacted. There are many people, sufferers from hay fever, who do not realize that conimon weeds ure the cause of their suffering. There are many other people who allow weeds in their back yards and vacant lots or along their roadsides to go uncut be- cause they likewise do not under- stand that by allowing these weeds to grow unchecked they are bringing suffering to many persons who may be living even at distances consider- lots, and uncultivated fields, and to infect the air with noxious pollen, hay fever sufferers are certainly en- titled to relief. Until we are socially better edu- cated than we are today, there wi always be people who respect their neighbor's right in health as well as in other matters, only when they ar? compelled to do so by the majesty of the law, Thorough education of the public regarding hay fever weeds, reinforced by adequate legi lation’ and prophylactic treatment, should soon result in removing hay fever from the list of common dis- eases. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON POUCHER PELICAN DOES SOME HUNTING The sae morning that Colonel ’Possum found the birch bark note under his door in Dixie Land, Pouch- er Pelican opened his eyes, yawned a big yawn and rolled out of bed. What did he see before his aston- ished eyes but the same kind of a note that Colonel ’Possum had re ceived. A little piece of white birch bark with a message written on it. “Hey ho! What's this?” cried Poucher Pelican hbiding up the note with one foot while he tried to keep his balance with the other. Then he read: “Dear Sir: If you see a round, shiny, white thing around here’ anywhere, will you please bring it to Will o’ the Wisp's house, Dixie Land. Reward!” “Well, well, well!” said Poucher in a pleased voice. “A reward! I wonder what the reward will be. I hope it is a nice fat, big fish. I'll look as hard as I can for a white, round, shiny thing. today. 1 wonder what it can be and what they want it for. Will o’ the Wisp is a funny fellow, I suppose it is because he ‘can't go out in daylight that he nev- er can find things when he wants them.” Suddenly he flap fully. “I know!” you I know what it is! 0’ the Wisp is hungry. ants an oyster or a clam or 4 scallop or a limpet or something like that to eat. They all come in nice, round, shiny white shells—served up in their own dishes, you might say. I'll go this minute and see what I can find.” So down to the seashore waddled ped his win he cried, Mi H gs joy- "I bet er Will mien iys Poucher Pelican, looking this way and that for some of the things he had mentioned. “My, but I'm hungry!" he re- marked. “I'm very, very hungry! I think I’ll have my breakfast first.” So he paddled himself out a little distance on the water. In about two minutes he jcaught and swallowed three mackerel, fins, scales and all. “Now I feel’ much better,” he said as he waddled ashore. He walked along the sand, keeping his eyes open for a bit of brown looking weedy stuff that was usually a sign that a clam lay hiding beneath. At last he found it, and dug down with his bill. There lay a_ nice round clam shell in the hole. “I'd like to have the clam inside,” said Poucher Pelican, “but I can’t break the shell like the gulls do, by dropping them down on a_ stone. I'l just tuck it away in. my bill and take it to Will o' the Wisp’s house. Maybe I'll get the reward.” The next thing Poucher Pelican saw was a scallop shell. “I'll take this along,” he said, and tucked it away, too. After that he found all sorts of lovely round shells, And he kept tucking them away in his chin sack until he had about a dozen. “That's enough,” he said. “I ought to get”a lot of reward : And off he waddled to the pond where Will 'o the Wisp lived. The Twins heard him coming and opened the loor. “Here are a lot of’ shiny round white things,” said Poucher dumping out all the shells. “Where is the id Will o’ the Wisp hold had fat ing up a big fish which Poucher gobbled up at ones, “T like: ret hunt round time.” he: ania.|] rn things for youl! any (To Be Continued) tioned, however, particularly the yel- , ope “ee aay
