THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE (Established 1873) 2 entered at the powtottioe af Segoe mail matter. BEN FRANKLIN WAS SPORT bd January 17 suggests chiefly, in all the range of his- tory, the birthdate of possibly the most versatile Ameri- 29 | can of his day—Benjamin Franklin. To an exceptionally keen intelligence that made him at once a wit and a philosopher, he added an amazing number of gifts for his period of time. He was printer and editor, states- man and diplomat, scientist, astrologer, linguist, inven- tor, Quaker and cavalier, and whatever he came in con- tact with always aroused the interést of his wide range of intelligence. Franklin had a genius, in other words, for all forms of learning. ‘His great contribution to the Revolution was inducing France to come to the assistance of the colonies after the victory of General Gates at Saratoga had brought brilliant renown to the Continental army. It was the turning point in the American cause. Lafayette already was in this country and had cast the weight of his sword into the scales in behalf of the struggling colonies. Now the royal hand of France was stretched out to the Amer- ieans. Thé name of Franklin will be forever associated ee with that great stroke in diplomacy. eee ree ‘Then Franklin played @ great part later in the ad TORE «10; ND Ave EME.

In this day his quaint and wise sayings as “Poor Richard” are more or less neglected, but there is a mine of philosophy in these maxims. Henry Ford says young fellows should spend what they earn, but Franklin’s view was that “a penny saved is a penny earned.” So statesmen, diplomats, scientists and publishers all claim him as their patron saint, and it even has come to the knowledge of sports folks that they, too, can YOUR OS claim cless kinship with the grand old man of his time. For Franklin was an athlete. Especially in the water. CHILDRE It is not a mere whimsy to claim Franklin as a patron of inspiration to better agriculture and give the farmer increased faith, courage and efficiency. co eta ge li yt | At the Birthday Party! | THE STATES OLDEST NEWSPAPER of the Week will surge all over the state a great wave a f < t ! wh oa?

Among the devices of cooperation that have a tremen- dous influence on farmers is that of the annual Farm and Homemakers Week, now growing into general prac- tice in the northwestern states each January and now on in this state at the agricultural college at Fargo. Bringing together several hundred of the leading agri- culturists and livestock men of the state, it is a source of invigorating impulses for the industry of the soil. Each year the Week is expanded by taking in branches of agriculture of minor—but growing—importance com- pared to the major branches. Farm Week now com- Prehends grain growers, livestock men, poultrymen, dairy ' interests, beekeepers, potato growers, horse breeders, horticulturists, floriculturists, homemakers, Juvenile clubs, marketing associations. Each division has its. separate meetings’and programs over one or two days of the Week, but all enter into the general activ- ities of the seagions of the college.
