It is a time now when economy must, be practiced in public as well as private affairs and there has been much crii- icism of late relative to waste in she state institutions of higher educatior. His inference that there may 9: snobbery and the creation of a false aristocracy based on something else than an “aristocracy of brains” may or may not hit at fraternity life ‘which on some campuses in North Dakota has been over-emphasized. Mr. Sauvain does not elaborate in his letter to the heads of the various edu- cational institutions, but one can read between the lines. It is true that parents are making a great sacrifice to send their sons and T duction in his state, the price had dropped far below one dollar a barrel. R. C. Holmes of the Texas Com- pany points out the extreme waste resulting from uncurtailed production. Steps to reduce production, he points out, is not always a price-hoosting measure but purely to conserve a most important natural resource. He has this to say: “It 1s roughly estimated that the waste in the producing branch of the industry alone, in a period of a little over twenty years, has been upward of $4,000,000,000, cal- culated at approximately 10,000,- 000,000,000 cubic feet of gas, over 2,000,000,000 barrels of recover- able oil, and approximately $1,000,- 000,000 in unnecessary drilling facilities and other expense which could have been avoided had the business been carried on in an orderly, economical and conserv- ative way. And to a very large extent this waste continues, prob- ably the greatest being in the waste of gas, which waste is now fully one-third of the quantity being consumed.” “Little Blue Goose” Eskimos of Aklavik, Alaska, named Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh the “Little Blue Goose.” It was the highest compliment at the command of their limited vocabulary. For it is the blue goose which flies over many scas and many lands, It is seen on the Baf- fin Islands in summer but at the first hint of fall wings its way far to the south where the warm waters flow. The career of Lindbergh and his distinguished wife hajds the nation’s interest. Their arrival in Tokio again focuses world attention upon this in- teresting pair, both modest and shy in demeanor but withal efficient mes- sengers of good will from their home- land to the country of the Niponese. Probably few of the blue geese 50 highly regarded by the Eskimos of the cold north have flown as far as Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh. “Lindy” covered as high as 30,000 miles in 12 months and the “Little Blue Goose” has many thousands of miles in the air to her credit. In many ways the abilities of Mrs. Lindbergh are obscured by the fame of her husband, but she is an im- portant member of tHe partnership. After nine hours of instruction, she took her first Solo flight. A most apt. pupil. Later she obtained a pilot's and glider’s license. She has earned for herself a name in aeronautics.

His objections presented in par below 0 that they can keep up with the|Sseem reasonable and sound: social parade. There is a good and a bad side to fraternity life on the campus. In many instances the environment of fraternity or sorority life-helps rather than retards student development. It it all too true that many students un- fit for such campus activity fall by! the wayside and practice extravagance which often means a sudden termina- tion of college careers. Of course in calling attention to! college snobbery, one must differenti- ate between those who just go to col- lege and those who go to learn. Many go for the sports, the social side of college life and for no other rea- son. As one educator has pointed out those who go to satisfy a thirst for knowledge will not let anything di- vert them. ‘Thus then, the way out is not an abolition of, fraternity Ufe, It is rather better control and more effi- cient supervision. Many a campus is| in dire need of democratization. Therc 4s too much snobbery and too manv cliques. But as one writer has well said, it is no credit to any institution to turn out mere “babes in the woods.” His conclusions arc: “If any man or woman is help- less before the problems of sex, alcchol and _automobiles upon graduation this is nothing for any College to be proud of, no matter what the prowess of that indi- vidual with respect to the binomial theorem or the hortatory sub- junctive. “For the few—but we may hope ever growing number—who go to college to learn something we can have institutions well adapted for this specific purpose.’ Such stu- dents will not be seriously dis- tracted by men, women, gin or cars. . + “The way out is not through abolishing the perplexing prob- Jems but through the candid, hon- est and rational differentiation of our institutions of higher learn- ing. But it will be hard for us to surrender our educational bluff and pretense to such a degree as would be essential to accomplish this reform.” Production of Oil Overproduction affects oil just as 4 disturbs distribution of all kinds of agricultural products, but the rem- edy to curtail surplus in oil is much more simple than on farms, where great supplies of foodstuffs continue to pile up. In Oklahoma, the militia and mar- tial law in the oil-producing centers brought the price of oil to a small- profit basis. Texas took drastic steps to revive a demoralized industry and _ t© prevent great waste of a natural resource. Kansas and California are con- templating steps to conserve their oil supply. These states feel keenly the need of oil-conservation laws. Even @ protective tariff is urged. Russia’ 4g speeding up its oll production and crowding Venezuela for second place in oil production.

It would reduce hundreds of thousands of them to the comparative position of the tenant-holders of old England and the former peasant of Rus- sia, Other untold numbers of farmers would be forced into other fields of endeavor because of an unwillingness to farm under masters who would take the bulk of whatever profit their efforts might produce.” Despite slow business conditions nearly 20 cents out of every dollar spent during 1929 in retail establish- ments went for automobiles or auto- motive products. The per capita ex- penditure was $78 as against an ex- penditure per person for food of $92. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

The Capitol Architect (Valley City Times-Record) The Capitol Commission, whose duty it is to select an architect to build the new two million dollar build- ing as provided for by legislative ac- tion, is having a heck of a time se- lecting the architect to do the job. There seems to be a wide difference of opinion as to whether it would be the right thing to do to select an ar- chitect of nationwide recognized abil- ity or take a chance on one of the state's own architects. Naturally all things being considered, we would like to see a local man selected, if one can be secured that will fill the bill effi- ciently and well, but in the building of that state capitol care must be taken to secure the very best in ar- chitectural supervision, and if the old secretary in a law MARK TRAVERS Marlboro, mid entern met » Norma declines to tell a date ‘vitations. old son has be Norma_ receive: from Travers She gocs for a Farrell and he te!

New York, Sept. 2.—The notion that hermits could stay hermits in the very midst of millions of people seems fantastic. And yet almost every year some hermit is ered in mid-Manhattan, as much a reclusc as any cave-dwelling old codger of the mountains. Frequently they are ei- derly men and women, slightly daft or deluded, who withdraw slowly from the great city and its crowds and finally become veritable self-made prisoners. Just the other day, the case of an) old woman came to light. She was living in a room in a Times Square hotel, and had turned completely recluse. Police finally managed to get her out. ‘ About @ year ago they discoverec an old fellow in a hotel room just off Herald Square. He had been a former musician, and was almost penniless. He would appear in the Streets and beg dimes. Then le would buy @ bottle of milk and a loaf of bread, return to his room and eat. He would feed the pigeons with the crumbs.
