From the Telephene Directory
Whenever a wrong number is given to the
telephone operator, your time is wasted, your
service is delayed and its value decreased, and
the party called is uselessly annoyed.
Quite often a personal telephone list, not
kept up-to-date, furnishes a wrong number, or
a hasty glance at the directory results in a call
for the number on the line below or above the
one wanted.
The largest number of errors result from de
pendence upon memory. Frequently 4-5-6 is
called for when 5-4-6 is wanted. If you are in
doubt about a telephone number, please look it
up in the directory.
Please Speak distinctly
Not talking directly into the transmitter,
not speaking clearly, or calling your number too
rapidly, frequently causes the operator to mis
understand.
If you acknowledge the operator's repetition
of the number and correct her if she repeats it
incorrectly, many misdirected calls will be pre
vented.
If you speak in an ordinary tone of voice,
giving the desired number slowly and distinctly,
after looking it up in the directory, you may be
surprised how it will improve your telephone
service.

Nagging Wife a Handicap.
"I have seen more men fail in bust*
ness through the uttitude taken by
their wives in their younger days than
from ull the vices put together. A
nagging wife, or one who is not in
sympathy with a man's Kprk, who ex
pects impossible things of him, and is
incapable of taking a general intelli
gent interest in his work, is one of the
worst handicaps he could have. If a
man works with his mind clogged by
domestic troubles he is of no use to
bilnself, his employer or the world at
large."—Charles M. Schwab.
Angularity Must Be Rubbed Off.
The pebble in the brook grows rounc
and smooth because it is constantly
rubbing against the rock and sand*
nnd others of its kind. So it is with
life. Most of us have that which must
be rubbed off. We are angulur Ir
Ideas as well as conduct. Taking the
tingles off is a humiliating process, anc
most people rebel before it rightly be
tfins. To bring out the luster of th
diamoi'1 ir has to he cut. That, too, is
a tedious process. And so must it b(
with you if you are to be sym

TEST OF THE "WELL READ"
One Qualifying for This Title Is Net
Necessarily of the Book
worm Type.
Persons who like to think that they
are entitled to be classified as "well
read" ought to check up on themselves
every once in a while, because the re
quirements are constantly increasing,
and the well-read man of a few years
ago is the back number of today. Once
there was a time when a fair degree
of intimacy with Shakespeare and the
Bible was the only requirement, but
that is not the case any more.
For checking up purposes an admir
able document is the examination for
prospective library workers given in
this city recently, says the Spokane
Review. Anybody who can answer
correctly all the questions in that ex
amination would be indisputably well
read. A few errors might be allowed,
but not many, for it is a fair exami
nation and a comprehensive one. One
is supposed to know at least one name,
of author or work, from tiie great lit
eratures froin the Hindu to modern
times. One name from each period
ought to stick to the least retentive
memory. One ought aiso to be able to
name the authors of a selected list ol
familiar works, even though the list
takes in representatives from "Gul
liver's Travels" to "Man and Super
man."
To drive home the Idea that the well
read mind is not necessarily the book
worm type the literary examination
reaches into the field of general infor
mation and takes in vers libre, femi
nism, watchful waiting, the city man
ager plan, "somewhere in France," di
rect primaries, Colonia Dublan. single
tax, aviation, Verdun, submarine war
fare, genre painting and Steptoe butte.
How many of the "well read" could
pass the examination? The percent
age of failures probably would be SUP
prising, even to the particivant«.

WHAT PEOPLE IN TOWN
CAN DO
Commercial Clubs, or other
leaders who desires to aid in get
ting- gardens started in villages,
towns and cities and to interest
the above mentioned residents in
poultry should lose no time in
starting action. Line up all of
the vacant lots ami do not use
those with poor soil or that are
poorly drain-id. Estimate the
number needed by canvassing the
situation and plow, harrow and
put lots into shape for the gard
eners collectively or wholesale
and as cheaply as possible. Locate
suitable seed and buy it right in
point of .kind, quality and price.
Use ingenuity and business judg
ment for them, guide them as
much as you can and begin now.
Spring is here and gardens are
being planted.
Interest them in poultry. The
towns and villages of North Dak
ota can nearly supply themselves
with poultry products if ihey will
try. Arrange lo supply them
with day old chicks. Chicks
will cost from $12.00 to $25.00 pet
hundred laid down at your ex
press office, the price varying ae
cording to the breed and quality.
Have them get. a broody hen for
each twenty chicks. by this
lime of year broody hens are
plentiful. They can easily he
boiiahl from farm folks with
whom they are more or less 10 a
nusiance. You will lose time
and they will make many fail
ures if they try to start in chick
ens by hatching
eggs
or using
artificial brooders. Feed is ex
pensive and the childr-n should
be encouraged to make full use of
table scraps from their own
homes and from any others that
do not keep poultry.
It is not too early to think a
bout what disposition will be
made of the crop produced in the
garden. Canning dubs to put up
the excess vegetables, so that
they can be used in the winter,
will be an excellent added feat
ure. Directions can be had by
applying to the Apr. Ex. Dept. of
the Agr. College and probably an
expert can be secured to show
those interested how to success
fully can vegetables. It has
been suggested to me that these
local canned products may he
handled and sold from grocery
stores and (litis release the com
mercial canned goods for the
army. Information on what to
plant and how to plant it can be
obtained from the Agricultural
Extension Department of Agr.
College. North Dakota.—J. H.

MONEY WE SPEND BUT
NEVER SEE
The recent declaration by Sec.
of Agriculture Houston that Am
erica wastes $700,000,(100 an
nually in the kitchen has hrot
a sudden shock to thos of us
who have looked upon the work
of the statistician tolerantly as
the harmless but sadly misguid
ed labor of the crank. Yet there
is considerable food for tln.it
in the assertion. What is North
Dakota's share. Having pro
pounded the question, let us sit
back, dear reader, and weighing
Ihi» facts, find the answer.
Immediately enter a never
labyrinth of facts and conditions
in which the kitchen waste, ofi
which, according to population. 1
North Dakota share is over'
$'#.000,000. is a bagatelle. The'
Trunk highway of the state,
5
to lo per cent of the tolai mil
eage but carrying at least
75
to 1
90 per cent of the total traffic
cost North Dakota iu poor roadi
tax, according to recent, survey,
over $5,000,00(1. I
The weed tax is another little'
luxury we as North Dakotans
seem unable to do with out. It
costs us an average of nearly
$50,000 per county, or a total of:
approximately $2,.'{00,000. to
pamper this little foible.
fungous diseases of grains
formerly demanded a tribute!
each year of $2.00(1.noil to $lt',._
000.000, according to the viru-i
lency of the epidemic. In later I
years the Loid has gifted us with
a reasonable degree of business 1
acumen, so that this total has
been appreciably decreased by
preventative measures. With the
present valuation placed on
mi
bushel of wheal, a little slip
from the path of Grace will cost
North Dakota this year. from
figures based on average smut,
attacks iu the past, the paltry
sum of $23,000,000. Probably
the greatest drain 011 North Dakl
ota comes from single croppage,
whic'tf is a polite name for soil
robbery: iiiipropi.fr cultivation
absolute watauc of items uliliz
ed by old country agriculturists
neglect in livestock expansion as
an agricultural asset, and a
combination of all four.
Let 11s begin to use North
Dakota soil, air and sunshine,
and above all. a liberal applica
tion of North Dakota brains, af
ter the fashion intended by Nat
ure and using them, build to
further security North Dakota's
prestige as the Bread Basket of
America.

1 WORDS OF WISE MEN
The world Is a wheel, and It
will conie round all right.
Covetousness and love of quar
reling are dangerous dispositions
even in children, and deadly dis
positions in men and nations.
Never let your mirth, jubila
tion or pleasures dull your sym
pathy for the sorrow, suffering,
sickness of indigence of other
people.
You find yourself refreshed by
the presence of cheerful people.
Why not make earnest effort to
confer that pleasure on others?
Some people are so much oc
cupied in going about doing good
to others that they have no time
to become good themselves.
