CHEAP NOTORIETY.
A newspaper In one of the great
eitles of this country ha* issued an ap
peal for an international effort for
peace, and this appeal has been sent
broadcast, copies being addressed to
high dignitaries in the warring coun
tries, to our own statesmen, to pub
lic men everyhere, and to the press.
The co-operation of the press espe
cially Is invited and urged. The hor
.' iwt of the war are set forth, and the
manifest desirability of peace, and the
newspaper sets itself forth as the
great apostle of peace and goodwill.
The paper which is doing all this is
one of a string of papers owned by
the same man, and perhaps the one
thing above all others which has char
acterized those papers, not at odd
times, but all the time, has been their
effort to set nation against nation,
faotlon against faction, class against
class, and to inspire mon everywhere
with the spirit of hate and suspicion.
For two or three years these papers
have urged upon this country armed
Intervention in Mexico. In season
and out of season they have exag
gerated the facts and distorted the
truth, to th# one end that there should
be created in this country a condition
of public sentiment which would
force our government to s»nJ armed
men Into Mexico.
The present program of this one
paper is one of the most audacious
and impudent that any of that prec
ious combination has yet undertaken.
Scores, hundreds of the men and
newcpttpars to whom its present ap
peal Is addressed have labored hard
and consistently for years to aid in
bringing about a condition of public
sentiment which would make war im
possible. In this work, which they
have undertaken and pursued without
hope of reward other than the con
sciousness of having aided in a. wor
thy work, they have met many ob
stacles. Not the least of these has been
the jingoistic caterwauling of just
such papers as the one which now
poses as the leader in a great world
peace movement. And the irony of
the situation that a number of good
people are patting the insufferable
hypocrite on the back for its excel
lent work!
CLEAN METJK KCONOMICAI/.
There has been in the past much
indfference on the part of consumers
with respect to the cleanliness of
milk too many of them desire to buy
milk at a low price and do not give
any consideration, to quality. Dirty
milk may prove expensive as a gift,
•while clean milk may be economical
even at a high price the cheapest ar
ticle 13 often the most expensive. A
higher price for clean milk may be
cheap insurance against some form
of sickness.
In a recent. Farmers' Bulletin (No.
602) the United States department of
agriculture has outlined the main fac
tors that should go to favor the pro
duction of clean, safe milk. These
include clean, healthy cWs kept In
light, well-ventilated stables that may
be easily cleaned a well-drained barn
yard thoroughly sterilized utensils,
and healthy milkers that milk with
dry hands: a small-top milking pail
a separate house for handling the
milk an abundant supply of pure wa
ter. The temperature al which the
milk is kept is also an important fea
ture, as bacteria multiply very rapidly
when the temperature is above BO de
grees F. The milk should be cooled
Immediately after milking, to 50 de
grees F. or lower, and stored, until de
livered, at a low temperature.
An increasing demand for good,
y. clean milk among consumers is a
gratifying indication that there is a
more general realization of the lm
portance of this item. This demand
ha* resulted in more stringent reguja
j|./ tions concerning the sanitary condi
«ons associated with the milk sup-'
||?Sf Ply- Compliance with these sanitary
rules requires additional care, atten
WW tlon. and extra expense on the part
fj J|$?: of the producer of the milk, and while
•§|gi this expense may not be large, it is
only fair that the consumer should
pay his share of the cost of improv
ing the quality of the milk. The con
si sumer can not expect to purchase a
clean, safe milk at the same price as
a dirty milk which endangers the
health of his family.
A more serious consideration is the
marked increase in the cost of pro
Auction which has resulted in recent
years from feed and labor problems.
This Increase is in keeping with the
increase in the cost of'every com
7 modity, and the consumer must ex
pect to pay his portion of any legitl
irjate increase in the cost of produc
tiOn occasioned by these conditions.
..On the other hand there is need

profitable. The profits yielded by a
good cow often go to offset losses
caused by poor cows in the same
stable. The keeping of records of
production of each individual In the
herd, the elimination of unprofitable
cows, the impro\'ement of the herd
through selection of the best produc
ers and breeding them to a bulj of
dairy merit, and the selection of the
best heifers from such breeding are
necessary to put milk production on
a sound basis. Unless the producer
does these things he disregards the
fundamental principles of business
economy, and it is unreasonable for
such a man to expect the consumer
to pay him a profit on business prac
tices which represent such economic
waste. There is no good excuse for
slack business methods on the dairy
farm. Directions for keeping records
of milk yields and cost of production
are furnished by every state agricul
tural college and by the United States
department of agriculture.

COMMONPLACE.
"This is a- common place," sniffed
Lilly Grant. She was sitting on the
steps of her home. Within, her
mother was frying fish for supper.
Without, a sky that had shed the
gaudy blue of day and slipped into
twilight's gray negligee seemed' to
radiate peace and happiness. Some
people might have enjoyed the com
bination, for the flsh were fragrantly
enticing, but Harvey Buckrum
scowled, and the scowl was of the va
riety called sullen.
Lilly added a scowl to her sniff.
Her scowld was the kind known as
petulaut. She looked disparagingly at
Harvey's long, shabby figure and
tanned face. No man cares to be
looked at disparagingly by the girl to
whom he has been engaged for many
years: ever since he and she were in
the seventh grade at school.
"Oh, I don't know!" he sneered.
"Just because we don't wear socks
that match our ties
"Scarves." Lilly corrected patron
izingly. It infuriated Harvey, that
correction. "Oh, you don't have to
make it any plainer," he snapped. "1
don't need a brick house to fall on
me I'm a plain rube, and Mr. Rapp,
the new cashier of Coville's new
bank," mincingly, "is just the kind you
read about in magazines. Good-by!"
Then Mr. Buckrun tragically stalked
across the road to the shabby, white
house where his mother was broiling
steak.
Lilly leaned her chin in her palm
and watched him. He slammed the
door. "I'm sorry he takes it this
way,'' she murmured sadly. "But,"
pensively, "I'm glad it's over." Then
she hurried inside to eat supper—and
plenty, for she was hungry—before
Mr. Rapp called.
"What wag Harvey saying?" her
mother asked casually. "He talked
so loud
"We're through," said Lilly briefly.
"Lilly!"
"He's commonplace," crossly, "and
so's this town. I wish I had better
clothes."
After supper Lilly's discontent van
ished, and in the weeks that followed
she ignored Harvey's sullen glances.
The other girls envied her. Charley

figure that calls for the sun. Lilly

Of course he couldn't help being rais

The Evening Story 4
They were downtown in the corner
drug store and she was enjoying her
favorite food, ice cream and nuts.
But she pushed the plate back. "I
have to hurry home," she said coldly.
"It is after 9 o'clock."
"Why, that isn't late," he said, "but
I don't mind. I promised Sis I'd get
back to her early."
Lilly's eyes snapped. It was new—
to be relegated to the rear for a sis
ter. She went home, ripped up her
newest dress, a pink striped voile, and
tried to recut the skirt so that it re
eembled one of Lois Rapp's. She
spoiled it.
The next day Edna, her best friend,
came rushing in to, tell her—"Would
you believe it? Harry Buckrun had
Lois Rapp out riding last night!"
Lilly didn't believe it, and said so.
It was an improbable a sthat straw
berries should ripen in November—
for Lois Rapp to see anything in Har
vey. And five minutes later she saw
them together. They were in the cor
ner drug store—the town had only
two—and Harvey was buying her a
maple sundae.
Lilly had gone in to buy some qui
nine for her mother. Manifestly it
would have been silly to walk out be
cause Harvey Buckrun—in whom she
positively' felt no Interest—was sit
ting there talking to Lois Rapp. Edrta'
accompanied her. Lilly wished ir
ritably that Edna wouldn't stare at
them so! Edna had no idea of pro
priety!
Hiss Rapp bowed carelessly to
them. Edna bowed carelessly Har
vey nodded also carelessly. Lilly
was amazed. How could he' appear
•so unconcerned Really, any one
would think that he never had cared
for her. Not that she cared, of
course
"I don't see, though," Lois Rapp
said, her shrill, rather sweet voice
came clearly across the narrow store,
"how a man of your ability can be
satisfied in this commonplace en
vironment. And the people here-!—"
She lowered her voice, throwing a lit
tle smiling glance over her shoulder.
"What did she say?" Edna inquired.
"Gracious, Edna!" snapped Lilly.
"I don't go around listening to other
folks' talk. The idea! To make him
think she thinks he.is somebody!"
"Gee!" giggled l£dna. Isn't it
funny? You threw him over for her
brother, and maybe if she'd come
first he would have thrown you
over
"Nonsense!" flashed Lilly. "My.
how slow that clerk^s! I shan't trade
here again. I'm sure," haughtily,
"that she's welcome to Harvey. He's
nothing to me."
"Of course not," soothed Edna,
friendly. "It's just funny."
"I don't see anything funny," cross
ly. Edna was silent. Lilly, in the
swinging reflection of the glass door
saw that Harvey's shoulder was so

close to the girl's pink linen one that
it touched. "The idea!" coldly. "I
really think that girl isn't nice."
As the days went on, Lilly was
amazed, for Lois Rapp and Harvey
were constantly together. Somehow
Harvey's sullenness had completely
vanished and Lois did not seem to
care that his clothes were ready made
and his hands unmanicured. She
made no secret of the fact that she
enjoyed his company. She lengthened
her visit from three weeks to two
months, to ten weeks.
"She must like the place," said
Lilly to her brother.
"I guess she does," significantly.
"He's a nice chap in his way,"- pat
ronizingly. "But I don't understand
Lois falling for any one here."
"Oh, don't you?" crossly. Lilly had
come to be cross nearly all the time
and to nearl yeverybody, and she
copied Miss Rapp's own supercilious
ness of expression as she looked up
and down Mr. Rapp's natty figure,
from his parted black hair to his
dazzling patent shoes. Her glance
lingered longest on his nose. She
suddenly discovered that it was a
turned up, patronizing, offensive fea
ture. She remembered that Harvey
had a kindly nose. And then she re
membered that Harvey and she were
"through.'4 Lilly rose. She and Mr.
Rapp were seated on the steps of the
cottage. "And I suppose she can't
understand your falling for"—mim
icking—"any one. here!. Good-by."
She walked into the house.
"She'd be my sister-in-law," she
told herself, "and Harvey. would be
my brother-in-law!" Somehow the re
lationship seemed immoral!
Mr. Rapp, offended,, went away.
Lilly came out then and walked down
to- the gate. Across the street a light
burned in the hall of the Buckrun
home. That was indication that Har
vey wasn't home yet. Doubtless he
was on the veranda

kind that made otner girls discon

her brother. Moreover, she was not
kind to girls. She was supercilious
and almost rude, and she did not pre

superior in looks, clothes, and that
state of mind which some people call
savoir falre. and others call egotism.
Lilly felt small an (J, countrified be

"I have some sister, haven't I?"
blandly inquired her brother.
Lilly wanted to say that bragging
was not in good taste, but she mur
mured a polite assent.
"I guess this town never saw any
one quite like her," he puffed.
Well, Lilly knew thai the town
hadn't but he' would better have let
some one else say It. She retorted
coldly "Maybe not. We are a com

"That's right." agreed Mr. Rapp,

Thornton—When Willie Wimpus
wanted a new automobile he thought
he would throw out a broad hint to his
father.
Rosemary Did the scheme
work?
Thornton—Not exactly. He told
the old gentleman he would like some
thing he could start and stop, and his
father bought him a dollar watch.
A traveller bought a ticket and then,
going out on the platform, said:
"How soon does the train start?"
"Why, there she- goes now," said a
porter. "You've just missed her."
The traveller kept on the line and
set out in pursuit of the train with all
his might. But in two or three min
utes he came trudging back.
A laughing crowd had gathered and
the porter said:
"Well, did you catch her?"
"No," said the traveller, "but, by
jingo, I made her puff."
"I don't quite see the point of that
remark of yours," said. Mr. Skinner,
the grocer, as he tied up the package
of sugar.
"What remark was that?" asked
the customer.
"You just remarked that some men
had an offhand way of doing thinge.
And you wished I was one."
"Yes I wished to remind you that
your hand was on the sugar when you
weighed it."
The usual large crowd gathered at
Madison and Dearborn streets wait
ing for trolley cars. An elderly lady,
red in the face, flustered and fussy,
dug her elbows into convenient r|bs.
A man on her left was the recipi
ent of a particularly vicious jab.
"Say!" she yelled at him."
He winced slightly and moved to
one side.
She, too, sidestepped and thumped
him vigorously on the back.
"Say!" she peristed, "does it make
any difference which of these cars I
take to Graceland Cemetery?"
"Not to me, madam," he answered
slipping through an opening in the
crowd.

Gov. Hanna Receives Let
er from Christiania Thank
ing Citizens of the State.
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 20.—Gover
nor L. B. Hanna is in receipt of a doc
ument from the president of the house
of parliament at Christiania, Norway,
which is reproduced herewith to show
the appreciation on the part of the
people of Norway for the Lincoln
statue which was presented to the
Norwegian people through the gover
nor on July 4-
It is a neat appreciation of Gover
nor Hanna, a tribute' to President Lin
coln and reveals the bond of friend
ship which exists and is made al! the
more solid between the people of Nor
way and North Dakota through this
gift.
The letter is written on a large royal
folio of gilt-edged paper, the pen
manship of which is perfect, and has
all the appearance of an official docu
ment from royalty.' It is highly ap
preciated by the governor.
The letter follows:
Honorable Governor Hanna, Dear
Sir: The Norwegian parliament
(Stortinget) has authorized me to con
vey to you and through you to the
people of North Dakota our heartiest
and sincerest appreciation and thanke
from the people of Norway for the
beautiful memorial of President Lin
coln and the sympathetic addresses
which were delivered to us on July 4
by you.
The monument of the great Ameri
can who ranks amongst the grandest
men that history has ever produced
and who has always been admired and
honored in this country, will be a sym
bol for the confidence and sympathy
prevailing between the Kingdom of
Norway and the state of North Dako
ta, which state counts so many Nor
wegians among its citizens.
Christiania, July 22, 1914.
—J. Lovland.
President.
Where Is It?
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Give me the land of pure delight
That knows no bourid'ry fence
Where wardogs neither bark nor bite,
And censors never cense.

NO DECISION
Nothing Done in Connection With
Animal Husbandry for Govern
ment Station.
Mandan, N. D., Aug. 20.—An effort
to reach some sort of a definite de
cision in the matter of animal hus
bandry in connection with the local
federal experiment station came to
naught. Dr. E. C. Chilcot, govern
ment official in charge of the station,
was to have stopped at Falrgo on his
return to Washington, D. C., after an
official visit of a few days here, .but
Thomas Cooper, in charge of the state
experiment work and head of such de
partments as that of animal hus
bandry, will be here, was called but
of the city and the conference had
to be postponed. It likely will be
some months before Dr. Chilcot gets
up here again, but no hopes were en
tertained of getting the work started
before next year any way.
It is very likely the matter of es
tablishing a state livestock experi
ment station in connection with the
federal station here will be before
the legislature this winter, as will that
6f establishing a branch agricultural
sch6ol here. a
