SEVENTEEN STATES PAY NOTHING
-------O--
AcCording to a press story from Washington the federal
taxes need not worry North Dakota and some other states,
for we receive more money from the federal government
than we pay it.
This statement, which is undoubtedly true, shows that

are in good luck in this particular regard, it does !
ht or fair that 16 of the greater states should
pay 93 percent of the government's tax burden, while the
other two-thirds of the states pay but seven percent.
The rapid development of "federal direct aid" to the states
is f ougl t with much danger to the sovereignty of the indi-
vidual states, which, if allowed to develop as it has in the
past, is bound to de :,troy, or seriously cripple, state home
rule and substitute a centralized national government never
dreamed of by the framers of the constitution, who, know-
ing the past experience of evils thereof, strove to prevent
what we are now heading for.
We, as states, have con ented to, in most cases, this federal
encroachment on our sovereignty. Our greed will eventually

FOR HUMANITY'S SERVICE
------O-----
The entire western part of the state is fortunate in having
so splendldly administered and equipped a hospital as that of
St. Joseph at Dickinson. To properly balance this excellence
in material things and nursing service, the clinic of skillful
and surgeons who compose its staff stamp the
as one of the best in the country.
professional men and such an institution are an in-
to this part of the state, and to the faithful
sisters and skilled medical men we all owe a debt of grati-
tude, for, even though we may not need them at the moment,
none knows when their skill and services may be demanded.
So it is comforting to know that the best in hospitals and
medical aid is ready at all times for our needs.

L~IEATING OURSELVES
The story is tel4 of a dishonest
worker. He and his family were
roofless, whereupon a certain good
samaritan decided to surprise this
poor man with a comfortable home.
So, wthout telling his purpose, he
hired the builder at a fair wage to
build a house on a sunny hill, and
then went on business to a far-away
country. The builder was left at
work with no watchman but his own
honor: "Ha." said he in his heart.
"I can skimp the material and
scamp the work." So he went on
spinning out the time, putting in
~r service, poor nails, poor tim-
When the good Samaitan return-
ed, the builder said: "That's a fine
house I built on the hill." "Good,"
was the reply. "Go move your folks
into It at once for the house is yours. !
Here is the deed." The builder was
thunderstruck. He realized that,
instead of cheating his friend, he
had been ndustriously cheating him-
self when he did not know it was
b.is own house he was building.
That illustration reminds us viv-
idly of the predicament our voters
and taxpayers find themselves in to-
More Coffee for
day. They suffer under a burden
that has become almost unbearable.
They wail loud and long about the
burdens of taxation, w~teful and
foolish governmental expenditure,
graft and cheap politlca But are
they not criticising the house they
built themselves?
Back a short time~ ago when most
of us had more money than brains
and when we were drunk on the
power of the almighty dollar, we
openly voted for and supported can-
didates of a spendthrift character,
knowing when we did so that we
were "slipping in shoddy materials"

Washington.--Although Omen nor-
mally is one of the world's arid
countries, it now is suffering such
an acute dry spell that it wins a
place in the news headlines.
"Omen is the largest of the 'strl~,
countries' that frin;ze the southern
part of Arabia. with the sands of
the vast Arabian desert at their
back doors," says a I)ulletin from
the National Geographic society.
"The Portuguese, first Europeans
to land on the shore of Omen, oc-
cupied Muscat, the capital, in 1508,
but Omen still is one of the rail-
roadless nations of the world. Good
highways are rare and primitive
customs of pre-Portuguese days pre-
vat1,
"The 'garden of Omen,' a some-
whal fertile plot stretching along
the Gulf of ()man, ts cultivated with
crllde farmin~ implements. Camels
have no competition on the trade
rou~es of the interior; and among
the n,qtive tribes in the interior the
sultan's influence is scarcely felt.
Part of ~reat Empire.
"('~luan once W,'t ~ a p-lrt of a great
empire which spread over a larger
area of the Arabian peninsula than
It now occupies. Its sultans also
ruled a southern Persia and a strip
of the east c~ast of Africa. To-day
its 3"-slmped area ranges in width
from 30 to 2~0 miles• Its coast line,
tf straightened and placed on a
map of the Atlantic seaboard of the
United States, would stretch from
Boston harbor to Cape Hatteras.
"While its area is about twice
that of Ohio. its barren, sun-parched
hills thrust their tawny summits
above sandy deserts. Here and
there small plots in the valleys have
yielded to cultivation where primi-
tive irrigation systems have been in-
stalled.
"The remains of Rostak, ancient
inland capital and former chief com-
mercial eenter, recall the days wh'@n
the s6a was practically ignored by
Groan traders. The business eye
was focussed on the caravan routes
whence came the bulk of 0man
trade.
"Europeans literally made Mus-
cat. European ships sailing Into
the harbor of the new port laden
with merchandise caused Rostak
business men to about face from
the caravan routes and Muscat
slowly absorbed the old capital's
prestige.
Fictitious Reputation.
"Muscat, with 20,000 inhabitants,
now is the largest city In Omen and
has one of the finest harbors of the
Groan coast. But Its good commer-
cial reputation is somewhat ficti-
tious. The city is built under the
precipitous sides of a mountain
range and is unapproachable direct-
ly by caravan from the interior.
Muttrah, a mile and a half up the
coast, is the nearest point to Mus-
cat, which Is accessible to the in-
land traders, so this small town is
really the commercial distrlct of the
capital.
"Oman has only a half million in-
habitants. The natives of the in-
terior are largely nomads of pure
Arab stock, but in the coast towns
travelers rub elbows with individ-
uals of mixed blood. In Muscat
streets one frequently meets swar.
thy natives whose physical features
are a comhlnation of Arab and ne-
gro. They are the offsprings of
Arabs and former African slaves.
"Oman was occupied by the Por-
tuguese from 1508 to the mlddle of
the Seventeenth century when
Ahmed bin Sa'ced, a Yemenite
from the other side of the penlu-
sula, drove the Europeans out of
the country. Omen's government
now ts 'under the wing' of India
with which most of its trade is car-
ried on."

UNKEMPT HOOFS POINT TO
NEGLECT OF CATTLE HERD
Long hoofs, or hoofs that are
broken irregularly, are a good In-
dication that the cattle herd is not
getting the attention it deserves,
the opinion of E. J. Thompson,
chairman of the Agricultural college
animal husbandry department. Pro-
bably the main reason why the
hoofs are not kept trimmed is the -
s~ruggle put up by the animals
any work of this sort is attempted,
The following method of roping
cattle to permit the trimming of
their hoofs has ,proved effective
when s trimming rack is not avail-
able:
"Use a rope at leas~ 30 feet
length. Loop one end of the rope
around the neck of the cow or bull
Tie it to prevent it from sllppin~
and choking the animal as it is be.,
ing thrown. A slip hitch is
around the heart girth and a se-
cond one at the rear flank, one
man can hold the halter rope and
one or two can pull upon the end of
the rope .bey ond the $1ank high
which goes back over the
rump. As the rope tightens" on
rear girth, even the largest bull can
be pulled down, Once down,
animal c~n be tied and the hoot
trmuned. Either a wood chisel and
a mallet, or hoof pincers and a rasP¢
may be used."
Long or unkempt hoofs are
jectionable not alone for the
of appeaerance but are actually
serious handicap to the cattle
moving about.
