kerosene furnished by the Standard
Oil Company is of mighty poor
quality. We don't make this state
ment because every other newspaper
in the state is saying SO, but because
it is so. 1t would be brilliant
scheme for the oil inspector to in.
spect some of the oil that comes into
the state and let some one else in

a market in eastern cities for the
farm products of North Dakota is
one of the objects which those who
advocate the formation of a State
Business Mems Union have in view.

Leader.-B. B. Brown, who lives
north of Ellendale saved his straw
last season and has been selling it
for 50 per ton. Up to this date he
has sold over $50 worth. Now there
is an old idea new in North Dakota,
that every farmer should dwell upon.
OF course one cannot expect to find a
profitable market like the one this
winter has been, but The straw is just
as valuable for feed on the farm.
Carefully stack the straw for feed.
