TO BENEFIT FARMERS.
Organization Proposed Which Will
Greatly Simplify Many Annoying
g 4t Questions.

Greatly Simplify Many Annoying
Questions.
A prominent farmer called at
the Inter Ocean this week and
made a suggestion which We think
is a good one and which it is sur
prising the farmers have not fol-
lowed out long ago. One of the
problems which often gives an
noyance to the farmers of this
section is that of help. There are
seasons in the year when there is
a brisk demand for help, and one
of those seasons is fast approach
ing-in fact it is right here now.
The suggestion has been made
that the farmers get together and
form an association with a head in
Devils Lake or some central point
for the purpose of procuring help
more rapidly and with less trouble
than at present. For instance
each member who desires help will
leave a description of what he
wants at headquarters. Laborers
will go to headquarters for employ
ment and if they fill the bill will
be assigned to some member. If
there should be a shortage of help
the exact amount Of the shortage
can be easily ascertained and
orders sent outside the county for
more laborers, and thus avoid get
ting in a surplus.
A uniform scale of wages is
another thing the association
could take up. There has been
much difficulty in retaining help
for the reason hat neighbors offer
a higher price than some certain
hand is receiving, although he was
being paid all he asked. There
are a number of other matters the
farmers could take up and agree
upon and save themselves much
trouble and expense. Talk the
matter over with your neighbor:
some one call a meeting and all
turn out and then have an ex.
change of ideas.
Who will start the ball rolling!

IF you have made up your mind
what spring machinery you will
need, place your order atonce.' If
you delay you will not be able to
get just what you like best. In
buying machinery it is very good
idea to get only goods that are
strictly up to the highest standard
of excellence and established re-
putation. While the first cost
may be a little higher, they are
cheaper in the end. Another i'm
portant consideration is the fact
that you can always get repairs.
You pay your interest coupons

son Erastus. Tuesday morning
Erastus and wife left for Devils
Lake, leaving the old gentleman
in his usual health, and he was
working about the barn looking
after the chores. When they re-
turned home in the evening they
found Mr.. Cunningham in the
barn apparently having dropped
dead while cleaning the barn. He
was an active old gentleman and
had a host of friends in this vici-
nifty who will mourn his sudden
death. The funeral was held in
the Congregational church at this
place Thursday, and was largely
attended. Rev. T. D. Jenkens
preached the funeral sermon, after
which the remains were conveyed
to the depot and were shipped to
his old home in Indiana for burial.

This section is being worked by
a large number of smooth gentle

there are two of these gentlemen
working in the vicinity of Crary.
Now, it seems to US that the farm
ers in this vicinity have been skin
ned too many times by these fake
hail insurance companies to bite
this year, but there are always
suckers, and there is no doubt but
what the men representing this
company are looking for them.
There has been no Mutual Hail in.
surance company that ever did
business in this part of,the country
that ever pretended to pay their
losses, but they have skinned the
farmers out Of a nice sum. We
desire to warn the farmers to look
out for these smooth fakirs and
have nothing to do with them, for
the probabilities are that if you
do you will have cause to regret it.

public school system may be es-
tablisbed in any commonwealth either
through the direct intervention of some
outside power as in the case of the
schools which the United States has
planted in Cuba and the Philippines, or
through intelligent sentiment directed by
the educated leaders of the communi-
ty. 1t can never spring from a demand
on the part of the ignorant themselves,
for they lack the wisdom to realize their
needs and to carry out the movement.
The structure of our government renders
it necessary that all such development
should come from within the States
Hence it was that the educational fabric
of this State was of necessity begun DIT
the top. Educational leaders were to be
manufactured out of material coming
from the few private schools and the
great lesson learned that the wealth or
a State lay in its educated manhood and
so an intelligent sentiment fostered IN
favor of common schools.
One hundred and seven years ago the
University began its work of developing
men for the higher public service of
the State. It's long roll of trained citi-
zens shows how gloriously the mission
was performed. Let any one who ques-
tions the value of the service of the
University to the State strike out of her
history the twenty-nine Governors, one
hundred and five Judges, seventeen Sena-
tors, sixty-six Representatives, SIX hun
