This year the consumer is having the
fact emphatically impressed upon him
that bushel of potatoes in North Da-
kota is worth as much and possibly a
little more than bushel OF No. Hard
wheat. Many farmers, however, do not
seem to appreciate the fact that po-
tatoes are big paying crop and that
North Dakota raises the finest potatoes
in the world.

There is probably not another county
in North Dakota of which so much can
be said as Cavalier county, which COW
ers an area of 1910 square miles. 1t
has a population of over $4,000, and its
soil is the most uniform of any county
in the state. 1t has over $50 public
schools, and no place in the Union af-
fords better facilities for the education
OF the young than Cavalier county. 1t
has a cement mine, which turns out the
finest grade of Portland cement. worth
thousands of dollars annually: it is hav-
ing installed a brick yard: it has coal
deposits within its borders: its live stock
industry is growing rapidly and car
loads of cattle and hogs are shipped out
every year, while only few years ago
not single head was exported. Its
soil is nicely adapted to the growing of
all kinds of root crops, especially po-
tatoes, whose size and flavor can't be
beaten anywhere in the world. The
Great Northern railroad traverses the
county from the southeast to the north
west, and has another line surveyed in
the southwest corner and which will be
built this year. At present land can be
bought for less price than a single
years crop will bring. Land has risen
from practically no value at all to it's
present price in the past twelve years.

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 11.--District Attorney Lichtenwalner has decided to abandon the indictment of murder against Mrs. Catherine Bechtel, moth CT of Mabel Bechtel, who was killed last October. The aged woman will be tried with her children Myrtha, John and Charles on the charge of being an accessory after the fact. Aloise Eckstein, Mabel Bechtel's suit or, will be brought to trial last, and David Weisenberg, who was also atten. i've to the young woman, will be the first to face the jury.
 ''Weisenberg," said the district at torney, twill be tried first and acquit- ted so that he may qualify as a com petent witness. The importance of this movement is obvious. It may seem unjust to have man indicted on serious charge. tried and acquitted, simply to wiring from him what he knows of a certain case.

BARTENDERS ACTIVE.
Two Delegates Requested to Attend
 Labor Union Meeting To-Night.

In all probability there will be many things doing down at the meeting of the Central Labor union tonight It will be rememb cred that some time ago two of the representa- of the Bar tenders union who attended meet ing of the central body were not given as good treatment as they believed they deserved In fact, one of the two was ordered from the meeting, and 1t Is said some force was used in expell- ing him from the body. Since that limo the bartenders have not made any ex- tra efforts to be represented in the cen- tral body, but late developments have caused the members of the Bartenders' union to feel that they should be repre- sented at the meetings and to that end action was taken yesterday.
 The meeting of the Bartenders' union was one of the largest that has been held and, according to what in formation could be gleaned from that meeting. the session was red hot one and the Central Labor union came in for share of the criticism. It was voted and the motion was carried en- thusiastically that two representatives Of the union attend the meeting of the Central Labor bouy, which takes place tonight and at that meeting state what grievances they had and demand better recognition than they have been receiving from the central body. There were a whole lot more things doing at that meeting relative to labor and the position held by the Bartenders' union in the central body, and all those things will be aired at the maating to- night.

Talks About Countries He Visited and Lack of Leg

New York, Jan 11.-In an article
 upon his tour of Europe, published in
 the American to-day, w. J. Bryan dis
 cusses his impressions of Switzerland and comments upon the lack of accom-
 modations for the United States em-
 bassies and legations in all the capitals
 he visited. It Is stated that he intends to appear before the committees of
 congress and plead in favor of legis-
 lation looking to the purchase of suita-
 ble property for our important posts

 cities of Europe Is not only impossible

 suitable for our embassy, but it is
 often difficult to secure properly
 convenient location at any price.
 Ut is scarcely democratic to place
 upon an official an expense so great as
 to preclude the appointment of a man
 of moderate means; nor does 1t com
 port with the dignity of our nation
 to make the choice of an ambassador1al or ministerial residence dependent upon
 chance and circumstance. Our repre-
 sentatives in Europe are conspicuous
 in the diplomatic circle at court func- tions because of their modest attire, but 1t is not necessary that our ambassadors and ministers homes should be on wheels in order to be democratic. l believe that our government ought to inaugurate q new policy 1n this mat ter and build in the chief capitals of foreign nations. on land convenient to the foreign offices. buildings suitable in every way for the residences and offices of our diplomatic representa- tives.
