watched with interest. The indica-
lions in SO many shallow wells OF oil
and gas resemble in all outward
forms the early indications Of gas
and oil that manifested themselves
for so many years in southeastern
Kansas, which is now n of the
greatest oil fields i the world. There
as here for more than a quarter OF 3
century people lived and talked Of
"oil and gas" but did nothing to de-
velop it. Now that it has been de-
veloped they are asking n another
why they were so slow in finding our
the wealth beneath them. So in a
few years, will we marvel at our pro-
cr~astination in taking advantage IT
our natural resOurces.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
New Way of Using chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.

Mr.. Arthur Chapman writing from
Durham, Natal, South Africa, says
CAS- a proof that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a cure suitable for old
and young, l pen you the following:
A neighbor of mine had a child just
owl two months old. 1t had avery
bad cough and the parents did not
know what to give it.. l suggested
that if they would get a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
put some upon the dummy teat the
baby was sucking it would no doubt
cure the child. This they did and it,
brought about quick relief and cured
the baby" This remedy is for sale
by all druggists.

HIGH PRICED CANDIDATES.

Governor Higgins yea that his
campaign expenses were $22, 18S.
The salary is $4,000 a year, and
the governor will hold office long en-
ough t o earn $4,000.
1t may be all right for Mr.. Higgins
{ spend this amount OF money. He
gave $50. 900 to the Republican cam
paign committee. and the rest was
spent personally.
But IL Abraham Lincoln had been
compelled to furnish this noun of
money when running for President
he would have been forced to decline
the office.
It is q bad system that makes it
the custom for candidates for high

Perhaps you have never thought
of it, but the fact must be apparent
to every one that constipation Is
caused by a lack of water in the sys
TEN and the use of drastic cathar-
tics like the old fashioned pills only
makes a bad matter worse. Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets
are much more mild and gentle III
their effect, and when the proper dose
is taken their action is SO natural
that one can hardly realize it is the
effect of a medicine. Try a 25 cent

The writer returned Tuesday
from a short visit to his old
home Sterling, ILL.,, and found
the farmers fearfully worried
over a very late spring, perhaps
the latest spring ever known III
the State. Corn has been plant
ed generally in Illinois and Wis
consin, but not any Of it is out
of the ground. 1t is sprouting a
little. Seeding is generally done,
but the fields have not shown
any evidence of vegetation. The
grass is growing we'll and the
leaves have made their appear
ance. The apple, plum and
cherry trees appear beautiful IN
full bloom and there will be a big
crop. The grape vines were
nearly all killed by the severe
winter, as well as the clover. The
Usage hedges have been pretty
generally killed and the farmers
are not mourning over that fact.
The Illinois farmers, who are till
ing 1925 an acre farms would
do well to come to North Dakota
where they can raise just as
much grain and more with less
work on land which will sell for
ten and fifteen dollars an acre.
But the average Illinois farmer
belives that North Dakota is a
Great Sahara desert in the sum,
mer and a veritable Labrador in
the winter. His mind is set, he
is prejudiced and no power on
earth will ever be able to con
vince him that North Dakota is
the garden spot Of the United
States unless he comes here anC
sees for himself.

THE FARMERS FROM
THE NORTH TO MINOT.
The Ti!lers OF the Soil and Others Living
North OF Town may now drive into the
City Water has gone down and Pontoon
Bridge Made.

THE farmers from the north
should be happy and likewise the
merchants and Others OF this city
for the farmers from the north
can now drive into the city, the
first time Tuesday since the flood
of more than a month ago.
The reason is partially due to
the falling OF the water which
has been gradual for three weeks
or more, and partially on
account OF the pontoon bridge
about 300 feet in length which
the city ordered made from the
Red bridge north. The big
slough is now being drained by
several men plows and horses,
and soon the water on the north
road will drop, leaving the grade
high and dry.
The cutting off Of the north
trade has been very noticeable
in Minot, and has caused the
farmers a great deal OF incon-
venience. They were compelled
to either stay away or come to
town by means OF the railroad
bridge Of row over in boats.
Either Of these ways was very
unsatisfactory, for they were
compelled to do as little trading
as possible. The towns on the
Granville-Mohall branch reaped
a rich harvest during the food
but this is a thing Of the past
now. Minot merchants are offer.
ing every inducement to draw
trade here, realizing that we
need the trade OF every farmer il
this vicinity, and the Independ
ent guarantees to all courteous
treatment, and what is better
prices within the reach OF all.
The bridge was built at con
siderable expense, now use it.

A merchant from a nearby
town played a mean trick on the
Leland Department Store the
other day. He sent a farmer to
the store with AZ pounds Of but
ter for which he paid the farmers
in his locality 12115 cents and 10
cents a pound. AS is thecustom
with the AIinot merchants, the
store allowed the man % cents a
pound for the butter in trade,
thinking that some farmer was
selling his products. The fellow
took two sacks Of sugar and is
now retailing it about IA miles
east Of Minot on the Great North
ern. And still the small merch-
ants cry "Graft" at the Minot
merchants and many OF the far
mers take up the cry. There may
have been a time when the Minot
merchants did graft the farmers
but that day has passed. Far
mers! remember, that you get
nearly twice as much in trade fol
your products in Minot, as you
do at many other places.
