There is no state in the union
which has furnished SO many far
mer visitors for the St. Louis fair
as North Dakota,says the Devils
Lake Inter- Ocean. There is no
other state which sends so many
people from the rural population
on winter excursions to southern
climes or on pleasure trips to
Europe. All this is because the
soil of North Dakota is making it's
owners Millionaires and enabling
them to spend the grearter portion
of their time in leisure and travel.
1t is the greatest country in the
world for the farmer to get rich in.

That sprighly youth, Gen. Wash
burn, has been telling how many
times he has voted for President.
But Mr.. B. s. Russell, of James
town. for whom all good Republic
ans in this state voted couple Of
weeks ago for presidential elector,
goes the Minnesota gentleman one
better. Mr.. Russell says he voted
first in 1884 for Henry Clay for
president, and has voted for presi-
dent ever since except in 1880 and
1884, when as a resident of the ter
ritory Of North Dakota, he was not
permitted to vote on national ques-
tions. Mr.. Russell says he remem-
bers we'll the election of 1928. He
expresses the hope that Gen. Wash
burn will vote at every presidential
election, including that of 1924,
when in age he will be above par"
After that Mr.. Russell says it would
not be kindness to wish him a
longer absence from paradise

THE HERD LAW.

Tie herd law makes it legal for
stock to run at large from Decem-
Der 1st to April LIST, and all hay
and other property must be pro-
tected with a legal fence to sustain
an action for damages. A legal
fence is made of substantial posts
not further apart than 32 feet, with
two substantial stays between posts
and three wires, the top one at least
AZ inches above the general level

PUMP IRRIGATION.

The idea of irrigating lands by
pumps is an innovation in the
United States, but expert engi-
neers say that it is feasible.
Mr.. Newell, accompanied by a.
81. Storrs, an electrical and me-
chanical expert, found that, altho'
there are difficulties in the way, at
least start can be made in irri-
cation by the pumping system. It
is understood that he reported to
the department that, while in many
places the fall of land is not suffi-
cient to allow the water to be con-
veyed in bitches, there are sections
where this can be done, and he rec
ommends that the plan be tried. If
the system works satisfactorily at
Buford, Trenton and Bismarck, it
will undoubtedly be extended
throughout the arid regions of the
west.
"The beginning which the gov
ernment is making in irrigation in
North Dakota means much for the
Twin Cities and the northwest"
said a prominent business man at
the Merchants Hotel yesterday.
1T means that 100000 or 9,0OO,-
4 OO5 acres of semi-arid land which
is now practically worthless will be
opened to settlement. Hundreds
OF thousands of families will move
into that state when complete
system of irrigation is in opera
ton. It is merely question of
time. The government has the
, funds, amounting to many millions
of dollars; the soil of North Dako-
| ia is the finest in the world; there
is an abundance of fuel to be OBJ
tanned at a nominal cost; all we
need is water from the Missouri
river.-Forum.

From a real estate mans stand
point, the prospects for next years
business could not be better. The
recent excellent showing made by
the banks tells more than words
in regard to the financial condition
of our citizens, and with the earn
ing which the farmers have made
this year, they have caused a con-
dition in business here which has
never before been equalled. These
facts in conjunction with the ad-
vertising which the whole north.
west will receive next year, in con-
nection with the Lewis and Clark
exposition which will be keld in
Portland, will attracta monied class
of people who will pass this way,
to inquire into our advantages and
resources. Many Of these people,
if they ever have given our portion
of the state a thought, have proba-
bly, pictured us as having to fight
battles with snow drifts most of
the year and the rest of the time
grazing for Indians over a barren
and bleak prairie. These people
will meet with a surprise. They
will find the towns along the rail-
road busily engaged in erecting
new and substantial buildings, and
in making other improvements
which even old eastern towns have
not attempted. Elevators and mills
galore will greet them and a happy
and contented class of people will
be seen. They will see the farms
and farm-houses along the way and
they will seek information. Many
of them who are anxiously looking
for investments for their money
will become interested and upon
being told of the opportunities
here and after having chance
to. se6 them, they will certainly
carry home tales Of this country
which will lead many to cast their
eyes this way with the idea of To-

Quarantine
Regulations
The Order Regarding Shipments
Again in Force After an
Extended Suspension

The order made by the chief Of
the U. S. Bureau of Animal Indus
try last August which practically
removed the quarantine on North
Dakota cattle, will cease to operate
Dec. 1st. The result Of this will
be that shippers will be compelled
to consign to some point where
federal inspectors are stationed and
where dipping tanks are located,
so that if cattle are not sold for
slaughtering, they may be dipped
and sold as feeders.
The order which will operate
after the first of the month, pro-
vides that all cattle found free from
infection after inspection may be
shipped out of the state for slaugh-
tering purposes but may not be
sold as feeders without first being
dipped under federal supervision,
once if just exposed cattle, and
twice if infected.
Since the federal quarantine on
cattle from the states of North and
South Dakota and Montana, dip
ping tanks have been built at all
of the shipping centers and the in
convenience to cattle men now will
not be as great as several months
ago when dipping tanks we're To-
Gated in a few of the centers.

of it. The Canadian Government

excellent. The elevation of this part
Of Canada is about 1900 feet above
the sea, about twice that Of the aver

bic altitude. The country has a very
equable climate, taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright, and
the summers are pleasantly warm. r.

Moisture is ample in the %Saskatche-

New York Post: Flatfootedness may or

very interesting theories as to why 1t

to the opinion of DIR. Sargent OF Harvard.

children find themselves becoming fat

of the child tends TO make IL hatfooted.
for the bones of the foot require plenty of
lime to make them firm and strong. Poor
feeding leads to ''r.ckets" as well as fiat

says 1t does not stop to explain ricketts,.
What used to be called rheumatism of
the feet now turns out to be fiatfooted-

we are led to believe that If we wear

there Is one accomplishment a states

ought not to care whether we are fat

reason for our walking anyway.
