We Should Follow.

A commendable juvenile organ
ization has been started by some
Of our citizens, the object being to
help encourage boys under 20
years Of age to amuse themselves
instead of mischief making around
town in the evenings. It will be
known as the Boys Industrial
Club, and the meetings are held
for the present at the homes of
residents willing to help along the
good cause. Wednesday evening
about twenty Of the youthful met
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Holm
gren, and enjoyed innocent games
until $50 o'clock, when cake and
coffee sent the members home re-
joicing. E. A. Hubbell intends
allowing the club the use Of part
of his work shop for future meet
ings, 1t is hoped our citizens will
help the good work along.-Wil-

Prof. Ladd's appeal to the legis-
| ture for the small sum of $4,000
to carry on the work of the pure
food department; should not go
unheeded. Prof. Ladd's work
alone on the formaldyhides, fore
ing the spurious article out of the
market, has saved the farmers of
the state thousands of dollars.
Prior to the enactment of the pres
ent law, hundreds and thousands
of farmers in the state we're treat
ing their wheat with chemicals
which not only did the seed no
good but bred rust, smut and
blight. This has all been changed
and the farmer is no longer victim
lied. This is but one of scores Of
instances where the fight waged
by Prof. Ladd has been of inestim-
able value to the state. He asks
no salary for himself, but simply
asks the state to pay the other ex-
penses of the department. Valley

The Man With a Good Farm.

Had much better spend his sur
plus dollars in painting up. fenc-
ing up and generally rigging up
his present holdings, and making
the home more beautiful inside
and outside, rather than in buying
more acres. Particularly is this
true of one whose buildings are
shabby and whose house is lily
furnished and inconvenient. IF
one has enough land for a fair
farm, and is in the middle life or
past, it is an uncalled for infiction
Of work and worry to add more
land and possible debt. Labor is
hard to get and high priced now
and to add unnecessary acres at
this time Of life means early ris-
ing, late hours, less enjoyment Of
fairs, friends and family less read
ing. and rest; yes, less Of all

that makes life worth living.
Sometimes in, our desire to spread
our selves over whole lot more of
this world than we really need, we
forget that life isn't very long any
way and that all too soon we shall
be looking down at the forever
closed eyes of those who have been
doing the chores and making the
old home with us, or they will be
looking down on ours. It will
matter little then whether the
acres be few or many, whether
some neighbor has more than we
have or less, but it will mean mulch
to us-or them-whether we have
found time all along the way to
get the most out Of the all too
short life we were permitted to
live together.-Dakota Farmer.

The County Printing.


newspapers of the state ought to
unite in bringing before the COM
ing session Of the legislature is a
law requiring all county printing
to be let to the residents of the
county when the bidders execute
bondssfor the proper completion
of the work.
The newspapers Of North Da-
kota are not public charges and
should not be given more than
justice. But it is only justice that
they should be given the oppor-
tunity Of doing the county WORK.
They have done more for the build
ing up Of the state than all other
agencies combined. They have
sent the story Of North Dakota's
wealth to every hamlet in the ma
tion. They have stood by it when
others were deserting. The value
of North Dakota land is largely
the result of the constant booming
of the newspapers. and this ad-
vance has made hundreds of dol
lars for every man who owned a
quarter section or more in the
state.
Men equip printing plants in the
various counties and after they
have made the investment they
should be given all the business
possible. The line Of work IS
limited and they can not carry
sidelines as can many other insti-
tutions. Besides, they occupy a
different position. They have
helped every other business in the
town and community. It is thru
them that the world at large is
told Of the opportunities which the
business man and others can find
at these places.
The newspaper has helped every
taxpayer in the county where it is
located. Why then should not the
newspaper be helped by the tax
payer especially when it would
cost the taxpayers no more? There
is not a county in the state but
what has a printing plant in it
which can handle a large portion
of the work which is now done by
firms who don't pay cent of taxes
in the counties from which they
secure their work. More than this
Many of the firms which handle
the greater portion of the county
printing do not even publish
newspaper and contribute nothing
in the way Of advancing the inter-
est of the state. They are cold
blooded money-getters who care
nothing for the general prosperity
of the state except as that pros
perity contributes to their money
making.
A united effort on the part of
the state press will compel the pas
sage of law which will give the
printers of the counties their dues.
If it is charged that such a scheme
will serve to centralize the bust
ness and allow the taxpayers to be
robbed. 1t might be answered that
a maximum price for all the stand
work of the several Offices fixed by
law will prevent any extortion. 1t
is time for the country press to as
sert its rights and there is no bet
ter time than the present. Let the
papers see that their repre-
sentatives in the Legislature are
right on this proposition, and then
let them send committee to the
to see that their re-
quests are carried into execution.
