The seed train experts do not advocate
sending away after seed. They believe
that seed can be selected from the grain
grown here which will make the best to
obtain. The seed should not, however,
be taken haphazard. but should be care
fully selected and we'll tested. This
should be especially the case with the
grain from which the farmer expects tc
raise his next years seed. The plot Of
land on which this seed is sown should
also be carefully selected and well pre-.
pared. This seed plot should have every
attention. and thus the Individual far,

EDITOR CoUR1Eg-DEMocRAT:-
AS the time of our spring election
draws near in which we, as citizens,
should all feel interested, it might be
we'll to review the field of action and
ascertain where the weak points, as we'll
as points of vantage, are located, in order
that proper remedies may be applied to
strengthen the weak. In last weeks
issue of the Republican there appeared
an article treating on our excessive tax
alton. Without attempting to stir up
strife or create hostile feeling, let US
carefully and reasonably consider the
situation from the standpoint of good
government and clean politics. Lang
don has borne the proud distinction of
being n of the very best towns in the
state. If we are to maintain that posi-
ton, it is we'll that we stop and consider

tons are constantly changing about US,

reforms are sadly needed all must admit
Is our property holding its own in value:
Are we satisfied with u present rate Of
taxation: Are our heaviest taxpayers
taking sufficient interest in the affairs o.
our city: If not, what are the remedies
to be applied 10 cure these ills? Let Us
face these matters squarcly. and care

Let US arouse ourselves from our lethagy
The best interests of our families de

The question of what is likely to be
doing in Langdon on Monday. April
2nd when the municipal election is held
has not as yet reached the stage beyond
street corner rumor and curb stone argu-
ment. Just the same there seems to be
a growing sentiment in favor Of making
every possible effort TO secure the cleo
ton of a stong and progressive council,
The rule by which municipal affairs are
most generally manipulated show poll
ticians to enter their efforts in the cleo
ton Of a mayor but you will more often
find that the tax paying voters are
mainly interested in wanting to see men
elected to the council who will work in
harmony with the mayor to the end that
the best interests Of the city be served
