MACARONI WHEAT.

If the estimate of thirty-five thou
sand bushels of macaroni wheat in
this state for the present crop be true.
it is an evidence that in time this will
become as much OF a staple crop in
the northwest as is blue stem or fife
at this time
Less than half dozen years ago the
growing of macaroni was altogether
an experiment in this state, and the
farmer who advocated its growth SER
iously was considered on a par with
the man who would advocated skunk
farming as competitor of the time
honored hard wheat. The millers
refused to grind it and it went begging.
SO to speak, for market. There was
little or no demand for it in the gen.
eral market and consequently there
was little encouragement for grow
ing 1t.
But change has come over the
wheat buying and wheat consuming
markets. The latter is, of course, the
foundation of the former. Macaroni
was found to be highly nutritious

ALAS! THE POLITICIAN.

Strange things are happening all the
time. Some of Mr.. Bryan's friends
are fearful that the politicians" will
get control of the reception which is
to be given in New York when the
lad from Lincoln arrives from abroad,
and Norman E., Mack, the democratic
national committee man from the
Empire state. said, Why should not
politicians take part in it,"
Sure enought what would Bryan's
campaign be without the guidance of
the democratic politicians? What
would any mans campaign amount to
if those who have demonstrated that
they are politicians should stand apart
from those who seek to be known as
politicians? The disparaging talk about
politicians" comes wholly from men
who aspire to be and do the very
thing which they denounce. And
therein lies the hypocrisy of the bust
ness.
We have had a recent wholesome
demonstration of this fact right here
in North Dakota. Who are the men
that talked reform" in the late cam
paign. declaiming against the success
full republican leaders? Truly they
are politicians politicians of an
inferior grade; they are rejected
politicians. every one of them, and
when the limelight was thrown full
upon them they presented a hideous
spectacle to the plying public eye.
Invariably will mans political
sins find him out. If he is the abhor-
rent thing that his enemies describe
him to be his public days will be few
in the land, but if his career and his
services have been in the interest of
the common welfare he will be sus-
tanned and his detractors will suffer
the ignoring they deserve Time is
great leveler and truth mighty shield.
The opportunist who attaches himself
to weak cause based upon venom
and falsehood will discover his error
early in the fray If he is wise he
will refuse to be again misled

considered. But the catalogue house
sells IL thousand suits of clothes at a
dollar profit each and has thousand
dollars to the good. The other mer-
chant attempts to make ten dollars on
one suit of the same goods and by this
course causes twenty persons who
be his customers otherwise to send to
the catalogue houses for clothes and
while doing that probably dozen
other articles which would have been
bought at the local merchants had
he have had the right price on his
clothing.
The worst of the catalogue house
business to the local merchant is the
fact that it takes the very best trade
away from him. The man who buys
from the mail houses buys for cash
and constitutes the best trade. His
money could be Immediately invested
and turned several times while that of
the credit man is lying on the books.
1t would seem that the proper business
proposition would be to go after such
trade with prices which would COM
mand attention.

That is just what the mail order
houses do. They spend more money
on each customer in the way of ad-
vertising in six months than the aver
age local merchant does in a year.
1t is no wonder then that they
have the attention of the buying public
and secure the cream of the trade.

ATTENTIONS!

Grand Forks long since passed be-
yond the village stage. Twenty-Five
point for a radius of dozen miles
about. Today she is the commercial
metropolis of an empire less populous
it is true but more fertile and more
progressive than any of half dozen
kingdoms of the old world.
Many of her business men of the
early day are still in active life, and
most OF them have expanded with the
general growth. Others have come
and others will come to join in the
procession. 1t should be the policy of
our leading men not only to invite the
establishment here of such enterprises
as appear to be needed but to well
come with open arms the coming of
every kind of industry This is the
sure way to commercial greatness.
The members of the Commercial
club bring home wider knowledge of
the possibilities of Grand Forks as
a trade center for a vast expanse of
territory. Now let them devise some
method of keeping constantly open the
business highways leading hither. The
Evening Times does not propose to
ask for the privilege of doing its part
in this work. Nor will it assume to
dictate to others as to what they shall
do. We are content to accupy a place
in the ranks, and are seven willing to
follow business boss who will lead
intelligently to the success to which
Grand Forks is entitled.
Will not some one give the command,
Forward, march," We are marking
time and waiting for the word.

1t is almost unpatriotic to send to
Pennsylvania for the fuel supply for
this state when the vast fields of
Ignite lie almost at our doors. 1t is
unpopular only because it is unknown
and not understood. When anthracite
was first discovered. nobody knew how
to properly burn it and it was ridicul-
ed more than Ignite ever was. The
trouble with the latter is that having
gotten into a rut in refence to the
use of one kind of fuel. it difficult to
get out. The easten "Tennesseean
refuses to give up his open fireplace
and wood fire. and his wife refuses
to allow the installation of cook
range. preferring to cook by the open
fire in the old fashioned way. North
Dakotans who refuse to assist in
adopting Ignite as the fuel of the peo-
pie are in practically the same con-
dition.

per acre than the other varieties, two
material reasons for growing it were
established.
The millers were compelled by the
demand for the product to manufac-
ture the -four and even though the
change necessary to accomplish this
was made under protest, the wisdom
of the same has been proven by the
success which followed 1t.
1t has established a dry season crop
in the county where the loss of one
crop means Il material decrease in the
wealth OF the farmers, to the same eX-
tent that a good crop adds to it. And
it must not be thought that there is no
danger at any time from drouth in
this country There are no more of
these seasons In the northwest than
in other parts OF the country. and in
fact fewer than occur in many places
which are considered ideal so far as
weather conditions are concerned.
1t is Il valuable thing that within
the last few years there has been
developed variety of wheat able to
resist the dangers of drouth and
which has become such an important
food product that the market is able to
take up the entire annual product.
North Dakota has profited by it and
the increased acreage each year will
prove one of the wealth producers of
the farmers.

The Grand Forks Commercial club
on their get acquainted" trip arrived
here last evening accompanied by the
Grand Forks military band. The party
includes something over sixty of the
prominent business men of Grand
Forks and they are out getting ac-
quainted with their customers
throughout this country which is qom-
ing to look to the Forks more and
more as wholesale center. The party
is composed OF set of bright business
men who are awake to the value of
the business from this part of the
state and who believe that the better
the acquaintance with their customers
the better the business they will have.
The members of the party visited the
different places in town this morning
getting acquainted with the business
men here and left at 8:45. These
trips are fine thing in the way Of an
advertisement for the town repre-
scented, as 1t shows they are progress
siye and up-to-date and are not afraid
OF the expense necessary to further
their business extensions.

THE NAIL ORDER HOUSE.

The speeches delivered at the re-
ception of the Commercial club of
this city at Minot on its recent trip
over the northern portion of the state,
struck key note on the matter of
catalogue houses which should be-
come the watchword of those who are
fighting this unpatriotic condition.
1t is suggested that if the local mer-
chant could sell the same quality of
goods at the same price as the cata-
logue house there would be no reason
whatever for the consumer sending to
the latter for his goods. Another point
is that these two facts must be pres
ented to the purchaser in just as at
tractive style as the catalogue houses
present their goods and prices. This
means intelligent and persistent adver-
Using.
The local mechant often mistakes
the purpose of profits and attempts to
make too much on one sale The re-
suit is that he looses number of
others and passibly customers as well.
Instead of having as his motto many
sales and small profits. he seeks few
sales and big profits, with the result
that he lOOses the few he had antici-
pated and gets no profits.
1t is true that the average country
merchant can buy in the wholesale
market Just as cheaply as the cata-
logue house can when the additional
cost of shipping the small article

1t would not be bad policy for this
state to adopt the plan of assessing
property at something near it's actual
value so that the rate of taxation
would not be so high. Many people
look only at the rate and give no con-
sideration to what the rate is based
upon. The consequence is that taxes
seem high when they are not more so
than in any new country.

Wednesday morning from the west
about thirty minutes late. They were
met at the depot by the local band
which played a piece as the train pull
ed in.
The party consisted of about sixty
members and was accompanied by the

leadership Of General Brown.
As soon as the train stopped, all
alighted, and after listening to the
for the SOuris band, and accompanied
business men, who were at the station

themselves and their lines of business

band marched to the corner Of Second
avenue and Main street. where they
gave several fine selections which
were dppTecHteu ny all.
The members of the club were very
loud in their praise of Souris and the
surrounding country, many of them
making the remark that this was the
best looking section of country they
had yet passed through.
They gave great praise to our
business men and to the enterprise
shown. and also said that this was the
first place they had stopped where
they were met by band, although
they had passed through a number of
larger and older towns.
President Winship of the Herald
Printing company said this trip was a
great treat to them. as many of the
party had never visited any of the
branch lines of the state and did not
realize the prosperity that abounded
in the rural sections.
The train stopped here about
thirty-five minutes. and after return
ing to the depot the club gave three
long, loud cheers for Souris and its
people. and continued on their jour-
ney, which terminates at the Forks
