A Business Proposition.

''rhe old idea OF helping support the local
newspaper" remarked the editor Of a country
paper, has played out Country newspaper
dom has changed amazingly in recent years
There may have been a time when few news
papers were objects of charity, when the fellows
who tried to run them sought advertising on
the ground OF supporting the paper, but those
days have passed.
"a newspaper is a business proposition. 1t
has two commodities for sale, each OF which is
worth money, Just as potatoes legal services or
dry goods are worth money: These commodi-
ties are subscriptions and advertising space.
"Now that nearly everybody takes the home
paper it would seem that nobody should have
to be shown that advertising space in the home
paper is worth money to the buyer-that is, if
he knows how to use his space intelligently.
And most advertisers in late years have learn
ed how.
t1The old argument was that the paper helps
support it. The new argument is that the pa:
per will help to build up your business if you
use it's advertising columns

Human Nature.

Work like fury 16 hours a day at least. run
back and forth to your meals, hurry your wife
into Mysteries if she don't have every meal just
ready when you get there; sleep az little as you
can and live, grasp every dollar in sight and
dig for some that you think are covered up,
pinch your pocket book, shrivel your soul and
overwork your body and you will make money
You will be rich when you are old, if you live
You will also be broken down and miserable,
despised as miser and as slave driver by all
your neighbors and Stunned by your children.
And when you die, which will be before your
time, your children and near relatives will fuss
and fight over the property.

Should Cooperate.

The Independent received letter from A. L.
Craig, general passenger agent OF the Great
Northern, asking us to urge the people OF the
Northwest to order their coal now from the To-
cal dealers when the car supply is not limited.
The coal dealers of course will hardly feel JUS
titled in ordering a lot OF coal, ii they have no
prospects for selling it right away, and the first
thing you know. the summer will have
slipped away the cars will be used for
hauling grain and there will be another coal
famine Storage facilities should be enlarged
Dealers and fuel consumers should cooperate
and avoid a recurrence Of last winters condl-
tiOns

An inventive genius has gotten up a contri-
vance that ought to sell like not cakes in church
circles. 1t is in the shape Of a contribution box
and is certainly a triumph in it's way.
The coins tall through slots OF different sizes,
all dollars, quarters and dimes land on velvet,
but the njckels and pennies drop on a Chinese
gong. II this device is introduced in Minot the
gong will make so much noise that people in
the country will think the town is on fire.
1t will be interesting to note whether the bug
can fill up on green corn without getting pain
in it's ''tummy."

EDITORIAL COMMENT
A Species of Humanity.

In an article by Ralph W. Wheelock in the
Minneapolis Tribune, on the origin, tendencies
and finish OF the genius masher, he gives thefol-
lowing apt definition OF this species OF human
life
"Nothng is known of the origin OF the street
masher except that it is unspeakably low, al
though in all his forms he is a distinct product
of the boasted higher civilization. In the bar
barrie ages man tyrannized over women, often
times beat her into obedience occasionally slew
her for what he deemed the good OF primitive
society, but there is no record that he ever an
noyed or nsuIted her after the manner Of the
latterday creature known as the masher.
Washers are of all ages, from the calow youth
whose lack OF respect for his mothers sex ought
to be larruped out OF him with trunk strap
and the middle aged Lothario, whom nothing
but a 30 day sentence on the rock pile can tan e,
to the genius billy goat, who needs nothing SO
much as to be slapped on the top OF the head
with ripe squash and paraded up and down
the avenue as an awful example OF the depths OF
degradation to which the unwholesome recolec-
tions OF younger DAYS and vicious magma
tion in the sein present can bring a human
being, ETC." While the smaller communities
are not SO seriously affected by such specimens
OF humanity as above mentioned, there are GER
tain number OF young men in this, as we'll as
many other communities, who cannot learn too
soon that the only way to be manly is 10 be a
gentleman.

Can You Afford It?

No young man starting out for himself being
dependent upon his own exertlons can AFFORD
unnecessary ex penses He must deny himself
extras or always remain poor Even five
cent cigar each day will amount to $685. in
one year, and one who saves that sum will be
much ahead of the one who spends It, And the
habit OF saving will be worth everything. II he
saves $1S25 each year, only putting it at Elk
Years to $50. So much for one little trifle OF
Indulgence. He who would in u few years be in
dependent and not envy the capitalist must
start right

Potatoes Scarce.

The merchants OF Edmore shipped in and sold
a carload of seed potatoes and still there were
not enough to go around. This seems queer
when one considers the fact that no where in
the United States can one grow finer potatoes
than in North Dakota This.is the case III all
parts OF the state Perhaps the farmers have
concluded that they can raise grain and make
more money than by bothering with potatoes
