A Berwick business nan answered farmer
who wrote in favor of dealing with the mail or
der houses. The merchant declared that he was
steady advertiser in the Berwick Post, and as
such has right to ask for share of the bust
ness from the farmers The Independent often
hears merchants who never spend a cent for
advertising kick because the farmers trade with
the catalogue houses, and the Independent is
often raked over the Goals by these same mer-
chants because we do not roast" the farmers
for so doing. Such merchants have no right to
complain if every farmer spends every cent he
has with Shears, Sawbuck & Co., and we believe
that if we were such merchant we would hest
tate long time before we made complaint to
the editor about the terrible condition Of things
AS matter Of fact the merchants who are ad-
vertising have no complaint to make at all.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
For Power on Farms.

The problem Of progressive farming has
been solved by electricity and in the future the
present scarcity Of farm laborers will have nc
terrors for the model farmer The back break
ing nerve-racking hard work, which has done
more than anything else to drive the boys from
the farm, is no longer necessity, as by the ap.
plication OF electricity small motors do the
threshing. churning, separating unload and
press the hay, even to the milking OF cows and
the turning OF the hateful grindstone. Elec.
tricity has long been faithful servant to be
enjoyed by tho residents of the cities and larger
towns, and the farmer, isolated from the cen
trail stations and electric transmission lines,
had to do without. Happily this is no longer
true and the gladstone day has arrived when
the cOuntryman can partake OF the comforts OF
an electric light on his reading table, an cleo
trio cooked luncheon, corn popped in the cleo
trio pepper or toast his feet before the lumi-
nous radiator, even as his city relatives and at
considerable less cost.
In the great west large numb Der Of farmers
utilize their windmills to generate current light
and power. A storage battery is provided to
store away enough electricity to last day or
two in case the wind fails. In California even
the sun is harnessed to develop electrical power
for farm work. Huge ref ctUrs follow the
course of the sun and focus the rays on boiler.
The steam is conveyed to a small engine which
whirls the generator.
The fexibility Of electric power makes itideal
for the farm. The new induction motors are
perfectly safe and the little fellows drive the
heaviest machinery with ease. With a small
plant the proprietor does not have to be an
electrician. Ii he has only a knowledge OF the
first principles of electricity it is sufficient
The farmer who has neither water or steady
wind power, resorts to the oil-fue, engine-driv.
en- generating set which answers all purposes
and is but little more expensive than the ma
tural power The removal OF the exorbitant
duty on denatured alcohol provided a cheap
months scientists have been investigating the
best sources for obtaining denatured alcohol
and they find that the waste products of the
farm, such as eaw-dust, corn-stalks, spoiled
fruit, the refuse from breweries and sugar beet
factories contain alcohol in large quantities.
Ways and means for extracting this alcohol at
a trihing cost Lave been perfected.
Electricity is the most important factor in
the Industrial world today and it is only
question of time, according to the engineers OF
the General Electric company. when s. will te
just as essential to the progressive farmers as
1t is to the dwellers of the cities.

Has the Same Chance.

The Grand Forks Herald asserts that the To-
cal merchants are on an equal footing or have
the advantage of mail order houses in most
things and if they are not able to meet such
competition, they have missed their calling and
should quit the business.
The mail order house has extended it's enor-
nous business by perestant and intelligent adj
vertising. The local merchant has the same
opportunity If he does not know how to adj
vertise, he should make study of the art.

Unabated Prosperity.

North Dakota is diversifying her farm pro-
ducts. Sections OF the state which few years
ago were thought to be only good only for
grazing purposes are now cultivated FARMS
This year has been the usual progress made in
opening up new domain and seeding it to grains
which have made North Dakota famous, SAYS
the Commercial Bulletin. There are streaks
and spots in North Dakota where the crop is
thin. But the general crop condition il good
North Dakota as a state viii have good
eOutiuups on it's way unhindered and undim

North Dakota never had boom. The
nearest approach to it came some years ago
when land values advanced steadily and rapid
ly. But that advance had been accumulated
through the ten years previous. All at once
the hard working renters OF the east realized
that North Dakota offered them in the way OF
opportunity. immigration headed that way in
streams. cultivation of the land brought
crops that the world wanted and was willing to
pay good prices for. That is prosperity on
Foundation "a firm rs the bills. Wheat, fax,
oats, rye, barley, hay, all of the best quality.
Vegetables that no section of the earth can sur

State fair recently held at Grand Forks show
ing exhibits OF all Ct her products, gave valu-
able lesson in North Dakota's advancement.
The creamery has been slow in arriving in
North Dakota. People on the farms have
made money so easily in grain farming that
they did not care to devote the time to cows,
milking, and all Of the trouble that the dairy
means. But gradually the North Dakota far
7neIs are seeing the creamery ID it's right light.
IL brings them money at times of the year
when money is scarce in the state, and in fact
the dairy Industry is such a steady profit maker
that no progressive farmer can do without it
long. Growth Of the dairying industry is the
next step in the material advancement of North
Dakota.
Moth Dokota merchants have made money

failures, but these have not been because there
vas lack of opportunity. The North Dakota

good conditions year in and year out as it is
possible to ind in any part OF the world.

Loss Mostly on Paper.

the total loss inflicted by insects on American
farmers each year is $75O.OOO,0OO. To con.
sole the farmers it may be We'll to say that the
loss is entirely on paper Il there were no such
damage to wheat, corn and other crops the

called by all who knew him was born
in the St. Bernard islands in March,
1901 and was 106 years old at the time
of his death. He was of a CHEEKY dis
position and well liked and respected.
What little that is known of his past
life has been CLEANED from a personal
friend who attended to the dead man 8
correspondence, Hickey being unable
to either read or write.
"Uncle john was extremely re-
ticient about his past. Coroner Clark,
who knew deceased well, says that he
had been married and had three strap
ping sons all of whom are alive and
well somewhere in this country. One
of them worked in a mine at Marian
gulch several years ago. Injured in an
accident. his father learned of it and
saw that he had the best of attendance
and care. The father was comfortably
well-to-do at that time and enjoyed
the best of health. For three years
past, the ravages of Father Time com
menced to tell on the hardy specimen
and his health began to fail.
He still made living, however, by
doing odd jobs for the neighbors who
tried to induce him to become an in
mate of the county hospital at Glen
wood. The old gentleman proved very
sensitive on the subject and became
highly indignant whenever the topic
was brought up. Four months ago, he
began rapid decline and has since
been an object of charity, his self
pride refusing to permit him to 60 to
Glenwood where he would have the
best of medical attendance. The sons
seemingly deserted the parent in his
extremity and he had had no word
from them for years before his death.
Besides the three sons, the centenar'
ian was sometimes heard to speak of
an aunt and uncle who had been at
tracted to California in the fifties by
the gold fever and he repeatedly an
nounced his intention of going to the
coast and looking up his relatives.
Hickey had been an object of interest
for years before his death, chiefly on
account of his extreme old age
and wonderful vigor. The Grim Reaper
finally garnered in the harvest and
Hickey was buried in Glenwood at
county expense.
Requiescat in pace!
