Tuition Free.

Attention is hereby called to the
fact that tuition is absolutely free
to outsiders who wish to attend
the Washburn High School. This
school is getting the state aid this
year and is being equipped with
fine library and first class appa-
ratus. A competent and expert
enced high school man is in
charge, and the instruction is first
class.
There is now no reason for send
ing your boys and girls away to
school, for they can get just as
good instruction in the first and
second years Of high school right
here in Washburn.
It is very important that you
send your boys and girls in right
now before the classes get too far
advanced.

There has never been a period in
North Dakota. politics when the
necessity for publicity for the can
didates was greater Under the
provisions Of the primary election
law the candidates will have to
fight things out between now and
June 24. During the approaching
winter the voters will be in a posi-
ticn to read up on the issues and
candidates: Next spring they will
be too busy getting in their crops
either to read a greal deal or to
listen to speeches. It's advertis-
ing the candidates will require.
Some of them appreciate this fact
and are already arranging with
editors of weekly papers for few
thousand inches. There are others
who will try to work the same old
graft of having the editors boost
them gratuitously. Some will re-
fuse to do the work under such
circumstances. Political candi-
dates have no more right to expect
that newspapers will donate them
columns of free space then they do
expect that Clothier Jones will
give them new winter overcoat.

Congressman T. F. Marshall is
home again at Oakes, after hay
fever vacation at Detroit Lake.
AS we understand, the question of
entering the senatorial race, has
not yet been decided by him. Our
Tom can make good in any posi-
ton but many of his friends are
advising him to stick to the house
where his influence and prestige is
gaining each new term and where
they believe he can be of more use
to his constituency.-Lisbon Free

The Washburn leader., 1907-09-27

The senatorial race in North Da-
kyta is not likely to be as much of
a free-for-all as some newspapers
asserted. Under the old law any
man could be candidate for any
old office he wanted-and he could
change his mind in a few minutes.
The primary law makes it neces-
sary for more entries in the race
must be made earlier in the game
and it will cost something to break
in. The average politician is not
as big chump as he seems. There
is not going to be a big flood of
candidates for U. S. senate. Only
those who really believe they
have a show are going to spend
the money and time to make the
race.-Forum.

CONGRESS AND LOCAL OPTION

Thru the workings Of local op-
ton it is estimated that thirty out
of ninety million Americans are
living in so-called dry territory.
But owing to a peculiarity of fed
eral law it is also fact that the
people who have voted the saloon
out Of their local jurisdiction can
never be sure that they have ban
ished the stuff. The peculiarity of
the federal law is that it permits
and protects the shipment of liq-
uors from states which are not
dry into states, and counties of
states, which are dry. The total
effect of this working Of interstate
commerce is to nullify, in the
name of trade, laws which states
have passed in the name of morals
and humanity.
Secretary Root has recently
solemnly warned the states that if
they do not exercise their rights
the government will soon begin to
exercise them, since they cannot
lie dormant. Here is case Of the
federal government setting itself
against the exercise by state of a
proper police power. Congress
has upheld it because congress has
not yet felt the vivifying touch Of
the temperance sentiment which
has quickened the states. Con-
gress is very tender toward the
liquor interests, possibly because
congress is a large partner in the
business thru the internal revenue
taxation. But congress will not
always be allowed to dodge this
question, which will be pressed
upon it's attention until it arouses
itself to a knowledge of the fact
that the saloon is being extermi-
mated in the west and south by To-
cal legislation which the federal
government has neither call nor
title to nullify. Evening Times.

splendid foundation for a good dairy
ration, and it does not require heavy
grain feeding to produce large flows of
milk.
It might be added that the hay cap
serves equally as well in the curing Of
clover hay. The advantage of the hay
cap is not only valuable in protecting
the hay from rain, but from the sun
as well. The hay can be put up into
cocks when it is green and cured in
the shade, which is better than drying
1t out in the sun. Hay cured this way
Is more palatable and retains more Of
the leaves because they do not become
brittle and break of. The leaves of
the hay are the most valuable part Of
it, and any system that tends to cure
them properly and prevents losing them
in the field is, in our estimation, worth
practicing.

The cloth in the cap is made from (A}
sheeting torn into pieces forty inches
square, and to each corner larger
washer weighing about one-fourth Of q
pound is tied, says Hoard's Dairyman,
which shows one of these caps in the
accompanying cut and comments as
follows upon the use of hay caps:
Put Up Into Cocks.
The. hay is put up into cocks about
seventy-five pounds each and then COW
cred with the hay caps. The weights
that are attached to the corners Of the
cap tend to keep the cloth tight over
the hay, for as the hay settles the
weights drop closer to the ground.
To shed the water well the cloth
must be kept smooth and free from
wrinkles, and to accomplish this the
weights, when the caps are, put over
the cocks, should be several inches
from the ground. This method gives
the weights an opportunity to pull
down constantly on the four corners of
the cap.
To Shed the Water Well.
Some have recommended pegs be at
tached to the corners Of the cap and
hook them into the hay to hold the cap
over the cock. This system would be
all right if the cock of hay did not set
tie, but since the hay through settling
would soon pull away from the cap,
enough to materially loosen it and
cause more or less pockets and folds
in the covering, we do not recommend
this method.
There is no better hay for dairy cat.
