The Cost of A Bow

Someone has figured out that the average
boy who is dependent on his parents for a live
lihood until he reaches the age Of twenty -one
years costs them four thousand dollars. On
this basis OF calculation brood for instance OF
six boys would represent an outlay Of twenty
four thousand dollars by the time they get
away from the home roost. The question
arises, does it pay to raise boys and are there
no other crops that would prove more profit
able? If a boy turns out to be acigarette iend
with breath like turkey buzzard and a
laugh that would make the untutored donkey
feel perfectly at home in his society and with
an untrammeled and uncomfortable desire to
avoid work; it is safe to say that his parents
might have invested their four thousand
dollars at a much better advantage. But if
the boy grows up to manhood with the lesson
we'll learned that wealth and success grow only
on bushes watered by the sweat of ones brow,
the parents need not begrudge whatever they
have spent on him, for he will be source Of in
creasing pride and Joy to their hearts, and
when they grow old and their steps slow and
faltering they have two strong arms to lean
upon and help them over the rough places that
lie in their twilight path.

The Independent is more than pleased with
the way that the subscribers have been settling
up their accounts, and the first OF the year
strikes us with very few in the delinquent class.
Il you have not made arrangements to pay up
within the limit prescribed by the postal de-
partment. please do SO at once. We would be
only to glad to extend the time TO those who
desire it, but please do not ask us to do so.
The government is obstinate and positively
means business.

They Have The Money

One can scarcely pick up newspaper in
North Dakota and scan it's columns without
running across at least one item which reads,
So and So is going east on visit OF west for
the winter. What does it mean? Simply that
we live in state where one not only gets a
living, but more than that be is able in a few
years to indulge in the luxuries.
1t is not long since farmer aud his wife
were a curiosity in a Pullman coach. Then the
city man and his wife were supposed to do all
the travelling Now the farmer turns on the
electric light, takes his phone directory aud
calls up the ticket agent, arrangesfor asleeper,
etc., to Chicago or Los Angeles or elsewhere
and, 10! the next day you see him and his es-
timable wife responding to the ''last call in the
dining car with as much grace and ease as
any city couple.
But the business man and the farmer do
not have it all to themselves, by any means.
All classes seem to be able to obtain the lux
uries occasionally. The rank and file of North
Dakota's population is far and away beyond
what it was decade ago and the increasing
number Of people who daily pack their trunks
and take a pleasure trip is an excellent indica-
ton Of the financial pulse OF community, a
state, d nation.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
A Favored Region

Travel has been beneficial effect on North
Dakotans. Nine out OF every ten men who
make trip return better pleased than ever
with the conditions at home. Their express
ions Of satisfaction are not merely buncombe.
They are convinced-after looking over the
other parts of the country-that few states
have the advantages Of the land of the flicker
tails.
North Dakota is the country for men, It's
not the best section of the country for weak
1t suggests virility and activity.
There are places in the south and west with
less variation of temperature localities, where
neither the extremes of heat and cold, that
prevail in North Dakota, are reached. There
are places where men can idle away their life
more Observation-Disclosures man and women who
are racked by diseases can dry up and die more
at their leisure but no section Of Uncle Sans
domain possesses better and more healthful
climate for rugged, hustling humanity. There
is no place where more human energy can be
stored up, where men can more readily work
longer hours at high pressure than in North
Dakota.
For earnest and honest effort few sections
OF the country can give greater rewards. The
North Dakota sOil-even with the half
hearted, haphazard methods of cultivation in
vogue-gives greater results than lands in
other states that sell at two and three times
the prices paid here. The possibilities of yields
in this state are limited only by the methods
OF preparation and cultivation OF the soil.
The state is approaching an era of i'm.
proved farming methods There will be more
crop rotation, more diversifcation' more rails
ing of stock OF all kinds-and more money for
the farmers.
The development OF the coal and clay beds
means additional manufacturing interests-the
rapid settlement and natural growth means
greater commercial centers and bigger and
better North Dakota.-Forum.

The Time TO Advertise

s'We continue to do things ridiculous
things-because our fathers did them," re-
marked man today, "and We 60 on doing
them year after year without asking ourselves
why we do SO. case in point is the matter of
advertising, which today is thing OF necessity
in the business world. II you will notice it you
will find that average business men in periods OF
dullness and financial depression begins to re-
trench in the matter Of expense account by cur
failing his advertising. He does it because his
father did because he argues that he can lop it
it of and restore it again with less convenience
than he can other expenses. But il he will think
for moment and weigh the matter as cold
business proposition involving dollars and
cents he is bound to admit his retrenchment
had best begin at another point. "
eff advertising is good business practice
at any time surely it is most valuable when
the people are buying least for fits object is to
attract the purchaser and get him into the
store, naturally there must be greater effort
expended in that direction when the public is
buying least. No matter how severe periods
of depression are, and how stringent the money
market may be, people will spend what they
must and naturally they are at such times
more quickly attracted by the offerings of ad-
vertisers as they are eager to have their ex-
penditures bring the best results"

An exchange hits the nail on the head in
the following paragraph: The newspaper is
the merchants friend, the sharpest tool in his
trade and the very best method OF defense from
the mail order house. The editor looking for
ads is not CRATER, but a healer with a legiti-
mate trade to offer, and his work is more valu-
able to the city than most any other.

UPPER MANOA ROAD
HAS BEEN RUINED

Upper Manoa road, recently scratched
over by road workers employed by the
road department from among political
helpers, instead of being source of
pleasure to the residents of the valley,
is nuisance and is almost impossible.
The road men cleaned the bitches of
weeds and threw them with soft dirt
into the middle of the road. The dirt
was in reality only dust and is now
about three inches deep, and so fine
that it is impossible to walk over or
through it.
The slight rains which fell in the
valley recently transformed the dust
road into quagmire. Automobile
drivers ceased to drive over it because
it is treacherous, and especially so at
night.
Several residents have complained to
those who have charge of the road
making. The road needs roller and
oil to top it, or macadam should be
used to give it a hard surface.
