Fargo has the state fair this year
and Grand Forks has an off year,
SO far as the title is concerned, but
promises to come to the front with a
splendid exhibition. Big improve
ments and additions have been made
on the state fair grounds at Fargo
and indications are for a good fair
and generous attendance Some
time, as we have heretofore indicar-
ed, the wheels will be taken out
from beneath the state fair and it
will settle down into a permanent
and abiding institution. 1t is not for
us to say at which place. 1T. will set
tie down, but in the processes of
natural selection, a sentiment will be
created for one city or the other and
when we have a permanent state fair
we may look for marked advances in
the line Of displays

That an election official, by failing
to attend to his duties under the
law, can invaldate and throw out
the vote of an entire precinct, legal
" cast to all appearances and rep
resenting the desires of the voters
OF the precinct, was proven in the
recount of the ballots in Burnt
Creek precinct, to determine the vote
for county superintendent The fail
ure of the election inspector to at
tach his initials to the ballots rem
dered all of them void, according to
Judge Burke, following a decision of
the supreme court in a Morton coun-
ty case. There is no question, we
think, but the ballots in the box are
those that were cast by the voters.
They are regular in all ways except
that the inspector failed to follow
the law. Our election laws are cum
bersome and intricate, and it appears
that even when all of the voters go
to the polls, mark their ballots prop
erly and see them go into the box,
they are not sure that they will be
counted. 1t would be interesting to
know in how many precincts Of the
county the same omission was made,
and how many really legal votes
there were, taking into consideration
all Of the technicalities of the law.

Reports from the grain fields are
that general and severe damage has
been done to wheat and oats by the
extreme heat of the past ten days
This damage is not confined to this
section of the state but extends
through the James river valley and
through the section west of the Mis-
souri, river as we'll Crops in the
Red river valley have not been dam
aged as severely but have sustained
some damage and the yield of grain
will not approximate the expecta-
tions of two weeks ago. Grain on
summer following is said to have
best withstood the unfavorabIe
weather. Grain on stubb1e and on
fall blowing has not done well, and
an inspection of many fields indicates
that general and soaking rain is
needed to restore the crop to even
share of its former promise. Flax
generally looks we'll and is with
standing the weather and corn is not
injured. There are reports of a
heavy rainfall in parts of Mcintosh,
across in southern Morton, Adams.
and Hettinger, that will advance the
crop prospects there. It is not Aeasy,
even in the crop country itself, to
obtain an accurate knowledge of the
conditions in all parts of the wheat
belt, but it is to be hoped that fav-
orable weather will bring on part
of the crop that looks damaged and
that the harvest may prove the re-
sisting qualities of the soil and the
grain well sown.

Some Erroneous Ideas Regarding
the !. Mission Of q Newspaper
By Henry yokmer County Review, MIbank, S. D.

subscriptions to his newspaper, and
space in its advertising columns.
That is all. And he must either get
pay for these two articles or quit
the business. While the milk of hui
man kindness, patriotism, public
spirit, and a desire to help his COM
munity is continually manifested by
the newspaper publisher toward the
general public, there is little or no
reciprocal spirit manifested by the
public toward the newspaper. With
the public it is a cold-blooded matter
of business to expect a guild pro quo
-one thing or another, an equivalent
for the money paid for a newspaper
subscription or for advertising space.
A newspaper man pays for an article
he purchases just the same as does
any other person. If he wants a
suit of clothing, pair of shoes, some
groceries, or any article of merchan-
disc, Or if he goes into a bank to
buy draft, or engages a doctor;
, or if he buys load of hay, a ton of
coal, a bushel of potatoes, a pound
of butter, or dozen of egs, he is
expected to pay the price the same
as any other person. While there are
some merchants and business men
who in turn patronize him, and buy
his newspaper or his advertising
space, there are others who never
patronize him or. pay him a cent.
And yet every time the newspaper
publisher says or does a good thing
for his town or community, the per-
sons who never contribute cents
worth of business towards helping
maintain the paper reap an equal
benefit with those who SO contribute
Now we are coming to the point of
what we want to say. In order to
get the money with which to pay the
printers, paper bills, and living ex-
penses, it is necessary, absolutely,
for a. newspaper to sell its advertfs-
ing space. To digress for moment
"a merchant was never known to
refuse to sell his wares to anybody
who had the price tobuy, no matter
where he lives, where he was born,
what is nationality, what his religion
or what political ticket he votes.
Nor does doctor or lawyer refuse
to sell his knowledge or his services.
Nor does a bank refuse to sell bank
draft or a bill of exchange. Nor
does hotel keeper. refuse to sen a
meal or lodging. But it is reserved
for some individuals to call the news
paper into question and to account
for selling some of its advertising
space to nonresident business con-
Germ who applied to buy advertising
space and pay good price for the
same.
This paper, in common with every
local or country paper. gives away,
without money and without price,
space for the benefit of the COM
munity, and when the opportunity
presents itself to get cash for space,
the cash will be accepted The local
or country newspaper is competed to
buck up against the cold and stern
business Sl world. It must pay prompt
ly for its paper bills and printers
wages. It's publishers must pay for
everything he buys from the mer-
chant, the butcher, the baker, the
c;antdlestfck maker; and it is about
time that he begins to demand pay
for what he has hitherto given away.
