BY W. c. Gilbreath Commissioner Of Agriculture

the eastern coal, and its cheerful blaze in
the furnace or the CRATE does much to rob
winter of whatever sting it might have
The state has reserved its own coal lands
to itself, so there can never be MONOPOLY
of this fuel. 1t is used in all state in
stitutions and its use in the home and for
commercial purposes is always increasing.
1t is source of wealth to the state second
only to its fertile soil, and in its ultimate
development millions of dollars will be
added to the producing capacity of the
state.
The average wealth of the state is high.
Labor is we'll paid. Farmers who have
come to North Dakota and paid for their
land with the profit of one and two years
crops are legion. For several years there
has been a continual stream of middle-west
farmers, renters and others DESTROYS of
owning homes in the state. They have
found homes, wealth and happiness.
They have found land at S. to $50 per
acre. They have found pure water, cheap
fuel, live towns and prosperous neighbors.
And they have written. their friends in the
east to get Il home in North Dakota before
it is too late.
The government land in the state is be
ing rapidly taken. Homesteaders are to
be found upon nearly every quarter
section.
The North Dakotan wherever you find
him.. is cheerful. optimistic, prosperous
and full OF energy. He is proud of his
state and glad that he lives He is liberal
his lines are cast in pleasant places and he
has in his acres a heritage of which no
business difficulties can deprive him if he
takes advantage of his opportunities

Congressman Gronna, who is a
candidate for reelection. has is
sued declaration of principles
that should appeal with force to
the republican voters of the state.
MIR. Gronna's platform is in
line with the advanced doctrines
of the republican party and is the
statement of a sensible, fair mind
ed and conscientious public man,
who has made good. Mr.. Gron-
ma has been a successful business
man, and he applies to his con-
gressional work the same sound
sense and wisdom that has made
him successful in a business way.
He declares for the right reguia-
ton OF corporate interests, with
incorporation under a national law
Unnecessary in order to bring them
properly within government super
vision. in matters of Interstate

of men best informed in matters
of finance, he believes in the re-
vision of our financial scheme,
with due regards to the interests
of farmers and laborcrs and the
small bankers. Ills declaration
in favor of the federal grain i'll
spection law is terse and to the
point. Legislative fair to the
laboring element, for the upbuild-
ing of the navy, for the improve
ment of inland waterways and for
the promotion of irrigation and
drainage is favored by him, and
his platform rings true all along
the line. Mr.. Gronna has had
the benefit of congressional ex-
pcrience, and his work has been
done in the interests of the people
of this state. lie believes in the
settlement of party differences
within the party, and stands for
republican success and the ad-
vancement of republican princi-
