to strengthen the resubmission

state on a high license basis. The
plan contemplates the prosecution
Of all drug stores and retail and

contemplates the prosecution of all

Pick where you scratch, Is an
old bit Of advice that is well to prac-
tice even In these modern times.
How many farmer who has jast
gotten his farm into shape for max
ing some money, grows discontent-
ed and chases the ralnbo ". only 10
find in the end that he couil have
done better where he was located.
He has all Of his machinery about
him, has his horses, and II he had
taken an inventory OF this improve
ments would have found that they
ran away up into the hundreds and
even thousands OF dollars. But he
reads of the great fruit farms of the
west, he dreams Of the cotton planta-
lions OF the south, or he listens to
the tales told him by the Canadian
land men Of the wonderful wheat
Yields of the northwest, all OF which
NAV be true. He has q vision OF
overseeing q great leAdS iainA'
where he can wear a>straw hat and
linen buster the year around. Before
you make up your mind to leave so
good a state as North Dakota, take
an inventory OF your surroundings.
Take a piece of paper and pencil
and do a little figuring. On one side
of the column place the amount OF
your estimated worth when you ar
rived here few years ago, and then
total the amount Of what you are
worth now. Figure the per cent
that you are making on your invest
ment every year, and you Will be
surprised. You have done a good
deal Of scratching in North Dakota
ever farmer has had to do some tall
scratching, but now Is the time 70
begin picking. Mr.. Farmer. isn't the

THE DEvoRcE EVIL

The following editorial from al
eastern exchange, may not be in &C
cOrdance with the views Of every
body on divorces, but it will b.
Interesting to some:
The fact that divorces are increas
ing in this country more rapidly thar
the population would seem to be
mathematical proof that in time the
divorce evil must come to an end
because there will be none left tc
be divorced.
1t seems so. but it isn't so.
For some people are divorced
several times. They get the habit
and thus Unfortunately swell the III
vorce statistics And as rule these
people contribute little to the popu'
cation
There will always continue, no
doubt, to be a few simple, contented
folk, intent upon other things than
petty domestic chickering's, who will
preserve the marriage relation.
Yet, the report on Marriage and
divorce, just made by the census
bureau, covering the period from
1867 to 1906, is startling.
Il shows that the divorce rate is
higher in the United States than in
any other country from which relia-
BILE statistics have been obtained. It
shows a stea'y increase in divorces.
decade by decade, until in 1906 there
Is one divorce out of every twelve
marriages.
There is abundant argument in this
for more stringent and more uniform
laws against divorce.
But the truth is that a large pro-
portion OF those divorced ought to
be divorced.
The divorce evil, menacing as It
is, is better than cat and dog ex-
istance in the marriage state.
Divorce is only the putrid stream
from pulioted spring.
The pulloted spring is unwise mar
riage.
Marry in haste and repent in leis-
ure." is an old, old proverb whose
pregnant truth we are slow to real
ize
The marriage rate, as we'll as the
divorce rate, is higher in this coun-
try than in any other tina. keeps sta
tistics.
A national divorce law, or cooper
alton OF the states in the adoption Of
uniform laws, might tend to dam up
the political stream.
But the efforts of real reformers
would better be directed toward
cleansing the polluted spring.
The spring does not lie deep
enough in the rock of tried affec-
ton; It is too near the surface, and
every little shower muddies its
waters
Marriage, the most important
event in any man or woman's life,
next to birth and death, often gets
the least serious consideration until
afterward.
Marriage. the most important event
in any mans Or woman's life, is too
often regarded as only a legal con.
tract, and not as sacrament; and
while this condition exists there must
be lett : way out Of the misery that
Inevitably follows.

The sale Of the Bottineau school
lands was big success, the highest
land sold being the quarter section
of No. 16, Tacoma township, purchas-
ed by the La Porte Cattle Co., for
$41.50 per acre. Three fourths of
the land was sold last week at prices
ranging from the minimum price, ten
dollars an acre to the above figure.
Most OF the land was bought by farm
ers who have holdings adjacent to
the school lands. The Mcknight
Land Co. Of Russell purchased u
quarters. The first days's sales ag-
gregated $4,000 and the total sales
amounted to over three quarters of
a million dollars. According to the
above figures, 1t is expected that
when the Ward county school land
sale will be held next spring, the
price will be rather high. The farm
ers are already making many in
quiries as to the time when the sale
win be held. The Independent will
give you all due notice in a con-
spicious manner.
