We notice that Commissioner Gil
breath is receiving very compliment
tary mention regarding the manner
in which he is boosting the state and
getting people lined up to come into
the state for future livelihood. One
thing he might do is to. pass around
the printing of the monthly magazine
which he gets out. There are no
less than about fifty shops in the
state which can get out booklet
fully as good as the last one, and
most Of the printing shops pay taxes

II ! single man voluntarily ,gosa

exempt or does he waive his right
to the exemption under the United

This is the question which Is in.
volyed in the bankruptcy case OF
Simon Kuner OF Mohall. who i a
single man and has "a homestead.
Unaer tine United States law a
homestead is exempt as to debts
contracted before the patent Is is
sued but under the state law the
homestead, If owned by a single
man, is not exempt.
The question is, should a single
man voluntarily turn his property
over to his creditors, wouid not
that act be a waiver Of his exempt
ticn under the United States law
Kuner Is single man, and he
went into voluntary bankruptcy. His
attorneys claim that his homestead Is

law, and the trustees eontends that
in going into voluntary bankruptcy,
he waived his right Ito the exemp-
tion under the United States law.

The Independents farm departmen mt
this week, contains quite treat for
our former friends, viz: the many ex-
ceilent good points brot out at the
recent tanners nstitute on the SIC
cessf1u growing of alfalfa and cl,ver
in North Dakota. Everyone Knows
that wheat, OATS flax, barley, rye etc.
can he grown here, providing the
farmer has tie right kind of land,

which they generally do. A S:cat
many hav, found that con c2n be
grown successfully here ii the right
Kind of seed is planted, and if it is
given proper care with a reasonable
amount of cultivation to conserve the
moisture. But it is not every farm
er who knows that alfalfa and clover
can be grown successfully in North
Dakota The writer attended the
farmers institute and saw hut two
or three of the farmers present who
claimed that they had made sue
cess of growing these very important
plants. Several said they had ex-
perimented and had failed. It is rea-
sonabie to suppose that the first
years experiment will be practical |
failure. Thanks ito science, We have
learned that to grow these two
plants successfully, it is necessary
that a certain kind of bacteria be |
scattered throughout the soil, which |
aid the plants in taking the nitrogen
from the air and transferring it to-
the soil, the nitrogen that enriches
the soil and enables us to grow larg-
er crops of wheat, oats, and the
like. This is the most important
thing that a farmer can possibly
learn and the INDEPENDENT hopes to
see the day when every one of our
farmers will be growing clover and
alfalfa successfully. The growing of
these plants is not mere fad, it is
necessity if the Farmers want to
get the most out of THE soil. Don't
let your soil become Impoverished.
Don't make failure OF farming. We
are all depending on you farmers.
Your success means our success. If
you don't make a success of growing
clover and alfalfa the first year, try
try again. Don't experiment with
great fields OF the plants. Don't ex-
pect too much the first year. Make
a study of the growth of these plants
and you will no doubt learn why you
made a failure at first. Read the ar
ticle on the farm page of this issue
and read 1t carefully. 1t is worth
your while.

prohibit the sale of n~ire-tenths OF the
eathartics that are now being sold, for
the reason that they, soon destroy the
lining of the stomach, setting up serious
forms Of indigestion. and 80 paralyze
the bowels that they refuse to act unless
forced by strong purgatives.
Munyon's Paw-Paw Pills are a tonic to
the stomach, liver and nerves. They in
vigorate instead of weakening; they enrich
the blood instead Of impoverishing It;
they enable the stomach to get all the
nourishment from food that is put into 1t.
These pills contain no calomel; no dope,
they are soothing. healing and stimulat-
ing. They school the bowels TO act with
out physic.
