The exhibit of North Dakota at the
National Corn Exhibition now in session
at Omaha, Neb., is proving one of the
most attractive and complete features
at the exhibition according to the
Omaha Herald. The display of grains
and grasses is comprehensive, showing
both threshed grain and grain in
sheavss. But while the grain displays
are naturally the largest part of the
exhibit and show the wonderful %fertili-
ty of North Dakota, Ignite coal, pottery,
brick and clays occupy section. The
corr exhibit also shows what can be
grown in this state which wes long
thought to be outside of the corr belt
The corn is we'll matured and of fair
size and while not as large as some
grown farther south the perfection of
the samples displayed compare favor
ably with any corn in the show. The
variety of products that can be grown
and taken from North Dakota soil
astonishes many visitors who through
exaggerated newspaper blizzard stories
have been lead to believe North Dakota
synonymous with snow and ice.

THE PROMISE OF 1910.

From the standpoint of manufacturers
the year 1910 promises to break all re-
cords. American Industries, a publ
cation devoted exclusively to the manu-
featuring business of the country, has
published a review based upon reports
from manufacturers in every state in
the Union, telling encouragingly of trade
and the general prosperity of the people.
An increase in price is shown in prac-
tically every article of manufacture,
ranging from y per cent for agricultural
implements to 60 per cent for vehicles
The figures appear to show that it
makes little difference whether an
article is protected by the tariff or open
to the keenest competition, the prices
have been increased by a very consider
able per cent and the demand is increas-
ing a volume which assures steady
operation of all of the factories in the
country.
The increase in prices starts with the
farm. where the value of the crops for
the year amounts to something like
SS,O00,0O0.000 and extends to every item
of manufactured goods. Boots, shoes,
clothing, furniture and all of the ne
cesslties have advanced in price from
10 to 40 per cent. and the manufac-
turers are preparing to reap the harvest,
without feeling much. if any, apprehen.
sion over a retrogade movement. Raw
materials and labor have advanced. and
the manufacturers see no prospect of q
change for a year or more at least. Ac.
cordingly, they have no hesitancy ir
stocking up with seasonable goods,
feeling assured that they will be busil,
employed in keeping pace with a de
mand that appears to be limited only b,
the country's ability to Th,
outlook is for one of the busiest in
dustrial years IN the country's history
even if the price prospect does not hole
much comfort for the ultimate con
sumner.

NOT A POLITICAL PARTY

The Society of Equity is not in poll
tics, nor is it allied with any political
party, or any factions. 1t is like the
Standard Oil Company, in that it at
tends to its own affairs, rewards its
friends, and Furnishes those who defeat
the measure advocated by it.
The dockage of grain is generally
admitted to be an arbitrary method of
despoiling the grain grower, for while
there is chat, in much OF the grain
shipped, it does not contain dirt in the
ordinary sense, On the contrary the so
called dirt is in most instances Wild
oats, or other volunteer matter which
grows up with the grain, and has a
commercial value. Owing to the fact
that grain cleaners are not installed IN
all the local elevators, the grain is
shipped as it is taken in. The almost
universal complaints of shippers of
grain 20 the Minnesota terminals. that
they are not fairly treated in the matter
of dockage caused the society to take
up the matter, investigate it thoroughly,
and it finds as the results of its investi-
cations. that the complaint of the
shippers are justified in nearly all in
stance.
The inspectors appointed by the state
of Minnesota owe their positions to IN
fuences surrounded by the elevator
trust, and the board of appeals to get
their positions largely through the same
influence, therefore they must serve
their masters or losa their fat jobs.
The whole Minnesota terminal sit
uatlon looks as though it were rugged
against the grain growers of the Da-
kotas. To the numerous complaints Of
unjust dockage made by shippers from
this state, we are told by the beard of
trad men to get cleaners, and ship clean
grain.
The society has positive knowledge of
numerous instances, wher" grain was
thoroughly cleaned before shipment,
and yet this same grain was docked to
the June of two pounds.N Now if it be true
tina the installation Of cleaners will do
away with all dockage, how does it
happen that grain cleaned as stated,
was docked? In replying to tins question
board of trade men say that they cannot
always go by sample, they have to go be.
hind it, so they say, as many farmers
are dishonest, and allowance must be
made for this.

not usually spare anybody, high or
