time to get the department of agricul-
tlre to make "a ruling on this ques-
ton which would compel the Gamers
who use this method to say so ON the
labels of their goods. 1t looks now as
if the question will be passed up to
congress for a specific law covering
this phase of the pure food agitation.
The use of caustic soda is imIJos-
sible with ripe fruit however, because
it dis'colors ripe peach SO that it
will not pass muster with the users
of high grade canned fruits. In con-
sequence this process is possible only
with unripe fruit, and green fuit is
rpurposely gathered for canning.
Owing to the absence of any marks
on the cans to indicate the use of
caustic soda, the only way the custo-
mer can tell If ne has purchased a
lye process can of fruit is by taste.
Open a can Of peaches, wash away the
syrup from piece of the fruit. Then
taste it. If it is void Of flavor, woody
and pulpy, and has a soapy appear
ance, it is undoubtedly the I've peeled

GROWERS GOWN

PLETED FOR MEETING JAN.
10, 10, 20, Fl.
10, 10, 20, Fl.
Farmers Are Urged to Bring Their
Ladies' With Them Many Good
Speakers Arranged For.

The arrangements for the Tri-state
Grain Growers convention, to be held
in Fargo Opera House, Jan. 10, 10,
20 and Fl, are practically completed
and the program is in the hands of the
printer. This convention, like it's pre-
decessors, is intended to afford the
farmers of the state an opportunity
for social reunion and, at the same
time, discuss such matters as they
may consider vital to their own in
terests.
Leading speakers from outside of
the state will be present and will de-
liver addresses upon subjects of gen
eral interest to men engaged in live
stock, dairying, and other Ibranches
OF agriculture.
The management would like to see
farmers bring their ladies with them,
as the wife and mother and daughter
are interested as much in the agri-
cultural prosperity of the country as
are their husbands and brothers.
The glory of North Dakota and
.,cuth Dakota and, to a great extent,
that of Minnesota as well, will large
by consist in we'll titled and highly
productive farms.
The principal problem Of country
life now, however, is not SO much
to double the average yield of wheat
and other crops, but what is, if pos
slb!e, of greater Importance, to double
the desirabIlity, the comfort, and the
influence of rural life.
All these matters will be discussed
and all farmers who can possibly
leave their homes for four days should
be in attendance at this Tri-state
Grain Growers convention

It is said that in most of the can

in cost amounting to a cent and half
to two cents per can.

a memento Of its trip through the

'Caustic soda strong enough to eat

must be anything hut soothing to the

Pay Is Commensurate With the Duties
Required Of the Enunerators En-
gagged in Work.

The state census supervisors are
sending out press stuff calling atten-
ton to the examinations for positions
as enumerators, and the comparatively
simple examination that will be re-
quired.
The enumeratons will be required
~ write plainly and Iegibly and should
have the tact and discretion to get
the Information desired by the gov
ernmBent without difficulty. The pay
is a fair compensation for the work,
which does not hast long, but will give
energetic men an opportunity to make
a little spending money without harl
work. The supervisors will he held
accountable for the capacity Of the
enumerators they select, and will
make every effort to get such enunl-
orator as will do the work accurately
and thoroughly.
There are MANY sDeculations as to
what the count of the state will show
as to increase in population, but it
will be large increase both over
the federal census of 1900 and the
state census of 1905. The growth of
the state, particularly in the last few
"ears has been rapid.

Statement BY Fargo and Grand Forks

The following clipping is taken
from Fargo paper Of recent date and
was part of comments preceding the
copy of the decision rendered by the
supreme court in the cease.
"The opinion in the case on the ap-
peal to the supreme court is written
by Judge Spalding, the entire court
concurring. 1t virtually states that
Judge TempletoRs decision in the dis
trict court would have been sustained

Templeton's decision prevailed, hut

is not in accordance with the facts.
as an examination of the brief which
was filed by the attorney generals Of
fee on reargument would show.
The ease was one which was argued
before the supreme court during the
administration Of Attorney General
McCue. The present administration
had absolutely nothing to do with 1t
until it was requested by the supreme
court, during the past summer to pre-
pare an additional brief ami to re-
argue the case upon the following
propositions:
Il. Does Chapter 1879 of the
Laws of 1903 constitute an = aD-
preparation?
90. If it does, it is uncOnstitu-
tionaf because it specifies no
funds upon which warrants are to
be drawn.
I'm our brief AMI oral argument.
UPON these propositions. we argued
that the law was unconstitutional for
the ere.'sons which are now stated
bv the court in its opinion, and the
cases which are cited by the court and
discussed at length are cases which
were cited and discussed in our brief.
The position taken by our office IN
the case had been taken by ATTORNEY
General Miller early in his admins

preparations. HIS position at THAT time
has now been sustained by the de-

How They Make It Pay
He says:
''My customers, likewise, as rule, took very
large drinks of whisky-of size about nine to
quart bottle. This grade of whisky cost me $1.9O
per gallon, making the bottle stand me about forty
cents. Nevertheless this meant profit of one hun
dred per cent and over to me. On the finer grades
of whisky brandy, GIN ETC., my profits were larger

for. That is, if they wanted Old Grow or Hunter
whisky they got tat fifteen cents drink. But
many saloon-keepers fill the original bottles up with
whisky costing them but $500 gallon, and
sell this for any brand of liquor that is called for
One of my competitors, for instance, told me in a
burst of confidence that he had only grade OF
whisky behind his bar, and that only cost him $14O
per gallon; he served it out at all sorts OF prices
from bottles bearing different labels"
There is some interesting information concerning free
lunch and how fellow in hard luck of grasping

that my unmarried patrons spent about seventy-ve

In the Second Generation
Here is extract from this frank and truthful story
that should not be overlooked:
cone Of the most surprising and unpleasant OBJ
servations made concerned the second generation
the adult American-born sons Of Irish German
fathers. These men, rule not only shared the
drinking habits Of the latter but usually outdld
them. Besides that, many of them were not only
more dissipaed than their elders but also very
frequently shiftess indoent and unreliable. And
not a few of them criminally inclined, even
when their fathers were strictly honest and respec

'sI found this to be the case, too among the young
Italian Americans and Jewish Americans of the sec
ond generation While the old folks still remem-
bered their early religious teaching and felt It's re-
straning influence, these influences, in the majority
of cases. seemed to be entirely removed from the
younger men.
