It is probable that during the

the train and may have tried to
board it again after it started,
missing his footing and falling un-
der the wheels, which passed over
the right arm and both legs.
The unfortunate man was 20
years of age and was the son by a

born at Aberdeen, S. D., and
came to Grand Forks when about
8 years old. He attended the city
schools and grew to manhood in
this city, and was a favorite with
all who knew him. He was a
plummer and steamftter by trade
and for some time had his head
quarters in Williston.
The remains were brought to
this city Sunday night on No. 2,
and the funeral will be held from
the residence of F. L. Dixon in
the Security block.

WANT FAIR PLAY ...
FOR RAILROADS
EMPLOYEES OF RAILROADS THROUGH
BR0TnERh0ODS DEMAND FAIR
PLAY IN LEGISLATION

The Railway managers of Amer
ica, despite the legends of the
great political power, have not
been strong enough to secure in
all cases fair play from legisla-
lures, congresses, commissions
and executive. The discomfort of
practically every railway presi-
dent in the United States is suth-
cient proof that the government is
not under railway control.
The investing public, which
owns the securities of the rail-
ways, although more than a mill
lion strong and having the SYM
pathetic support of business men
generally, has not been strong
enough to secure in all cases fair
play for the railways. The doubt
entertained concerning the value
of the railway securities is sutti-
cient proof that the government is
not under the control of the own
ers of the railways.
Now enters a third influence to
demand fair play for the railways,
namely, the employees of the rail-
ways. The great Railway BROTH
erhoods, through their officers,
have prepared a memorial calling
attention to the fact that, while
everything the railway has to buy,
labor and material-has gone up
in price, the only thing they SELL
transportation has gone down, and
that this process cannot 90 on in
definitely without menacing rail-
way wages. Will the brother
hoods be able to do what the rail-
way managers and the railway
owners have been unable to do
that is, guarantee fair treatment
of the railways when rate orders
are made9
There is reason for hoping that
the railway managers, exercising
such legitimate influence as they
possess, plus the railway owners,
exercising such legitimate infu-
ence as they possess, plus the rail-
way employees, exercising such
legitimate influence as they pos
sess will be strong enough to
counterpoise the producers, ship
pers and middle-men, who demand
lower and lower rates without re-
gard to fairness. We may be
nearer to an adjustment than we
think, and removal of the shad-
ow that has rested on the. railway
business-that the public could
not be relied on to be just. The
Intervention OF the brotherhoods
is of the highest degree important.

TRADE LOYALTY

No word appeals more strongly to the average
person than loyalty. We all love to be spoken of
loyal to family, friends, country and to our ideals.
We should also include our home city.
There is no doubt of our sincerity in this and
we would feel very much offended were it question.
3D. but IS this loyalty always of the right sort is it
intelligent and active or is it sometimes sentiment
tai and pleasing fancy with which delude our
selves9 1..
The happiness of the people of city depends
largely on the prosperity of the community as
whole and this prosperity depends in part upon the
amount of money circulating there. The more mon
ey the people send away for things they can buy
from their own merchants, the poorer the community
will become and conversely, the more they spend at
home, the more the place will thrive.
Do those who patronze distant mail order
houses think of the harm done? If all the good
people in Boston for instance, should ignore the To-
cal merchants and for one year buy all their sup
plies in Chicago, Buffalo and New York, there would
be For Sale" signs on the city hall, Youngs the
public library and the old North church. The same
principle applies to all communities.
Patronage of home merchants is the life of a
city, These mail order houses by Offering attract
i've (Y) premiums with Indifferent goods have drawn
from US large amounts of money which, if spent at
home, would have helped to pay for schools. paving,
lighting and general civic improvement. Outside
business houses do not pay any part of our city
taxes
But, Business is Business" some say. Yes,
but business more than that it is reciprocity, and
it should be apparent to everyone that business deal
ings with those who are working for the same local
interests ourselves will be far more productive OF
good, than trading with people who are far away,
who buy nothing from US and whose only interest in
our community is the amount of money they can get
out of it.
Do YOU recall when times have been hard that
these mail order houses extended you credit to
help you over the hard paces9 Will they9 Not in
thousand years-it's money down, or no goods.
The local merchants are the ones to whom we must
then turn for assistance but how we do so with
good grace or reason unless support them in
prosperous timesg
They are alert, intelligent and progressive and
if given the opportunity, will sell better goods at
the same or lower prices than the mail order houses
can or will and deliver them at once-no express
charges, no long delays, no disappointments.
Let US cease then, enriching few people in
whom we have no sort of interest, at the cost OF
lasting injury to our own community. Try support
ing our own home business for time.
Surely, loyalty, in this instance, means spend
your money at home.

NECESSITY OF
/ FALL Al FLOWING | w \ I
PROF. SHAW, THE GREAT NORTHERN
FARM EXPERT WRITES INTEREST.
ING ARTICLE ON FLOWING

plowed in the fall the soil becomes
impacted by the time of sowing in
the spring. 1t makes firm seed
bed and this is very favorable to
the development of root growth.
1t also increases the power of the
land to hold moisture. When land
is plowed in the autumn the action
of the elements on it tends to libe-
rate fertility. This means that on
land thus plowed there is larger
supply of food available than on
land freshly turned up in the
spring. Such plowing also aids in
early sowing and planting, and
every farmer knows the benefit
that results from doing these things
thus timely.
Some farmers object to autumn
blowing Oh the ground that it
buries the stubbles, and as result
the snow that flies blows away into
depressions, which it would not do
to anything like the same extent
from ground that still held the
stubbles. The fact remains, never
theless, that in nearly all instances
more moisture may be secured by
autumn blowing followed quickly
by narrowing for the next years
crop than can possibly be secured
from the spring plowing, notwith-
standing that the latter may have
held more of the winters snow.
Where plowing is deferred until
spring, it is impossible to do it all
at the proper time; heace much of
the crop is put into the ground too
late to get good results. The only
land, probably, that should not be
plowed in the fall in these states is
sandy land so light that it will
blow.
While on general principles,
therefore, it is better to plow the
land in the fall than in the spring,
it is especially important that the
present season every acre should
be autumn plowed that can be
turned over. There are several
reasons why such effort should be
made. First, the season has been
of such character that food is
very scarce for winter feeding.
The unusual scarcity at this season
makes it certain that it will be
much more higher priced next
spring than it is at the present
time. 1t will be the part of Wis
dom, therefore, to so arrange work
that the necessity for team work
in the spring shall be reduced to q
minimum. Second, when food is
scarce and high priced in the win
ter and spring following, there is
strong temptation to feed it to
work animals in quantities too
stinted to enable them properly to
do their best work. Third, the
rains that have fallen in most
places have so softened the land
that it may be plowed without any
difficulty. In autumns that are
very dry this cannot be done so
we'll as when the ground has been
softenedlby rain. That objection
does not apply now. Fourth, the
rains that have softened the ground
have increased the autumn food
supply. This will only act favor
ably on plowing in so far as it pro-
vides food for other farm stock,
thus making it possible to feed
more freely the animals that do
the work.
Every reasonable effort, there
fore, should be made to turn over
every foot of land this fall that is
likely to profit from such treat
ment. Usually the ground does
