FINANCE GRAIN MOVEMENT.

The people OF the northwest arr
"easy marks" to some extent In the
methods adopted for securing money to
handle the crops. If the banks would
stop sending their reserves to the large
eastern centers and keep the money al
home there would be no necessity of
borrowing 1t back and paying interest
on II to move their crops.
This might be brought even closer
home. If all the money in North Da-
kota banks-except the required legal
reserves-was retained within the
state and the lsrge centers, there
would be ample funds to handle the
crops and make whatever advances are
necessary-without calling on an east
ern financial institution for a cent.
There is no way, perhaps. to secure
the exact figures on the amount OF
money sent outside the state by North
Dakota banks, but The Forum had it
from reliable authority that one twin
city bank, alone, has now on deposit
from different North Dakota banks the
immense sum of $3,5OO.OOO. The totals
must be immense. If this money was
kept in Fargo-or if it was retained in
three or four Of the larger cities of the
state-the financial interests of North
Dakota could be advanced materially
and the people Of the state could be in
dependent of the east.
The bankers of North Dakota could
engage in worse business than ad-
vancing their own interests and those
Of the state by concentrating the cap
ital at home during the periods it is
most needed.
When North Dakota has a city with |
population to have reserve
banks the situation will be greatly
improved.

WHY BLEACH FLoUR2

The following from The New York
Journal Of Commerce will commend
itself to the wheat growers Of the
spring wheat belt:
We cannot quite understand the
claim Of those millers who take ii as
a sore grievance that they should not
be allowed to bleach flour and sell it
labeled in a way to imply that il is
made from a better grade of wheat
than Is the actual fact. In the case
just decided at Kansas City it has been
held that this bleached -four is aduI-
terated and misbranded and under the
Pure Food law cannot be an article Of
Interstate commerce. 1t was charged
that the flour was adulterated because
1t was bleached by the use of nitrogen
peroxide and was ,misbranded because
labeled in way to indicate that II
was made from first grade hard win
ter wheat" when in fact 1t was not.
The chief counsel for the millers
complains because the case was sub
mitted to a jury instead of being tried
before referee and seems to think
the result would have been different
II the question had been determined by
a board Of scientific men," But the
essential question is whether bleaching
hour made from one grade of wheat
and selling 1t as the product of a diff
ferent grade should be permitted. There
Is no pretense that blea ching flour,
which must cost something, improves
1t or adds to, its real value in any way.
even If it does not Inture it's quality.
/ oh
which may add to the profit of the
miller and perhaps of the grower of
wheat from which the flour is made
but which defrauds the consumer, in
as he Is induced to pay a high
er price than he otherwise would for
the same quality of flour. We can see
no other object in the bleaching.
The millers are reported as saying
that If this verdict holds, it will cost
the farmers of the southwest SIC. 900, 900
a year, as the "differential of cents
a busher' which formerly prevailed at
st. Louis and Chicago will be restored.
This apparently means that the quality
Of wheat used in making bleached flour
sells at cents a bushel more than 1t
would If -four could not be bleached.
This looks like a confession that a
false value is given to it by process
which is not a benefit to the product
but fraud upon the consumer. This
Is not plea that is likely to appeal
to the sympathies Of honest folks who
do not raise wheat but who do eat
bread made of flour. Why should ar
ticles Of food be bleached or coIored
except to profit purveyors at the ex-

MONEYS WORTH
Is Regulated by What it Can Earn
Small Sums Usually Cannot Com
mand What They Can Earn.

Men or women with small sums of
money to invest from time to time, will
appreciate such plan as is offered by
The Northwestern Mutual Investment
Co. OF Fargo, whereby the small in
weston and the large investor has the
same opportunity and are on the same
level of earning power for the sums
invested.
1t is a we'll known fact that large
sums of money have the call for the
best investment opportunities. It Is
natural that the man or firm who can
command large sums of money. ready
for immediate investment, should be
the ones to snap up golden opportuni-
ties. or to create opportunities when
conditions are favorable. The North
western Mutual Investment Company
has grasped this idea and worked 1t
out to the splendid profit of its GER
tificate holders.
Every reader of this paper should
send to the company and secure the
booklet which tells all about the at
tractive, safe and profitable plan. Ad-
dress them at Fargo.

N. D. STATE FAIR.

This is Fargo's year to have the
North Dakota state fair. The flicker
tail exposition is an affair on Wheels
and 1t travels between Fargo and
Grand Forks. Grand Forks had it last
year and this year it is having a coun-
ty fair-while Fargo makes the big
noise.
President Smith and Secretary Fin
frock have done months of strenuous
work. They have had the co-opera-
tion Of an enthusiastic and Intelligent
directorate and there are superintend-
ents Of the various departments who
are entitled to great deal of credit
for their assistance.
The time for the big fair is ap-
preaching. In less than two weeks it
viii be fair week-July $3.50.
There are many huge attractions and
the management has gotten together
enough features so there viii be some
thing to interest visitors of all shades
of beliefs and views on things material.
One great drawing card will be the
rendezvous of the state militia here en-
route to the national encampment
grounds at Sparta, Wis. There live
none so dead to whose heart militia
maneuvers bring no quickening throb.
The bugle calls, the stentorian COM
mands, the brass buttons, the martial
music, all quicken the pulse and en-
thuse the spectators. And as for the
dear girls-they will just adore the
brave heroes in khakhi.
Almost every human being loves a
horse. The admiration for the highest
types amounts to a passion with the
average man. In times past managers
of other state fairs have been able to
secure one Or two magnificent speci-
mems as attractions-bu it was left for
the North Dakota show officials to
bring together the greatest galaxy of
royal equines ever assembled al one
exposition. Through an arrangement
with NJ w. Savage, the great Dan
Patch, the almost as great Minor Heir.
Hedgewood Boy and Lady Maud c.,
the four most brilliant stars of the
equine constellation, win be seen i'm
Fargo fair week. Dan Patch will be
on exhibition. Minor Heir will endeav-
or to establish a new worlds record ON
q half mile track. Hedgewood Boy and
Lady Maud c. will go after the worlds
pole team record on half mile track,
There are to sbe feature days during
the fair. One important event is Wood
men day-when the axe weilders from
all over the state will be in attendance
Then there will be Fargo day. Moor
head day, Military day and others.
There win be splendid exhibits in all
departments of live stock machinery.
manufactured goods, art, schools. col
leges. grains, vegetables, fruits and
other things.
The race programme is one of the
greatest ever secured for the north
west. There will be something doing
every afternoon and the autoists are
planning number of events that will
delight the thousands interested in the
popular machines.
The amusement features will be
popular. Aside from the regular car
nival attractions the management has
secured more free outdoor turns than
have ever before been given anywhere
In the northwest
There viii be something doing all of
fair week and no one in the state who
wishes d treat. a recreation, a relaxa-
tion, an outing can afford to miss 1t.
