phatically home yesterday by the com
parison drawn by stranger between
Norfolk, city of about 5000, and
Cumberland, Md, a city OF 10000.
Norfolk, he said, has better school
buildings, better school system, a
better postotiice, Il better waterworks
system, better telephone service,
better electric and gas service, a more
credtable newspaper than that par

times Norfolk's size. More than that,

Cumberland has none whatever; he

fairly liberal ration OF grain and get
the pigs on the market as soon as pos
sible. Alfalfa or clover makes the best
pasture. Rape and peas are good for
temporary pastures. For permanent
pasture blue grass and white clover
are very good. A mixture Of clover
and rape sown with oats in the spring
makes the best kind OF fall pasture
when the other pastures are liable to
be scanty picking.

ANOTHER ROSEBUD OPENING.

The senate having passed Senator
CANDLES bill to open still more of the
Rosebud reservation, it looks now as
If the measure would become a law
and this territory see another rush of
landseekers next fall.
Senator Burkett voiced the same
objection to the lottery system which
Louis Hill recently gave expression to.
AS matter of fact, Judge Witten,
before tie last lottery, recommended
a plan by mail but officials higher in
the service overruled his objection and
the lottery prevailed.
It's is not at all unlikely, either,
that the same sort of plan will be
brought into service again.

The magazines and other pubica.

publications with their beautiful il.
Illustrations showing shady lanes, cool
streams, fruit filled orchards and gar.

Russia and Japan both refuse to

THE COST OF LIVING.

Mr. Steinkraus of Plainview writes
The News to suggest that it's style
we're putting on, rather than the
things we're eating, that have caused
the monthly expense account to grow
so large. And there's a good deal
in his theory. Necessities of today

1t has long been realized that the
city held a magnetism for the young
people of both sexes. 1t has been
largely the magnetism of pecuniary

are changing. Present prices together
with advantages of rural delivery,

swinging the magnetic pendulum once
more toward the farm.

territory now have hospitals. Ere.

Norfolk needs, and needs badly.

NORFOLK NEEDS MORE HOTELS

Norfolk is in need of more hotel
capacity. That people coming to the
city are unable to find beds, and that
every night of the week, ought to be
enough of an inspiration to some
practical man to supply the demand
for rooms and reap a share of the
harvest. A big, modern hotel ought
to be a paying proposition. Norfolk
is one of the best hotel towns in the
United States for it's size, owing to
the fact that it is gateway to so large
territory, and to the railroads cen.
tering here.

THE IMPORTANT CONSERVATION

There is perhaps no subject which
is more definitely in the public mind
at the present time than "Conserva-
ton" 1t is comparatively new in
America although in other lands it
has long been considered. It's discus.
SION and the interest it is arousing
in every section and among all classes
OF people in this country is significant
in the testimony it bears to the mark
ing of new era in our national life.
Even twenty years ago the subject
would not have attracted a corporal's
guard and even ten years ago when
Clifford Pinchot announced the new
slogan of conservation" he was look.
ed upon as the enthusiastic herald of
impractical things.
But that has all passed. AS a peo-
pie we are recognizing somewhat to
our "hame and humiliation that there
is limit even in the boundless area
Of this magnificent and mighty re-
public to the resources which are here
stored up. We now appreciate the
awful waste which has been going on
in our forests, our streams, our mines
and our broad ranges Of grazing lands
and are eager to stop the devastation
of predatory wealth"
Not only are we aroused to stop
the waste but we are at school to such
practically trained along these lines
to learn how we can make the most
of and conserve the natural resources
which still remain to us.
We are entering upon a stage in our
national career when our prosperity
must depend not upon our exploiting
with lavish hand the tremendous
wealth of resources which have been
given us in our agricultural and tim
Der lands, our water powers and our
ranges, but rather upon our protecting
and saving and fostering of the means
at our command. We must henceforth
meet the world under much the same
condition as other nations have to
meet it.
Great as is the phase of the question
il does not stop with the care of mere
ly material things. We must conserve
our property and our fields and farms
ana industries, but above and beyond
everything else we must conserve hui
manity.
This is the larger thought which is
sending a great nation to school to dis.
cuss the mightiest problem of the
ages-how to save to future genera
tions a strong, healthy, sane, intelli-
gent liberty loving manhood and wo-
manhood which shall mean that Ulti-
mate America shall meet the fondest
dreams of it's founders.
That conservation that concerns it
self with making conditions for the
great body of the people so that equal
opportunities shall environ all; that
shall instil into the minds and hearts
of every boy and girl that practical
service for others is the highest mis-
sion of lfe-this is the conservation
upon which emphasis is to be placed.

Sugar Beets In the Gallatin.

From the Helena Record.
For several years the effort has
been made by progressive residents
OF BOzeman and OF the Gallatin val
ley to establish sugar beet factory
in that country. SO far as tests have
been made it has been demonstrated
that beets can be successfully grown
in the valley and some time ago, when
1t appeared as if all the work in be-
half Of Il factory had been wasted,
there was much disappointment.
Now the news comes that the men
back Of the factory ut Billings, which
has been such Il success, have deter
mined to take up the proposition in
the ';allatin in Il business way, and if
the Gallatin can demonstrate that it
can raise the beets Il factory will be
established in that vicinity. These
men have requested that the ta rmers
OF the Gallatin put in this year :. 900
acres Of sugar beets, the company to
furnish the seed and agreeing 10 pay
81 Il ton for the product ut leading
