After Worlds Exposition

The contest between New Or
leans and San Francisco for the
Worlds Panama Exposition in
1915 runs merily on. The New
Orleans Exposition Committee is
distributing throughout the country
a logical point map" according
to which there are seventy cities
within an average distance of 900
miles from New Orleans, with q
combined population of 20,000,-
600, while within the same average
distance Of San Francisco there are
only eight cities, having a COM
bined population of 1000, 900 peo-
pie. New Orleans principal claim
is that if the Exposition be given
to San Francisco the people of this
country would be penalized $780,
600, 900 in. railroad fare over what
it would cost to 60 to the Crescent
City.

Good Flowing

Why plow9 It loosens up the
soil, exposing more of it to be
acted on by sun, air and frost.
Stubble and weed seed are buried,
and $50 changed to humus. The
water holding capacity of the soil
is increased, and rainfall can get
into plowed ground easier and fas-
ter. On deep blowing heavier
rainfall can get in without run off
than on shallow plowing.
Do not take a wider furrow than
the plow will, cnt. Thoro blowing
pays. It is also good practice to
disc right after harvest; this puts
the ground in better shape for
blowing. 4

Suicide

Time was when even reputable
merchants lacked full candor in
their advertising. 1t was argued
by people with ridiculous ideas of
the aims and purposes of advertis-
ing-that the people would only
believe small part of what an
advertiser claimed, anyhow; hence
it behooves him to exaggerate ac-
cordingly, so that after the readers
deductions for exaggerations had
been literally made, a basis of
truth would remain.
As this was always false argu-
ment, it has been exploded-to
stay exploded.
Self-respecting, thinking people
are the people who read ads
nowadays. And to deliberately
mis-state a fact in advertising now
is simply q species OF attempted
business suicide. -.
A store which would thus for
felt the confidence or respect of all
honest people would soon find out
that there were not enough dis
honest people-or of people who
would condone dishonest advertis-
ing-in this town to support the
smallest store in it.
You may read the ads nowadays
with the satisfying knowledge
that advertisers realize that false
hood is business suicide-unfail-
ingly. u
Candid advertising is necessary
nowadays. :.

DOES IT PAY
TO RRlCATE? II;
SIXTY ACRES GIVES A CROP WORTH
s2,034-.ALFAlFA CROP WAS TIE
GREATEST MONEY MAKER

s. Brownell threshed the crop on
his farm two miles north Of the
city recently and the results will
be of interest to everyone living
under the ditch as we'll as to those
interested in this work. Mr..
Brownell had sixty acres of land
which he was able to irrigate we'll
and he secured from this land 900
bushels of wheat, 46 bushels of al
falfa seed and 60 tons of alfalfa.
At present market prices this
would total up to $2034. Taking
from this the total charge asked
per year for the irrigation, S. per
acre or $500 we have left $1734.
Not such bad little sum from 60
acres. The cost of putting in the
crop and harvesting it probably
amounted to three or say four
hundred dollars. After paying
this we would have $1,000 or a
profit of about twenty dollars to
the acre.
OF course all farmers under the
ditch were not able to go ahead as
Mr.. Brownell did and get in good
shape for water but the returns
from this sixty acre tract goes to
prove what can be done with irri-
cation and what returns q man can
expect for his work.

Water Users Hold Meeting

The directors of the local water
users association held a meeting at
their Office Friday and after care
ful review of the situation passed
resolutions instructinG the secre-
tary to use every effort to obtain q
deferred system Of payments for
the seatlers under the project. The
object is to make such an arrange
ment as will allow the settler to
use water several years without
other costs than maintenance. In
this way the land can be we'll pre-
pared for water and people can
accumulate sufficient funds to meet
the payments when such payments
will be required. Cards will be
sent out to every holder of land
under the project and the terms
set forth in order to find out the
number who would be willing to
take out applications for water
were such concession obtained.

Recently published statistics IN
dicate that our sister state of South
Dakota has made almost as great a
proportionate progress, and, as her
area is some 1000 square miles
more than that of North Dakota,
a doubling of the figures in the
North Dakota column, so far as
vote, population and rail mileage
are concerned, would very closely
approximate the actual present
conditions in that area formerly
known as the territory of Dakota,
thus still more forcibly accentuat-
ing the progress made during the
past twenty-five years. Along
agricultural lines the parity be-
tween the two states has been we'll
maintained, although the culture
of corn has largely superseded that
of spring wheat in the more south
ern commonwealth, while spring
wheat and fax have come to the
front in the northern state.

Saratoga, N. r., Sept. 27.-
Theodore Roosevelt today defeated
Vice President Sherman for tenn

state convention.
Roosevelt was in his element.
After he had named the members
of the three important committee

to meet tomorrow, the colonel
turned to the newspaper men and
remarked:
You may recall that l said
'frazzle.' You may quote me on
that"
At Troy yesterday the former
president said he would beat his
opponents to frazzle.
There were 1,O11 votes cast in
the convention today, of which
Roosevelt received 568 and Vice.
President Sherman received 443,
thus electing the leader of the pro-
gressives by majority of 1885,,
Colonel Roosevelt did not vote.
Mr.. Sherman voted for John Doe
and two of the New York county
delegates did not respond when
their names we're called.
The vote as officially announced
at the convention gave Roosevelt
567 and Sherman AS, but an error
in the count was discovered tonight.

NORTH DAK0TA'S. STRIDE
LAST QUARTER CENTURY
CONDITIONS TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO AS COMPARED
WITH TODAY SHOW THAT The STATE HAS COME
FORWARD REMARKABLY IN MANY WAYS


North Dakota's progress in 25
years are aptly covered in the
North Dakota magazine just placed
in circulation. 1t compares the
conditions at present with those Of
a quarter of a century ago, and the
figures and facts shown are intense
ly interesting. Here is the story:
1T has been said that compar-
isons are odious. In many in
stances doubtless they are, but BY
no means always. For example,
when these comparisons shown
conclusively the wonderful pro-
gress of a new state, no possible
harm, but, on the contrary, much
good, can be accomplished by
drawing attention to the lesson
taught. A case in point is that Of
North Dakota, and it is believed
that a few figures illustrating the
present agricultural condition Of
the state, as compared with that Of
a quarter of a century ago, will
prove of interest to our readers,
and perhaps impress upon them
with added weight the ceaseless
evolution which is continuously
being carried on in the busy west.
In 1885 there was issued, by
authority of Governor Pierce, un-
der the title, Dakota" a ninety
page brochure, presenting in pre-
else and explicit form compen-
dium of information concerning
the territory which was later di-
vided into the two states of North
and South Dakota. The figures
given in the pamphlet refer to the
preceding year of 1884, and may
be relied upon as being the most
accurate obtainable at that time.
They refer, of course, to the whole
territory, a fact which should be
borne in mind when analyzing their
import:

Indeed, the readers %of the modern
newspaper owe much to the advertiser,
for it is not too much to say that the
making Of the modern newspaper, with
its cables from abroad, its various de-
partments of interest. its wide informa-
ton, and the aid it is able to give in the
comprehension of public questions would
be impractieable without the advertiser.
But in the competition for wide pub
LEFTY even, the advertiser must have some
regard for public opinion. and that, it
has been amply demonstrated, draws the
line at defacing the landscape. The Ma

has just closed its convention in Cincin-

be commended stand against the posting

To Americans. Giuseppe Garibaldi must
always remain an interesting character.
The Italian patriot had in his makeup
very much of that same love Of liberty
and Of country that was found TO such a
great degree in the patriots Of our own
land during the latter part Of the eight
zenith century. While he labored with
much less success than came TO the pa
triots of the American colonies, yet lib
erty and justice were so indelibly stamp
ed in him that he has gained the admira-
ton Of the world. even Of those with
whom he waged his most fierce conflicts.
Garibaldi, after conducting a campaign
against tyranny for more than half a
century. expired on June 2, 1852, at Cap
rera. where he spent the quiet days Of his
life when not pursuing his crusades. He
was a sailors son. and. like most such,
adopted the sea as HIS calling. He was
barely more than twenty years Of age
when he became interested in the italian
national movement which afterward be-
came the great passion Of his life.
With several other young Italian lead
ers he became imbued with an unquench-
able hatred of despotism. His first effort
in this direction was the futile outbreak
at Genoa in 1884, and its failure compelled
him to flee to France. His results at
home for liberty being unsuccessful, he
sailed for South America, where he took
an active part IN the struggle Of the new
republic of Uruguay against the Argen-
tinian dictator, Manuel Rosas.
Hearing from home Of the rising OF
Northern Italy against Austria in lS4S, he
FASTENED TO Italy TO share in the strug-
giles OF his countrymen. He bore an ef-
fective part In the whole Of the Sardin-
ian campaign as the commander OF a
volunteer corps. He then joined the revo-
lutionary government at Rome and dis
tinguished himself by the defense Of the
city against the French in 1919.
After a retreat of unparalleled difficult
~ through districts occupied by Austrian
troops, Garibaldi, accompanied by his
heroic wife. set sail in small fishing
craft toward Venice; but being pursued
by Austrian vessels, they were compelled
to land where they could. and rot far
from the shore his wife. exhausted by
the dangers and terrible exertions Of their
flight. expired in the arms Of her hus-
band.
