Farmers are getting out of the old
rut by taking advantage Of scientific
instruction on farming. The North
Dakota farmer is benetittng by the
experiments made By the federal gov
eminent at Washington and by the
state experiment station. Study of
the soils has advanced them in farm
ing to the extent of aiding them in
producing more at less cost. 1t has
enabled them to reclaim waste land
and make it productive. 1t has en-
abled them to SOW, cultivate and reap
intelligently-and to profit in all they

| TO the Editor:
The action of Messrs Patterson, Eek
lund. Webb, Healy and Mckenzie in
attempting to appoint two new county
commissioners without any authority
was not wholly unexpected. 1t is in
line with the series Of shady deals
launched during the past two years
by Mr.. Patterson and those who are
acting with him. The sole object Of
this las move is to retain control of
the Board Of County Commissioners.
The account published in the Trib-
une detailing the contamination of
this last piece of political jobbery lays
considerable stress upon the assertion
that some doubt existed as to the au-
thority for the appointment of the
new county commissioners and the
article winds up with the following:
Attorneys were consulted by the
commissioners and the majority of
them were of the opinion that the Of
ficials were within their power in act
ing as they did" That sounds very
good, indeed. and is intended to en-
phasize the anxiety with which Messrs
Patterson. Ecklund and Webb seek
light on any perplexing phase of
county administration.
But listen: The statute provides
that the states attorney is the legal
advisor of the county commissioners.
Inquiry at the state attorneys office
discloses the startling fact that that
office was not consulted about the
legality of these new appointments.
The newly elected states attorney
says he was approached by County
Commissioner Patterson on the matter
and he told Patterson that the county
commissioners had no authority to
make the appointments, that. the
new commissioners should be elected
was made of Attorneys F.. H. Regis
ter Geo. NJ. Register, Theo. Koffel, w.
F. Cochrane, G. F Dullam, T. R. Mock
Ter, w P. Costello, and all these gen.
tlemen say that they were not con-
suited on this matter by the county
commissioners. 1t is therefore clear
that MeSsrs Patterson, Ecklund, Webb,
Healy and Mckenzie are indulging in
little game of film flam in the hope
and expectation that it will be swal-
lowed by gullible public and that
the job they have Matched up will go
through unchallenged. In this expecta-
ton the gentlemen will be disap.
pointed.
AS stated at the beginning. this plan
to override the plain intent and pur-
pose of the law is in line with other
unlawful acts of this same coterie of
political jobbers during the past two
years.
The initial move took place about
two years ago when Harvey Smith
(Republican) and Fred Korn, Demo
craft were tied for the county COM
missionership of the Second district.
And through the instrumentality of
County Auditor Healy, both Smith and
Korn were buncoed out of the commits

DYSPEPSIA Vanish

You can eat anything your stomach
Graves without fear of Indigestion or
Dyspepsia, or that your food will fer
ment or sour on your stomach, If you
will take a little Diapepsin occasion
ally.
Your meals will taste good, and any.
thing you eat will be digested; moth
ing can ferment or turn into acid or
poison or stomach gas, which causes
Belching, Dizziness, a feeling of full
ness after eating Nausea, Indigestion
like lump of lead in stomach), Bill
liousness, Heartburn, Water brash,
Pain in stomach and intestines or
other symptoms.
Headaches from the stomach are
absolutely unknown where this effect
i've remedy is used. Diapepsin really
does all the work Of healthy stom-
ach. 1t digests your meals when
your stomach can't. A single dose
will digest all the food you eat and
leave nothing to ferment or sour and
upset the stomach.
Get large 5O-cent case of Papeis
Diapepsin from your druggist and
start taking now, and in little while
you will actually brag about your
healthy, strong stomach, for you then
can eat anything and everything you
want without the slightest discom-
fort or misery, and every particle of
impurity and gas that is in your stom-
ach and intestines is going to be car
ried away without the use of laxatives
or any other assistance.
Should you at this moment be suf'
fering from Indigestion or any stom-
ach disorder, you can get relief within
five miutes.

DOWN ON THE FARM.

Phenomenal success in farming ana
the prevailing high prices in farm pro-
ducts have caused many to seek In
yestments in improved North Dakota
farming lands. Many farmers sons
as has been the case for years-con'
tinue to leave the farm. They seek
employment in commercial and indus
trial fields But to offset this there is
a tendency among people in the cities
to engage in farming.
For great many years the sons OF
farmers left the farm at an alarming
rate. Indeed so large a number were
leaving annually that thoughtful and
observant people sought to find the
cause. Many reasons were assigned
The most common one was the failure
on the part of fathers to adequately
compensate their sons for the service
they rendered.
At the time, however, when so many
we're leaving the farm-to the great
alarm of the countrywide farm indus
try was at a low ebb and the farmers
had to make every edge cut to escape
runious debt.
The drudgery of farm work with lit
tie compensation caused the boys to
seek more inviting fields of endeavor
but as the years went by a change
for the better came Improved meth
DDS in farming took the place of the
old way. Prices of products advanced.
1t soon became worth while to be
farmer. Then it was the farmer boys
concluded to remain on the farm. Not
SO many are leaving North Dakota
homesteads now as in days gone by.
Farm lands are higher now and in
greater demand than ever beforehand
the reason is not hard to find. Pros
perity and contentment among the
farmers and a desire among them to
retain their farms-With an increasing
demand from other cities for farm
property, combine to advance the
price of farms.
1t is astonishing how farm values
have increased during the past ten
years. In some notable instances,
where farms sold for $4,000 to $4,000
then, they are now selling from $4,000
60 $4,000. Because of the advancing
price, improved and desirable farms
have changed hands repeatedly.
The farmer seems to have come into
his own. He is making money. He

sionership and Mr. Webb appointed to
succeed himself as commissioner by
Patterson. Ecklund. Healy and Nc
Kenzie, acting as an appointing board.
The next one of the series Of petty
political Outrages was when Auditor
Healy refused point blank to accept
for filing the petition OF Thomas w.
Conner, signed by some three hundred
electors of Burleigh county. asking
that his (O'Connor's) name be placed
upon the general election ballot this
fall as an individual nomination as
provided by law. In this case O'Connor
was compelled to resort to the district
court for a writ of mandamus to re.
quire Healy to do his duty, and Healy
and his hackers were thus Wefeated
in their plan to keep O'Connor off the
ballot.
Next in order came the refusal Of
Healy to have the names of certain
county candidates printed on the Of
fetal ballot for the last general cleo
tion Again it was necessary to ap.
ply to the district court for a writ Of
mandamus to compel Healy to act in
accordance with the plain require
ments of the statute. and in this man
ner he was compelled to have the
names of the complaining candidates
printed; although his neglect and re-
fusal to do so in the first place re-
suited in additional expense Of sew
eral hundred dollars for reprinting and
delivery Of the corrected ballots,
which. by the way ,Healy or his
bondsmen should be required to make
good.
And now comes the last and final
act of petty jobbery participated in by
the same bunch. viz. Patterson Eek
lund. Webb. Healy and Mckenzie, by
which it is aimed to retain the con-
troll of the board Of county commits
sioners by the illegal appointment Of
two of Ed Patterson's cronies, Webb
and Davies. by whose aid Patterson
figures on controlling the board of
county commissioners for the next two
years.
I do not know how long the PEG.
pie of Burleigh county will stand for
this kind of business; but it seems
an intolerabe condition of affairs
where public officials under oath to
honestly and faithfully perform their
duties, resort to shady political trick
cry to obtain what they believe to be
political advantage, and persistently
ignore the law of the state and the
rights of the people in order to main.
tain political ascendency.
1t seems to me it is about time that
the activities of Patterson and his
associates in these practices be
brought to a halt.

REV, HARRIS LECTURES
ON THE PASSION PLAY
DELIVERED LECTURE AT JAMES,
TOWN AND VALLEY
CITY,
Receives Many Warm Words Of Praise
For His Efforts, and His Hearers
Are DeIjohted.

Rev. Charles w. Harris returned last
night from lecture trip in the eastern
part of the state where he has been
delivering his illustrated lecture on the
Passion Play. He lectured at Valley
City in the Congregational church and
then came up to Jamestown, where
he lectured Thursday evening under
the auspices of jamestown college. He
was greeted by large houses at both
places and delighted his hearers with
his address and with the handsome
views with which his lecture is illus.
trated
Following is clipping from the
Valley City Times-Record anent his
lecture at that place:
Last night in the Congregational
church Charles Willis Harris delivered

seen the play this last summer and
studied the situation at first hand His
thorough knowledge of the conditions
make possible his splendid interpreta.

rid of it as you are to get it.
The question is frequently asked
(which is the safer way to send mon
cy, by registered letter or money or
der?" The answer is a money order,
of course. While not one registered
letter in /; million is lost, the situation
is simply this: Suppose you send a
registered letter containing 500 and
the train should be wrecked or the
post Office be destroyed by fire with
your letter, you would receive $50 If
you could prove there was that much
in it, while had you sent money or
der, though the issuing and paying Of
flee both be swept from the face of
the earth, the 500 would still be
paid, for it is certainty itself.
