worked their corn ground as much
as possible. and the soft dirt on the

House Kills Senate Revenue Bill.

The revenue bill. by Senator Old
ham. which passed the senate during
the first week of the extra session,
was put to death in the house by way
of the indefinite postponement route.
The purpose of the bill, which was
the first one to be passed by the SEN
ate in the extra session, was to meet
the governors request for provision
for additional revenue to meet cur
rent expenses. The chief objection
raised against the bill in the house
was the alleged increase of taxes pro-
yided for and the giving of the aud
itor power to fix the tax levy from

STAMP SALE SHOWS
BUSINESS INCREASE
STAMP SALE RECEIPTS or FARGO
PosToFFIcE FOR JULY S HOW
DECIDED INCREASE OVER LAST
YEAR, WHICH MEANS BUSINESS
INCREASE IN CITY.

It is most encouraging to know that
the stamp sale receipts Of the Fargo
postoffice for the month of July, just
past. show a decided increase over the
stamp sale receipts for the correspond
ing month of 1910, which in itself was
considered good month and an in
crease over the year before.
The stamp sale receipts for the
month Of July just past amounted to
S9,367.21. The stamp sale receipts for
the corresponding month of 1910 were
sS,133.44, making an increase of
$1,233.77, or an increase Of Is per cent.
This is most encouraging news to
Fargo business men, as generally by
the increase in the stamp sale receipts
Of the postof1ice department is guaged
the percentage OF increase of the city's
volume of business. If the city has
made general increase of is per cent
in its general volume of business, the
city business men and merchants
ought to feel well pleased and realize
that the outlook for the coming months
of the summer and the autumn will be
much better.

AYR KICKER
Is ANSWERED
MAN WHO PUT UP A HOWL
ABOUT CONDITIONS or ROADS
AND cRITIcisEs FARGO AUTO
CLUB HAS NOT GIVEN ONE
CENT TOWARD HELPING CLUB.

II notice that a Kicker from Ayr
has communication in the morning
paper in which he roasts the Fargo
Auto club, to a dark brown fragile"
said the chairman Of the good roads
committee Of the club this morning.
HE says that the roads are not
kept IN shape, and puts up howl
about being tax payer and being as
sessed on his auto etc. If this man
would send his membership card along
with kick to the Fargo Auto club
he might receive more consideration
AS a matter of fact every member
of the Fargo Auto club pays taxes
on their autos the same as this man,
and in addition to that each man pays
into the club $40 per year that is ex-
pended on the roads running out of
Fargo. This man who makes such a
howl does not pay q cent toward the
the first man to yell.
1.-THE only money that the Fargo
club has to expend on good roads is
from memberships and not a cent Is
received from taxes or any other
sources.
1.-THE Fargo Auto club has many
out Of town members but there are
none at Ayr. These out of town mem
bers help with their membership fees
and any Of them would have a right to
criticise the club, but it comes with
very poor grace, to say the least, from
a man who gets some BENEFITS of the
efforts of the Fargo Auto club to
criticise that club, when he pays
nothing.
1.-THE reason the Mapleton road was
in poor condition at the particular
time the man used it, was because the
team that went out to level off that
road was driven in by another heavy
rain and unbeknown to the club au-
thorities did not go out again.
Members of the club have worked
hard and faithfully this summer, put
! ting in lots of time for which they
have not received cent compensation,
and spending their own good money
in the task Of keeping the roads in as
good condition as possible and this is
the thanks they get"

FOUND NEAR STATION
ST. Paul Man Found Asleep Near N. P.
Station and Taken Into Custody
Face Badly Scratched.

J. o. Leninger, giving his address
as St. Paul, was brought before Judge
Miller in police court this morning,
charged with drunkenness. The man
was badly scratched about the face, be-
ing severely bruised about the left eye
and had big ugly scratch on his
left cheek.
He was found asleep near the NOR
thern Pacific station last night and
brought to the police station. He was
fined IS or given four days in jail, but
the sentence was later suspended pro-
vided he would return to his work in
the harvest fields. which he said he
would do.
Leninger stated his home was in st.
Paul and that he had come to North
Dakota for the summer to work in the
harvest fields, and had secured employ
ment near Leonard. He said he had
taken the train for Fargo early yes
terday afternoon and had come here
just to spend the evening and see the
sights as he longed for a. glimpse OF
city life again. Having spent his money
and losing his train back, he had fallen
asleep near the N. P. station where he
was picked up by the police depart
ment and taken into custody.
The delinquent told Chief Bowers this
morning, as well as Judge Miller, thai
this was his first offense and he would
behave hereafter. He seemed pleasant
enough about his case, acknowledged
ne was charged with being drunk, anC
said he had received his scratches ant
bruises in an accident on the threshei
recently. The man talked well and wa
of generally good appearance.

CROP REPORTS
MISCONSIRUED
JUDGE HEMMls or JAMESTOWN,
SAYS, IN a LETTER THAT EAST
ERNERs GET WRONG IMPRESS
sIoNs - JUDGE ALSO WISHES
FOR NO MORE BUMPER CROPS.

jamestown Capital To the Editor:
The following is the substance of
part OF letter which ! just wrote
to my brother, and which 1t might be
well for some farmers to read:
jamestown, N. d.. Aug. 8. 1911. p.
A Hemni. Humbird, Wis. Dear
Brother: Yours of July 20 to
hand. and note what you say con-
corning North Dakota You are, like
many others in eastern states, very
much mistaken when you say that
North Dakota is on the bum" 1t is
true that crops are bad in some To-
calities, but the Red river valley and
the north half Of the state is blessed
with good crop, while the rest Of the
state has poor crops in places and
fair in other places. In our own coun-
ty, (Stutsman), believe we will have.
on the average, what call half crop.
You have been reading exaggerated
reports of failures in certain localities,
and then apply those reports to the
whole state. The state as a whole is
all right, and the grief stricken dis
tricts will soon recover from the eff
fects of this years failure.
SAAAANA <1&1 OAA SGLAAEA- put H dbOub
right when he said that he hoped we
would have no more bumper crops. /"
He meant that these bumper crops
cause all the farmers to go into grain
raising exclusively. The sooner the
farmers learn to go into diversified
farming the better it will be for the
country. They must come to 1t, and
I believe that many of them have al
ready commenced which is to their
advantage. know it is difficult for
the poor man to make the change, but
If he possibly can do it, / am certain
he will win by it.
We had to do that very thing in
Wisconsin, and we saw the improved
conditions in few years. and the
great advance in land values as well
You can easily remember, when $50 an
acre was considered big price for our
little farm in Sank county, and now II
is worth between sos and $40 per acre
What made it worth so much morei
Not a single market any nearer. 1t was
the changed methods OF farming thai
did it, and it will do the same in North
Dakota. Fraternally yours,
]. u. Hemmi.
