been the Mecca Of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can.
ada has the price of lands increased,
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have In
creased from three to five dollars an
acre. with the prospect of a similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent,
and In n few words It may be pointed
out that the lands are worth a great
deal more than the present prices.

Some Grand Forks deputy state veleri-
marian nus have been asleep for some
time. There has been an order in North
Dakota for a year compelling all ship
pers of cattle, from any state. into our
state, to submit such stock to a tubercu-
lin test before entering our borders. un-
less such owner has a certificate Of
health from the Bureau of Animal In
dustry. However. this veterinarian from
the northeast tells us that the order is
effective from January /. 1912, and
that it is on account of the recommen-
dation in Illinois of the adjustment of
the tuberculin test for that state. 1t is
true that Illinois made a recommended
ton to let the bars down. but that has
nothing to do directly with North Da-
kota, where the law requires inspection
on cattle from any and all states. and
this law has been operative for a year.

FREE BUT NOT REFORMED

The practice of %pardoning convicted
criminals has long been a subject of
criticism and, if anything more were
needed to convince the people of the
state that this is wrong, the occurrences
of the past few weeks should furnish it.
At the last meeting of the pardon board
thirty seven inmates of the state peni-
Tertiary were either freed or had SEN
fences communicative most wholesale
pardoning episode or record.
One of these. William Kell, was sent
up in 1909 for ten years for a fiendish
attack upon a Williams county school
teacher. He was tried and found guilty.
But the pardon board saw fit to give
him his liberty and in less than a week
he is in Jail again charged with unlaw-
full cohabitation, never having left the
penitentiary city. This time the
woman in the case is a Mrs. Atlak
Bervan of Sentinel Butte. who went to
Bismarck to enter a hospital but who
met Kell at a hotel and forgot her er'
rand. Kell was tried in the courts and
found guilty of a heinous crime by
jury who heard all the evidence.

were, competent to judge of his quilt

CONSERVATION OF WEALTH

The North Dakota Development League
at Grand Forks gives the following adj
vice which is especially good for West
ern North Dakota:
Every resident Of North Dakota should
buy at home, price and quality being
right. We believe that home products
should be eiveE preference even if
prices are a fraction higher than those
at which outide goods are offered. be-
cause the home merchants are helping
to support the activities of their COM
munities. There is no reason or excuse
for not buying at home if the goods are
right and the prices fair.
If what is wanted cannot be pur-
chased at home, then loyal North Dako-
tans should turn to the larger North Oa-
kota cities for these purchases, but first
they should be sure. that local markets
cannot supply the demand.
Retailers should practice in their buy
ing that which they constantly. preach to
their customers. that is, home buying.
They should buy from North Dakota
wholesalers and manufacturers. buy in
their home state. Be loyal to home
towns and counties and to North Dakota
and its people.
Make North Dakota dollars build up
North Dakota. That is true conservation
of state wealth.
