ADDRESSED Meeting

FARGO, Dec. 29.-One hundred
and fifty persons attended the ban.
quet given last night at the Com
mercial club by the Pioneer Life In
surance company to its agents for
their work during the past year. 1t
was a well appointed affair carried
out in a splendid manner under the
direction of Vice President Thomas
Hughes of the company and those
associated with him in making the
arrangements.
The tables were nicely arranged
the principal decorations being car
nations and ferns, and at each plate
was a horn, to which was attached
a card wA4ch had on one side a pic
ture of buffalo, the emblem of the
Pioneer Life and on the other the
words "Toot for the Pioneer Life.
The menu was an elaborate one.
At the speakers table We're Presi-
dent William A. Scott; Vice Presi-
dent Thomas Hughes, Secretary
Feckler, Governor John Burke. Pres.
ident Hardy of the Commercial club,
Senator wesley Mcdowell and sew
eral others.
President Scott opened the speech
making by thanking all for their pre-
sence, whereupon everybody footed
his horn. Mr.. Scott said that the
object of the banquet was to get the
agents and people of the city togeth-
er 30 that they would know each
other better.
Governor John Burke was guest
of honor for the evening and deliv-
cred a splendid address.
"The word pioneer appeals to all
as indicative of strength said the
governor. "The strongest ties we
have are the ties woven in the warp
and woof of adversely, and every pio-
neer must know adversely.
"'But the strong man only grows
stronger in adversely. There ia a
period in any new country. and this
IL true likewise Of any pioneer con-
cern, when nature seems to set her
face against the pioneer, when every
thing seems to conspire in the effort
to drive him out. But on the other
hand when nature finds out that the
man will not be driven out then she
seems to conspire to pour into his
lip every blessing.
THE Pioneer Life Co. has passed
through it's period of adversely and
is now reapfng the reward of the
pioneer who would not be driven
out"
Governor Burke told at length Of
his trip through the east in which
North Dakota was boosted all the
time. He stated that the western
governors were received with open
arms and treated In q royal manner.
THE east is beginning to realize"
said the governor, that they need

REPUBLICANS Plan ...
OLD time BATTLE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Since
their own future, as we'll as that of
President Taft, is 'at stake In the ma
tional campaign next year. influen-
tial republican representatives are
working to galvanize the party into
its famous old facility of getting to-
gether'' on the eve of battle. A re-
publican caucus of members Of the
house and senate will be called soon
after congress reassembles on Jam
uary 3. The developments of this
caucus will give direction to the policy
of the republican congressional CON-
mIttee, which will direct the fight for
the congressional side of next years
election. Efforts are being made to
obtain "a greater recognition for the in
surgents in the membership of the
committee.
Representative William B. McKin-
ley of Illinois, chairman Of the COM
mittee, is now expected to continue
in that Office. Representative John
w. Dwight of New York, who was
mentioned as possible SUCCESSOR
should Mr.. Mckinley retire, or as vice
chairman in charge of the eastern
campaign, has declined even to be-
come New York's representative on
the committee. New York has no rep
resentative now, as J. Van Vechtep
Olcott was defeated In the last cleo
tion. The New York delegation Will
meet early in January, and Represen-
tative George w. Fairchdd Of Oneonta
it is said, will be named to represent
New York on the committee.
Many members Of congress feel
that the past policy of the committee
has been influenced too largely by the
personal associations of The men
prominent in it's management. Almost
without exception they we're staunch

ans complained that their candidates
got no assistance from this element.
The new idea is to extend impartially
the committees assistance to every
candidate for congress on the repub-
lican ticket and to give greater in

surgent wing Of tn party 50 potent

nized the battle must be fiercely

mittee already has established head

be made to bring the republican COM
mittee into equally close touch With

Land Leaving
HURTS FRANCE

+ PARIS, Dec. 29.-France. like the
United States, is suffering from a
drift of farmers boys to the towns
and cities. This has brought about
: a decrease of the birth rate even in
the most rural communities In the
department of the Disc, for example,
the falling away in the births threat.
ems the existence of the small hold.
ings 1t is possible to exploit the
land on large scale-as is done in
the western part Of the United
States-only when labor is plentiful
and easily procurable, and the disap.
pearance of large families in France
is rendering farming more and more
difficult.
Conscri3tion is held partly respon-
sible for the drift of the country.
The young soldiers are initiated in
to the pleasures of city life. and
wnen their term is over they will not
return to their native fields. An
other cause of the exodus is the raw
age of the vineworm, which for
twenty years has destroyed vine
yards. A third reason for the scar
city of labor is the craze to own
land To satisfy it the field laborer
buys as soon as he has saved the
money. When he gets enough land
to make a living as a gardener he
settles there. --4e land, too, is
growing too valuable for ordinary
farming with standard crops. Plow-
ing land brings from $3.50 to $1,000
an acre, and pasture land fetches
$50 Oan acre. In the mountain dist
riots it is worth 500 an acre Mead
ows planted with fruit trees range
from $3.50 to 81. 500 an acre. Hop
plantations are worth up to $1,000
an acre. and basket willow planta-
tions sell for as much as $500 an
acre.
In Burgundy vineyards are sold
for $4,000 an acre. Along The River
Loire vineyards may be purchased at
$1,000 an acre. Land for market
gardens ranges from $500 to $2.50O
an acre. All of these prices are low
er than those which prevailed twen.
ty years ago. The abolishment of
primogeniture century ago has
gradually led to the parceling out of
the land in small plots On the
coast of the department of Morbihan.
it has come to be considered a degra-
dation not to own land According
ly no one will sell, and it not rare
to see a single field with forty or
fifty owners. In Limogue, in the Puy
de Dome district. the land is thus
cut up to an almost incredible ex-
tent.
As far back as 1888, in the depart
ment of the Bassess Pdrenees, the
parliament Of Pau declared every in
habitant was a land owner. The
Basdues are the only prolific race
left in France. and many of their
young men are emigrating to Ameri.
