While they are talking we would
like to remind the general public that
Devils Lake has thus far showed a
greater percent Of increase in the last
ten years according to census reports,
than Grand Forks. Fargo or any Of the
other cities in North Dakota 1t shows
where the real advancement in the
state is and who is responsible for the
increased population of North Dakota
in large measure.

Over in Ramsey county a public
meeting was held in the opera house
at Devils Lake where the voters and
the members elect of the legislature
met and discussed what is wanted at
the coming session. Two points were
agreed upon-a law whereby public
roads shall be improved under sys-
road work assessment and a recall
system Both are pertinent to the
good of the general public and should
become laws on our statute books.-

AND STILL ANOTHER.

The list still grows. Another viola
tor Of the law pinched. Another In.
stance where local officials did their
duty. New Year resolutions carried
out. A better and cleaner city is
the result.
The last arrest for selling booze
comes at a time when it would seem
that local violators of the law would
have lost their nerve. It seems I'M
believable that men will continually
run their necks into the moose.

" applied science, it is evident that |
the United States, with is millions OF
farm acres, affords a fertilizer market
with boundless opportunities for ex-
pansion.
The problem of the fertilizer manu-
facturer is not-How should | increase
my business by securing from my COM
petitor that which he now enjoys? but
How can increase my facilities for
manufacture so as properly to care
for the twelve and one-half per cert.
natural increase that comes year by
year, through better appreciation by
the farmers of the benefits derive
from increased use of commercial fer
tilizer?
This is the story of the Information
al Agricultural Corporation, with am
Die but not excessive capitalization,
an economically sound organization,
large resources of natural products
and adequate manufacturing capacity
to accomplish useful service In the
supply, manufacture and distribution
of the materials necessary for the
fertilization of American farm soils.

These ARRANGEMENTS, while preserving
the independence of successful lndus-
tries and retaining the benefits OF local
contact with the consumer, are mu-
tually advantageous to the supply
corporation, the local manufacturer
and to his customers.
Growth Of the Industry.
The past rate of increase is, how
ever, no measure OF future increase
for the reason that education in the
proper utilization and value OF ferti-
lizers is proceeding more rapidly thah
ever before, and for the further reas-
on that artificial fertilization, origin
ally regarded as necessity only on
worn-out soils, is now known TO De
profitable Investment under nearly all
circumstances. Whatever the crop
NAV be, II dollar invested in ferti
lizer will produce five dollars In the
form of enhanced production, tha'
form of investment becomes increas

this theory is already seen in the ex
tension of the fertilizer market, ono
confined to the South, to include wes'

Unusual, almost unique, in the cur

phlet just issued by the International
Agricultural Corporation, setting forth
the purposes and organization of the
company and describing its plants and

and how it was organized, and what 1t
is doing. Following are some quota

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Coach on Passenger Train Runs Long
Distance OF Track.


Passengers on w%estbound Northern
Pacific train No. 3 had a narrow es-
cape from death at Mckenzie when a
partially open switch caused the
coaches to spread out over three sets
of tracks and travel in this shape
for 5000 feet. Snow between the rails
prevented the complete closing of the
switch after a freight train left the
siding. No M was injured.
The engine, mail car and front
trucks of the baggage car passed over
the switch safely, but the real trucks
of the baggage car took the first side
track and carried several coaches with
1t. Further along three of the coaches
took the second siding. while a rear
sleeper kept the main track. The
train travelled nearly a mile in this
shape. Couplings pulled out and chains
kept the train together until the air
hose broke, set the brakes and brought
the train to a stop. The derailed a
was half buried in the sand. The en-.
gineer knew nothing of the trouble
until the air hose broke.
The cars on the two sidetracks did
not keep the rails, but ran over the
ties and gave the passengers a gen.
eral shaking up. A relief train was
rushed to the Gene of the accident
and the passengers, mail and baggage
taken to Bismarck.
About a mile of track will have to
be rebuilt before the wrecked cars
can be moved, but there is still one
clear track around the wreck and
traffic win not be delayed.

London. Nov. 22.-Taiyuenfu has

are safe, according to a Shanghai
cable to the Baptist Missionary soci.
ETY..
The town is in Shansi. the same
province as Hsienfu, where about
twenty-five European missionaries
were killed.
1t is believed that the massacre en-.
tended throughout the entire province,
but it seemed to have been directed
against the Manchus, the foreigners
being killed incidentally.
Picking, Nov. 22.-Premier Yuan Shi
Kai is quoted as having told close
friends that he believes the task of
saving the Chinese throne is hopeless.
Since he assumed Office the imperial
cause has continued to lose ground.
The latest rumor that the rebels have
captured Hankow is almost the last
straw. Should Marking go, too. as
seems likely, there will be nothing
left for the imperial court to do but
give up the contest and flee.
News that DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the
arch-revolutionist. and General Homer
Lea, his American military adviser,
are on their way to China from Lon
don has given fresh impetus to the
rebel cause. New China looks upon
DR.. Sun as it's George Washington,
and his absence, with the revolution
actually in progress, has been the one
drag upon the movements to still
speedier and more complete success.
