WOMAN IN WILD
RIDE TO DOCTOR
Son Injured, She Does not Mind
Own Wounds in Bringing
Him to City.

Rugby, N. d., Sept. 3O.-With
blood flowing from wounds
which she herself sustained,
Mrs. w. J. Marlton made wild
drive of fifteen miles to this
city to bring her young son,
Thomas, aged 10, to physicians
that wounds which he received
in the accidental discharge of a
shotgun might be given atten-
tion. The woman fell uncon.
scious as her task was done.
At the Marlton home young
lady paying a visit there was
given permission to shoot a
heavy shotgun. The concus-
sion proved too much and che
was thrown back, and in at.
tempting to regain her balance
che pulled the other trigger, the
charge striking Thomas Marl-
ton in one arm aud the side.
while Mrs. Marlton received
numerous shot in the chest and
limbs, and was bleeding pro.
fusely as she made the drive to
bring her son to the city for
medical attention.

EXTRACTS FROM
BLLlOTT'S SPEECH
High Official [of the N, P. Ry.
Gives an Interesting Talk
at the Fair.

The guest of honor at the
Fair last week was Howard
Elliott, President of the North.
ern Pacific Railroad.
President Elliott made an ad-
dress on the Fair grounds,
which we would like to publish
in full, but lack of room pre-.
vents. The following are among
the things he said.
y Farming and railroad
ing are the two most important
forms of business in the United
States. They are more import.
ant than all other business IN
vulues represented. in the
volume of their transactions,
and in their relation to the vel
fare of the country. Farming
is the greater business, pro.
ducing last year a gross reve-
nue. which was more than three
times as great as the earnings
of all the railroads in the United
States.
y y The annual value of
farm products has nearly doub-
led in eleven years.
*** Farming gives oppor-
tunities for a life more whole.
some and independent than
does any other occupation.
*** Here in the Northwest
the railroads are joining hands
with the farmer to bring about
increased yields, to learn what
will produce the best profits on
varying soils and in different
localities and to aid the farm.
ing communities to gain the
latest and best knowledge con.
nected with agriculture.
y y Wheat YIELDS of foreign
countries show that the Ameri.
can farmer has not yet in any
state brought his production to
the average it should reach.
The average production of the
United Kingdom for the ten
year period ending in 1909 was
33 bushels per acre. Ger.
many's average for the same
period was 28.9. The average
in the United States was III.
About the same ratio being true
in other crops.
n The farmer should not
forget that to nearly double the
farm output in eleven years,
has made necessary a great in.
crease in the amount of work
done by the railroads, and re.
quired greater facilities and
efficiency. The ton. mile, or
number of tons of freight NOV
ed one mile, is the unit with
which to measure the freight
service afforded by railroads.
The value of farm products has
nearly doubled, but the ton
miles Of American railroads
have more than doubled since
1898. The heavier stress upon
the railroads did not begin then
however, but has steadily in
creased for many years. Since
1888 the ton. miles have increas.
ed 3A per cent. In 1883 the
average rate for moving ton
of freight one mile was 1.OOl
cents. Last year it was .755
cents or 25 per cent less. The
railroads of this country are
moving a ton and a third of
freight today for what it costs
to move q ton in 1888.
How small the present freight
rate is can be illustrated by
saying that for the cost of a
two.cent postage stamp, the
Northern Pacific Railway at it's
average rate, will move one ton
a little more than two and a

destructive rather than con-
structive have been given rath-
er wide circulation throughout
this state and the northwest
generally, the following state
ment from the president of our
own state university is very
timely. President McVey says:
"Aboat six months ago, MIR.
Crane of Chicago, who just
now is SO much quoted, issued
apamphlet, inveighing against
the employment of college men
in the industries, his argument
being that they were untitled
by their college life for bust.
ness calling. He has now fol-
lowed his earlier utterances by
the recent interview on the~de.
pravity of college men. 1t will
be remembered that this is the
Mr.. Crane who was appointed
minister of China and after
wards recalled by President
Taft before he took steamer
from San Francisco. So much
for Mr.. Crane. Something of
what he says is true. yet Mr..
Crane seeks not so much the
betterment of the college as to
give them body blow that
will shake public confidence in
institutions of learning. He
forgets entirely the larger body
of students who are following
their studies conscientiously
each day.
There is some dissipation in
colleges, but my observation
has been that it is limited to
small percentage of the men in
attendance, while the attitude
of every college administration
is strongly against such con.
duct on the part Of students.
Comparison with the college
life of a quarter of a century
ago brings out the fact that
moral standards are higher in
colleges than in the past; the
same observation is true of the
conduct of business and profes-
sional men, everywhere there
has been general uplift. To
colleges are sent a few young
men whom parents have been
unable to control, their habits
before their entrance upon ac-
ademic life would not be credit
able to any community. yet the
college is blamed for what is
later called the downfall of the
young man. On the other
hand, there will be found i'm
every college, (the larger per-
centage of the students in my
opinion), men who have before
them the highest ideals and
whose every day life is absolute.
ly blameless. These are the
men who are overlooked, and
for whom the institution of
learning is conducted, the 9th
ers are the serum that would
come to the surface, whether
in college or elsewhere. There
is no other place, Mr.. Crane to
the contrary, where a boy is
brought under so many ennobl-
ing influences as in college.
"When all is said and done,
the college trained man will
take care of himself, if he can.
not, his education is not alone
to blame, but the responsibility
mustb shared by public school,
family, and community. In the
University of North Dakota

man and Child.
The state seems to be waking
up to the knowledge of it's op
portunities. Various organiza.
tions are being formed to bring
actual facts of North Dakota's
wealth and her opportunities
to the notice of the world.
Whether these consist of COM
mercial clubs. land shows, corr
contests, development leagues
or 500 per acre clubs, all should
be encouraged.
North Dakota has not had
the amount of advertising it is
entitled to. Our citizens have
been too modest and the great
advantages to be obtained here
have not been heralded broad.
cast throughout the country. It
is time that a change occurred.
Golfers Weekly recently con.
tained a statement that the per
capita wealth of North Dakota
was $1,93t for each individual
in the state, being the highest
average of any state in the
union. This :e remarkable be
cause of the fact that the wealth
of the state is generally dissem
mated. There are no million
aires, but greater portion of
inhabitants can be found here
who are worth from 5000 to
$4,000 each than in any other
portion of the United States,
and consequently in the world.
The lessons of the past in re-
gard to not conserving the
moisture, deeper cultivation Of
the soil, preparing good seed
beds, securing the best of seed
and the rotation of crops should
have their effect in increasing
the productiveness of the state.
In every com munity there are
farmers who have succeeded,
even during dry seasons, in
raising good crops where their
neighbors have failed because
ofthe improved methods, which
the former have practiced. 1t
behooves everyone to h he e d
these lessons and improve their
own conditions.
There are many farmers too
who are tempted to cultivate
too many acres. They should
secure greater profit from
carefully handling one.half of
the acreage which they now
merely scratch.
If a farmer raises wheat it
takes from five to seven bushels
to pay his expenses and the
number of bushels he can raise
over the cost is where his profit
comes in. Suppose every farm.
er in the state was to add one
half bushel to his yield per
acre it would add 100000 if not
$750,OO0 to the annual product
of the state and that extra pro.
duct would add from S. to Sc to
every acre of respond.
When land produces annually
a crop worth from $50 to $25 an
acre it is nonsensical to consid.
er a price of $50 to $75 an acre
az extravagant for it's value. 1t
is readily worth all the way
from 500 to $50, and the time
will soon come when it will
readily cell for these prices.
Is it not time that everyone
in the state. whether farmer,
business man, IN professional
occupation or laborer make
himself a committee of one to
have better farming methods
prevail and have more work
done on the cultivation of CROPS.
to have greater diversity of
products and encourage dairy

who was respected and loved and

deeds, dispensed good cheer, exercis-

moisten from sorrow and the sense
of a personal loss in the passing of

NEVADA A GOOD STATE.

A portion of the eastern press de-
light in referring to Nevada as a
rotten borough" that has not the
population or the wealth of Rhode
Island. But Nevada last year gave
up $4,000, 900, mostly in gold. 1t
was not produced by the labor of
half-paid employees converting some
cheap material, through machinery,
which material at once came into
compatition with other makers of
the same kind of stuff. Rather it
created money which is never in
competition but is of the material
that has made New England mills
profitable and the farms of the land
profitable; a material for which the
lust is Unsuitable which decides wars
and a nations standing in the po-
litical and financial world and the
volume of which under natural con-
conditions establishes the price of all
commodities in the world. Nevada
is a pretty good state.-Salt Lake

MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

No matter how ma y columns may
be devoted to telling how to get rid
of them; no matter how many meet
ings are held to devise ways and
means to combat them, there is just
one way to achieve the desired result,
and that is to plan and execute the
right sort of educational advertising
campaign. The weekly newspaper is
the very best medium through which
to do it, because 1t is the weekly pa
per that goes into the homes, that is
read and kept about. 1t is read on
the day when there is more time for
reading. 1t is In the weekly that the
biggest and best advertisements OIL
the big mail order and other stores
tell about themselves. 1t is the pa
pers printed on Saturday night that
are read on Sunday and are the very
best advertising mediums the coun-
try over and their makeup proves it.
Many more people read the weekly
than the daily papers, and the Sun
day editions of the dailies Is by far
their largest and most read. The adj
vertisers know this and take advan-
tage of the fact by unusually large
displays, quoting bargains.
The country merchant will have to
observe the same sort of practice if
he wants to save his trade. With a
parcels post about to be instituted in
this country 1t will be more impera-
tive upon him thar ever. He will
have to make a list of his goods,
quote prices. talk quality and show
why he should be traded with.
II We ran a store we would try to
increase the business volume by
making things attractive to the pur-
chasing public. We would try to get
out of the old rut and make things

around about. We would advertise
In a striking way and keep everlast-
ingly at it just as do the big mail or
der fellows. All these big city houses
began in a very small way. All have
made great success by the use of
printers ink. How many people
would know about Montgomery
Ward, Sears Roebuek, Mandel's or
Mashal Fields if they did not adver-
tise. Not one in ten thousand, and
now how many know about them?
Everyone, and all because they know
how to tell their stories.
How are the people to know what

told?
The progressive merchant is the
man who knows how to use printers
ink, and the progressive man doesn't
confine his advertising to the Christ
