MAINE AND BOOZE.

North Dakotans are watching close
w the action of Maine in regard to IL
quor. With the exception of two years
Maine has had a law prohibiting the
sale of liquor for sixty years The law
has been changed, only slightly, since
the statewide prohibition measure
was enacted.
Through a lack of enforcement in
some quarters there has been senti-
ment favoring a resubmission Of the
prohibition law for a number of years.
Former efforts were unsuccessful I'M
til the present session of the legisla-
ture which-by the necessary two
thirds majority-has decided to permit
a vote.
Since Maine blazed the way nine
other states adopted statewide prohi-
bition laws. North Dakota has had it
since statehood, the question being de-
cided at the constitutional convention.
1t Is the proud boast Of the temper
ance workers that not a drop Of liquor
has ever been sold-legally-in the
state.
At the recent legislative session it
has been demonstrated that the state
has in many respects outgrown it's
present constitution. But efforts to
secure a new constitutional conven-
ton are strongly opposed by the tenn
perance workers for fear the prohibit
ton law will be juggled.
The Forum believes their fears are
ll-founded. The state is strong for
temperance and prohibition. The SEN
timent is probably more so now than
at the beginning of statehood for new
crop of voters who never drank whis-
ky has grown up-and they don't
want it.

Travellers Tales

When John Wilson went east the
last time he was the victim of a most
peculiar, but lucky accident. However
his being victimized was rather for
tunate.
The representative Of the North Da.
kota Improvement Co. was in New Jer-
sey on his eastern trip and while there
the atmosphere was slightly chilled.
Just before he crossed over on the
Manhattan side of the river, John de-
cided he would buy himself a light
cvercoat.
So he began starting down the
streets of Newark In search of a cloth
ing store where he could purchase the
necessary article. He soon came to
an attractive looking business house.
that from all appearances, was just
new.
In walked the Fargo man and stated
to the proprietor, as it proved to be,
his wants and desires. OF course the
owner was anxious to sell him the
coat, and incidentally remarked that
he had just opened his store that mora
-hS AuI busileSS anu tIltI lne pTOSSHt
customer was the initial buyer and
that it would be necessary to sell the
first man.
AS John started to try on the over
coats he laid down letter on the
counter The proprietor looked at the
letter and then at John.
''Mr Wilson" said the proprietor.
addressing tine Fargo man, "are you the
much talked of man by the name Of
Wilson, who is the president of Prince
ton university"
ooh. yes" replied he with an un-
concerned air and concealed smile.
"Well have heard so much about
you, and seeing that I have 50 dis
tinguished a gentleman for my first
customer, you can have that coat for
! nothing. OF course you will not mind

SHOOTING THE SOIL.

The North Dakota farmers get more
from the soil-for the amount Of wor,,
they do and what they return n the
iand-than any agriculturalists m
earth. Until comparatively recent
period farming methods in North Da-
kota had been something of a Joke. The
sop OF the earth was ticlSled little and
that's about all. More intelligent and
efficient methods are gradually being
adopted. improvements will be more
noticeable later on. 1t is doubtful
however, if North Dakota farmers
ever become so strenuous in stirring
up the soil as the Georgia farmer an
account Of whose methods is given in
a recent editorial in The Atlanta Geor.
gian. as follows:
The shooting up of town has often
been chronicled. 1t was always a baz-
ardous affair, both for the shooters
and the town. 1t yielded no profit ex-

PROFITS IN LIVE STOCK.

When man can sell a seven-weeks-
old bull calf for $4,000. there certain
l. appears TO be money in that branch
Of business
This is what Daniel w. Field. of
Brockton, Mass, has just done. The
purchaser was an Illinois man, who is
going to try to duplicate the achieve-
ment Of Mr.. Field, If not go him one
better. The bovine infant is bred in
the purple, its ancestors for genera
tons having been champions Of the
show ring and dairy tests. But then
1t is just as easy to raise a $4,000 buu
calf as 1t is one thu. will sell for only
Its weight on the hoof.
Peter Atherton, of LaRue county
KY, is another man who has found
that thoroughbred live stock is q
money-maker. He has Poland China
SOW three years old which has pro-
duced seven filters of pig. forty-five of
which have brought him an average
OF more than $40 each-and he has now
another litter on hand. Thus he has
realized some $500 from this one sow
In three years.
The man who goes to work inteII,-
gently and earnestly to raise good live
stock is sure to win out in the end
He may not achieve a $4,000 bull calf
but ne certainly will put on the
market cattle which viii make the
average farmers stock look like the
proverbial 80 cents.

PROTECT THE GAME.

| PHO ES TIE SNmEs
| A local sportsman tells about a South
Dakota friend visiting him last June
after trip over good part of both
Dakotas. The visitor remarked about
the large number of ducks seen in this
state when few were noticed in South
Dakota. 1t was explained to him that
North Dakota laws did not permit of
spring shooting while those Of South
Dakota did
If a transient visitor through the
state could note this advantage from
the abolition of spring shooting the
second summer after the law became
effective-local people should be able
to see it much more strongly-and
with increasing force each year that
spring shooting is under the ban.
The members OF the lower branch of
the legislature have an opportunity to
knock the spots out of the senate bill
amending the game laws to permit
spring shooting of geese-and they
viii confer a great favor on the real
sportsmen of the state If they do.
