TALKS
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, December 1.-(Speclal) It now seems certain that well defined differences of opinion as to what would be equitable tariff rates in the woolen schedule will be found to exist be- tween members of President Tafts tariff board. Two of the republican President today to discuss the reports to this effect that have become public. It is stated that the members will agree on figures to be submitted in the report, but that the members dis agree as to what rates the figures to be submitted will authorize.
 It was rumored at the White House today that the President will call in the republican members of the board to advise with him as to what rates to recommend to Congress. It is said that the President will be forced into the position of having to rely upon the republican members of the board for conclusions in line with the republican policy
 Democrats to Testify
 It is more than probable that the ways and means committee will call before that body the democratic mem bers of the tariff board to give their opinions and deductions based on the same set of figures! A comparison of these various opinions, partisan though they may be, will add interest to the work of the tariff board 1t is also not improbable that the republican members of the board will be called before the ways and means committee to give details as to their methods of gathering data and to further explain their deductions.
 MT Taft has designated his tariff board as a non partisan organization of expedience. If he should rely upon the opinions of only the republican members of the board and disregard the democratic opinions, and if the conclusions of the democrats and re- publicans on the board are at very great variance the utility of the. board will doubtless suffer.
 When the reported differences in the tariff board were called to MT. Under woods attention today he merely smiled and said that he was. not at all surprised
 MT. Underwood declined to discuss the authorized interview of President Taft in which the latter attempts to defend his administration. He smiled broadly when asked If explanations are helpful .n politics.

every year to be burned off in the
fall. leaving the ground as hard as a
board and in condition to run all
the water off into the low places.
A general system of summer fall
low such as is carried on in Wash
ington and parts of Saskatchewan
and the adoption of the dry farming
method will no doubt make central
and western and western North Da-
kota, as nearly a success as the av-
erage locality. Grain cannot be
raised without moisture and if the
farmer in these regions of moderate
rainfall will use intelligent means to
take care of what comes to him he
will seldom suffer from dry weather.
He must break deep and make a
reservoir to hold all water that falls
and keep it there until it is needed
to feed the growing crop.

C.G. Schultz, state superintendent

strongly in favor of the bill and
sincerely hoped that it would be
passed. It is known that he and
Governor Eberhart have discussed
this subject several times recently.

The bill calls for an appropriation

1918, the appropriations to be ex-

Editor Visits Syea.

Editor Hugh J. Hughes of the
Farm, Stock and Home paid a visit
to Svea. the peaceful little inland
town fourteen miles north of Olivia,
recently and in writing of the visit
later he says:
1t so CHANGED that the writer first
visited the school. Just an ordinary
school district, with, it is presumed,
though the reader may differ with
this. quite ordinary people as pa
irons. Remember now that Svea is
store, a creamery, a blacksmith shop,
church and a post Office; that the
town has not over fifty population,
and that the farms run from 100
acres up. Here is a four-room.
steam-heated, modern schoolhouse,
with library room, playroom or
possible future agricultural labora-
tory, two teachers, with full graded
system carrying the children up
through two years Of the high school
course. and for the seventy or more
pupils, excellent desks, the private
drinking cup and the school bus.
The writer hardly had time to
convince himself of all this when
word came that the visitor must go
over to the village-that the people
were gathering for the meeting
where their 81 900 cooperative store,
ample for the needs of trade that
reaches out over a radius of s to 10
miles, complete with basement, rest
room and everything save the new
ly ordered stock was to be dedicated.
The creamery, growing weather
beaten, stood silent for the hour.
The outside cream buyer had not
been able to reduce its patrons from
the line of their own interests. 1t
had paid we'll enough" the visitor
was told. The informant further
remarked, II know most Of these
people; l know that nearly all the
farms used to be mortgaged. The
bulk of the mortgages are paid off.
But if you could take from them the
profits that little building has
brought this neighborhood, doubt
whether ten farms in this section
would be clear of debt
The visitors entered the store. 1t
was comfortably filled with people.
Something like 300 present. proud
with the. sense of proprietorship.
They were raising funds to furnish
the ''rest room," and there was pro-
vided- later on-a bountiful lap sup
per, followed by program. The
editor Of F. S. and H. spoke Of
what. to his mind, was the signifi-
canoe of the occasion that it meant
far-sighted wisdom on the part of
those who made possible the result
achieved-that it meant local insur-
ance against hard times-that it
meant making better land for the
boys and girls of today to labor in
tomorrow.

Cor. Gazette:

OOT GaZeCCe.
To The EDITOR: The Ryder coun-
try, including the Fort Berthold
reservation, was a range country
eight or ten years ago, and the
cattlemen were free to tell all in
tending homesteaders that no man
could get a living cultiyating the
land.
They said it was too dry to raise a
crop, though somehow their herds
found good pasturage. They did
not consider that a country that
would grow profitable crop of
grass in its nature state should grow
small grain successfully under a
proper state of cultivation. A few
timid settlers came in at first and
were soon followed by enough home
steaders to take up the land. The
ranchmen tried to discourage those
wanting to follow general farming
They said cultivation would be a
failure. but many finally filed on the
tracts on which they had made i'm
provements and gradually brought
the land under cultivation and made
success in the new line.
Others again. who were welded
to their pastoral pursuit, left for
the west, where they supposed the
tide of actual settlers would never
reach them. knew man who left
the vicinity of Ryder and started
ranch north of Culbertson, Mont,
and thought he was safe, but he
was in country that looked good
to men who knew more about rails
ing wheat than cattle and in a very
short time he had to move again
1t has come about that a ranchel
has no chance of holding his place
except in the broken lands that are
too rolling for steam breaking out
fit to follow. There are many such
localities that will furnish beef anc
mutton to the markets for many
years to come.
The9result of the settlement ant
cultivation of the Ryder country
has been satisfactory in the main

son was too much for grain growing

A little Woman Who Acted.
Long Bow, in Journal:
O. B. TURRELI


Mrs. Ellen Willer of Detroit.
Mich. is said to be a little woman,
but she offsets it by that deter
mined air" that so many little wo-
men carry with them. Mrs. Willer
has of late been driven Desperate"
to use her own words, because her
boy, aged Is, had been spending his
money for liquor at John Kavanagh's
neighborhood place, and coming
home intoxicated. Both she and
her husband had warned Kavanagh,
but the latter doubtless felt that she
was disturbing business" and made
no change in his custom. Such are
the beauties of the patrol limits
when there are none. You recall
how Mr.. Jarr liked to put in time at
Gus place.
Well, the other night Mrs. Willer,
evidently troubled by suspicion,
peeked over the curtain that screened
Kavanagh's place from the curious
passerby, and saw her kid, aged Is,
tapping his suds right in Kayanagh's
presence. Unable to restrain her.

and with frightful screams precipi-
tated herself on the bartender who
winked out like a moving picture
and shot in under the bar for Iro-
lection. Four strong boozers seized
Mrs. Willer and deliberately put
ner out. Once in the Street she
picked up bricks and hurled through

quickly locked, but the Infatuated

fall fair last year that very interesting
letter was published in one of our city
papers from lady who was the wife of
d soldier during the sixties. The letter
was somewhat in the nature OF pro-
test. 1t seems she had put on her old
gray bonnet" and gone to some county
fair in company with her soldier boyn
with his uniform OF the war mot 0bion
County, however,, and at the gate the
old soldier was passed right through, =
but pass to pass right through was
asked Of her. She stated in her letter
also that che, with many others, had
worked through those terrible four years,
In fact had fought as hard as the men,
and they had never been given passes to
anything. II they went to the fairs or
reunions they had to pay their way, and
they had never been invited to ride for
premium and presented with gold
headed walking canes. After reading
this letter the daughters decided to give
a premium two premiums, this
year to the wives and mothers OF the
sixties. The first premium will be a set
OF silver spoons for the best piece Of

months. The second one handsome
